The Deputy Senate
President, Ike Ekweremadu, on Thursday said the Boko Haram insurgency had
worsened under President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ekweremadu said
the former President Goodluck Jonathan administration had almost rolled back
Boko Haram and its activities in the North-East.
The deputy senate
president also expressed the fear the insurgents could also attack Abuja and
the southern part of the country soon.
Speaking to
journalists in Abuja, he chose not to answer questions on his alleged
involvement in the forgery of senate rules but said he had been worried about
the renewed attacks by Boko Haram.
He said, “I am
worried about the resurgence of Boko Haram activities in Nigeria. Shortly
before the inauguration of the present government, the country had almost
rolled back Boko Haram and its activities in every part of Nigeria – from
Adamawa to Borno to Yobe.
The Rivers State
Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja on Thursday reaffirmed
its ex parte order made on June 11, 2015, granting permission to the All
Progressives Congress and its candidate in the April 11, 2015 governorship
election in the state, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, to inspect the electoral materials
used for the poll.
Peterside and the
APC had on May 3, 2015, filed their petition before the tribunal to challenge
the victory of the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate, Nyemson Wike, in
the poll.
The Justice
Mu’azu Pindiga-led tribunal, in a ruling on Thursday, dismissed Wike’s
application asking for the setting aside of the June 11, 2015 order.
The Governor of
Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, on Thursday explained why the planned protest by
traders against the relocation of some Boko Haram suspects to Anambra State did
not hold in the state.
He told journalists
during an inspection tour of ongoing projects in Abakaliki that since the
suspects had already been taken to Abuja, the protest was unnecessary.
He said, “The
traders have the right to protest but there was no need for the protest because
we (South-East governors) had enjoined the Federal Government not to relocate
any Boko Haram prisoner to any prison in the South-East. Those suspects brought
to Anambra State have been taken back to Abuja.
“The state
decided against the protest for the reason that the governors of the region had
intimated the Presidency on their opinion on the matter, and so no need for
anyone to encourage people of the state to take to the streets.”
Umahi said that
risking the lives of the people of the state on the streets was not the best.
It was gathered
that the planned protest by the traders was expected to take place
simultaneously across the five states of the South-East.
As fans of
celebrated comedian, Julius Agwu, hope for his early return to the
entertainment scene, he has given further details on the health issue that has
taken him out of circulation for some time.
Agwu shocked many
people earlier in the week when he revealed in YES magazine that he had
undergone a surgery for brain tumour.
According to
Agwu, the crisis started with a progressive weight loss until he suffered a
seizure in May.
After his wife,
Ibiere, and maid initially rushed him to their hospital in the Lekki area of
Lagos, where he was stabilised, they had subsequently taken him to the United
States for further treatment.
President
Muhammadu Buhari has turned down an offer by the Federal Government to procure
five new armoured Mercedes Benz S-600 (V222) cars for his use.
The cars which
total cost is put at about N400m were planned to be purchased by the State
House.
A Presidency
source told journalists on Thursday that Buhari got to know of the plan when
the Permanent Secretary, State House, Mr. Nebolisa Emodi, was briefing him of
his ministry’s activities on Wednesday.
Two days after hoodlums suspected to be sympathetic to the All Progressives Congress, APC allegedly unleashed terror on anti-Aregbesola’s protesters in Osogbo, some residents of the state capital were again yesterday attacked over an alleged opposition stance against the governor.
The fresh attack took place at a popular news-stand, Makson Junction, opposite old Governor’s Office in Osogbo with several innocent people sustaining various degrees of injuries.
The thugs numbering about 25 stormed the place in six mini-buses and with all kinds of arms such as guns, axes and cudgels started chasing and beating up anyone at sight.
All major markets
in the South East geopolitical zone were yesterday shut down by traders against
alleged decision of the Federal Government to transfer Boko Haram prisoners
from the north to Ekwulobia prison in Anambra State.
The one day
protest was agreed upon during a well-attended meeting of the South East
Amalgamated Traders Association held at 52 Modebe Street in the commercial city
of Onitsha on Saturday, July 4.
Participants at
the meeting were reportedly drawn from various traders’ unions and associations
in the South Eastern states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.
They condemned
the alleged transfer of the Boko Haram prisoners to Ekwulobia prison and asked
President Muhammadu Buhari to as a matter of urgency, order the removal of the
terrorists from Igbo land.
With about 302
million people on twitter, you can’t possibly follow everyone. But these
statistics prove that these five Nigerians just might be worth your click.

After 10 months of sitting, the Lagos Coroner’s Inquest into the collapse of a six-storey building belonging to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), yesterday, in Ikeja indicted the church for “criminal negligence” and recommended that it be prosecuted. 116 people died in the tragic incident.
The court said the Church did not get the necessary permit or approval before commencing construction of the building.
The Lagos State Government inaugurated the Coroner’s Inquest under the state’s Coroner’s System Law No. 7 of 2007 to investigate the cause and circumstances leading to the death of 116 people, mostly South Africans, following the building collapse of September 12, 2014, and bring its findings and recommendations to the appropriate authorities.
