President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Samson Ayokunle has appealed to the people of Jos to remain calm following the outbreak of violence in the city.
President of the University of Jos Students’ Union Government (SUG), Comrade Pantu Fwangshak earlier confirmed the death of a student of the institution in fresh unrest that occurred in some parts of Jos, the Plateau state capital.
Reacting to the recent development, Ayokunle called on the Federal Government to urgently wade into the situation and restore peace to the whole of Plateau State by bringing the perpetrators of the dastardly act to justice.
The CAN president said this at the First Christian Leaders Roundtable Summit organised by Legacy Initiative International in Lagos.
He said: “For the situation in Jos, I am appealing for calm in the midst of all these destructions.
“I have received calls from some people that there was shooting overnight and many youths were killed over a missing ex- soldier.
“I heard that his car was found in a pond in Jos, but I don’t know how that was interpreted to be the handiwork of Christians.
“I think what should have been done was to allow the security agencies to do their jobs instead of killing innocent people in retaliation.
“The government must do everything to keep peace in the nation and bring the murderers in our midst to book.
“Nigerians, irrespective of ethnicity or religion, should continue to cohabit in unity and love in order to foster the country’s socio-economic and political development.”

The Director of Media for the Buhari Campaign Organisation, Festus Keyamo, has reacted to the outcome of the Osun State governorship election, with the All Progressive Congress, APC, candidate Gboyega Oyetola defeating Adeleke Ademola of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to emerge Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s successor.

DAILY POST had reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Friday declared the candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of the gubernatorial election in Osun State.

The State Returning Officer, Prof. Joseph Adeola Afuwape said Oyetola garnered 255505 votes to defeat his main rival, Senator Ademola Adeleke who polled 255023 votes

Reacting to Oyetola’s victory, Keyamo on his Twitter page described the election as a victory for democracy.

He condemned those faulting the outcome of the poll.

Keyamo wrote: “For those crying foul over the Osun Guber final result, the real injustice was in trying to stop a game of 90 minutes at the 80th minute because a team was leading 1-0.

“The result at full time is what matters. Congrats to all those who worked very hard at this. Victory for democracy.”

Senator Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the governorship election in Osun State has told the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to declare him winner of the election now.

Adeleke accused INEC of working with security agents to announce the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC Gboyega Oyetola winner.

Adeleke, who spoke with reporters in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, cited irregularities, malpractices and constitutional breaches in the ongoing re-run.
His words, “This is not a free and fair election. Osun state is under siege; we are at war in Osun. They didn’t allow my party to vote.

“It’s only APC people they allowed to vote. INEC and security agents have compromised. So, there is no election in Osun today.

“I urge INEC to cancel the election with immediate effect and declare me the winner because I’ve already won the election.”

A Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court sitting in Bwari, Abuja has adjourned the certificate forgery suit against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate in the ongoing Osun election, Ademola Adeleke “indefinitely.”

The certificate forgery suit was instituted against Adeleke by two chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In the suit, the complainant, Wahab Raheem and Adam Omosalewa,
sought the disqualification of Adeleke from participating in the ongoing governorship election on the ground of not possessing the requisite educational qualification.

The APC chieftains had through their counsel, Akomolafe prayed the Justice Musa-led court to disqualify Adeleke from contesting the Osun State governorship election on the ground that he was not educated up to secondary school as he claimed in his nomination form, CF001.

Joined in the suit are the People’s Democratic Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

They also urged the court to stop PDP from nominating Adeleke as its candidate and INEC from recognizing Adeleke as a contestant in the election.

Although Justice Othman Musa in a ruling in an ex-parte motion on September 11, refused to stop Adeleke from parading himself as PDP candidate, he, however, ordered the West African Examination Council (WAEC) to produce in court on September 19, its ledger for the 1981 examination which Adeleke had claimed he participated.

