South East got what they asked for. Nobody asked them to stay any war.

Anyone with experience of this new VFS appointment enrollment please? I am only seeing dates for free standard assisted, I am not sure if this option allows self upload as I can't see any appointment category for self upload like TLS had.

What is really going on in Igbo land nowadays, make God help us,

CoronaVirusPro:
No interest!
That’s the plus of that comes with all these Islamic banks

FreeStuffsNG:
When completed, the project, according to the statement, would reduce travel time in Abia’s busiest urban corridors, create over 3,000 jobs for local residents, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve access to social services, and attract private sector investment.

Same Abia State whose indigenes worked against APC and derided APC as an Islamic party is now the first beneficiary of the Muslim-Muslim APC ticket Presidency and Islamic institution they derided. Smh.

This is a solid evidence that APC and the President don't discriminate against any Nigerian let alone discriminate along tribal or religious lines like APC opponents in Abia State do.

Let it be on record that Islamic Bank built Aba

Thank you President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Shettima.

Why are ipob jittery already 😂😂, the law is not retroactive, GEJ still has one more term to go legitimately. Abeg rest.

A commercial driver, Olumide Lawal, has narrated how a suspected ritualist, Salawu Omikansola, killed and dismembered his 16-year-old son, Wahab Lawal, for ritual purposes in the Igbile Ijebu area of Ogun State.

Lawal disclosed this in an exclusive interview with PUNCH Metro on Wednesday.

PUNCH Metro reported that the Ogun State Police Command, in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, disclosed that Lawal had reported his son missing on July 21.

Odutola had noted that on July 23, the decomposed body of the boy was found along the expressway with some body parts, including his head, wrists, heart, and genitals, mutilated.

Odutola had also disclosed that police operatives, while acting on credible intelligence, arrested Salawu Omikansola and Serefusi Agemo in connection with the incident.

Speaking with our correspondent, Lawal narrated that his mother had called him to ask if Wahab was at his place because they couldn’t locate his whereabouts.

Lawal noted that upon receiving the call, he drove from Ijebu-Ode to Ijebu Igbile to meet his mother, and they both searched the entire community without any trace of the missing son.

He narrated that he reported the matter immediately to the police, and they continued the search until Wednesday, when some members of the Igbile community told him that they saw his clothes and sandals along the road.

He continued, “On Wednesday, I left home by 4 a.m. because I was uncomfortable, and I continued to search everywhere, but I couldn’t find him. I went home, but at about 2 p.m., when I returned to Igbile, some women came to me and said they saw clothes and sandals that looked like those of my child I was looking for when they were returning from the farm, and they were suspecting that my son had been killed.

“I was surprised — how could he have been killed? And I said they should take me there. The people were scared, so I took a bike and when I got to the scene, I met my son’s corpse. He had been killed. His head, his two wrists, his heart, and his private parts had been chopped off.”

He said he reported the discovery to the police, who instructed that the deceased’s body should be buried.


Following the discovery, Lawal noted that he began to sniff for information in the area and eventually learnt that some vigilantes had accosted a man with bloodstains all over his body on the day his son went missing.

Armed with the information, he began a hunt alongside the police for the suspect, and they eventually arrested him.

Lawal narrated that following the suspect’s arrest, he confessed that he was allegedly instructed by a traditionalist to kill the boy.

He continued, “While I was sniffing around for information, I heard from someone that someone was accosted at about 1 a.m. on Monday by vigilantes, and the person had bloodstains on his clothes and body. But when they asked him where he got the stains, he said he had gone to kill a dog for someone celebrating Ogun Ajobo, which made the vigilantes free him.

“Someone pointed the suspect out to me, and I informed the police, who arrested him and took him to their station. I believe that after he was investigated, he began confessing that he was sent by one Serefusi to kill the boy.

“He gave the police the details of how they killed the boy and dismembered his body, which prompted them to arrest Serefusi. He said he was scared when he was asked to kill the boy, but Serefusi told him not to be afraid. Serefusi is the head of the Agemo worshippers in the community.”

Lawal concluded by appealing to the state government and all relevant institutions to ensure that justice prevailed in the matter.

“My appeal to the government is that they should not let the death of my son be in vain. I want justice for him because I am beginning to hear that Serefusi is influential and has backup that may help him evade justice,” Lawal concluded.

As of the time of filing this report, our correspondent could not obtain comments from the suspects, Omikansola and Serefusi, as they remained in custody.

PUNCH Metro reported on a similar incident on Thursday when the Anambra State Police Command arrested one female suspect identified as Somtochukwu Nwafor, aged 24 years, in connection with the murder of a pregnant nurse in Umueri village, Ogbunike, in the Oyi Local Government Area of the state.

Our correspondent had gathered that the prime suspect, who is currently on the run, lured the nurse on the pretence that he was seeking medication, after which he killed the victim and buried the mutilated body parts in a soakaway pit.

omenka:
He still hasn't said anything about the young man abducted and brutally murdered by those he calls his neighbors in Anambra. He's alot more concerned about what's happening in Lagos and other parts of the city.

Christistruth03:
Do you think a man from Kano will not run to be Gov Uzodinma of Imo successor if Gov Uzodinma
and his people promise and guarantees him their full undivided support ?

Even Sokoto man will try his luck.
Remember it will unite Nigerians according to Gov Uzodinma

christistruth01:
Let Gov Uzodinma and his entire people Campaign and Vote a Kano man resident in imo as the next Gov of Imo State
Anambra too can do the same

That is how you need to make a big statement to champion the indigeneship bill

All these appointments within yourselves in your own SE doesn't make any difference to Nigerians

EvilMerodack:
Tinubu must have some superpower to be able to control almost everyone around you


That your people are easily bought over by others, sums up everything about you

TonyeBarcanista:
In 2013, a true merger occurred, driven by political heavyweights who controlled their respective parties and had a history of winning elections, including defeating incumbent governors. This group included serving and former National Assembly members involved in the merger process. Most importantly, they had a skilled political strategist from Lagos State, who consistently kept the powerful ruling PDP at bay in Lagos and orchestrated their defeat in other southwest states during the previous election. This group became the envy of many, including elected governors of the then-ruling party, some of whom joined their camp. That was the APC.

In 2025, there is now another group that calls itself a coalition. Its leaders are a collection of candidates with a history of electoral losses in their constituencies. They control no political structures, as most were effectively forced out of their parties. They lack influence among governors, and their ranks include individuals frustrated by their inability to secure appointments in the current administration. More importantly, they lack strategists and do not trust each other. This 'coalition' believes it can replicate the APC’s historic 2015 feat.

My prediction remains unchanged. The so-called coalition will not come close to winning in 2027 presidential and other elections.
