Amotekun Corps Arrests Auxiliary Nurse for Alleged Motorcycle and Clothes Theft in Ondo
The Ondo State Security Network Agency, known as the Amotekun Corps, has arrested Jimoh Akeem, a 25-year-old auxiliary nurse, for alleged theft in Ondo town.
Akeem, who confessed to stealing motorcycles, clothes, and generators, was apprehended at the Corps headquarters in Akure.
Akeem admitted to stealing motorcycles from compounds at night, avoiding direct confrontation with owners.
He revealed he had a buyer in Abeokuta, who purchased stolen motorcycles for N450,000 each, and aso-oke clothes sold to other buyers for N300,000 per transaction. He confessed to being a repeat offender, having been previously arrested by the Amotekun Corps.
Currently working at Ogunye Hospital, Akeem expressed no specific reason for his actions, disclosing that his latest arrest marked the second time he had been caught for theft.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
