Something is not right in this write up


1. She said the man, who she later identified as Seun, took her to Ojota in Lagoff

She said Seun took care of her for two weeks, while she recuperated from her injuries.

Precious added, “One day, he said he wanted to help me to get eyedrop because my eyes were swollen. I begged him to allow me to follow him, at least to see the sun.

Question
Who is Seun and how is he involved in the whole conspiracy? Has he been arrested?

2. “He obliged me and while we were going, my slippers cut and I went back into the house to pick another one. I was on my way when I saw Kelvin (Okito) my maternal cousin.”

The Ohaozara, Ebonyi State indigene, said she narrated her ordeal to Okito, thinking that he would rescue her.

Question
Is Kelvin connected with the cultists or Seun? Too much of coincidence here

3. Precious said she had pleaded with a man that had indicated interest to sleep with her on a night, to allow her make a call with his phone.

She said she called Okito and told him she was suffering, begging him to talk to the woman to allow her go.

Okito was said to have assured the 15-year-old that he would do something.

Question
Why did she call Okito again? Why not call her mother whom she's been craving to call and had phone seized earlier?

We can never know the truth but to me it seem the girl must have ran away with the men #justsaying

2. Using the children as blackmail:
He’s going to hear your concern for the children as prof you’re interested in him only as a father. Let’s face it, if he suggested you act as a housekeeper and nursemaid and nothing else, would you jump at the offer. You also risk becoming the wife of every man’s nightmares – ‘she’s turning my children against me’. Yes, he might stay because you’ve held a gun to his head or maybe he’ss just say,”what else have I got to lose?” and leave, setting you up for a bitter and protracted divorce

Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev’d Nicholas Okoh, has advised President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, against giving any position to politicians defecting into the All Progressives Congress, APC. He described such people as lacking in credibility.

Precious Nwaigwe, the 15-year-old girl kidnapped in the Ajah area of Lagos State, while on her way to school in Ogun State, has been returned to Lagos about a year after her abduction.

PUNCH Metro learnt that detectives at the State Criminal Investigation Department, together with men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, rescued the girl.

She was said to have been dropped off in the Obalende area of Lagos State on Friday.

Our correspondent had exclusively reported on January 27, 2015, that Precious had come to Lagos from her school to spend the holiday with her father in the Ajah area of the state.

Her father, Okoro, had told our correspondent that he took her to the Sangotedo Motor Park when it was time for her to go back to school.

He said he bid his daughter farewell on the fateful day, May 24, 2014, without knowing the vehicle she boarded was owned by kidnappers.

It was reported that a few weeks after the journey, the Nwaigwes got a call from Precious’s school, Ikenne Community College, Ikenne, Ogun State, that she had yet to arrive in the school.

They were said to have reported to policemen from the Ajah division.

It was reported that about two months after the kidnap, the victim’s parents got a call from the kidnappers in the Niger Republic, who demanded a ransom of $100,000.

In a follow-up report, our correspondent reported that the kidnappers threatened to make Precious work for the ransom, if it was not paid.

Our correspondent later reported that Precious had been sold to a love-vendor, who told her parents that “it is just business”.

The victim’s father had expressed helplessness and frustration, saying the family had become bankrupt from spending much without getting any result.

The case had been transferred from the Ajah Police Division to the SCID, where a number of arrests were made.

The matter was later taken over by SARS, where it was discovered that the victim had been sold to Libya.

It was also didcovered that a relative of the girl was involved in the kidnap.

Our correspondent learnt that one of the suspects, Kelvin Kizito, opened up to the police after undergoing a series of interrogations.

The source said, “This Kelvin had been arrested for some time now, and he had been reluctant to release information.

“But he was made to undergo some serious interrogations and drillings, and afterwards, he said he should be allowed access to a phone.

“When he was given the phone, he called one of his people and told them to release the girl because the game was up.

“The girl was released from Libya and on Friday she arrived in Lagos. She was dropped off at Obalende.”

Precious’ father confirmed that his daughter had been found.

He said, “Yes, she’s been found. I am just leaving the village and coming to Lagos as well. I will give you some more details later.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Police Command, Kenneth Nwosu, said he would get back to our correspondent, but had yet to do so as of press time.

