The Senate, on Wednesday, directed the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Ibrahim Idris to restore security aides of Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra within 24 hours.
The directive was sequel to a Point of Order raised by Deputy Minority Leader, Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha during plenary in Abuja.
The Upper Chamber also directed the Chairman Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Sen. Abu Ibrahim to ensure that the order was carried out and report back to the Senate on Thursday, November 16.
The IGP had, on Tuesday, withdrawn Governor Obiano’s security aides on the excuse of providing level playing ground in Saturday’s governorship polls in the state.
Bwacha described the withdrawal of the governor’s aides as unjust.
“As a senator, I know that injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. If we don’t arrest the matter the President may be made hostage unknown to him.
“If we allow such cabal to grow and are not tamed, the Federal Government may be brought down to its knees.”
He said as members of parliament they had a duty to ensure that “What happened in Anambra did not happen anywhere again.
“Candidates should be allowed level playing ground but nobody should do a thing as crude and shrewd as what happened in Anambra. This was wrong.
“I will make attempt to try and reach the President that some of his aides are been over zealous in discharging their constitutional duties; this is not good and it is uncalled for.”
In his comment, the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, described the development as unfortunate, but said the Senate would not debate on the matter as it was brought under an order not debatable.
Rising under Order 45 and 52, Deputy Minority Whip, Sen. Biodun Olujimi said the whole idea of the Point of Order she raised was for the lawmakers to be allowed to make contributions on the matter.
“The issue is very important to Nigerians and democracy. It is a nascent democracy and there is a need for us to nurture it, to ensure that we don’t truncate it easily.
“The action of the IGP in taking over the aides of a sitting governor means that in 2019, even the Senate President will lose all his aides,’’ Olujimi said.
She added: “every governor regardless of his political party is entitled to security and as chief security officers of their states they are entitled to security.
“It is unimaginable that the IGP will say because he wants to provide level playing field because there is an election, he will withdraw the ADC of a governor so that he goes without his retinue of aides. That is wrong.”
CG-IPOB is worried that President Buhari has not come to terms with the historical facts that Biafra represents a peoples’ indigenous identity and could not in any way be equated with war.In a statement forwarded to BVI Channel 1 from the Directorate of Information,Customary Government of Indigenous People of Biafra,the statement reads : ‘ Our attention has been drawn to a newspaper(Sun) report credited to President Buhari that Ndigbo should forget Biafra and join forces in rebuilding a prosperous and united Nigeria.Customary Government of the Indigenous People of Biafra is not comfortable that the name Biafra is being stigmatized to further remove a peoples’ identity from the world map.For emphasize ,we can never forget our indigenous name just like Arewa and Oduduwa people cannot forget their indigenous names.President Buhari could advice us to suspend our agitation for self determination outside the Nigeria State with a mouthwatering offer for an equitable and just Nigeria society.It is not right for anybody to decide what is good for our dear people talk less of imposing a unitary constitution written by few military cabals on over 70 million people.It has also become necessary to remind our dear President that our people have an inalienable rights for self determination and therefore a united Nigeria is not sacrosanct but should be subjected to the wishes of the People’ . The statement further advised Mr President to always remind the public that the issue of Biafra is being resolved in the Court of Law with the Elders of the Biafraland being part of the legal process as no amount of force can keep Nigeria united but open minded dialogue.
The statement was signed by the Director,Directorate of Information,Customary Government of Indigenous People of Biafra.
President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to the people of South East region not to buy into the idea of Biafra being promoted by the members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
He assured Igbo of fair share of his developmental projects next year, revealing that some key projects had already been designed for the region, especially in the area of road infrastructure, agriculture and social services, captured in the 2018 budget.
Speaking at the Abakaliki Township Stadium, as part of programmes lined up for his one-day visit to Ebonyi State, President Buhari asked Igbo to work for the country’s unity, saying the agitation for the realisation of Biafra was “a senseless propaganda” being promoted by “some misguided youths” in the region.
He said dividing the country across ethnic lines was tantamount to betraying the efforts of Nigeria’s founding fathers.
“I am asking you all not to buy into the senseless propaganda on secession. Igbo is Nigeria and Nigeria is Igbo, both are inseparable.
