Nigerians have come for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over his loud silence on the gruesome murder of Deborah Samuel, a Christian female student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Wamako, IDOMA VOICE reports.

Deborah, a 200 level Home-Economics student accused of blasphemy, had complained bitterly over the influx of religious broadcast messages shared to her department’s WhatsApp page, DOMA VOICE reports.

“Holy ghost fire, nothing would happen to me. Is it by force you guys keep sending these religious messages in our group? Our group wasn’t created for that, but rather as a notice for when there’s a test, assignment, examinations, etc. Not these nonsense religious posts,” Ms Samuels had said in a voice note on her department’s WhatsApp heard by IDOMA VOICE.

Nigerians, irrespective of religion have been condemning the dastardly act and called for the immediate arrest of the perpetrators.

However, President Buhari and his deputy, Yemi Osinbajo have refrained from condemning the incident.

Osinbajo, a pastor, is running for the seat of the president in the 2023 general elections.

However, his silence, according to Nigerians is no longer golden, considering the fact that his sister in faith has been gruesomely murdered.

The presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church, popularly known as Winners Chapel, worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said he will not be contesting for the presidency in the 2023 elections.

According to him, although he believes in Nigeria, it’s too late for him to contest the highest political position in the nation.

Oyedepo said vying to be Nigeria’s president is a demotion to him, adding that he’s called for a global impact.

He said this during a leadership summit transmitted worldwide.

Oyedepo said, “I believe in Nigeria and that’s why I am still here, and still praying for Nigeria. But I consider it a demotion if I am invited to become the president of Nigeria. I am called for a global impact. I saw this in 1984. Even the devil knows that you can’t be genuinely sold-out to serving God, and not stand out in life.”

A number of pastors have come out to obtain presidential nomination forms in a bid to become the country’s number one citizen – notable among them are Pastor Tunde Bakare, and current Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo who is a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)

The General Overseer of Champions Royal Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla, has said the Southeast should be allowed to produce Nigeria's next President in 2023.

Iginla said the next president should come from the Southeast if Nigeria wants peace.

Addressing his members in Abuja, the clergyman explained that the agitations coming from the South East is due to marginalization.

Iginla also noted that not everyone vying for the presidency carries the light for Nigeria.

According to Iginla, electorates have also been blindfolded by money that can deceive the nation from picking true leaders.

Benue State Governor, Dr. Samuel Ortom, has described as intolerable, murder of the Benue born Youth Corps member, Stephanie Se-Ember Terungwa, who was posted to Abuja by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for her one year mandatory national service.

Terungwa, a graduate of Microbiology from the Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi, Benue State, was reportedly kidnapped alongside her one-year-old baby in the Lokogoma area of Abuja, some weeks ago and had been declared missing.

However, the baby was later found but the mother was still missing until the NYSC confirmed her death on Thursday, through its Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa.

The corpse was said to be found wearing the NYSC khaki trouser with the face defaced beyond recognition and some parts of her body were tempered with. The security agencies subsequently identified the body as that of the missing Terungwa with State Code Number FC/21B/5807.

Governor Ortom while reacting, said Terungwa's death was one too many, calling on the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, to do all within his powers to fish out the perpetrators of the dastardly act.

"Just 6 months ago, the Vanguard newspaper's correspondent, Tordue Salem went missing in same manner in Abuja and was later found death. Up till now, no headway on the investigation.

"This death of Stephanie Terungwa should not go in same vein. The Inspector General of Police and other relevant security agencies should intensify efforts to fish out those behind these acts.

"This is one death too many for us and we shall not take this lightly. Our innocent farmers are not safe back home and their children whom they labour to train in school are being murdered in reckless manners, while in their places of service to the nation. The security must work with the management of NYSC to get to the roots of this", Ortom said.

A statement issued on Friday by the Ministry’s spokesperson, Olujimi Oyetomi, said the minister demanded that adequate punishment be meted on the suspect to serve as a lesson for men who are in the habit of constantly assaulting women.

Mrs. Tallen also stated that she would be enlisting the support of the Governor of Abia state as well as the representatives of the constituency where the late Osinachi hails from, and the assistance of the governor of Enugu state and his wife to give psycho-social support to the children.

The four children of the deceased singer are on second term holiday from their school in Abuja and may be relocating to Enugu to join their grandmother until the present travail is sorted.

Responding, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, ordered that the suspect be brought in and paraded before the minister, children and others to assure that he was still in the custody of the police.

The visiting family members include the twin sister of the late Osinachi, Eze Grace Amarachi, the brother, the late singer’s children (Three boys and a girl) as well as two other females which include Deborah Rukop who was simply described as a close friend to the family.

