Nyesom Wike, Chinda Were Teenagers When My Husband As Engineer Built Abuja 42 Years Ago — Octogenarian Wife Of Late Col Ogbebor |

Published

Ogbebor said that it would be belittling to reach out to the president or make any form of appeal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

 

 

The wife of the late Colonel Paul Ogbebor, Mrs Rita Lori Ogbebor, has stated that her late husband was among those who built the Nigerian capital city, Abuja.

She said it would therefore be inappropriate for the present government of Bola Tinubu to forcefully take over their lands which they had been in possession for over four decades.

On Wednesday, SaharaReporters reported how residents of Life Camp area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, cried out in response to the FCT Minister, Nyseom Wike’s revocation of their land interests.

In multiple videos uploaded on X (formerly Twitter), the FCT officials were seen storming the community with a bulldozer to demolish the houses but they were resisted by the residents.

The residents claimed that there was a subsisting court order stopping the FCT administration from demolishing their houses and declaring the revocation of their interests as illegal.

Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, a social media influencer, said in one of the videos that the revoked land belonged to a late prominent military soldier whose family members are currently occupying it.

He said the FCT minister revoked the land and reallocated it back to his cronies.

Commenting on these developments at a press conference on Friday, Mrs Ogbebor said she would rather die than appeal to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the land dispute case between Paullosa Nigeria Limited, an estate management company owned by her late husband, and the authorities of the Federal Capital Territory.

Ogbebor said that it would be belittling to reach out to the president or make any form of appeal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Ogbebor, however, stated that her husband was one of those who built Abuja, adding that persons who were close to the President should know her and take the matter to the President.

“I am not saying the President should know me, but the people, the leaders, who surround and advise the President should know people like us, who oil the wheel of progress in this country. And when there is a problem like this, they should intervene, and if it is above them, they should take it to the president.

“My husband was one of those who built Abuja; they gave him a piece of land to work as an engineer. He brought people from all over the world to work with him. Now, after 42 years, they want to demolish it and give it to Chinda? Who is Chinda?

“If you take Chinda’s age today and the period we have been here, Chinda was only 14 years old. And so is Wike. Is that not belittling of me at the age of 84, to go and meet the president, ‘Mr. President, someone in my country is demolishing my house? No. I would rather die,” she said.

Kidnappers Took Loan With My Phone – Victim Recounts Ordeal

Published

A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.

According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.

She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.

With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.

The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.

She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.

“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps

A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.

The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.

Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.

Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.

In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).

 

The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.

One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”

Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
