INEC Mourns Ogun REC Olaniyi Ijalaye, Who Passed Away After Abuja Meeting
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced with great sorrow the passing of Mr Olaniyi Ijalaye, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Ogun State.
In a statement issued by Mr Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, INEC extended its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family of the late REC.
The commission prayed for the repose of his soul and asked for divine comfort for his loved ones during this difficult time. Mr. Ijalaye, originally from Owo in Ondo State, was born in 1958.
He completed his undergraduate studies with a Bachelor’s degree in Law (LLB) from the University of Ife, now known as Obafemi Awolowo University, in 1982. He was subsequently called to the Nigerian Bar (BL) in 1983.
Continuing his academic journey, he earned a Master’s degree in Law (LLM) from the same institution in 1995. His contributions to the electoral process and his dedication to his role at INEC will be remembered and deeply missed.
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has alerted Nigerians residing in flood-prone areas to relocate, following the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam into River Niger and River Benue.
The release, which began on September 18, 2024, poses flood risks to 11 states, including Adamawa, Kogi, Benue, and Bayelsa.
NIHSA urges individuals to clear drainages and avoid floodplains. This comes days after severe flooding in Borno killed over 30 people.
Israel admitted to initiating a “new era” of war after two consecutive days of explosive attacks targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
On Tuesday, pager explosions killed several, including children, and wounded over 2,800. A second wave on Wednesday, involving walkie-talkies and phones, killed at least 20 and injured 450.
One explosion occurred during a Hezbollah funeral, with reports suggesting Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit was heavily impacted. Israel believes the death toll is higher than officially reported.
In a recent Instagram post, Nigerian entertainment figure Soso Soberekon advised women to focus on men with a clear vision and long-term plans instead of being swayed by physical attributes.
He highlighted that a big penis won’t raise children and encouraged women to seek meaningful relationships with partners who can build a future.
Soberekon’s message stirred a range of reactions online, sparking a lively conversation in the comments.
