Odunlami said, “On December 20, 2022, one Rabiu Olalekan who has been parading himself as a medical doctor of Iremide Private Hospital, Orita Ojo, in the Odigbo Local Government Area was arrested by team of Special Intervention Squad when a report of unprofessionalism was reported against him.

He also claimed that he invited one Dr. Bayo to help him carryout the caesarean section on the victim. But he does not know the address or contact of the said doctor as he said he lost his phone which was the only means of communicating with the doctor.”
Odunlami also stated that Adeleke was arrested for murder after he allegedly stabbed one Surulere Ajayi to death during an argument.
She stated that the two other suspects were arrested for allegedly attempting to vandalise electric cables at Omotosho area in the Okitipupa Local Government Area of the state.
She said, “ On December 18, 2022, at 11pm, the police got an information that vandals were at the power station at Omotosho, who were trying to remove cables from an electric transformer. Immediately policemen attached to the power station engaged the vandals and one Aderemi Okiki aged 21 was arrested.

Effort is ongoing to arrest others suspect who are on the run.”
The police spokesperson said the suspects would soon be charged to court.

The Emir was, however, taken away by security agents to Gusau.

Invoking the name of Allah for mercy and support, he said they are over 600 individuals in need of assistance to go back home and continue providing food for their families.
He said, “We are calling on the Emir of Zamfara to have sympathy on us, in the name of Allah, and help our release.
“We are just looking for what to eat and feed our families. Even if one has nothing, waking up with something to eat and feed one’s family is enough.
“I am your Shamaki, Alhaji Buhari. Please and please, Your Highness, help us, your people who are in need of your help. We are over 600 in the bush.”

Appeal court takes over NURTW case as NIC withdraws
Appeal court takes over NURTW case as NIC withdraws
The National Industrial Court has withdrawn from a case involving Alhaji Najeem Usman Yasin, Board of Trustees chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), and Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa’s ambition to return as president of the union over lack of jurisdiction.
The industrial court’s decision was made to avoid conflict with the Court of Appeal, where the matter is already being heard.
Before the NIC announced its decision to hands-off the case, the defendants’ counsel, Mr. O.I. Olorundare SAN, had informed the court that the matter is currently before the Court of Appeal, Abuja division, and that the industrial court could not continue to adjudicate on the same matter.
The counsel cited authorities to support his claim, adding that the National Industrial Court does not have concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of Appeal.
The presiding judge, O.O. Oyewunmi, struck out the case, stating that the Appeal Court had taken over the matter and that the Industrial Court must respect the hierarchy of courts.
Alhaji Yasin and six others took the case to the Appeal Court, challenging the decision of the industrial court recognising a delegates’ conference held on May 24, 2023, where Baruwa was proclaimed as President of the union for a second term in office.
With the latest NIC judgement, both parties will now proceed to defend their positions at the Court of Appeal and await the final judgement.
