“I don’t wish the sight on anyone” – Benue LG chairman narrates how herdsmen k!lled his son and 45 others

Benue LG chairman narrates

Hon Bako Ejeh, the chairman of Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, has narrated how suspected herdsmen murdered his son, Jason Ochohepo Bako, and 45 others in cold blood.

Last week, gunmen stormed Umogidi community of Entekpa Adoka district in Otukpo LGA and killed scores in a deadly homicidal attack.

Benue LG chairman narrates

According to him, the suspected herdsmen returned the following day, March 5, and launched another attack, killing 46 people, including his son.

Read his heartbreaking post below,

“In the wake of dawn of Tuesday, 4th April, 2023, three corpses belonging to Umogidi, my village were found and the burial set out for. After this previous day attack, I went down to Umogidi with some Military men to safeguard my people. They stayed for a while and made to leave. Despite all the pleadings by me and my people including my deceased son they left,” he narrated.

“Immediately they left, I went up of my village to visit the families of the victims of the attack of the previous day. While there, we started hearing gunshots. A lot of it. I made to go there myself because my kids were there but was held down. The shooting continued for about thirty (30) minutes

“After the whole saga, I went in search of my boys. I searched and searched until I found the lifeless body of my son on the outskirt of the village. He ran very far from where he was before he was finally killed. With the help of other four persons I dug my son’s grave and buried him there where his body was found.

“I also dug the graves for other forty-six persons with the assistance of the four people as well. The whole village was ravaged and my people sacked from their homes.

The sight is what I don’t wish anyone. A father having to bury their own child is painful but doing it in the manner it happened is something else, however, in all these, we pray for peace and God’s protection. Only God can console all of us. May the soul of my son, my nephew, his father and that of all those lost in the attack find peace. Rt. Hon. Bako Ejeh.”

Outrage as two upcoming IG comedians refuse to take down content they created about r*ping a minor

Two upcoming Instagram comedians, Comedian_simigo and Ezebueze, have sparked outrage online over an inappropriate content involving a minor.

The skit maker had taken to their Instagram pages a few days ago to share a video that portrayed comedian_simigo, who played the role of a landlord, having canal knowledge of a 2-year-old girl.

The disturbing video quickly went viral, garnering over 13,000 comments from internet users who demanded its removal and the sanctioning of the two.

This further incited an uproar from Nigerians on social media, who called on appropriate bodies to bring the comedians to book.

Reacting, an Instagram user @Fiyin wrote, “Nothing about this video was funny, you’re sexualizing a small child and you still had the guts to use that stupid caption. Take it down!!”

Another user wrote, “Haaaaaaaa u should be put behind bars #police #nigeriapolice”.

Pastor Tomi Arayomi and his wife flee the country following their arrest by DSS; narrate ordeal

Pastor Tomi Arayomi

Nigerian pastor, Tomi Arayomi has issued an official statement in response to his and his wife’s unlawful arrest and detention by Department of State Services (DSS) operatives.

Recall that the clergyman and his wife, Tahmar, were picked up by DSS agents on Friday, April 7, sparking an uproar from the Christian community in Nigeria and they were released hours later.

Pastor Arayomi, the founder of Restoring Issachar’s Generation (RIG) Nation, has now shed more light on the arrest in a statement released on his Instagram page.

Pastor Tomi Arayomi

He confirmed the arrest and said they were released due to the pressure mounted on them on social media, but his Personal Assistant is still in their custody.

The clergyman further revealed that he and his wife have fled the country on the advice of their families and colleagues.

Read his full statement below,

“Prophetess Tahmar and I would like to express our gratitude for all your prayers and international support during Fridays ordeal with The DSS. We can confirm that on Good Friday 7th April we arrived at Abuja to visit one of our branches when we were picked up by about 6 armed agents who did not identify themselves as DSS or any law enforcement agency. My wife, myself and my aide were forced to surrender our mobile phones and enter the vehicles where we were taken at considerable speed to what we later learned were DSS HQ. The officers, some of who wore balaclavas were not immediately recognizable as DSS.

