DSS Pick Up Audu Maikori Over Comments On Southern Kaduna Crisis

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), have reportedly picked up Chocolate City founder, Audu Maikori.

DAILY POST reached out Maikori’s personal assistant, Edward Ayide over the phone and he refused to comment on the matter.


“I can’t comment,” he simply said.

When pressed further, Ayide seemed to imply his channels of communications were being monitored.

“I can’t even send you a message. If you have noticed, I haven’t even been regular on my social media pages. I’m sorry, I can’t make any comments”.

Two weeks ago, Maikori apologized to the College of Education in Gidan-Waya, Kaduna and the Kaduna State Government, for sending out false information about an attack on the school. Maikori at the time claimed that six students of the school were killed by Fulani herdsmen, including his driver’s younger brother.

The College of Education released a statement denying the incident and Maikori faced a lot of backlash on social media, with many saying he posted fake pictures.

He published a retraction on his Facebook page and claimed his driver, a certain Simon Joseph, misled him.

AKA and Bonang Matheba are over as the rapper announces their breakup on Twitter

The relationship between rapper, AKA and Bonang are over.

Today, the South African rapper took to his Twitter to announce the end of his relationship with the media queen, hinting that she never loved him as much as he did her.

“Sad to announce that myself & @bonang_m have broken up. We tried guys,” he began, and added, “Guys, Don’t ever love a woman more than she loves you.”

Only in January, the South African favourite couple flew to Phuket, Thailand, for a lavish getaway where they also shot the rapper’s music video, The World is Yours.

Not long after they returned, Bonang spoke up for the first time since AKA’s ex DJ Zinhle accused her of snatching her man, and then she proceeded to declare that she is ‘madly in love‘ with AKA.

Now, the rapper says it is over between them.

However, Bonang Matheba is yet to speak up since his tweets surfaced.

PDP Crisis: Makarfi Faction Drags Ali Modu Sheriff to the Supreme Court

Ahmed Makarfi 

The Makarfi led PDP will challenge the ruling of the Port-Harcourt Court of Appeal at the Supreme Court as anticipated. This is in accordance with the statement posted on her official twitter handle.

The statement read thus:


1. Two out of the 3 man Justices of the Appeal Court gave a scanty judgment in favour of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff while one for Makarfi

2. The Judgment has finally shown that the ruling Party, the APC is out to create a one party state in the country.

3. The Party is proceeding immediately to the Supreme Court to file an appeal against the ruling of today's appeal court judgment Senators Ahmed Makarfi and Ali Modu Sheriff have tested their legal muscles through various litigations in many courts in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, with each getting favourable orders and directives with the attendant effect on stability in the party.

Chieftains of the party from the two sides had at various fora expressed readiness to abide by the outcome of the appeal court verdict with a view to bringing lasting peace in the party.

A Federal High Court in Port Harcourt had last year gave legitimacy to Makarfi as the chairman of the party, while another court of coordinate jurisdiction in Abuja, headed by Justice Okon Abang, had ruled that Sheriff should be recognised as the chairman.

The PDP has not been able to play the role of leading opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the crisis ravaging it from within. Meanwhile, a former Aviation minister, Femi Fani Kayode has reacted to Ali Modu Sheriff's victory at appeal court.

According to him, the decision of the Appeal court is a "victory" for President Buhari.

Thousands of Football Fans Beg Sanchez to Leave Arsenal

Alexis Sanchez 

It seems like everything is slowly falling apart at Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger's 20-year reign in north London is likely to come to an end at the end of the season after a Champions League capitulation and many of the Gunners stars are set to follow him out of the club.

Mesut Ozil, who threw his Arsenal future on the likelihood of Wenger signing a new deal at the Emirates, is now looking increasingly likely to depart in the summer, as does Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean was granted leave by the Gunners following Bayern's 5-1 hammering of the Premier League club, reigniting speculation of a move to Inter as he opted to break in Italy.

It will be music to a certain groups' ears, as a team of thousands in his homeland of Chile have had enough of their star man wasting his efforts at Arsenal.

Thousands of Chileans have organised a march in protest of Alexis continuing his playing days in the English capital, with the revolt set to take place on March 1.

