Our Reporters3 weeks ago3 weeks ago03 mins

Facts have begin to emerge on the real reasons behind the death of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju popularly known as Success. The late boxer slumped and died in Round Three, according to the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control, Secretary General Remi Aboderin was on his way back to Nigeria but chose to return for the bout that claimed his life. “Segun (Olanrewaju) got our approval to fight in Ghana, a fight that was proposed to take place on a Friday. Unfortunately, they did weigh-in on Thursday and he was found to be overweight and they told him the person he was to fight was not his weight. “They said to do this, they would increase his purse with another $500, which he said was too small, and due to that, there was no agreement. “Saturday morning, they (Nigerian contigents) were on their way back to Lagos, they had even left Accra and were at Aflao border when Segun said to the coach that followed him, that’s Diran Alamu, that it was not going to be easy returning home; he left Nigeria with no money and he had debts to pay and needed money. “He called the Ghanaians and see if another fight was coming up and told them he was now ready to collect the additional $500 as discussed because he felt it would not pay him if he returned home without money. “So, they called the matchmaker, who informed him that there was a fight on Saturday night and that they could put the fight for that Saturday, but we didn’t give him the approval for that, and this is where the Ghana Boxing Association (GBA) erred. “So, he turned back and went back to Ghana because he needed the money; he owed a lot of people money,” the NBBofC secretary explained.

Former Minster of Education, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili assured that embattled Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan will not walk alone in the struggle for a just society. Ezekwesili, also an erstwhile Minister of Solid Mineral, gave this assurance in a post on her official twitter handle on Monday. She wrote; “This morning, I again remembered the all- time quote of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan: ‘This Injustice shall not be sustained.’ “I agree. Societies that have kept sustaining injustice are the ones that are stuck in lowest economic growth, pernicious poverty and widespread inequality. So, we should all not agree for the injustice being inflicted on Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan to be sustained. “Can the Senate and Senator Godswill Akpabio tell Nigerians why they have persisted in denying their courageous colleague, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the right to fair hearing and impartial investigation of her Sexual Harassment petition against the Senate President? “Why is Senator Akpabio obstructing every opportunity for an impartial Senate inquiry into this matter? Why is he dodging the opportunity that can help him prove his innocence of the serious allegation leveled by his female colleague? “Why are Senator Akpabio’s colleagues in the Senate supporting such obstruction in gross violation of the same “Senate Rules” they used in illegally suspending Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan?,” She queried. Ezekwesili also emphasised that the Senate cannot pretend to be “moving on” regarding this case, saying the injustice cannot be sustained. “There’s no “moving on” possible without accountability, transparency and due process on this case of massive abuse of power by our country’s #3 top ranking public figure. “Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan is never walking alone on this case. “Never,” She exclaimed.
