Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser on Media to President Bola Tinubu, has resigned from his position, citing medical reasons.

He added that the choice was made after thorough consultations with his family, as the medical situation at home had become more severe.

By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
The EFCC and other security agencies in Nigeria are violators of human rights” Bobrisky says as he shares court filing praying the court to restrain security agencies from violating his rights.
Bobrisky, through his lawyer, had filed a petition in the Federal High Court of Nigeria to restrain the EFCC and other security agencies from harassing, arresting, detaining, or declaring the crossdresser wanted.
Bobrisky said that despite the court filing, the EFCC violently assaulted him and pulled him out of a plane that was about to tale off, which is a violation of his fundamental human right.
He said he now wants the world to see the security agencies in Nigeria for what they are.

Bread and butter activists: Wike not available for such adult delinquents-Olayinka slams Adeyanju
Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reiterated that the Minister will not give attention to “professional scammers and hustlers” who are masquerading as activists.
In a statement on Saturday, the Spokesperson to the FCT Minister said most of those jumping from one social media platform to another to speak against the FCT Minister were doing so because he ignored them and is making the “Yahoo Yahoo” antics through which they have sustained themselves to fail.
He said; “While growing up as a child in the hilly town of Okemesi Ekiti, one of the lessons I learned from my grandfather was never to wrestle with pigs. He was constantly telling us that the danger of wrestling with a pig will be that at the end of the fight, sane minds won’t be able to differentiate between you and the pig you fought with.
Therefore, as a matter of principle, we won’t dignify some people with any response.
“This is more so that we know how a certain emergency activist diverted election money to purchase a petrol station. We know how some so-called activists have fought themselves over protest money, including the one in 2019.