An outgoing governor from the Southsouth is being tipped to take over as national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the plot to unseat the incumbent, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, thickens.
Mu’azu is being targeted by many party faithful for the party’s disastrous outing in the recent elections, its worst since it swept into power in 1999.
The ‘Mu’azu must- go’ campaign is being spearheaded by chieftains of the party including governors in the Southsouth and Southeast who see the two zones as the new power base of the party and which must now be in the PDP’s driver’s seat with a view to repositioning the party ahead of the 2019 elections.
More party members are being recruited to join the campaign which sources said may terminate Mu’azu’s leadership as early as May 29, the same day President Goodluck Jonathan will be handing over power to General Muhammadu Buhari.
The PDP chairman is from Bauchi in the Northeast geo-political zone.
His critics blame him for the inability of the party to do well in the north in particular and the nation in general in the elections.
The Nation gathered that the plot to move against him came about at a meeting of all the PDP governors, governors- elect, Senators, Senators- elect, Reps and Reps-elect last week.
The meeting was said to have x-rayed the party’s performance in each of the six geo-political zones.
According to sources, the meeting was characterised by accusations and counter accusations of disloyalty, betrayal and anti-party activities amongst chieftains, especially in the northern zones.
Soon after the Abuja meeting, one of the Southsouth governors openly blamed PDP’s loss at the federal level on what he described as indiscipline and disloyalty by some party members.
He spoke at the inauguration of a special committee to examine the performance and conduct of the PDP leaders during the polls.
The governor who warned that dire consequences awaited any member found to be involved in anti-party activities, emphasised the importance of party discipline and loyalty towards achieving success in any political contest.
“From proceeding at the meeting, it was obvious that the party urgently needs a new direction. For this to happen, we must get new leadership immediately. And there is no pretending that the leadership can no longer remain in the north following its woeful performance in that region,” a party source told The Nation.
“We cannot be led by people whose commitment to the party is now questionable. Those who have stakes in the party must take charge and rescue the party at this crucial stage. This is the idea behind the resolve to bring the chairmanship back to the south. But I am not aware that a particular is mentioned to occupy the seat,” the source, a defeated Senatorial candidate who was at the meeting added.
It was also gathered that at the end of the Abuja post-mortem, PDP governors from the southern states met with some prominent party leaders including Senator Pius Anyim and Chief E.K Clark and urged them to support the replacement of Muazu with a respected Southsouth Governor before May 29.
“The presidency has bought into the idea and Muazu’s days in office may be numbered. Prominent party leaders like E.K Clark and others have endorsed the candidature of the outgoing Governor who has not been elected or appointed into any public office for now,” another source said.
“It is a popular opinion amongst us that the leadership of the party should return to the south now that a northerner is the next president of the country,” another source added.
The Nation learnt that a repeat of the meeting has been scheduled for this week. It is expected that the anti-Muazu governors will move against the PDP boss anytime after the said meeting.”

Resident Electoral Commissioner for Kogi state narrowly escaped being lynched at Ajaokuta by irate voters who protested non availability of election materials, especially ballot papers during last week’s House of Assembly rerun election.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Kogi state, Alhaji Halilu Pai has confirmed that election materials for Ajaokuta Constituency in the rerun election held on saturday last week were diverted which led to violence in the area.

Pai who confirmed to journalists on sunday, said officials of the commission involved in the incident have been arrested and are currently being investigated by security agencies.

During the protest, INEC ad hoc and permanent staff escaped into the bush, while the Local Government office was razed by hoodlums.

Though no life was lost in the incident, several people were reportedly injured and many houses set ablaze.

Investigation revealed that of the seven polling units where there were to be rerun elections, only one returned with a photocopy of election result which was eventually rejected.

However, other rerun elections have been shifted to Tuesday, this week.

