Atiku and Obasanjo Reunite at WOTCLEF’s 25th Anniversary
At the 25th anniversary of the Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF) held in Abuja, Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), reunited with his former boss, former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
WOTCLEF, an organization founded by Atiku’s wife, Mrs Titi Abubakar, has long championed the fight against human trafficking and child labour across Nigeria, and the event drew prominent figures in support of its mission.
Atiku expressed his joy at reuniting with Obasanjo, describing the experience as both meaningful and humbling.
He also took a moment to appreciate Obasanjo’s steadfast support for the foundation, recognizing how the former president’s dedication has greatly helped WOTCLEF’s efforts to tackle social injustices and uplift vulnerable populations in Nigeria.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Atiku captured his feelings about the occasion, sharing how walking beside Obasanjo at the celebration felt like a significant moment.
He acknowledged that Obasanjo’s ongoing commitment has been a pillar for WOTCLEF, enabling the foundation to continue its work in addressing critical issues affecting women and children.
The anniversary event itself was filled with speeches and activities reflecting WOTCLEF’s 25 years of impact.
Since its inception, the foundation has provided aid, education, and advocacy, seeking to empower those who are often overlooked.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
