Faithway10: Singer Chris Brown was arrested Thursday night in Florida, where he was performing as part of a nationwide tour.
Brown, 29, was scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach.
It's unclear whether he was arrested before or after the concert.
The singer was arrested on an outstanding out-of-county warrant from last year, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said.
It declined to provide additional details on what the warrant was for, but said Brown was booked and released about an hour later, after he posted bail.
The singer has had several run-ins with the law, including physical assault charges following an incident with his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009.
He was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats in that incident, and received five years probation and community service.
In 2013, Brown and his bodyguard were arrested and charged with felony assault after an alleged altercation outside a hotel in Washington, DC.
The charge was reduced to a misdemeanor in court the next day, and Brown was released from jail without bail.
Later that year, Brown was kicked out of a rehab facility after smashing his mother's car window during a family session.
A judge ordered him to immediately enter into another rehab program.

However, Garki Hospital clarified that the claims from different sources including newspapers and news site online are false, maintaining the earlier claim that a police report was not requested by the hospital.
Ortintin: "As chopping off one's head is not the cure for headache, so is commiting suicide not the solution to your predicament"
I have being reading in the news recently about the upsurge in suicide attempt mostly common among young people. I want you to know that at every point in life, everyone have thought of ending their own life but one thing or another freezes their hands.
I hope you still your hands and find solace in reading this reasons I have outlined:
1. It will upsets your parents and crush the spirit of the few that actually love you.
2. It displeases God. Besides no one even knows what happens after death?
3. Those who benefit from you, might become hopeless for life. Ok you don't believe me! Well your pet, that poor man/woman you often give alms to, that person who eats from you, the person coming to meet you for assistance will definitely feel it.
4. There are beautiful moments ahead of you. All it requires is for you to just pass today's test.
5. life is full of ups and down. Sometimes you cry, other times you laugh. All these challenges are what makes life beautiful.
6. Life is an adventure, where you place your footprints at the sand of time.
7. Pain is but for a moment, you won't always feel this way.
8. Note that everyone is going through one problem or the other. So you are not the only one in this. And by now you should have known that no condition is permanent.
9. If i may ask "can you remember the trouble you got yourself into when you were a child and you wish the ground should swallow you up? For everything heals with time. And you shall smile again.
10. As there is a solution to the hardest maths problem, so is there a solution to your problems. Discuss your situations with people of wisdom or those you know to be wise and they might help find answers that work.
11. If you kill yourself, you’ll just become another statistic. Choose to live and inspire others with your turn around story.
12. Life is so unpredictable. You might be contemplating of committing suicide, while someone might be thinking of giving you the money you asked for. Or may be its even your Ex just thinking of coming back to you. So don't kill yourself cause everything can take shape just within the twinkling of an eye.
13. Sometimes when you are about to give up might be when hope will just come. So pause and look on the brighter side.
14. Remember the story of Job; despite he lost his wealth, children, and even wife. He still had hope and his blessings was restored back seven years later in seven folds.
15. On a lighter note, let me beg that you wait till December before considering it. Am sure the breeze and fun of Christmas will wash your thoughts off .
16. Besides you can find comfort by reading articles on those who are faced with terrible situations but yet decided to live. The story I read about a man's gory scar really touched me cause no one wanted to see his face or come near him but yet he didn't commit suicide. Today he can smile again because he has a wife and beautiful children.
You can read amazing suicide averted stories here to lift your spirit.
In conclusion, I hope this article might have opened your eyes to seeing a better you. And I leave you with this quote:
"For a man to take his own life is to underrate life. And a man must never underestimate anything. For the worthless of thing today might become the most important tomorrow" - Ortintin
correctbae: Relationship Expert, Allison Hyacintho is still in the business of shaking relationships tables, he breaks and he mends it.
In his latest post on Facebook, he delve into guys supporting their babe with cash anytime she wants to make her hair. He is of the opinion that it is a very bad attitude if guys can't deem it fit to chip in little cash just to support their girlfriend hair bill.
