"Free Lagos" Press Briefing: Police Storm Venue, Fire Shots

There was tension at the premises of Lagos Airport Hotel in Ikeja, venue of a “Free Lagos” press conference on Thursday. The press conference is being organised by a group known as ‘Orange Movement for a Free Lagos State’ with the theme, “Setting Lagos free from Bourdillon Bondage, #OtogeLagos”.

The conveners of the group comprise of former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba, Spokesperson of Afenifere Group, Mr. Yinka Odumakin and Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Why is an APC man joining others to Free Lagos from Tinubu?

While some participants had already seated inside the Oranmiyan Hall where the event was to hold, scores of other participants who stormed the Airport Hotel gate were stopped by a detachment of armed policemen mobilised to the scene.

The policemen did not allow anybody to come inside the hall. In the ensuing drama, policemen fired several shots to disperse the crowd with people running helter-skelter within the premises.

It was not clear while policemen in about 10 vehicles stormed the venue, but sources said the action was to prevent the press conference from holding.

But the state’s police spokesman, Chike Oti, said the command got an intelligence report that some hoodlums were trying to hijack the press briefing.

He said the police cannot stop anybody from using the Airport Hotel facilities being a business environment, adding that the command is also obliged to protect lives and properties of the citizens.

As at the time of filing this report, the participants have vacated the hall and are currently hanging around the premises as the drama continues.

One of the conveners, Comrade Mark Adebayo said they would sue the police for the siege.

"My Husband's Life Is In Danger" - Wife of Atiku's Spokesman Cries Out

Recall that Mr. Austin Usman Okai, Atiku's campaign spokesperson, Kogi state chapter, was abducted by masked gun men on the eve of the presidential and national assembly elections. It is over a week now and the where about of the man is yet unknown.

Speaking to journalists on Thursday, his wife lamented about the nonchalance of elders in the state to intervene and help find her husband and probably rescue him.

The gun men trailed him to his house in Abuja, flashed ID cards believed to be of the DSS.

They would later tell his wife that they were acting on the Kogi state government's order and whisked him away in a van. All efforts to locate the young politician have been fruitless so far.

His friends and family members and a lot of Kogites have launched a #FreeAustinOkai campaign on social media.

"I am so scared and worried about the safety of my husband," Mrs. Bridget Austin Okai said.

Body Cameras Expose How Buhari's Election Was Rigged

Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election, is confident of victory when he formally institutes an election petition case against President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC)

One major reason for this is the wide-ranging availability of video evidence 

to back up his claims of non-voting, voter intimidation, ballot box snatching and destruction, illegal vote cancellation and deliberate voter disenfranchisement.

Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), declared Buhari the winner of the election at exactly 4:39am after polling APC 15,191,847 votes to Atiku’s 11,262,978.

However, Atiku has already rejected the result, alleging, among others, the suppression of votes in his strongholds — an action he described as “so apparent and amateurish” and one that makes him “ashamed as a Nigerian that such could be allowed to happen”.

He consequently rejected “the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election” and vowed to challenge it in court.

“We’re going to court; that’s the major thing we can do now except we’re looking towards chaos, and nobody wants chaos,” one of his associates, who requested not to be named, told SaharaReporters.

“And again, there’s a lot wrong with the election figures. Cancelled votes in Kano were over 2million; then the difference between accredited voters and actual voters is over 700,000 there as well, which shows there are a lot of discrepancies in the figures. We are still working with some of the documents, and I know that for like three days they’ve been gathering more and more.”

He also said a lot of the claims being made by Atiku and the PDP were backed up by video tapings, as the party prepared in advance for the rigging by sending agents with hidden cameras to the field.

“There are a lot of videos, of course, because there were body cameras on some of the agents that went to the polling units and ward collation centres,” he said.

“Those ones will be tendered as evidence; and there are some other ones I won’t want you to be privy to for now.

“Atiku has set forth to go to the Supreme Court, so he is not even thinking of the tribunal. Of course we’ll start with the tribunal but we know that once the tribunal gives a judgement, the President will definitely appeal against it if the judgement is against him. The game plan Atiku has given us is for the Supreme Court. He is going all out; he is going totally for it. Atiku is not someone that will start something and will stop halfway without seeing it off till the very end. He’s going all out.”

Man Seeks Divorce, Alleges Frequent Beating By Wife

An Ibadan-based man, Samuel Adedeji, on Thursday, told a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan to terminate the year-old union between him and his wife, Temiloluwa over threat to his life.

In his petition to the court, Adedeji who lived at Ologuneru area of Ibadan accused his wife of frequently beating him and distracting him from his ministry.

“I think that I actually got it wrong by not making proper spiritual consultations before I went to the altar with Temiloluwa as a husband.

“For too long, I have had to cope with all sorts of humiliation, insults, abuses in addition to emotional and psychological torture which I have often suffered from her.


“When Temiloluwa’s troublemaking reached its peak, she started beating me and tearing off my clothes.

“Recently, she gave me three dirty slaps in the night and was attempting to stab me to death that same night when I had to run for my dear life.