Lafia – The police in Nasarawa State on Saturday confirmed the killing of one Yusuf Salihu, 28, by another man in an apparent tussle over a girl friend in Akwanga Local Government Area of the state.
ASP Ismaila Umar-Noman, the state Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the incident when he spoke in Lafia.
“We received information on April 22, that some youths in Akwanga mobilised themselves with cutlasses, knives, among others, to revenge the death of Mr Yusuf Salihu who was allegedly stabbed to death by Mr Alias Sadam on misunderstanding over a girlfriend.
“We quickly sent our officers to the area to investigate what was happening and on reaching there, our men discovered that one Mr Yusuf Salihu was stabbed at his back with a knife by one Mr Alias Sadam and he died on the spot.
“The police have already commenced investigation in to the matter as the suspect is on the run.
`I want to assure the family and the members of the public that the police will do everything human possibly to bring the culprit to book,’’ he said.
Umar-Noman said that the police had since released the body of the decease to the family for burial.
He also said that normalcy had returned to the area and urged the public to always give vital information to the police in the interest of peace.
He warned youths against taking laws in to their hand and advised the public to report their grievances to the appropriate authority for necessary action rather than engaging in violence.
Also speaking, the uncle to the deceased, Mr Tanimu Haruna, also confirmed the incident and appealed to the police to apprehend the suspect.(NAN)

There’s an ongoing cold war between Benue State governor, Gabriel Suswam and the governor-elect, Samuel Ortom over the former’s plan to impose members of his cabinet on him.

This development, DAILY POST learnt started on April 14 after Ortom visited Suswam when he called to concede defeat on behalf of Tarzoor.

Sources within the party hinted that Suswam during a recent private meeting with the incoming governor submitted some names of persons in his cabinet he should retain once he assumes offices.

Among those listed were: the state Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Omadachi Oklobia, Solomon Agidani of the Ministry of Works and Transports and Joseph Tarkaa of the Ministry of Rural Development and Cooperatives.

The state’s Commissioner for Culture and Tourism as well as the Commissioner for education were also in the list.

However, the incoming governor immediately rejected the list, asking the governor to allow him make his own list.

Sources disclosed that following the refusal, Suswam has concluded plan to recruit over 6000 civil servants before the expiration of his tenure next month.

According to findings, these tactics by the governor were to make the ground hard for Ortom and his team to flourish.

Suswam is currently owing public servants salaries of over 6 months and pensions that have accrued to over 11 months.

In a quick reaction, Ortom strongly warned the outgoing administration against any last minute recruitments into the state civil service.

Ortom while addressing party leaders at a stakeholders’ meeting in Makurdi recently affirmed that any new recruitment carried out by the outgoing government after he was declared winner in the April 11 governorship polls would be reversed.

According to report, the new staff, who would resume duties with effect from May 1, were said to have their appointments back dated several months to cover the debt owed by Suswam’s government.

This arrangement is not restricted to the state civil service alone as the Local Government Service Commission (LGSC), has also gotten the mandate to employ an undisclosed number of staff.

The guy was hasty in his decision. The lady in question might have been carried away by the beauty of the bag, hence, decided to go for it since she thinks the dude can afford it, and not necessarily because of greed. He should have discussed it with her later and watch her actions thereafter, before concluding if she was greedy or not.



That decision was hasty mehn!!!

Co-founder of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has assured Nigerians of a better living condition under the party’s administration.

He stated this on Thursday at the Ladoke Akintola University, LAUTECH, during his lecture to mark the institution’s 12th convocation ceremony.

Tinubu said an APC government would ensure economic growth, while also providing jobs for the nation’s teeming youths.

Below is full text of his speech

ADDRESS OF THE CHANCELLOR, LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, OGBOMOSO, ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU, DELIVERED AT THE 12TH CONVOCATION CEREMONY, HELD ON THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 2015.

Protocol

I am delighted to address this assembly for the first time since my investiture as the 4th chancellor of our university. When we assembled here for that memorable event exactly one year ago, many national and international personalities were among our guests.

We had the privilege of the eminent presence of General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), now the President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. At the time, we could only hope and pray that all would be well with our dear country, Nigeria. Today, we are grateful to God because he has heard our cry and has answered our prayer for a better nation. It is, therefore, my privilege to welcome you all to this important occasion of the 12th Convocation Ceremony of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso.

Sweep of Change

As I congratulate the Governing Council, Management, Staff and Students of this university for carrying on the work of the university in the face of daunting challenges which the entire nation had to face in the recent past, I would also like to express my joy at seeing the broom of positive change sweeping across the entire nation.

I particularly rejoice with the youth of our nation whose hope and prospects for a better future are now bright. Their welfare and development are sure to receive much needed attention through the enhanced and progressive policies of the new federal government.
I must, however, state that for us as a nation to experience the change we yearn for, we should all be prepared for a fundamental change in our individual disposition and attitude toward nation building. This change at a personal level will help fuel a national re-orientation that will affect all sectors including governance. We must share the responsibility for change.

