Lagos APC, LGAs go spiritual after losing five women leaders in succession

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State and staff of the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs, are seeking spiritual intervention after the mysterious death of five women leaders in some councils across the state.

The mainstream and social media were agog with the news of the sudden deaths of the women leaders in quick successions.

DAILY POST reports that the most recently deceased is a Council Manager in Coker Aguda LCDA, Mrs Adebimpe Akinola, who died Monday, September 29, 2025, making it the fifth within two months.

The incidents have heightened fear among female local government officials in Lagos.

It will also be recalled that after a resounding victory at the polls, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had, on July 27, 2025, sworn-in the newly elected Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of the 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs in the state, signaling the commencement of fresh administration at the grassroots.

Sanwo-Olu, at the well attended event, held at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, charged the Chairmen to see their election as an opportunity to serve the people and deepen development at the local government level by delivering dividends of democracy.

The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission, LASIEC, led by Justice Bola Okikiolu-Ighile, had presented certificates of return to the elected Chairmen and Councilors who emerged winners in the LG polls in the state.

Reacting to the mysterious deaths, the Lagos APC, through its spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, described them as painful and shocking.

Oladejo stated that the party was in the process of setting up a special committee to look into the incidents with the view to determining causes of deaths and preventing such in future.

Prayer interventions were also said to be considered to ward off the spirit of death across the councils.

“We have a plan in place as a party. We’re just waiting for a reasonable mourning period to pass. There is already a committee working on the intervention plan,” he said.

Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer petitions World Medical Association over IPOB leader’s failing heath

The legal team of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has written the World Medical Association, WMA, over the deteriorating health of the agitator in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS. The letter, dated October 3, 2025, was written by the law offices of Bruce Fein, Washington
Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer petitions World Medical Association over IPOB leader’s failing heath

The legal team of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has written the World Medical Association, WMA, over the deteriorating health of the agitator in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS.

The letter, dated October 3, 2025, was written by the law offices of Bruce Fein, Washington D.C., and addressed to Dr. Jacqueline Kitulu, President of the World Medical Association.

The Registrar of the Federal High Court, Abuja, the Director General, Department of State Services, DSS, the Nigeria Medical and Dental Council, and the President of the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, were all copied in the letter.

The letter informed the World Medical Association that Kanu has been denied proper medical care for four years, since his arrest in Kenya and rendition to Nigeria in 2021. It noted that the IPOB leader is currently suffering life-threatening ailments that arose due to his incarceration in solitary confinement.

The letter asked the WMA to investigate the alleged manipulation of Kanu’s medical records by the DSS.

Parts of the letter read: “I represent Biafran leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a nation with a population of over 70 million. He has been detained in a Nigerian dungeon in solitary confinement for more than four years without a trial. He was kidnapped and tortured in Nairobi, Kenya in June 2021. Both Kenyan and Nigerian authorities were the perpetrators of the crimes, according to a July opinion of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued in July 2022. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been deprived of proper medical care by Nigerian authorities for acute ailments caused by the Kenyan-Nigerian governments. The deprivation has now reached a life-threatening threshold as elaborated below.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is asking that the WMA intercede with the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), warning of suspension from WMA for unethical practices regarding Mr. Kanu unless his medical care without tarry satisfies the highest professional care and his critical care providers are left free from intimidation, harassment, or prosecution.

“Among other things, we summon the WMA to undertake the following, directly or through the Nigerian Medical Association:

Investigate and address the manipulation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s medical records in the Department of Security Services (DSS) custody.

Protect independent medical practitioners from retaliation for providing medical care to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, particularly Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji, whose intervention has been lifesaving.

Guarantee the immediate release of the NMA medical team’s report of 22 September 2025, which Nigeria’s Federal High Court has directed must be filed within four days.

Recognize and respond to the grave risks posed by untreated conditions, especially tinnitus-induced sleep deprivation, which continues to endanger Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s life.”

Giving a background of Kanu’s case, the letter included a testimony of how the IPOB leader was arrested in Kenya, repatriated to Nigeria, and subsequently detained in DSS custody.

The letter said: “The following is the undisputed testimony of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (MNK) corroborated by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention in directing his immediate and unconditional release by the Government of Nigeria. On arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi in June 2021, MNK was violently abducted by masked operatives, manhandled, and dragged into captivity. For eight days, MNK was chained by the leg to a wall in a pitch-dark, windowless room.

“On the very first day, MNK’s head was slammed against the edge of a car door, resulting in an open wound that bled onto his clothing. The pain was sharp, his vision blurred, and dizziness set in almost immediately. For the first five days, MNK was denied even the basic essentials of life: no food, no water, and none of his long-prescribed medications. This deprivation nearly suffocated MNK, producing severe difficulty in breathing and overwhelming weakness.

