0

The purported defamation lawsuit against author and lawyer Dele Farotimi of Lagos, which was brought by Nigeria Police Inspector-General Kayode Egbetokun, has been withdrawn.

The notice of discontinuance, dated January 29, was filed in accordance with the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, Section 108 (1) (2) (a). The charge against Mr. Farotimi at the Federal High Court in Ado-Ekiti is to be dropped.

The police would seek the court to dismiss the charge in light of the nominal complainant, Are Afe Babalola, wanting to end the case following the intervention of well-meaning Nigerians, according to the notice, which was signed by police prosecutor Samson Osubu.

Sowore Denies Cybercrime Charges Over “Illegal IGP” Remark

0

Omoyele Sowore, a former presidential candidate and activist, has disputed the cybercrime allegations brought against him by Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector General of Police, at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The accusations are based on Sowore calling Egbetokun a “illegal IGP” in a public statement posted on his verified X account.

According to the charges, which are filed in case FCH/ABJ/23/25, Sowore knowingly sent communications referring to Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun as a “illegal IGP” using his verified X account.

According to the police, these claims were untrue and meant to incite chaos in order to disturb the quiet and undermine the force’s legitimacy.

At around 10:00 am on Wednesday, Sowore appeared before Justice Abdullah Liman at the FCT High Court and pleaded not guilty when the allegations were read to him.

A handful of his supporters protested the arraignment outside the court.

“The purpose of police officers is to scare demonstrators.” Abuja, meanwhile, is on fire. Instead of being assigned to crime areas, look at them collected here.

Illegal Gold Mining in Your Territory – Isibor Challenges Oshiomhole’s Awareness

0

Adams Oshiomhole has come under fire from Ogbeide Ifaluyi-Isibor, a former Edo State Commissioner for Digital Economy, Science, and Technology, for failing to stop illicit mining operations in his area.
According to reports, the previous governor of Edo claimed that retired generals were responsible for the illegal mining operations that were harming the environment and depleting the country’s economy.
Even though Oshiomhole is currently a senator and a former governor, Isibor accused him of ignoring the illicit gold mining operations “in his backyard.”

The former governor Godwin Obaseki’s commissioner suggested that the Senate Committee on Interior’s chairman take action against illicit gold mining in his residence.

Ifaluyi-Isibor posted on his X handle on Wednesday, saying: “I find it hard to listen to him objectively. There is always a twist, even when he seems to be speaking honestly. Over the years, he has shown himself to be unstable, perverted, and deceitful.

He is very eloquent in his speech (and I give him credit for that), but he forgets things easily, including the standards he set yesterday. He also has a tendency to mumble and juggle words loudly in an attempt to fascinate and mesmerize others, but his main goal is usually dishonesty.

Without a doubt, he speaks persuasively, yet we can see through the pretense and opulence.

Please let Sen. Adams Oshiomole know that illegal gold and other resource mining is occurring in his own “backyard,” even if I share some of his worries.

Are people not earning billions from it as well, or is he unable to inform the public that he is unaware?

Who directly benefits from today’s illicit gold mining in Edo North?
Who shall I ask if you ask me? (sic).

Igbokwe Warns APC: Losing El-Rufai Would Be a Mistake, He Outshines Tinubu’s Ministers

0

According to Joe Igbokwe, the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the ruling party cannot afford to lose Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State.
At a recent gathering in Abuja, El-Rufai reportedly stated that he no longer recognizes the ruling party, claiming that the APC no longer engages in internal democracy.

The APC responded by calling the former governor a desperate politician who is solely interested in maintaining political relevance ahead of the general elections in 2027.

In response, Igbokwe said on Wednesday on his Facebook page that El-Rufai is bolder, sharper, and more shrewd than all of President Bola Tinubu’s ministers.
He said that Tinubu’s success in 2023 was due to powerful individuals like El-rufai, and that it was regrettable that certain government cabals opposed his nomination when he was nominated as a minister.

“All things considered, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, is essential to APC Nigeria,” he said. He put in a great deal of effort on behalf of the APC in the 2023 presidential and gubernatorial elections.

