‘It is only after President Buhari leaves office that the truth about what happened at the Lekki Toll gate will be exposed’- FFK

By

October 26, 2020

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has asserted that the truth behind the Lekki toll gate shooting will only be exposed after President Buhari leaves office.

He said this in a tweet while reacting to the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, who discovered a camera at the toll gate.

The lawyer further added that Fashola can play detective all he wants, but when the truth is out, every single person behind the mass shooting will suffer the consequences.

His tweet reads,

Why would a Minister remove a camera from the crime scene of the biggest mass murder in our history?If the camera was planted by Govt. they will show us what they want us to see. If the camera was not planted &provides evidence of genocide it will be doctored or destroyed &..

The deep state is at work here but we cannot be fooled. It is only after PMB leaves office that the truth about what happened at the Lekki Toll gate will be exposed. After that he &all those that were involved will be bundled to the ICC at the Hague for crimes against humanity.

You can play Sherlock Holmes and Jack Baur today but tomorrow you will smell the shit! Every single one of you that had a hand in that heinous crime will suffer the consequences and be brought to justice.

Why would a Minister remove a camera from the crime scene of the biggest mass murder in our history?If the camera was planted by Govt. they will show us what they want us to see. If the camera was not planted &provides evidence of genocide it will be doctored or destroyed &..1/2

October 26, 2020

The staff of office of Lagos monarch, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, which was stolen after some suspected hoodlums invaded the Palace of Oba of Lagos, has been reportedly returned.

According to reports, the staff was placed by the wall and was found inside a room scattered with papers which was destroyed by the hoodlums.

Meanwhile few days ago, in a released statement the Lagos state traditional ruling house gave a 24-hour ultimatum to anyone who is with the staff of the office of the Oba of Lagos to return it or risk a spell being cast on him or her.

The statement read in part,

“The acts of these elements are sacrilegious, taboo and abomination to the Yoruba race. These nefarious misfits’ conducts could lead to mayhem in the land if not timely checked and tranquility restored.

“We hereby call on the paramount Apena of Oshugbo, Opa, Akala and other traditional heads and custodians to immediately secure the Oba’s palace from further attack(s) in order to save the face of our traditional stool.

“The royal house, however called for the return of the stolen staff of authority to be deposited at the Apena of Lagos within 24 hours or the deviants will face the consequences of their action. A word is enough for the wise”.

Although the whereabouts of Oba Akiolu is currently unknown, the staff of office is reportedly back to the palace.

Popular Nigerian Blogger, Linda Ikeji has announced plans to support female entrepreneurs whose businesses were vandalized and looted by hoodlums.

The Billionaire entrepreneur said she loves seeing women excelling in business and it breaks her heart to see them lost everything overnight, hence, the move to empower small scale businesses.

She has called on the affected parties to send an email with proof of what was destroyed and the monetary value of what was lost.

Her post reads,

The events of the last few days has left me really sad and horrified. But Nigeria is our country, It’s the only home we have, so we have to make it work. We all have to do our parts.
.
And here’s my part! You’ll know I’m big on female entrepreneurship and women being financially independent, so it breaks my heart to see women who have strived for years to stay afloat lose their businesses overnight. Not fair! So If you’re a female entrepreneur residing in Lagos and your business was destroyed or looted and you need help to get back on your feet, pls send me an email [email protected].
.
I’m focusing on women with small scale businesses who lost their sources of livelihood. I’d like to help some of you get back on your feet and see if I can get some of my rich friends to also help. Covid-19 already made life difficult for some of us, the events of the last few days will make life unbearable and we can’t just sit back and do nothing.
.
I’d like to help some of you restart your businesses so if you were affected, send me an email ASAP with proof of what was destroyed (videos and photos) and also value of what you lost so we have an idea of how much to help with.
.
I have already set up a team to crosscheck all claims as we receive your emails. Once we confirm you’re truly a victim, I will do what I can and get others to also help. We are all in this together. We have to be our brothers keepers.
.
Anybody who wants to help can also contact me. We will all be helping these business owners directly after we compile a verified list. Nobody is collecting money on behalf of anybody.
.
Nigeria will not fail. God bless everyone ?
.
P.S: when all these dies down and it’s safe to move around, I and a few other female entrepreneurs will pay visits to women who lost their businesses.. and give hugs…among other things! ?. #womensupportingwomen #unitedwestand

