Bernard Simon, the suspect in the murder of Commandant, Armed Forces Command and Staff College Secondary School in Jaji, Navy Commander Oluyemisi Ogundana allegedly planned the murder from a church, The Nation learnt on Thursday.
It was gathered that Simon, who was removed as Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Secretary by Commander Ogundana for alleged illegal practices, was residing in the church days before he allegedly executed the evil act.
It was gathered that Simon, a native of Kogi State, was evicted from his residence by his unnamed landlady who had allegedly expressed displeasure over his behaviour.
“He is the General Secretary of the church and when his landlady sent him packing, he moved his things to the church. He was actually staying in the church at the time he planned and killed her. It is suspected that he killed her on Friday night.
“He tore her net to gain entry into the passage and then to her garage. It is suspected he ambushed her at the garage because that place is inner garage and a bit dark,” said a source.
The Nation gathered that after killing her, mutilating her body with the help of his nephew Ibrahim Momoh which they dumped inside a well near a church inside the cantonment, Bernard returned to her home the following day to steal her belongings including a laptop, money and other valuables.
It was gathered that investigators took the suspect to the church where most of Commander Ogundana’s items were found. Her laptop, it was gathered, was recovered from Momoh’s wife, who allegedly confessed that the duo gave her.
He was said to have also looked for the original copies of her vehicle particulars to aid their selling it but could not find them which prompted his hiring two soldiers to stand as guarantors that the vehicle was genuine.
“After they killed her, they went away with her car but the man came back to her apartment on Saturday and ransacked it. He was looking for the original vehicle documents to ease the sale but it seems he could not get it. Then, he went and got two soldiers to assure buyers that the vehicle was not stolen and it was genuine.
“The soldiers claimed that they did not know the vehicle belonged to the commander and that they did not know anything had happened to her. They have been arrested by the military police because what they did was even illegal,” said another source.
Meanwhile, Commander Ogundana’s colleagues, it was learnt, were planning a condolence visit to her husband said to have returned to Lagos from Kaduna to stay with his young kids who were said to be asking of their mother’s whereabouts.
A source said she had promised them she will be back last week and since they have not seen her yet, they have been asking their father where she was and why she did not come home as promised?
“They do not know yet. They keep asking of their mother and have been told she went for an exercise. Maybe, now that their father is back, he will find a way to tell them,” said the source.
Three ambulances and a 500KVA transformer have been recovered from Senator Buruji Kashamu, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), said yesterday.
The agency said the items were part of 2016 constituency projects meant to be distributed in Ogun East Senatorial District.
The items were discovered at his Constituency Project Office in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State .
ICPC spokesperson Mrs. Rasheedat Okoduwa said in a statement that the recovery followed intelligence alert by a concerned citizen.
The statement said: “The three ambulances which were procured at the cost of N6million each, were meant to be supplied to Obada Healthcare Centre, Oke Sopin in Ijebu North Local Government Area; Community Health Centre, Itele in Ijebu East Local Government Area; and Community Health Centre, Ogijo in Sagamu Local Government Area.
“The transformer is the last of an initial 11 meant for distribution to various communities of Ogun East Senatorial District which were procured at the cost of N3.6million each, bringing the total for the entire 11 transformers to N39.5million.
“The commission received intelligence about the items from a concerned citizen who became aware of the commission’s Constituency Project Tracking Group initiative, which exercise has so far covered 12 states.
“The recovered items were seized and the vehicles were moved to a police station while the 500KVA transformer was marked with the Commission’s seizure seal and in the interim, kept in the custody of the Manager of the Senator’s office.”
There are many housing estates in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), yet many residents lack accommodation. This is because 80 per cent of the houses in these estates are vacant. Not that the rsidents do not want to rent or occupy them. GBADE OGUNWALE writes that the housing units rot away in their hundreds while residents, in their thousands, continue to groan under excruciating accommodation issues because they cannot afford the price of the housing units.
When it comes to residential accommodation, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) presents a bundle of contradictions. Tens of sprawling residential housing estates adorns the various emerging districts and landscapes within the city and its environs.
Some of these housing estates, which have been in existence for more than a decade, are being joined by new ones that have been sprouting in different locations year in year out.
