Alleged Assault On Okene DLG, The Truth Of The Matter

Hon. Abdulrazaq
The attention of the media unit of Okene Local government has been drawn to rumour and unfounded allegations making round on social media that, the Administrator of Okene Local government, Hon. (Mall.) Abdulrazaq Muhammad ordered his Personal Assistant to molest the Local government DLG, Hajia Hawawu Owuda. We wish to state that, the information is false and an attempt to blackmail and malign the Local government Administrator.

Hon. Abdulrazaq by his nature and political history is a humble, religious and non violence politician who has since brought peace and decorum to the political atmosphere of Okene Local government.

It is normal for public office holders to disagree in the course of their official assignment but what happened yesterday right inside the office of the Administrator was a clear case of affront and insubordination on the part of the DLG.

Okene Local government Administrator by virtue of his appointment is the head of the Council an such, he gives lawful orders, directive and sanctioned both internal and external correspondence. Some weeks ago, Hon. Abdulrazaq as the head of the Council had directed that, the Acting director of budget in the Local government be confirmed in a substantive position as requested by the Local government Service Commission and in line with the extant laws which was unanimously accepted at the management meeting.

However, credible information reached the Administrator that, the DLG had secretly and unilaterally transferred a completely different personnel to Treasury department and had nominated same to the Service Commission without recourse to the council boss.

On enquiry by the Council boss to ascertain the reason behind the sudden change of decision, the DLG threw caution to the wind and began to use abusive words on the person of Hon. Abdulrazaq Muhammad. This we considered very embarrassing, unfortunate and a calculated attempt to ridicule the exalted office of the Local government Administrator.

At this juncture, Hon. Abdulrazaq in his usual nature, quietly left the office without uttering a word. It was at his private residence we got information, that his Personal Assistance out of his own volition confronted the DLG and somehow fight occurred between the P. A and some boys in the company of the DLG. Hon. Abdulrazaq condemned the action of his P. A in strong term and order for his arrest. He is currently in police custody.

The Local government Administrator have so much respect for DLG and has always held her in high esteem and such will never descend so low to assault her. She was never molested or assaulted in any form as alleged in some quarters. The public is hereby enjoined to disregard such rumour/information as this is pure blackmail and figment of imagination of mischief makers.

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! The thought of losing such youths on an ordinary day like Sunday undoubtedly was the reason for the astonishment. Not a single person of Ebira origin, within or outside the soil would believe such shocker upon first hearing. Text messages, phone calls and of course physical enquiries lingered, all in an atte...

The Obege legend

In the earliest generations when the art of magic was yet a myth to the people, there was born a boy into a family of hunters in the village of Eika - one of the six communities that comprised the ancestral groups. He was believed to have been born with a leaf in his hand and to the elders of then, that was prognostic of what he would be - a native healer. And had grown up performing wonders. His kinsmen were all hunters, they would deny the boy the opportunity to follow them hunting, purely on age ground - and he was really too young to go hunting in the forest. They would leave him in the house with the women as they set out on their hunting expedition. But they had meet the young Obege in the forest roasting a fair member of the forest’s game, all alone - and unarmed! The elders had to defer to this wonderful boy. Obege as an adult was more than human. His fame had spread all over the land: he was a healer of most seemingly incurable diseases, he was a rain maker, assumed more divin...
