NDYCN Lambastes Impostor Becham Ufuoma, Dismisses Claims as False, Reaffirms Support for Dr. Otuaro,

NDYCN lambastes Imposter Becham Ufuoma, Describes Claims as False, Reaffirms Support for Dr Otuaro  By EgbemaVoice, The Niger Delta Youth Council of Nigeria (NDYCN) has distanced itself from a misleading publication made by Mr. Becham Ufuoma, who has been falsely claiming to be the President of the organization. In a statement, Amb. Blessing Adogbeji, the National President of NDYCN, described Ufuoma as an imposter who has never been elected, appointed, or endorsed by the organization. The statement emphasized that NDYCN has only one recognized National President, Amb. Blessing Adogbeji, and that Ufuoma's statements do not represent the organization. The NDYCN also reaffirmed its support for the Presidential Amnesty Programme, led by Chief (Dr.) Dennis Otuaro, describing his administration as the most peaceful, stable, and development-driven since the programme's inception. The organization warned that it will not tolerate impersonation and urged the public to disre...

RCCG YOUTH PASTOR SENTENCED TO DEATH!.

RCCG YOUTH PASTOR SENTENCED TO DEATH!. A shocking case has shaken the community as a Youth Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Akolade Arowolo, has been sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of his wife, Titilayo Arowolo, a banker with Skye Bank. The Ikeja High Court, presided over by Justice Lateefat Okunu, found Arowolo guilty of the heinous crime, citing overwhelming evidence presented by the prosecution. The court heard that Titilayo suffered 76 stab wounds, and a forensic report by Prof. John Oladapo Obafunwa, a pathologist, revealed that she could not have inflicted the wounds on herself. Arowolo's claims that his wife was possessed by an evil spirit and inflicted the wounds on herself were dismissed by the court. The prosecution presented testimony from family members, including Titilayo's father, George Oyakhire, and sister, Ijeh, who stated that the couple had a troubled marriage. Arowolo's co-tenant, Adewale Adeyemi, testified...

PUBLIC ADVISORY ON INDIGENESHIP, MIGRATION, AND PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE IN THE NIGER DELTA__ MINGO

PUBLIC ADVISORY ON INDIGENESHIP, MIGRATION, AND PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE IN THE NIGER DELTA__ MINGO  The continuous claims and counter-claims of exclusive indigeneity in major Niger Delta cities such as Sapele, Warri, Port Harcourt, and other communities across Edo, Ondo, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River States are unhelpful and unsustainable. These cities have evolved over centuries into multi-ethnic spaces where diverse groups now coexist, contribute, and call home. It is important to acknowledge that migration, settlement, and assimilation have shaped the Niger Delta from the pre-colonial era to the present day. Many ethnic nationalities founded ancestral settlements, while others joined later through peaceful migration and gradually became part of the socio-cultural fabric of these communities. I therefore use this medium to advise ethnic groups claiming sole ownership of these cities to approach such issues with caution, history, and dialogue. Excl...

PAP Dismisses Video Containing False Allegations Against Otuaro ,

Reads Press Statement PAP Dismisses Video Containing False Allegations Against Otuaro  The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has dismissed as baseless and malicious the recent allegations made by Mr Jude Gbaboyor against the Administrator of the Programme, Dr Dennis Otuaro. In a video circulating on Facebook, which he purportedly recorded in the United States, Gbaboyor levelled grave and unfounded accusations against Dr Otuaro, including claims of murder, ritualism, and kidnapping. However, the PAP in a statement issued by the Special Assistant on Media to the Administrator, Mr Igoniko Oduma, on Monday, stated that the video in which he called for the Administrator's removal, represents yet another desperate attempt by Gbaboyor to defame Otuaro's character and undermine the credible work of the Programme. The statement added that Gbaboyor now a fugitive committed the crimes of cyberstalking among others and decided to flee the country to evade arrest and prosecu...