In compliance with the court order, WAEC had on September 19, served the court and other parties in the suit with its 1981 exams ledger which confirmed Adeleke as one of its candidates in the exams with centre number: 19645 and candidate number 149 at Ede Muslim High School, prompting further hearing in the suit to be fixed for yesterday.

However, when the matter came up yesterday, Chief Nathaniel Oke SAN, announced his appearance for Adeleke and Emmanuel Enoidem for PDP, while the APC chieftains and their counsel who jointly fixed the hearing date for yesterday did not appear in court without any explanation.

Although counsel to Adeleke and PDP urged the court to dismiss the suit in its entirety due to the non-appearance of the plaintiffs and their counsel without any notification, Justice Musa, however, ruled that the matter be adjourned indefinitely and that parties would be contacted when a new date is fixed.

The judge adjourned the matter “sine die”.

The Council in an affidavit deposed to by one Osindeinde Henry Sunday Adewunmi and filed at the registry of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, confirmed that the PDP gubernatorial candidate sat for the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination in May/June 1981.

In the four-paragraph affidavit filed in compliance with the order of Justice Othman Musa directing the examination body to supply the court with particulars of the said Adeleke in the 1981 examinations, WAEC confirmed that Adeleke sat for the examination at Ede Muslim High School situate at Yidi Road, Ede, Osun State with center number 19645.

The affidavit deposed to by Osindeinde, Deputy Registrar/Head of School Examination Department accompanied with the ledger containing the names and results of all the candidates from number 001 to 221 who sat for the secondary school certificate examination in the said school.

The certified true copy of the ledger, however, indicated that Senator Adeleke, who is currently representing Osun West senatorial district in the Senate, sat for only English Language in the examination.

A last-minute effort by the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Bolanle Ambode, to save her husband’s job was said to have hit a brick wall on Tuesday.

Punch newspaper reports that Bolanle, who followed Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to Osun State on Monday for the Tuesday’s All Progressives Congress’ mega rally for the state governorship candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, waylaid the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and tried to pacify him to change his mind.

Sources say that her efforts did not yield any result as Tinubu was said to have “received her cordially and joked with her.”

“At a point, she became emotional despite the fact that many party leaders were there. But Asiwaju (Tinubu) did not give her the answer she desired. He merely treated her with courtesy,” one of the sources said.

The governor and Tinubu have been in the news in the past few days over the second term bid of Ambode.

Tinubu had refused to back Ambode’s second term ambition despite pleas by notable people in the state and the country.

Instead, the Tinubu-led Mandate Movement in the Lagos APC had backed Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who obtained his form last Tuesday.

The chairmen of the 57 councils had also declared support for Sanwo-Olu.

Sawo-Olu, a former commissioner in the state on Sunday formally declared his intention to vie for the Lagos State governorship ticket of the APC, promising to restore the glory of the state.

Notable APC leaders in the state, who were either allies of Tinubu or his followers, were at the declaration.

The tweet reads, “English Language papers will be written on September 29, 2018. Please, go to our registration site (http://registration.waecdirect.org) and download the timetable.”

Although the examination body did not state clearly, the postponement of the election may not be unconnected to the Osun State gubernatorial election scheduled to hold on September 22, during which movement within the state would be restricted.

Falz TheBahdGuy says he is not ready to stop producing controversial songs after the release of his critically reviewed ‘This Is Nigeria’ hit which shook the foundation of the music industry.

The artiste who recently won an Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) in a recent interview, revealed that he is currently working on a music album where all the tracks will be as contentious and norm-breaking.

Falz said there is the need to tell stories through conscious music and he is set to take his controversial music to a new level.

“Right now I’m making a lot of controversial music. It’s always going to be like that, people are always going to get angry when you make that sort of music but those stories need to be told,” he said.

Falz said it is important for artists to project the truth in their songs and in the right direction, despite mixed reactions.

“People need to hear our voices; our voices need to be projected in the positive direction as artists. It is something I will continue to do, I’m working on a fully conscious album which is dropping very soon,” he said.

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole has described former President Goodluck Jonathan as a ‘zoologist from the swamps of Otueke who ran a disastrous presidency’.

