in terms of pedigree and coverage, AIT is bigger than TVC

Hunhn! Pedigree? AIT?!

sholatech:
Congrats Bayo! You also brought focus and dynamism to your official position hitherto unknown

You're correct. Bayo Omoboriowo gives sophistication and sensation to an uncelebrated kind of all official assignments in the Presidency.

Now it's penalty.England to win on penalty.

One of the local rescuers was sadly killed. The only thing that will give joy is to have the abductors arrested or killed. But now it's only reported that "three of the abductors were also seriously injured" and the Police Commissioner said "our men are still after the kidnappers”. If the kidnappers succeeded in killing one of the rescuers and they eventually escape, then it will be really unfortunate.

Four passengers abducted by gunmen at Imesi-Ile and Esa-odo in the Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State were on Tuesday rescued by a combined team of security men.

A member of the rescue team however lost his life, while one of those rescued sustained gunshot injury in the shootout between the abductors and security men.

Recall that an unspecified number of passengers travelling in a commercial vehicle were abducted near Osun Bridge in Imesi Ile on Monday.

Also at another location in Esa Odo town on Monday, some passengers were abducted by gunmen.

It was learnt that a combined team, compromising policemen, members of Hunters Group of Nigeria, men of Kiriji Heritage Defenders and Oodua Peoples Congress, narrowed the search for the victims to a forest in Ere Ijesa and tracked them a point before Osun Bridge.

A source close to the scene said the search paid off when the man negotiating for ransom on behalf of the kidnappers was sighted by the search team, who chased him to the spot where the victims were kept.

The source further said, “Interestingly, the abductors, six of them bearing AK-47 and pump action rifles and a man that was negotiating for ransom on their behalf, kept the victims not far away from a police checkpoint.

“The negotiator was tracked down and he ran towards where the victims were kept.

“The other members of the kidnap gang then opened fire on the team and a member of OPC that was part of the rescue team was shot dead. One of those abducted also sustained injury, while three of the abductors were also seriously injured.

“All the victims are male and they have been taken to the Ibokun Police Area Command.”

The Osun State Commissioner of Police, Wale Olokode, said four of the victims were rescued.

“Unfortunately, one person, a member of OPC that was part of the rescue team was shot dead. One other person was also injured. Our men are still after the kidnappers,” Olokode said.

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, on Monday, lambasted the Department of State Services over what he described as a “nocturnal coup” carried out on the Ibadan residence of Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho, last Thursday.

“There is no law in Nigeria that allows you to arrest somebody in the dead of the night when you are not planning a coup and you are not an armed robber,” Falana said on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme monitored by The PUNCH.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that the DSS on Thursday morning around 1am invaded the residence of Igboho in a Gestapo style. Though Igboho had escaped the raid, his house and cars were riddled with bullets while bloodstains splattered over the floors of the house. The DSS also said it killed two of his associates in a gun duel. Thirteen of Igboho’s guards and close associates were later paraded in Abuja on Thursday evening.

The secret police had since declared Igboho wanted. The activist is being accused of stockpiling weapons to allegedly destabilise the country under the guise of agitation for Yoruba nation but he has since denied the allegation, saying he protects himself with charms and not weapons.

Speaking on the television programme, Falana described as late, the decision of the Southern governors in Lagos State on Monday that security agencies must notify them as the chief security officer of their states before they carry out any operation within their domain.

“It is a decision that is coming rather late. Governors are chief security officers of their states in line with the constitution. Each state has a security council and the governor is the chairman,” he said.

Continuing, the senior advocate said, “You can’t have a situation where nocturnal arrests are made in a state as if you are planning a coup. Take Ibadan for instance, the invasion of the home of Igboho happened in the night and for all-day, everybody was wondering who did and that seven people were killed. People were arrested and abducted at 2am, the governor of the state wasn’t aware. So, everybody was trying to find out, calling security agencies, only for the State Security Service to issue a very provocative statement after almost 12 hours to say, ‘We did it, we killed two people, we raided a house’. Somebody attempted to evade arrest and you killed two people? The governor of the state wasn’t aware?