“Temiloluwa has no regard for anybody.

“Now, she has left my home and I need to move on too.

“There is no more love between both of us, Samuel said.

However, the respondent was conspicuously absent in the court when she was called to respond to the allegations levelled against her.

The court’s bailiff informed the Arbitrators, led by the President, Chief Ademola Odunade that he had served notices of court hearing on Temiloluwa and that she deliberately ignored the notices.

After careful consideration, Odunade dissolved the union, citing threat to life as the reason.

He ordered that the copy of the judgment be served on the respondent in order for her to be aware of the latest in the case.

Four Ebola Patients Missing After Attack On Eastern Congo Clinic

Four patients with Ebola escaped when a clinic in eastern Congo was attacked by unknown assailants, the Ministry of Health said today.

“Four patients confirmed to have the deadly virus who fled during the attack are still missing,’’ the ministry said, as well as others who were suspected of being infected.

The ministry said that the attack was the second on a health clinic within a few days, as aid agencies and government battle to contain the virus in an area rife with militia groups and public distrust.

So far 553 people have died of Ebola in the outbreak in eastern Congo, which began shortly after the country’s government in June declared an end to another outbreak in the west of the country.


Authorities and aid groups have been struggling to do their jobs in the dangerous eastern region where numerous militias operate, most fighting over the Central African country’s rich natural resources.

According to the health ministry, over 84,000 people have been vaccinated against the virus since August.

Ebola is a highly infectious disease that causes a fever and often leads to massive internal bleeding and death.

Drake's Father Says I’m 100% With R Kelly + He’s Supporting Jussie Smollett Too

Dennis Graham, Drake’s father was chatting about his new single to Variety when he was asked to give his thoughts on R&B superstar R Kelly and Empire star Smollett.

'He’s a good friend of mine. I wish him the best. I hate that it’s happening to him. There’s a reason why women come out after the fact. He has my support 100%,' Graham said of Kelly who was released from custody on Monday after posting $100,00 bail.

Hours before his release, Kelly, 52, pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of aggravated criminal s-x abuse against four victims, three of them minors.


In the controversy surrounding Smollett, Graham said that the 36-year-old actor 'has been misunderstood'.

'As a matter of fact, they know that. That story that came out about Jussie in Chicago is not true about Jussie. Jussie is a friend of mine, also. They have totally reconstructed his story,' Graham said.

Smollett was arrested last week and charged with filing a false police report of a hate crime involving two Nigerian brothers.

Photos: Woman Covers Her Face In Period Blood To Show They're 'Beautiful' & 'Powerful'

Demetra Nyx spent years hiding her periods from boyfriends and being extremely embarrassed every time she came on. But when a change in her contraception meant she had to start keeping a closer eye on her cycle, she started to see things very differently.

She grew to love her time of the month, saying it's "beautiful and powerful", and wanted to share her new appreciation with women around the world.

She started collecting her blood and one day had an "impulse" to smear it across her face and share photos online.


She said: "We hold so much shame in our bodies, and most of us do not realise it until we intentionally explore it. Our periods are an incredibly magical time of month that holds immense power, and our society keeps us away from that as much as possible.

"I am endlessly fascinated by my body and its patterns. Many people talk about the parts of the cycle being like the seasons, with the energy of ovulation being like summer, and the energy of menstruation being like winter. I think that's generally true, but I've also found it's very individual.

"Sharing pictures of blood on my face and body was just an impulse I was creating a series to help women connect with their menstrual cycle, and I thought it would be fun. We can also do things like paint with it or pour it into the earth. I believe it's a beautiful thing to get comfortable with touching your own blood.

"There is a tremendous amount of power in learning that we can experience pleasure from the parts of our bodies we deem in society as 'disgusting'. If we can love the unlovable, all of life opens up to us. We spend a lot of time learning to control our bodies; instead I believe in learning from our bodies.

"My blood to me has become fun, beautiful, and powerful, and playing with it brings me closer to myself."

Demetra, who lives in Los Angeles and works as a s-x coach, had her first period when she was 12.

Oprah Winfrey to Interview Michael Jackson Accusers

Oprah Winfrey will interview Michael Jackson‘s accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck after HBO’s two-part documentary Leaving Neverland, airs on March 3 and 4, reports Rolling Stone. Both men say Jackson abused them when they were children.

The one-hour special, dubbed Oprah Winfrey Presents: After Neverland, will air simultaneously on HBO and Oprah’s own TV network OWN on March 4 at 10 p.m. EST immediately following the second and final part of the Leaving Neverland documentary. The special was taped before an audience that also included survivors of sexual abuse.


Leaving Neverland premiered last month at the Sundance Film Festival, and last week, HBO unveiled the official trailer of the documentary, which follows Wade Robson and James Safechuck as they recount childhood abuse they claim to have suffered at the hands of Michael Jackson. Both men explain how their experiences with the late pop superstar, who passed away in 2009, have affected them.

