Sabinus’ Father Abducted and Released After Ransom Payment

According to a report by Premium Times, Sabinus’ father was abducted on the night of July 9, 2024. The incident occurred between 7:30 pm and 8:00 pm when Mr. Ejekwu was returning to his home in Port Harcourt after a trip outside Rivers State. As he was about to enter his house, armed men intercepted and kidnapped him. During their escape, a gunfight broke out between the kidnappers and the local security force, Ospac, resulting in the death of one Ospac member. Additionally, a neighbor of Mr. Ejekwu was struck by a stray bullet and has been hospitalized.
Sabinus, a well-known Nigerian comedian, reacted a few days after his father’s release, which was secured by paying the ransom demanded by the kidnappers. Sabinus has often expressed his deep affection for his father, describing him as his greatest role model and inspiration. He has credited his father as the reason he pursued a career in comedy, sharing his admiration and the impact his father has had on his life.
Previously, Sabinus had joined in this year’s Father’s Day celebration on June 18, sharing endearing photos on social media and humorously describing himself as the father of the next biggest clown. This incident with his father highlights the comedian’s close family ties and the significant influence his father has had on his personal and professional life.

Peter Obi Questions Why Nnamdi Kanu Is Still in Detention

2027 presidential hopeful aspirant, Peter Obi, has questioned the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), saying the situation doesn’t make sense to him. Obi explained that he would push for a political solution to Kanu’s case and other similar issues across Nigeria rather than allowing them to drag on.
Speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, Obi said it was hard to understand why Kanu was still in detention over allegations like insulting those in power. When asked if he supports a political approach to the IPOB leader’s case, Obi responded, “Why is he still being held? It doesn’t make sense to me.
“Some say he used vulgar words… I haven’t seen it myself. But even if he did, it doesn’t affect me. If I’m president and people call me a thief or an idiot — as they already do — it doesn’t bother me. My job is to ensure people can feed themselves.”
He also stressed that the same approach would apply to similar situations across the country. “If there’s a bandit somewhere in the North East, I’ll go there and meet him. That’s how you create dialogue and say, enough is enough. After that, action will follow,” Obi added.

Seun Kuti Says Tinubu’s Policies Are to Protect Politicians Not Ordinary Nigerians

Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has slammed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying his only real achievement so far is shielding criminals. Kuti believes most of Tinubu’s harsh economic policies were never about helping ordinary Nigerians but rather designed to protect the political elite from facing justice.
The Grammy-nominated musician also called out FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, saying Wike’s biggest concern during his latest media chat wasn’t about solving Nigeria’s problems but about the new opposition coalition trying to shake things up. According to Kuti, Wike was upset that some opposition politicians are now turning against Tinubu despite all the president has allegedly done to shield the political class.
In a video shared online, Kuti mocked Wike’s recent comments saying, “That media chat deserves some plots of land in my books. Wike even revealed that during Amaechi’s time as Rivers governor, his wife was allegedly collecting N4 billion monthly. It would’ve been nice if he mentioned how long that lasted.” He added that Wike and other Tinubu loyalists are only interested in protecting the status quo. “If you listened carefully, Wike wasn’t talking to Nigerians, he was warning the opposition politicians not to scatter things.”
Kuti stressed that when politicians claim Tinubu has made tough decisions for the country, it’s all a cover-up. “The only bold thing this president has done is bury crimes under more crimes. But for those crimes to stay buried, it takes wickedness. That’s why Nigerians are suffering. Something was taken from the people, and now we’re paying the price,” he said.
