Nigerian Stowaway boy handed over to Edo state officials

Daniel Oikhena, the 14 year old stowaway who flew an Arik flight from Benin to Lagos in the plane's Tyre compartment was Today September 3rd handed over to the Edo state Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development in Benin by operatives of Eo state Command of the Department of State Security Services (DSS).

Journalists and family members, including his mother, Mrs Evelyn Oikhena were however denied access to the boy at the DSS office in Benin City. Also, efforts made by Mrs. Oikhena at the Ministry of Women Affairs to see her son were rebuffed by the Ministry officials.


At the premises of the Ministry, Mrs. Oikhena lamented, “I was not allowed to see my son at the SSS office when I was told he was there. I went there but they said they have taken him to the Ministry of Women Affairs. I was given a number to call but I have been calling the number but no response. I asked some body they told me he is not here but they told me he is here. So I am waiting to hear from them. I missed my son and I want to see him,”she said.


At the time of this report the Ministry was making arrangement for the boy to meet with Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

Meanwhile, the Executive Director of African Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), Rev.David Ugolor, has commended the DSS for releasing the boy and appealed to good spirited Nigerians to assist him in his education. (PM News)

Offa rerun: Protests rock Kwara over election result


Kwara protest










Members of the All Progressives Party in Ilorin and Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State on Monday protested against the announcement on radio of the result of the rerun election held in Offa  LG on Saturday, in which the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Segun Olanipekun, was declared  the winner.
 According to the radio announcement and a statement from the Deputy Director, Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission, Mr. Dauda Nurudeen, the PDP’s Olanipekun  polled 35,937 votes against 20,161 reported votes scored by the APC candidate, Mr. Saheed Popoola.
But the APC protesters insisted that from the signed result sheet obtained at the collation centre, APC defeated the PDP in 11 of the 12 wards.
They stated that PDP won only in Igboodun Ward, adding that the APC scored 11,526 as against PDP’s 4,668.
The Labour Party in the state had earlier stated that it viewed the rerun election as a litmus test for  the KWASIEC for the local council polls in the state in October.
The APC protesters matched from one of their offices at Offa Road Ilorin to Flower Gardens and to the KWASIEC head office at Fate/Sola Saraki Road.
 A chief of the APC, Mr. Sola Iji, who was among the protesters,  said,  “We met with the Chairman of KWASIEC, Dr. Uthman Ajidagba, who feigned ignorance. He said he didn’t know where the electoral officer was and some of his junior officers. We met with the chairman and about three or four other officers of the commission on Saturday and they promised that the result would be announced. “They said we should return Sunday morning by 10am, but surprisingly by around 5am, we started hearing from Kwara Radio, the same KWA SIEC chairman, announcing the false results.”
Nobody from KWASIEC addressed the  protesters, as the gate of the commission was padlocked.  Also, stern-looking riot police officers and a police Armoured Personnel Carrier were stationed at the KWASIEC office.
Also at Offa, our correspondent learnt that numerous APC members matched around some of the streets, denouncing Olanipekun as the winners of the rerun election.
They were also said to have demanded the declaration of Popoola as the rightful winner of the election.
Meanwhile, speaking on the outcome of the rerun election,   the state Governor, AbdulFatah Ahmed, congratulated  Olanipekun on Monday.
In a statement  by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba, the governor admonished the opposition members  to use appropriate channels to seek redress.
 “Rather than take laws into their hands, any legitimate grievance should be channelled through established procedure for redress,” Ahmed said.
Also, the National Association of Kwara State Students  protested in Ilorin on Monday.
The students matched from Maraba Junction, through Murtala Muhammed Road  to the Post Office  Round About and to the Government House.
The students said they were protesting against the alleged non-payment of the balance of their bursaries.
The students had, in a letter dated August 28, appealed to the state governor, to ensure the payment of the alleged balance of their bursaries, warning that they will embark on peaceful protest on Monday if the money was not paid.

"Marrying Ayo Adesanya was like boarding a 'one-chance' vehicle' ex says



When asked about the lessons he learnt from his relationship with his ex-wife actress Ayo Adesanya, movie producer/cum actor Omogoriola Hassan said marrying Ayo was like boarding a 'one-chance' vehicle. He tells Encomium magazine:
"The biggest lesson I learnt was not to trust anyone. The person you trust may eventually disappoint. Then I was the greatest fool but today I am the wisest and happiest. Marrying Ayo then was like boarding a 'one-chance' vehicle. It was like I could never come across a woman I can love like that not knowing I was just being foolish. If not that she had a baby for me, I would have revealed a lot about her. Will just keep them to myself in the interest of our son. But I was agitated when I read that she wants to remove the tattoo on her hand bearing our logo - No Fear. She is free to do but what about the one on her ass where my name was written bold, Omogoriola Hassan? How is she going to remove that? That is stupid of her. If at all you don't like someone again, that doesn't mean you need to go to that extent. But believe me she's still thinking about me because if she's not she wouldn't be thinking about removing my tattoos on her body.

Exactly two months after her death, her friends, who have been investing her death, have written an open letter to her in laws, accusing them of negligence that led to Nike's death. The letter below...
It’s no news to every born Nigeria; home & abroad the standard processes involved in a marriage. Where there are cultural standards, there are also religious standards. In most parts of the world, either culturally or by virtue of religion when a woman marries a man she automatically adopts her husband’s family name. In exceptional cases, the couple may decide otherwise. The Ogungbe family, without doubt are Yorubas and they have proclaimed long enough to be Christians. Unfortunately, the recent events following their actions and contributions to Adenike Ogungbe’s death has proven this bunch otherwise.