10-year-old boy allegedly starved, tortured, shackled by his father and stepmother in Akwa Ibom for being ”possessed by demons”

By

October 26, 2020

A 10-year-old old boy has been rescued in in Ikot Udota, Eket, Akwa Ibom State by the Child’s and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) after he was allegedly brutalised and shackled by his father and stepmother.

According to the head of the NGO, Sam Ikpe Utauma, the victim, Ekemini was constantly tortured, starved and subjected to various inhuman treatment by the father and his wife.

He said the abuse had been going on for eighteen months, however, his situation took a turn for the worse eight months ago, when the father began to shackle and leave him in the backyard overnight, without clothes, claiming that the boy is possessed by demons.

It was gathered that the father was arrested following a tip off by a concerned CRARN volunteer. The man was later bailed out by members of the commununity and allegedly boasted that he has the right to treat his son however he likes.

While condemning the brutality, Mr Utauma added that the organisation will be following up with the situation to ensure that the child is safe and out of harm’s way. See his post below:

“The Child’s and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) is working with the police in Eket to unravel the probable cause of a father frequently tying up and manhandling his ten year old son in Ikot Udota, Eket, Akwa Ibom State.

“Little Ekemini has had a rough time with his father and stepmother in the family home for the past eighteen months. His situation took a turn for the worst the last eight months when his father began to tie and shackle him then drop him in the backyard sometime without food, persistent beatings and viciously manhandling him.

“His appalling condition caught the attention of a CRARN volunteer through a tip-off, and the police was alerted which led to the father’s arrest, unshackling and rescue of the young lad.

“The members of the community quickly rushed and bailed out the man who didn’t deny his act of brutality on his child but merely boasted that he has the right to treat his child as his he wished.

“Ekemini has complained bitterly about the unrelenting abuse and battering he endures in his family and says he fears for his life.

“I’m concerned that they’ll one day do away with me and nobody will know. Just the way they have been torturing me for a long time, and calling me all kinds of demonic names without help coming from anyone.” The young lad had told the police.

“While condemning this reprehensible act of brutality against this child, we will be following up with the situation to ensure that the child is safe and out of harm’s way.”

He said;

“It was a soldier that shot me at Lekki. I was rejected from different hospitals before I got admitted here and my life was saved.

“They didn’t collect money to treat me; neither do they know my people.

“I was taken to the theatre so that they could bring the blood that is in my chest out, and that is what is passing through this pipe.

“I thought I had died, because my blood was just gushing out like pump. I never knew I would still be alive. We thank God for this hospital. Glory be to God.”

“No state has hoarded COVID-19 palliatives” – Governors explains

By

-

October 26, 2020

The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has debunked claims that governors hoarded palliatives, that were meant to be distributed to Nigerians during the COVID-19 lockdown in the country.

This is coming after several warehouses filled with palliatives have been discovered and food items looted in different states.

The NGF has now issued an official statement to refute the claims.

In the statement released on Monday, by the NGF head of media and public affairs, Abudulrazaque Bello-Barkindo, the allegations were tagged “inaccurate, entirely erroneous, untrue and also mischievous”.

It was stated that until mid-October, about 10 states had not begun the distribution of palliatives in their states because the relief materials had not been completely received from the private sector coalition against COVID-19 (CACOVID).

The governors further explained that some states still had the palliatives in their warehouses as a reserve ahead of a projected second wave of the coronavirus.