However, more than 80 per cent of the houses in these estates are vacant. Some have been vacant since they were completed years ago. And having been exposed to the vagaries of the seasons, a good number of the housing units have witnessed encroachments from the elements.
In some instances, the plaster and paint works on the buildings have been peeling off while weeds have taken over fenced compounds in some of them.
Indeed, the housing units in some of the estates are being put up for sale with no one offering to buy. Usually, the prices are far beyond what the targeted individuals in the middle income stratum can afford. And where the housing estates are targeted for rent, the rate imposed by the owners and their agents are prohibitive.
This has been responsible for varying stages of depreciation in the structures. Sadly, the housing units rot away in their hundreds while residents, in their thousands, continue to groan under excruciating accommodation issues.
k WHEN it comes to residential accommodation, the Federal Capital Territory •Abandoned /unoccupied hotel facility at Airport Road PHOTOS: ABAYOMI FAYESE
The ownership status of these sprawling Abuja estates has become a matter of interest to the various anti-graft agencies. The prolonged vacancy in the facilities is enough to attract attention, given the estimated billions of Naira invested in them.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), recently raised the alarm over some of these estates. According to the ICPC, efforts to trace the owners of a good number of the vacant housing units have met a brick wall. The ICPC said the owners abandon the cluster of housing units the moment the agency initiates investigation into their ownership status.
Chairman of the ICPC, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Dr. Esa Onoja, at a recent function in Abuja, said the development has become a great source of worry to the Commission. The ICPC drew a link between illicit financial inflows and the housing estates sprouting up in different parts of the capital city.

The ICPC chief said even in cases where Non-Conviction Asset Forfeiture proceedings are initiated with the buildings attached, nobody comes forward to claim ownership. The agency said it has documented a number of such proceedings involving a good number of such estates, in line with Section 17 of the Advanced Free Fraud Act.
The agency stressed that Sections 37 and 38 of the ICPC Act also empowered the Commission to initiate such proceedings in court where there is suspicion that such assets were proceeds of crime. Owners of many of the houses have abandoned them. And the ICPC Act states that “where nobody comes forward to claim ownership after publication of Temporary Forfeiture Orders from the courts, the assets become the property of the Federal Government”.
The Commission, however, could not immediately provide the number of such Abuja assets so abandoned by their owners.
Consequently, the agency is also relying on members of the public for information that could help trace the owners. Holding brief for the ICPC chairman, Dr. Onoja said: “It’s a big problem that required information from members of the public. We feel that citizens should provide information and after providing information, to act as witnesses. The current administration has a very strong and viable whistle blowing policy.”
Stating that over N.5 trillion has been recovered through the Whistle Blower Policy; the ICPC said the agency and other anti-grant bodies still required more information from members of the public to fight the war.
“A lot more information is required. If we can only get just 25 per cent of what has been stolen and if that money is deployed to education, health, security, I think we would be on the road to joining other countries that our citizens will like to fly to and use their resources”, Onoja said. The ICPC chair said the cost of corruption is borne mainly by the masses and the low income segments of the society, as it’s being witnessed in the accommodation hassles Abuja residents are being made to go through.
He enjoined members of the public to stop seeing corruption as a “victimless” crime, saying that everybody is a victim. “Nigerians should stop seeing corruption as a victimless crime. When funds meant for health, education, security, housing and others are diverted and end up in private hands, we all feel the impact,” he said.
In contrast to the numerous houses lying fallow across the city centre and its outskirts, many residents, particularly those in the low and medium income brackets, are left to find accommodation where the rates are affordable.
Getting decent accommodation within the city is beyond their legitimate earnings. That’s the reason virtually 85 per cent of middle and intermediate level civil servants and their counterparts in the private sector have elected to seek accommodation in the various satellite towns. Some of the preferred satellite towns are Kubwa, Gwagwalada, Kwali, Abaji, Lugbe, Nyanya, Kado and others.
The distance between these settlements and the main city where the workers report for work, ranges from 20 to 70 kilometres. They commute the distance daily, either in their private cars or by public transport.