Since Leaving Neverland‘s premiere, Michael Jackson’s estate has referred to the film as “tabloid character assassination,” and calling both Safechuck and Robson “perjurers.” The Jackson estate also filed a $100 million lawsuit against HBO and Time Warner, claiming that the network violated a non-disparagement clause from a 1992 contract. Additionally, director of the documentary Dan Reed, also said that he’s received death threats because of the project.

Protest In Greek As Nigerian Man, Ebuka Mamasubek Is Allegedly Murdered By Police [Photos]

A group of individuals on Tuesday, February 26th, clashed with riot police officers outside a precinct in Omonia, following a march in central Athens to protest the death of a Nigerian migrant earlier this month.

According to media reports, 34-year-old Ebuka Mamasubek, a father of two suffered beating at the hands of officers prior to his collapse in the waiting room of the Omonia police precinct on February 8.

A Greek man who saw the police brutality against Ebuka in front of of his shop, shouted at the police to stop beating him.

The march, organized among others by the Movement Against Racism and the Fascist Threat (KEERFA), started in Propylea at 6 p.m on Tuesday.

A statement by an organization, United Women from Africa, reads:

"A few days ago a man from Nigeria, from our community, was murdered at Omonoia square in Athens, by the Greek police. We must march on the streets and shout for justice.

We must do something now before more lives are lost. This is not the first time something like this happens. We already know of two other people from our community who have been recently murdered by the Greek police. And unfortunately many more have lost their lives through the years and those cases remain unknown.

On a daily basis, we are informed of beatings of people of African descent by the police which leave them on the street to die. These murders are silenced.

Ebuka, was the father of two children, one of whom was newly-born. His wife, children and community are now mourning. We stand in solidarity with his family and his loved ones.

The police does not protect us. As the African Community in Greece we constantly feel that our lives are in danger. We demand justice for Ebuka!"

Okocha ‘Settles’ Income Tax Brouhaha With Lagos State Government

Former Super Eagles captain, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha yesterday said he was never contacted over his alleged failure to pay income tax before a Lagos court issued a bench warrant for his arrest.

Okocha spoke for the first time yesterday when he told The Guardian in a telephone chat that he was never contacted by anybody regarding income taxes. “I only read about it on the pages of newspapers.

No one contacted me. As a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I know very well that nobody is above the law. But honestly speaking, I was never contacted by anybody on issues before the court order.”


The former Bolton of England midfielder, and member of Super Eagles squad to Tunisia ’94 and Atlanta ’96 Olympics, however hinted that the issue had been settled. “It has been settled, but I won’t be able to give you details,” he stated.

Okocha was taken to court by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice on a three-count charge bordering on failure to furnish return of income.

Presidency To Atiku: We Are Ready For You

Secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha says President Muhammadu Buhari and his supporters are not worried about Atiku Abubakar’s plans to challenge the result of Saturday’s presidential election in court.

Atiku has rejected the outcome of the election, describing it as the worst in Nigeria’s history. But Mustapha said there is nothing to worry about.

“We are not jittery at all because the process was open and transparent. It was a credible election and we will continue to savour the victory. In the process too, we will extend the hand of friendship for the purpose of nation building and reconciliation,” Boss, who is also from Adamawa state like Atiku, said.

“Our electoral act and the constitution have both provided a window for whoever is dissatisfied with the process of election to seek redress. That is the path and we will encourage them to go along that path.”

The Election Was Fraught With 513,214 Lapses, say CSOs

The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room has alleged a 513,214 discrepancy in the number of accredited voters and ballots cast in 27 states during the presidential election that held last weekend.

In its fourth interim report, issued by the Executive Director of Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), Clement Nwankwo, on the collation and announcement of the poll results on Tuesday, they said results announced by some state returning officers were disturbing.

Against the backdrop that there were simultaneous accreditation and voting, they noted that a cursory look at some of the figures on accredited voters and total votes cast showed lapses.

According to the CSOs, as at 6:47pm on Tuesday, the gulf was 513,214 in 27 states, including Nasarawa, Kogi, Adamawa, Edo and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The situation room had called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to “transparently address this confusion before the completion of result tabulation.”

The findings indicate a lack of clarity in the rationale for cancellation of polls, noting that the CSOs recorded 1,084,358 voided votes across 1175 polling units in 18 states.

“The pattern of this cancellation requires some close interrogation to show fairness and objectivity,” the report added.

The reasons provided for the cancelled votes, the groups said, included over-voting, card reader malfunctioning and violence. They called on the electoral body to provide clarification on compliance with its guidelines regarding cancellation of elections.

On claims of duress by INEC staff, the CSOs observed that the officials and ad hoc workers had alleged harassment and intimidation in the course of the collation process and undue pressure during announcement of results.

The election monitoring unit noted that INEC failed to publicly acknowledge the occurrences and take measures to safeguard its personnel.

While urging Nigerians to remain peaceful, the organisations called on aggrieved political parties and candidates to seek redress through legal channels.

Nwankwo stated that the groups deployed observers in all 8,809 electoral wards nationwide and received reports of monitors being restricted from several ward collation centres.
