That satanic verse by Iwuala (Response to: Untold story of Gov.Okorocha’s accident)
The bible says that at the last day, the devil will even make fire fall from heaven to the extent that, if not for the grace of God, even the very elect might be deceived. What that means is that the devil will appear like an angel of light and probably will sell the character of God to the unsuspecting public and just at the time they might have embraced his message, he quickly sells the counterfeit.
I read with interest how rain soaked Agbaso’s hireling who I thought had all the while been in shock for the misdemeanor of his boss. In sincerity, I had sympathized for Iwuala as I had erroneously taken him for a patriotic and a young gentle man. In that tale by moon light, I saw a negatively clever man laboring so hard to create a snare for the hapless Imolites to get entrapped and at their pain agree to settle for whatever dirty and ill conceived picture portrayed.
There were grave issues raised by Barr. Iwuala of which were ostensibly a character of a slothful mind whose reasoning is, in greater proportion, beclouded by usual name-tarring business. It was also this unpatriotic character that sang anti Okorocha tunes. While the hatchet job continued, few minds had taken the man Iwuala as a serious minded personality only to be disappointed by the turn of event when he was employed by the erstwhile impeached Deputy Governor of Imo State. How heart broken? I can understand the frustration and the pains he had to go through when the party with Agbasos grounded to an abrupt end. The truth is when Iwuala splashed a beautiful ode on his principal, I shrugged and paused a little and wished them well. That Iwuala’s piece on Jude Agbaso made me understand the past master in commercialization of conscience.
Interestingly, for want of selfish gain, I am sure Iwuala must have been one of the pseudo-advisers that led his master to gallows. Rather than be sincere and honest, Iwuala and his co-travelers preferred to engineer the man to remain stiff necked with all manner of concocted reasons in a bid to make the man keep vomiting whatever cash he could. Ordinarily, a Jude Agbaso I know would have gone home with his whisky and whatever largesse he would have made from the unholy trade. Of course he will care less of what the future portends as such minds consider such values as strange in their world. His antecedence speaks volumes of what his make ups are. But it is interesting to have birds of a feather cruise in the same boat.
The greatest undoing of the Agbasos is the dishonour found among thieves. Rather than share the booty, the greedy dramatis personae prefers going all alone leaving foot soldiers bare and naked. Iwuala till date do not mean well for the Agbasos. They will ceaselessly continue to draw out their tongue to make sure that every sensitive part for taste is totally pulled out for refusing to let them have a fare share. Unfortunately, the Agbasos decided to buy into an unholy alliance to cover up their mess and to spite the people of Imo State.
That is by the way. That insinuation about due process in J-PROS matter is, to say the least, born out of frustration and malice. I guess, Iwuala must have been sleeping away his life while the whole episodes played out. In that report where Sir Jude Agbaso alleged that there was no due process in the whole transaction. Unfortunately for the Emekuku born, he had betrayed himself by the fact that he had minuted files on the same contract he knew nothing about. After a thorough investigation into the matter, Honourable Sir Jude Agbaso was found culpable. I had thought by now that people like Iwuala should take flight and quarantine himself from the Agbaso system where he had been contaminated by spirit of lies and blackmail. It is also advisable that he seeks spiritual counsel to exorcise the satanic spell that would have possessed his conscience, that is, if he has not lost the grace for repentance. Agbaso again took as gratification a blue label whisky (Porsche design) worth over Eight hundred pounds. Iwuala should please as a lawyer know what the acceptable norm in the civilized nations is. When asked to say his part, shamelessly, he would say “I only took a bottle of whisky”. What a mess. Yet this was the same Joseph Dina Jude Agbaso claimed to know nothing about let alone meeting him.
I wonder where Emperor got such obsess effrontery to raise a pen on this issue. Whose responsibility is it to advise Governor of Imo State when issue of concern bothers on Roads? Who was the then Commissioner for Works? Granted there may have been some crooked path on due process and that had to do with Nda Jude. When angel Nda Jude was asked before the adhoc committee whether he knew Mr. Joseph Dina, did he own up? He never did. He waited for a time when he was brought face to face with Dina Joseph and there and then, he messed himself up.