A spokesman for the group, Mayor Samuel, who is also the convener of the Youth Compatriots of Nigeria said they were deceived and brainwashed by those who claimed they could do it in 2015.

However, after chanting and screaming his name for minutes, Jonathan came out to receive protesters

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have raided and sealed Diplomatic Suite Hotel, Asokoro, Abuja in a joint operation with men of the Department of State Services, DSS, to stop a cannabis party and the launch of a suspected new psychoactive drink known as Dead Man's Fingers.

About 200 attendees including three young ladies who organised the hemp party are currently being profiled and interviewed while bottles of the new drink have been taken for lab analysis.

The hotel was raided at about 8:18pm on Wednesday 20th April following actionable intelligence that some youths were planning to hold a hemp party at the hotel.

Quantities of cannabis sativa were recovered from the pockets and bags of those arrested at the hemp party.

Confirming the development, Femi Babafemi Director, Media & Advocacy, NDLEA Headquarters, Abuja, said the audacious party no doubt is part of attempts by some elements to create a drug subculture in the Nigerian social space.

He said the NDLEA will however continue to work with other security agencies and relevant stakeholders to ensure abuse of illicit substances is not allowed to get entrenched in the country under any guise.

The cleric said it was obvious that the talented singer was killed.

Addressing men on Sunday, the outspoken preacher warned men against treating their wives with iron hands.

She also blamed the late Osinachi for stopping her friends from telling the Senior Pastor of Dunamis church, Dr Paul Enenche.

According to her, the lady committed suicide.

“A man beat you once, you keep quiet, he will beat you again. God forbid you stay here (Family Worship) and be beaten to death in the name of ‘for better for worse.’

“Like this woman (Osinachi) told everybody and asked them not to tell anybody. I doubt even if they told the pastor.”

She advised women who are going through physical assaults in their husband’s house to leave without delay.

Speaking on Friday at the funeral of the cleric at the National Stadium, Lagos, Adeboye said the last time he saw Dr. Ezekiel, it was obvious his friend was ready to go.

“I knew he was going. How did I know? The last time I visited my friend, I greeted him, my friend, good morning. He replied, good morning sir. How are you today? No answer. Is there anything you want me to pray for? No answer. For the period I spent there, he didn't say a word. At one point, he held my hand, as if to say, can you hear what I am hearing? Can you see what I am seeing? It took him time to let go of my hand.

“Don’t cry for him. He is already in heaven. Cry for yourself if you have not made your way right before God,” he said.

Contrary to the recent assurance by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Mohammed Bello, that the 13.25-kilometre Apo-Karshi road will be completed and opened for public use before the beginning of this year’s rainy season, IDOMA VOICE can report that this projection is not feasible.

This was observed during a recent trip to the project site by IDOMA VOICE team.
Recall that the minister had last February, while fielding questions from State House reporters after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, claimed that the project would be ready before the rains come.

He said: “The Karshi-Apo road is a project that should have been delivered by now.
“One of the main challenges faced in that road has to do with an error in the design whereby, a huge rock outcrop on the alignment of the road corridor became very difficult to be able to arrange.



“But we are very happy to say that it is now almost taken care of.
However, our reporters observed during a recent trip to the area that the project is just 15% done and cannot meet up with minister’s projection.
A 15-minute ride (on motorcycle) from Karshi to the foot of the Ligbo Mountain showed that nothing much had been done on the single-lane road.
At the moment, the contractors are battling to humble the mountain which separates Karshi and Apo communities.

This would take then more than a month to level.
Some of the site workers who spoke to IDOMA VOICE said the minister has not been to the site and cannot claim the road would be opened before the rains come.
“I read in the news too and I was wondering which Apo-Karshi road he was talking about. Definitely not this one. I have not seen him here since this year I wonder how he came about his projection that the road is almost road.

“I can tell you that it would take us more than a month to level this rocky mountain. We dey here,” the worker who would not want his name mentioned said.
The road, whose contract was first awarded in 2011 to Kakatar Engineering Limited, a company owned by Azibaola Robert, a cousin of former President Goodluck Jonathan, was designed to ease the gridlock at the AYA-Nyanya-Mararaba section of the Abuja-Keffi road that links the Abuja metropolis with some densely populated satellite towns including Karshi, and neighbouring Nasarawa State.

The award of the contract by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) in 2011 was for a sum of N6.4 billion (N6,355,609,124.53).

The scope of the contract was to include site clearance and earthworks; construction of culverts (pipe and box) of various sizes; drainages; construction of two bridges of 3-span (45m) and 5-span (75m); rehabilitation of one bridge; as well as pavement and surfacing.
