How I Bought Two Legs For N20,000 – Suspected Ritualist Arrested In Ogun Confesses

Ifasoji Ayangbesan, a 35-year-old suspected ritualist, who was arrested for allegedly killing and dismembering one Oyindamola Adeyemi, on Wednesday explained how he bought two human legs at the rate of N20,000.

Ayangbesan who was accused of bribing policemen with N1 million to evade arrest, was paraded alongside other 12 suspects at the state Police command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.

He, however, denied taking part in the killing of the victim who was reportedly murdered on January 28, 2023.

Speaking during the parade, Ayangbesan, who is a resident of the Iloti axis of the Ijebu-Ode local government area of Ogun, claimed that he was a herbalist and not ritualist.

He said he only obtained the legs from his friend Lukman, who he claimed to have exhumed the body part from a cemetery.

He said, “I bought two fresh human legs, but I was not involved in the murder of the victim. I was approached by my friend, Lukman, who told me he had a pair of legs to sell. Though I told him I did not need them, he convinced me to use them for ritual to better my life, and I agreed.

“I, however, told him I did not know how to make money rituals as I was not taught that as a traditionalist. He then referred me to his friend from Oye, popularly known as Egbeji in Isiwo.

“After I was taught how to go about it, I burnt the legs and kept them in my house with plans to complete the ritual when I returned from Ajah because I had a job to do there.

“However, my daughter called me while I was at Ajah that the police had come to the house looking for me. So, I later sneaked in and took away the burnt legs so that I would not be caught with any evidence because I heard that Lukman had been arrested and he had mentioned my involvement in the case.”

On the allegation of bribing police, Ayangbesan said that a lawyer had instructed him to provide N10 million to secure his release, but he was only able to gather N1 million.

He said, “I did not offer the police any bribe. When I heard that the police were on the lookout for me, a lawyer told me to get N10 million to set myself free, but I told him I could not raise the money. However, I was able to raise N1 million. Unfortunately for me, the lawyer claimed that I had informed someone about him asking me for money. He then instructed me to place the money in front of him and he took a picture, and then I was arrested. I never offered police money.”

Other suspects paraded include five suspected cultists, eight armed robbers, and one serial killer from Abeokuta and its environs.

While parading the suspects, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Olanrewaju Oladimeji, said the arrest was a result of a joint strategic effort to deal with criminal elements in the state after he was briefed about the crime situation in the state.

I’ll not marginalise any part of Nigeria – Tinubu

President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised to work evenly for the country without marginalising any part in areas of development.

Asiwaju Tinubu, who is due to be inaugurated as president on May 29, said this Wednesday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

The president-elect is on a two-day visit to the state to inaugurate projects executed by the Nyesom Wike administration.

“I will not marginalise any region, but will leave legacy projects across the length and breadth of Nigeria,” he said at the opening of Rumuokwuta/Rumuola Flyover Bridge.

Tinubu praised Governor Wike for the development strides in Rivers State, particularly for the 12 flyovers constructed across the capital city, saying posterity would kindly remember him.

He said with his accomplishments in the state, Nigeria would need the outgoing Rivers governor in higher capacities.

On the political front, Tinubu thanked Wike and the people of Rivers State for their support for him.

He said he was in the state in line with the promise he made during the campaigns in Rivers, saying “if you make a promise, you keep it.

“I will never forget the pivotal role the great and wonderful people of this state played in my victorious campaign to become the next president of this country. You have my eternal gratitude.

“In His Excellency, Governor Wike, I see a man of principle. He took a principled stand that the presidency should be retuned to the South; and he had the courage to stand by his convictions, not minding whose ox was gored.

“He is, indeed, a man of great integrity. He did not choose to serve his own interests, rather, the interests of the nation and the people of Rivers State. I thank him for his selfless leadership,” he added.

In his speech, Wike said the invitation for Tinubu to commission projects in the state was a fulfilment of promise made during the President-elect’s campaign visit to Rivers.

He expressed appreciation to Tinubu for agreeing to visit Rivers State and perform the commissioning.

Wike, who threw jibes at the leadership of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), applauded the election of Tinubu which, he said, had shamed naysayers.

The event was attended by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and Governors Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa), David Umahi (Ebonyi), Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq (Kwara), Seyi Makinde (Oyo) and Hope Uzodinma (Imo).

