Gov. Amosun Rescue Gov. Aregbesola's Female Aide From Angry Mob At Adeleke's Funeral In Osun State


Ogun State Governor, Governor Ibikunle Amosun, on Monday, rescued Ms Idia Babalola, an aide of Governor Rauf Aregbesola and Commissioner nominee in Osun State from an angry mob at the premises of the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke.
The crowd of sympathisers became restless when Babalola, a former Special Adviser to Governor Aregbesola, came in for the Islamic prayers ahead of the internment of the two-time Senator and first elected governor of Osun State.
                               
Angry sympathisers demanded that Babalola be made to leave the premises.
When pleas from dignitaries at the event, including Ondo State Governor, Mr.Rotimi Akeredolu, failed to persuade the angry crowd, Governor Amosun had to join some other dignitaries in personally shielding the lady and leading her out of the premises.
                             
After that, the Ogun State governor joined other Muslim faithful to observe the final prayers before the Interment of late Senator Adeleke.

Senator Adeleke died on Sunday and was buried on Monday morning according to Islamic rites.
                                      



Soldiers Ransack Priest's House And Catholic Church For Weapons (Photos)

Soldiers search Catholic church and priest's house for weapons, Nigerians react (see photos)
Benjamin who accused Nigerian soldiers of being biased said his house and the entire parish was ransacked by the soldiers.

He noted that the Fulani herdsmen go about with heavy weapons and no one harasses them.
Lamenting the search by the military men, Benjamin wrote on Facebook: “Today my house and the entire parish was turned inside out by the military in-search for weapons. They say I keep weapons, for heaven sake, I don't do weapon. The Fulani herdsmen go about with heavy weapons killing innocent people and never a day has any one of them been harassed by the military. There are instances where the military have even assisted them to carry out their attacks on Defenseless citizens. The soldiers we have in this country are one sided. Why are they trying to divide the very country they are called to defend on religious line. Would they have done this to an imam or the mosque?"

Nigerians are not happy with this and are wondering how the country got to this point. Some are accusing the military of being corrupt while others are calling on the church to rise up against this injustice.