Iwuala, I will advise you go back and read the report or you request that great movie titled, ‘Nda Jude vs Joseph Dina’; it was a bout observed by Imo State House of Assembly adhoc committee members and people of Imo State. At the end of that bout, Nda Jude was discovered to have serially lied on oath. That is one little issue, too large to the ears of students of leadership. Of course, Iwuala was deaf and dumb while the Agbasogate lasted.
Though Iwuala later acted as a baby that had just begun to walk, he really showed a conquered spirit. Etu tu Iwuala. What came over you? Well, that matter concerns the Agbasos and Imo State House of Assembly; I wonder why Governor Okorocha should be brought into the matter. Oh! Before I forget, how true is it that Nda Jude also collected money advanced for the construction of the road leading to Emekuku? That is another allegation under investigation. A contract sum of about N700 million, and Government of Imo advanced N250 million, Nda Jude was again alleged to have gone behind to arm-twist the contractor and collected N150 million. Please, Barr. Iwuala, I want you to observe due process and ask your man what happened.
Dear people of the parliament so much have been said on this matter and I believe it is a celebrated case that exposed the greed and large scale corruption of the Agbaso family. Is this how Agbasos would have ruled Imo State if they had the opportunity? If they had the opportunity of producing number one citizen of Imo State, the highest level of Lootocracy would have been re-instituted after a little break of such form of government under PDP administrations.
Meanwhile, I can understand that Iwuala is one of those few dissidents who want our governor dead. When Iwuala subtly started his epistle of hell, every a man would have taken him seriously as he camouflaged as an angel of light. That shows the fox Iwuala could be. It would have been preferable he had spited whosever. Linking Governor’s accident to J-PROS exposes the wickedness of Iwuala and his paymasters. The lily livered Iwuala had sought means of firing a salvo to justify Imo people’s money he shared from Agbasos multi-million naira media project to redeem their already soiled name.
I wonder why Iwuala did not go to the police to continue with his investigation rather begin to fantasize about a matter he knows nothing about. Was the driver driving alone? Ask the police. Whose fault was it? Iwuala, ask the police. It is said that the fox must be chased away first before warning the hen against wandering the bush. Thank God, no life was lost. Iwuala and his co travelers ought to school themselves on how to be good citizens and learn to be patriotic and not see anything that comes their way as a merchandisable commodity to the Agbasos and others. A word of advise, if Iwuala feels deeply the need to clear the self destroyed name of his boss, he can always reach out to Imo State House of Assembly for further investigation or take them on in the law court.

Kano Transfers Over 1,000 Almajiris To Different States Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic
The Kano State Government on Saturday said it has transferred 1,098 ‘almajiris’ to different states of the country.
The commissioner for local government, Murtala Garo, disclosed this while presenting a report before the state’s task force on COVID-19 at the government house, Kano.
Almajiris are children who are supposed to be learning Islamic studies while living with their Islamic teachers. Majority of them, however, end up begging on the streets of Northern Nigeria. They constitute a large number of Nigeria’s over 10 million out-of-school children.
Mr Garo said the Kano government transported 419 almajiris to Katsina, 524 to Jigawa and 155 to Kaduna. He said all of them tested negative for coronavirus before leaving the Kano State.
Despite the coronavirus test done in Kano for the almajiris, the Jigawa government earlier said it would quarantine for two weeks all the almajiris that recently arrived from Kano.
Mr Garo said another 100 almajiris scheduled to be taken to Bauchi State also tested negative to COVID-19.
In a remark, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje said the COVID-19 situation in Kano was getting worse. He appealed for a collaborative effort to curtail the spread of the virus in the state.
Mr Ganduje, who commended residents for complying with the lockdown imposed in the state, said the decision was taken to halt the spread of the virus.
Kano State, as of Saturday night, has 77 coronavirus cases, according to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.
The decision to transfer the Kano almajiris is part of the agreement reached between Northern governors that almajiris in each state be transferred to their states of origin.
However, even before the latest agreement by the governors, the Kano government had been transferring almajiris to other states and neighbouring countries after it banned street begging in the state, most populous in Northern Nigeria.
Despite the transfers, however, no concrete step has been taken to ensure such children do not return to Kano streets as there is freedom of movement across Nigeria although interstate travel was recently banned to check the spread of the coronavirus.

