Ex-Ondo Deputy Governor Narrates How His Daughter Was Killed For Ritual

Posted: 09 Jul 2018 01:00 PM PDT

Khadijah

The father of the deceased Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko final year student, Khadijah, who was reportedly killed for ritual purposes, Alhaji Lasisi Oluboyo, has told the Guardian , that he has resigned to fate over the death of Khadijah, who was his first child.

Khadijah, was gruesomely murdered under mysterious circumstances by her Abuja-based boyfriend, Adeyemi Alao, in Oke-Aro area of Akure metropolis.

The bereaved Oluboyo, who confirmed to journalists that her daughter was killed for ritual purpose on Monday, revealed  that the family discovered she was missing on Monday, July 2, 2018.

"Somebody called us that she was missing. We started looking for her. We got in touch with her friends in the school. The closest friend told us that they finished lecture on Thursday. They took the same motorcycle to their houses.

"On Friday, they had no lecture, when the friend got to the lecture room on Monday and did not see her, she started calling her numbers."

The saddened father, who is the immediate past Deputy Governor of the state, disclosed he sent "the money for her feeding on Friday, the usual thing is that when she got bank alert, she would call me back to thank me.

"But this day, I did not get a response from her. I told her mother and she started calling her. The phones were switched off. On Monday, we started calling her number and it did not get through. Later the phone rang, they picked it and we were hearing an underground sound.

"The phone switched off again. Later we got a text that the mouthpiece of the phone is not good and that she would call when she changed the sim card to another phone. With that, we thought that everything was settled. We were waiting anxiously for the call."

Oluboyo narrated that Khadijah's friend even contacted the family that she too had been calling her number to no avail, adding that "the same person sent a message to that her friend that she was on her way coming."

The man said in establishing the relationship between late Khadijat and Alao, "It was then I got to know that she came to Akure to meet that boy. From what the father told us, there is no doubt they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

"They met each other at College of Education, Ondo. When we started looking for the girl, the father called me, he said he is the father of Adeyemi, he said my daughter came to their house on Thursday and left on Friday morning.

"He said she used to come in the past but stopped suddenly, that she was the type he wants his son to marry. I said we were not talking of marriage and that we were looking for her. The man called and started praying. When we called, the boy said she came on Thursday and left on Friday."

While exposing the ruse kidnap scenario to cover up for her six days disappearance, the ex-Deputy Governor recounted that "my daughter had four numbers. She had two handsets, one with two sims, one with one sim.

"The old number she was using was kept in her bag. What happened was that when we tracked the first number, it went off immediately after Roadblock at Owo. The second number went off after Oba-Akoko.

"That gave us the impression that she was travelling and that she was going back to school. We got it on good authority that she came to Akure. That gave us belief that she was going back.

"When they sent a message that we should wait for negotiation team, we discovered it was one of the numbers in her bag that they used to send the message to us. It was a perfect arrangement to buy time."

Revealing how the mysterious disappearance which led to the death of her daughter was unravelled, he narrated that "when we tried our best, we organized prayers. When we finished with the prayers, he got the hint and said he cannot continue.

"He rushed out and confessed to his immediate sister. He said this is what I did; I cannot cope, go and help me carry sack. The sister rushed to the father and narrated the story."

Contrary to widespread speculations that Alao just dumped the decomposing body of the victim under his bed, Oluboyo affirmed that "the boy dug a grave in his room, buried her and put his foam on the grave and was sleeping on the grave. She was not found under the bed, the boy has no bed.

"The boy killed her for ritual purposes. It is not that the girl was not well-fed. The lady did not go there on her own volition. To me, I don't want anything. God's judgment is more than all the human's verdict. The danger is that if you allow him to go scot-free, he would do it again."

Kemi Adeosun

The NYSC has given a Press Release on the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun's  NYSC certificate scandal; PremiumTimes reports.

It could be recalled that Premium Times had an exclusive story published on Saturday detailing how Mrs Adeosun skipped the mandatory national service and forged an exemption certificate of the service to cover for it.

