A man identified as Papi Wemba has narrated how operatives of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS arrested his PA and the ensuing drama that followed.

According to the narrator, the incident happened on Friday, 23rd October, 2020.

He said SARS officers picked up his PA around Adekunle as he was heading to the hospital, that after showing the officers his pass and doctor’s letter, they immediately arrested him and accused him of leading the thugs that invaded the Oba of Lagos’ Palace.

Wemba went further to reveal that when his PA eventually got an opportunity to call him, he swiftly informed his PA’s father who has military connections and they stormed the police station with army trucks to release him.

Read the story as written below:

“Men of @PoliceNG precisely #SARS! Picked up my PA today around Adekunle when he was driving to attend to a health emergency. He showed them his pass and doctor’s letter. They arrested him and said he was the leader of the thugs that invaded the Oba’s palac

“This happened today! 23rd of October 2020. They took him to Adekunle police station, removed his plate numbers, seized his phones and prepared a letter for transfer to kirikiri.

“Luckily the DPO saw him in the cell allowed him make 1 phone call and that’s how…

“That’s how we bombarded the police station with army trucks!

“These men of the anti cult unit / SARS lied that he wasn’t there. Thank God we could recognize his car. After an hour of threats they brought him out.

“Please be careful out there…

“We have prepared our law suit! and we plan on arresting these officers too. They planted a pistol in the car! Just imagine he didn’t have a father with military support and connections.”

There has been reports of COVID-19 palliative warehouses discovered by suspected hoodlums across the country.

Residents of the communities have also stormed the warehouses to cart away the food items stored for redistribution.

There is a collective belief that the relief items were hoarded from the masses, hence the mobs are taking what is rightfully theirs.

In a video circulating online, some youths are seen distributing the looted palliatives to beggars at the side of a street in Osogbo, Osun state.

Watch the video below,

These selfless young men shared the #COVID19 food they got from those warehouses to beggars on the streets. Nigeria Strong ?? ?? morning

The video has warmed the heart of many social media users as they claim it is an act of selflessness and service to humanity.

A Nigerian lady identified as @ijayy_ on Twitter, has taken to her page to recount the events surrounding the burial of her father.

The lady likened the sad events to Igbo movies as she claims that everything one sees in the movies are real and in fact worse.

According to Ijayy, three graves were dug just to bury her father, adding that his kinsmen hijacked his corpse and refused burying him in his land because it is a “virgin” land.

Her post on Twitter reads ;

Well it’s supposed to be my dad’s burial today. But his own brothers and kinsmen just hijacked his corpse:

It’s literally the third grave that has been dug. Just to bury one man.

For two months I haven’t been able to talk about my dad’s death or grieve because I’ve been busy fighting or quarreling or going for village meetings because of little things that should not matter. Because girls like me should not have opinions about things like this.

Because why would someone with a vagina hold the mortuary tally. Because after my dad’s brothers abandoned his corpse and left it lying there in my living room I took him to the mortuary. Because his wife and children should not have a say when it comes to burial plans or where

He is to be buried. After my recent experiences, I almost wish I wasn’t a woman. Because now my mum, my siblings and my late dad are suffering because of it. Previously, people have asked me why I hate Igbo culture and people, this is why, people who constantly make you feel..

I don’t have words anymore.. Igbo tradition is sick. Being from the same bloodline does not make you family. And all you see in Igbo movies are true, in fact it’s worse actually. I take solace in the fact that that’s not really my dad, just his earthly home/host.

Imagine refusing to bury my father on his own piece of land. Because it’s a virgin land, against his wishes, against his wife & children’s wishes. Imagine the effrontery! Telling people how to use their own property. Hijacking a man’s burial to preserve land that’s not yours

Hopefully the end of this thread. In 2020. I’m actually fine, I promise.

The heart of man is truly wicked, who can know it? Worst part of all of this is they fooled me. They apologized and they begged my mum in the presence of the DPO and Rev. Father and we foolishly forgave them. I let them fool me into releasing the corpse.

They just used me for the parts they could not do. Pretended, made me believe they actually wanted a “peaceful burial” Convinced me to drop legal action, to come back home, to carry his picture around the village and to go ahead with the burial in spite of the police situation.

I feel a fool. Before you marry Igbo men, learn about their cultures, once you marry traditionally you cannot escape them. If you have daughters,I honestly don’t know what to tell you, because lawyers or the police can’t really save them. You have to, make sure you save them

My dad never believed his family hated us, he always tried to unite us. But we always felt the hate, out of 7 sons he was the only one with biological children, 2 girls & a boy. It did not sit right with them and all our lives we’ve had to deal with the utter dislike. I really hope there’s a God, and he’s listening. She added.

Ex-Gulder Ultimate Search winner, Dominic Mudabai and wife, Tope, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy.

The proud new dad took to his social media page to share the good news.

Read his post below ;

Dear Son,

We live in a time when no one wants to take the responsibility to say what’s right and what’s wrong,
when no one wants to be told what to believe or what not to believe, when people want to have titles but not work or be responsive to their functions, when people lack a sense of duty, where the lunatics have taken over the asylum and the doctors are the ones in straight jacket. You will come to realize that the world we have made is also the world we have failed.

You have made your way into this world. I want you to be a man of good heart, who reaches out to the world around him with an open mind and a gentle touch, I want you to be a man of belief but not a man of judgement, I want you to choose always to speak with empathy, caring and kindness no matter your voice or purpose, I want you to serve as a shepherd first and then a king, hold honor and truth at all times and never forget the son of whom you are as you journey to finding your rightful place in this world.

To be such a man, you must not be afraid to be vulnerable in times when it is required of you to stand up and to speak from your heart, you should create a place in your heart to hear voices that speak with empathy, compassion and realism about the issues of becoming a man.

And so I take my place among those attempting to provide such a voice as I watch with eager anticipation and anxiousness as you take your every step to finding your place amid the confusion and cacophony of life.

Having you brought clarity and an earnest wonder that has set me on a course that I think will reenergize my years to come, it showed me that I could, and should, indeed I must be my best self and like a wise and gentle friend, I will guide you to the truths that emerge when you approach life openly and honestly.

On this journey to you knowing God (which is a life-long journey), learning to love, living life, passing through the stages of manhood and the wisdom that comes thereof, God will encapsulate you and order your every step, you will always be a blessing of grace, your mother will be with you, I will hold your hand and guide you through your decisions. So help me God.

Yours Truly,

Daddy.”

A young man has taken to social media to share adorable photos of himself standing next to his mum who was rocking a graduation gown.

The young man reveals his mother who looks like his age-mate, was graduating from college and he decided to enjoin people to congratulate her.

@brykelbriza on Twitter celebrated his beautiful mother for still pursuing her dreams, even though she was pregnant with him as a teen and gave birth at age 16.

Sharing the photos, he wrote; “Help me to congratulate my mother. She had me when she was 16 years old and she didn’t sleep on her Dreams. THANK YOU GOD”.

However, social media users were in doubt of the authenticity of his claim, as many did not believe that someone as young as the lady beside him could be his mum.
