Ossai Success, an aide to Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has stated that the fast-rising singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, should be taken to an alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre.

This was in connection to a video clip circulating on social media, where the singer was presumed to have organised some youths to beat up a young man.

In the video seen by our correspondent, the Zazzu crooner was seen asking some youths to beat up a man, whom he accused the man of messaging his wife.

Reacting to the video, the Special Assistant on Media to the Governor took to his verified Facebook page on Monday to call for the singer’s rehabilitation.

Success wrote, “Take Portable to alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre. As a young boy, I love Zazu singer Portable’s zeal for defeating poverty but the truth must be told.

“There are a lot of misbehaviours in him that are associated with too much alcohol and drugs. This young boy needs to be taken care of before he gets himself damaged all in the name of fame.

“Someone close to him should as a matter of urgency take Portable to an alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre. Don’t say his character is what is giving him fame because this is how some people started having kidney problems or musical careers started dying while people were busy hailing them.

“I need him to be better in doing his things and that is why I am so concerned about his well-being. He needs urgent attention.”

This comes shortly after the Ogun State Police Command, on Monday, ordered Portable to report himself at the nearest police station.

In a statement issued by the command’s Spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, it was said that the incident in the viral video happened somewhere within the state about three days ago.

Kidnappers have released a former Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Sani Toro, former Assistant Coach of the Nigeria Super Eagles, Garba Yila, and one of their friends, Alhaji Isa Jah, from captivity.

The PUNCH had reported that Toro, Yila and their friend were kidnapped at a village around Akwanga in Nasarawa State.

They left Abuja at about 5.00pm on Saturday after attending the wedding of the son of a former NFF President, Aminu Maigari, and were kidnapped at about 7.30pm.

A family source had told our correspondent on Sunday that the kidnappers had ed their host, Maigari, and demanded the sum of N150 million before releasing them.

However, they were said to have regained freedom at about 5.00am on Tuesday. This is after spending over 60 hours in captivity.

It was unclear as of the time of filing this report if any ransom was paid before their release or not.

A family source confirmed their release to our Correspondent simply saying, “Yes, it’s true. They were released this morning after the morning prayers at about 5.00 am. And they are all in good health condition.”

The Bauchi State Police Command also confirmed their release.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Ahmed Wakil, a Superintendent of Police said, “They were released this morning.”

When asked to give further details, he simply said, “That’s all I can confirm to you.”

Tmberwolf1:

It's not even the taking our jobs part that pains me, it's the fact that they still treat us like slaves even in our own land!!

It's so annoying. Our leaders and the elites are our problem in this nation. That's why we need to get it right in 2023 else, struggle continues

This is the type of leader we need in the whole of Africa, particularly, Nigeria. So many Asians taking up our jobs in the name of expertrate, something not obtainable elsewhere

President of Rwanda Major General Paul Kagame has reportedly ordered for the immediate deportation of 18 Chinese nationals who are said to investors who were allegedly mistreating their Rwandan employees.

Kagame, well known for his uncompromising stand on a number of socio-political issues, came down hard on the so-called investors as he booted them out of the country.

“The 18 investors were found guilty of mistreating Rwandan workers and grabbing land on which they operated their business,” Kagame reportedly said as he gave the deportation order.

“Chinese investors exploited Rwandan people and also took advantage of them by making them work abnormal hours like slaves. Africa is for Africans. We can't be slaves in Africa. We don't tolerate the nonsense of discrimination here," Kagame added.

China and Rwanda have strong bilateral ties which are inextricably linked to the shared benefits of trade, aid and investments between the two countries.

According to data released by the Rwanda Development Board, 24 more companies from China were ed in Rwanda in 2020, bringing in investments totaling 300 million U.S. dollars. These investments are in the sectors of construction and real estate, mining, ICT, manufacturing and hospitality.

However, according to our sources, Kagame is a patriotic leader who refuses to allow such relations to cloud his judgment.

"Rwanda is for Africans and those who mean well for us. I am directing the 18 Chinese investors to leave Rwanda immediately and must never return back. Rwandan people must enjoy their rights in their country. Let this be a lesson to the remaining Chinese investors," Kagame warned.

The alleged mistreatment of Rwandans by Chinese investors will probably take a downward turn thanks to this deportation order, and the potential for more of the same.

As the national convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is underway, former Senate President, Ken Nnamani and two other presidential aspirants have stepped down for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

APC chieftain and Chairman, Senate Committee on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Kabiru Gaya, disclosed this while briefing Channels Television on Tuesday in Abuja.

Although he didn’t mention who the other aspirants are, there are speculations that they are ex-Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosun, and a Deputy Majority Leader of the Senate, Ajayi Boroffice.

Noting that the ruling party has decided to zone the presidential slot to the South-West region, he stated that the aspirants are expected to address the delegates shortly.

“We have Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Bola Tinubu; it comes down to the South-West. I’m aware that a few aspirants have stepped down for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. They are Ken Nnamani and two others. I think that will be announced later,” he stated.

“Whatever the number the party decides;  it is up for because the people need to come and address the party and tell them if they are stepping down, why are they stepping down, and for who. If they are not stepping down, let them tell Nigerians what they intend to do to improve the situation in the governance of Nigeria.”

The Chairman, Senate committee on INEC, Kabiru Gaya, briefs Channels Television on the update of the APC National Convention in Abuja on June 7, 2022.

 

According to Gaya, the APC took its decision to give its presidential ticket to the southern region in the spirit of equity and justice.

He believes that the ruling party has sent a signal to Nigerians that it is not a regional or sectional association but one that is meant for all the masses.

“In principle, we have President Buhari from northern Nigeria that is serving seven years going to eight years; I think naturally, the power should shift to the south. That is what we have been talking about for over two years. I believe that Nigerians will believe that APC is the party for all. It is not a sectional or regional party.

“In any decision you take, it has merits and demerits. When the merits are more, then you say ‘we’, that is the majority. So, the majority of Nigerians accept that let the leadership of the presidency of APC or Nigeria go to the south and we all agreed to that,” the lawmaker said

The number of aspirants has been trimmed to only Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Bola Tinubu, says Senator Kabiru Gaya.

My heart goes out to everyone who has suffered from this gruesome attack.

I am unable to grasp the evil that motivates one human being to deliberately take the life of another.

Every soul counts before God, and I know that He is greatly displeased with this wickedness.

I pray that God comforts the loved ones of the departed, and the people of Ondo at large.

May we never have cause to send such greetings again.
And may Nigeria never know such bloodshed again.

Bolt will ask their drivers for every single form of ID in this country, from BVN to National ID, driver’s license, port photograph. But to be a enger/rider all you need is just a SIM card.

So many drivers have been killed because of this lapses.

It is this path that annoys me the most. Why can't they profile riders?

There is nothing to lie for my bro. I have lived in Lagos West all my life. I know this man since he was in the HOA
