A Methodist minister, The Reverend Dr Biodun Ogunbekun, was on Thursday, kidnapped by five gunmen in Ibadan.
The Reverend Ogunbekun, who was kidnapped at about 7p.m. at his farm at Kufi Area, along Olorunda-Aba road, was stationed at Methodist Church Nigeria, Akobo-Ojurin, Diocese of Agodi, Ibadan, capital city of Oyo State.
Addressing the Press in Ibadan on Friday, the Diocesan Bishop, The Rt Rev Amos Ajiboye said Rev Ogunbekun went to his farm to pick up something and was about leaving when the gunmen, who were also masked, gained entry into the farm and dragged him away with them into the bush on foot.
According to Bishop Ajiboye, two of the staff of Rev Ogunbekun were with him at the time of the incident, adding that it was one of the staff members that was opening the gate for their boss to leave when the gunmen swooped on them.
He also explained that the gunmen did not come in a vehicle and did not make away with the minister’s vehicle with number plate OSUN SSU 74 XA.
Bishop Ajiboye, however, “on behalf of his Eminence, Dr S.C.K. Uche, Prelate, Methodist Church Nigeria and his Grace, Most Rev M.K. Stephen, Archbishop of Ibadan, appeal to the state governor, state commissioner of police, all other security agencies and well meaning Nigerians to please assist in finding the man of God.”

He also explained to the press that the Police from Akobo-Ojurin station had visited the farm.

OSHIOMHOLE MOURNS LATE WIFE AS HE LEAVES OFFICE TODAY
Outgoing Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, who is
leaving office today, Saturday November 12, 2016, is definitely sad that he
lost his wife, Clara while in office.
At the last Executive Meeting he had last Wednesday in Benin with his
commissioners and other staff, Oshiomhole, who battled tears, recalled how he
lost his beloved wife, Clara, who was right by his side when he took the oath
of office as governor of Edo State in 2007.

He couldn’t help his emotions when he recalled that “My late
wife wore khakhi with me, standing right beside me when I took the oath of
office. Her death was very devastating to me because we were in the struggle
together before I became governor and I felt now that God made me governor, she
was going to enjoy the fruit of her labour. So, it was shocking for me to lose
her at that stage. I started with her and it would have been wonderful to
finish with her.”
Meanwhile, the governor said in an interview that he married
the late Clara when he was 22 years old.
“He recalled, ““My father wanted me to marry
early because he did not start early and wanted grandchildren. We were eight
kids and I was the first. Whatever he said was law and I had to obey him. So, I
got married and had two children before going back to school.”
Don’t ask how old his wife was at that time but he recalled
that: “I met her in the course of my union struggle. Then, she was a secretary
and I approached her to help me type some union petitions. She was afraid that
I was taking too many risks; something led to
attraction and we got married.”
The 64-year-old father of five, who remarried in 2015
to Iara, the outgoing First Lady, after the death of his first wife in December
2010, reminisced on his life as an activist:

REASONS BEHIND SOUTH EAST SENATORS VISIT TO PRESIDENT BUHARI
South-East senators who visited President Muhammadu Buhari during the week gave a list of demands as conditions for the approval of the $29.9bn loan request, Vanguard reports.
It was gathered that the senators demanded the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and the construction of a rail Standard Gauge Spur from Agbor to Onitsha.
They also reportedly requested a place in the National Security Council, the inclusion of South East when concessioning federal roads and airports and construction of extra River Basin Development Authority for the zone.
The lawmakers also demanded the reconstruction of the dilapidating Enugu airport.
Ekweremadu, who spoke to State House Correspondents at the end of the meeting, said “For us from the South East, we believe that dialogue is better than any other form of engagement. So we decided to visit the President and present to him some of the concerns of the South East including the issues of roads and infrastructure.
“We also discussed the issue of security with him and of course the issue of IPOB. We had a good conversation and he promised to look into the issues. This is the South East caucus in the Senate and we came to see the President because of the issues we have in the South East.
“We had a fruitful discussion with the President. He has promised us that he is going to look into the problems of South East. We know that there are problems everywhere but we also believe that the South East is the zone that is far much short-changed at this time than other zones.
“We also talked about the issue of appointments from the South East, especially with respect to the National Security Council. The President also told us that governors of the South East have also engaged him on the same problems. We were reassured by the response we got from the President and we look forward to further interaction with him in this manner.”
