"SENATOR ABBA MORO RECEIVES ELIJAH ODEH IN HIS OFFICE

Distinguished Senator Abba Patrick Moro, Thursday, recieved Elijah Odeh in his office. The visit, which was at the instance of the Senator, was to afford him the opportunity to hear, directly, from the young man what led to his arrest and incarceration for two weeks, and also to sympathize with him over his ordeal.

Elijah and his team left Kano very early in the morning, with the expectation that they would get to the National Assembly by 2pm, to be able to meet with the Senator before leaving for an official assignment outside Abuja. Unfortunately, they couldn't get to NASS until after 4pm, after the Senator had patiently waited for about 2 hours and had to leave, to catch up with the official assignment. He left his goodwill message with me and asked that I receive them on his behalf.

The 3-man delegation, comprising of Elijah himself, Ukenya Sunday and Smith Akoko, who came in from Benue, arrived the office of the Senator at exactly 4:30pm, into the waiting and happy arms of the Senator's aides and visitors.

In my speech, on behalf of the Senator, I warmly welcomed Elijah and his team to the office of the Senator, which, by extension, is also their office. I sympathized with him over what he went through in the hands of his accusers, and congratulated him for his freedom. I informed him that the Senator waited for so long to personally receive him but had to leave for an official assignment, as time was no longer on his side.

I told him that Senator Moro took his case personal because he, the Senator, felt there was no crime or wrongdoing in what they accused him of.

I assured him of the Senator's resolve never to abandon him or any of his Constituents who is harassed unjustly anywhere in the country, as long as he remains their Senator, that he would always be there for his people at all times.

Responding, Elijah said he was overwhelmed by the show of love for him by Senator Moro and all the people who stood up for him. He said it was only God who would reward them.

On his arrest and detention, he said he did nothing wrong. He stated that the hairstyle he designed on his customers' heads was only a Versace design, that it wasn't anything to anger anybody or group of persons. He said he felt really bad but now happy because of the love shown to him by people he least expected.

In his own remarks, Smith Akoko, the reporter who was reporting the incident on social media, said Senator Moro had written his name in gold and in the hearts of people, especially the Igede people. He said he lacked words to describe the Senator.

His words, "Senator Moro has proven to be a man who knows what leadership is all about. His prompt response to issues that affect his people is second to none. Al'Igedes are indebted to him for his untiring show of love and care for us, and we won't forget that. We appreciate him for the roles he played in the release of Elijah, and for inviting us to his office immediately.

"We are sorry for keeping him waiting for so long, it's the nature of our roads and the slow traffic in the city centre. Please, extend our profound appreciation to him. We are most grateful."

Professor Gregory Ibe Media Associates (ProGIMA) has given clarifications on the online publication with the above mentioned headline, IgbereTV reports.

Read the statement below.

"WE TOOK OATH WITH KOLANUT TO SUPPORT IKPEAZU AS GOVERNOR- A REJOINDER

Our attention has been drawn to a trending online publication with the above-mentioned headline, and sequel to the buzz created by the story we hereby write to make the following clarifications;

1.That the story was built around a telephone interview granted by Prof Gregory Ibe to a popular radio station in Umuahia on Tuesday 9 February 2021.
2. That in response to a question posed by the interviewer he narrated an incident that took place in 2019 when selected Elders of Ukwa Ngwa visited their brethren of Abia North block to solicit their support for the re-election of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu in that year's general election.
3.That while narrating the story of that historic visit, he mentioned that after receiving their guests with traditional kolanut, the Ukwa Ngwa Elders went ahead to reciprocate their gesture by presenting them with their own basket of kolanut.
4. That this gesture of representing a basket of kolanut to a host, after receiving his welcoming kolanut, is a customary act that symbolizes cementing of agreements and signifies enactment of covenant in Igbo tradition.
5. Therefore, that the ‘oath taking with kolanut’ alluded to in the said online publication is not a fetish activity but a simple but potent traditional technique deployed by the Elders present at the meeting as a way of cementing their agreement.
6. That the terms of agreement reached by the two parties during the meeting stipulated that while Abia North guaranteed support for Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s re-election, Ukwa Ngwa on the other hand pledged to return the favour by supporting the bid for power rotation back to Abia North in 2023.
7. Finally, for the avoidance of doubt, that Prof Gregory Ibe remains a devout and committed Christian of the Catholic persuasion, whose dislike for fetishism is legendary and subsequently can never be party to any such unholy and unwholesome practice."

"be successful at it 1st! At least over 10 years then come back and talk! And if yours was horrible, share a humbling experience to educate people on how not to do it, not come online to spew bitterness! I SAID WHAT I SAID!"

"Stretch marks are so beautiful. how did we let society tell us otherwise??"

A black caregiver filmed the moment an elderly white woman she cares for spat on her multiple times, IgbereTV reports.

In the viral video, the caregiver is seen doing the dishes while the elderly woman stands beside her, chewing something, before spitting at her.

She doesn't stop there but goes on to make threats, asking if the caregiver "wants more". She then chews on what she has in her hand then spits at the caregiver again and again.

She spat at the woman three times in the video.

Stop Fortifying Cultists - Lagos Police Commissioner Warns Ikorodu Traditionalists

The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, has warned traditionalists in the Ikorodu Local Government Area of the state to stop fortifying cultists and criminals in the area, IgbereTV reports.

The police chief gave the warning while speaking at the 2021 Ikorodu Town Hall Meeting on Security held in the community on Wednesday, January 27. He said community leaders must also contribute their quota in ensuring the safety of all and sundry in their environment by exposing all criminal elements.

He said;

“The Local Government Councils in Ikorodu must occupy the front line in combating crimes in the area. Their constitutional responsibilities cannot be jettisoned in the fight against cultism and crimes in general.

The traditional institution in the division must be up and doing in condemning the activities of the bad boys (cultists), instead of supporting and celebrating them and their criminal acts.

The members of the public, especially landlords must key into this fight against insecurity in Ikorodu by screening those to be accommodated or harboured in their houses.

The traditionalists and traditional worshippers in this area must stop promoting and protecting the criminals in Ikorodu axis and Lagos State in general. The ideas of fortifying the bad boys and providing native charms for them are counterproductive to our security architecture in this area. Their powers must be used to assist us not to jeopardise our efforts.

The religious bodies must use all their platforms, links and ideological perspectives to promote peace and security in the state and Nigeria at large. The idea of preaching prosperity at the detriment of salvation is counterproductive to security of lives and properties in our contemporary society.”