Oshiomhole through his Chief Press Secretary, Simon Ebebulem said this in an article titled: “Vote-buying: Jonathan goofed on Oshiomhole”

Ebebulem wrote the article in response to comments made by the former President while responding to allegations by Oshiomhole on Channels Television programme, Roadmap, that vote-buying gained prominence under the Jonathan administration.

Reacting to the claim, Jonathan questioned the psychological state of Oshiomhole.
However, Ebegbulem in response described Jonathan’s attack on Oshiomhole’s psychology as a new low.

He said “If the allegation that the APC national chairman is having psychological issues with the even more specific reference to “multiple personality syndrome,” came from a doctor of human medicine with specialisation in psychology, it could debatably enjoy some merit.

“But Jonathan is a zoologist from the swamps of Otuoke. This is clearly veering from his turf and unworthy of further debate.

“Probably still retaining some remnant of conscience after a disastrous presidency, he was stung when APC national chairman recently correctly accused him specifically and his party of birthing vote-buying and encouraging electoral fraud in Nigeria.

“After unseemly name-calling, the former President without even addressing the core points raised by Oshiomhole felt the easier path was to counter-accuse the APC leader with exactly the same damning allegation.

“The former President invented vote-buying as was witnessed in 2015, in Edo State when he injected billions of naira as well as other states of the nation desperately buying votes to ensure he got a futile second chance as President.

“Out of desperation, Jonathan injected over N5bn through the PDP leaders with a view to forcefully influence Edo electorate into voting the PDP. This was why the PDP was able to corner two senatorial seats in the state and got a majority of the House of Representatives’ seats against the wish of the electorate in Edo State.”

Lepacious Bose has now in a recent interview revealed one striking thing about Ghanaians and that is why she loves them.

According to her, she loves the Ghanaians because they are real and they don’t bleach compared to Nigerians who do bleach.

The comedienne was at an event in Ghana where she granted an interview. During the interview, she talked about the Ghanaian foods she enjoys.

She said:

“I also love the fact that most Ghanainas are real. The average Ghanaian is real.

“And they don’t bleach… Well, most of them don’t.

“So, when I’m in Ghana, I feel at home. We’re all black together.

She adds:

“In Nigeria, sometimes I’m like… where am I?

According to a source, she went on to make a funny face, insinuating that a number of Nigerians bleach a lot, making them unrecognizable.

Some months back, the weight loss expert in an Instagram post responded to those criticizing her for not being “successful” yet.

Read her post below:

I have learnt not to judge my success in life by the standard of the world but by my battles and struggles.
It’s interesting to see how people compare me with others, their luxurious cars, their beautiful mansions, their amazing family etc. People have said to me why are you not like so and so, why are you not doing this and that like so and so, why are you not on this show or why has this person not interviewed you or why were you not in this movie….. Hmmm
That is YOUR definition of success not mine.

Oh I want to live in mansions and fly First Class trips round the world too don’t get me wrong: but I have walked through fire, I have lived rent free in hell, I have known indescribable emotional pain that even the closet people to Me can only imagine. I have performed in comedy shows, got standing ovations while I drove home in tears and pains. I have taken picture perfect pictures while my scars hurt through my smiles.

For me simply surviving day by day is great success, rising above my personal pain is super success.
Emi ni eni ti araye ti rope mio le da nkan Se, sugbon mo ri anu re gba Olu Orun, loba MI Se.
There is more to life than your bank account and people’s opinion lol, sometimes what you think you want so badly will not give you joy when you finally get it…. Trust me, I know this lol.

The true definition of success is to find true happiness not based on what you have or what people think you have, not based on your spouse or your children, not because the world approves it but because deep within you there is peace, joy and tranquility.

Rev. Folake Achudume, the wife of Lawrence Achudume, founder of Victory Life Bible Church, has revealed how she was told to pray for the death of her mother-in-law.