IPF Condemns House of Representatives’ Threat to PAP Administrator, Chief Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro,

8th December, 2025 WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE  PRESS STATEMENT IJAW PUBLISHERS' FORUM (IPF) On the Threat by the House of Representatives Against the PAP Administrator, Chief Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro (PhD.) The Ijaw Publishers' Forum (IPF) expresses deep concern over the 72-hour ultimatum issued by the House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, alongside threats of issuing a warrant for his arrest. While Sections 88, 89, and 128 of the 1999 Constitution empower the National Assembly to conduct oversight functions, we strongly appeal for caution in applying these powers to a programme as delicate as the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP). It is necessary to state clearly that the news and allegations being referenced by the Committee relate to an Amnesty Audit Report of 2021, a period long before Chief Dr. Otuaro assumed office. Chief Otuaro was appointed in 2024, and therefore should not be associated with issues ar...

However, community leaders expressed concern over the slow pace of implementation despite three official assessment visits between May and July 2025.

By Egbemavoice, THE IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL (IYC) EGBEMA CLAN (EGBEMA KINGDOM) IN EDO STATE EXPRESS REGRET OVER SUPPORT FOR DEPUTY GOVERNOR HON. DENNIS IDAHOSA FOLLOWING THE ABERE AND AJAKURAMA LAND DISPUTE The IYC Egbema Clan of Edo State, (Egbema Kingdom) under the leadership of Comr. Engr. Lawoni Dumofaye the Egbema Clan Chairman, issue this statement with deep disappointment and a profound sense of betrayal. Our people stood firmly behind Deputy Governor Hon. Dennis Idahosa during his election, believing he would act as a voice of justice and a defender of truth. However, his recent comments on the Abere and Ajakurama land judgement have proven to be lacking in fairness, historical accuracy, and respect for the communities that gave him their mandate. The judgement in question is not just a legal matter, it is an attempt to distort the truth of our ancestry and undermine our heritage. Instead of defending justice, the Deputy Governor made statements that dismiss...

Ajakurama Development Initiative Rebukes Edo Deputy Governor Over Misleading Claims on Abere–Ajakurama Land Dispute,

PRESS STATEMENT Ajakurama Development Initiative Condemns Edo State Deputy Governor’s Careless and Misleading Remarks on Abere–Ajakurama Land Dispute The Ajakurama Development Initiative (ADI) strongly condemns the recent remarks made by the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Rt. Hon. Dennis Idahosa, regarding the long-standing land dispute between the Abere and Ajakurama communities. This dispute, earlier in 2025, resulted in violent attacks, severe persons injuries sustained by Ajakurama youths. During a peace meeting held at the Government House, Benin City, the Deputy Governor urged both communities to “embrace peace,” while asserting that the disputed land forms part of the Government’s Forest Reserve. ADI considers this statement careless, provocative, and a deliberate distortion of historical and traditional facts. It attempts to undermine the ancestral ownership rights of both Ijaw communities and misinform the general public. OUR POSITION 1. The Land Belongs to Ajakuram...

Ogidigba Condemns Reps’ Attempt to Arrest PAP Boss Otuaro — Says Niger Delta Peace Must Not Be Jeopardized,

By EgbemaVoice, Abuja — The Chairman of the Third Phase Delegates of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Godstime Ogidigba, has strongly condemned the threat by the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts to issue an arrest warrant on the Presidential Amnesty Programme Coordinator, Chief Dennis Otuaro. Ogidigba described the move as unwarranted, abrupt, and potentially harmful to the ongoing peace-building efforts in the Niger Delta.

No More Ransom, No More Talks With Terrorists — Defence Minister Declares,

Nigeria’s new Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, has drawn a hard line against terrorism and kidnapping, declaring that the Federal Government will no longer negotiate with terrorists or allow ransom payments under any circumstance. He made this clear during his confirmation screening at the National Assembly. Once you pay ransom, you empower criminals to regroup, re-arm and attack again, he warned. According to him, communities that once negotiated with terrorists were later attacked again — proving that negotiation only strengthens criminals. 💻 Why Nigeria Is Losing the Security War — Gen Musa Explains The Defence Minister revealed that military force alone accounts for just 25–30% of security success. The other causes are: ✅ Poverty ✅ Unemployment ✅ Weak governance ✅ Poor intelligence sharing ✅ Slow justice system He also stressed that Nigeria desperately needs a single unified national database linking: Banks Security agencies BVN & NIN Immigration Tele...