The adjoining Gwarimpa Estate is not for low income earners. Consequently, high demand for accommodation in the satellite towns has forced property owners in those areas to keep increasing rents on a yearly basis.
These Shylock property owners have succeeded in creating another category of residential accommodation seekers. This category is mainly made up of artisans, labourers, job seekers and their ilk.
They populate the various slums located on the outskirts of the city and the satellite towns. In Abuja, there are two categories of slum dwellers; those living in the periphery of the city and others living in the periphery of the satellite towns.
Those dwelling in the periphery of the city are the most endangered. They easily fall victim to the greed of elite, particularly the political class. In many instances, slum dwellers around the city centre have predators in political office holders or the military establishment.
On many occasions, they are forcefully evicted, their dwelling shanties demolished and the land taken over by the rich and powerful. The slum dwellers are forced to seek accommodation elsewhere, usually in more remote locations far away from the avaricious eyes of their “predators”. And in a jiffy, magnificent structures would start sprouting from the forcefully acquired lands, swelling the number of completed but unoccupied clusters of buildings dotting the landscape. Cases of this might-over-right action are commonplace in the capital city, particularly along the ever busy Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport Road.
Obviously worried by the accommodation plight of millions of underprivileged Nigerians, the United Nations (UN) recently warned the Nigerian government to put an end to forced eviction of its poor and vulnerable segments of the population.
Speaking through its Special Rapporteur, Ms. Leilani Farha, who had just concluded a 10-day housing assessment visit to Nigeria, the UN deplored the ugly trend where highly placed and influential Nigerians are forcibly ejecting poor citizens from their homes and taking over their lands.
Farha noted that these forceful evictions have given rise to informal settlements (slums) ballooning across the country. She described living condition in these informal settlements as inhumane.
Farha stated in her report: “Successive governments have allowed economic inequality in Nigeria to reach extreme levels, a fact that is clearly evident in the housing sector.
Meanwhile, newly built luxury dwellings are sprouting up throughout cities–made possible often through the forced eviction of poor communities”.
The UN Rapporteur noted, sadly, that “these new dwellings do not fulfill any housing need, since many remained vacant, acting as vessels for money laundering or investment”.
Farha also noted in her report, that seven in 10 Nigerians in towns and cities now live in informal settlements, adding that most of these settlements remain without access to running water and toilets. Above all, she noted that these poor and vulnerable citizens live in perpetual fear of being turned out of their homes by the high and mighty.
Worried by the viciousness of the forced evictions and the steady rise in unoccupied buildings within and around the capital city, some stakeholders have called on the authorities to start taxing owners of the vacant buildings.
The taxes, the stakeholders argued, should be as high as levies paid on luxury items. This, they believe, will force down the prices of the housing units and also bring down rents as the case may be. The measures may also check the insatiable appetite of the rich and powerful to despoil the poor and vulnerable by grabbing and sharing their lands.
Operatives of the Central Naval Command (CNC) of the Nigerian Navy have rounded up two trawlers for illegal fishing activities along the country’s coastline.
The navy, which also arrested 26 crew members including four foreigners, said the trawlers belonged to ORC Fishing and Food Processing Limited.
The two vessels christened ORC 5 and CYNTHIA with 13 crew members each were said to be fishing within the restricted distance of 5 nautical miles off the Nigerian coastline.
The Commanding Officer, Forward Operating Base, Formoso, Capt. Suleiman Ibrahim, handed over the vessels the suspects to the Federal Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture at Brass Island.
Ibrahim said the naval operatives detected the illegal activities of the two fishing vessels with the use of maritime domain awareness equipment.
He said after viewing the vessels’ activities using the equipment, the base deployed operatives to stop and intercept them.
“Ordinarily, the area I s supposed to be used by local fishermen and not bigger vessels with monitoring to avoid conflicts. The act was done intentionally because they know the regulations and its implications if violated.
“Further investigations will be done by the relevant authorities and if they are found culpable they will face the law accordingly.
“We advise that they operate within laid down rules and regulations which are well known by them through seminars conducted by the government agencies and other close interactions”
In his brief, the Assistant Director, Monitoring Control and Surveillance unit, Federal department of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mr. Paul Opoama, confirmed officially receiving the two vessels and crew members arrested by the Navy for onward investigation.
