Ambode declares June 12 Public Holiday

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday declared Friday, June 12 as a Work Free Day in commemoration of the annulment of the June 12, 1993 elections which was presumed to have been won by late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola. In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Habib Aruna, the governor said the date marked a watershed in the annals of transparent, free and fair elections in the country. He said June 12, 1993 was the day Nigerians voted in one voice across ethnic, racial and religious lines, saying it represented the real democracy day when Nigerians said no to voting along ethnic lines.

Denying it was “the worst result ever” for a sport beset by doping scandals, Coe nevertheless told the BBC’s Sportsweek programme: “I’m not eulogistic at the thought of somebody who has served two bans in our sport walking off with one of the biggest prizes our sport has to offer.” Gatlin’s first drugs ban in 2001 was halved from two years following an appeal that a positive test had been due to medication he had been taking since childhood, when h...

A reverend sister and year three student of Niger Delta University, Ammassoma, Bayelsa State, Mary Okoli, has said her abductors blindfolded her for 15 days and fed her with bread and butter all through the period. Okoli, who was abducted on May 21, 2015, along Amassomma-Yenagoa Road, Bayelsa State, said her experience in the hands of her captors was gory. The reverend sister was rescued after 15 days in an uncompleted building on Itu Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, by operatives of the Department of State Security Service, Bayelsa Command, on June 6. Okoli said she fell into the trap of the kidnappers on the fateful day while waiting for a vehicle to board to Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, from Amassomma. She said on the day in question, there was scarcity of commercial vehicles until three men in a private car offered her a lift. She said she was happy she found help, but unknown to her, they were kidnappers. Okoli, while narrating her ordeal in the hands of her captors amid sobs,...
