The pastor has denied some of the accusations, noting that he only procured abortion for the victim once. Oyebola made the disclosure on Thursday while being paraded among the 103 suspected criminals by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Kenneth Ebrimson, at the Command’s headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.

WAEC CANCELLATION PUTS NIGERIA AT MORE RISK-ATIKU ABUBAKAR.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

       As a parent and investor in the education sector, I wish to register the fact that the Nigerian government’s policy of unilaterally cancelling the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, held annually by the West African Examinations Council, is not in Nigeria’s best interest. At a time of the global COVID19 pandemic, it is understandable that an abundance of caution be put in place to save lives. However, caution, wi thout consultation, and thoughtful action, may be counter productive. 1.5 million Nigerian youths write the West African Senior School Certificate Examination annually. To abruptly cancel this examination is to set back our nation’s youth, and place them behind their contemporaries in other West African nations. This is perilous, because Foreign Direct Investments and other economic indicators, are tied to the educational indexes of nations. Already, Nigeria lags behind other African nations in crucial indices, like school enrolment, pass rates,

REPORTED SPIKE IN COVID-19 CASES IN ANAMBRA: A CLARIFICATION.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
      Thanks for the inquiries about the reported dramatic increase in the number of Covid-19 infections in the state which some people, relying on the latest figures from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) consider very high. A lot of people have innocently assumed that as many as 20 persons were infected in Anambra state in one day, fearing that the situation in the state is worsening rapidly. The true situation is far from the impressions some have as a result of the figure. There is no dramatic increase in the number of COVID-19 infections in the state. The 20 cases reported by the NCDC yesterday were based on samples taken in over three weeks across the state. Some of the samples were even taken outside Anambra State, but were ascribed to our state because the people tested chose, for different reasons, to identify with the state. Only seven out of about 100 samples tested at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu Teaching Hospital, Awka, turned out positive. Therefore, the C
