Iyabo Ojo invited fans on-stage, outside the MSL store, to showcase their talents. In a display of her generosity and support for budding talent, she gave out N10,000 to participants whose talents she was most pleased with, adding a layer of excitement and encouragement for the attendees.

Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court Abuja has dismissed the charges of treasonable felony against former Presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore.

Naija News reports that the Federal Government had previously filed a notice of discontinuance through the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, last week.

The notice read, “By virtue of the power conferred on me under Section 174 (1) (c} of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, Section 107 (1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 and all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi, SAN intend to discontinue charge No: FHC/ABJ/CR/235/2019″.

Subsequently, the treasonable felony charge against the convener of the #RevolutionNow protest was struck out today.

At the court sitting today, Justice Nwite held that the court was bound to strike out the charge since the case was starting afresh before him.

He subsequently struck out the charges.

The Federal High Court Abuja also instructed the Department for State Services (DSS) to give back three phones taken from Sowore, his passport, N10,000, and a phone taken from the second defendant.

Naija News recalls that Sowore and his co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, were brought before the court in 2019 after organizing a protest rally in Abuja called “Revolution Now.”

Papua New Guinea’s remote highlands witnessed a harrowing event as police revealed the recovery of sixty-four bloodied bodies along a road, indicating a chilling escalation in the persistent violence between local warring tribes, as announced on Monday.

Naija News gathered that the victims were to be tribal fighters whom a rival group ambushed in the early hours of Sunday.

The incident took place near the town of Wabag, situated approximately 600 kilometres (370 miles) northwest of the capital Port Moresby, in a rugged and lawless area that has long been the setting for tit-for-tat mass killings involving rival tribes such as Sikin, Ambulin, Kaekin, and others.

Graphic police images from the scene depicted stripped and bloodied bodies strewn along the roadside and stacked on the back of a flatbed truck, with some men bearing hacked limbs and left naked by the road, while beer bottles or cans were placed on their chests.

According to police statements on Monday, ongoing gunfights were observed in nearby valleys, while authorities continued to recover bodies from the bushland adjacent to the road.

“We believe there are still some bodies… out there in the bush,” Assistant Commissioner of Police Samson Kua said.

Acting police commander Patrick Peka of the province stated that many of the deceased were suspected mercenaries, individuals who travel the countryside offering assistance to tribes in settling scores with their adversaries.

“The police and government cannot do much when leaders and educated elites supply arms and ammunitions and engage the services of gunmen from other parts of the province,” Peka said.

Papua New Guinea’s government has attempted various strategies, including suppression, mediation, gun amnesties, and others, to curb the violence, but with minimal success.

Despite deploying approximately 100 troops to the region, the military’s influence has been constrained, and the security forces continue to be outnumbered and outgunned.