“We must, therefore, continue to commit ourselves to the development of Nigeria by sustaining our national unity without compromising our cultural identities, a Nigerian where the aspirations of its people is guaranteed without prejudice to tribe or religion, a Nigerian where we can sleep at night knowing that tomorrow will be better than today.
“The task of nation building is a continuous one. Our founding fathers from all corners of this country worked together to actualise the creation of one Nigeria. After independence, the same founding fathers worked together to maintain this one Nigeria.
“Yes, they had differences of opinion at times; after all, they were only human. And yes, they had moments of weaknesses and doubt, but again no one is perfect. However, one thing they all protected until the end of their lives was having one Nigeria for all Nigerians. Today, Nigeria is 57 years old. Nigeria has gone through many pains, but has also achieved significant successes.
“Its citizens are leaders in all aspects of human development, but we rarely celebrate these successes. Some misguided Nigerians will rather channel their energies to propagating negative stories and senseless rumours. Over 68 per cent of Nigeria’s population is under 25 years old. They have little knowledge of Nigeria’s journey. They were not born during the dark days of the civil war and nation building afterwards. The task of nation building is a continuous one; it relies on the successful transition of factual knowledge from one generation to another. This means it is our collective responsibility to ensure we do not betray our founding fathers as we transfer the Nigerian project from one generation to the next.
“As our national anthem says, the labours of our heroes past shall never be in vain. So, parents, speak to your children about the importance of their heritage, culture and being open-minded. Teachers, teach your students about the history of the nation and how it was a correlation of diversity that brought it to existence. And as leaders, we must lead by example, tolerance and acceptance of diversity.”
Also speaking earlier, when he addressed stakeholders, Buhari had said his visit to Ebonyi State was a demonstration of the belief in the unity of Nigeria.
“When I met with the leaders of the South East in Abuja last month, they raised several issues of concern, including the state of the roads and infrastructure in the region. I want to assure you that we will deliver on our promises. Our 2018 budget included many strategic projects for the region in the area of road, power, agriculture and social services.”
President Buhari expressed delight to be in Ebonyi State, noting that he was glad that the state has fared well.
He praised Governor Dave Umahi for his developmental strides while thanking traditional rulers in the state for bestow on him a chieftaincy title.
He said: “I am delighted to be in Abakaliki today to interact with the good of Ebonyi State and again with the South East region as a whole. I want to extend my gratitude to the people of Ebonyi State for their hospitality and the warm reception since my arrival a few hours ago.
“I will like to commend His Excellency, Governor David Umahi, for his vision and commitment to the development of Ebonyi State, which included some of the projects I commissioned since my arrival. They are laudable.
“I am also grateful to the traditional rulers of Ebonyi State who bestowed on me the traditional title: Ezi Enyi Oma 1 (Good friend 1). I thank you for this honour and kind gesture.”
Governor Umahi thanked the president for “supporting the state in many ways.”
“You have helped us quite a lot, especially in the area of agriculture revolution and solid mineral. Today, you made us a giant in agriculture and so, we have here with us 2,000 bags of rice and 2,000 pieces to give to our president.
“It is a prayer answered because you have sown in the land of Ebonyi and God has given you the strength and health to partake in that seed that you planted. We are grateful to give back to our father who has given so much to us,” Umahi said.
The president, incontinuation of his visit to the South-East would be in Anambra State today where he is expected to meet with chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
On 13th November, 2017, Anambra state was thrilled by what can best be described as the biggest political rallies ever witnessed in the history of Anambra State in recent years.
Popular music super star Flavour and dozens of Nollywood Stars gave thousands of APGA supporters and general public a dazzling entertainment.
APGA Chieftains, ranging from APGA National Chairman, Mr Victor Oye, former National Chairman, Victor Umeh, Two former Governors of Anambra State H.E Chukwuemeka Ezeife, H.E Daem Etiaba and host of others including the incumbent governor, His Excellency Willie Obiano stormed Nnewi as Billionaire Business Man Ifeanyi Ubah held Mother of all Rallies for Gov Obiano’s Reelection bid

Zimbabwe’s military has read out a statement after taking over the national broadcaster, ZBC, saying it has taken action to “target criminals”.
