Mohbad’s Inquest Must Not End Up Like Sylvester Oromoni’s – Olajengbesi

Pelumi Olajengbesi, the Abuja-based human rights lawyer, has sent a message to police authorities.

He urged police authorities and the Lagos State Government not to bungle the ongoing investigation into the controversial and grisly death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

In a statement on Friday, Olajengbesi of Abuja-based law firm, Law Corridor, said the inquest into the harrowing death of the talented musician must not end up like previous investigations into similar incidents where justice wasn’t served.

The rights lawyer recalled similar controversial and unfortunate incidents, such as that of 12-year-old precocious Sylvester Oromoni Jr., a boarding student at Dowen College in Lekki, who died under questionable conditions in 2021.

In the same year, Olajengbesi said 14-year-old Karen-Happuch Akpagher, a student of Premiere Academy in Abuja, died controversially after her mother, Vihimga, said doctors discovered that she was raped and condom left in her private part.

Olajengbesi said, “Many other cases of similar unfortunate incidents abound all over Nigeria, but justice cannot be said to have been dispensed in most cases, especially in the cases of Sylvester and Karen-Happuch.

“Let it not be said that after the autopsy conducted on Mohbad’s remains on Thursday, September 21, 2023, justice won’t eventually be served by the 13-man police investigation committee on the matter.

“Of note, the cases of Sylvester, Karen-Happuch, and Mohbad bring to the fore, the dangers and failure of not addressing the anti-social behaviour of bullying and cultism in our society. Greater penalties should be imposed to deter any future repeat of these crude and unacceptable behaviours.

“In the case of Mohbad, fingers have been pointed in the direction of certain persons. The police authorities and the Lagos State Government should not spare these persons in their probe.

“The investigation must be thoroughly done. Culprits should be made to face the music, no matter how highly placed or connected they are. There should be no scared cows.

“Beyond playing to the gallery because of public outcry, the police must deliver. Justice must be served. For social misbehaviour only abounds when justice is asleep. And this is dangerous for our nation.”

Mohbad: Confiscate Naira Marley, Sam Larry’s Properties – Group Tells FG, Security Agencies

Naira Marley

Save the Poor and Needy Charity Initiative (SPANCI), a human rights advocacy group, has sent a message to the Federal Government.

The group enjoined the Federal Government and security agencies to confiscate properties and freeze bank accounts belonging to Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, and Samson Erinfolabi Balogun, popularly known as Sam Larry, over allegations of being behind the death of Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

It also advised that the duo of Naira Marley and Sam Larry should be declared wanted.

Mohbad died last week under questionable circumstances.

President of the group, Comrade Yemi Bello made these calls in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Friday.

He urged the government to act fast after Sam Larry, alleged to be outside Nigeria at the moment, reportedly threatened Iyabo Ojo, a Nollywood actress championing the call for justice Mohbad’s death.

“We want the federal government to confiscate their properties and freeze their bank account and investigate their source of money and wealth. We want them to immediately declare them wanted as we also say to government of those countries they are to deport them immediately to prove their innocence,” he said.

APC Reacts As Court Orders Chicago University to Release Tinubu’s Academic Record to Atiku

The All Progressives Congress has reacted after a court in the US ordered Chicago State University to release academic records of President Bola Tinubu to Atiku Abubakar.
The party described the ruling as ‘’an expedition in futility.’’
 
The ruling party said it had nothing to fear as the President had always boasted that he had nothing to hide.
This came as Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the US District Court for Northern District of Illinois, ordered Tinubu’s alma mater to provide all relevant and non-privileged documents to the applicant, Atiku, within two days.
Documents sought by Atiku, through his counsel, Angela Liu, include the record of admission and acceptance at the university, dates of attendance including degrees, awards and honours attained by Tinubu at the university, among others.
In spite of the development, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Duro Meseko, said the ruling party was not bothered by the court order, stressing that the President had nothing to hide.
He said, “The President has always said over and again that he has nothing to hide. His records are there for all to see. Chicago University has also written severally to say that this man is from us. Nothing has changed. There is no cause for alarm. It is an expedition in futility.”