“In these days of kidnappings, anybody can come to your house in the night and arrest you. And these are guys who don’t wear uniforms.”

“There is no provision, unless a crime is being committed in the night; you cannot go there and arrest. In this case, you are required by law to bring a search warrant. In this case, there was no search warrant, nobody took an inventory.

“Now, Sunday Adeyemo has said I didn’t have any gun in my house. Yet, the SSS paraded guns and other ammunition. All the controversies would have been unnecessary if the SSS had behaved like a modern, civilised agency.

“These are very dangerous legacies of military dictatorship in our country,” he stated.

I have taken the vaccine already; so, I can prove the Bishop wrong. It is not the vaccine that is deadly, it is the fear the Bishop is mongering and the ignorance of his followers that would believe him.

Oka4:
At last, Corona Virus has achieved it's aim. I've always said this, other countries are collateral damage. Dat sh*t was created for America and for this purpose alone. Watch how vaccine will be produced early next yr and Corona wipped out for good because MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Alert! Alert!! Conspiracy theorists are here again!!!!

And the these two "missing" persons don't have names? They don't have describable or known addresses, occupations, places of work and other details of identity? If they are known to you to be missing, then you should be able to know some details about them.
You may have to visit the Panel of Enquiry on Monday to give details., if they are truly missing.

You created a story with no detail and added a source that is non-existent. If this is not a fake news, then what else is it?

Kestolove:
Today edo go turn Lagos

You too funny fa!

This must be the picture of FFK after becoming a successful lawyer, not when he was still struggling. Give us the picture of when he was a poor lawyer, please!

If we want to narrow our choice down to already known persons in political sphere, there is no denying the fact that Nigeria would make the best of choices in either Tinubu or Osinbajo in 2023.

Zetty177x:
Pls don't get me wrong...all am saying is we should believe eye witnesses and photographs of the aftermath...we shouldn't be expecting life videos before we must believe..if the governor said what he said, we should give him d benefit of the doubt...not expecting a life video of his deputy chasing anyone . during Anini days, did u see videos of anini robbing the rich to give to d poor? But witnesses gave account..did u video idi-Amin throughout? Or capture Abacha with virgins and apples? Truth is, these things may have happened..video or no video..Stop waiting for videos to believe. I know Shuibu chased d criminals away, I believe Obaseki

Anini couldn't be recorded because it is a scene of robbery always happening unprepared for and mostly in the nights. Idi-Amin and Abacha did all they did in their private quarters, not on the streets. Mind you, all these people you mentioned lived in the era when there were no mobile phone cameras.

Obaseki and Shuaibu have press men officially going about with them, apart from reporters from private media houses like Channels, TVC, Punch, Vanguard and co. And these men are specially trained to do a recording of scenes even more difficult than the one presented in this report. It is a prepared campaign outing, not just an accidental event.

Apart from them, there are hundreds of citizens with mobile phones in that community. Not inside bush, it is a popular area of the public and it was all in the daylight. Many of the video clips of events like this that do go viral are recorded by ordinary citizens not connected in any way with the incidents. That's why the Governor cannot be believed on this matter.

Zetty177x:


Didn't u read that the female police officer recording the incident was attacked? What if her telephone screen got damaged as it fell down during d attack. U guys should learn to read outta d box

And only a police officer, and even a woman for that matter, get camera in a campaign convoy of a whole Governor and the Deputy Governor combined?

So a police officer's duty in the convoy of a Governor is to do video recording?! What happened to the camera of the official press crew always following the Governor and Deputy Governor around? None of them could do a video coverage, even a clip of few seconds? They get camera to do the recording of Obaseki's campaign ground only, abi?

And none of the team of armed Mobile Policemen could get just one of the purported Oshiomole's thugs arrested? It is only the Deputy Governor that got the courage to run after them? Haba!