Others were former governors Dr Peter Odili (Rivers), Chief Bisi Akande (Osun), Chief James Ibori (Delta), Dr Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), Chief Timipre Sylva (Bayelsa) and Chief Ayo Fayose (Ekiti).

Others in attendance include governor-elect of Rivers State, Mr Sim Fubara, Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr Sunday Dare, Mr Dele Alake and Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim Imam, among others.

Wike Wants FG To End Project Abandonment As Tinubu Commissions 12th Flyover In Rivers

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has drawn the attention of the federal government to the need to amend its procurement law in order to end incessant abandonment of projects that it handles.

Governor Wike made these remarks at the inauguration of the Rumuokwuta/Rumuola Flyover (12th Flyover) on Wednesday, which was performed by the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Rivers State governor explained that the current procurement law of the Federal Government only allows for about 15/30 percent to be paid as mobilisation fee to a contractor.

Such meagre sum, he said, usually does not allow the contractor to make appreciably progress on the project before being caught up by inflation effects and high cost of materials, which eventually requires variation of the contract terms.

Governor Wike said when he noticed a similar snag in the procurement law in Rivers State, on assumption of duties, he interfaced with the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, who worked together with other lawmakers to amend the then existing law.

With the amended law, governor Wike emphasized that his administration got the latitude to pay an upward of 70 percent mobilisation fee to contractors handling various projects in the State.

The governor noted that such practice has led to the great accomplishment recorded in the delivery of development projects in the State by his administration.

Governor Wike said the Phase two of Ahoada-Omoku -Egbema road and the Emohua-Tema Junction road projects that are ongoing are at the cost of N80B.

The payment pattern, he explained, that is adopted is a monthly deduction of N4B by the contractor from the internally generated revenue (IGR) of the State, which will last 18 months that the projects will be completed.

Commenting on the 12th flyover bridge, Governor Wike explained that it is one among others started from 2019 and delivered by his administration.

The governor stressed that ordinarily some of the flyovers are on federal roads and the State should be refunded by the Federal government. He therefore, requested the incoming administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider a possible refund to the Rivers State.

This, he pointed out, will serve as a motivation to other States, which will feel more encouraged to also work on federal roads in their jurisdiction.

Inaugurating the Rumuokwuta/Rumuola Flyover, the President-Elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu noted that his presence to perform the duties of opening the flyover for public use is another way of building bridge, most essential for the country.

Tinubu also described governor Wike as a dependable ally, one who promoted the unity of Nigeria, fairness and championed Justice.

Without succumbing to gossips and speculations, Tinubu noted that governor Wike stood his ground as a principled man and worked for the presidency to come to the south.

“In His Excellency (Nyesom Ezenwo Wike), I see a man of principle, he took a principle stand that the presidency must return to South and he had the courage to stand by his conviction, not minding whose horse is gored. He is indeed a man of great integrity, he did not chose to serve his own interest. Not about him, rather the interest of the nation. You promoted unity, you promoted fairness, you championed justice. Thank you.”

He commended the audacity demonstrated by governor Wike in delivering quality projects to Rivers people to make them happy, create excitement for them and enhanced development across the State.

The president-elect said the demand for a refund on the flyover bridges so constructed on federal roads, though a worthy request, should not be borne with the mindset that he is owing the State because the projects are within Rivers and are used by the people.

President-elect, Tinubu, however, said there will be need for governor Wike to further discuss the issues with him and intensify his lobby to secure the refund.

The president-elect recalled that he went through gruesome campaign, fought hard, and with the likes of governor Wike providing structural support, he won the presidential election squarely.

“Nyesom, I say thank you for your contribution to my victory. I couldn’t have done it without some structural support.”

The President-Elect commended the Rivers State governor elect, Sir Siminalayi Fubara for his electoral victory.

In his description of the project, Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Dr. George-Kelly Dakorinama Alabo said the Rumuokwuta/Rumuola Flyover Bridge is 1007.5 meters long, completed in 8 month instead of 10 months and delivered to eliminate traffic congestion by 98 percent in the State.

According to him, the flyover is the longest of the flyovers constructed by the Wike’s administration and has district features because whereas the other eleven flyovers are straight, it has a parabolic curve with a curvature radios of 225 meters.

