If the president had wanted to win the Osun State election at all costs, I would be involved, and I would have been there, and Governor Adeleke would have known that it would have been different.

🚨 Manchester United confirm they have secured the majority of the land required to build a new 100,000-seater stadium.
The club acquired the 25-acre site located approximately 350m north-west of Old Trafford from Indurent.
The Tiger Base police unit Owerri Imo state is notorious for deaths in custody.
1. Our investigation reveals that in 2022, three youth leaders handed over a suspect to the Tiger Base unit. About three months later, the suspect, a young man, Okechukwu Ogbedagu, died in detention. Amnesty International reviewed an autopsy report which revealed that the deceased victim suffered severe injuries to the neck, including broken neck bones, bleeding around the neck, and damage consistent with strong pressure applied to the neck. These injuries indicate that the neck was forcibly compressed and violently bent or twisted. Such actions would have blocked breathing and blood flow to the brain, leading to suffocation.
This demonstrates that the deceased may have been subjected to torture and ill-treatment. To cover up this atrocity, Tiger Base officials charged with murder the three youth leaders who reported the deceased. They were eventually released on bail after spending six months in deplorable conditions in Tiger Base detention cells.
2. Another concerning incident is the case of Japhet Njoku, a security guard accused of theft, who died in Tiger Base detention on 6 May 2025. To conceal their actions, Tiger Base officials told his family—after repeated demands for answers—that he was beaten to death in the cell by other inmates.
However, an autopsy report reviewed by Amnesty International revealed that he died from severe pneumonia, which impaired his breathing and significantly reduced oxygen levels. He had been held for several months in a Tiger Base cell under harsh, cold, and unsanitary conditions, without proper medical care, conditions that likely contributed to his death. Before the coroner‑ordered autopsy to determine the cause of death could be conducted, Tiger Base officials repeatedly obstructed the process.