However, it said this was not “a military takeover of government” and President Robert Mugabe was safe.
Heavy gunfire and artillery were heard in northern suburbs of the capital, Harare, early on Wednesday.
Zimbabwe’s envoy to South Africa, Isaac Moyo, earlier dismissed talk of a coup, saying the government was “intact”.
The statement read out by the military came hours after soldiers overran the headquarters of ZBC. An officer in uniform said: “We wish to assure the nation that his excellency the president… and his family are safe and sound and their security is guaranteed.”
The statement added: “We are only targeting criminals around him who are committing crimes… that are causing social and economic suffering in the country. As soon as we have accomplished our mission, we expect that the situation will return to normalcy.”
The statement did not name those targeted but a government source quoted by Reuters said finance minister Ignatius Chombo was among those detained.
It is not clear who is leading the military action.
The UK Foreign Office advised Britons “currently in Harare to remain safely at home or in their accommodation until the situation becomes clearer”.
The US embassy in Harare tweeted that it would be closed on Wednesday “due to ongoing uncertainty”.
It also advised US citizens in Zimbabwe to “shelter in place” until further notice.
The latest events came hours after Zimbabwe’s ruling party accused the country’s army chief of “treasonable conduct” after he warned of possible military intervention.
General Constantino Chiwenga had challenged 93-year-old President Mugabe after he sacked the vice-president.
Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano yesterday raised the alarm that his life was in danger following the sudden withdrawal of his security details by the police.
Obiano who stormed out of the election stakeholders meeting at the Prof. Dora Akunyili Development Centre, Awka after raising the alarm had waited for hours before the arrival of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
The governor said the development was unacceptable and a dangerous signal of what would happen ahead of the governorship election and demanded the immediate return of his security details to avoid overheating of the polity.
He said: “I want my security details returned immediately because I am going to start a fight from there. I am the sitting governor of Anambra state and all the paraphernalia of my office must be there.
“This is unacceptable and a sign of what will happen. Those behind this would be disappointed because we are very ready for the election.
“My life is in danger; this morning they withdrew my senior police aides, that is what I am saying and it is unacceptable. We will fight this we are not going to allow that to go. I don’t need any replacement, I want to work with the people I have worked with.”
The governor had earlier complained of not being accorded recognition by the moderator of the event when he walked in and said he had wanted to speak with the Inspector General of police who was scheduled to be at the meeting but had to voice out as the IG was not around and he was not aware when he would arrive.
Reacting to the governor’s outburst, the National Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said the event was a stakeholders’ meeting, and as such no candidate would be accorded any special treatment regardless of his position.
He said the commission insists on equal treatment of all candidates in the election and should not only have equal standing, but must be respected.
The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, who eventually arrived the meeting when almost all the candidates and majority of the stakeholders had left, explained that the withdrawal of the governor’s ADC and policemen attached to politicians was a routine exercise the Police carries out during elections and was not in any way done to witch hunt the governor.
The IG said he decided to withdraw the policemen attached to politicians because of previous experiences where such cops worked for their masters to truncate the electoral process.
He said the police have deployed 21, 000 officers that would complement the 5,000 in the state, 303 patrol vehicles, three helicopters, one for each of the three zones, 15 gunboats , Armored personnel carrier, Deputy Inspector General, Operations; two AIGs, three Commissioners of Police and some Deputy and Assistant Commissioners for the election.
IG Idris also disclosed that Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Garba Umar, had been asked to step down for neutrality and another officer who has no affinity with the state would take his place.
Earlier on, the INEC Chairman said that the election was unique because it would be the first in the history of Nigeria where a large number of candidates, 37 of them would be contesting for one governorship position, just as it would be the first governorship election that would be combined with election for state House of Assembly where eight political parties would be contesting.
Yesterday, social media was overtaken by a viral video where the proscribed Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) led by Nnamdi Kanu issued a strong threat to President Mohamed Buhari, never to step his foot in Ebony State or any part of South East.
Currently, the news reaching our news desk is that Buhari arrived safely in ebony via Enugu AirPort, and was received by some south eastern governors and loads of cheers by the public.
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari arrived Ebonyi State onboard helicopter NAF 540.
