King Phoebe, a Nigerian content creator, actress, and influencer, began her video-making journey in school, gaining fame through social media, boosted by reposts from influencer Tunde Ednut.

She built a strong presence on TikTok and Instagram, amassing over 1.9 million TikTok followers.

President Tinubu cannot use his Veto power to override National Assembly in suspending Rivers Governor Sim Fubara, Kikio.ng can authoritatively confirm.

Tinubu's veto power applies to bills and laws ed by the National Assembly, not to procedural decisions like the suspension of a governor.

According to the 1999 Nigerian Constitution (as amended), the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, cannot use his veto power to override the suspension of democratically elected governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara.

The 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) outlines the presidential veto power under Section 58. Specifically, Section 58(4) and (5) address the president's veto power.

Section 58(4):
"Where a bill is presented to the President after being ed by the National Assembly, the President shall, within thirty days, signify that he assents to the bill or that he withholds his assent."

Section 58(5):
"Where the President withholds his assent to a bill and the bill is again ed by both Houses of the National Assembly, with a vote of not less than two-thirds of all the of each House, the bill shall become law, and the President shall not assent to the bill."

This gives the President the power to withhold assent (veto a bill) but also allows the National Assembly to override the veto with a two-thirds majority.

Rivers Crisis: AGF Fagbemi sends stern warning to Governors

https://kikio.ng/rivers-crisis-agf-fagbemi-sends-stern-warning-to-governors/

In a statement released Monday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Rwanda announced the immediate severance of diplomatic relations with Belgium.

The decision comes just one day after President Kagame accused Belgian officials and other European powers of mobilizing international sanctions against Rwanda and falsely implicating the country in the Congo conflict.

Now, what you see happening every day, the accusations they throw at us, in Kinyarwanda, we call it *gukoronga*—constant insults and attacks,” Kagame said. “They talk about the war in Congo, first making it Rwanda’s war, and then claiming that Rwanda s it.” Kagame singled out Belgium for what he called “shameless” behavior, criticizing the country for pressuring the international community to isolate Rwanda. “Belgians go to Kinshasa and point a finger towards Rwanda and say they will impose sanctions on us and also mobilise the world against Rwanda. They are shameless. Mobilising the world against Rwanda, with our small size? They should leave us alone.”

In response, Belgium’s foreign minister, Maxime Prevot, condemned the expulsion as “disproportionate” and said it signaled Kigali’s unwillingness to engage in diplomatic dialogue. “Belgium regrets the decision of Rwanda to cut off diplomatic relations with Belgium and to declare Belgium’s diplomats persona non grata,” he wrote on X. Tensions have been building over the past two weeks. On March 4, suspended financial aid to Rwanda after a United Nations report alleged that thousands of Rwandan troops were fighting alongside M23 rebels in eastern Congo. The United States and the United Kingdom had already taken similar steps by halting aid to Kigali. President Kagame’s istration has consistently denied any involvement in the conflict, rejecting claims of military to rebel groups.

With the 48-hour deadline now in effect, all European diplomats are expected to leave Rwanda by Wednesday, March 19.

To prove its case, the prosecution counsel, Albert Adeyemi, called three witnesses and tendered statements of the victim and defendant, a knife, and a cash sum of N8,000, among other exhibits.

Giving evidence during the trial, Mr Fakiyesi, a hotel manager, said that on that day, he was disturbed from his sleep by a sound in his hotel.

The hotel manager said that he woke up to see the convict trying to remove his plasma television and when he attempted to shout, the latter brought out a knife and threatened to stab him.

He said, “I later discovered that he had picked my phone and a cash sum of N8,000 I placed on the table. I held him from behind when he wanted to escape, shouted for help and he was overpowered with the assistance of others.’’

He said that the convict was thereafter handed over to the police.

The AIG of Police has promised that justice will be served after a trigger happy police officer shot and killed Ifeoluwa Adekale in Ado Ekiti, right in front of the Oke-ila police station.

She was a vibrant and hardworking young woman from Ondo State, a nursing mother.

Ifeoluwa’s life was a testament to her resilience and determination. Despite struggling to make ends meet, she worked tirelessly as a station attendant at BOVAS Petrol Station and as a hotel worker at several hotels in Ado Ekiti.

On Thursday 2nd of January 2025, Ifeoluwa was returning from where she paid for her new house rent, a significant milestone in her life.

Tragically, her life was cut short, leaving behind a young child who will grow up without a mother.

According to eyewitnesses, the yet-to-be-named police officer was said to be celebrating the promotion of one of his colleagues in the station when he triggered the rifle in his hand.

It was learnt that the deceased who was standing at a shop opposite the station was hit by the bullet and died.

A source said, ” The young woman was across the road in front of a saloon when the gun of one of the officers attached to another unit of the Ekiti State Police Command but present in the station accidentally discharged and hit her.

“She was rushed to a nearby hospital but couldn’t make it and was confirmed dead.”

When ed, the Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Adeniran Akinwale confirmed the incident to Tribune Online.

Akinwale who was recently promoted to Assistant Inspector General of Police, said the officer involved has been identified and disarmed, adding that he would be interrogated and tried in line with the regulations of the force.

According to him, ” It is a very sad and unfortunate situation a few hours into the new year and I want to encourage the family to take heart and I sympathize with them.

“But I can confirm to you that the officer involved in this unfortunate incident has been disarmed and locked up in the cell for the necessary room trial and very soon he will be prosecuted accordingly.”

The Ekiti State Police Command has confirmed that Human Right Lawyer, Dele Farotimi is in its custody.

The Command spokesman, Mr Sunday Abutu, made this known in a statement in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital yesterday night.

There have been concerns over the whereabouts of the human rights lawyer who was reportedly arrested yesterday morning.

But the Police said Farotimi is undergoing investigation following a petition filed against him for allegations of defamation and cyberbullying.

The statement reads in part, “The Ekiti State Police Command wishes to inform of the public that one Mr Dele Farotimi is undergoing investigation following a petition written against him to the Office of the Commissioner of Police, Ekiti State Command for an allegation of defamation of character and cyberbullying.

“He was arrested today in Lagos with an arrest warrant gotten from court after all means deployed by the Command to bring him for interrogation proved abortive.

“He is currently in custody and will be arraigned as soon as investigation is concluded”, it added

Earlier, in a post via X, Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 elections, said the whereabouts of Farotimi was unknown after police raided his residence in Lagos.

Sowore said the police officers seized the mobile gadgets of the family of the activist during the operation.

On Tuesday morning, Farotimi, in a statement, alleged that officers attached to the Ekiti police command have perfected plans to abduct him from Lagos.

Farotimi accused the command of deploying questionable means to lure him for arrest despite honouring the invitation of the zone 2 police headquarters in Lagos some weeks ago.

The human rights advocate said he was questioned at the zone 2 headquarters owing to a petition filed by Tony Elumelu, chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA).

The activist said the police officers from Ekiti command were acting on another petition allegedly filed by Afe Babalola, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN).

Farotimi added that his comments about Babalola were in a book published in Lagos and not Ekiti.

The suspect Oloruntola Janet 19 years explained that, she wanted to escape from home initially as a result of sexual harassment from her step father as well as other untold hardship inflicted on her by the stepfather which made her to think of relocating to a better place in search of peace of mind.

The suspect who is a 30 years old tailor, said she only wanted to render an assistance to her having noticed all the problems she was facing from home as she always cry every morning at work and complained of sexual abuse from the step father.