“On the fifth day, when his body began to fail, a doctor was summoned. His blood pressure was dangerously high. MNK was given a 40mg dose of Amlodipine along with a strange red wine–coloured liquid. Soon after, a cardiologist performed an ECG examination, but its results were never disclosed to MNK, who was treated as an object, not as a patient, with strict instructions issued to the doctors not to explain or converse. From the evening of that fifth day until MNK’s forced rendition from Nairobi to Abuja on the eighth, MNK was compelled to ingest 40mg Amlodipine daily, an unidentified white tablet, and an unmarked gel-like substance.

“MNK’s treatment in Kenya — earmarked by brutality, secrecy, and denial of basic medical rights — left him gravely weakened by the time of his criminal unlawful transfer to Nigeria.

“At the Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA) facility in Abuja, MNK was immediately placed on 10mg Amlodipine and a diuretic. There was no improvement in his condition.

“Within days, MNK was moved to the DSS detention facility. Blood analysis there revealed a life-threatening potassium deficiency. MNK’s levels had collapsed to a life-ending 1.9 mmol/L. MNK was then placed on: potassium supplements; Amlodipine 10mg/Valsartan 160mg; Eplerenone 50mg; Bisoprolol 5mg (later increased to 10mg). Whenever potassium supplements were withdrawn, MNK’s levels plummeted again to the same life-threatening range. At one stage, the DSS sent MNK’s blood samples to South Africa for testing, which confirmed severe potassium depletion but gave no explanation for its cause. Rather than pursue the potassium depletion, the DSS dismissed the honest doctor who had recommended further investigations and replaced him with Dr. Nasiru Mohammed.”

“Falsification of Medical Records and Continuing Symptoms: From the moment he assumed control, Dr. Nasiru Mohammed began falsifying MNK’s test results, recording normal potassium levels when in reality they were dangerously low. When challenged as to why a potassium-sparing drug like Eplerenone was still prescribed if MNK’s potassium was supposedly normal, he provided no medical justification. Under his faux care, MNK continued to experience:

Frequent nosebleeds, fainting episodes and near-collapse, severe light-headedness, unrelenting chest pains on his left side, debilitating headaches and swelling of the feet.

“Over 50 blood samples have been taken during MNK’s time in DSS custody, but these have yielded no improvement in his health under the management of DSS-appointed doctors.

“The Role of Independent Physicians: MNK’s longtime personal physician, Dr. Cfine, who has treated him faithfully for decades, was barred from access and intimidated into silence. This exclusion lasted until the intervention of Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji, a globally respected surgeon and medical teacher. It was his timely intervention that saved MNK from imminent collapse. Under his professional and ethical care:

MNK’s potassium level rose modestly from 2.1 to 2.9 mmol/L — still below safe levels, but a clear sign of genuine medical progress.

MNK’s episodes of nosebleeds, fainting, and light-headedness ceased.

Swollen feet reduced, and the headaches subsided to occasional rather than constant.

In addition, Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji confirmed and documented broader systemic health problems, including:

Liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder, prostate, and white matter disease

And most critically, tinnitus — the constant internal “chirping” sound in MNK’s ears that often makes sleep impossible, still persists, and makes his life unbearable.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji’s intervention, MNK’s health would have deteriorated beyond recovery. Yet instead of supporting him, the DSS has subjected him to the same pattern of intimidation used against Dr. Cfine.”

The letter stated the Danger of Tinnitus and Sleep Deprivation.

“Among the gravest threats to MNK’s survival today is tinnitus. The incessant chirping in his ears is more than a nuisance.

It robs MNK of sleep, sometimes making rest completely impossible.

It exacerbates MNK’s hypertension.

It magnifies chest pain, fainting risks, and psychological strain.

It undermines MNK’s body’s natural capacity to heal.

DSS doctors once proposed to drain fluid from MNK’s inner ear but abandoned the plan due to the risk of permanent hearing loss. Since then, no serious effort has been made to treat this condition, even though its effects are cumulative and potentially devastating. Sleep deprivation, when combined with existing hypertension, organ strain, and potassium instability, places MNK in immediate danger of stroke, collapse, or sudden death.”

The letter also informed the World Medical Association of details of the NMA Medical Assessment of 22 September 2025.

It stated: “On Tuesday, 22 September 2025, a panel of NMA doctors, acting under the directive of the Attorney-General of the Federation, assessed MNK in the presence of his brother and Dr. Mohammed. Their findings fully corroborated the diagnoses made by Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji and identified yet another condition requiring nasal surgery.

‘Falsification of medical records by DSS-appointed doctors is a grave violation of medical ethics.

“Intimidation of independent physicians undermines patient care and public trust.

‘Denial of MNK’s right under Rule 27 of the Mandela Rules to be treated by a physician of his choice.

“Failure to disclose test results or medications breaches the principle of informed consent.

“Neglect of tinnitus and sleep deprivation shows a reckless disregard for the life-threatening impact of untreated conditions.”