Pastor Tomi Arayomi

Our pictures were taken, finger prints and data collected and we were locked inside a room with no real knowledge as to the grounds for our arrest. After a lengthy interrogation, it appears media and social media pressure forced DSS to release my wife and I. My aide still remains under DSS custody and thus far, DSS have been elusive as to his exact whereabouts. We will not divulge the particulars of the investigation at this point as we are still awaiting the safe release of my aide.

Out of concern for my young children and my wife’s well being, we made the unfortunate decision to leave Nigeria abruptly. This decision did not come lightly but with considerable prayer and counsel from our board, trustees, colleagues in the ministry and respective families. I can confirm that we are safe and will continue to work and pray for a new Nigeria. We remain resolute that we will return to the Nation that we have grown to call our home but for now we will continue to press, pray and give God no rest until Nigeria becomes a praise in the earth. We did not come to Nigeria under any illusion of comfort. We came to serve the Lord, fully aware of the danger. We want you to know that Tahmar and I remain strong and unwavering in our commitment to Nigeria and the many great leaders we have encountered during our time there. We want to thank every leader and friend who reached out, called, texted, posted. We are so grateful. This is not goodbye. This is see you soon! In a new and better Nigeria.”

“Dear straight married people,

If my unnatural gay marriage is lasting more than your natural straight marriage, maybe it’s time you try something unnatural for once.

Popular Nollywood actress, Bimbo Ademoye has given her views on the recently released Nollywood film “Gangs of Lagos,” which she had a part in.

Since she had previously collaborated with the producer on the film “Sugar Rush,” which she thought to be a wonderful experience, she expressed her delight upon getting the screenplay for the movie.

As a result, she put off reading the screenplay since she thought the movie would be fantastic.

Bimbo Ademoye however, found out that she had been cast as Teni, a role she did not anticipate, after ultimately reading the screenplay.

She made a few more calls to verify the casting, but she was given the assurance that it was accurate.

The producers informed her that while fans would anticipate her in a part similar to Gift, they had chosen to cast her in a different one.

“I paid outrageous amount to kidnappers for my father’s release” – Mikel Obi

Former Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, has explained that in 2018, he spent a “crazy amount of money” to gain the release of his father, Pa Michael, from a kidnapper’s lair.

Five years ago, the father of the football hero was kidnapped together with his driver, Ishaya John, as they traveled from Jos, Plateau State, to Enugu.

In an interview with Dubai Eye 103.8 Sport, he recalled how he learned of his father’s kidnapping roughly four hours prior to Nigeria’s 2018 World Cup match against Argentina.

He described how a family member instructed him to call the kidnappers on a specific number, which he did and was then told to pay a ransom.

The ex-Chelsea midfielfielder also revealed that although he was saddened by the news, he had to put it aside and play the match.

He said;

“I was emotionally distraught and I had to make the decision about whether I was mentally ready to play. I was confused. I did not know what to do but, in the end, I knew that I could not let 180 million Nigerians down. I had to shut it out of my head and go and represent my country first. I could not even inform the coaches or NFF staff and only a very tight circle of my friends knew.

I was told that they would shoot my dad instantly if I reported to the authorities or told anybody. I also did not want to discuss it with the coach [Gernot Rohr] because I did not want my issue to become a distraction to him or the rest of the team on the day of such an important game. As much as I wanted to discuss it with the coach, I could not.

The abductors then started calling the families to demand a ransom of N10 million but the operatives acting on intelligence information swooped on them. A gun duel ensued which forced the hoodlums to abandon their victims inside the forest and they were promptly rescued.

They [the kidnappers] said listen, we know, it is Mikel he would pay. If he doesn’t, we are going to shoot his dad. They said they had nothing to lose. They would shoot my dad and dump him somewhere.

It was horrible. After the game, I got back on the phone, tried to negotiate with them and spoke with them. They were calling some ridiculous amount of money for a start, and in the end, I still had to pay some crazy amount of money to get my dad out.

Even now, I still go through it. Even when I got a flashback, I had to speak to the guys on the phone. There was a gunpoint at his head. They said they would shoot him, kill him. I have not told my kids about it, but a few months ago, they looked at my phone and saw the news about it. Obviously, I have not told them about it because they are young kids, 7 years, but one day when they grow up, I will be able to share the story with them.”

