By HENRY OKONKWO A thirteen-year-old boy has been found dead in an uncompleted building beside his home after his mother allegedly rained abuses on him. The teenager, simply identified as Rokeeb, was found hanging on a noose last Monday, around 9am, at 25 Ekimogun Street, Apelehin under Isokan community in Bariga area of Lagos. Neighbours told Saturday Sun that Rokeeb could have sunk into depression after his mother launched a tirade at him in which, she allegedly told him to go hang himself if he liked. On the fateful day, no one expected that such a terrible thing would happen, because Rokeeb was his usual self, doing the call to prayer in the local mosque situated at Kehinde lane, close to his house. Rokeeb’s Quranic teacher simply known as Alfa Sambo, said the boy, after performing the religious assignment that morning continued reading the Quran in mosque, but suddenly left when he saw his mother going out. “He told Alfa that he wants to go and help his mother carry her load,” an...

Odunlade Adekola Is The Father Of Bukola Adeeyo’s Baby Girl, He Got Her Pregnant Last Year – Nollywood Sources If the report making the rounds among Nollywood stars is anything to go by, then popular Nollywood actor Odunlade Adekola is likely to be the father of Bukola Adeeyo’s baby. Though the actor has always maintained a father-daughter relationship with Miss Adeeyo who put to bed in the United Kingdom on the 28th of June 2017, at least 3 sources said the only information at their disposal is that Mr Adekola is the father of baby Janell.

take it from the horse’s mouth: Jonathan did not reverse any tariff. Sam Amadi and his colleagues changed the tariff through the normal due process and as part of effective regulation of the sector. I have read some piece of news suggesting that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan ordered the reversal of electricity tariff during his tenure as president. Since I left office I have avoided issues concerning electricity regulation in Nigeria, to give our successors the best opportunity to do better than we did. My understanding of public office that the best a former public officer should do is to truly step aside and be willing to provide advice if and when it is needed. In the best tradition of public service, you don’t obstruct the new administration. But I am constrained to restate the truth of what happened for the purpose of ensuring proper information to enable the present administration do its best in fixing the electricity crisis. Throughout our five years as commissioners of the Nigeri...

The embattled former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has finally surrendered his struggle for the leadership of the party, even as the PDP has slated October to hold its National Convention for the election of new executives. In Sheriff’s reaction Thursday, 24 hours after the Supreme Court judgment that nullified his chairmanship, he congratulated the lawfully recognised Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, for his victory. Sheriff’s surrender came just as Makarfi said that the party would leave its doors open to all aggrieved members, including Sheriff and his group, for reconciliation. In a short statement posted on Sheriff’s twitter handle, the former Borno State governor said: “The Supreme Court has spoken. I congratulate Senator Makarfi.