She said a senior friend advised her that the death of her mother-in-law would ensure that her marriage is kept intact.

Speaking to Vanguard, the pastor said she turned down the advice even when other spinsters around persuaded her to go ahead with the prayers.

According to her, “During our courtship, a senior friend counseled us that we needed to pray, because 75 percent of our married friends were facing challenges because of their mothers-in-law.

“She said we should pray that our mothers-in-law die before we’re married. As young spinster, I was so scared to the extent that the second lady said we should start praying and I was like pray about what?

Source: http://www.mcebisco.com.ng/2018/09/why-i-was-told-to-kill-my-mother-in-law.html

“That our mothers-in-law should die? So, I asked her, don’t you have a mother? My mother has a son and if his wife prays that her mother-in-law should die, do you know that she’ll be praying that my mother should die?

“Don’t you think that if we too have a son, our son too will married one day and if the lady he wants to marry starts saying the same prayers about us what would happen? I didn’t heed her advice.

“I’d rather pray that our mothers-in-law would accept us. That was the mentality I brought into my marriage. I prayed to God that ‘what I cannot do to my mother help me not to do it to my mother-in-law, what I can give my mother help me to be able to give my mother-in-law’, because I knew if I can handle that aspect of marriage I’ve handle the major challenges.

“My mother-in-law speaks English and we relate very well. Initially, it was awkward, but with time, she was lively and lovely. In fact, we are the best of friends and we confide in each other.

“I always advise spinsters to know their expectations in marriage and be ready to pay the price and they should be averse to the “they want to take my husband away from me” mindset. Once you know that your husband and his mother are close, the best thing is to see her as your mother and best friend so that all of you are close.”

Nollywood actress, Tayo Sobola popularly known as Sotayo Gaga has cleared the air on the misjudgement she receives as a result of her looks.

In a chat with Punch Newspaper’s Sunday Scoop, Sobola revealed that her boldness to try new things and play with strange hair colours is often misinterpreted by many.

She said, “I can appear like someone that is crazy but my inner self speaks for me. People should stop judging a book by its cover. When you see a book, the right thing is to open it before making a conclusion. If you see crazy headlines about me, bloggers just want to attract readers to their blogs. When you open it, you will see something else. I am not a bad person”

The actress added, “I am not scared of doing new things. Coloured hair looks good on me most times, though I know it can make one look weird. But if you are bold enough as a man, I expect you to approach me even when I wear a coloured hair”

Sobola recently became an ambassador for Glee Hair and according to her, the one-year deal is worth millions of naira.

The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has explained the purported earth tremor, which occurred in some parts of the city on Thursday and Friday morning.

DAILY POST reports that the tremor occurred in Mpape and Maitama Districts of the FCT, Abuja.

The Director General, FEMA, Abbas G. Idriss, in a statement Friday said: “The tremor was caused by sudden breaks along a fault line, resulting in sudden release of energy that makes the ground shake.

“The rock blasting and mining activities in an area could result in the underground rocks to experience stress.”

The FEMA DG urged the public to remain calm and not panic by the development.

FEMA also assured that the likelihood of any earthquake in the country was low as Nigeria is not in an earthquake zone.

The agency also issued safety tips for the public to follow in the event of continued occurrence of tremor.

Popular Nigerian singer, Harrison Tare Okiri better known as Harrysong has made a rather unsettling statement on his recent post on social media.

The singer made what would be an early WILL as he makes suggestions about dying. Harrysong said no one should cry for him when he dies. He goes on to say a concert should be organized in his stead when he is long gone.

It’s surprising as to what prompts the AlterPlate boss to make such sensitive post. We hope it’s a ploy to pull in more attention to himself and also towards his recently released music ‘Tekero’.

He wrote; Dont cry wen i die,celebrate,put up a kingmaker concert,empower more youths,..i have Lived..i have Done my bit,carry on in grace… TEKERO❤ I LOVE YOU ALL.#altersoldier

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Katsina State said on Tuesday it had approached the Supreme Court seeking to quash recent inauguration of transition committees for the 34 Local Governments in the state.