COVID-19: ‘Bakassi Boys’ Foil Attempt To Smuggle 24 Women Into Abia In Container
By Ugochukwu Alaribe
Operatives of the Abia State Vigilante Service, AVS, popularly known as ‘Bakassi Boys’ have arrested 24 market women hidden in a container truck, at Ekwereazu Ngwa, the boundary community between Abia and Akwa Ibom states.
The market women, said to be from Akwa Ibom State, were on their way to Aba, when they were arrested with the truck driver and two of his conductors for violating the lockdown order by the state government.
Driver of the truck, Moses Asuquo, claimed he was going to Aba to purchase stock fish, but decided to assist the market women, because they were stranded.
A vigilante source told Sunday Vanguard that the vehicle was impounded while the market women were sent back to Akwa Ibom State.
Commissioner for Home Land Security, Prince Dan Okoli, who confirmed the incident, said that smuggling of people into the state poses great threat to the state government’s efforts to contain the spread of COVID- 19.

Woman Kills Her Maid Over Salary Request
Operatives of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Yaba of the Lagos State police command have arrested one Mrs Nene Steve for allegedly killing her maid, Joy Adole
The maid was allegedly beaten to death by Nene for requesting for her salary at their residence located at 18, Ogundola Street, Bariga area in Lagos.
Narrating the incident, Philips Ejeh, an elder brother to the deceased said that he was sad when they informed him that his sister was beaten to death.
He explained that the deceased was an indigene of Benue State brought to Lagos through an agent and started working with her as a maid in January 2020.
‘’She reported that her boss refused to pay her and anytime she asked for her salary she will start beating her.
She was making an attempt to leave the place but due to the total lockdown she remained there until Sunday when her boss said she caught her stealing noodles and this led to her serious beating and death,’’ Ejeh said.
He called on Lagos State Government and well- meaning people in the country to help them in getting justice for the victim.
The police spokesman, Bala Elkana, stated that the woman and her husband came to Bariga Police Station to a report that their house girl had committed suicide.
Detectives were said to have visited the house and suspected foul play with the position of the rope and bruises all over the body which confirmed that the girl had been tortured to death and the boss decided to hang up the girl to make it look like suicide.
He said: “The police moved on with their investigation and found a lot of sign of violence on her body that she has been tortured before a rope was put on her neck.’’
He added that the police removed the corpse and deposited it in the mortuary for autopsy to further ascertain the cause of the death.
Elkana said the matter has been transferred from Bariga police station to Panti for further investigation while the couple have been arrested and will be charged to court.

Boko Haram Attacks: Buhari Summons Urgent Meeting Of Service Chiefs
Ostensibly alarmed by the latest killings of dozens of soldiers by Boko Haram insurgents, President Muhammadu Buhari has summoned an urgent meeting of Service Chiefs to find ways to stop the trend.
He has also dispatched the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan Ali, to the neighbouring Republic of Chad for an urgent meeting with President Idris Deby and his defence counterpart.
Knowledgeable sources said in Abuja on Friday that the president is worried by on the deterioration of security situation on the Nigeria – Chad Border that has led to the recently increased Boko Haram terrorism in the area.
The sources which did not want to be named in Abuja said: “Nigeria has a Chad problem in the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) put together to secure the Lake Chad basin areas and repeal the Boko Haram terrorist attacks against all the countries neighbouring the Lake.”
The sources noted that Chad is believed to be having their own internal security challenges and this has reportedly led to their pulling away their own troops manning their own border around Lake Chad, saying: “That lacuna is being exploited by the Boko Haram terrorists, who go in and out of Nigeria, Niger and Cameroon to launch terrorist acts. This is a clear illustration of the fact that terrorism is beyond national borders.”
When contacted, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed that the Defence Minister is going to Chad but said he is unaware of the purpose.
Meanwhile, the military authorities are said to be in the process of identifying the families of the latest victims with a view to making contact with them.
Credible sources revealed that it is the reason the president is yet to make any pronouncement on the matter.
“The President has called an urgent meeting with the Service Chiefs, as well as the fact that families of the latest victims of the Boko Haram are being identified and contacts made before a government pronouncement on the tragic attacks. This, it is understood, is the reason for the silence of the government over the incident,” the source said.
