13  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Deposed Ondo monarch ’s house ‘bombed’; wife, 3 children roasted on: 12-02-2011 08:44 PM
ONE of the wives and three daughters of the deposed Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom, an oil- rich Ilaje community in Ondo State, Prince Adebanjo Mafimisebi, were burnt  in an early morning inferno in Akure, the state capital, Saturday. The deposed Olugbo’s Akure residence which was razed by fire yesterday. But the family of the former Olugbo alleged that the private residence was bombed by his enemies. The state deputy governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, and the state Commissioner of Police, Chintua Amajor- Onu, have visited the bereaved  family  to console with them. At press time, the whereabouts of the former monarch were unknown. The wife, Ayodele, 56; Princess Folake, 15; Adekemi, 12 and Adeseun, 8, died in the fire incident that occurred about 2 a.m. at the house — 11, Road Q, Oba-Ile Housing Estate. During Sunday Vanguard ’s  visit to the residence yesterday, the fire was still on while the relations of the deposed monarch broke into the building to remove the corpses to the State Hospital mortuary. Bomb experts from the Ondo State Police Command also combed  the building for traces of explosives. Some blood stains were noticed on the fence at the back of the building which the former Olugbo family members alleged was where the arsonists used to gain access to the building. Speaking with Sunday Vanguard, a cousin to the former traditional ruler, Olumide Jaiyeola, and one of the surviving daughters of the late Olori,  Miss Adetutu Mafimisebi, alleged that the residence was bombed. Adetutu, who said she was alive because she went for a vigil the previous night, lamented that her mother and three siblings were consumed by the inferno. Adetutu said: “I came in around 5a.m. (Saturday) and saw thick smoke coming out of the building. The gate was opened and I saw some sympathisers and security men trying to evacuate the corpses of my mother and sisters. “Their remains were then taken away to the mortuary of the State Hospital in Akure. ” Jaiyeola, the younger brother to the deposed monarch, said  the family suspected that some people, who are after the former Olugbo, might have carried out the act. Another younger brother to Mafimisebi, Idowu, alleged that ‘’ the manner  the incident occurred suggested that it was a case of arson as neighbours said they heard a loud bang like the sound of a bomb before a heavy flame of fire erupted from the building. ’’ Idown  added: “I received a call around 3.20 a.m. that the house was on fire and I raced down to the place immediately. I discovered that all the occupants had been burnt to death. “Their neighbours told me that the sound of a very loud explosion woke them from their sleep and forced them to come out of their houses. “They (neighbours) said the heavy smoke coming out of the building did not allow them to go in  until the fire subsided. “What happened was not an ordinary fire disaster caused by either electric spark or a domestic fire outbreak from the kitchen. The sound of the blasts was suggestive of a bomb with the use of grenade. “The residence of my brother (deposed monarch) was razed in similar manner on February 25, 2009, killing two persons just because a case we instituted was coming up few days to that time in court. “Today, again, they struck simply because they thought  my brother would be in Akure. ” One of the neighbours of the deposed Olugbo  said he and others were able to gain entry into the house through the kitchen door which they found opened at 2 a.m. after the inferno started. He said, “The police, who were also called as early as 2a.m, did not come until around 6, this morning. ” Ondo State police image maker, Adeniran Aremu, said the incident was an inferno which consumed the Olori and the three daughters. According to Aremu, the building was a four-bedroom bungalow. He said investigation was on to ascertain the cause of the incident. Sympathisers, mostly from  Ilaje, trooped to the residence. They rained curses and abuses on the perpetrators of the ‘arson’.

15  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / INEC registers 63.9m Nigerians on: 11-02-2011 03:38 PM
The
Independent National
Electoral Commission,
INEC, has so far
registered 63.9 million
Nigerians from the
results collated
nationwide from the
recently concluded
voters registration
exercise as at
yesterday morning.
National chairman of
the commission,
Professor Attahiru Jega,
who disclosed this
yesterday at a
colloquium on “Nigeria
2011 Elections:
Building Confidence,
Enhancing Credibility,”
organised by a
coalition of civilsociety
organisations, noted
that the figure
represented 85 per
cents of registered
voters so far collated.
Jega, who expressed
surprise at the huge
turn out of Nigerians
during the exercise,
said it was indicative of
the rising confidence in
the electoral process.
“With most (not all) of
the data now reported
by the states, we have
by this morning
registered 63,981,460
Nigerians for the
coming elections. I
wish to appeal to all
Nigerians to also
turnout in their
numbers for the
verification exercise
that will take place
from 14th to 18th
February. The list will
be displayed in all
polling units during the
period for the public to
register their claims
and objections” he
said.
Jega noted that the
failure of the
commission to display
the register for claims
and objections “partly
explained the
problems of the now
old voter vegister, ”
adding that the display
of the voters register
would afford Nigerians
an opportunity to deal
with irregular enteries.
According to the INEC
boss, the Commission
had learnt lessons from
the past in preparing
for the voter
registration exercise
and the election
proper, adding that the
lessons learnt informed
the commission ’s
decision to divest the
technical aspect of the
registration from
contractors.
“We took time to
carefully specify the
hardware we needed
in order to standardize
them and also audit
the equipment
supplied. In the past,
this did not happen
and the Commission
found itself with sub-
standard equipment,
different types of
equipment, some
unsuitable for the work
to be done and yet
others largely
untested. ”

A new era for Nigerian
football appears to be
on the horizon as
Coach Samson Siasia ’s
new-look Super Eagles,
to night at the Teslim
Balogun stadium,
soared to a deserved
2-1 win over the Leone
Stars of Sierra Leone.
Taiye Taiwo converted
a penalty and Warri

clinically scored the
second goal for Eagles.
Sierra Leone pulled one

After successive failures
at Nations Cup and
World Cup
competitions, the
reputation of the
Eagles took a battering
as opposition teams
played them to a
standstill in
competitive or friendly
matches.
Judging from what
panned out both
countries attached
much seriousness to
the game which held
on a FIFA free day and
on the basis of what
was seen, Nigerian
football may be
heading in the right
direction.
And though the match
started 20 minutes
late, the intensity that
the players brought
into it, was just a
teaser of what was to
come as new faces
likes Ahmed Musa, Joel
Obi, Peter Utaka,
Emmanuel Emenike
and Ekhigo Ehiosun,
played well, impressing
an expectant Lagos
fans, who paid them
their homage with
enchanting tunes that
made the night the
more sonorous and
colouful.
Siasia introduced more
local players, raising
hopes that a new
eagles team was in the
making especially
when fans saw most of
the old players
struggling to keep pace
with the new ones.