Alhaji Salisu Majigiri, the State PDP Chairman, made the disclosure at a press conference on Tuesday in Katsina.

According to him, the party has a pending case before the apex court challenging the dissolution of elected local council officials by the governor in 2015.

“We challenged this dissolution at Katsina High Court and later appealed the unfavorable judgment at the Appeal Court, Kaduna.

“The case is now at the Supreme Court awaiting judgment, but the state government went ahead and constituted illegal transition committees.

“So, we have instituted legal action against this impunity. We have three issues before the Supreme Court.

“The substantive matter dealing with dissolution of the councils, a motion to restrain the government from constituting local government caretaker committees.

“And motion seeking the state government to set aside the constituted caretaker committees and their inauguration,” he said.

A corps member identified as Simbiat Olamide aka Trendy, reportedly died last night in an accident which occurred while on her way to Ibadan, Oyo State.

Friends of the corps member who is said to be an Accounting graduate of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, have been penning down tributes to her since news of her death broke.

Also Few weeks ago also, it was reported that a 22-year-old member of the National Youth Service Corps, Tony Zitta, was killed in an auto accident. Zitta had gone to drop off a friend after an event on July 29 and was on his way back when his car was bashed by another vehicle at the Diamond Bank Junction on Ademola Adetokunbo Way, Wuse II, Abuja.

The driver, who was allegedly speeding, rammed into Zitta’s car from the passenger’s side, leaving the victim unconscious. It was gathered that some policemen, who were the first responders at the scene, allegedly tried to steal some of Zitta’s belongings but were prevented by sympathisers.

One of Zitta’s friends, Sowa Alonge, who spoke to PUNCH’s correspondent, accused the police of aiding the escape of the unidentified driver. He said the driver escaped in an Uber car, adding that the police allegedly removed the number plate of his vehicle so that nobody would trace him.

Alonge, who co-founded a non-governmental organisation with Zitta, said;

“The police took his personal effects instead of rushing him to a hospital. But some ladies that were around did not allow them to take the items away.

“The driver of the BMW that bashed Tony (Zitta) got into an Uber car with his friends, and called a towing vehicle to tow his car away. But people prevented them from towing the car.

“Sympathisers told us that the driver bribed the policemen, but people around did not allow the towing vehicle to tow the car.

“They made sure that the two vehicles were towed to Zone 3 Police Command.”

Alleged plans by the presidency to arrest and arraign the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki barely few days after he declared his intention to contest for President in the 2019 General Elections have been uncovered.

Insiders say APC can't accept a senate president with such ambition.

A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Comrade Timi Frank, revealed the details in Abuja and said the planned arraignment of Saraki on cooked-up charges is part of a renewed onslaught by the presidency and the leadership of the APC against Saraki.

Frank in a statement in Abuja said the aim of Aso Rock and the Adams Oshiomhole-led APC is to embarrass Saraki and frustrate his chances of being nominated by the PDP to run against Buhari during the party’s upcoming presidential primary election.

Frank said: “Events of the last three years has shown that the raison d’être for President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration ferocious attacks against Saraki is based on their phobia that the President of the Senate may contest for President and defeat Buhari in 2019.

“Now that their worst fears have been confirmed by the formal declaration of Saraki to contest the 2019 presidential election last week, they are once again frantically foraging for criminal charges to hang on his neck.

“I have it on good authority that the fresh plot to arraign Saraki this week is the first out of the series of strategies being perfected by Buhari and his cronies at their ongoing ‘business trip’ in China.’

“Recall that in a statement on Friday, I had alerted the nation and the international community that Buhari’s APC Governors, Senators and heads of security agencies studded entourage is not in China to boost trade between both countries but to plot the removal of Saraki and how to rig the 2019 elections in favour of the APC.

