A former governor of Osun State, *Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola* has called for calm in the state following the tension generated by reports that ex-Governor Rauf Aregbesola plans to hold a political programme parallel to the incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola's second anniversary celebrations on Friday, 27 November, 2020. Prince Oyinlola, in a statement on Wednesday said he noted Aregbesola's explanation that he was coming to the state to engage with the people on the EndSARS crisis as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari but advised that the Interior Minister could do that on another day. "It is necessary that I put my own experience on record. I took over from Chief Bisi Akande in May 2003 and, I can say that throughout my almost eight years in government, and despite our political differences, Akande never gave me any problem. It is common knowledge that Mr Aregbesola took over from me, and, despite the circumstances of his coming to that office, I did not do anything to undermine his authority throughout his eight years in government. That is the spirit with which I appeal that the Interior Minister (Aregbesola) avoid doing anything that will suggest a plan to make the state ungovernable for Mr Oyetola. "As a former governor of that state, I plead that we give peace a chance. The state has witnessed enough unnecessary crises in recent weeks coupled with the Coronavirus pandemic which has upended people's economy and general wellbeing. Our people are suffering; they deserve a respite from all forms of crises as they struggle to make ends meet. "All of us former governors, as leaders of our people, we all have a stake in making Osun State to work for the good of our people who have had to deal with one hardship or the other. We will be seen as doing that when we avoid making the job of the incumbent governor difficult for him. May God help our state and its people in this difficult time," Prince Oyinlola said. He also counseled Governor Oyetola to, at all times, let the welfare and wellbeing of the people remain his priority as he crosses over to the second half of his term. https://www.yeaemedia.com/oyetola-aregbesola-feud-oyinlola-calls-for-calm-in-osun/

Prosecutors in Tarrant County have charged four people, including a former prison guard, in an alleged scheme to con elderly victims out of millions of dollars and launder the money to ringleaders in Africa. One of the suspects was stopped at DFW International Airport last month as he planned to board a plane for Nigeria with wads of cash, according to court documents. Investigators obtained a photo from his email showing hundred-dollar bills concealed in socks and other clothing, they said. Elderly victims across the country were targeted in various scams, including widowers who were seeking relationships on online dating sites, prosecutors said. Police in Colleyville led the investigation with help from the Texas Department of Public Safety, the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Postal Inspectors, prosecutors said. The probe started after FedEx in Grand Prairie alerted detectives about suspicious shipments of cash, according to search warrants reviewed by NBC 5. The suspects are charged with engaging in organized crime and theft. One of them, Olusegun Odunwole, 33, was employed for five years as a prison guard by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He resigned after he was charged last year, the agency said. More charges are possible, assistant Tarrant County district attorney Lori Varnell said. Odunwole’s attorney, Samuel R. Terry, did not respond to a request for comment. An attorney for another defendant, Saheed-Olukayode Akinyemi, 31, said prosecutors haven’t proven anything yet. “Certainly my client is presumed to be innocent as it stands right now and we look forward to seeing what evidence the state believes it has and addressing them in court,” said attorney, Benson Varghese. Dominick Marsala, an attorney for Ifeanyichukwu-Festus Obi, 40, emailed a short statement. “While targeting elderly people for any nefarious purpose is obviously egregious, under the laws of our country, my client has the presumption of innocence,” he said. Wes Ball, an attorney for Obianuju Orakposim, 40, said his client may be a victim of the scheme. “She may have been a victim of these scam artists and got sucked into this thing,” Ball said. “It remains to be seen how this shakes out. She has the presumption of innocence.” https://www.yeaemedia.com/four-nigerians-charged-in-scam-scheme-targeting-elderly-in-united-states/

According to reports, some young men in Takoradi, Ghana gave an energy drink to the thief so he can regain himself to receive another round of beating. An eyewitness who shared the story online said the hoodlum was caught right in the act of stealing.

According to Bakare, the intervention of Governor Oyetola led to the death of two protesters, Lateef Mutiu aka Fresh and Halimi Ahmed Olamilekan. He alleged that Oyetola bribed two families of the deceased with N500,000 (less than $1,400/£1,200) each. ‘Mr Mutiu Lateef and Ahmed Olamilekan are among the peaceful protesters who were shot multiple times at the back and other places that clearly suggest they were running for their lives and they were never a threat to the killer, but unfortunately both of them could not survive the gruesome attack and died painfully. “The incessant attacks on critics and peaceful agitators, the gross violation of human rights, and the undemocratic and violent tendencies of the desperate Gboyega Oyetola- led istration to repress dissidents should not be overlooked and left unchecked. “We hereby humbly request for the immediate Visa ban on the governor of Osun State Alh. Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola, as a way to curb his despotic and tyrannical style of leadership, overmilitarising the state through excessive use of force and abuse of power,” he added. https://www.yeaemedia.com/uk-us-canada-urged-to-place-visa-ban-on-osun-gov/
