Coup Leaders Confirms House Arrest Of Gabon President

In the wake of a coup d'état announcement, Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba has been placed under house arrest, with military officers confirming the detention of one of his sons on charges of "treason."

This development comes in the aftermath of the military officers' government takeover, as disclosed earlier.

State TV broadcasted a statement by the military officers who revealed that President Ali Bongo is currently confined to his residence, accompanied by his family and medical professionals. This revelation highlights a significant shift in the political landscape of Gabon.

The military officers, operating under the banner of the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions, had earlier taken to national television to explain their rationale for seizing power from President Ali Bongo. They pointed to a series of profound crises in institutions, politics, economics, and society, asserting that the coup was deemed "necessary" to facilitate progress for the West African nation.

In a translated excerpt from their nationwide address originally delivered in French, the junta emphasised, "Our beautiful country, Gabon, has always been a haven of peace. However, today, the country faces a grave institutional, political, economic, and social crisis. As a result, the general elections held on August 26, 2023, along with the incomplete results, are invalidated. The nation's borders have been temporarily closed."

This development marks a pivotal moment in Gabon's history, with events poised to reshape the nation's trajectory. More details....

Real Warri Pikin Shares Weight Loss Journey And Responds To Critics

Anita Asuoha, better known by her stage name Real Warri Pikin, has candidly shared her journey through a weight loss surgery due to pressing health concerns.

The popular comedian disclosed these intimate details on her YouTube channel, shedding light on the motivations and challenges that led her to undergo the surgical procedure.

In her revelation, Real Warri Pikin disclosed that her husband played a pivotal role in encouraging her to pursue weight loss surgery as her health had started to suffer due to excessive weight. She revealed that she was grappling with a medical condition known as atherosclerosis, characterized by the narrowing and hardening of arteries. This ailment caused her to experience dizziness, shortness of breath, and joint pain.

The comic artist explained that she initially attempted to manage her weight through gym workouts and adopting a healthier diet back in 2017, but these efforts did not yield the desired results. As January 2023 rolled around, her health struggles intensified, and she even found herself battling depression.

In her own words, "So my husband, Ikechukwu, insisted that I undergo weight loss surgery because he couldn't bear the thought of losing me. It was an incredibly challenging period for me. This was around January 2023. I was torn, returning to the gym, working out, and eating right, yet I struggled with controlling my eating habits. It became a daunting time for me, grappling with whether to proceed with weight loss surgery to improve my health."

After considerable contemplation, Real Warri Pikin mustered the courage to make the choice that was best for her well-being – opting for weight loss surgery. She emphasized that arriving at this decision was an arduous and nerve-wracking journey.

She said, "I was attempting the natural route; everyone around me had already reached a verdict except me. It was an incredibly trying phase for me. Finally, one day, I woke up and said, 'Baby, I'm ready; let's do this.' I took the most challenging life decision – I underwent weight loss surgery."

On August 30, 2023, she took to her verified Instagram account to share a snapshot of her transformation, juxtaposing images of herself before and after the surgery. Expressing her newfound happiness, she strongly addressed critics who had taken issue with her choices, urging them to empathize by putting themselves in her shoes.

Real Warri Pikin's openness about her weight loss journey not only sheds light on her struggles but also serves as an inspiration to those dealing with similar health concerns. Her story is a testament to the strength it takes to make challenging decisions for one's well-being, and her transformation is a testament to the power of resilience and determination.

Job Racketing Probe: Reps Refutes Allegation Of Collecting Bribe From MDAs

Yusuf Gagdi, the Ad-hoc committee chairman tasked with probing job racketeering within Federal Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), has addressed the recent allegations of bribery and extortion involving a committee member.

In light of these allegations, the committee has summoned all Vice Chancellors from Federal Universities to appear today. Their appearance aims to provide documentary evidence relating to the claims of bribery and extortion attributed to a member of the Ad-hoc Committee.

Yusuf Gagdi delivered this notice during the continuation of the investigative hearing focused on job racketeering across more than 900 MDAs. As part of the proceedings, Gagdi dismissed allegations of extortion by certain MDAs.

Gagdi, in response to an online report that implicated lawmakers in the extortion of funds from agencies, emphasised that it was unjust to label all 37 members of the Ad-hoc Committee as 'corrupt' based on the actions of a few. He underscored that the committee remains resolute and undeterred by any attempts at orchestrated defamation.

The summoning of the Vice Chancellors and the ongoing investigation highlights the committee's commitment to addressing these allegations head-on and ensuring transparency, accountability, and integrity in the operations of the MDA.
