Tragic News 💔
DNA test results have confirmed that the unidentified body deposited at an Ikorodu mortuäry was that of Pelumi Onifade.
- In 2020, Nigerian youths took to the streets during the #EndSARS protests. One of the reporters covering the event was Onifade Emmanuel Pelumi.
- On October 24, 2020, Pelumi was arrested and taken away by police officers in Agege despite explaining that he was a reporter. He was also wearing a jacket identifying him as a member of the press.
- A few days later, an unidentified body was discovered at a môrtuary in Ikorodu, Lagos, and it was speculated that the body belonged to Pelumi Onifade.
- In July 2024, the Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the Lagos State Government to conduct a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of Pelumi’s death and identify those responsible.
- The court also ordered the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) to perform a post-mortem examination on the unidentified body received from Ikorodu.
- LASUTH stated that Pelumi’s body could not initially be identified because DNA samples held at the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre were dëstroyed during the October 2020 #EndSARS unrest.
- After prolonged back-and-forth between the hospital and the court, a DNA test was eventually conducted using a sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- The magistrate revealed that the report confirmed a DNA match between the previously unidentified body and the sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- This development brings a painful confirmation for Pelumi’s family and loved ones, who have endured years of uncertainty while seeking answers and closure.
- Their counsel is now calling for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of Pelumi’s de@th.
- The case has been adjourned until July 7, 2026.
May the soul of the departed rest in peace. 💔
@DangoteGroup US-IRAN has officially ended the war, can we get a date the international drop in price reflects back on our local price. Nigerians deserve a fair treatment. 75₦ doesn't cut it. Thanks.
@originalproflle The lambasting sweet me... Is she a suspect and on what basis... Was there any alarm. If na real criminal drive pass now... You will be shaking on your boots.
@jon_d_doe The war has cooled down for over 2 months now, barrel price crashed down to 85 dollar per barrel. I have been waiting for good news, but this is the best they could come up with!!! "₦75". Black hearted political entrepreneurs.
It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sun’s power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity
Dangote refinery just reduced fuel gantry price by N75. From N1,250 to N1,175. And people are dancing.
Let me remind you what is actually happening here.
That same refinery changed its petrol price 15 times between March and May alone. 9 times in March. 6 increases and 3 decreases. So a N75 drop is not generosity. It is a correction inside a cycle of volatility they themselves created.
The gantry price is not what you pay at the pump. By the time it travels from Dangote’s loading bay through marketers, distributors, transporters and filling station owners, petrol in Lagos was still selling at N1,255 per litre even after a previous Dangote price cut. The gap does not close itself because it has widen.
Now Nigeria sits on crude oil. Dangote refinery accounted for 79% of petrol consumed in Nigeria in April. We are not a country without refining capacity anymore. So why is the benchmark still international crude pricing? Why are Nigerians, who own the crude in the ground, buying the finished product at import-equivalent rates?
A N75 reduction on a product that costs over N1,000 per litre is not a relief.
Dangote Abeg be careful.
NEVER install ANY government software on your smart phone. If compelled to do so, buy a cheap 2nd hand phone, that doesn’t have your bank apps, email, social media, contacts, cloud storage or any photos / videos on. USE LEGAL VPN SOFTWARE, the type that comes with any anti virus software bought today. Keep it switched off and in a drawer when not in use. Don’t build a bridge for them to enter your private life with by having government apps on your main phone, OR THEY WILL GET YOU.
