It could be recalled that on January 5th 2023, suspected gunmen had abducted Mr Collins Abah while on his way to work, while a few days later on the 18th of January 2023 his son was also abducted and was later released.

It was gathered that Abah was the Personal Assistant to Christopher Elehu, the candidate of LP for Onuimo Local Government Area Constituency, Imo State, South-East, who was killed by suspected assassins in mid December, 2022 at his residence.

But what would have been a reprieve for the family, turned to another story when the Imo State Command of Nigeria Police announced the arrest of one of the abductors named, Ignatius Oboh, who confessed to be one of those engaged to ‘deal’ with Mr Abah and his household because according to him, he knew too much on what led to the assassination of his Principal, Hon Christopher Elehu

The suspect who confessed to the Investigative Police Officer handling the case, (names withheld), said the assassination of Christopher may be from the highly influential politicians in the country, and he had no opportunity of meeting the sponsor (s) one on one.

He revealed that they were engaged to abduct Abah because he had so much information that was needed by their sponsor, and all efforts for him to confess and reveal what they needed from him was not given, hence he was killed.

While the Family of Abah was told to report the following week in order to identify the killer of their brother, it was gathered that the suspect escaped from the Police custody.

Speaking to Our Correspondent, a family member of Abah, Mr Innocent Abah said he could see a conspiracy from the Police in hiding some facts from the family.

Mr Innocent Abah said, “the police, who begged that I should not mention his name told me categorically that the abduction, death of my brother involves people who are highly placed, he warned that the people are still bent in achieving their aims as it was revealed during the interrogation of the escaped kidnaper that Mr Abah might have some documents or information about his Principal, Hon. Christopher Elehu.

He called on well meaning Nigerians to save the family from being wiped off saying that the time the gunmen abducted Abah who is the breadwinner of the family has seriously affected the entire family including his wife and sons....CONTINUE READING https://salienttimesonline.com.ng/2024/09/26/family-raises-alarm-as-suspected-kidnappers-of-abah-escapes-from-police-custody/

Aare Ona Kakanfo does not need weapons to protect Yoruba land – Bishop Ayo Ladigbolu

Saturday, January 20, 2018  Culture and Heritage

The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, contrary to what was obtainable in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries does not need bows, arrows, guns and daggers but requires courage, boldness and bravery in responding to the challenges facing the Yoruba nation.

Chairman, Committee for the installation of Otunba Gani Adams as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Arch Bishop Ayo Ladigbolu made this declaration in his welcome address on Saturday during the installation of Adams as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland at Durbar Stadium, Oyo.


Ladigbolu who insisted that the Generalissimo of Yorubaland and Commander of the army does not need these weapons anymore informed that the modern Aare Ona Kakanfo need only courage, boldness, bravery, focus, application of native intelligence to international issues.


He said, “The modern Kakanfo does not need bows and arrows, guns and daggers, but requires courage, boldness, bravery, focus, application of native intelligence to international issues, and the brilliance and adaptability to respond to the myriads of challenges facing our nation and our world today.


“He requires the agility of youth, and the stamina of a long distance runner, as well as the wisdom of Solomon to be all things to all people both in season and out of season.


“While it is true that the times have changed, but human beings and their basic needs and aspirations remain basically the same. No wonder therefore that the mystique of the office of Aare Ona Kakanfo and his installation rites needs to be preserved.


“The Aare does not need all the immunisation of the 17th Century to perform his tasks, in these frightening and most challenging days. read more

The Olu and Paramount Ruler of Yewaland, Oba Kehinde Olugbenle has led some Traditional Rulers and senior citizens to the palace of Alake of Egbaland on private visit and seek support for Ogun west on how to become the governor of the state come 2019.

Speaking at Alake palace yesterday Oba Kehinde Olugbenle told the Alake that his delegation was in Abeokuta to reestablish, reconfirm, reconstruct and reconcile the age long relationships between the two major groups in Ogun State for the social and moral benefits of all in the State.

Oba Olugbenle recalled that since the creation of Ogun State some 42 years ago, no Yewa indigene has had a shot as the Governor of Ogun State where as the Egba and Ijebu and Remo had been sharing the Government House between the two Senatorial Districts.

The Olu of Ilaro pleaded with the Alake for the support of the Egba people in seeing that a Yewa indigene becomes the next Governor of the State come 2019.    

To drive home his points, Oba Olugbenle gave about four books written by Yewa's academics on why the area should get support of every part of the State to be the next Governor of Ogun State.

The Yewa Monarch argued that the Egba were closest to the Yewa people geographically, culturally and politically adding that the Alake's influence could make the Yewa dream of one their own becoming the Governor after Senator Ibikunle Amosun in 2019.

While responding His Royal Majesty, the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egba Land, Oba (Dr) Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, said that Egbaland had always been fair to all parts of Ogun State including the Yewa people as a whole.

Oba Gbadebo recalled that the students from the two areas belonged to Egbado and Egba Students Union.

The Alake assured Oba Olugbenle that the Egba people would sustain its fair dealings with the Yewa and other parts of the State, praying that the dream of Oba Olugbenle and Yewa people of having their own person as the next Governor shall come to reality.

Adding that it was only fair that the biggest political prize should go round all stakeholders in State.

In his remarks, the Onijale Papa  said Yewa Obas and leaders of thought should put their house in order while seeking the cooperation of Egba people by ensuring that all Stakeholders come together in the quest for the leadership of Ogun State.

Oba Olugbenle's entourage included Professors Anthony Asiwaju, Biyi Afonja and Ayo Alabi. Others were Veteran Lawyer Tunji Fadairo-SAN, Retired High Court Judge, Hon Justice Nusirat  Saula; Otunba Adigun Akeem. Read more

Kogi Youth Writes Open Letter to Gov. Bello over Water Scarcity in Ebiraland

This an open letter to Kogi State Governor, Yahya Bello, written by an indigine of Ebiraland which is in Kogi Central senatorial district over acute water scarcity...

This appeal I am shooting out has been on my mind for days to write about, it could have been a bad thing, if I did not write this appeal, I want to draw the attention of His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello (Governor ,Kogi State) HRH Dr Ibrahim Ado (Ohinoyi of Ebiraland), Senator Ahmed Ogembe (Kogi Central), Barrister Ozigi Deedat (Commissioner For Water Resources), Adayi Engr. Abubakar and other Prominent Ebira Leaders I don't know their names or portfolios.

It is a great joy, being from Kogi Central, I want to draw the attention of our political leaders and other prominent leaders from Kogi Central, on how our people are suffering for water due to it's unavailability in the zone. It a bad thing for me. If all the communities in the region can't boast of 2-4 boreholes per community. The people are really suffering in terms of water.

I will love to see this water scarcity reduced if not completely at least to a low level, though I still commend the leaders and other humanitarians who have contributed to the development and betterment of the communities.

Some Communities don't even have water to draw from their well, I believe with the improved electricity we have, read more: http://www.trendingmetro.com.ng/2018/01/kogi-youth-writes-open-letter-to-gov.html?m=1