Read full post: [b] #StillVeryRelevant Dear uncle, you cannot be dating someone and not be willing to chip in a little cash to support her when she wants to make her hair, that is a very bad attitude. And some of you brothers can just be comfortable like that, like you're not bothered how she gets the cash or if she saves anything from her monthly pay, you are just not concerned about those little important details. Every week she visits you with a new hairstyle and you're fine? For real? hairstyle that your one naira is not inside, no common sense to chip in sometimes and help her reduce the financial load, do you know what that would mean to her? Your own is just to be giving her compliments every time she makes a new hair, I hail thee sir! uncle complimentor!� because recieving compliment is the only thing she came to do in this life. We even have some brothers who celebrate that their girlfriend does not ask for these simple things, I mean you need to hear the way some men boast about this to their friends, and these are the same men who do not give to their partner willingly without being asked, they are just happy that they've got a woman who doesn't ask for anything, and they don't go out of their way to do anything for such a woman either, it is so sad. Such bad attitude. Uncle trust me there is nothing to boast about here, nothing at all, there is nothing more exciting to a man than his ability to provide, especially when he is not being told. If you've got a woman who does not ask you for anything don't celebrate that independent woman by doing nothing to encourage her independence, use your common sense to identify some of her petty needs and support her, such women do not need alot, gestures as simple as; "baby take this little 5k and add it to the money you have saved up to make your hair" "Baby don't worry about the cash to make your hair next month, I will save up for you." "Love I have just 3k on me, use it to buy a new weavon" "Baby what if i buy you a new wig to replace this old one that is making you look like Bob Marley "�� Sometimes these are the kind of compliments your woman needs to hear, not when she has to ask, com'on! It is not everytime you'll go and be blowing siren woow wow wooow baby you look beautiful, please start doing something to encourage her beauty, wooow wooow wow cannot buy darling yankee.��� Click on this link to receive direct letters from me via your inbox every week http:///jesusgang #toolateforyourmarriagetofail #confessionsofagoodman #allisonhyacintho[/b]
ifeoluwa5050: I want to set up a piggery farm, I needed help from people who have the idea on How to set it up and to give me all necessary information about pig....your advice count.d thanks E
Bilaludeen: An Igando Customary Court in Lagos on Wednesday dissolved the 10-year marriage between Mrs Florence Anyasi and her husband, Stanley Anyasi over infidelity.
The 36-year-old trader told the court that apart from numerous cases of his following women around, her husband used to sneak into their maid’s room to sleep with her.
“My husband is a womaniser, he used to leave me in the bed at night and sneak into my maid’s room. I have caught him severally on my maid’s bed sexually assaulting her.
“A neighbour approached me and told me to warn my husband to desist from asking her daughter to have love affairs with him.
“I once caught him sucking the breasts of my niece, who is a minor and he is also fond of wooing my friends,” she said,
The petitioner told the court that her husband had once tried to poison her when he brought food to her which subsequently caused her serious pain and vomiting.
“I was rushed to the hospital by neighbours, when I was diagnosed, it was detected that the food I just ate had been poisoned,” she said.
The mother of three said that her husband equally turned her into a punching bag, beating her at the slightest provocation, and has been calling her thief and prostitute in public.
The estranged woman stressed that her husband was irresponsible and unable to provide food or pay for the education of their children.
She urged the court to dissolve her marriage with Stanley.
The respondent, however, denied all the allegations and in turn accused his wife of adultery, claiming that her lover even bought a car for her.
“In January 2017 she came home with a car of N1 million, when I queried her where she got the car from, she claimed she bought it with her money.
“I strongly disagreed with her because she is only selling foodstuffs and can never afford that kind of a car,” he said.
The 40-year-old businessman said that his wife packed out of their matrimonial home in 2017 without his knowledge.
“I came home from work and discovered that my wife had packed all her belonging out with the children to start living with her lover.
“I called her severally, she refused to pick but she eventually picked my call last January and informed me that our last baby she delivered in May 2017 was not mine that the child belonged to the man she is presently living with.
“Before she even gave birth and packed out of my house, I always received information from people that they saw my wife in hotel with men but I always ignored them.”
NAN reports that on the allegation of turning her to a punching bag, Stanley said that he only beat her once when she stabbed him with bottle on his head.
The respondent urged the court to grant his wife’s wish for the dissolution of marriage saying that he too was no longer interested.
Delivering the judgement, the court president, Mr Akin Akinniyi, said that all efforts to reconcile the couple had failed.
“Since both parties consented to the dissolution of their marriage, this court has no choice than to dissolve the marriage.
“The court hereby pronounces the marriage between Mrs Florence Anyasi and Mr Stanley Anyasi dissolved today.
“Both of you henceforth cease to be husband and wife, each of you should go on his or her separate ways unmolested.
“The court wishes both of you well in your new journey of life.
“The court grants the custody of the children, age 10, 8, 6 respectively to their mother, the petitioner, pending when they attain the age of 18 years to decide who to stay with.