The statement reads,

“The NGF regrets the loss of lives and property occasioned by the violent protests that erupted, and calls for calm.

“The NGF reemphasizes and corrects the impression that palliatives found in warehouses that were broken into in Lagos and some other states were kept in storage for members of the society, especially our vulnerable citizens.

“The erroneous impression in the public domain that these palliatives were hoarded is not just inaccurate, entirely erroneous and untrue but also mischievous, to say the least.”

For the avoidance of doubt, some of the palliatives had the CACOVID stamp embossed on them, meaning that their source is unambiguous.

“As we know, CACOVID operations are mainly domiciled in Lagos, being the headquarters of most of the public-spirited organisations, corporate bodies and individuals that came together to form the Coalition Against COVID-19 -CACOVID.

“Until mid-October, when the NGF had its last meeting, up to ten states had not participated in the flag-off ceremonies for the distribution of palliatives in their states. This was because the items meant for distribution in these states had not been completely received from CACOVID.

“Some other states that still had palliatives in their warehouses chose to keep a strategic reserve ahead of a projected second wave of COVID-19.

As of a couple of weeks ago, some states were still receiving palliatives from the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

“The NGF wishes to state categorically that no State has been involved in or has hoarded any palliatives.

It assured all contributors to the palliatives that prior to the looting of these warehouses, states had kept full accounts of all the items received and distributed.

The public should check their facts and be careful not to damage ourselves by pushing the wrong narrative.

“The State Governors are doing their very best under the circumstances to ameliorate the needs of the teeming population.

“The Nigeria Governors’ Forum stands for justice, improved governance and a progressive Nigeria”.

25 of the 1900 escaped prisoners, return to prison in Edo State

By

-

October 26, 2020

25 inmates out of the 1,900 that escaped from Oko and Sapele Road Correctional Centers in Benin City, Edo State last Monday have voluntarily surrendered themselves to the authorities.

Recall that executive governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, recently extended the ultimatum issued to inmates, who escaped from the Benin Medium Security Correctional Centre and Oko Medium Security Correctional Centre to return to the prison by one week till Friday, October 30, 2020.

Godwin Obaseki who had initially given the fleeing inmates until Friday, October 23rd, to return, has now extended it to Friday, October 30th, 2020.

However, twenty-five of the fleeing inmates have heeded warning and surrendered themselves to the authority before the ultimatum elapses.

Nigerian Tribune reports that one of the inmates, who gave his name as Alex Ose, 40, a taxi driver, from Esan, Edo State said that he has been awaiting trial since 2014 when he was arrested for armed robbery in the Edo State.

Ose stated that he decided to heed the call of Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki and surrender himself because he is innocent of the charges against him and was sure the court will vindicate him.

A source at Sapele Road Correctional Centre disclosed that the Department of State Security (DSS), the police and officials of the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCS) will soon commence a massive manhunt for the runaway inmates once Governor Obaseki one week grace for them to return elapses.

Turn back family members who bring home looted items – Buhari condemns looting amid #EndSARS protest

By

-

October 26, 2020

President Buhari has condemned the widespread looting and vandalism which has been witnessed in some cities across the country.

In a statement released by his media aide Garba Shehu, President Buhari stated that families must turn back children who bring home unaccounted goods, in the same way wives must ask their husbands to return looted items brought home.

It was also gathered that the President has urged the police and other security agencies to restore calm and normalcy as quickly as possible.

The statement read;

“President Buhari said while his administration is working hard through many pragmatic ways to reduce the hardship of the millions of our unemployed, poor citizens and those whose lives have been thrown into disarray by the harsh economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, he warned that resort to widespread attacks and the organised looting and plundering of public and private property in many states are inimical to public good and stand condemned.

“A government that has launched a massive crackdown on corruption, brought in strong laws for a decisive battle against corruption, pursues loot recovery at home and abroad, and taken strong decisions against those who thought they were above the law, will not fold its arms when an otherwise legitimate and peaceful protest is turning into free-for-all vandalism and looting.

