It was gathered that three members of the community had brought in the policemen to stop the meeting.
President-General of Mgbuoshimiri Community Council, Mr. Ohazurume Chukwu, said the policemen began to shoot into the air even when they (police) were told that the community members at the meeting were not cult members.
“This morning, we were in a meeting, some people came with some policemen to invade the venue of our meeting.
“When we tried to find out what the reasons are, the policemen told us that they were told them that it was cult members that were meeting.
“We told them that it was a community meeting; and they insisted because they have been induced. Thus, they insisted that they had to arrest some persons and we resisted.
“In the cause of doing that, the policemen started shooting. They started shooting to the point that the oldest man in the community, Mr. Acho Maxwell Chukwu, fell down and died as a result of their shooting,” Chukwu said.
Chukwu called for the arrest and prosecution of those involved in the shooting. It was further learnt that a violent protest embarked upon by some youths of the area, who were angered by the incident, was brought under control by the police.
Speaking on the matter, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, said the matter was already under police investigation.
“This is a mere allegation. I can’t say much for now because the matter is under investigation,” Mohammad said.

Gospel singer Testimony Jaga gives Portable 3 days to apologise for slapping preacher

Testimony Jaga, the Nigerian gospel singer, has given Portable a three-day ultimatum to apologise to the preacher he slapped.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was heavily criticised on social media on Monday for slapping the man who he claimed was preaching close to his bar.

Jaga, while joining the chorus of condemnation against Portable, said he should have reported to the right authorities if the preacher’s actions were wrong.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the gospel artiste claimed to have received divine instruction to advocate for the preacher.

He also warned Portable to issue a public apology within three days or face consequences.

“I’m giving you three days to apologise to that man,” he wrote.

“If that man Portable slapped is doing something wrong, can’t he call the law enforcement agencies to arrest him?

“Even if he does not like what the man was doing, he could have easily chased him away not slap him. That is somebody’s father, husband and uncle.

“If the pastor was a famous person who uses security guards, would he have slapped him? It is because the man has no one.

“I’m not against Portable, he might have done it out of pride but if he realises what he did, he should go and apologize to the man and make a video.

“That’s a mockery of someone’s God. Telling the man to go and call his God, is mockery. He has called his God and that’s why someone like me is talking now.

“God has told me to fight for the man. Who are we to judge anyone?”

Dammy Krane petitions police over rift with Davido, demands $500k payment

Dammy Krane has petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector general of police, over his lingering dispute with Davido.

The feud between the pair started in October 2023 after Krane called out Davido on social media, claiming he owed him for songwriting contributions.

Krane also accused the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker of sabotaging his record deal with Sony Music.

In response to the allegations, Davido labeled Krane “ungrateful” and claimed he received no payment for their collaborations. Davido also mentioned that he provided shelter and support for Krane when he was homeless.

Since then, Krane has continued to attack Davido on social media; even accusing him of being involved in the death of his friend Tagbo Umeike. Tagbo died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017.

Davido dismissed claims and threatened to sue Krane for “defamation of character and cyberbullying”.

In a letter posted on his social media pages, Krane accused Davido of several wrongdoings while addressing five key concerns.

The singer alleged that Davido and his allies are threatening his life. He also called for the re-opening of Tagbo’s death case.

Krane pleaded with the inspector-general to help lift the restrictions on his bank accounts, which he claimed made it difficult for him to access his funds.

The singer also appealed to Egbetokun to get Davido to “pay me all the money he owed for the song ‘Pere’”.

He claimed Davido agreed to pay him $500,000 for their collaborative song but has refused to pay him.
