By Ismail M. Kabir

On Tuesday 9th June 2015, Family,  friends and well-wishers gathered at the water fountain garden in Abuja to celebrate Hon. Abdullahi Bello following his inauguration at the 8th National Assembly to represent Okene-Ogori/Magongo at the red chambers of the National Assembly.

The event was well attended by notable Ebira personalities,  APC chieftains from Kogi state and beyond, his family members and numerous well wishers.

Awed by the large turnout of the event, Hon. Bello promised to reciprocate the love and support he has so far enjoyed from the people by delivering adequately on his mandate.

He promised to embark of vigorous pursuit of legislations that will impact generously on his constituency and the entire Ebira community.

Hon. Abdullahi equally used the event to reinstate his commitment to ensuring the reactivation of the Tao FM station that was attacked by unknown gunmen some weeks ago where four people were killed, the building damaged and the station grounded till date.

The case of Ahmed Awela, Murtala (Eti Bobo) among other Ebira youths

Ismail M. Kabir, Lagos. Between controversial existence and a contentious exit. There are various sides to a story. For an event that happens with few or no significant eye witness, the news come in different versions; some partially correct, others completely cooked up. In some cases, such non-witnessed event pass round as rumour until eventually confirmed. Rumour it was, when a phone call from Okene announced the death of two famous Ebira youths! They were killed by the Police, reported the news. Being on a Sunday when nothing too special should ensue save for the usual church services and social functions, the news sounded as the most unexpected, as a matter of fact, incredible!

In about 1680 AD, they (along with the Idoma and Igala) migrated out of Wukari a chieftaincy dispute. The Ebira later split into various groups and settled in different locations between 1680 and 1750 AD. The Eb...