The online News platform had been on the matter and on the 8th of June, delivered a Freedom of Information request to the NYSC headquarters which is yet to be responded to.

The FoI Act mandates agencies to respond to requests within one week or write to seek extension if unable to comply within the stipulated time.

However the NYSC has released a press statement according to the Premium Times.

See  full text of the NYSC's statement below:

NYSC Yet To Confirm Kemi Adeosun’s Certificate Genuity

Posted: 09 Jul 2018 11:13 AM PDT

Kemi Adeosun

Mrs Kemi Adeosun, Nigeria Finance Minister's NYSC Certificate genuity is yet to be confirmed by the NYSC authorities as reported exclusively by PREMIUM TIMES in this interview with the Mrs Adeyemi, a Director with NYSC.

See full report of the interview below as published by PREMIUM TIMES:

The National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) has reacted to the exclusive story published by PREMIUM TIMES detailing how finance minister, Kemi Adeosun, skipped the mandatory national service and used a forged certificate to cover for it.

The story has generated outrage from Nigerians who called for an official investigation and asked the minister to resign from her post or be fired by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Details published by this newspaper on Monday show that the certificate is among the set of documents submitted by the minister for her appointment and screening in 2015.

Speaking for the first time since the news broke, NYSC's Director of Public Relations, Adenike Adeyemi, said the service is working towards responding to PREMIUM TIMES's request for verification of Mrs Adeosun's certificate.

This newspaper first wrote to the NYSC on April 16, 2018 requesting for the verification. After weeks of silence and promises, the paper's editors decided to re-channel the request into a Freedom of Information request.

This followed disappointment suffered by journalists working on the story when the formal letter that was to be issued on June 1 by the corps was suddenly withheld.

Our reporter who was at the NYSC headquarters on Thursday, May 31, was told to come back the next day to pick up the organisation's response to our letter, following scrutiny that afternoon that confirmed that "Folakemi Adeosun" was not in the register.

However, on arriving on Friday, June 1 to pick the response, a new decision was announced: the NYSC officials said the verification has been channelled to the organisation's ICT unit to check its "electronic database."

PREMIUM TIMES had made a payment of N2,000 through federal government's Remita platform. The Remita receipt was later swapped with an official receipt of the NYSC at the organisation's Account Department. The receipt is numbered 711133.

Frustrated by the sudden back-tracking, on June 8, this newspaper delivered a Freedom of Information request to the NYSC headquarters which is yet to be responded to.


The FoI Act mandates agencies to respond to requests within one week or write to seek for extension if unable to comply with the stipulated time.

But speaking to a PREMIUM TIMES reporter on Monday, Mrs Adeyemi attributed the delay to the need by the organisation to "get a little more time to get the records straight."

Below is the text of the director's interview with our reporter.

PREMIUM TIMES: What is the NYSC's response to our request for verification of the certificate being paraded by the finance minister, Kemi Adeosun?

MRS ADEYEMI: You have sent in a request wanting to know, subjecting that certificate to verification. I agree with you, the request has been received at the NYSC headquarters, and you would want the NYSC to verify that certificate which you said was submitted by the honourable minister. The NYSC as a public institution and organisation where some information is domiciled for public interest will definitely not hoard any information. But whatever we are releasing from this organisation, from our tables, must definitely be subjected to every test so that when we say this is verified or not verified we stand by our words. Your request has been received and is being worked upon and the moment the verification process is concluded you will be given the right response. At no point in time will the NYSC, being a public institution, not respond to public enquiry. Any enquiry will be responded to and, definitely, everything that would come from our organisation would have been subjected to every test of integrity and having passed the test of integrity, which we uphold very dearly, the response will be given. You may just need to give a little more time so that the verification process goes through every stage and at the end of the day when anything is being said on the verification we can stand by it. We can say we have done every test of integrity.

PREMIUM TIMES: Why is it taking this long?

