Late Kwara Bursar Was Set To Wed On Sunday....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a tragic turn of events, Ayuba Olaitan, the Deputy Bursar of Kwara State University (KWASU) Malete, met an untimely demise during the intense moments of Nigeria’s football match against South Africa………CONTINUE READING
Olaitan, eagerly anticipating his wedding the following Sunday, succumbed to the stress induced by the dramatic turn of events in the game, notably after a controversial penalty was awarded to South Africa following a VAR check.
This pivotal decision not only annulled Nigeria’s second goal but also plunged numerous fans into a state of shock and panic.
The contentious referee ruling has been associated with the premature deaths of approximately five individuals, including a youth corps member, a former House of Representatives member, and a business mogul based in Ivory Coast, among others.
Despite the Super Eagles’ subsequent triumph, clinching a 4-2 victory on penalties, the incident has cast a pall over the festivities, underscoring the intense emotional investment of fans in the sport.
During the Fidau prayers held for the late deputy bursar on Saturday, a family member, Ayuba Akeem, spoke to Daily Trust, confirming that the deceased was scheduled to celebrate his Nikkah on Sunday.
Akeem fondly recalled Olaitan, describing him as a “philanthropist to the core,” a testament to his character and the profound impact he had on those around him.
He remarked, “He was an incredibly generous man and a cornerstone of the family. He exhibited kindness towards family members, political associates, and colleagues, always ready to bring joy within his capacity, regardless of the challenges people faced.”
Contrary to external narratives, Akeem emphasized that Olaitan’s death was preordained by the Almighty at the precise moment and place, unrelated to the football match. He asserted that even if Olaitan hadn’t watched the game, his passing would have occurred at that hour.
Another family member and colleague, Aisha, recounted their last moments with Olaitan, highlighting his apparent good health and demeanor before the tragic incident.
Saraki, represented by a former House of Assembly member and ex-APC chairman in the state, Hon Ishola Balogun Fulani, bestowed university scholarships upon two of the deceased’s children during the ceremony. Saraki eulogized Olaitan as a community leader and family man whose absence would be deeply felt.
He prayed for the departed soul to rest in peace.

Death Probe Must Go On! Atiku’s Aide Slams Family’s Demand To End Investigation Into Mary Habila’s Passing!.
Paul Ibe, media aide to 2027 presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has criticized the federal government’s handling of the death of Mary Habila. He contends that the Nigerian police have a legal obligation to conduct a comprehensive criminal investigation and a Coroner’s inquest to determine the medical cause and circumstances surrounding her death.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Key Arguments
-
Government Responsibility: Ibe asserts that under Nigerian law, the government must treat any sudden, suspicious, or unnatural death as a crime against the state.
-
Investigative Obligation: He argues that the government’s duty to investigate such deaths cannot be blocked or halted by the deceased’s family.
-
Failure to Act: Ibe claims the government failed in its responsibilities regarding the death, which occurred at the Uburu residence of Works Minister David Umahi.
-
Forensic Concerns: He questioned the absence of a state-conducted autopsy, stating that without one, it is impossible to determine the cause of death or identify potential foul play, negligence, or torture.
-
Required Procedures: Ibe maintains that in such cases, the police are required to secure the scene, gather forensic evidence, and question all involved parties.

Appreciation and Future Visit: Zulum expressed gratitude to the President on behalf of the Northeast region and noted that the President has approved a formal “thank-you” visit from representatives of the northeastern states, which is being planned for next week.
-
Regional Unity: Representing the Northern states’ governors, Zulum noted that while the position is held by a son of Borno, it is recognized as belonging to Northern Nigeria as a whole, and he thanked the region for their continued acceptance of Shettima.
-
Reflecting on the Past: Governor Zulum remarked that the region had previously come close to achieving this level of representation during the era of Baba Gana Kingibe, but they were unable to secure it at that time.