In his welcome remark, Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, George Ariolu said the Rumuokwuta/Rumuola Flyover bridge is the 12th among similar projects that was conceived and constructed by governor Wike.

He noted that, as an evidence of the legendary infrastructural achievement of the governor, the 12th flyover has greatly eased vehicular traffic, boosting commerce and improved the aesthetics of the metropolis.

Some of the dignitaries present at the occasion include the wife of the Rivers State governor, Hon. Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike; the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila; governors of Oyo State, Seye Makinde; Muhammadu Badaru Abubakar (Jigawa), Senator Hope Uzodinma (Imo), David Umahi (Ebonyi).

Other are former governors of Rivers State, Dr. Peter Odili; Chief Abdulkareem Adebisi Bamidele Akande (Osun), James Ibori (Delta), Chief Ayo Fayose (Ekiti), Dr. Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and Chief Timipre Sylva (Bayelsa).

Gov Adeleke Calls for Unity as Osun PDP Holds Congress

The Executive Governor of Osun, Senator Ademola Adeleke has called on members of the People’s Democratic Party in Osun to come together in Unity.

He made this known while speaking at the 2023 State Congress of the party that held on Wednesday at Osogbo City Stadium, Osogbo the Osun State Capital.

The Governor noted that unity is very key to build the party adding that all members need to join hands together and move PDP from strength to strength.

He said, “We are electing our new leaders to work with the Imole government, and to support the people’s government.

“I call on all PDP members to unite behind the new executives that will be elected today, let’s hold the banner of love high.

“Unity is very key, we need all of us to join hands together and move PDP from strength to strength.

“To PDP members, be assured that your government is working, the dividend of democracy is here and is here to stay.

“To Osun people, this PDP government is for the people, of the people and by the people.

“To delegates, the field is open. Let’s do it and show that it is PDP, we have class. Let’s show them that in PDP, we know how to do things.”

In his own address, the Outgoing Acting Chairman of the party, Dr Akindele Adekunle noted that Governor Ademola Adeleke has demonstrated capacity to act to address situations in a timely and constructive manner.

He maintained that the Osun PDP must produce meaningful impacts on the ground, and make a difference as a house of champions – the ruling party in Osun State.

“What comes to mind, first and foremost, is the strong and active engagement of the executive governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke in advancing, promoting and protecting the sanctity of fairness and democratic principle of inclusiveness, no matter how inconvenient.

“In the face of many crisis tunnels, the governor has turned up brightly with a touch of unity and audacious sacrifices. With his leadership, we have crafted courage and demonstrated capacity to act to address these situations in a timely and constructive manner.

“The principle of continuous engagement bestowed on us by Mr Governor, must be more than just a one short exercise.

“Let me also say that in line with the wish and vision of our leader, the constitutional father of Osun State, His Excellency, Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, the exercise of today comes as a remarkable and historic victory for our party but I am in no doubt at all as to what it means.

“It is a mandate for reform and for investment in the future and it is also very clearly an instruction to deliver.

“Investing into the future demands that we share in short and long term policies of our dear Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke on the need to start building the economy from the ruins of past administration.

“This the party, under my watch will support with our full chest because we appreciate the need to be assured of the future based on skills and talents and education and the application of technology, knowing that for Osun State to be relevant in the future, the forces of global competition and technological innovations mean that we can only compete on the basis of skill, ability and meritocracy.

“To this end, the domestication of the start-up act and tech innovations to strengthen tech savvy youth demography of the state by the Imole administration is the way to go and we will also deploy instrumentality of the platform of our party to support and see this noble idea of the state government to fruition”, Sunday Bisi said.

Sunday Bisi emerged chairman of the Osun PDP after securing 914 votes at the congress.

Commercial Motorcycle Riders Operating Beyond 10pm Risk Jail Term As Oyo Assembly Passes Bill

The Oyo State House of Assembly has approved a measure that prohibits motorcycles from operating after 10 p.m in the state

The “Control of Commercial Motorcycles (Further Amendment) Bill, 2019,” which became a legal framework during Tuesday’s plenary session at the state assembly, imposes fines of between N5,000 and N15,000 on anybody who caught operating commercial motorcycles after 10 p.m.

