Breaking News! Court Declares FRSC’s New Number Plates Illegal

Federal Road Safety Commission’s threat to impound vehicles come October 1 might not just happen any more, after a Federal High Court in Lagos this morning declared the new number plates illegal, saying it’s unconstitutional.

The judge said; that it was unlawful for the commission to impose the new number plates on Nigerians, where no existing law permitted it.

The suit was filed by Emmanuel Ofoegbu, a lawyer, against FRSC after they insisted every Nigerian must get the plate number, or have their vehicles impounded as from the 1^st of October, 2014.

God bless Mr Emmanuel. Whoop! Whoop!! But what of  those of us that have changed  out number plates? We want our money back Lol

None Of My Boys Can Bribe Me – Keshi

Super Eagles coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi yesterday has rebuked claims that he has been corrupted by bribes to field some players and therefore leave some others out.

Answering question yesterday at the Tom Tom Media Roundtable with journalist, Villarreal striker, Ikechukwu Uche exclusion from the national team was the main topic.

The Villarreal striker is having the season of his life in Spain but has been overlooked by Keshi due.

Keshi had spent most of his time answering questions concerning the Ike Uche and Osaze issue but was visibly stunned when a reporter asked him that he possibly refused to invite Uche because the player refused to let him manage him.

Keshi first immediately asked for the reporters name and then advanced to say: ‘’Before these players started playing football, I’ve made my money. They cannot give me money to satisfy my hunger.

In the past, other coaches did it. I, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi can’t be bribed. You can’t bribe me. There is nothing you can use to entice me. Many rich people come to me with money to influence calling their wards or playing them. I shunned them. Equatorial Guinea promised to pay me more money than what Nigeria is paying me.

The most important thing to me is coaching the Super Eagles. Bringing joy to so many millions of Nigerians is my ultimate joy. I was with Ike Uche in South Africa during the African Cup of Nations in South Africa.

I have no personal grudge against him. He is a good player. But not all good players play for their national team. If you are not a team player, you can’t play for me. Nobody has money to buy me because I’m well by God’s grace’

Update on Ibadan House of Horror: victims recount how they were kidnapped

Update on Ibadan House of Horror: victims recount how they were kidnapped

Some victims rescued from the house of horror in the Soka area of Ibadan in Oyo, who have started gradually regaining their sanity, have recounted how they found themselves at the kidnappers den. 

Speaking with a Punch reporter, one of  the victims, Nafiu Shittu, said he was a busy selling his locally made pile medicine when he was kidnapped and brought into the forest 4 months ago.

"I am a native of Ibadan, living in the Foko area of the city. I sold pile medicine to people. I was doing the business on the day I was kidnapped about four months ago. After going round the area where I had customers, I felt tired and decided to rest in the Gate area. Suddenly, a bus stopped by my side and two men came out and forced me into the back seat of the vehicle. That was all I could remember. When I regained consciousness, I saw myself in a room in the forest, chained to a wall. I was too tired to struggle and as the days passed, I became frail because I was not given anything to eat."

Nafiu who stressed that he was not a mad man and so was not taken to the horror house for treatment, said he saw dead bodies in the place but couldn't confirm if they were killed there or not. Continue...

“There were other people, including young and adult women, who cried daily. I saw dead bodies being taken out frequently, but I don’t know if they were killed. Maybe they died of hunger. People moved around the building, but I don’t know if they knew we were there." Nafiu said

Another victim, Titi Dokpesi said she was in front of her house when she was grabbed by two men.

"I live at Awolowo compound in Oke Bola, Ibadan. I am not mad and I am not an old woman. Two months ago, I was in front of our house when some men grabbed me and said I was under arrest. Before I could protest, I was put in a bus and driven away. We did not go to any police station and I still don’t know how we reached the forest. I had N10,000 with me, but they took it. I am 45 years. In the few months I spent there, I aged quickly for lack of care. We were fed once a week.”

Meanwhile during his visit to the forest on Monday, the Oyo State Governor, Ajimola Ajimobi ordered that the C of O of the forest land be revoked and the place cleared for visibility and easy access. He expressed shock at the situation, saying this was a case of man's inhumanity to man and ordered a full scale investigation on the matter with a view of bring those involved to book.
