1hr or less if the road is still fairly good as at the last time (2019) I went

The roads are bad now, at least to Ilewo Orile. From there it becomes manageable. From Ibeshe to Igbogila is still good

Arijude:
Please those that resides in Ogun state, from Abeokuta to Igbogila is how many hours?

About an hour due to bad roads. Park is at Ita Oshin by the fuel station

From experience, best to let each other know that you can only be friends. I don't mean insinuate it o, I mean sit down and have a discussion about it. It's best if you both go your separate ways. Except she wants to come and meet you there within two years or so

Barely two weeks to Ogun State local government elections slated for Saturday July 24, a councilorship aspirant, Mr Osularu Olabanjo Muyiwa has dragged the Vice Chairman, Caretaker Committee of Ikenne local government, Hon Efuwape Olaitan Muhammed, his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC) to Sagamu High Court over allegations of substitution of name.

The originating court summons dated July 8 and filled on behalf of Osularu Olabanjo Muyiwa by the law firms of Fazaz Segun Daud and Co and Hussein Omikunle and Co was said to have been brought before the court in pursuant to section 36 of 1999 constitution, section 87 (9) of Electoral Acts 2010 as amended, Articles 7, 19 and 21 of APC constitution and paragraph 3, 4A (5) and 6 of the APC electoral guidelines 2014 and order 3, rules 8 and 9 of Ogun State High Court.

Osularu in the affidavit deposed to had claimed to have won the APC councilorship primaries for Ward 5, Iperu Remo held on May 20, 2021 but his name had allegedly been substituted for the first respondent, Hon Efuwape Olaitan Muhammed serving currently as the Vice Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the local government.

Osularu, in the court summon which compelled the three respondents to appear before the court within seven days after being served is urging the court to determine among other things whether it was lawful açcording to section 87 (9) of the Electoral Acts 2010 as amended and APC constitution and election guidelines, his name should have been substituted for that of Hon Efuwape as the APC councilorship candidate for Ward 5, Iperu Remo in the coming local government elections.

The applicant has equally urged the court to give an order nullifying the name of Hon Efuwape as the APC councilorship candidate for Ward 5, Iperu Remo since his selection was not in tune with section 87 (9) of Electoral Acts 2010 as amended as well as APC constitution and election guidelines.

Osularu in the same vein pleaded with the court to order the second respondent, APC to forward his name to the 3rd respondent, OGSIEC while the 3rd respondent must accept, list, publicize and print his name on the ballot paper as the APC councilorship candidate for Ward 5, Iperu Remo in the coming local government elections.

The applicant also urged the court to give an order of perpetual injunction restraining Efuwape from parading himself as the standard bearer of APC for Ward 5 in the coming local government elections while the party and OGSIEC must also henceforth stop dealing with him as far as this subject matter is concerned.

Osularu equally demanded that if at the date the court gives its judgement on this lawsuit, the 2021 Ogun State local government elections had been conducted and the first respondent had won as the APC councilorship candidate for Ward 5 Iperu Remo, the third respondent, OGSIEC must withdraw the certificate of return issued and award same to Osularu as the duly elected councilor for Ward 5, Iperu Remo.

Men of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested three suspected cultists after allegedly forcing a young man to drink blood during initiation rites.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Ogun state, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.

Oyeyemi said a young man, Celestin Oyebuchi, complained that some people suspected to be cultists forced him to drink blood and tortured him to join their group.

Oyeyemi said Oyebuchi added that he was abducted by three cultists and taken to an uncompleted building for the initiation into their confraternity.

The PPRO said the suspects were arrested on Thursday following a report by the victim, Oyebuchi, that three members of Supreme Vikens confraternity forced him to join their cult group.

He said the complaint was lodged at Igbesa divisional headquarters by Oyebuchi that he was abducted by the trio of Williams Omoori, Edet Godswill and Emmanuel Dimgba.

“On interrogation, the three suspects confessed being members of Supreme Vikens confraternity, they confessed further that they were looking for more members to join them which led them to the abduction of the complainant who may not want to join them through persuasion,” the statement partly read.

Oyeyemi, however, said the Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the Anti-Cultists Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for discreet investigation.

He added that the Commissioner warned that war against cultism in the state is a continuous one.

According to him, the Commissioner of Police said there is an opportunity for those who want to renounce their membership to do so before the long arms of the law caught up with them.

NEW DELHI, July 6 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) no more enjoys liability protection against user-generated content in India as the U.S. microblogging giant has failed to comply with new IT rules, the Indian government said in a court filing.

The statement is the first time Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration has officially said Twitter has lost its immunity after repeatedly criticising the company for non-compliance.

The dispute and the public spat has raised concern that American firms will find it difficult to do business amid a more stringent regulatory environment.

India's IT ministry told the High Court in New Delhi that Twitter's non-compliance amounted to a breach of the provisions of the IT Act, causing the U.S. firm to lose its immunity, according to the filing dated July 5.

The filing came in a case filed by a Twitter user who wanted to complain about some allegedly defamatory tweets on the platform, and said the company was not complying with the new law that requires appointment of certain new executives.

Twitter declined to comment. The company has previously said it was making all efforts to comply.

India's new IT rules which became effective end-May are aimed at regulating content on social media firms and making them more accountable to legal requests for swift removal of posts and sharing details on the originators of messages.

Technology minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has slammed Twitter for deliberately defying the law and said all social media firms must abide by the new rules.