The helicopter landed at the Army Barracks, Nkwagu in Abakaliki around 11:20am and the President was received by the Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, his deputy Eric Kelechi Igwe and the Minister for Science and Technology , Chief Ogbonnaya Onu.
President Buhari conferred with the title of Ochioha NdiIgbo 1 by South East traditional council of rulers led by Eze Eberechi Dick during his visit to Ebonyi State on 14th Nov 2017 Others include former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim former governor Sam Egwu among others He was received by jubilant crowd with different traditional dances
EMEKA EMEKESIRI, ESQ., FOUNDER AND VISION BEARER OF IPOB;TEAM LEADER, BIAFRA PROJECT PHASE 2.
With pains in my heart borne out of sincere love for the Biafrans whose lives are being wasted in the pursuit of the Biafran Independence, I wish to give my last warning to the followers of Nnamdi Kanu on their campaign of “No Election” in Anambra State and the rest of Biafraland. It is no secret that Nnamdi Kanu and I do not agree on the best strategies of achieving the Biafran Independence. Yes, it is true that he came from MASSOB and joined us and became one of us before he was ostracised in 2014 by the
Supreme Council of Elders of Indigenous People of Biafra for various offences.
In my previous writings I had revealed how I created and formed the body known as INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA under Section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and filed the case between Biafra and Nigeria in Suit No FHC/OW/CS/102/2012 later reconstituted as Suit No FHC/OW/CS/192/2013 in the Federal High Court Owerri. You can read more about Indigenous People of Biafra in my book published in 2012 titled “Biafra or Nigerian Presidency- What the Ibos Want” which you can find on the internet on Amazon. I give this warning in my capacity as a Minister of God, Bishop of Christ The Rock Community, with the pure motive of seeking to save the lives of the youths under Nnamdi Kanu who have entered into a covenant of death sealed with oath and activated by the Prince of the Power of the Air by which they are enticed to chant their mantra of “Biafra or Death”. The Prince I have referred to is an Archspirit described in Ephesians 2:2 of the Holy Bible. I do not speak this out of hatred. I do not claim perfection in knowledge, wisdom and understanding but the little knowledge I have is what I want to share with others. I do not blame anybody or bear grudges at all. The scriptures are clear that all things work together for good to them that love God who are the called according to his purpose, Rom. 8:28. One thing is clear to me: Nnamdi Kanu disclosed the spirit at work in him and identified himself to his followers and to the whole world as can be heard from the two videos on the YouTube, namely:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KU5h72D__U, and the second video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtoqcSk7ulA.
Therefore, it is my opinion that we should respect his identity and allow him to work as he is led by the spirit in him, knowing that whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.I will start this warning by quoting the scriptural warning in Proverbs 29: 1 where God says, “He who is often reproved but continues to harden his heart shall suddenly be destroyed without remedy”. I want to talk about the campaign of “No Election” in Anambra State by his followers.
Some of his followers and admirers have often accused me of being jealous of him whenever I make any statement against his opinions and methodology but I forgive them because they were not there from the
beginning to understand that Nnamdi was actually the person who became jealous of me and did what he did. I cannot be jealous of a man who is not the vision-bearer of what I created. I am only giving this warning because of my love for the Biafrans whose lives are being wasted under him because they operate with zeal and emotions without knowledge, without wisdom and without understanding. After the “No Election” campaign, what next? Certainly, somebody shall win the election even if there is low turnout of voters. If there is complete breakdown of law and order, the Federal Government will declare a State of Emergency and appoint a Military Administrator from Abuja to govern Anambra State.
The story of Nnamdi Kanu and Emeka Emekesiri is likened to the story of the hawk and the weaver bird. The two birds were pregnant and desired to build homes in preparation for the children they would give birth to. The weaver bird is highly skilled in building a solid house which looks like the foot of a man from the ankle up to the knee. The nest is so strong and fortified that the kids are protected inside it during rainstorms and windstorms. The hawk was fascinated with the skills and craftsmanship of the weaver bird. She came to learn from the weaver bird.