Opoama explained that with collaboration with the Navy more persons and firms engaging in illegality within the Nigerian territorial waters would be arrested for possible prosecution.
The captains of the vessels, Mr. Olayeye Ejagbomo and Mr. Ayemobuma Omosuyi, did not object to the allegations that they were arrested within restricted areas.
While Omosuyi kept mute, Ejagbomo claimed he lost communication signals with his company.
Prominent Indigenes of Ogbomoso who have distinguished themselves in various fields of human endeavour will be honoured on Saturday.
The organisers, the Ogbomoso Community Foundation (OCF), a social -cultural organisation, said the Night with Stars seeks to honour indigenes who have positively impacted the country, state and the Ogbomoso community.
A statement by OCF leader General Oladayo Popoola (rtd), said it was to appreciate the recipients and further encourage them to do more for the community while encouraging others emulate them.
“The idea is to honour some of these people in their life time.
“Someone like Chief Lere Paimo, popularly called Eda Onileola, who turned 80 years old recently, should be honoured for his great contribution to the entertainment industry in the country.
“It is better to honour people like him in their lifetime to show how they are appreciated,” the statement said.
Others awardees are Late Chief Ogundare Foyanmu, whose unique poetic chants popularised Ijala Ode; the Gongo Aso crooner, Akande Abolore (9ice); Alhaji Ramoni Akanni (RKI), Kolawole Ajoyemi, Alhaji Wasiu Agara, Benedict Ayoolaa, and Prince Femi Oyewumi.
Dr. Samson Adegoke (Maigida), whose impactful donation of a community maternity centre and e-library to the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), will be honoured, among others.
Educated youths under the auspices of the Bayelsa Forward Movement (BFM) have declared support for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the November 16 governorship elections, Douye Diri.
BFM Coordinator Alfred Kemepado, and other leaders of the group, also promised to work against the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief David Lyon.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Fidelis Soriwei quoted Kemepado to have made the declaration during a solidarity visit to the Government House, Yenagoa.
Kemepado, who described the choices in the forthcoming election as a contest between good and evil, said that the enlightened youth populace would not allow Bayelsa to descend on a pitiable mission to Egypt after tasting the soothing air of restoration.
Kemepado said that the Nigerian system created an unacceptable situation that foisted servitude and deprivation on the inhabitants of the Niger Delta, who are the original owners of the oil.
He explained that the oil firms encouraged the creation of armed militia groups in the Niger Delta in the guise of oil surveillance contractors to perpetrate instability in the region.
Kemepado said that it was an aberration for the oppressive system to deprive indigenes of the area of ownership rights only to use them as some glorified pipeline security servants.
He said tha Bayelsa youths would not vote those who would celebrate an arrangement that foists oppression on the region.
He said that the BFM comprising graduate youths, would take the message to all the communities of the state to ensure the sustenance of the PDP legacy of development in Bayelsa State.
He said that the Bayelsa Youth populace would not allow the state to be taken over by agents of darkness and gun-wielding youths come November 16.
He praised the governor for his developmental exploits in all the critical sectors of the state and for the opportunity given to the youths to serve.
In his remarks, Governor Seriake Dickson, said that the state was almost in the promised land and would not retrogress to Egypt.
He said that the group of highly educated and enlightened youths would not be deceived by fake promises from insincere politicians using deceit as their most potent political tool.
He recalled that some politicians were behind a rumour that the APC candidate paid electricity bills for the people of Yenagoa when nothing of that nature occurred.
He said that he would drive in a convoy to Aguobiri in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area in October and do the ground breaking for the Oporoma bridge.
He called on the youths to be firm and not to allow their state to be taken over by darkness.
Two upgraded public schools have been inaugurated in Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area, Lagos State.
The two schools, Irepodun Primary School and Alapere Primary School now boast 14 new blocks of classrooms, equipped computer room, lavatory, kee-Klamp for food vendors, water point, and interlocking pavers.
Speaking at the commissioning event, Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs Hon Yetunde Awobieke said the project will improve the quality of education in the institution and inspire the students, teachers and their parents.