“Come to think of it, the French President, Emmanuel Macron, U.K. Prime Minister, Theresa May and German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, all came to Nigeria with a retinue of captains of industries and highly reputed Chief Executive Officers (CEO) of thriving business organizations to prospect for trade and investment opportunities in Nigeria, but Buhari is in China with his wife, an armada of APC politicians and heads of security agencies to plot judicial and extra-judicial measures against the leaders of opposition political parties in the country and how to compromise the 2019 general elections,” Frank declared.

He added: “Recall that I have continued to cry out against the unmitigated intimidation, harassment, persecution, intolerance, vilification, arrests and kangaroo trial being unleashed against those opposed to Buhari’s re-election bid – to the exclusion of his key allies with corruption allegations against them,” he said.

The former APC chieftain however called on Nigerians and members of the international community not to be deceived by the fresh charges being concocted by the Presidency against Saraki.

He insisted that the bogus charges being drafted by the assigned security agencies are simply to frustrate Saraki’s presidential ambition the same way they have tried unsuccessfully in the last three years to emasculate his leadership of the Senate and to remove him from office as President of the Senate.

“It is a proven axiom that no democracy can survive without a vibrant and virile opposition, therefore any attempt to gag opposition political parties in the country and decimate their presidential aspirants for the 2019 elections amounts to another coup against democracy and I call on Nigerians and friends of Nigeria to remain vigilant and continue to speak-up to safeguard the nation’s hard earned democracy.

“Above all, I don’t want Nigerians to forget that Adams Oshiomhole has vowed to get Saraki out of office by hook or crook. He also threatened to end Saraki’s dominance of Kwara politics in 2019.

“Now that Saraki has thrown his hat into the ring for the presidential election, the party in connivance with the presidency is out to sully his name and stop him from participating in the upcoming election."

Maheeda has revealed she almost didn’t marry her husband. She revealed this to Sunday Scoop saying though money was one of the factors she married him, but she almost ran away at a point, because she didn’t want just only money but love too.

She said, “Money wasn’t the major reason I married my husband but it was one of the factors. I believe it was a matter of destiny; it was meant to be because at some point, I tried to stop it by running away but thank God for my daughter who gave me the push I needed. I wasn’t sure anymore if it was for love or money and I didn’t want to live a lie in marriage because then, I didn’t believe in divorce.”

Highlighting the factors that have kept her marriage going over the years, she said, “Maturity and love are the factors that have kept us together. My man was the first to be mature in the relationship; then he allowed me to grow and I’m picking it up day by day. Love was not enough.”

On if her husband is pleased with the racy pictures she posts online, Maheeda said, “My man doesn’t do social media.”

The singer also maintained that there isn’t much difference between marrying a white man and a Nigerian. She said, “I think there isn’t much difference. The only difference I see is that white men respect you no matter where they pick you up; be it from the street, club, church or work. I know some women talk of black guys and sex but trust me, some Italian mafias are also very good in that particular area.”

Sokoto- The Sokoto State Government, has confirmed nine deaths due to what an official suspected to be cases of gastroenteritis in seven Local Government Areas of the state.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Mr Mustapha Ali, on Friday in Sokoto, listed six of the affected LGAs as: Illela, Sabon-Birni, Gada, Goronyo, Isa and Tureta.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that most of the LGAs shared border with the Republic of Niger.

Ali stated that the situation was under control, as the state and federal government officials had been deployed to the affected areas while medications and other aids had also been made available.

He, however, debunked the claims that it was an outbreak of cholera, noting that experts had since taken samples for laboratory test in line with standard practice.

According to Ali, preliminary investigations revealed that the deaths may be due to the consumption of contaminated water, as rain was at its peak in the affected areas.

Ali said 80 patients were hospitalised in Tureta town and its suburbs, adding that all the deaths were those recorded within the primary health care centres and hospitals.

Nonetheless, he insisted that it was irrational to attribute other deaths to the gastroenteritis, as routine deaths occurred daily naturally at different places.

Ali also confirmed the death of one person, which occurred at Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Gandi village.

