Most adults will not survive 50 days in kidnappers den, but the 45 children and teachers kidnapped in Oyo State I've spent 50 days in the bush.
The Big question: are they all still alive?
ANOTHER INTERESTING PART OF PFIPC CONTROVERSY JUST UNFOLDED.
This latest revelation from TheCable raises an even more troubling question.
This was how Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council received an official approval from the Federal Government to recruit 300 members of staff.
According to documents published by TheCable, on August 7, 2025, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation issued a formal waiver approving the recruitment of 300 personnel for the PFIPC. The letter, signed by Mimi Abu, Director of Organisation Design and Development, was necessary because the Federal Government had placed an embargo on general recruitment into the civil service. In other words, this was not an ordinary approval. It was a special exemption given to Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi.
It reportedly authorised the recruitment of 10 Directors on Grade Level 17.
20 Assistant Directors on Grade Level 15.
Dozens of administrative officers across various grade levels.
45 planning officers.
32 commercial officers.
22 investment promotion officers.
26 accountants.
10 legal officers.
And procurement officers, programme analysts, information officers, statisticians, technical officers, confidential secretaries, drivers and several other categories of staff, bringing the total approved positions to 300.
Even more remarkable is the language of the letter itself.
It states that the approval was "based on and limited to the 2025 Approved Establishment position of the Agency." Read that line again!
Think about that for a moment.
Not the "purported agency."
Not the "alleged agency."
The Agency according to the head of service of the federation.
The letter also directed the PFIPC to obtain clearance from the Budget Office before recruitment, comply with the Federal Character principle, reserve five percent of the positions for persons living with disabilities, ensure officials from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service monitored the exercise, and submit the names of all successful candidates for official records.
These are not instructions one ordinarily associates with an organisation that supposedly never existed.
Then came another interesting detail.
Just 24 hours after the waiver was issued, Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi publicly celebrated the approval, thanking President Bola Tinubu for what he described as the government's support. He also announced that approval had been secured to establish PFIPC offices in all 36 states and to roll out 127 international offices around the world.
Whether those additional claims were true is a separate matter.
But the larger question refuses to go away.
If the Presidency insists that the PFIPC was a fabrication from beginning to end, how did a formal recruitment waiver emerge from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service?
How did an agency said not to exist have an "Approved Establishment" upon which recruitment was authorised?
And how did detailed recruitment instructions involving the Budget Office, Federal Character requirements and official monitoring come to be issued?
These are no longer questions that can be brushed aside with a simple denial. They deserve clear, verifiable answers from every institution whose name appears in this paper trail.
From the look of things, Nigerians may have been taken for a very expensive ride.
I remember Deborah Samuel who was killed in Sokoto in 2022. Her story has refused to leave my head. Today, I chose to revisit it.
Deborah was murdered in broad daylight. On May 12, 2022, a Muslim mob in Sokoto stoned her, set her on fire, and recorded it. Her crime? A comment on a WhatsApp group they called blasphemy.
Videos showed a crowd and many faces killing Deborah. Yet, only two men were arrested, and they were charged with criminal conspiracy and inciting public disturbance, offences that carry not more than 2 years imprisonment. 34 lawyers appeared in court in their defence. The charges did not reflect that Deborah was killed. THERE WAS NO MURDER CHARGE AGAINST ANYONE. In the end, even those two men were discharged after the prosecution disappeared and failed to pursue the case (a situation we believed was planned).
I also remembered how Atiku Abubakar first condemned Deborah's killing, then deleted the statement before later saying it had been posted without his approval. Atiku wants to be your President now.
Years have passed and no one has answered for Deborah Samuel's death. Despite a video showing many faces, no one has been arrested, tried or convicted for Deborah's death.
I don't know why I'm reminding you of Deborah. I only want you to know that Deborah could have been that your daughter, sister, wife, girlfriend or relative you cherished so much.
Continue to rest, Debby.

