 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

STATUES OF ROSA PARKS AND HELEN KELLER SET TO BE UNVEILED AT ALABAMA CAPITOL . (PHOTO).



 Statues of Rosa Parks and Helen Keller set to be unveiled at Alabama Capitol 

Statues of Rosa Parks and Helen Keller, two of Alabama’s most influential figures, will be unveiled on Friday on the grounds of the Alabama Capitol, marking a historic first for female representation on the Capitol lawn. Parks, a symbol of the civil rights movement, and Keller, an advocate for people with disabilities, will join a landscape that has previously included tributes to Confederate leaders, offering a broader reflection of the state’s history.

The monuments come more than six years after legislation sponsored by Rep. Laura Hall authorized their placement, aiming to ensure visitors can “see the full picture” of women’s contributions. Parks’ statue will be positioned by the Capitol steps facing Dexter Avenue, where her 1955 refusal to give up her bus seat sparked the Montgomery bus boycott and the wider civil rights movement. Keller’s statue will face the Statehouse, honoring her lifelong advocacy for the disabled, workers, women, and the poor. The Alabama Women’s Tribute Statue Commission has overseen the project, from commissioning the artwork to finalizing its display.