Let us use this opportunity to dedicate ourselves to ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach all and sundry. This is the only way to build a secure future for the teeming population of our youth, a large percentage of who have had to go through harsh experiences of insecurity, unemployment and an uncertain future. A great opportunity is now being presented to us to re-define our identity as a nation and re-order our values and priorities. This responsibility is yours as well as mine.

The nation can no longer afford to pay lip service to the development of her youths. I strongly believe that this country is blessed with vibrant and talented citizens whose capabilities for nation building are yet to be tapped. We must all stand in concert and unity of purpose to build a secure future for our country by developing our youth.
Government and youth have mutual duties in this regard. You owe as much to the nation as the nation owes to you. In the past, government has not always honoured its role. You have now elected a government that will honour its duties.
One of Government’s primary duties is to provide you with an education in harmony with the demands of our political economy. We must educate you with skills required by the job market that you shall encounter and not for some abstract economy found only in textbooks.

Then government must spur the economic growth that promises jobs and opportunity to all of you. A progressive government must turn its face from the austerity policies of the outgoing administrative that tried to manage poverty, but not end it. Such policies serve only to deepen and prolong the hardship of the average person. Such policies would lock us in a room without hope or safe exit. We dare not go in.

In response to the downturn in private sector activity, a progressive government must exercise the creative boldness to generate economic growth, productive and equal opportunity. Under the circumstances that now confront us, government must use fiscal and monetary policy to enlarge the economic space by embarking on ambitious infrastructural development, housing and agricultural programs.

These programs will provide jobs directly. Moreover, the enhancement of our infrastructural base and sharpening of our productive capacity that results from these programs will initiate multiple rounds of job creation. This is how economic growth and employment are sustained over the long term.

This is what the APC manifesto pledged to you. This is what an APC government will seek to deliver. You, the youth, must be willing partners in this mission of radical, structural change.

Through perseverance, strong determination and consistent search for knowledge, you must seek to excel for the betterment of your society. As you have gone through this institution, you must carry with you the evidence that the institution has gone through you.

It is necessary for me to call on you the graduates to contribute your fair quota to the development of our country. Remember, the university that produced you has a vision “to be a centre of academic excellence for the advancement of technology in meeting socio-cultural needs of the society”. The knowledge you have acquired in this university becomes meaningful only when applied in a way that impacts positively on the society.

Conclusion

As I conclude, I need to place on record my appreciation of the efforts of the progressive governments of the two Owner-States of Oyo and Osun for their commitment to the growth and development of LAUTECH.

I also acknowledge the good leadership provided by the Governing Council, ably led by Professor Wale Omole, OFR. I sincerely salute the courage of the Vice- Chancellor, Professor Adeniyi S. Gbadegesin and the Management team for bracing up to the challenges the University has had to face in recent times.

The Senate, all Staff and Students are well recognized and appreciated for their contributions to the peaceful atmosphere in which the University has been carrying out its work.

Finally, ladies and gentlemen, it is my privilege to assure you all that LAUTECH will continue to enjoy a top priority status.
I thank you for listening.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Benue State Police Command has confirmed the killing of Mr Baba Ibrahim, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), by gunmen in Katsina-Ala, Benue State, on Wednesday.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Austin Ezeani, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Makurdi, the state capital, on Thursday, that the police officer was leading a special police task force on cattle rustling in the state.
He said the task force was inaugurated by the Inspector General of Police to curtail rising cases of cattle rustling in the state.
Ezeani explained that the deceased was attacked at the Katsina-Ala cattle market by unknown gunmen who came in a Toyota vehicle with the inscription "NAND."
He disclosed that the assailants shot six other members of the team who are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Katsina-Ala.
He said the command had commenced a systematic raid on criminal hideouts and gun-running syndicates to flush out criminal elements in the state.
The police spokesman assured that the command would ensure that the culprits were arrested and brought to book.
Ezeani also said the command arrested three police officers, including security guards, who were on duty at Radio Benue when hoodlums broke in and carted away valuables.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that hoodlums had in the early hours of Tuesday invaded the Benue-owned medium and stole money and other valuables.
The PPRO also said that the two officers and security guards who were on duty at the INEC office in Katsina-Ala on the night the building was burnt had been arrested and detained.