“While the administration has, for its part, blocked so many means of looting public money in a war against corruption, it is the expectation that all civil authorities, community and religious leaders in the country must rise against the organised looting and plunder we are witnessing in parts of the country.

“Families must turn back children who bring home unaccounted goods, in the same way wives must ask their husbands to return looted items brought home.

“What is more, is that criminal actions as we have so far witnessed can weaken and erode the confidence of our people and that of foreign businesses in investing in the economy

“Looting and vandalism will hurt trade and investment growth in our country, both large and small industries, as well as our hardworking people in the informal sectors of the economy.

“These incidents do not reflect well on any society. They are wrong and condemnable and should not be supported by reasonable members of the society.

“In line with this, President Buhari commends the decision of the Lagos State Ministry of Justice to prosecute 229 suspects arrested by the police for allegedly using the #EndSARS protest to destroy and loot public and private property.

“As mentioned in two successive statements on the issues, the President and his administration have taken note of the grievances of the people. “We have heard you loud and clear,” he said, and has shown a clear determination to take all necessary measures to address the complaints

“Nevertheless, the violence must stop. President Buhari also condemned hate messages and eviction notices to ethnic and religious groups asking Nigerians to take pride in the fact that our diverse people have been living with one another in harmony for ages.

“The right of all citizens to live and work in any part of the country is a constitutional right and will be defended by the government.”

#EndSARS: “Future proceeds from Lekki Tollgate should go to victims of police brutality” – Bola Tinubu

By

-

October 26, 2020

The national Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proposed that revenues generated from the Lekki Toll Gate when it is reopened, should be given to victims of the attack by soldiers and victims of police brutality in Nigeria.

In a statement released on Sunday, October 25, the self acclaimed jagaban of Lagos, denied claims of having a financial stake in the tollgates.

The statement reads,

“Today, I speak to those who believe in the importance of, and want to know, the truth. The slander aimed at me is based on the untruth that I own the toll gate concession. The hate mongers prevaricate that I ordered the Lekki assault because the protests had caused me to lose money due to the interruption of toll gate activity.

“The toll gate is a public asset. Given what has happened, I would like to propose to government that the toll gate be left closed for an indefinite period. If it is reopened, revenues should be donated to the confirmed victims of the Lekki attack as well as to other identifiable victims of police brutality in Lagos.

Let government use the money to compensate and take care of those who have lost life or limb in the struggle for all citizens to go about the quiet, peaceful enjoyment of life without fear of undue harassment at this or that checkpoint”.

“Although equipped with prior notice of the imminent trespass, I did not call anyone to seek or request for the army or police to deploy let alone attack, kill, or injure those who razed and vandalized these properties.

“I did not want any bloodshed. These elements, mostly hirelings of my political opponents, wreaked their havoc and destroyed those buildings and facilities and I thank God that the employees of these two media institutions managed to escape largely unharmed.

“Why would I be so moved as to instigate the army to attack peaceful, law-abiding people at the toll gate where I have no pecuniary stake, yet lift not a single finger to stop hired miscreants bent on setting fire to these important media investments?”

Oyedepo also prophesied that the sponsors of the unrest shall be duly punished and peace that passes all understanding shall be restored to Nigeria.

He said,

“The sources of agitation will be wisely dealt with and favourably dealt with; the land shall rest again in the name of Jesus Christ.

“All the hoodlums who are taking advantage of this season, let hand be joined in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished.

“CAUTION! You don’t have a double life, you have only one, you don’t have a spare. Caution! I bind all activities of the devil behind every form of unrest being inflicted by hoodlums in the name of Jesus,” the Bishop prayed.

“Killings shall be mentioned no more. The name of the Lord shall remain glorified in the name of Jesus Christ.” He added.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,(A)
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;(
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.

SAY AFTER ME “THE SOVEREIGN LORD IS MY STRENGTH “
