Circa 2008, Wale Tinubu and Mofe Boyo, Oando Group CEO and his deputy, would drop their prayer mats on top of the roadside drainage covering, under sun, side by side with every one else, including the Adamu sweet seller and Kazeem mechanic, at the juma'at extension of the Eti Osa LG mosque in Muri Okunola VI then. The Imam, far away in the covered main mosque building, won't even know Oando 001 and 002 were among the people worshipping behind him.

Uzor Arukwe reveals why Etisalat fired him, and how he reacted. “I couldn’t tell anyone. It was terrible.“

Kidnappers hijacked a Lagos-Abuja bus full of passengers in Kogi, and the police were informed. After about two weeks of negotiating with families, a release date was set. One condition was that the tortured hostages would be released together, so all relatives collecting their loved ones had to come as a group. They had to stop at “Mr Bigg’s Lokoja”, buy 10 packs of chicken and rice and two big power banks, hire a Sienna with a familiar driver, and follow the directions. Despite this, no arrests were made. The kidnappers made about N10m from each hostage.

BREAKING!!! We, the family of Sheikh Imam Ali Jabata, jointly dissociate ourselves from the extremist ideology of Muhammad Awwal Ali Jabata, who for years has propagated far-right ideology that bullies, defames, and castigates others, and even many times disturbs the peaceful conscience of the public. While we have individually aired our disagreement with such methods of propagation over a few decades, and have collectively deployed several levels of conflict resolution as a family to salvage and rehabilitate him through all means available, Muhammad Awwal has consistently shown himself to be adamant on a path that threatens peaceful coexistence among Muslims, Kwarans, and Nigeria at large. It has therefore become necessary to inform the general public about the imminent threats he poses, including his associates and all parties that share or fund such ideology solely targeted at causing disarray. As a family rooted in orderliness, we have also decided to legally pursue the recovery of all our properties in the care of Muhammad Awwal going forward. Our dear beloved father, Sheikh Imam Ali Abubakar Jabata, was a nobleman and a man who lived all his life with dignity. He was devoted and just to his Lord, and vehemently propagated knowledge as a classroom teacher in Kwara State, as the Imam of Oyun Central Mosque, and even as the first leader of the Tijaniyyah in Kwara State. If he were alive, he would have stood firmly on the path that upholds fairness and justice for all.