Chimezirim121:

What is your inference now

Go back to the first comment, read along with your quoted one and then digest well. You will understand.

As holy as all the angels in heaven were, when Lucifer, one of them, turned Satan, he still had a sizable number of them declare their support for him. Imagine, that is devil o!

It isn't expected to have all members of the family opposed to him. That's practically impossible. Even if Obaseki is a devil within the family circle, he will surely have those behind him.

Rough fights! These people keep coming at Obaseki from all sides; front, back, left, right and centre, even from within PDP. They won't just allow him concentrate and have a coordinated campaign.

Is it the birth of a New Order in the Bar as against the Old Order? Time will tell.

Talking and submitting in a way typical of a Bus-Stop tout speaks a lot about the self-acclaimed cleric.

I'm pretty sure that the Panel, headed by Ayo Salami the learned and very experienced Jury himself, knows that any criminal findings and recommendations it makes without Magu the Respondent being afforded the opportunity to know the allegations against him and to defend himself will eventually end up as good as a mere wastes paper. No much effort will be needed to throw the Panel's Report to the refuse dump on ground of lack of fair hearing. Only section 36 of the Constitution is needed to do the job.

Obaseki is claiming to resist godfatherism. If he secure a second term, he will end up enthrowning cult-fatherism in place of godfatherism in Edo politics; something worse than what he purports to fight. Only confraternities keep membership and followership by force..

mamotalk:

u are benefiting your Buhari now

Did you know who I voted at all?

textilemania:



I expect Daar communication to finish Ize-Iyamu with their media houses... lol


Interesting times ahead!

The same way they 'finished' Buhari and Tinubu in 2015.
Remember the 'Lion of Bourdillon' and the 'Buhari, Show Me Your Certificate' documentaries on AIT back then? The documentaries ran for several months till 24 hours into the election. At the end, they ended up 'finishing' Buhari into Aso Rock!

asatemple:
Politics nawa oooo. Nobody is hearing about Oshomole again, naija I hail oo

You will hear about him after the election when democracy will have been in danger.

The next fake news will read 'Tinubu's bullion vans are found hidden inside Oshiomole's back pockets'!

Some section of the media is just bent on quickly cashing in on this APC matter before the sensations die down. It has been long they have had a newsworthy item of this magnitude. They will not allow it to go down until they have published everything publishable on it and made as enough cash as possible.

MadeInTokyo:


Even APC dey fear Obaseki, cos dem no know wetin be him next move tomorrow , Obaseki has vowed to quarantine anybody involved in public gathering tomorrow

As he quarantined the marmot crowd of PDP members that welcomed him during his defection at his Ward. And as he quarantined members of PDP that participated in PDP Congresses that took place at 195 wards to elect delegates for their forthcoming indirect primary where thousands will gather at just one place.

Clevite:
How old is Philip Shaibu himself that he would be presenting an award to someone in 1986. Philip himself was born in 1969 and by 1986 he was just about 17-year old teenager still in a Secondary School trying to find his feet.

According to his biography on wikipedia, Philip Shaibu had his early education at St. Augustine Primary School, Tundu Wada Kaduna but finished at L.E.A Primary School Barnawa, Kaduna State where he obtained the First School Leaving Certificate, Shaibu subsequently earned his West African Senior School Certificate in 1989 after attending Saudana Memorial Secondary School, Kawo Kaduna. Comrade Shaibu received a Bachelor of Science degree (Honours) in Accounting from the University of Jos in 2000

Politics can really make some people go to a ridiculously low level of insanity in trying to discredit their perceived political foe. This is what I have seen happen here.

Thumbs up for you, Bros! You really bursted the lie.
What I see in this picture is the story of a man who was already an achiever making a mark in the world of labour unionism to the delight of some young fellows who saw in him a role model and then came to present an award to him for being an inspiration to them.
