A 38-year-old housewife, Mrs Gbemisola Basorun has been reportedly abducted from her residence in Ikorodu, southwest Nigeria.
Gbemisola, mother of two and an HND graduate of Secretarial Administration, was abducted in front of her apartment at 5, Basorun Abimbola Street, Agodo-Alara via Odogunyan/Ikorodu on her way from an evening service on Tuesday.

According to eye witness accounts, the victim was returning from church in her private car, a Pathfinder SUV with registration number plate KTU 476 CM in company of her children when four unidentified men riding on a motorcycle blocked her car at the entrance of the building.


Gbemisola’s first child, seven-year-old Olamide, was about opening the gate for her mother when the gunmen alighted from the motorcycle and one of them pointed a gun at her and ordered her to the back seat where her five-year-old brother was seated.

The boy and his sister were later thrown out of the car by their assailants while two of the men sat with the woman and the other one took over the driver’s seat.

The motorcyclist and the car were said to have driven off together, leaving the children to their fate.
Abimbola Basorun, Gbemisola’s husband said one of his neighbours put a distress call across to him around 8pm and he quickly alerted the police both at Sagamu road, Ikorodu and Ogijo Police Divisions, Ogun State who later recovered the car the following day but his wife’s whereabouts remain unknown.

“I was not around when the incident occurred but the police are aware about the development and they have swung into action,” he said.
Pastor of Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, Pentecostal Chapel where Gbemisola is a Prayer Warrior, Pastor I.T, Ariyo said she is a committed member of the church.

“She is in Prayer band and Welfare departments and I saw her last during the Tuesday service,” Ariyo noted.
Also, Gbemisola was said to be ill and on medical treatment before her abduction.

Acting National Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Mrs. Amina Zakari

The Acting National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mrs. Amina Zakari, has said she accepted her appointment with humility.

She told journalists in Abuja on Thursday that she would do her job diligently and that the commission would continue to work hard with the aim of delivering on its assignments.

Zakari said that her tenure should be seen as the continuation of that of the former Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega.

Jega left the commission on Tuesday after the expiration of his five-year tenure.

The new acting chairman of the commission said, “I accept my appointment with humility and with dedication to serve. I believe it is just a continuation of what the former Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has started which has been at a high level and there shouldn’t be any problem.

“I have been part of the process. I have known the problems, challenges and I have seen the successes. What is remaining is for us to build on the successes and try to tackle the outstanding challenges.

“I must say a lot has been done to improve the electoral processes in Nigeria through the past Chairman, Prof. Jega, and a lot more needs to be done.”

Zakari was full of praises for Jega, saying that the former university don had done the bulk of the job needed to be done in the commission.

She said, “I must say it is like trying to reach an equilibrium because the bulk of the work has been done by the former Chairman, Prof. Jega, to bring the quality of changes to election management to a higher level.

“So, all we need to do is to put all hands on deck to improve further on what he has done and improve on the good practices he has left behind.

“Basically, with the cooperation of all, and the support of members of staff and the people of Nigeria, we should be able to do it pending when a new commission is put in place.”

On the challenges ahead of her, she said challenges could not be envisaged “because they come as the need arises,” but added that they would be tackled as they come.

She said that the commission needed to improve where it seemed to have failed or erred during the last elections.

Meanwhile, the Coalition of Progressive Political Parties, the umbrella organisation for 13 registered political parties in Nigeria, has condemned what it calls “the dangerous, irresponsible and inciting statement issued by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party on the appointment of Zakari.”

Her appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari had drawn opprobrium from Chief Olisa Metuh, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday and signed by the Chairman of the Coalition and National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Movement, Mallam Bashir Ibrahim, the COP3 decried what it described as “the dangerous precedent, whereby a political party is trying to decide for the country who becomes the INEC chairman.”

The function which, it said, is constitutionally reserved for the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the National Assembly.

In reference to the statement made in Abuja on Wednesday by Metuh, rejecting the appointment of Zakari, the coalition warned that “any interference by political parties in the appointment of INEC officials is tantamount to politicising the process and the commission itself, which is capable of creating dangerous schism in the commission and generating unnecessary tension in the country.”

The statement added, “INEC is an independent election management body which must be insulated from politics and irresponsible politicking.

“The power of and procedure for the appointment of the chairman of INEC is a constitutional matter and not subject of bargaining by political parties, especially those who are yet to come to terms with the fact that Nigeria is on a very strong change trajectory. INEC is also a regulator of political parties.

“It is an anomaly for the parties which the commission is supposed to regulate to dictate who becomes the commission’s chairman. Obviously, for some parties, it is still midnight.”

Ibrahim recalled that Zakari was not appointed to the commission by Buhari in 2015, but that she was appointed as INEC National Commissioner by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010 and by the time she was appointed acting INEC Chairman, she had the distinction of being the most senior INEC National Commissioner in terms of the time she had served.

The government of the United States of America (USA) has said it has not forgotten the abducted Chibok school girls and would  assist the Nigerian government in rescuing them from Boko Haram terrorists.

The Commander United States Africa Command (USAAFRICOM) General David Rodriguez and assistant secretary, Bureau of African Affairs, U.S Department of State Linda Thomas-Greenfield made this known in a joint online press conference on Wednesday.

Fielding questions from journalists across Africa in a virtual interactive interview, the U.S government officials stated that the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls is high priority for their government, while commending President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife for visiting their families and letting them know the girls have not been forgotten.

They said: “The U.S has continued to share intelligence with the Nigerian leadership, about those Chibok girls as well as other people who have been taken by Boko Haram, and we‘ll continue to do that. So far, the effort didn’t yield getting back all the girls, many of the people held by Boko Haram have been freed over time and we continue to pursue efforts to get most of the Chibok girls back.

“This has been an extremely high priority for the U.S government to assist in bringing these girls home. We will not let up on our efforts, we will continue to work with the government. We commend President Buhari and his wife for visiting the families of the Chibok girls and letting them know that we have not forgotten about them,” they added.

Responding to a question on whether the US will support the Buhari administration with equipment in fighting insurgency they said: “President Buhari is going to be in Washington later this month for meetings with the administration and we will have discussions with him on what we can do to assist Nigeria and their effort to fight against Boko Haram. Part of that discussion will be how we can provide the equipment and support that Nigerians require."
