THE ward delegates’ congress of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was marred by violence in some parts of the state.

The party is electing three delegates from each of the 332 wards across the state, who will later elect a governorship candidate for the party on March 7.

One Toheeb Mutallib was confirmed killed at ward 14 Oke-Oba, Agberire, in Iwo Local Government Area, while another party member, identified as Aremu Olamide, was also killed in Ipetumodu, Ife-North Local Government Area.

Aremu’s alleged killers were also said to have been shot in the leg and taken to a hospital for treatment.

Eye witnesses also disclosed that many party members sustained different categories of injuries, as thugs attempted to disrupt the exercise in many council areas, including Ede, Osogbo, Odo-Otin, Olorunda, Iwo, among others.

A car was also set ablaze in Ipetumodu, following a clash between some political thugs in the town.

Police confirm deaths

The Osun State Police Command also confirmed that two persons were killed during the congress.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola said: “One Toheeb Mutallib was killed at Agberire village in Iwo Local Government Area, after he was cut with a cutlass, while the other victims were taken to an undisclosed hospital and responding to treatment.

“One Aremu Olamide too was killed with gun in Ipetumodu, Ife-North Local Government Area, while the other victim was also taken to hospital and is being treated.”

However, Director Media and Publicity of the party, Oladele Oluwabamiji, said there was no parallel congress in any part of the state, adding that both sides participated in just one congress.

Oluwabamiji said: “We started the process together, the Congress Committee led by Governor Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State met all the aspirants with party stakeholders and it was agreed that each aspirants should have observer/monitors in each of the ward across the state.

“We left the collation centre at WOCDIF for the respected wards. Those that are shouting that the congress was disrupted were only saying so after their expectation was not met.

“There are pockets of crisis here and there but the process was largely peaceful.”

Popular Tinubu’s Minister Poisoned In Abuja

Nigerian tourism minister has been hospitalised in Abuja after suffering acute poisoning from unknown origins, her family members fear time was running against their efforts to save her life.

Tinubu’s Minister, Lola Ade-John, 60, was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, shortly after she started manifesting symptoms of her poisoning, according to family sources familiar with her ordeal. She has spent four days at the facility as of Friday morning.

Ms Ade-John, a career banker and tech investor, has been on a machine to aid her breathing, our sources said. The specifics as to what substance she ingested and how could not be immediately established. The police and the State Security Service did not immediately return a request on whether or not any investigations had been opened into the matter.

Her worsening situation has further set the family against the government, with the permanent secretary of her ministry said to be in disagreement as to whether she should continue receiving treatment at a public hospital or be moved to a better-equipped private facility downtown.

The permanent secretary, Ngozi Onwudike, was said to have insisted that the minister should not be transferred because the FMC is a public hospital and its services wouldn’t attract substantial charges to the government, a position her family rebuffed. But they remained with her as they could not raise funds to move her to a private hospital, our sources said. A phone number for the permanent secretary did not connect on Friday morning.

Ms Ade-John was appointed as a minister by President Bola Tinubu in August. She was immediately touted as one of the few cabinet members appointed from outside the political beltway. She was based in London for years before she was asked to return to the country to serve by the president.

Mohbad

Old tweets of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba better known as Mohbad recounting an attack launched by some people in the Marlian Music squad have surfaced on social media following the release of a statement by former boss, Naira Marley saying he had never assualted nor instructed anyone to attack Mohbad

The thread of posts dated October 6, 2022, on X (formerly known as Twitter) was dug up by Nigerians to counter Naira Marley’s claims.

He posted, “We were in the studio, and Some of the guys who work with Naira- Sid, Shuddy, Seyi and others- were present, as well as Naira and Tunde. I noticed Tunde was quite agitated as we started the discussion.  In the middle of the conversation, Tunde became violent and attacked me. The guys I was with were also attacked, humiliated and stripped naked by Sid, Shuddy and Seyi and some of the other boys. We were barely able to escape. 3 of us had to be checked into the hospital to get medical care for the injuries sustained during the assault.”

The post also stated that Naira Marley was present during the alleged attacks and coordinated some of them.

“Naira Marley was fully present throughout this event, and in fact, coordinated some of the attack as he instructed the boys to beat us up.  Some of this was captured on video.  It is therefore disrespectful for Naira Marley to insinuate that I started the attack because I was intoxicated as he is fully aware of the facts and circumstances surrounding this violent attack,” it read.

In Naira Marley’s statement released on Tuesday, he debunked claims of him attacking Mohbad or instructing anyone to do so.

For the avoidance of doubt I have never instructed anyone, friend, known associates or fans to attack, bully or harass Mohbad. With regards to the talent on the label, none of our artists ever fought or mistreated Mohbad,” he said.

The singer also said in the statement that he would be coming to Nigeria to assist the police investigating Mohbad’s death.