A statement on the group's Facebook page reads: "We, as Chileans are tired to watch one of our biggest stars play on his own to make his team get through. "We don't want him to play at Real Madrid, nor go back to Barcelona, we don't give a f*ck where he plays, we just want him to fight along with other 10 players to get the results. "He doesn't deserve to be alone."

JAMB 2017 Examinations To Hold In May

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) have announced that the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will hold in May 2017.

This was made known by the JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, through the Board’s Twitter handle @jambhq.

According to him, actual dates will be announced soon. He also advised candidates to beware of false dates and fraudsters.


“2017 UTME is scheduled to hold in May 2017. Actual dates will be announced soon. Beware of false dates and fraudsters,” he said.

Meanwhile, JAMB registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede has explained why an unusual delay has preceded the sales of application forms.

He said the ongoing switch-over in the major thrust of the sale of form which is the scratch card to direct payment into the Treasury Single Account (TSA) was responsible for the delay.

Oloyede said: “We are changing the major trust of the sale which is the scratch card. Candidates used to buy scratch cards to access the forms online and that has been abused thoroughly.

“What we want to do is for students to pay directly to government coffers and we are working out the process of doing so to avoid the type of abuse that it has been subjected to. So, we want to sell directly and to make sure that candidates pay into TSA account.”

Man Commits Suicide By Setting Himself on Fire in Abuja Hotel (Photos)

A man has completely burnt down an entire hotel after setting himself on fire in Abuja. The man identified as Dr. Isaac Ojukwu who is said to be in his 60s set himself ablaze in a rented hotel apartment in Nyanya, a satellite town of Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT). He was burnt beyond recognition.

While narrating the shocking incident to newsmen in Abuja on Friday, the Owner of the burnt Hotel and Associate Professor at the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Sylvanus M. Itodo (MON), said it still remained a shock, how an adult would just wish to take his own life, without a particular known reason.


“We were all sitting together that fateful night (Wednesday night) before he left to watch football match and I also left the hotel premises by 11pm, to go and sleep. “It was around 12am that I recieved a phone call from one of the boys in the hotel, crying, that my hotel was on fire.

Before I could get down here, the flame was everywhere; and it took the efforts of the Federal Fire Service to prevent the inferno from escalating to the surrounding houses,” Itodo lamented.

According to DailyPost, the victim hails from Ohuhu in Umuahia area of Abia State and had been staying in the apartment, Boundary Plaza Hotel, Nyanya, for the past 5 years. He is also said to have a German woman with kids.

An eye witness account by his direct neighbour, Ohize Yakubu, who has been living in the hotel apartment since the day of his wedding in 2013; said, those lodging in the hotel made frantic efforts to pull the deceased out of the building but he struggled and ran back into the burning room.

“We went to watch Arsenal and Bayern match that night, I came back to the hotel and Dr. Isaac came in 5 minutes later. After some minutes, I started hearing strange sound from his room, which is directly opposite my room. He was not shouting loud enough, all I could hear was ‘yeh’, ‘yeh’.

“At first, I was scared to open the door, because I didn’t know if it was a robbery attack, until I heard and recognised the voice of one of our neighbours, beckoning on Dr. Isaac to open the door and come out, shouting fire, fire.

“Then I asked my wife to take my son and rush out of the building while I joined other neighbours and we forced his door open, we met him standing in the sitting room while fire was burning in the bedroom. He was unhurt, we then held his hands and asked him to follow us. All of a sudden, he struggled his way from our hands and ran into the burning room.

“At this point, everyone ran back as the inferno had started escalating and all my belongings got burnt. My wife only escaped with my son. I was engaged in the process of rescuing Dr. Isaac, and lost all my belongings in the process”, Yakubu narrated.

In the case of Mr. Promise Nkwachukwu Okem, a young man who arrived Nigeria from Ghana, one month ago, he was able to pick a few things from his room (downstairs), before the fire degenerated into the zone.

He, however, said, two ladies who just finished serving the NYSC and searching for jobs, were not that lucky, as they could not pick anything from their rooms, save for their night gowns.

“They could not pick anything from their rooms”, Okem said.

The corpse of the man has been deposited at the Asokoro General Hospital by the Police, the family members are yet to arrive Abuja