Of course, the weaver bird was willing to teach the hawk and advised her to watch and learn patiently. The weaver bird took the first four straws and laid the foundation of the nest while the hawk watched; then she took woodrushes and made the bed of the nest while the hawk watched; took another straw and started spinning and weaving. Before she could take another straw to start making the beams and columns and reinforcements to curve the nest from ankle and raise it to the knee, the hawk shouted with excitement: “Oh, this is wonderful. I have learn it”, and with this exclamation the hawk flew away shouting on air “hawk” “hawk” to start building her own house for the children she would give birth to. She was not patient to learn the whole process.
Unfortunately, she could build up to the level she had learnt from the weaver bird. She did not know how to make the beams, columns and reinforcements to curve the nest like the boot. She was frustrated by elemental forces and stopped the nest at the base of the ankle. This is why the hawk’s nest is open and her children are exposed to windstorms and rainstorms which destroy them without mercy. Our elders taught us to pass important messages by proverbs and idioms which only the wise can understand and appreciate. I will not say too much here. The “No Election” campaign portends some danger to the followers of Nnamdi Kanu. They have the fundamental human right to boycott the elections but have no right to stop the Government from conducting the elections or to stop other people from voting in the elections.
I have heard that they want to sit at home on 18 November 2017 to eat “ofe nsala”. This is commendable. I wish them good enjoyment of ofe nsala, with tombo, isi-ewu and nkwobi. If they stay in their houses to eat and enjoy themselves, there will be no problems but if they come out to the streets to stop other people from going to vote in the election, it may be dangerous and suicidal. The Biafra Restoration Project is in three phases. The Phase 1 is awareness creation. This Phase has been completed by Nnamdi Kanu and Ralph Uwazuruike from 1999 to date. They have advertised Biafra to the whole world. We give them credit for that.
This is a relay race or team work. We have now gone into the Phase 2 of the Biafran Project to build the Biafran Political, Diplomatic and Economic Institutions that will midwife the restoration of the Biafran sovereignty in Phase 3.
The Phase 3 is still in the future. We believe that God will raise men and women in the future to accomplish Phase 3 for our outright independence. Now, we are in the Phase 2 Project to achieve Biafran Freedom within Nigeria as a self-governing region with its own Parliament just like Scotland within Britain. We want to control our political space. We want to put Biafran activists in power to pass the Biafran Bills into law in our Houses of Assembly in all the States of Biafraland. We are not interested in the Abuja politics for now. The National Assembly is skewed against us as we have no majority in the Senate or House of Reps to pass any National Bill.
At the moment, we can only control our own Biafran region and pass the appropriate bills into law as State Laws. We have no intention to break or destroy Nigeria but to be free from Nigeria. Biafra must be free. It is either freedom within or freedom without. The Phase 2 Project is freedom within Nigeria. Everything has a process. The Biafrans who believe in the legal
Methodology of self-determination have decided to participate in the Nigerian politics.
MOBIN is our political movement. The Customary Government is our De Facto Government. We have our Media organizations. We have set up the political and governmental structures under Customary Law pursuant to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999. I therefore call upon Nnamdi Kanu to advise his followers not to confront the Nigerian Security Agents or interfere with the conduct of the Anambra State election. If the Nigerian Army and Security Agents could kill and massacre them when they did nothing wrong worthy of death, how much more will the Army kill them if they wilfully confront the Government to stop the Election in Anambra State?
It is not Biafra or Death but Biafra and Life, for it is written in the scriptures to them that believe, that we shall not die but live to declare the works of
Barely two weeks to the commencement of his one year National Youth Service Scheme, a graduate of the Yaba College of Technology, Oluwamuyiwa Oluwagbemileke, aka Spartacus, has ended his life.
The 27-year-old graduate of electrical engineering reportedly took a poison on Wednesday after he was blamed for damaging a car in a sachet water factory in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, where he worked.
Bvi channel 1 learnt that he had hit the vehicle on another one on the factory premises while trying to help the owner re-park it.
The Osogbo, Osun State indigene, was said to have become desperate to raise N50,000 to repair the damaged car.
In a suicide note he posted on Facebook, a few hours before the incident, he hinted that he was depressed.
He wrote, “When a man’s life is unstable, worried, downcast and destabilised, things he does right before will become wrong no matter the best he puts in. He loses focus and strength; he becomes unhappy and angry at everything even if he tries to wear a smiling face.
