Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has ordered accelerated investigation into the alleged battering of a beauty queen, Elizabeth Oyeniyi, by the state Commissioner for Water Resources, Abdumumini Danga. Oyeniyi had accused the commissioner of assaulting and raping her over a  Facebook  post. Oyeniyi had on March 29, 2020, made a post on her  Facebook  page about Danga not taking care of his sibling, who is her friend. It was gathered that the post did not go down well with Danga and he allegedly ordered his boys to look for Oyeniyi and beat her up. The victim told  PUNCH Metro  that after she was beaten by the boys, she was ordered to strip naked and apologise to the commissioner thereafter. The 23-year-old beauty queen added that the commissioner took her to a hotel and raped her. She said, “I left Abuja for Okene to stay with my friend because of the spread of the COVID-19 and on getting there, she explained to me that the commissioner, who ...

Eden Hazard brings up Chelsea century Eden Hazard took his tally of Chelsea goals to 100 as he scored in the Blues' Premier League clash with Watford. Having ended an eight-match scoreless streak by netting in Chelsea's defeat of Brighton and Hove Albion 10 days ago, Hazard snatched the winner against Bournemouth in the EFL Cup quarter-finals. That effort took the Belgium international to 99 club goals and, after drawing a blank in Chelsea's loss to Leicester City, Hazard hit his century with the opening goal in a Boxing Day trip to Watford. Mateo Kovacic intercepted the ball on the halfway line and sent Hazard, again operating as a false nine for Maurizio Sarri's side, racing through on the Watford goal. And the forward made no mistake with the chance, rounding Hornets goalkeeper Ben Foster with ease before slotting the ball into the open goal. Hazard is the 10th Chelsea player to reach a landmark 100 goals for the club, but lags some way behind record ...

 14 killed, many injured in fresh Plateau attack Tragedy struck again on Sunday night with over 14 persons feared dead in two separate fresh attacks by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Jos South and Bassa Local Government Areas of Plateau State. The killings came at the time when the governor of the state, Simon Lalong, was in Beijing, China, with President Muhammadu Buhari for the 7th Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation scheduled to hold from September 3 to 4. The latest killings came barely 24 hours after the alarm raised by the Executive Director of Stephanos Foundation, a civil rights’ organisation, Mark Lipdo, of fresh plots by the herdsmen to attack some villages in the State. He said, “It is rumoured that the Fulani will sweep over Berom Land on (Sunday) September 2. This was how all the past attacks were rumoured and the security operatives took it for granted until hundreds were wiped out, some in their sleep. Here again is another rumour. “What wi...

Elections will not affect 2019 UTME – JAMB The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, has said that the 2019 general elections would not affect the board’s 2019/2020 examination. He made this remark while fielding questions from journalists shortly after delivering the 2018 Annual Sobo Sowemimo Lecture of the Abeokuta Club in Abeokuta. Oloyede said that since the Independent National Electoral Commission had given the dates of the elections, then the board would only need to adjust accordingly. “I don’t think there will be any need for a shift in the examination date because of the 2019 general elections. I believe INEC has done well by giving us a prior notice six months ago. “They have given us the date of the elections. So we have no excuse not to have adjusted. We have adjusted appropriately,” he said. Oloyede decried the rate at which candidates, who were not qualified to write the examination applied for it, the...

EKITI 2018 GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION: SHOW OF SHAME AND RAPE OF DEMOCRACY. BY ANTHONY AKEJU akejuanthony1@gmail.com http://tonycharisma.blogspot.com Democracy is the most popular form of government, which has become a benchmark for measuring the level of socio-political civilization of any society or a nation in the international community. The word democracy is a derivative of two Greek words ‘demos’, meaning people, and ‘kratia’, meaning rule, which implies the ‘rule by the people’. Democracy is a difficult concept to define because of the relativity of its meaning to different societies. American scholar Larry Diamond defines democracy as a “Meaningful and extensive competition among individuals and organized groups (especially political parties) either directly or indirectly, for the major positions of governmental power in addition to popular participation in the electoral process and respect for the civil and political rights of the people”. Further attempt at ...