Mother sentenced to life in prison for beating 4-month-old daughter to death over failed relationship with her father

A 29-year-old mother, Tradezsha Trenay Bibbs, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for beating her infant daughter to death.

Bibbs, from Houston, was sentenced on Monday, April 3, after being convicted of felony murder for the death of her 4-month-old daughter, Brielle Robinson, on April 16, 2016.

Bibbs had previously been convicted of capital murder, but that verdict was reversed and Bibbs was retried.

In 2016, authorities were called to the Red Carpet Inn on the Gulf Freeway, where they found Bibbs in a room with her baby, Brielle.

According to court documents filed at the time, Bibbs told officials she heard her daughter crying and picked her up by the arms and dropped her on the bed, causing her to fall to the floor. Bibbs then allegedly continuously struck her daughter in the face, chest, ribs, and legs until the child stopped crying.

The baby was later transported to Texas Children’s Hospital, where doctors determined she had suffered multiple fractures and severe head trauma.

Meanwhile, the mother had originally told authorities that Brielle had fallen from her car seat to the concrete, but later admitted making up that story.

She told police that after checking into the motel with the infant, a few hours later she started to not care about the child’s well-being and repeatedly dropped her on the mattress and “popped” her in the face.

Bibbs told police she punched the baby in the ribs and chest repeatedly until she stopped crying but called 911 once the baby stopped breathing.

Assistant District Attorney Keaton Forcht said Bibbs killed her daughter because the baby’s father no longer wanted a relationship with her.

During the trial, jurors heard evidence that emergency-room doctors said Bibbs did not seem interested in the baby’s medical care or the consequences for the fatal head injury she inflicted.

“Bibbs deserved a life sentence for what she did to her child,” Forcht said.

“She beat her countless times and seemed to care about as much about the death of her daughter as she did about the life of her daughter. Our office stands up for all victims, but a baby is the most innocent of victims. We believed that a life sentence was appropriate for this brutal murder”, Assistant District Attorney ADA, Napoleon Stewart added.

Drama as spirit of Sango reportedly possesses EKSU student during show (Video)

A video posted online captured the moment a student acting as a deity lost control during a play in the school’s auditorium and had to be escorted out.

The EKSU student appeared powerless to halt Sango’s demonstration and was dragged away by strong guys who struggled as they did so.

“See how Sangos spirit showed up today during obakoso performance by theatre arts students Ekiti State.”

“Wole Soyinka can never be the man Chinua Achebe was” – Charly Boy

Veteran singer and social activist, Charles Oputa, aka Charly Boy has criticized Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka for his comments criticising supporters of Peter Obi’s presidential campaign after making a statement denouncing Labour Party vice presidential candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed.

Prof. Soyinka referred to Baba-Ahmed’s statement in an interview that swearing in a candidate who was proclaimed the winner without fulfilling constitutional requirements would put an end to democracy as “fascistic.”

However, he received harsh criticism for using the word “fascism” from Obi’s supporters, known as Obidients, and the prize-winning author retorted by arguing that their reluctance to accept criticism confirms his prior viewpoint.

“A climate of fear is being generated. The refusal to entertain corrective criticism, even differing perspectives of the same position has become a badge of honour and certificate of commitment.
What is at stake, ultimately is – Truth, and at a most elementary level of social regulation: when you are party to a conflict, you do not attempt to intimidate the arbiter, attempt to dictate the outcome, or impugn, without credible cause, his or her neutrality even before hearing has commenced. That is a ground rule of just proceeding. Short of this, Truth remains permanently elusive,”

he said in part.

Charly Boy responded to his statement by saying that he used to revere Soyinka almost as much as his late father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa.

All of it, he claimed, is now lost since the esteemed poet has become little more than an errand boy for corrupt politicians.

He wrote;

“The kin respect I had for dis man, was almost the kind of respect I had for my stainless father, The Socrates of the Supreme Court.
It has finally dawned on me that Soyinka can never be the man Chinua Achebe was. Look at a man many Nigerians put on such high pedestal reducing himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians.
