 ‘I’ll turn off the mic’ — Remi Tinubu reins in Adeleke’s singing at Ooni’s anniversary First Lady Oluremi Tinubu cautioned Ademola Adeleke, the Osun state governor, for prolonged singing during his remarks at the 10th coronation anniversary celebration of Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife. The moment, captured in a now-viral video, occurred as the governor mounted the podium on Sunday to pay tribute to the monarch and to congratulate the Remi on her newly bestowed chieftaincy title, Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua. Rather than proceed immediately with his formal message, Adeleke, popularly known as the “Dancing Governor” for his spirited public appearances, burst into a short musical chant, drawing laughter from parts of the audience.

KENYAN POLICEMEN APPEAR IN COURT OVER SHOOTING OF CIVILIAN DURING PROTESTS. (PHOTO).


 Kenyan policemen appear in court over shooting of civilian during protests


A court in Kenya on Thursday gave detectives 15 days to complete investigations of two police officers suspected of shooting and wounding a hawker during the latest street protests over the death of a blogger in custody, AP reported.


The officers were arraigned in court two days after the Tuesday shooting on a busy street and under the full glare of cameras. It triggered anger and fury over persistent complaints against police brutality.


Tuesday’s protests in the capital followed tensions over the death of the blogger, Albert Ojwang, who was found dead while in custody at the Central Police Station.


Ojwang was arrested on June 6 in western Kenya for what police called publishing “false information” about a top police official on social media. Police attributed his death to him “hitting his head against the cell wall,” but activists have questioned the cause of death.


Stepped aside


Protesters on Tuesday demanded the arrest of the police deputy inspector general, Eliud Lagat, who had filed a defamation complaint against Ojwang.


Lagat said Monday he had stepped aside and would cooperate with investigators. The two officers at the Central Police Station were arrested last week.


The officers will remain in custody until July 3. During their court appearance, they concealed their faces with masks, sparking complaints from activists.


Kenya has a history of police brutality, and President William Ruto previously vowed to end it, along with extrajudicial killings.


Last year, several activists and protesters were abducted and killed by Kenyan police during protests against tax hikes. The demonstrations led to calls for Ruto’s removal.