She lauded the LCDA Chairman, Mayor Dele Oshinowo, for the project.
Oshinowo, said the gesture was is in fulfillment of the administration’s commitment to promoting the well-being of children through the provision of quality and affordable education.
“Our administration is committed to using the taxpayers’ money of this LCDA to better the lives of the citizenry. This gesture is a pointer to the use of education as a tool for development in the society.”
He noted a lot of projects have been done in the LCDA and more ongoing, adding that the administration is open to partnership.
For a decade, Judges in Ondo State never had their official vehicles changed. And for 10 years, the Judges have been riding what could be described as rickety vehicles in spite of the stipulation that Judges’ vehicles should be changed every four years. Any wonder they were ecstatic during the presentation of the new Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) given to them by the Ondo State government. DAMISI OJO reports that the gesture will be of immense benefit to the Judges in the discharge of their duties
Wednesday, September 25, will linger for long in the memories of Judges in the Ondo State Judiciary. It was the day they were remembered by the state government. Twenty of them, including the Chief Judge (CJ), were presented 20 new Prado SUVs (2019 model Toyota Land Cruiser), to facilitate the discharge of their duties and enhance their efficiency.
This was in fulfillment of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu-led administration’s promise to create a conducive environment for the state’s workforce.
It was a surprise package to the Judges as such gesture was last witnessed 10 years ago.
Sixteen of the vehicles were received by the Chief Judge of the state Justice Olutoyin Akeredolu, on behalf of the judges, at the Government House, Alagbaka, Akure.
Receiving the SUVs, an excited Justice Akeredolu, who said it had been 10 years since their cars were changed, narrated how she escaped from hoodlums when her old official vehicle broke down on the Abuja-Lokoja-Kabba Road during one of her many trips to Abuja.
According to her, she abandoned the car and travelled in her pilot vehicle.
The Chief Judge said: “My colleagues and I have been riding I0-year-old vehicles. We have had various experiences of disappointments in the course of using our old vehicles.
“I recall one incident when I was on my way to Abuja. My vehicle broke down around Obajana. You know the security situation around that axis.
“Before long, the boys were gathering. Fortunately for me, I had a pilot vehicle. I had to enter the pilot vehicle to get away from that environment.
“If you bring my colleagues here, they will tell you the various experiences they have had with their rickety vehicles.”
She went on: “I want to appreciate this good gesture. We don’t have feelings of entitlements. Though the regulation stipulates that Judges’ vehicles should be changed every four years, by this regulation, it is an entitlement. But, at the same time, we appreciate Mr. Governor for not taking us for granted.”
Justice Akeredolu described the harmonious relationship between the state executive and the judiciary as uncommon, adding that it would be beneficial to residents.
•Another set of the vehicles
The Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, said the vehicles further demonstrated the respect Governor Akeredolu has for the sacred institution.
Noting that the gorvernor holds the judiciary in very high esteem, Ojogo, who stood in for Akeredolu, said no effort would be spared, as far as the welfare of the judicial institution was concerned.
He said: “My Lords, I don’t need to tell you further that Mr. Governor holds the judiciary in very high esteem. He believes that no effort will be too much to be invested as far as the welfare of our sacred institution is concerned.”
The Permanent Secretary, General Administration, Governor’s Office, Mr. Johnson Olayeye, presented the SUVs to the Judges.
It was praises galore for Akeredolu, who is a member of the legal profession. He is a Senior Advocate (SAN).
Earlier in the year, Akeredolu presented similar brands to four newly sworn-in high court judges.
The Lagos State Task Force has said it has impounded 4,500 commercial motorcycles or okada whose riders are in default of the state’s traffic law.
Head, Public Affairs Unit of the agency, Mr Taofik Adebayo disclosed this, adding that the task force was awaiting Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s directive on whether to destroy them or not.
Adebayo said the enforcement of motorcycle safety laws in the state had drastically reduced the number of ‘okada’ casualties.
He referenced Sanwo-Olu’s statement during the ceremony marking his first 100 days in office said that he will soon give directives on what to do with the impounded bikes in line with the operations of motorcycles in the state.
“We have no less than 4,500 impounded bikes waiting to be crushed but at present, we are awaiting the Lagos State Government’s directives with the ones we have now.
