The founder of Daar Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi, and two of his grandchildren have been discharged from the University of Abuja Treatment Centre after testing negative for COVID-19 twice.

However, Dokpesi’s son and some other members of his family are still receiving treatment, The PUNCH reports.

In a letter of appreciation signed by Dokpesi, he expressed gratitude to God for seeing his family through the trying period.

He wrote, “I am exceptionally indebted to God Almighty for keeping and protecting me and my entire family all through our isolation at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada Isolation Centre.”

Dokpesi said his two-week ordeal at the hospital provided him with first-hand experience of the enormous challenges before Nigeria as a country.

“We are better acquainted with the personal sacrifices many Nigerians are making to ensure that we collectively defeat this pandemic. This cuts across the policymakers, the care providers, and even the cleaners whose job puts them at constant risk of exposure,” he said.

While thanking many Nigerians for their goodwill messages, he appreciated the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire; and the management of the teaching hospital, amongst others for their support and care.

The Delta State Police Command has discovered a location littered with human parts in the state.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Hafiz Inuwa, disclosed this in Asaba on Wednesday while parading suspects arrested for various crimes, including armed robbery, kidnapping and cultism, among others.

Inuwa noted that a police team was deployed in the location, which oozed of decomposing flesh stench, adding that the team discovered human skulls, bones, 15 used baby pads and other items there.

He said, “One Stephen Oyibare, a vigilante leader in the Igbogidi community in Udu, reported at the station that two suspected ritualists pretending to be of unsound minds were accosted under the DSC Expressway Bridge by Igbogidi.

“Upon a search of the suspects, Yakubu Bala, 33, from Taraba State, and Emmanuel Obughor, 30, from Ahoda, Rivers State, they were found with suspected human bones and other items. They were both very coherent when interrogated.

“Also, two suspected child traffickers, Tolulope Bosede, 45, and Abiola Komolafe, 20, both from Akure in Ondo State, were intercepted while in transit in a commercial bus along the Asaba-Benin Expressway by Okpanam.


“They were suspected to have sold a newly born male child to a trafficker in Onitsha and were heading back to their base in Akure when they were arrested by the police, who acted on a tip-off.

“In the course of investigation and following the confession of Bosede, the buyer, Mrs Nkaneme Melife, also later sold the child to another buyer, Mrs Ifeyinwa Ekunno, 56, of the Onora family house, Abba village. Their arrest led to the recovery of another two-week-old male child suspected to have been stolen from the same Mrs Ekunno.”

Inuwa said the patrol team on lockdown enforcement along the Ugheli/Patani Road arrested a 50-year-old man, Believe Obasare, in possession of two new single-barrelled guns concealed in a bag.

He said operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad also arrested a 64-year-old man, Young Origbe, for allegedly operating a gun and arms making factory in the area.

The police boss, who also paraded some members of the Oodua People’s Congress from Ondo State, said they had no business in Delta State other than to commit crimes.

But the leader of the group, Chief Sunday Ani, told journalists that they travelled to his Onicha-Ukwani village in the Ndokwa West area of the state to fortify themselves.

He stated, “We are OPC members from Ondo and we came to Delta, which is my state, to fortify ourselves so that we will not fall into the hands of criminals. We always confront criminals, such as kidnappers, so we need to fortify ourselves against gunshots.

“We had taken the charm from my village and on our way back to Ondo, our vehicle broke down; it was in that process that the police arrested us. We are not criminals, we work together with the police and we cannot just wait for criminals to kill us just like that; so we went for spiritual fortification.”

Hoodlums , numbering about 50 , on Thursday night , allegedly attacked the residence of the deposed monarch of Ugboland in the Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State , Adebanjo Mafimisebi , allegedly leading to the death of a boy .

The seven - year - old boy , identified as Marvelous Akintubuwa , was allegedly thrown into the river by the bandits and his corpse was discovered floating on Friday morning .

Following the attack , the Mafimisebi ’ s family had petitioned the state governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu , and security agencies in the state , informing them about the development.

The petition , signed by a legal practitioner , Mr Idowu Mafimisebi , alleged that the hoodlums were sponsored by the current Olugbo of Ugboland , Oba Frederick Akinruntan.

