Ex-Lawmaker Raises Alarm As Bandits Linked To Government Patrol Vehicle.

Published

According to Nivo News, a former member of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Mashood Bakare, has called on the Federal Government to investigate serious allegations suggesting that the Kwara State Government may be involved in supplying arms and ammunition to bandits operating within the state.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The call followed the circulation of a viral video showing soldiers interrogating suspected bandits allegedly apprehended while patrolling in a local security vehicle branded with the inscription of Ifelodun Local Government Area. The suspects were reportedly found in possession of AK-47 rifles and were seen in the footage lying face down with their hands tied as troops questioned them on their mission and the origin of the weapons.

In the video, one of the suspects, who spoke in Hausa and Pidgin English, claimed that both the patrol vehicle and the rifles were provided by the “Ilorin government,” alleging that the group operated under the cover of a legitimate security patrol.

Reacting to the development, Bakare described the allegations as troubling and alarming, particularly against the backdrop of worsening insecurity in Ifelodun Local Government Area. He lamented that repeated bandit attacks had crippled farming activities, displaced residents, and forced many communities to abandon their homes.

He expressed concern that arrested criminals could openly allege government complicity, stressing that nearly half of Ifelodun had suffered bandit attacks, leaving residents unable to access their farms and living in constant fear.

Bakare, who represented the Omupo Constituency between 2011 and 2019, described the claims as weighty and insisted that they require a transparent and comprehensive investigation. He maintained that the outcome of such a probe should be made public to restore confidence and address growing public anxiety.

Meanwhile, the Kwara State Government has dismissed the allegations as false. The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, Rafiu Ajakaye, described the claims as deliberate disinformation, arguing that the suspects in the video stated they obtained their weapons from Abuja, not Kwara State, and questioned how Abuja could be equated with the state government.

‘I Funded Obasanjo, PDP But Lost My Business’ – Orji Kalu Reveals What Happened.

Published

on

Senator representing Abia North in the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu, has spoken about what he described as betrayal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

News reports that Kalu made the remarks during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Monday night.

The former Abia State governor alleged that he provided financial support to Obasanjo and the PDP at a time when the party was struggling financially, but was later abandoned by the same political platform.

According to Kalu, despite his contributions to the party and Obasanjo’s political activities, his businesses suffered as a result of the political fallout.

He said:

“I wasn’t the only one with money; to be honest, people like the former vice president Atiku Abubakar had money, Yomi Edun had money, and many other people, and in the end, TY Danjuma brought in a lot of money to the party.

“So I was the one funding the meetings, aircraft, paying honorariums to people, cooking food, and the rest of them. For me, it was a joyful thing to make sure that we had a strong party to drive away the military, and that was the PDP.

“I was very happy, but I became a fool before the PDP because after bringing all the money, they turned against me.

“I could have been a governor whether on their platform or another platform; I gave them lifeline when people had no money, I brought in the money to fund the party. Before big weights like Danjuma started bringing in money to support the party, I started bringing money, started funding like Obasanjo when he came out of prison; he was in my house in Victoria Island, and I funded him, started funding his aircraft, started hiring and bringing my aircraft to take him, so they didn’t do anything for me; what I got in return was the killing of my businesses.”

‘Not In This Life Or The Next’ – Nkechi Blessing Rules Out Reconciliation With Ex-Husband

Published

on

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has dismissed reports suggesting that she has rekindled her relationship with her former partner, Opeyemi Falegan.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

News reports that the actress clarified that she had only forgiven Falegan and agreed to settle their differences following years of public disagreements.

Nkechi made the clarification in a series of posts shared on her Instagram page.

In one of the posts, the actress stressed that she was not back with any of her former partners and urged the public to stop spreading claims of a possible reunion.

She explained that Falegan had been making efforts to resolve their differences since January 2026. However, she insisted that he must publicly apologise for his previous remarks before she would consider making peace with him.

According to her, Falegan eventually fulfilled her request, while she also offered him an apology.

In her statement, Nkechi wrote:

“For the very last time and for those that cares to listen, I DR. Nkechi Blessing Sunday is not back with any of my Ex’s both past, present and future ex… Let it be known 📌

“To Whom it May concern… I don tire to explain myself, like we are supposed to remain enemies for life? This man have been trying to make peace since January this year and I said to him you must go back to that same online and apologize before I hear anything. He did exactly what I asked. I also apologized to him and everybody bear their father name, nothing like coming back together, not in this life or the next life.. KALLAS!!!!!

“FORGIVENESS DOES NOT MEAN RECONCILIATION!!! I have come to understand that growth is not just about moving forward, but also about making peace with the things that once broke you. Five years ago, a lot was said, a lot happened, and emotions were displayed publicly. But five years is a long time to carry hurt, anger, or resentment.

“Today, I choose peace. I choose forgiveness. I choose to let go of everything that no longer deserves space in my heart. However, I want to make something very clear: Making peace with someone from my past does not mean I want that person back in my present.

“Forgiveness is not a relationship announcement. Being cordial does not mean rekindling old flames. And letting go of bitterness does not mean reopening doors that life has already taught me to close. Some chapters are better left closed, not because there is hatred, but because there is growth.

“I can genuinely wish someone well without wanting to share my life with them again…. So please, let’s not mistake maturity for romance or peace for a reunion….. No bad blood, no bitterness, no going backwards. Just two adults choosing peace after years of unnecessary negativity.

“I have forgiven, I have healed, and most importantly, I HAVE MOVED ON 😊🤝❤️Some people belong in your memories, not your future. And that’s perfectly okay….”
