Lol. Governorship candidate removes Transformer he donated to Community because he lost

Politicians sef! Lol. According to a report by Daily Trust, a transformer donated to the people of Sabo community in Ibadan, Oyo State by PDP governorship candidate in the state, Sen Teslim Folarin, was removed a day after the election on Sunday April 12th by some aides of the former Senate Leader.

He had donated the transformer just weeks prior to the election, but when he came 4th in the election, he probably decided the people were not loyal enough and took back his gift...:-). Continue...

From Dailytrust

An alarm raised by members of the Sabo community on sighting those removing the Transformer in the early hours of Sunday did not move the perpetrators who eventually removed the
transformer to an unknown place.

Members of the Sabo community instantly stormed the palace of the Sarkin Hausawa, Alhaji Ahmed Dahiru Zungeru where they expressed their worry, a development which compelled the Sarki to wade into the matter by calling on Folarin’s political associate within the community, Alhaji Bashiru Maiborno, for clarification.

Daily Trust gathered that it was at this stage that Baiborno spiritedly made moves to effect the return of the transformer to Sabo community, but he was rebuffed as the Sabo community vowed not to take back the transformer from Senator Folarin.

Efforts by our correspondent to get Senator Folarin’s personal reaction on the development was futile as he could not be reached.

Maiborno however insisted that the transformer was removed with a view to keeping it in a safer place. “Senator Folarin is a man of his words,” Maiborno told inquisitive journalists.

Remembering Chibok Girls - one year after they were kidnapped

Today April 14th marks the one year anniversary since the abduction of Chibok Girls. On the night of April 14th, early Tuesday April 15th, over 200 female students were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, by Boko Haram militants.

 

The kidnap sparked international condemnation and outrage which gave birth to the famous hashtag, #bringbackourgirls. But 365 days later, our girls haven't been found.

 

219 children have been selected by BBOG group to represent the girls that were kidnapped. They will lead a procession to the Ministry of Education in Abuja this morning.

Nigerian OAP Adaeze Ayoka kidnapped & allegedly raped in Ghana

Popular OAP, Adaeze Onyinyechie Ayoka, born to a Ghanaian mother and Nigerian father from Abia state, was reportedly kidnapped a few days ago and allegedly raped by her abductors. According to media reports, her colleagues said the last time they heard from her was Easter Friday but when they didn't see her throughout last week, they declared her missing yesterday Monday April 13th.

Last night, her abductors reportedly posted nude photos of Adaeze to her Whatsapp and Facebook page using her phone. People who claimed to have seen the photos claim three men, who didn't show their faces, pinned Adaeze down and opened her legs, and said they'd taken turns on her.

The alleged photos (I didn't see any) supposedly went viral on Ghanian social media space. A colleague of the victim contacted Facebook who immediately shut down her Facebook page.

Adaeze was reportedly released late yesterday/early this morning by her abductors and is currently on admission in a hospital in Ghana. Continue to read an update...

This an announcement from her colleague...

Below is an update from a Ghana website on the incident

Y Lounge Presenter, Adaeze Onyinyechie Ayoka known in media circles as Ada is currently on admission at the female/maternity ward at the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority (GPHA) Hospital in Takoradi after she was released by the abductors.

www.233times.com’s Nana Kwesi Coomson together with the Takoradi Y FM General Manager, Franklin Kofi Fiati this morning visited the Regional Crime Office at Central Police Station where the Officer revealed that he cannot give any information since any credible information should come from the Presenter herself and not anyone. He urged to team to relay information to the office to aid them in their investigations.

From the Regional Crime Office in Takoradi, the team proceeded to the GPHA Hospital where administrators did not allow anyone to see Ada. Their reason being that, the Doctor on duty, Dr. Boateng is checking up on admitted patients at the facility and the team could come back at 12pm. “She is sleeping now so even if we allow you people to see her, you cannot talk to her. She is well and has no bruises on her. Her dreadlocks are shaved, that’s the only thing I can say” the hospital told www.233times.com. According to the hospital, information circulating in media that the Police brought her to the hospital is false because the traumatized Presenter was brought by her neighbors to the hospital.

According to her colleagues, the Y Lounge Presenter was threatened by some unknown people last year. Together with Julius, the Programmes Manager of the station then, she reported the case to the police. “In the threatening text, she was told by the people that she was going to die, they will kill her” her colleague at Y FM told www.233times.com.

“The last time Ada was seen at work was the Thursday before Easter Friday. I even had a chat with her on Easter Friday, since then I haven’t heard from her and haven’t seen her too” Kwame Legend, the morning show host of Y FM told www.233times.com .

The abductors according to Ada’s Y FM colleagues circulated the nude pictures of her via her Whats App number and her Facebook. They revealed that, Giovanni, a presenter at Y FM in Accra reported the incident to Facebook and her account was blocked by Facebook administrators.

According to deep throat neighbor who wants to be anonymous, “she came home last night around 12am and she started knocking at the door. As soon as we saw her, she started asking for food and when she was given the food, she started hitting us with the food given her. She was taken to the hospital around 1am.”

When a Journalist visited Ada this dawn at the GPHA Hospital, she was asked by a nurse whether she knows the Journalist. Ada according to the Journalist looked at her and started shouting “where is my baby, that tinny little baby, she is hungry, I have to give her food. She is hungry”