“I saw firsthand how Governor El Rufai, former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, and another Governor went to thwart the criminal Emefiele’s questionable money policy, which was directed at PBAT and almost ended the PBAT win. I also recall the agonizing work he did to keep Kaduna for the APC.

For unknown reasons, we permitted pranksters and dishonorable individuals to enter the Senate’s sacred chambers to thwart HE El-Rufai’s nomination as a minister. He was expected to bow and simply leave if truth was to win out.

“APC gave the intruders permission to leave with their sadistic inclinations. Let me ask you this now: What kind of meat do they eat? Who of the Federal Cabinet’s ministers is superior to Mallam El Rufai in terms of intelligence, courage, skill, and depth?

It is inexplicable and completely wrong to disregard and disregard our own academic in the greatest tradition. May this stormy petrel with a ton of capacity and capability never be forgotten. Oh, Malam El Rufai na guy.

The Person With The Ball In The Field Of Play Naturally Attracts Attackers: Okanga Is With The Ball Right Now

0
By Evang. John Unogwu Oche
Lovers of football and players of football will agree with me that in the field of play, more attention is directed to the person holding the ball at that moment. Presently, the ball is with Okanga and his intention is to score a goal that will put smiles on all Enone faces. A goal that will bring unusual jubilations that has never been witnessed in the history of Enone.
Therefore, all Okanga supporters should watch out for wicked attackers whose interest is to injures Enone best player that will score the winning goal for them. Connotatively, Okanga is our best player in the political field of play as we speak. Now that we have gotten his type in Enone political field of play, benching him for any other player for no reason would be disastrous for all of us.
It is also pertinent to note that a good coach does not bench a good player when he’s already losing a match. Enone people had lost numerous matches and our hope of winning any match without Okanga for now has been dashed because of bad players we had been introducing for many years. And now that we have found a good player (Okanga), with excellent striking skills, we cannot afford to loose him. He’s now our collective hopes of restoration of every games we had lost in the past because of bad players with self-centred mentality and high level of selfishness coupled with wickedness.
Comfortably, the Enone people will make use of the newly signed striker from good governance Football Club. And he’s to play in the APC Football Club, to bring about the desired change in Enone political game. Thank God he have everything we are all looking for in Enone to effect this long anticipated change. One good thing with him is that, he’s a player that doesn’t miss scoring chances. With him Enone is rest assured for more wins starting from 2023 by the grace of God.

LP Says Tinubu’s Administration Lacks Solutions to Nigeria’s Problems

0

According to the Labour Party (LP), President Bola Tinubu’s administration is incapable of handling Nigeria’s issues.
Abayomi Arabami, the national publicity secretary for the Labour Party, reportedly stated that the National Working Committee (NWC) was attempting to resolve internal issues inside the party.

Arabami praised Peter Obi, the party’s previous presidential candidate, in an interview with News Central on Tuesday for his refusal to join any political party in an attempt to gain power.

Because the National Working Committee is actually making a very wise move with the two party leaders—I believe Mr. Peter Obi and Governor Alex Otti—we have all been able to recognize that the current administration is incapable of advancing Nigeria, and for that I am grateful to God that our reconciliation process is gaining momentum.

As a result, it is the ideal moment for us to insert the square peg in the square hole. We will all come to your circular table to give and take and to disappear. You will gain some and lose some when you attend a peace conference, you know. And that’s why our presidential candidate disqualified himself from most of these power-hungry individuals who have harmed our economy, even though they were in government before today. However, their government lacks direction when they are in power, whether they are members of the APC or the PDP.

He has to issue a policy statement because he is aware of it. He remarked, “Therefore, everyone who thinks, oh, we’re inviting, let’s all grab power without any focus.”

The former Labour Party candidate for governor, who supports executives led by Julius Abure, claimed that his earlier criticism of Obi and Abia State Governor Alex Otti was driven by political disagreements and shouldn’t be taken into account during the reconciliation process.

“Reconcilatory process,” I said. You will never imagine that the thirty Nigerians I’m going to name—Senator Akpabio, Daniel Bwala, and the former governor of River State—will ever be a member of the Bola Tinubu administration.

