    A student of the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, who was expelled for writing an open letter to the school’s management over issues of transportation and insecurity on campus, Ifemosu Michael Adewale, has raised the alarm over plans to kill him.

    In a petition written to President Muhammadu Buhari, Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, and heads of law enforcement agencies in the country, Adewale alleged that Vice Chancellor of FUNAAB, Prof Felix Salako, was currently doing everything possible to kill him.

    According to the young man, he had been receiving death threats from different persons, who have told him that he would suffer for speaking against Salako.

    Adewale said that he was crying out so that the world would know where his death came from in case he was killed.

    He said, “At exactly 1:00am on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, some hired assassins came to my apartment around Apakila Camp with cutlasses and guns. They tore the net of my room and afterwards moved to the last room in my compound, tore the net and started searching for me.

    “When they could not find me, they left but not without warning that they were going to deal with me for fighting the VC.

    “Earlier, I had received a lot of calls from private numbers telling me that they would kill me for challenging my unlawful and illegal expulsion from the university and ridiculing the Vice Chancellor.

    “Prof Salako is close to those in power, whereas I am an ordinary citizen.

    “I am crying out publicly so that at least the world will know where my death came from and I will not join the long list of unresolved murders. My killer should at least be known.”

    But when contacted by SaharaReporters, spokesperson for FUNAAB, Dr Lydia Onwuka, denied the allegations, insisting that the VC, Prof Salako, has no reason to go after the life of Adewale or any other person in fact.

    She said, “There is a matter in court but let me just say that the VC has no reason to kill Ifemosu Adewale or any other person.

    “The allegation is not founded on any proof or fact, so it is not true.”

    Terror group, ISIS, has instructed members to stay safe and avoid killing anybody at the moment. 

    In a full-page infographic on the back cover of its most recent Al-Naba  Newsletter, the terror group gave a list of tips instructing fighters how to stop the spread of Coronavirus. 

    Since the pandemic broke out in China, the group has been covering the outbreak like a responsible media outfit with its newsletters. 

    It has spoken less of killing ‘infidels’ and carrying out jihads, rather focusing on keeping the plague away from members.

    The terror group has cells scattered all over Europe, Asia and Africa.

  • Supreme Court To Announce Date For Review Of Zamfara Judgment

    Supreme Court To Announce Date For Review Of Zamfara Judgment

    Supreme Court To Announce Date For Review Of Zamfara Judgment 11

    Supreme Court To Announce Date For Review Of Zamfara Judgment 12


     

    The Supreme Court in Abuja on Tuesday reserved ruling on the All Progressives Congress’ application for the review of its judgment nullifying the party’s victories in the general elections held in 2019 in Zamfara State, a report by PUNCH said.

    A five-man panel of the apex court led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, said the date of the ruling would be communicated to the parties.

    The CJN made the announcement after the parties to the case concluded their submissions on the application on Tuesday.

    The APC and the faction of the party in Zamfara State led by former Governor Abdulaziz Yari had filed the application for the review of the May 24, 2019 judgment, which nullified their victories at the general elections barely four days to their inauguration.

    In the said May 24, 2019 judgment, the Supreme Court had declared that APC failed to conduct valid primaries and, therefore, had no candidates in the 2019 general elections.

    The apex court had declared the votes polled by the APC in the elections as wasted.

    The Peoples Democratic Party and its candidates, who polled the next highest votes in the elections, were declared winners of the exercise and eventually inaugurated.

    The APC’s application for the review of the May 24, 2019 judgment was opposed by the Senator Kabiru Marafa-led faction of the party in the state.

    APC’s lawyer, Chief Robert Clarke (SAN), on Tuesday urged the court to grant his clients’ application by setting aside the consequential order directing that candidates with the next highest votes be sworn in.

    He urged the apex court to order the APC to conduct fresh primaries.

    He argued that the previous orders of the apex court were made without jurisdiction.

    But the Marafa faction’s lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), urged the apex court to dismiss the application and award huge and punitive costs against the applicants’ lawyer.
