Five Feared Dead In Clash Between Two Osun Communities, As Governor Adeleke Gives ‘Shoot-At-Sight’ Order

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has issued a shoot-at-sight order to soldiers and other security operatives deployed to Ifon and Ilobu towns to quench the communal clash between the towns.

The age long hostility assumed a dangerous dimension on Wednesday evening when houses were burnt and other properties destroyed.

Several people have been reportedly killed in the clash between the two neighboring towns over land dispute.

As a result of the dispute, residents of the towns have abandoned their homes and moved to neighboring communities to avoid being killed.

Although no official figure has been released on the number of people killed, residents said over five people lost their lives.

Reacting to the development, Governor Adeleke called on traditional rulers in the state to ensure peace in their towns and prevent communal clashes.

A resident, one Muideen Azeez, said all his properties were burnt down but he escaped death.

 

October 6, 2023 APC Says Atiku Is Suffering From Serial Electoral Losses Over Allegation That President Tinubu Forged Certificate

APC Says Atiku Is Suffering From Serial Electoral Losses Over Allegation That President Tinubu Forged Certificate

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the push by the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, for the nullification of President Bola Tinubu’s win, as that of someone who is suffering from multiple electoral losses.

Atiku, who lost in the 2023 election and also to Muhammadu Buhari in 2019, had addressed the press after the Chicago State University (CSU) released President Tinubu’s academic credentials which he earlier demanded on the suspicion that the Nigerian leader submitted fake documents for the 2023 exercise.

But speaking on a monitored programme hours after Atiku’s briefing, the Spokesperson of the APC, Felix Morka, faulted the former Vice President’s address.

According to him, Atiku and his team had filed a suit to stop Tinubu’s election on the basis that he did not attend Chicago State University and not a case of forgery as claimed by the PDP candidate.

The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 polls, Atiku Abubakar, has said he would not stop what he called his fight for “justice”, in the certificate forgery saga involving President Bola Tinubu unless the Supreme Court rules against him.

The former Vice President equally called on all Nigerians to join his quest in the fight in the interest of the nation.

Callers on Inspiration FM political programme, All out Politics, spoke on the case and Atiku’s conference.

October 5, 2023 Supreme Court’s Judgment Date Set For December 15 On Nnamdi Kanu’s Case

Supreme Court’s Judgment Date Set For December 15 On Nnamdi Kanu’s Case

The eagerly awaited judgment regarding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been scheduled for December 15, as announced by the Supreme Court.

This decision comes after a protracted legal battle that has captured national and international attention.

In October 2022, the Court of Appeal in Abuja ruled in favour of Kanu's release, instructing the Federal Government to free him from detention. However, dissatisfied with this verdict, the Federal Government decided to escalate the matter to the highest court in the land.

During today's proceedings, a distinguished five-member panel presided over by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun announced the date for the pivotal ruling. The courtroom was packed with anticipation as lawyers, observers, and supporters of both sides awaited this critical decision.

Mike Ozekhome, SAN, who serves as counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, passionately pleaded with the court to order his client's immediate release. He also urged the court to impose a significant punitive cost on the Federal Government for their actions.

"We urge my lords to uphold our Cross-Appeal to do substantial justice to this matter and to the Respondent who has been in detention since June 29, 2021, even after the lower court ordered his release and that he should never be prosecuted again on the same counts. They are still holding him unconstitutionally. We pray, my Lords, to deliver justice and use this case, just like in Ojukwu vs State, to demonstrate that no man or government should be above the law," Ozekhome passionately stated.

On the other side, the Federal Government lawyer implored the Supreme Court to overturn the judgment that had ordered Kanu's release. He urged the court to mandate the resumption of his trial before the Federal High Court in Abuja on terrorism-related charges.

The fate of Nnamdi Kanu now hangs in the balance, with December 15 marking a crucial day in his quest for freedom. As the nation watches with bated breath, the Supreme Court's decision will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the ongoing legal saga surrounding Kanu's detention and trial.