In its reaction, the Presidency submitted that Tinubu’s academic record would be of no value to the PDP presidential candidate, noting that Atiku and his party were simply chasing shadows.
 A presidential aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, premised this on the grounds that Atiku who emerged first-runner up in the presidential election cannot present new evidence in court other than those he presented before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which ruled in Tinubu’s favour on September 6. ⁣
The official said, “After getting the President’s records, how will that help Atiku’s case? The university has not recanted its often-stated position that President Tinubu graduated in 1979 from the school. ⁣
 
“Atiku and PDP are chasing shadows. The President’s academic records have no probable value to Atiku’s case in court. At Supreme Court, you can’t plead new evidence outside what you frontloaded at the court of first instance which is the Appeal Court that has decided on the Presidential election petition.’’⁣
The Coordinator of Tinubu’s legal team, Babatunde Ogala, SAN, could not be reached for comment on the implication of the US court order for the presidential election petition appeals filed by Atiku and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, at the Supreme Court.
The two candidates had challenged Tinubu’s eligibility to contest the February 25 presidential election following his victory which was affirmed by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in its September 6 judgment.
Atiku had approached the US court for an order compelling the CSU to release Tinubu’s academic records.

He alleged that Tinubu’s academic records were forged.
Tinubu’s credentials indicated that he graduated from CSU in 1979 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Accounting and Management, but there have been allegations bordering on discrepancies with his certificate.
Last week, a public affairs analyst, Durojaiye Ogunsanya, identified the former Lagos State governor as his classmate at the CSU.
Speaking on a TVC programme, Ogunsanya said he and the President graduated from the Department of Accounting and Business Administration in 1979.
“We met in a school in Chicago State; we were in the same department, College of Accounting, Business and Administration, with majors in Accounting, and we were in the same class together and graduated. He did attend the university and graduated in 1979 as I did. So I’m here to testify that he did attend the university, and he was a good student,” he clarified.
In January 2022, CSU confirmed through Beverly Poindexter, who is in charge of official transcript requests, enrolment, and degree verification at the Office of the Registrar, that Tinubu attended the institution.
The CSU said, “Mr Tinubu did attend our university, however, if further information is needed, go to studentclearinghouse.org website to make a formal request.”
 
In an earlier letter dated August 20, 1999, and signed by then Registrar, Lois Davis, the university stated that Tinubu was its student between 1977 and 1979.
But justifying his decision to obtain the President’s records, Atiku said unless a clarification is made, it is difficult, if not impossible, for the public to understand the academic journey of the former Lagos State governor.
Taking to his verified X handle @atiku on Sunday, August 28, Atiku wrote, “I woke up this morning wondering how we got to this cul de sac. In 1999, @officialABAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) claimed he attended St John’s Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos, before proceeding to Children Home School in Ibadan.
 
“According to him, his next port of call in his educational journey was Government College Ibadan, and Richard Daley College and Chicago State University in the United States. Curiously, in 2023, Tinubu settled with attending only Chicago State University.
 
“I am scratching my head. How is that possible? Methinks that all well-meaning Nigerians should be as confused as I am with Tinubu’s declaration that he had no primary and secondary education, yet he has a university degree. You may wish to ask Tinubu how he attained this feat so that we can learn from his ingenuity.”
 
He accompanied the post with a laughing emoji. In support of Atiku’s application at the US court, netizens last month stormed the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the CSU, @ChicagoState, forcing the college to lock the page which was hitherto public.

Missing 26-year-old Woman Found Dead In Abuja (Photo)

A missing 26-year-old woman has been found dead.
Blessing Karami, a student of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), was declared missing after leaving her place of work in Garki, Abuja on September 11, 2023.
The deceased’s elder brother Genesis Moses Karami, who travelled from Kaduna to Abuja to lead the search said her decomposing body was found in the bush in the Karmo district of the Federal Capital Territory.
It was gathered that the police had arrested one Aminu, the boyfriend of the deceased who was questioned regarding her disappearance.
According to Genesis Karami, he received a strange call giving details about his sister’s body but it turned out to be false.
“The caller said he saw a female body in Idu, so we asked him to describe what she was wearing, and he told us exactly what we were told my sister wore to the office the day she went missing,” the brother told the police.
According to Karami, after he kept trying to contact the DPO and it was not going through, he had to go to the police station at Karmo, but upon reaching there with a group of policemen, the caller kept toying with them as he kept changing locations until they got tired and left.
On Wednesday, September 20, Karami confirmed to newsmen that his sister had indeed died.
“We saw her decomposed body in the bush here at Karmo, it’s not something we can move, we have to arrange with the environmental people to come and help us pack,” Karami said.
“We cannot travel with it. We just have to bury it here. It seems she died for days due to the nature of the decomposition,” 
Meanwhile, friends, family members, and acquaintances have taken to social media to mourn the deceased.