“We respectfully call upon the WMA to direct the Nigeria Medical Association, at the risk of suspension, to:

“Ensure immediate release of the NMA report of 22 September 2025 to the Federal High Court within the mandated four-day window.

“Affirm and protect the role of Emeritus Professor Martin Aghaji as MNK’s physician of choice, free from intimidation.

“Investigate the conduct of Dr. Nasiru Mohammed and other DSS-appointed doctors for falsification of results.

“Recognize tinnitus and sleep deprivation as urgent dangers requiring immediate medical response.

“Institute an independent oversight mechanism to guarantee medical ethics and patient rights in cases involving MNK and other detainees in Nigeria.”

“Without immediate decisive action by the WMA and NMA, Nigeria’s criminal medical neglect of MNK may prove fatal.”

Kemi Badenoch unveils ‘radical borders plan,’ targets deportation of 150,000 illegal migrants annually

The Leader of the UK Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has unveiled an ambitious immigration overhaul dubbed the “Radical Borders Plan,” pledging to deport 150,000 illegal migrants every year as part of what she described as Britain’s “toughest border reforms in history.” In a video message released via her official X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday,
Kemi Badenoch unveils ‘radical borders plan,’ targets deportation of 150,000 illegal migrants annually

The Leader of the UK Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has unveiled an ambitious immigration overhaul dubbed the “Radical Borders Plan,” pledging to deport 150,000 illegal migrants every year as part of what she described as Britain’s “toughest border reforms in history.”

In a video message released via her official X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday, Badenoch announced the creation of a new Removals Force, modeled after the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, to tackle illegal migration head-on.

“My message is simple, if you are in the UK illegally, you will be detained and deported,” Badenoch declared.

The opposition leader sharply criticised both past Conservative and Labour governments, accusing them of allowing Britain’s border system to collapse under the weight of illegal crossings and mismanaged asylum policies.

“Labour promised to smash the gangs,” she said. “Instead, they delivered record small boat crossings, over 50,000 illegal arrivals, 32,000 people in asylum hotels, and billions of pounds wasted. It’s pure weakness.”

Badenoch’s proposed reforms outline a dramatic shift in the UK’s migration policy.

The plan calls for an immediate ban on asylum claims from illegal entrants, the withdrawal of the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and the repeal of the Human Rights Act.

The proposal also includes deporting all illegal arrivals within seven days, removing legal barriers to mass deportations, and imposing visa sanctions on countries that refuse to accept their nationals back.

According to Badenoch, the plan would “end the asylum hotel industry,” save billions in taxpayer funds, and restore public trust in Britain’s border system.

“Only the Conservatives have the courage and clarity to fix this,” she asserted. “If you come here illegally, you will be deported.”

Badenoch’s announcement comes amid mounting public pressure on the government to reduce illegal migration and after months of criticism over the rising number of small boat crossings across the English Channel.

Igbo communities in Canada demand Nnamdi Kanu’s release, cite deteriorating health

The Igbo communities in Canada have called on President Bola Tinubu to order the immediate and unconditional release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The Igbo communities in Canada have called on President Bola Tinubu to order the immediate and unconditional release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The groups said the call became urgently necessary due to the worsening health condition of Nnamdi Kanu and the alarming state of insecurity in the Southeast region.

In a statement signed by the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Canada, Chief Dr. Anicetus Nwizundu (Okanga Ogadagidi), the group expressed deep concern over Kanu’s continued detention in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) for over four years despite repeated appeals for his freedom.

“We, the Igbo people living in Canada, stand united in calling upon the Federal Government of Nigeria to intervene compassionately in this matter and facilitate the unconditional release of our brother, Nnamdi Kanu,” the statement said.

Nwizundu noted that Kanu’s health condition has deteriorated seriously, as confirmed by several medical experts, including cardiologists who have examined him during hospital visits. He warned that further detention could endanger his life.

“We implore the Federal Government to act swiftly to release him from custody before it’s too late,” the statement urged.

The president also highlighted that Kanu’s incarceration was a result of his persistent advocacy against the marginalization of the Igbo people in Nigeria. He stressed that the Igbo community is not seeking confrontation but fairness and justice within the Nigerian federation.

“The Igbo do not seek trouble; they yearn for recognition, equality, and peace as Nigerians. Yet, they are treated as second-class citizens in their own country,” the statement lamented.

Nwizundu further expressed worry over the worsening insecurity in the Southeast, describing the situation as “terrifying and disheartening.”

“There is no safety in Igboland today. One cannot travel without fear, nor sleep peacefully at night owing to insecurity pervasive across various parts of our land,” he stated.

The group maintained that releasing Nnamdi Kanu would help restore calm and unity in the region, paving the way for sustainable peace and development.

“With his release, we envision correction of many wrongs afflicting our homeland, paving the way for total peace,” Chief Nwizundu added.

The statement concluded with an appeal to President Tinubu to demonstrate compassion and statesmanship by ensuring Kanu’s freedom in the interest of national healing and unity.