In recent weeks, as acrimony grew between New Delhi and Twitter, Indian police have filed at least five cases against the company or its officials, including some related to child pornography and a controversial map of India on its career page.

Police in two Indian states have named Twitter India chief Manish Maheshwari in complaints. Separately, the state of Uttar Pradesh has challenged in the Supreme Court a bar on police action against Maheshwari, after a lower court protected him against arrest over an accusation that the platform was used to spread hate.

All these hiding behind one finger...

Men of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested 25-year-old Adetoro Kazeem for the alleged blackmail and extortion of a woman to the tune of N7m.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

Oyeyemi said the suspect, a resident of Paara Street, in the Alakia area of Ibadan, Oyo State, was arrested following a report by the complainant, Gloria Ogunnupebi.

He said the woman told the police at the Obalende divisional headquarters, Ijebu-Ode, that she received a message from a strange foreign number via a voice note on her WhatsApp, demanding N200,000 or he would upload her nude pictures on social media.

According to her, she sent the said amount to the suspect in order to prevent the caller from exposing her to public ridicule.

She further told the police that the suspect continued to make more financial demands, thereby extorting her to the tune of N7,363,900.

The complainant added that she decided to report when she got tired of the continuous extortion and started contemplating suicide.

Oyeyemi said following the report, the Obalende Divisional Police Officer, SP Salami Murphy, mobilised his crack detectives to go after the suspect.

The PPRO said, “The detectives embarked on intelligence and technical based investigation, and they successfully traced the suspect to his hideout in Ibadan, Oyo State, where he was apprehended.

“On interrogation, the suspect, who confessed to the crime, informed investigators that he had many OPAY accounts with different names through which he received money from his victims.”

Oyeyemi quoted the state Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, to have applauded the detectives for ‘a well done job.’

He added that the CP ordered an in-depth investigation into the past activities of the suspect with a view to charging him to court as soon as possible.

Haaa thank goodness they didn't tag them ESN

Why? Are you a member?

Lisaint:
Lagos State government should stop this unnecessary confusion

Lagos is just handling Mile 2 - Okokomaiko section

The rest from Igbo elerin to seme is been handled by FG!
The contractor handling that section is (WE CONSTRUCTION),they have their yard at Agbara

LAGOS State government should tell us that they have almost complete the section they are handling!


Go and check from Agbara-Badagry the road is worst with multiple checking by men of the NPF under the Area K police command.


But for lagos to be Saying
Lagos-badagry expressway is almost completed is a lie



Let them beg FG to also pressure WE to Finish the section they are handling

Let me get this straight. You are attacking the person that has almost finished his work because the other people haven't done appreciable work on theirs?

Shouldn't you face those ones?

Or the Lagos State Government did is not Lagos-Badagry Road again? Is it Lagos - Abuja Road?

Remman:
A lot of people may think this Kanu arrest was Nigerian security effort!

If you look carefully, you'll notice a bigger hand behind the clock. The people who were hiding him are the same people who might have used him as a bait.

It also look like a game to remove Buhari. If FG is not very wise on handling this matter, the UN may force Buhari to resign.

Watch out for the next drama that unfolds.

What kind of foolish headline is this?

A tricycle rider, Lawal Abdulraheem, has accused the Divisional Police Officer of the Awa Police Station in Ogun State of demanding a bribe to release his and colleagues’ tricycles.

It was gathered that Abdulraheem and three other riders were on June 2, 2021, hired by a man to convey bags of cement he allegedly bought from a quarry in the Mowo area of Ijebu-Awa to Ijebu-Ode.

The other three tricycle riders were identified as Olalekan Azeez, Yunus Opeloyeru and one Fatai.

Our correspondent learnt that when the owner of the quarry met the tricycle riders where they were loading the bags of cement and enquired who sent them, the man who hired them took to his heels.

Abdulraheem told PUNCH Metro that he and his colleagues were subsequently arrested and detained at the Awa Police Station.

However, when the quarry owner got to know that the riders were not the ones, who stole his cement, he told the police that he was no longer interested in pursuing the matter, but the DPO, Joshua Adewaleyinmi, allegedly asked them to bail themselves with the sum of N100,000 each.

Abdulraheem stated that after much plea from their families, the DPO collected the sum of N50,000 from each of them and insisted that they must pay another N120,000 each to collect their tricycles or they would be auctioned.

He said, “We were arrested and detained at the Awa Police Station for 11 days. While we were in the cell, one Jerry was brought to the station and he confessed to bringing the person, who stole the bags of cement, to work at the quarry.

“It was then that the owner of the quarry told the DPO that he was no longer interested in pursuing the case since he now knew who brought the person, who stole his bags of cement, and that we should be set free. Jerry was detained and released after two days.

“The DPO later called us into his office and asked us to call our family members to come and bail us with N100,000 each, but after much plea, it was reduced to N50,000 each. We all bailed ourselves with N200,000, but the DPO said we needed to bail our tricycles with another N120,000 each or they would be auctioned.

“When we couldn’t raise the money, we went to beg the DPO with N50,000, but he chased us out of his office, saying if we didn’t bring the money, we should forget about the tricycles.

“We are appealing to the state Commissioner of Police to come to our aid, because the tricycles are what we are using to feed our families and aged parents. The four of us are at home now doing nothing; we don’t have any other source of income and we are dying of hunger.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, did not take his calls and had yet to respond to a text message sent to his mobile telephone on the incident.
