 Pastor Accused Of Brutalising Rivers TV Worker


A staff of the Rivers State Television (RSTV) Glorious Abel has accused security officers attached to a Port Harcourt-based pastor, Senior Prophet U.O Miracle, of brutalising him. 


Punch reported that the pastor had visited the Television office in Elelenwo in the company of his security detail at about 11pm on Thursday, October 6, when the incident occurred.


Narrating his ordeal, Abel said trouble started when the prophet sent a programme for airing to him through an aide last week.


"When he came, I checked the programme. It was about 38 minutes and above the normal time, we are supposed to put on the air. So to enable me to accommodate other programmes, I had to cut part of it," he told the publication. 


Abel who was the Operations Director on duty, further said while the programme was on, the prophet tried to reach him but could not get through because he had blocked him following previous cases which he describes as a disturbance.


"So he now used one of his aide’s numbers to call me. When he called me, he asked somebody to tell me to come outside my office. I replied that I can’t go outside because it was late, about past 10 pm. While I was inside doing my job, I heard another knock. When I got there I saw one of our security staff who told me that the acting General Manager of RSTV asked him to pick something from the reception stand.


“I told him to show me what he wanted so that I could give it to him. But he insisted that I should open the office that the acting GM asked him to pick something inside. Immediately I opened the gate, I saw the pastor who came down from his car with some armed security men. They hit me with their gun and beat me up.


"As you can see, my face is swollen. They held me on the floor and beat me up. If I show you my back you will see scars. Then they took me to an unknown destination. The experience was terrible,” he said tearfully.


Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the incident said said investigation was ongoing.


"The command is aware of the matter and we are investigating. Details of our investigations would be made public in the end,” she added.

The tropical nation of Maldives has quit the commonwealth saying the inter-governmental organisation had taken punitive actions against the Maldives despite its progress in strengthening democratic institutions. The South Asian country announced on Thursday its decision to leave in a statement via its Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  The statement said: “The Maldives joined the Commonwealth in 1982 with high hopes and expectations, convinced that the organisation will be an arena for coordinating critical issues that the member States, in particular, the smallest members of the organisation face. Since 2012, the Government of Maldives has been giving maximum cooperation to the Commonwealth, shown maximum transparency, and engaged with the Commonwealth at the highest levels. The Government had high hopes that such level of engagement will produce fruitful results. Regrettably, the Commonwealth has not recognised that progress and achievements that the Maldives accomplished ...

2023: 'I Wish Peter Obi Was Not An Igbo Man'       ▪Sometimes I just wish that Peter Obi was from another Tribe but not Igbo so I can campaign for him without anyone thinking I'm doing so because he's Igbo or people rejecting the best candidate just because of his tribe.  It's difficult being black... Even more difficult being Nigerian and most difficult being Igbo.        ▪Yesterday, someone told me that Peter Obi is a good leader but because of IPOB and their Biafra agitation, he won't vote for him. I  asked him what he thinks about Boko Haram and Shettima... He kept quiet so I told him that his Problem is not IPOB or even Peter but his HATRED for the Igbos which he never realised existed. I asked him if he would vote for Peter Obi if he wasn't an Igbo man. He kept quiet. I then asked him to start seeing Peter Obi as "Peter Ahmed Doyin". We laughed but deep down, I wished that Peter Obi wasn't an Igbo man or at least, that Nigerians are not...