He cautioned people against unwholesome food and water consumption and urged hospital workers to be on the alert by living up to the expectation of their services.

A 26-year-old suspected Internet fraudster, Jide Ajayi, has been arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly abducting a teenage student, identified only as Miracle.

It was learnt that the suspect met the girl on a social media platform, Facebook, from where they exchanged telephone numbers...

The suspect was alleged to have gone to Miracle’s parent’s house on Thursday, August 23, from where he took away the SSS1 pupil.

After five days together, operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team were reported to have swooped on him at his hideout on Gbeleyi Street, Idimu.

The victim told The Punch that she could not explain how she got to the area, alleging that Ajayi cast a spell on her.

She also claimed that throughout the five days that she was with him, he did not s*xually molest her.

She said, “We became friends on Facebook last year. He was always disturbing me. At a point, I decided to block him because he asked me out. However, on July 17, 2018, after a party in my school, he started chatting with me again. During one of our chats, he asked if I was a virgin and I answered yes.

“I don’t know how he got to my street that night. He called and said he was on our street. I told him that I just returned from a journey and I could not go outside. He said there was no problem and he would leave.

“I went to buy something outside when I saw him. He initially pleaded with me to follow him, but I refused. He then touched me on the shoulders. I lost my senses and obeyed him.

“He took me to his friend’s place in the Pipeline area of Idimu. He held a meeting with the friend called Michael. There was a second friend, Gbenga, with them that night. He told them that I would pass the night with them.

“The room was dark. I was there for about five days. During the period, he locked me in and only brought food to me. I told him that I wanted to go home, but he said I could not find my way home without him.”

The teenager said by Sunday, Michael asked Ajayi to take her away from the house because his girlfriend would be visiting.

The 26-year-old was alleged to have insisted on her staying, as he reportedly made plans to relocate her to another friend’s house.

“When his friend was going to work on Monday, he told us that we had till 3pm to leave his apartment. That was when he (Ajayi) said he was taking me to another friend’s place, but I refused. Some minutes later, the police came and rescued me,” she added.

Miracle said the suspect did not sleep with her, adding that they were not in a relationship before they met.

Asked the kind of work Ajayi did for a living, Miracle said she believed that he was into Internet scam.

“From Thursday night to Monday afternoon that I was there, he did not touch me and none of his friends did.

“He told me that he works with a company at Apapa. But I believe he is into yahoo yahoo (Internet scam). He never allowed me to touch his phone. But there was a night he was asleep and he forgot to lock the phone. I picked it and open his Hangout application. I saw him chatting with a man and claiming to be a girl.

“From this incident, I have learnt not to go out at night again. I have also stopped using a phone and removed myself from the social media,” she added.

The Punch learnt that Miracle’s father died when she was barely four years old and her mother, Foluke, had had to cater to her and her two siblings alone.

Foluke told our correspondent that she reported the case at the Idimu Police Station and the IRT’s office at Ikeja.

The mother of three said she believed Ajayi planned to do something evil with her daughter.

She said, “On that Thursday night, I was with my daughter in the house when her younger sister came to say she went to buy chin-chin outside and did not return. More than 24 hours after searching for her, we reported at Idimu and IRT’s office.

“The police said they tracked how he started calling the girl that morning. She switched off her phone and when she turned it on at night, he was the first person to call her and that was how he abducted her.

“I believe he had a mission. His family members have been begging for forgiveness, but I have referred them to the police. It is not possible for him to have kept the girl for five days without touching her, but that was what happened. So, he had a plan. Whenever he wanted to urinate, he locked her up in the room. I want the police to get to the root of the matter. From what I learnt, his calls after he took the girl had been to Kaduna and Kano states. I want to know his mission.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said investigation was ongoing.

He said, “The girl was declared missing and the case was investigated by the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team, which rescued her. The suspect is still under investigation to unravel the motive for the abduction. The boy has denied sleeping with the girl; we are looking at a suspected case of trafficking. Investigation is ongoing.”