“We are not relenting and we will continue to impound motorcycles that default as we come by them,” he said.
The officer said that being the economic hub of the country, Lagos State attracts people from across the country, adding that many people fleeing the insurgence in the North ended up in Lagos and took up okada transportation.
“Earlier in the month, we intercepted no fewer than 44 people with their bikes in an articulated vehicle coming from the northern part of the country into Lagos.
He said that the task force had to release them because they had proper identification.
“However, there are so many illegal motorcyclists that had slipped our inspection and scrutiny into the metropolitan city through routes that are used to smuggle goods. This tells you that bikes still come into the state in their hundreds in spite of arrests being made by law enforcement agencies.
“The influx of these displaced people is what is bringing an increase in the okada business in Lagos,” he said.
Adebayo said that the laws regarding motorcycle riding in the state were not punitive in nature but corrective in order to reduce the high incidence of accidents related to motorcycle riding.
“The government did not totally ban okada but instead, restricted their activities to the inner streets of the city with a code of conduct to follow while operating within the specified streets.
“For instance, a rider is not supposed to ride without a helmet, the rider must be above 18 years, the rider must not carry anybody less than 12 years old, the rider cannot carry a woman that has a baby strapped to her back and cannot carry a pregnant woman.
“These are the laws that guide the operations of ‘okada’ riders in the state in order to reduce ‘okada’ related accidents, ” he said.
Adebayo also said that the agency had made nothing less that 400 arrests with about 200 prosecutions in the last six months to clamp down on the activities of miscreants operating around the state’s identified blackspot zones.
He, however, said that some of the arrested people who had proper identification and a legitimate means of livelihood were set free once screened by the chairman of the agency, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi.
“We usually carry out the raids at the early hours of the day or very late at night to catch unsuspecting hoodlums when they are at their most vulnerable state.”
“During such period, there is no room to start screening and separating the innocent from the guilty but afterwards, the screening takes place and those with valid forms of identification are set free,” he said.
Adebayo said that the raids were in line with the directive of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Zubairu Muazu, to ensure that the state is kept safe and free from the activities of hoodlums.
“As we commence the ‘Ember’ months, we have started a thorough raiding of black spots areas across the state for instance, we recently raided Iyana Ipaja, Ikeja, Oshodi and Afrikan Shrine area.
“One thing discovered in the course of these raids is that most of the miscreants apprehended are teenagers between the ages of 15 and 18.
“There is an 11-year-old boy who was caught and sent to Oregun Correctional Centre for proper rehabilitation,” the officer said.
He also advised people to be careful particularly at night in areas like Akala, Obalende, Ikorodu, Bariga, Shomolu, Alimosho, Mushin which he said were all notorious areas in the state.
One person was feared killed in a fracas between transport union members in Okokomaiko Motor Park on Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
The incident occurred on Wednesday night around 8pm
The Nation learnt that many were injured as the gangsters used dangerous weapons freely during the melee.
Motorists and passersby on the busy route were said to have scampered for safety.
The warring groups, it was learnt, inflicted injuries on those caught unawares.
Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State chapter Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo) told The Nation that NURTW members were not involved in the fracas
Akinsanya said those fighting are members of the Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria (RTEAN).
He said, “I have called our members at Okokomaiko Motor Park and they told me that it is RTEAN members that are fighting. I also sent some people to find out what is happening in Okokomaiko but I got the same report that those fighting are not members of our union.
” In any case, there is no reason for our members to fight one another because we have warned that the branches’ leadership should remain in office. We have also warned that no one should go and take over any branch.
“Anyone that does that risks being jailed. So, there is no point for our members to fight themselves.”
The NURTW boss said insinuation that he and his predecessor, Tajudeen Agbede are at loggerheads should be jettisoned.
“We were still together. There is no issue between us. He is an elder statesman in the union who wants peace to reign and he demonstrated it in his actions. People should cross-check their facts before going on social media, ” he said.
It would be recalled that a leadership tussle is brewing between the Lagos State chapter of the RTEAN and its national body.
Both in different publications announced the removal and counter-removal of the National President and the state executive.
