Mother of two allegedly poisoned by mother-in-law in Ilorin
One Yetunde Balogun has died after she was allegedly poisoned by her mother-in-law in Ilorin.
According to sources, Balogun died after her husband’s mother allegedly poisoned her using snipper (dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate)
A former course mate, Oyeronke Oluwakemi G-Fadele noted that Balogun was a graduate of Linguistics from the University of Ilorin.
It was gathered that the incident took place at Ara Oje Compound, Ilorin, Kwara State.
However, the course mate of the deceased made some revelations that suggested what led to the death of Balogun.
The course mate said the deceased has two beautiful daughters with her husband.
She wrote:
A course mate of mine from the University died yesterday and it’s alleged that she was poisoned by her mother-in-law.
“Her name is Balogun Yetunde and she was a mother of two beautiful girls.

“It is said that her husband is a Muslim from Ilorin and that her in-laws had never been cool with her or the fact that she was involved with their son.
“They only had an introduction.
“Yetunde until her demise stayed in Ilorin while her husband was shuttling Abuja and Ilorin.
“Yetunde had on several occasions left their home to go back to her parents or relatives due to some marital issues of which she had spoken to some of our course mates and other friends about, unknown to her husband and his people.
“Yetunde is dead and according to reports, she was poisoned. How? Why? All these we are still trying to ascertain as the narrative seems to be different from the husband’s side.
“The husband never put a call through to her family that their child was dead.
“It was her cousin who came bearing an item which Yetunde had requested from home that got to know and alerted the family.
“A twist to this narrative says she took snipper, meanwhile reports say her children are also in the hospital due to the fact that they also shared in the food their mother ate.
“We want justice for Yetunde as we her course mates are just getting the whole pieces of this puzzle together.
“Up until this moment, no family member of her husband’s has formally paid Yetunde’s family a visit and access had been denied her older sister to her corpse.”

BREAKING: Court acquits Ex-AGF Adoke
BREAKING: Court acquits Ex-AGF Adoke
A former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke, has been acquitted of money laundering charges by an Abuja Federal High Court.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, upheld Adoke’s “no case” submission against the money laundering charges.
In 2017, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged Adoke and Abubakar Aliyu, a property developer, with laundering about N300 million.
While the EFCC acknowledged before Ekwo that it was a mortgage taken by Adoke from Unity Bank, it alleged before Justice Kutigi that the money constituted a bribe from the sale of an oil block by Malabu Oil & Gas Ltd in 2011.

On March 28, 2024, Kutigi dismissed the charges against Adoke and others, citing contradictions and criticizing the EFCC for a four-year trial.
Justice Ekwo, on Friday, ruled that the EFCC failed to provide evidence to prove the essential elements of the offence against Adoke, acquitting him of the charges.
However, Ekwo mandated Aliyu, the second defendant, to open his defence, stating that he has a case to answer.

BREAKING: Tension in Benue as riot police take over APC secretariat
Anti-riot Police forces have assumed control of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Secretariat led by Comrade Austin Agade in Makurdi, the capital of Benue state.
This marks the second instance within a month. It’s noteworthy that Makurdi hosts two separate APC secretariats, with Agada heading one and Benjamin Omakolo overseeing the other.
The Agada-led APC State Working Committee (SWC) had scheduled the inauguration of members of the zoning committee for the upcoming council elections at their Secretariat on Friday the 19th.

In a pre-emptive move, anti-riot police trucks arrived as early as 6 a.m., barricading all routes leading to the Secretariat.
At present, the situation is chaotic, with motorcycle riders, suspected to be aligned with the Benjamin Omakolo-led APC State Working Committee, occupying the area. Chief Of Staff Paul Biam has characterized this faction as the authentic APC.
Governor Hyacient Alia previously issued a ban on all political activities and public gatherings in Benue State, and it appears this directive remains in force.
