Fully Reported

Perhaps the biggest rape scandal of the decade, the case of Lotanna Odunze-Igwe and Mustapha Audu, one of the sons of Prince Abubakar Audu, a former two-time governor of Kogi State who passed on last Sunday is an interesting one. Lotanna, popularly known by her social media identity, @sugabelly on Sunday exposed horrible details of how she repeatedly suffered sexual abuse in the hands of Mustapha, his brothers, his cousin and his friends. Her tweets, laced with graphic details of brutal sexual assault came moments after news of Prince Audu’s death filtered into the Nigerian media. Her story, gory and dehumanising as she portrayed it, immediately drew the sympathy of a wide section of the Nigerian public with condemnation and attacks targeted at the alleged perpetrators of what many thought was only possible in seedy x-rated Hollywood productions. All through this moment, the accused were silent. Their side of the story was completely lost in the social media mob that wa...

  N/B: Read The Article Before Commenting. I have been following the story between Miss Lotanna Igwe-Odunze aka  sugabelly  and Mustapha Audu, the son of the late Chief Abubakar Audu. I have watched the reaction of people especially madam Oby Ezekwesili and Hon Abike Dabiri, and I must say that their position on this matter is illogical, embarrassing and unfair to Mustapha Audu and humanity. Let us look at the issue @ hand. THE MAJOR LIES IN @Sugarbelly's ALLEGATION: Lie Number One: Audu Abubakar Was Not The Governor As At 2007/8: Firstly, the so called accuser @ sugabelly  alleged that the late Audu Abubakar condoned the 'ficticious' rape just because he was the Governor of Kogi state. This is very far from the truth because Audu Abubakar was elected Governor in 1998, and served between 1999 and May 29, 2003 when he was defeated by Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, who served from  2003 to 2011.  He couldn't have used the office of Governor to c...

The minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola explains in this interview how he first met his mentor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Q: When and how did you meet Senator Bola Tinubu? What was your first impression of him? A: That is an invitation to walk down memory lane. I think it must have been 1990 or 1991. He was treasurer in Mobil, then. His office was at the Bookshop House at CMS on Odunlami Street. I didn’t directly meet him. I had seen him at parties, but we never met. At that time, I was a senior associate at the law firm of Sofunde, Osakwe, Ogundipe and Belgore, where I was practising. Wale Tinubu, his nephew, came to join the law firm, then. He was always mentioning “Uncle Bola”, and one day, he said: ‘’let’s go and see my uncle.” We got there and went out to lunch with him. That was then I could say we formally met. From then on, he would consult us on legal issues and we would help and give him advice. Sometimes, he would just come and say. “See we have ...

By Abiodun Alade The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo will be leading governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC and other chieftains of the party to the Kogi Central campaign for Prince Abubakar Audu, the governorship candidate of the APC in Kogi. The event will hold at the Ebira Day Pavillion, Okene on Tuesday, starting from 1:00pm while Prof. Osinbajo is expected to address party faithfuls at the rally by 4:30pm. The Vice President and other APC governors, especially from the South West are expected to woo the people of Okene, a Yoruba-speaking part of Kogi state. Meanwhile the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC has presented the party’s flag to Audu. Presenting the flag to the candidate at the Lokoja Confluence Stadium in Lokoja, the state capital, the National Chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, said that it was time for Kogi State to join the change train and move forward. He stressed that APC was ready to take over Kogi State fro...

I have heard and I have read, many people say that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari does not have an economic direction. That this is the reason why things are getting bad in the country.  My submission is that people who share this opinion have either refused to tell themselves the truth or they live elsewhere outside this world. However, I have decided to pen this piece to let them know that not only does the Buhari government have an economic direction, it is also one that looks very promising. In the last few months, particularly since President Buhari took over the mantle of leadership, things have really taken a nose dive. The hunger in the land is increasing, the unemployment rate is worsening and the poor are getting poorer. Was this unexpected? The answer is a clear no. What we are witnessing today is not a factor of a Buhari government. I posit that Nigeria would still have been witnessing the same thing or even worse if Jonathan were to be the pres...