Amagite3: Today, eight families showed up for DNA test in connection with the Otedola Link Bridge explosion which result to a wild fire that killed 12 people on June 28, 2018.
Head of the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, Dr Richard Somiari, has however said that more families were still expected to visit the facility in connection with the deadly explosion.
"There are two categories of people that come for the testing, those who believe strongly that their family members died and need to be identified. The other category includes people who just do not know because the family person is missing. So, we will expect that those two categories of people will come” he said.
Somiari said that the duration needed to complete the DNA process and results interpretation could not be ascertained because of protocols that must be followed, due to the magnitude of the accident. According to him, there are two processes involved, including the actual DNA matching and the process by the pathologist, who takes samples from the remains that were recovered.
“The actual process in our laboratory is fast. The thing is the quality of the sample that is coming from the victim. So, until we get those samples from the pathologist, we do not know how long it will take. If it is significantly degraded, then it means we have to go through multiple steps of isolation and clean up before we do the profile generation. These samples are not as clean as reference samples and we do not want to make a mistake in the process. We realise that everybody will like to get the result fast and bring a closure to this but at the same time we want to be careful“ he said.

But for passersby who promptly mobilized to pour water on him, he would have succeeded in killing himself.

Quintuple: A member of the House of Representatives, Hon Ahmed Maje, has insisted that politicians were behind the killings in Plateau State.
Speaking during plenary, Maje claimed he had evidence to prove that politicians were behind the many killings in the state.
The lawmaker, who represents Wase constituency in Plateau state, noted that he was aware that he was putting his life in danger by making the disclosure.
According to Maje, “I want to say this that the security men are not doing their work, they are the remote causes of this matter, whether we like it or not. I want to tell this House and Nigerians that about 300 people were trained in Israel, it’s there in our report, we gave it to the government to work on and find out those sponsoring them.
“Till today, nobody has been traced and these people are the ones who go about killing people. I’m giving you this and I’m willing to surrender this documents.
“A company in Plateau State did importation and about four containers were missing and when we traced as a committee what was in those containers, we were told that the containers were taken to the house of a politician. When we traced the name of the company it was a security company in Israel. They bought arms.
“We do not want to say the truth and this will continue to hunt and bedevil us. The truth of the matter is that there are some politicians behind this killings. I’m from Plateau State and I’m saying those behind this are politicians and I know I’m putting my life on the line by saying this, but I prefer to die and save others. I’m willing to surrender some of these documents.”
Watch video….
I am of the view that @MBuhari must go after everyone involved in the Jos killings either politically motivated or not.
However the confession by this Plateau State Rep member is worth considering.
Amagite: On Monday, the Canadian dream of a family of Nigerian migrants who arrived in Quebec in April, 2018, turned into a nightmare, Montreal Journal reports.
Two days after moving into their first home in Montreal, the 6-year-old son drowned in a swimming pool in the Saint-Léonard neighborhood. "I dream of being able to go back," sobs Bukola Babayemi, 31.
On her way to the low-cost resort pool on Monday, when the weather was hot, she was far from suspecting that she was spending her last moments with her eldest son, Bukumi.
"I told him to stay next to me.
But it took a second of inattention and I lost it. I immediately alerted the rescuer, but it was too late,”
whispers the mother of three, in tears.
After being found unconscious in the bottom of the pool, the boy was rush to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
Bukumi was to start school in September.
The pool has since be shutdown. In hopes of providing a better life for her children, Ms. Babayemi made the big trip to Canada from Houston, U.S last April.
Arrived in the United States in August 2016, she said she quickly realized that this country was not made for her family.
"It's so hard for the migrants there. We can do almost nothing, I had to beg for church food for my children," she said.
goldcoinhub: A Kenyan millionaire madam who ran two brothels and enslaved a Romanian woman to fund lavish home improvements was jailed for 10 years today.
Ann O’Brien, 44, and husband Martin Carroll, 47, splashed out on a loft conversion, ground floor extension, designer kitchen several giant flat screen TVs and even £10,000 curtains.
O’Brien opened her first three-girl escort agency in 1997 after leaving a small village in Kenya and heading to Ireland where she married her first husband Patrick O’Brien.
She was eventually managing 40 prostitutes and paying thousands of pounds into 27 bank accounts each week.
She paid a £400,000 deposit to buy a £1.27m Georgian townhouse in Upper Berkeley Street, Mayfair, to run as a brothel offering a choice of women from around the world.