Tinubu’s administration has moved on and left them to their unfortunate fate 😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Please retweet this for the world to see.
Prince Adeyemi said he paid 400 million ($285,000) out of a 600 million ($429,000) deal with Gbajamiala.
The man also alleged that Gbajamiala asked for 48% of any grant given to the agency.
The media has been gagged so there'll be no wide coverage on the matter.
Thank you for your rapt attention.
Today makes it exactly 5 months since the 176 people kidnapped in Kwara were abducted. They were kidnapped on February 3, 2026.
These people are different from the 45 people kidnapped in Oyo state exactly 50 days ago.
Tinubu isn’t saying anything about them. He has failed.
Pastor has his church and home burned down by islamist mobs in Nigeria, they slaughtered 150 of his congregation.
No protests for Christians in Nigeria!
The UN remains silent!
A Nigerian teenager was thrown in prison at 14 years old and his name was changed by the police and prison officials so that his family will never find him.
He was only released 18 years later. Why is this story not trending? Jesus!
National Alert
The Nigerian security acting on the orders of Ms Emem Nnanna Etuk Usoro who is the CBN Deputy Governor in charge of operations has abducted a reporter with Secrets Reporters, Stanley Ugagbe, over a report on her being a side chic to Jerry Edirin and scattering her marriage according to the man’s wife court filings as well as owning two homes worth over N4 billion in the US.
He was abducted yesterday while coming from a training the company sent him to. Stanley is also the operations manager of the Network Against Corruption and Trafficking.
This is where it gets interesting
When I was told that the men who abducted him and brought him to his house to take his official phone and laptop came with the Israeli Tavor gun, I sent a message to the DG SSS, Tosin Ajayi.
He called me back quickly and I expressed my concern. While on the phone with me, Tosin called the Director of Operations to the office and asked “Did you arrest any Fejiro reporter and if it happened, who authorized such operation?”. The D.Ops said none of such happened.
DG immediately asked them to call the FCT command to ask about such arrest and that he will get back to me.
About one hour later, the FCT command director, Dauda Esq called me to tell me he is not in their custody. We spoke for minutes of the efforts the command has made to be sure none of their operatives carried out such.
The DG SSS I know already warned that he will not be party to using cybercrime charge against journalists or allow public figures use them for such which is why I had to involve him. I know this because his office refused to get involved in my case last year despite petition to them. He blatantly said no, before the rogue police force was now used.
Further findings showed that one of the men that came wore knickers and they came with unmarked tinted Pajero Mitsubishi, which is peculiar with the Nigerian Police.
I have called IGP Disu and his response on phone is very cold on the issue, same issue that DG SSS immediately attended to. Even the force PRO is not helping matters.
We have searched the police facilities in former SARS, FCT command and parts of police HQs and can’t find him there.
In a time where kidnapper and bandits are kidnapping innocent citizens, the Nigerian Police has turned to kidnappers to.
Cus tell me why you will go to outside station and not document your arrival to the base station before carrying out your operations. This is a case of kidnapping and assassination attempt against our staff by the Nigerian Police on the orders of CBN Deputy Governor Emem Usoro.
If the @PoliceNG is the new bandit in town, we deserve to know. You cannot keep abducting journalists on civil cases and hiding them for extrajudicial killings later.
The Police under @TunjiDisu1 should immediately release Stanley or charge him to court.
Fejiro Oliver
Just like that, we have moved on from the fact that Amupitan is an active APC agent/supporter who was seen commenting party dealings with @woye1.
And coincidentally, after he was unmasked, he sold the account and created a new one where he went back to follow the same @woye1, a known APC agent!
Nigerians have no memory that's why these people ride you like Victoria Cakes.
In less than a fortnight, toddlers will have spent two months (60 whole days) in the forest with animals in the name of kidnappers.
Unlike the ‘bring back our girls’ that went international, there isn’t even a hashtag for these kids.
Nigerians, it’s not fair o!!!💔
