According to his tweet, his friend had narrowly escaped death after he was attacked and shot several times.

After several back and forths, a hospital agreed to attend to him after which he was flown out of the country to London.

His friend also added that 16 out of 19 bullets have been removed from his body and the three which are yet to be removed are in complicated places.

Sharing a picture of his friend receiving treatments in the hospital, he attached a caption that read;

“16 extra bullets removed from his body and 3 remaining. They wanted to kill my friend Kene but God said no. All hospitals rejected him and were asking for police report before treatment him. We managed to get one that attended to him until we flew him to London. Today, we thank God. Yes he is recovering well. The other 3 bullets are in delicate places. Doctors advised to hold on for few months to see if the body can push it out a bit more.”

Super Eagles Prospect, Arthur Okonkwo Speaks On Arsenal Future

0
< 1 mn read

Nigerian-born English goalkeeper, Arthur Okonkwo has revealed that his future at Arsenal is uncertain yet as he rounds off his loan spell at a lower league club, Wrexham.

Arthur Okonkwo is a product of Arsenal Football Academy. He played at virtually all the club’s age grade levels before he was promoted to the club’s senior team on July 1, 2021.

Since then, the 22-year-old goalkeeper has gone on loan at Crewe Alexandra, Austrian tier one club Sturm Graz, and then Wrexham on September 1, 2023.

While at Wrexham, Arthur Okonkwo kept 14 clean sheets and conceded 30 goals in 36 games as he helped the club gain promotion to League One, England’s third-tier league.

Okonkwo who has played for England from under-15 to under-18 level has until June 30, 2024, before his contract with Arsenal expires. Unfortunately, there are no signs yet that coach Mikel Arteta is thinking of offering him a new deal.

Getting a new deal from Arsenal might be a bit difficult for the Nigerian-born goalkeeper as David Raya who is on loan from Brentford is likely to make his loan deal with the Gunners permanent this summer. Also, Aaron Ramsdale is still battling to redeem his first spot, while Karl Hein is waiting for his chance.

“I haven’t looked too much into things at the moment. But I will, very soon,” Okonkwo told the Athletic.

“It is about looking at all my opportunities and seeing which is the best for me.

“I’ve loved it at Wrexham and they will stay in my heart forever. It’s more of a waiting game now and seeing what is the right move for myself.”

Note that Arthur Okonkwo has earlier in the year revealed that he is open to switching his allegiance to Nigeria to play for the Super Eagles.

A high court in Adamawa State has issued an arrest warrant against the embattled State Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Hudu Yunusa Ari.

The warrant was issued by Justice Benjamin Manji Lawan on Wednesday, instructing the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to immediately arrest and bring the embattled REC to court for trial on three allegations.

The arrest warrant followed an application by the Adamawa State Government through its legal representative, dated and filed on April 16, 2024.

Ari is being prosecuted for unlawfully declaring the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Aishatu Ahmed Binani, as the winner before the completion of the election results collation.

The complainant’s counsel, Leonard Nzadon, informed the court that the application was requesting permission from the court to compel the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to bring Yunusa Ari to court.

Nzadon told the court that despite diligent efforts, the defendant could not be served, revealing that the court’s bailiff had been in Bauchi State from May 2 to 4, 2024, with the intention of serving him, but the defendant’s whereabouts remained unknown.

The judge, when delivering the ruling on the application, pointed out that it was the third instance the case had been discussed without the defendant’s presence in court.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has formally requested the House of Representatives to grant concurrent approval to the Federal Government for the reimbursement of a total sum of ₦24 billion to two northern states.

The President’s formal appeal was detailed in a letter directed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, and was presented on the House floor during Thursday’s plenary by the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu.

The President is specifically seeking the House’s authorization to reimburse over ₦15 billion to the Kebbi State Government and ₦9bn to the Nasarawa State Government.

It is worth noting that Kebbi State had initially utilized the funds for the development of the Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport in Birnin Kebbi, the state’s capital, while the Nasarawa State Government allocated ₦9bn for the establishment of the Lafia Cargo Airport in Nasarawa.

In his appeal to lawmakers, the President clarified that aviation, including airports, aircraft safety, and passenger and goods carriage by air, fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government as stipulated in the 1999 Constitution (As amended).

The letter read, “Establishment of a promissory note programme in favour of the Kebbi and Nasarawa State governments for the reimbursement of the respective costs of the construction of newly built airports in those states that have been taken over by the federal government.

“The House of Representatives is invited to note that at the Executive Council meeting of the Federal Executive Council FEC, which was held on the 23rd day of May 2023, it was approved as follows:

“That a promissory note in the sum of ₦9,000,542,651,786.11 be issued to the Nasarawa State government as a refund for the takeover of the newly constructed Nasarawa Airport.

“That a promissory note in the sum of ₦15,137,336,95.88 only be issued to Kebbi State state government as a refund for the takeover of Bernin Kebbi International Airport.

“The House of Representatives may wish to note that by the provisions of item three of the second schedule of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, aviation, including airports, safety of aircraft, and carriage of passengers and goods by air, fall under the exclusive legislative list.

“The impact of this is that ownership, regulation, and control of airports in Nigeria are exclusive to the Federal Government.

“In light of the above, I urge the House of Representatives to consider and grant concurrent approval for the establishment of the promissory notes programme in favour of the Kebbi and Nasarawa state governments, respectively, as prescribed in paragraph two above.”

Tiwa Sav*ge’s ex-husband Teebillz has raised more than a few brows with his most recent post. The talent manager took to Instagram to call out Davido’s Lawyer, blaming him for ruining the singer’s relationship with his daughter.

Teebillz calls out Davido’s lawyer.

In his post, Teebillz wrote;

“God don’t like ugly! I’m glad my lil bro is beginning to have clarity! I was up for 72hrs even told Tiwa & Sophia to F their feelings as women and mothers with valid reasons so my lil bro can see his daughter! Your bitxh ass told me you were with your family at the movies you can’t talk! fuck you! I will slap Imade’s pain off your face each time I come Across you Bobo….. My lawyers are bored!!!”

The chat between Teebillz and Davido’s lawyer.

Teebillz went further to share a conversation between himself and Davido’s Lawyer Prince, where he could be seen offering to fix Davido’s relationship with his first daughter Imade. In the chat, Teebillz also said that he had spoken to Davido’s baby mama Sophia with regards to Imade seeing her father.

It is still uncertain, the reason why Teebillz is blaming Davido’s lawyer for not letting the singing see his daughter, but he seems very sure of himself.

The fact that Teebillz has shown so much concern about the status of Davido and Imade’s relationship may seem shocking to most people because he has no direct relationship to either of them.

Imade and Teebillz’s son, who he shares with Tiwa Savag* are friends, and that’s as far as it goes.

A few months ago, Teebillz called out Davido for being a bully, during his rift with Tiwa Sa***e, that led to both of them unfollowing each other on social media.

There was a document in circulation on social media, which was allegedly drafted on behalf of Tiwa Savag*, against Davido for bullying.

Teebillz seemed really offended about the whole situation, taking out time to drag Davido on more than one occasion.