O’Brien was also running two websites dubbed ‘brothels on wheels’ which sent girls to homes and hotel rooms.
Her sex menu offered services for between £40-£150 depending on the degree of sexual contact with girls from as far afield as Thailand, Brazil and Sweden.
O’Brien was convicted of three counts of controlling prostitution in 2005 but let off with a 180-community punishment order and ordered to pay back £600,000 of her fortune.
Officers from the Met’s financial investigations unit seized assets including the madam’s Kilburn High Road hairdressing salon, her car and what remained in her bank accounts.
But soon O’Brien had started business again, running two bordellos with her husband and sister.
She was convicted of charges including conspiracy to control prostitution for gain, facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation after her latest Southwark Crown Court trial.
Carroll and O’Brien’s sister Elizabeth Muya, 48, were found guilty of conspiracy to convert criminal property and two counts of keeping a brothel for prostitution.
Judge Simon Russel-Flint, QC, said: ‘This was serious criminality that exploited many people of considerable vulnerability.
‘In Ms O’Brien’s case this is the fourth time that she has been before a court for similar offending in respect of prostitution or management of brothels and I am satisfied that they do present as an escalation and added diversity.
‘Each of you defendants should know the suffering of the world of prostitution in addition to the misery it brings to many.
‘The lawlessness that accompanies it means that ordinary members of society take a very dim view of it indeed.
Carroll and O’Brien’s sister Elizabeth Muya, 48, were found guilty of conspiracy to convert criminal property and two counts of keeping a brothel for prostitution.
Judge Simon Russel-Flint, QC, said:
‘This was serious criminality that exploited many people of considerable vulnerability.

‘Each of you defendants should know the suffering of the world of prostitution in addition to the misery it brings to many.
‘The lawlessness that accompanies it means that ordinary members of society take a very dim view of it indeed.
O’Brien was arrested in her car and 21 wraps of cocaine were found on her at the time, worth just over £1,000.
Muya was arrested a short distance away and said, ‘Jesus, I have not trafficked anyone.’
Officers travelled to Cricklewood to arrest Carroll and arrest him at the bus stop.
He responded to their caution, ‘That’s b******s, I put my hand up to the rest but not that.
‘All I done was open up a bank account.’
Asked his thoughts on prostitution the Irishman sobbed before jurors: ‘Yuck, no interest - I wouldn’t fancy it.’
Carroll said he set up LMS Limo Services when O’Brien asked him to - they have been together for seven years and have two daughter - four and six.
The couple clasped in a desperate embrace before O’Brien was taken down to the cells and Carroll was left sobbing in the corridor outside court.
Grosu has already been convicted of facilitating the travel of another with a view to exploitation and controlling prostitution for gain.
O’Brien from Cricklewood, admitted conspiracy to convert criminal property and one count of keeping a brothel for prostitution.
She denied but was found guilty of conspiracy to control prostitution for gain, conspiracy to convert criminal property and one count of keeping a brothel for prostitution.
She was jailed for ten years.
Muya, also from Cricklewood, denied but was found guilty of conspiracy to convert criminal property and two counts of keeping a brothel for prostitution.
She was cleared of conspiracy to control prostitution for gain.
She was jailed for 21 months.
Carroll, also from Cricklewood, denied but was found guilty of conspiracy to convert criminal property and two counts of keeping a brothel for prostitution.
He was spared jail for the sake of the young daughters and sentenced to 18 months suspended for two years.
correctbae: IF POLITICS IS DIRTY, LET US BE THE DETERGENT – AKAN IMOH, ASPIRANT, LAGOS STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY
A very vibrant and smart young man, Akan Imoh is taking a plunge into the murky waters of Nigerian politics. He is coming in with new ideas, strategies and solutions, which has young people as a major target. He sat down with our reporter of recent to talk about his life, political ambitions and more. Enjoy.
Can we meet you? My name is Akan Imoh. I was born on the 25th of December, 1990, which means I am currently 27 years old. I have lived in Lagos all my life, having schooled, worked and run a business here. I'm a graduate of the University of Lagos, where I studied Political Science and also the Nigerian Institute of Journalism, where I studied Mass Communication.
