According to Nivo News, an Akure Magistrate’s Court has ordered the arrest and remand of the Ondo State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Seun Osamaye, over an alleged assault involving a serving chief magistrate.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The court action follows allegations that Osamaye verbally and physically assaulted Chief Magistrate Temitope Alphonso during an official visit to the Ondo State Ministry of Women Affairs. The incident reportedly occurred after a judicial decision that the commissioner was said to have considered unfavourable.
Court filings indicate that the police charged the commissioner with assault based on complaints arising from the incident. When the matter was called on Wednesday, Osamaye was absent from court but was represented by her counsel, A.K. Adewusi, who informed the magistrate that his client was receiving medical treatment at a hospital in Ilara-Mokin, Ifedore Local Government Area.
The defence requested a 90-minute stand-down to enable the presentation of a medical report, a request granted by the court. Upon resumption, a medical document was submitted, indicating that the commissioner was undergoing treatment.
However, the prosecution, led by Suleiman Adebayo, disputed the authenticity and reliability of the medical report, urging the court to disregard it. In his ruling, Magistrate Damilola Sekoni upheld the prosecution’s objection, noting that the document failed to establish that the commissioner was admitted or medically unfit to appear in court.
The magistrate further observed that the report did not state the date or time of any hospital admission, describing it as incomplete and inadequate. Citing what he described as a disregard for court proceedings, Magistrate Sekoni ordered the immediate arrest and remand of the commissioner in a correctional facility.
The case was subsequently adjourned until January 12 for further hearing.
Moises Caicedo has committed his long-term future to Chelsea after signing a new contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2033.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The 24-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder agreed improved terms following Chelsea’s recent successes in the UEFA Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup.
He had initially signed an eight-year deal when he joined from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023 for a British-record fee of around £100m, which could rise to £115m, before being surpassed by Liverpool’s £125m move for Alexander Isak.
Caicedo expressed delight over the extension, saying: “I am so happy to have extended my contract at Chelsea. I believe in this team, this club and I know we’re going in the right direction. We’ve only just begun together.
“There is still a lot more to achieve, and I’m very hungry to keep improving every day. I want to win more trophies with Chelsea and give everything for this club and for the fans.
“My dream is to become a Chelsea legend, and I will work as hard as possible to make that happen.”
reports that the deal is part of Chelsea’s broader effort to secure key players on long-term contracts, with captain Reece James also signing new terms and Cole Palmer receiving a performance-based pay rise.
Under former coach Enzo Maresca, Caicedo featured in every Premier League match last season, and this campaign he has already made 42 appearances, scoring five goals from midfield.
Contract negotiations are also ongoing with Enzo Fernández and Levi Colwill, while Fernández recently returned from an internal suspension amid speculation linking him with Real Madrid.
Chelsea’s next fixture is against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as they continue their push for Champions League qualification.
