Adequate security has been deployed in Ile-Ife, a major town in Osun state, as preparations for the coronation of Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, reach advanced stages.

Policemen were seen on parade along Sabo, Lagere and Mayfair area of Ife

Also the Federal Road Safety Corps manned major road links and junctions controlling the increased traffic within the ancient town.

Already, large and colourful banners adorned strategic locations in the town congratulating the new Ooni.

Meanwhile, roads in Ife are receiving some face-lift and repairs as part of the preparations for the event.

President Muhammadu Buhari, and other dignitaries from within and outside Nigeria are expected at the coronation ceremony.

Hotels are also not left out, as they are seizing the moment to record good business.

more details shortly...

The coronation ceremony of the newly crowned Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, is underway as guests and invitees throng the palace to be part of the ceremony.

Roads leading to the palace have been blocked by security operatives leaving a red carpet path for the monarch and invited dignitaries.
There is a huge security presence of the army, police, civil defence and other paramilitary organisation at the venue.

At a point, the crowd became problematic, and policemen had to be deployed to clear the palace entrance.

The Ooni was yet to arrive the palace from the residence of the Obalufe from where he is expected to march into the venue of the ceremony, just in front of the palace.

Groups attired in colorful dresses , both men and women, adorn the perimeters of the venue.

Traditional rulers from different climes are arriving with fanfare, with drums and trumpets announcing their arrival.

modath:
He has already started a propaganda by alleging failed assasination attempt to whip up sentiments..

you believed that APC's hand is involved in all the assasinations?

OsusuMustFlow:
Season of Probe. I hope APC is not on a revenge mission?

i don't think so my dear. If Tukur is clean, he should come out and clear his name.

Former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Bamanga Tukur, and three other successive chairmen of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) have been summoned by the House of Representatives over alleged N1trillion rail contracts.

Tukur, alongside another former chairman of the party, who is now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Abubakar Kawu Baraje, Ambassador Ladan Shuni and Halliru Bello are scheduled to appear before the lawmakers’ investigative committee on trail transport on Thursday.

Tukur had served as the chairman of the NRC following his resignation as the PDP national chairman.
Minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi was also invited by the panel to give account on the rehabilitation of rail tracks, standard gauge, bridges, coaches, wagons and locomotives between 2010 and 2014.

Chairman of the ad hoc committee, Rep Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma (PDP Edo) told journalists at the weekend that the essence of the probe was not to witch hunt anybody but to let Nigerians know how their tax money is being spent.
“In the court of law you are innocent until proven guilty. We will adhere to fair hearing but anyone found wanting will be exposed.
“Like I said earlier, this rail contract probe is not primarily designed to rubbish anybody but we must unearth how every kobo was spent and let Nigerians know how it was spent,” he said.

He said all relevant stakeholders were invited by the committee to give their accounts so as to arrive at a holistic understanding and subsequent action by the House.

“The Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi was also invited to tell us all he knows, though he just assumed office but you know government is a continuum,” he added.

The lawmakers’ investigation followed a motion on NRC on the award of contracts for rehabilitation of railway tracks, maintenance of bridges and procurement/rehabilitation of coaches and locomotives from 2010-2014.

…Abductors demand N40 million ransom

By Chris Ochayi

A former Presidential candidate and National Chairman of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, Alhaji Ganiyu Galadima has been reported kidnapped at Obajana in Kogi State.

The ACPN nominated Chief Galadima as its presidential flag bearer in the just concluded March 28, 2015 presidential election, but returned to man the affairs of the party shortly after he lost to president Muhammadu Buhari.

Vanguard gathered that the ACPN chairman was picked by his abductors after Obajana in Osaro, Kogi State while on his way to Ilorin, the Kwara State capital to attend the burial of one of his elder brothers.
Confirming the development, the National Chairman of Progressive Peoples Alliance, PPA, Chief Peter Ojonugwa Ameh, said, yes, “My colleague has been kidnapped.”

Ameh, who is also the Chairman of Inter Party Advisory Council, IPAC, disclosed via a text message that, “My colleague, the National chairman and former presidential candidate of ACPN, in 2015 general election, Alhaji Ganiyu Galadima has been kidnapped.”
“He was kidnapped today in Osaro in Kogi State on his way from Abuja to attend the burial ceremony of one of his elder brothers in Ilorin,” he said.
He revealed further that “Report reaching us has it that his abductors have made contact with his family and they are demanding for N40 million ransom.”