How was growing up like for you? Growing up was fun for me. I grew up in a house that had lots of love. We were four kids, two girls and two boys. My parents were the best. They made sure we were trained excellently. Two things my parents did that shaped our lives was that we were introduced to God at a very early age and made sure we had the best form of education. I remember one thing my parents always said is 'train up a child in the way of the Lord, and when he's old, he'll never depart from God.' This helped a lot. During my growing up age, I never missed church. Sundays and weekday services. My father would bundle us all in his car and take us to church. It became a part of me. Trust me, we all somehow grew up with a deep love for the things of God. Also, for education, my parents didn't spare any dime. They weren't so rich, but education wasn't what they wanted to ration or manage. I went to the best of schools. Very good private schools which were also expensive. I remember several times, I was sent home because I hadn't paid my school fees. It was a regular feature. I was always at home for a larger part of the school session. But, I always somehow still came out top of the class. These two factors during my growing up age helped shape me to be what I am today.
How did you discover your passion, what challenges did you face in becoming who you are today and how did you tackle them? Discovering passion is a very serious business (laughs). Today, I am a Politician and a host of other things. How did I find myself doing all these? Simple. First, is understanding that your purpose is in God. It's not about what you want to do with your life, but, more about what God wants to do with your life. Hence, there's a need to connect with the father in your discovery stages. Also, there's a need to experience life. To make sure you never sit at the edge and just watch life pass by. You must get into the thick of things. Some call it 'trial and error', I call it 'trial and discovery'. This is because, the more you do things and get involved, you'll begin to find out more about yourself and what you can do. For me, I made sure I got the best out of life. I didn't let anyone tell me I couldn't do something. I already understood that my life was going to somehow revolve around the media and public life, so, I kept on moving and pushing myself. As for challenges, the major one was financial. Growing up was not smooth. I was away from school more times than I was in school. I was always sent out for defaulting in fees payment. I grew up experiencing what its like to be poor. This can be a major limitation in a young man’s life. I have come to realize that poverty has a way of messing up with a person’s thinking and reasoning pattern. And so, one thing I did was to begin to work on my psyche. I used to say that I broke out of poverty in my head first before I broke out of it in my pocket. But, its been an amazing ride. With hard work, determination and God on my side, I have been able to surmount any obstacle life has thrown at me.
What motivated you to go into politics? Hmmm. Politics has always been in the picture for me. Before we even talk politics, lets talk leadership. I think I was born to lead. I have always been at the fore front of things. You put me in the midst of people and somehow, I will just come out as the leader. I have extraordinary organizational and people skills. I was the Head Boy in both my primary and Secondary schools, I was also a major Teen Leader all through my teen age at the Foursquare Gospel Church, Saabo in Ojodu-Berger. Leadership has always been my thing. Now, let’s bring it to politics. It is obvious that we’ve have a huge leadership problem in our country. We keep complaining, yet, we don’t do anything about it. I remember when I told my mum I was going into active politics, she nearly had a heart attack. Its not rare to hear people say that politics is dirty and they would never go into it or advice their family or friends to go into it. Now, I ask ‘if we don’t go into politics, how is it ever going to be better?’. I am tired of people who sit back and complain. We have got to move into the system and effect the kind of change we want. Yes, not all of us will run for office, but, what we all need to do is to get involved. Firstly, if you’re above 18 years old and you don’t have a PVC, im sorry to say, you are part of the problem. We must rise and take actions. We must hold our elected leaders accountable. We must ask questions, we must not just allow these people do as they please. Those of us who have decided to contest need your support, and not only support, we need your criticism. Make sure you hold us accountable. If politics is dirty, lets be the detergent.
Tell us a bit about your political ambitions Yes. So, I intend to contest elections next year. I am aspirating for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly, LSHA (Ikeja 1 Constituency. Ikeja 1 Constituency consists of Ojodu-Berger, Omole, Agidingbi, Ipodo, Alausa, Oregun, Olusosun, Onilekekere, Onipetesi & Seriki Aro. I've been told several times that I stand no chance, especially because I am not an indigene of Lagos State. When I hear this, I just have one statement as a reply - Development doesn't have a state of origin. If I've lived in this city for 27 years of my life, I think I deserve to be involved in the decision making process of this area.
