President Bola Tinubu privately met with suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, in London.According to The Africa Report, the meeting was held at the insistence of Governor Fubara to work out modalities for returning Rivers State to the path of peace. This meeting would be the first since Tinubu suspended Fubara and invoked a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18. He appointed Navy Vice-Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas as sole administrator. A Presidential aide who was privy to the meeting confirmed that the meeting actually took place, and added that It was aimed at restoring peace to the troubled oil-bearing community. According to the Presidential aide, The meeting was part of the efforts by the President to find a lasting solution to the ongoing political crisis in that region. It was also gathered that Fubaras estranged political godfather, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, was not part of the meeting and was reportedly uneasy about such discussions taking place without him. However, Tinubu is expected to meet with Fubara, Wike, and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to chart a lasting resolution to the political crisis in the state.The new development comes after an earlier meeting held between Nyesom Wike and the Lawmakers loyal to him in the Rivers State House of Assembly which also took place in London.  The post Emergency rule: Fubara meets Tinubu in UK appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

The Lagos Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, says the best person to tell a childs real age is a mother and not a birth certificate.  Jimoh shared this opinion while speaking on Channels TV on Tuesday, April 22. He appeared on the TV station to address issues surrounding the 17-year-old viral sensation, Quadri Yusuf, who was arrested in January this year and was remanded in prison custody.  Following a public outcry, he was released last week from prison custody. In his interview with Channels TV this morning, the Police chief was questioned on why a minor was arrested, arraigned and remanded in prison custody. Responding, he saidThe record we have is that the boy stated that he is 18 and the best person to tell you the actual age of a person is the parent, not birth certificate that the lawyer is parading. It should be investigated because birth certificates are not issued inside phones. We all know how birth certificates are issued. Even if it is declaration of age, it is equally not issued inside a phone”Quadri became a viral sensation after he was captured on camera standing before Peter Obi’s convoy.  The post The best person to tell a childs age is a mother not birth certificate – Lagos Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, says appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
