Another lecturer, Dr. Victoria Adeniyi, has passed on.

The death was the third of such incident that would occur in the university in a little over one week.

The late Adeniyi, until her death, was the acting Head, Department of Dramatic Arts of the university.

Besides Dr Nicholas Igbokwe, who was found dead in his office penultimate Friday, the university also lost Prof Jerome Elusiyan on Friday, December 13, when he was shot dead by gunmen.

Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities, OAU chapter, Dr Adeola Egbedokun described the death of the lecturers as a “sad development.”

Former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, has denied rumor of his death.

He said he is very much alive and bubbling.

Babangida’s spokesman, Kassim Afegbua, in a statement on Sunday condemned the report which he described as fake news, noting that it was the third time such an incident would occur in 2019.

The former military president’s aide was, however, hopeful that the Social Media Bill before the National Assembly would tackle the spread of fake news in the country.

To prove how well he is doing, Afegbua said the elder statesman attended to some of his friends and associates who visited him on Sunday at his Minna Hilltop mansion in Niger State.

The Adamawa State High Court sitting in Yola has ordered the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to liaise with the INTERPOL, to arrest a former Minister Of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

This is just as the Court presided over by Justice Nathan Musa, sentenced two INEC officials to 21 years imprisonment each for receiving a bribe of N36m from Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, during 2015 general election.

The convicts, Ibrahim Mohammed and Sahabo Iya-Hamman were arraigned before the court by EFCC alongside Madueke still at large, under the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000.

The EFCC had filed a three count-charge against them for allegedly deploying over N362million derived from a $115m slush fund to influence the outcome of the 2015 presidential elections in favour of the candidate of the then ruling People’s Democratic Party.

The Lagos state house of assembly says it will not repeal the state’s pension law permitting former governors and other public office holders to receive juicy pensions from state coffers.

Tunde Braimoh, Chairman, House Committee on Information and Strategy, said that Lagos Assembly would not go the way of the Zamfara Assembly which recently repealed pension law for its former governors.

A Federal High Court in Lagos had ordered the Federal Government to recover pensions collected by former governors now serving as ministers and members of the National Assembly.

The court also directed the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to challenge the legality of states’ pension laws permitting former governors and other ex-public officials to receive such pensions.

Tunde Braimoh, however, faulted the court ruling that ordered Malami to take immediate legal action towards the repeal of the laws.