Now, let me say that I am doing this for all the young people in this country. I am taking a step to take our fight to the place that matters. We need to have a seat at the table. When I get to the State House, I will push aggressively for youth-related bills. By this, I don’t mean all these ones they do where they come and give us jotters and other useless things. I mean creative policies that will better the lives of young people. We have young people with big entrepreneurial dreams, walking around with laptops in their bags and great ideas in their heads. How can we do something to help these ones? Some of them just need a place to work from, can’t we have entrepreneurial hubs or coworking stations? Have we thought about sports and how we could leverage on it to get to foster communal unity, get people off the streets and give them a purpose to live for? Why can’t we work towards setting up a football club (Ikeja FC), which will be poised to begin to play in the Nigerian Football League within three years of creation. This is what governance is about? The people who are voted into the Legislature are supposed to be your representatives, yet, many of us don’t even know them. So, tell me, how are they representing you. I believe that a legislator is supposed to be close to the people, close to the grassroots. You are supposed to know what is going on in your constituency, feel the heartbeat and take the concerns to the center. But, no. we have legislators who are comfortable in agbadas and don’t care about you. When elections are close, they then come out, do one or two things and make people feel like they’ve been working. We are no longer going to be deceived. I leave you with this, accountability and transparency will be the hallmark of my leadership. The power actually belongs to the people, we have to give comprehensive reports to the people who voted us in. I am bringing an open feedback system. This is time for a new kind of governance.
You’ve done a lot for young people over the years, why are you so passionate about this demography of people? I am a lover of Young people. For eleven years now, I have consistently worked directly with teenagers and youths. I have always had a deep desire to help shape and positively impact young people. In church, I have worked closely with the teenagers and youths for years. This has led me to be a regular Guest Speaker at several events for young people, trained hundreds of them, mentored and still mentors hundreds of young people. I run an NGO, ProjectLEAD, which specifically focuses on capacity development of teenagers. ProjectLEAD has been able to spread its impact wings reaching teenagers far and wide across the country. In 2016, I ran a Skill Acquisition Programme in Ojodu aimed at closing the skills gap for competent persons (target audience were Teenagers and Secondary School Leavers) who can handle Digital Media and Content Creation. This programme, in its first edition had forty teenagers who were being trained for free on courses such as Photography, Graphics Design, Front End Coding, Copy Writing, Social Media Marketing etc. I also founded The Boss Approach, a platform which is focused on Entrepreneurial Leadership and provides advice, opportunities and inspiration for African millennials in business. This platform has been able to reach out to thousands of young people providing content to aid them in their businesses, careers and life in general. I am passionate about this set of people because I believe in the future, and that is why my campaign is themed ‘Create Your Tomorrow’. To me, I believe that the choices we make today will affect our tomorrow. I believe that these young people are the ones who are going to inherit the Nigeria of tomorrow. If we don’t take a step, we wont even have a country to inherit in the first place. I believe that we need to be deliberate about building a kind of future we can be proud of and our children can inherit and be happy.
Where do you see yourself in ten years? In ten years’ time, I see myself married to an awesome woman, the very best on earth. I see myself with kids, two or three. I see myself being a key figure in the economic development of Africa as a whole. I see myself being a role model to many young people. I see myself still in governance and politics, influencing key decisions and helping to make the world a better place. I see myself more and more devoted to God and leading a life taught by Jesus.
What's your advice for youths? Youths, we can’t afford to continue our siddon-look attitude. Wake up and smell the coffee. Its time to fight for our rights. Go and get your PVC.
How can people follow your campaign? Its easy. I am *@theAkanImoh* on Twitter and Instagram. Follow me to read up on my ideas on governance, read about my bio and my political agenda.
The police on Monday rescued the abducted father of Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, in Enugu.
A statement issued by spokesman of Enugu State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, said Pa Michael Obi and his driver, Ishaya John, were kidnapped last Friday along Makurdi – Enugu Road.
The statement read: “The Enugu State Command of the Nigeria Police Force through its operatives of the 9thmile Division on Monday at 2:30 p.m. rescued Pa Michael Obi and his driver one Ishaya John unhurt in Egede udi forest of Enugu State along old Egede Affa Road in Enugu.
“They were rescued hale and hearty and Pa Michael Obi and the driver have rejoined their family. It was gathered that Pa Obi was allegedly abducted along Makurdi -Enugu road in the afternoon of 29/6/18 on his way from Jos in his grey colored Toyota pardon jeep with registration number MUS 604CG and taken to unknown destination through the thick forest part of the area.
“It was further gathered that the abductors started calling to demand a ransom of N10 million before the operatives acting on intelligence information swooped on them where a gun duel ensued. This forced the hoodlums to abandon their victims inside the forest and they were promptly rescued.”

During a recent church service, Pastor Adefarasin revealed that the recent attacks were basically a land grab by the Fulanis who were invited from Senegal and Guinea where they have not been allowed to rule.
He added that the Fulani have been invited to take over our land to continue the colonization that Usman Danfodio began.