If a commercial motorbike owner or operator fails to register their motorcycle in accordance with the requirements, they are guilty of an offense and face a N5,000 fine or a month in jail upon conviction.

The measure, which is an addition to the Control of Commercial Motorcycles Law of 1995, also specifies punishments and fines for riders who are found guilty of being careless or reckless.

Section 6 of the bill stipulates that: “Any person who rides a motorcycle recklessly or negligently or at a speed or in a manner which is dangerous having regard to all the circumstances of the case including the nature, condition and use of the road and to the amount to traffic which actually is at the time or which might reasonably be expected to be on the road, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of N10,000 or to a term of two years imprisonment.”

Furthermore, section 7 stipulates thus: “Any person who causes the death of another person by riding a motorcycle recklessly or at a speed or in a manner which is dangerous to the public having regard to all the circumstances of the case including the nature, condition and use of the road and to the amount of traffic which is actually at the time or which might reasonably be expected to be on the road shall be guilty or an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of N100,000 or to a term of five years imprisonment.”

Be Ready For Another Sudan If You Tamper With Judicial Process – Keyamo Sends Stern Warning Against Plan To Truncate Tinubu’s Victory

Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has sent a stern warning to those planning to sabotage the judicial process at the election tribunal cases.

The Minister noted that those who are planning to tamper with the judicial process would end up creating another Sudan In Nigeria.

Keyamo made this known via a Twitter post on Monday.

The minister, who was President-elect Bola Tinubu’s campaign spokesperson during the just concluded 2023 elections, said such a move was one of the “cheap tactics.”

Parts of the tweets read, “The Tribunals and Courts should decide these cases devoid of any kind of intimidation from any of the parties and their supporters.”

“I call on all supporters of the APC and all patriots to remain calm and be respectful towards the judiciary and be ready at all times to respect and defend the judiciary and our constitution no matter which way the wind blows. Any attempt to destroy the judiciary (as these characters are bent on doing) is an invitation to another ‘Sudan’.

“Well, just as they often issue the empty boast that they are a different ‘movement’ and the judiciary should not ‘mess’ with them, they will soon realize that the judiciary is also a different kind of institution with which they cannot ‘mess’.”

Oduduwa Palace To Strengthen Cultural Ties With Brazilian Govt – Ooni


Barely a month after his historic visits to Brazil and Kenya, the recently unveiled Pan-African Unity & Business Initiatives of The Ooni Of Ife Kingdom, Arole Oduduwa Olofin Adimula Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi,CFR, Ojaja II has started yielding positive results as the House of Oduduwa under his leadership and The Brazilian Government through its Embassy in Nigeria have agreed to a very healthy collaboration using the Africa Fashion Week Initiative to boost the economic and cultural ties between African continent and the South American country.

Announcing the introduction of The African Fashion Week Brazil at the Brazilian Embassy in Lagos on Friday during a press conference which she co-addressed alongside the Consulate General of Brazil in Lagos, H.E. Ministro André Veras Guimarães, the Ooni’s beautiful wife who doubles as Founder/CEO of the African Fashion Week London And Nigeria stated
that This Brazil’s edition of Africa Fashion Week which is scheduled to hold between 25th, 26th to 27th of May, 2023 at the Expo center in São Paulo, the most populous city in Brazil, will go a long way strengthening cultural and economic relationship between Africa and Brazil.

According to the Ooni’s queen, the event is also aimed at creating a synergy in the fashion industry between Brazil and Africa, as well as provide a platform for future cooperations.

Speaking during a press briefing to announce the event at the Consulate General of Brazil in Lagos, Ministro André Veras Guimarães, the Consul General of Brazil said the Africa Fashion Week Nigeria was established by Queen Ronke Ademiluyi Ogunwusi in 2014 with the aim of promoting emerging Africa fashion designers on global platforms, saying the fashion industry promotes diversity of culture expressions, values, creativity and depicts the tradition of textiles and craftsmanship.

Guimarães said the fabrics and prints mostly derived from natural fibres, cottons and various colour dires featured Africa cultural symbols. He stated the fashion and textile industry in Africa is growing, adding that as at November, 2022, the sub-saharan Africa Apparel sector was reported to have an estimated worth of $31billion which according to him indicates that African textiles and fashion are spreading around the world remarkably.