“Thoughts of death will come in the scene. He keeps asking the question, ‘why me?’ He becomes helpless and even if he’s among people, he still feels lonely. Life can be truly unfair.
“Advice: Never let your ugly situations weigh you down. When you notice things are not going well, check yourself before it makes you feel worried.”
About an hour before he took the poison, he wrote another note on his Facebookwall at 10.16pm, asking his family to look after his mother.
“Please, help me stand by my mother. She’s the reason why I have lived this far. Thank you. To my loved ones,” it read.
He was buried on Saturday at the Atan Cemetery in Yaba, Lagos.
His nickname, it was learnt, evolved from his determination to become a graduate, which made him to engage in one menial job or another to sponsor himself.
His elder sister, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone on Sunday, confirmed that he was reserved.
The woman, who did not want her name in print, said Oluwagbemileke had called her on the telephone on that day around 11am, saying he was in Osogbo and wanted to discuss an issue with her.
She said, “I was monitoring him on the telephone and asking when he would come.
“I was surprised when he told me that he was on his way back to Lagos. I asked him what he came to do in Osogbo and he said I should not worry. He promised to call me back when he got to Ibadan, Oyo State. When I didn’t see his call, I called him and he said he had boarded a bus en route to Lagos. I asked him what happened. He said he would call me when he got home. I called him several times, but he said he was not at home, not knowing that he was lying. After he didn’t pick my calls again, I went to bed.”
The sister said she called him about 15 times the following day, but he did not pick his calls.
She said she later learnt that he had visited Osogbo to tell their mother about the damaged car, adding that the mother promised to follow him to the factory on Thursday.
She explained that their mother was preparing food for him when he left home, noting that the hard copy of the suicide note was found in his apartment at the factory in Lagos.
The sister said, “I passed out when I was told he poisoned himself. His neighbours said they received a message from him, saying he wanted to poison himself, but they did not take him seriously. His girlfriend said he was gasping when she called him around 11pm. Our mother said he typed the suicide note on his phone in her presence but she did not know the content because she has no formal education.
“I was surprised Muyiwa (Oluwagbemileke) could not wait to be celebrated. He struggled all through, but he never waited to reap the fruits of his labour. He worked as a carrier to survive. Our father died a long time ago. He was going for NYSC on November 21. He was the only graduate in our family.
“When I went to the factory, I was told that a laptop had fallen from his hands and damaged three days before he damaged the car. They must have chided him, which is normal, although his boss denied it. He was collecting over N50,000 monthly at the factory and a gym there.
“While he was living with me, if he spoilt something and I scolded him, he would abscond from home for three days and sleep in schools. At times, I would know he was the one who damaged an item, but I would still ask him. Instead of him to talk, he would just walk away from home. I would beg people to talk to him before he would return home.”
A friend of the deceased, Morountayo Akinyetun, condemned his decision, saying it betrayed his courage and hard work.
“I refuse to believe all that everyone is saying. Haha! You that always advised people to struggle. Ha! After all your up and down; the struggle from The Polytechnic, Ibadan, down to YABATECH. Why Spartacus? What message do you want to pass across to people?
“Your life affected people positively and that was why we gave you the nickname Spartacus. You didn’t care what life gave; you were a strong and courageous man….May God forgive you because what you have done is a great sin,” Akinyetun wrote on Facebook.
Another friend, with the alias Dolly Pee Pee, wrote, “Nigga, people call you Spartacus right from ND days at#the Polytechnic, Ibadan, because you were strong and courageous. What kind of silly thought came over you to commit suicide? I’m disappointed in you. Your decision weakened my day and everybody that knows you. Why didn’t you try and ask other people what they were going through maybe you could still give thanks to God for life? I’m sad and disappointed. You were a fake Spartacus.”
Martins Chika blamed Oluwagbemileke’s friends for not acting promptly after reading his post.
He said, “No one commented on this post until they heard he had died. If he had reasonable friends who know him too well, on seeing this post, they should have got in touch or go meet him to know what’s up. I am sure he would have shared his problems somehow with a close one.
“But these days, we are more busy chasing ghosts on the Internet than being friends to our friends. RIP, brother.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the incident.(punch)