These individuals have been diagnosed with APC cancer. However, you and I witnessed the president saluting the former Riverside governor during the most recent presidential media chat. You know, the goal of a political party is to bring people together. Yes, you will have reservations. There will be disagreements between you. However, we must be able to put Nigeria before our own grievances,” he said.

He responded no when asked if the court matters involving Aburi and the executives led by Nenadi Usman will be dropped in order to promote reconciliation.

“No, we’re stating that we’re working on reconciliation. Mr. Peter Obi has now been able to prove it by announcing to anyone approaching him that he will not participate in any kind of power grab. Those who seek to seize power without revealing their intentions, as demonstrated by the current administration,” he clarified.

Education Under Attack: Rep. Agbese Condemns Burning of Schools in Okpoga

The Office of the Deputy Spokesman of the 10th House of Representatives has issued a strong condemnation following the malicious burning of two school buildings in Okpoga, Okpokwu Local Government Area. The targeted institutions, UBE JSS Ugwu Okpoga and Government Secondary School, suffered significant damage in what has been described as a heinous attack on education and the future of young learners.

Expressing outrage, Rep. Philip Agbese, Deputy Spokesman of the House, labeled the incident as a disgraceful affront to humanity and the aspirations of the affected students. This act of arson, occurring for the second time in just a few weeks, suggests the presence of sinister forces intent on destabilizing educational progress in the region.

In his statement, Hon. Agbese called on security agencies to investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure that the culprits are swiftly brought to justice. “This senseless destruction undermines the foundational values of our society, and we will not allow it to derail the hopes and dreams of our children,” he said.

As a dedicated advocate for education, Hon. Agbese emphasized his unwavering commitment to the educational development of his constituency. He highlighted his track record of prioritizing educational initiatives and vowed to rebuild the damaged schools within one year. “Education is the key to unlocking the potential of our children and transforming the fortunes of our community,” he affirmed.

In response to the destruction, Hon. Agbese announced plans to construct a state-of-the-art school facility in the affected area within the next 90 days. This modern facility will offer students a safe and conducive environment for learning, reaffirming the community’s commitment to prioritizing education despite the challenges.

Beyond the immediate rebuilding efforts, Hon. Agbese urged community members, parents, and stakeholders to collaborate in safeguarding educational infrastructure and fostering a supportive environment for learners. He stressed the need for vigilance and a collective resolve to prevent further attacks.

The Deputy Spokesman concluded with a rallying call for unity and resilience, stating, “We shall demonstrate to the perpetrators that no one can defeat the future of these children. Let this incident strengthen our resolve to protect and nurture their dreams.”

This resolute commitment underscores the critical role of education in nation-building and the collective determination to ensure that children have access to quality education, free from fear and disruption.

The Office of the Deputy Spokesman reaffirmed its dedication to working with security agencies, community leaders, and relevant authorities to achieve justice and restore hope to the affected students and families.

Nollywood Actress Doris Ogala Claims ‘2face Has Been Bottled Up, I Have a Lot to Expose’ – Annie Idibia

0

According to Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, best known by his stage name 2Baba, and his wife Annie Idibia Macauley had long overdue divorce.
In an Instagram story post on Tuesday, Doris allegedly said that Annie used “juju” to maintain her marriage to 2face.
According to the movie star, Annie was not the victim as many people believed, emphasizing that 2Baba is the true victim in their tumultuous marriage.

In addition to calling on the singer’s family to save their brother, Doris Ogala expressed optimism that 2Baba and Annie will get back together.

The actress added that 2Baba’s musical career failed because he has been bottled up for so long and that the women who are backing Annie are witches.

The statement she made was a projection of their marriage. It is long overdue. Annie isn’t blameless, though. She didn’t want to lose 2face, though, so believe me when I say that she did whatever she did. That’s a juju tuzzle. She has a witch on her side, though, so the other one upgraded. 2baba is the victim here.

These women are wicked. Annie’s not a kid. These individuals only wish to irritate 2face. For a long time, Annie held on to 2face. For a long time, you have been suffocating this man. They will reconcile. You can bet me. I’ll suggest that 2face’s family save their brother. Hmm, this woman.