“The fabrics and prints mostly derived from natural fibres, cottons and various colour dires featured African cultural symbols. Fashion and clothing matter to the economy, society and individuals. The industry generates activities in trade, it creates employment opportunities,” Guimarães said.

On the similarities between Nigeria and Brazil,
Guimarães noted that the initiative is very important, to bring societies together as the two countries are similar in many ways.

“We have to make the African fashion known in Brazil and because we have a large, not only black population, but Yoruba population, we have the status here as I said, that is a state where if any of you go to, you will feel at home. You will fit in because of the clothes, the music and traditions we have.”

He noted that holding the Africa Fashion Week in Brazil is a great initiative that will be greatly harnessed to the good of both countries. “And like I told Her Majesty Olori Ronke Ogunwusi, that we can go deeper after this Africa Fashion Week. We will offer scholarships. We can send people to study fashion in Brazil, and they will have the immigrant status. They have a free scholarship, all they need to do is just apply, to be selected. Of course there is a selection process but we can explore these educational paths.

We need to bring our societies to be closer. So I believe this partnership with Africa Fashion Week and Brazil with grow great fruits in future.” He concluded.

Giving a grief overview of the AFW, at the event, Queen Ronke Ademiluyi Ogunwusi, founder Africa Fashion Week London, Nigeria and Brazil said the Africa Fashion Week started in 2011 in London and was created as a platform to bridge the gap between Africa designers, black designers and the general public.

“When we started over a decade ago, there wasn’t a platform that brought together African designers and the global audience. Most of the platforms were mainstream platforms and a lot of people then shy away from Africa fashion. So African fashion was considered then as more traditional. People were not proud to wear Africa fashion especially in the diaspora.

“I grew up in London, I was born there. I knew we did not have that exposure to African fashion like we do now where we have amazing, phenomenon African designers both in Nigeria and abroad that are doing so many wonderful things with our textiles and our fabrics.

“There was an urgent need to create a platform that showcased the great creativity of Africa designers. This gave birth to Africa Fashion Week, London. In 2014, we created a sister brand called ‘Africa Fashion Week, Nigeria,” Ogunwusi explained.

She said the reason why she crated the Africa Fashion Week Nigeria was to enable her and her team to reach out to talented designers within Nigeria and Africa who could not afford the logistics of travelling during the international show.

“It is going to be our 9th year this year and Africa Fashion Week, London is going to be our 13th year this year,” she added.

Ogunwusi said she has given birth to a new baby, Africa Fashion Week, Brazil and this will boost economic ties and deepen presence of Africa fashion on a global map.

She noted that The Nigerian fashion industry is worth trillions of naira, that we just have to look inwards to know how we can make it work. “A lot of students after graduation, complain about no jobs not being able to do anything, so we encourage vocational skills training and that is one of the reasons why His Majesty, the Ooni of Ife Ojaja Ogunwusi, set up the Adire Textile Hub, in 2021. Since its inception, we have trained over 500 young women and youths to take up this skill. A lot of our young graduates, you know, come out or after graduating, they’re not in jobs, they’re not in employment, so we equip them with entrepreneurial skills.

“We also have our Tech Startup, which is also a branch of the African Fashion Week, which is to encourage young people to come and learn how to make Adire, where we teach them different skills in it. So in a nutshell what we’re seeing today is we’re encouraging young people to take up vocational training. We’re also using fashion as an instrument of wealth creation, job creation and economic empowerment.” Olori Ronke Adewusi concluded.

The Africa Fashion Week Brazil 2023, will feature a population of Nigerian and other African designers, and designers in diaspora, who will not only showcase their creativity with their collections, but the event according to Olori Ronke will also see an exchange of cultural fashion.

“Their clothes tell stories about their culture. It’s going to be like an exchange of culture, an educational platform, that exchanges, talks about our culture and preservation of our cultural heritage.” She concluded.

Accompanied by his wives; Queen Ronke Ademiluyi Ogunwusi and Queen Mariam Anako Ogunwusi, prominent Nigerian Traditional Rulers and a retinue of aides, Ooni Ogunwusi, Co-chairman of National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria NCTRN was recently in Brazil and Kenya where he was hosted by Presidents of the countries in appreciation of his Ojaja Pan-African Business & Cultural Initiatives.