The petition read in part , “Our clients informed us that sometime in November , 2019 , Obateru Akinruntan ( the Olugbo of Ugbo ) instructed his thugs to repaint the houses of Dr Adebanjo Mafimisebi , formerly the Olugbo of Ugbo , and claimed that he had control over the property because he was now the Olugbo of Ugbo and threatened that he would eject the family of the former Olugbo out of the premises.

“In reaction, an action in suit No AK / 125 /2019 , Dr Adebanjo Mafimisebi vs . Obateru Akinruntan was filed to challenge the acts of trespass of Obateru Akinruntan over our client ’ s property .

“ In reaction to the suit , our clients told us that Oba Obateru Akinruntan filed his statement of defence on 12 th February, 2020 and in further reaction , the claimant filed his reply to the statement of defence and hearing notice for the pre- trial conference on 16 th March , 2020 , meaning that the matter was ripe for trial before the COVID- 19 pandemic that led to the lockdown of the entire country and consequently delaying the hearing of the suit . ”

it added , “Our clients informed us that in the early hours of the 16 th of April, 2020 when the thugs of Obateru Akinruntan forcibly broke into the houses of our clients built within the land in dispute and started dispossessing them of their money , certificates and other useful documents kept within the houses and threw them outside the premises of their building naked . ”

But Oba Frederick Akinruntan denied the allegation , saying he knew nothing about the attack .

“I am a king ; he (Mafimisebi ) is my subject , how would I be destroying his property and his family members, I don ’ t know anything about it. Those accusing me are my detractors who are out to smear my reputation, ” Akinruntan said .

The Police Public Relations Officer , Mr Tee - Leo Ikoro , who confirmed the attack , said it was a communal crisis and normalcy had returned to the town .

“ The state deputy governor and the commissioner of police have visited the town and normalcy has returned , ” Ikoro said .

INTROVERT:

The police in Lagos have arrested a 34-year-old man, Kehinde Frederick, for allegedly defiling his neighbour’s daughter in the Ikorodu area of the state.

It was learnt that the victim’s mother had left the one-year-old child and her two siblings, aged 11 and 12, at home while she went to a farm on Wednesday.

Frederick reportedly entered their room when the woman was away, and asked the siblings to close their eyes while he inserted his finger into the little girl’s private parts.

City Round gathered that the mother of the child returned home and met her crying. Upon enquiry, the victim’s elder sisters reportedly told her that Fredrick molested their sister.

The mother was said to have reported the case to the police and Frederick was arrested.

“I went to the farm on Wednesday and left my one-year-old girl with her sisters to play with them. On returning home, I met her crying and asked her two elder sisters what happened. They told me it was my neighbour, Mr Frederick who came to our apartment. He asked them to close their eyes and molested their little sister with his finger,” she told the police.

The police spokesperson in the state, DSP Bala Elkana, who confirmed the case to City Round, said the girl had been taken to the community health centre for treatment.

He said, “The mother of the victim reported that on April 8, when she came back from the farm, she heard her little baby of about one year old crying and on getting to the room she asked the two elder sisters what happened.

They explained to her that their neighbour, one Kehinde Frederick, told them to close their eyes while he carried the little child and started fiddling her private parts with his index finger. The victim has been taken to a health centre in Ikorodu for test and treatment while the suspect is in custody.”

A yet-to-be identified man reportedly slumped and died at the popular Igbudu Market in the Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State on Tuesday.

It was learnt that the man had gone to the market to buy foodstuffs when he slumped and died.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the incident occurred around 9am.

A source at the scene said, “The man was at the market to purchase foodstuffs and after buying tomatoes and pepper, he wanted to buy fresh fish. Somebody directed him to where fresh fish was being sold.

“On his way to where he would get the fresh fish, he slumped and died.

“The man might have died as a result of hunger. He was moving like someone, who had not eaten for days.”

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Onome Onovwakpoyeya, confirmed the incident.

“It is true, but we don’t know what happened; we are not doctors. The man just slumped and died,” the PPRO stated.
