Private Ruth Ogunleye, a Nigerian soldier, has been discharged from service following her public allegations of sexual harassment against senior military officers, including Colonel I.B. Abdulkareem, Colonel G.S. Ogor, and Brigadier General I.B. Solebo. Ogunleye claimed that Abdulkareem made repeated unwanted advances, forcibly evicted her from her residence, and confined her to a psychiatric facility for months after she rejected his advances.


Allegations and Investigation
Ogunleye took to social media platform TikTok to share her ordeal, sparking widespread attention and prompting an investigation by the Nigerian Army. The Army’s Director of Public Relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, stated that the investigation found no grounds to substantiate Ogunleye’s claims against Abdulkareem.

Discharge and Controversy

Despite the investigation’s findings, Ogunleye was discharged from service on medical grounds, with the Army citing a pre-existing condition that rendered her medically vulnerable. Critics argue that the discharge and alleged detention of Ogunleye, while the accused officers remain unpunished, raises concerns about the Nigerian Army’s handling of sexual harassment allegations and potential violations of human rights.

Hypo attack are not frequently in this part of the world.

oz4real83:
shut up your mouth . What did the hippo do? Why keep a wild animal at home? Why present yourself as a treat to a mother hippo, who will do just anything to protect her young? The animal deserves to live and also be left in its natural habitat.

Verydarkhearted:
I’m very sure they will use this as an excuse to kill the hippo and eat.

FG should send those arrested BH and I-pob members into the forest-side rivers, to go hunt down those very deadly Hippos
They should be a better experimental meat for those Rhinos

Very sad.
What happened to the hippo thereafter please OP? Hopefully it was killed.

Malam Usman Maigadi, a guard at Orchard Farm owned by the Emir of Yauri, Dr Muhammad Zayyanu-Abdullahi, has been killed by a mother hippopotamus, the News Agency of Nigeria, reports.

NAN gathered that the animal may have perceived the deceased as coming to harm its baby, hence the attack in self- defence.

Maiyaki, who was 60 years of age, was attacked yesterday by the animal while fishing in Yauri River at Tillo Village in Yauri Local Government of the state.

“Maigadi has been buried, according Islamic rites in Yauri, after a funeral prayer,” according to the Chairman of the Local Government, Alhaji Abubakar Shu’aibu.

Also, Governor Nasir Idris, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Ahmed Idris, condoled with Yauri Emirate and the family of the deceased.

Idris urged the emirate and members of the deceased family to take heart and accept the will of the Almighty in good faith.

Gunshots and irregularities have tainted the Kwara council elections, with voters alleging disenfranchisement by the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC). The elections have been plagued by reports of violence, intimidation, and electoral malpractices, undermining the democratic process.

 Electoral Irregularities

- Gunshots: Reports of gunfire have been confirmed in various locations, creating a tense atmosphere for voters.
- Disenfranchisement: Voters have accused KWSIEC of deliberately preventing them from exercising their right to vote.
- Irregularities: Widespread irregularities, including issues with voter registration and ballot counting, have been reported.

The allegations of disenfranchisement and electoral irregularities raise serious concerns about the credibility and fairness of the elections. The KWSIEC must address these issues to ensure the integrity of the democratic process.

This is very commendable from the army

And these same crooked Nigerians label hard and honest working citizens as lazy.

Money made via crooked means has its price. Now the crooked man must pay the price.

In a significant blow to criminal elements, Nigerian troops have recovered a substantial cache of weapons and motorcycles during a recent operation.

The seized weapons include machine guns (MGs), rifles, and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), indicating a high level of firepower. Additionally, approximately a dozen motorcycles were also recovered, suggesting a potential plan for mobile attacks.

The successful operation is a testament to the military’s efforts to curb criminal activity and ensure national security. Further details of the operation are yet to be disclosed.

NDLEA Nabs Notorious Drug Baron Behind Multiple Cocaine Shipments to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

A two-year manhunt has finally come to an end with the arrest of Alhaji Suleiman Ganiu Aremu, aka Barryshine, a wanted drug baron linked to four foiled attempts to export cocaine to Saudi Arabia and Qatar through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

Aremu, the Managing Director/CEO of Barryshine Suleiman Nigeria Ltd, was taken into custody on August 26, 2024, after a painstaking investigation by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The drug baron's name first surfaced in November 2022, when a female passenger, Alhaja Ajisegiri Kehinde Sidika, was arrested at the MMIA with 400 grams of cocaine concealed in female footwears. Further investigation revealed that Aremu had hired the drug courier through his brother, Abdullahi Olarenwaju Ramon.

Subsequent arrests and convictions of other drug mules linked to Aremu's cartel led to the eventual blocking of his bank accounts and the tracing of properties in Lagos, including two houses and a hotel.

NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), commended the officers and men of the MMIA Strategic Command for their dedication, stating that the arrest demonstrates that the long arm of the law will always catch up with those involved in the criminal trade, no matter how long it takes.

Two of Aremu's associates, Oluwafemi Akande Abidoye and Olanrewaju Abdullahi Ramon, are currently at large and have been declared wanted by the Federal High Court in Lagos.

Gombe, Nigeria – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched a probe into the activities of a suspected impostor, Solomon Yohana, who allegedly posed as a staff member of the Commission.

Yohana was apprehended on August 19, 2024, in Guyuk Local Government Area of Adamawa State by the Department of State Service (DSS) and subsequently handed over to the EFCC’s Gombe Zonal Directorate.

Upon his arrest, several incriminating items were recovered, including a fake EFCC ID card, counterfeit EFCC letterheads, a fake EFCC polo shirt, and a bogus Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SCUML) shirt.

As the investigation continues, Yohana is expected to face charges in court once the probe is concluded. The EFCC’s swift action underscores its commitment to rooting out impostors and maintaining the integrity of its operations.p

His face gives him away.

Rather than repay the trust by paying them their profits, he chose the inglorious path or repaying them with pocketing the money.

Now he will both return the money and serve a prison term.

When youths complain of bad governance, this one too will complain, even knowing that he is crooked. What a shame.

Justice A.M. Lawal of the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, has remanded Ayodele Toyosi, the CEO of Reaprite Global Limited and Agrorite Limited, in the Ikoyi Correctional facility pending the hearing of his bail application.

Toyosi is facing an 11-count charge of obtaining by false pretence and stealing to the tune of N600 million and $50,000, brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The EFCC alleges that Toyosi defrauded several individuals by promising them an interest-yielding investment in agricultural export, but instead used their funds for personal gain.

The case has been adjourned until August 21, 2024, for the hearing of Toyosi's bail application. If found guilty, Toyosi faces a lengthy prison sentence and restitution to the victims of his alleged fraud.

The EFCC's prosecution of Toyosi is part of its efforts to combat investment fraud and protect Nigerians from falling victim to such scams.