MRS ADEYEMI: There are occasions when you need to…we are talking about records of the past. There are occasions where some information you may have to search very well and through different places; particularly too, the organisation moved sometimes from Area 3 (in Abuja) to the present headquarters. So there are various times when (for) some information, you need a little extra time to get your record straight. But we don't want ever to give out information when every test has not been carried out. Just give us a little more time and we will get back to you.

''We Have Exceeded Our Promises To Nigerians'' - Garba Shehu Speaks On PMB's Govt

Posted: 09 Jul 2018 08:21 AM PDT

The Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said that going by the numbers, the Buhari administration has exceeded its campaign promises to Nigerians. He disclosed this while speaking with State House correspondents, 

"Government cannot create all the jobs obviously but it is providing the enabling environment for the private sector and everyone else to create jobs. The Rice Farmers Association has credited this administration for the creation of 6 million new jobs in the area of agriculture. That is enormous. In the constructive industry, so much money is been spent and they are rehiring staff that were formerly laid off. If you add all these numbers, the APC administration under President Buhari would have exceeded the promises that it gave to Nigerians" Garba said

Any Benue Indigene Who Votes For Buhari In 2019 Will Be Cursed - Moses Mwarga Aji Declares

Posted: 09 Jul 2018 04:44 AM PDT

The President, National Association of Benue State Indigenes, NABENSI, Moses Mwarga Aji, has stated that nay Bunue State indigene, who votes for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections will be cursed.

Moses made this statement over the weekend, while speaking on the arraignment of former Benue State governor,  Mr. Gabriel Suswam, by the Federal Government, over alleged illegal possession of arms.

Aji in his statement also challenged Buhari to withdraw the remarks he made in his inaugural speech, that he belongs to everybody; told reporters in Kaduna that President Buhari's action and body language has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he belongs to the Fulani extraction only.

NABENSI President who argued that a lot of people have been carrying arms illegally in the country without any arrest by the federal government's security agencies, lamented and described the arrest and arraignment of the former governor of Benue State as unfortunate.

"I think president Buhari should go back and withdraw his Inaugural speech that" I'm for nobody, I'm for everybody". President Buhari has shown clearly that he belongs to the Fulani extraction and apart from that he does not consider any other ethnic group in this county outside the Muslims and Fulani herdsmen," he said.

"A lot of people have been carrying arms illegally moving around with sophisticated weapons and nothing is happening to them.

"Where did the Fulani people get AK47 from, and moving around, busy killing people every now and then but nothing happened to them yet Buhari did not comment.

"How many arms were caught with Susuam. They are victimizing him because he's a staunch member of PDP. But the prayers of the masses will guide him and protect him irrespective of the frustration and threat being meted out to him as former governor.

"A lot of people possess arms illegally, a lot of people are coming in with arms illegally and nothing is happening to them. Nobody has questioned them. Our borders are porous and people are getting arms in anyhow, why must it be the former governor of Benue State that's illegal. What Federal Government is doing to him will make him more popular and attract more people's sympathy with him politically," he explained.

Aji enjoined indigenes of Benue State to remain calm, be vigilante and peaceful, saying there would be no development without peace.

"But if you're push to the wall, you have no option than to react. I said this without fear of favour. Buhari has shown to the entire world that he is unfair.

"Miyetti Allah have been making provocative statements and utterances and later execute them. Can anyone compare lives of human beings with cow. Miyetti Allah have been reacting that it was a retaliatory killings and nobody or DSS arrested them.

"When over 200 were killed in Plateau, nobody was arraigned, it happened in Benue, Miyetti Allah claimed responsibility and nothing happen to their leaders.

"January first, Many were killed in Benue, January 13th, Miyetti Allah came out and said there will be more bloodshed in Benue, and it comes to pass but nobody arrested their leaders the claimants, so how can anybody say Buhari has been fair to Benue people who voted him massively against their Christian brother, Goodluck Jonathan?

"Let me send him a message to him, that Buhari has lost in the entire Benue State, nobody will vote for him in 2019. And anyone who vote for him in 2019 will be cursed," he stated.
