Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, Femi Adesina announced via his FB page that President Buhari made a call from London to former Ekiti state governor, Niyi Adebayo.

The former governor recently lost his father, the former governor of the defunct Western Region, Major-General Adeyinka Adebayo.

Below are the details as shared by Femi Adesina:

"President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday described the late former governor of the defunct Western Region, Major-General Adeyinka Adebayo, as a true patriot.

"In a telephone call from London to the son of the late general and former governor of Ekiti State, Niyi Adebayo, the President lamented that Nigeria will surely miss the uncommon patriotism and nationalism which General Adebayo typified.

"The President also commiserated with the people of Ekiti State and the entire Yoruba race, noting that the late octogenarian while standing firmly for the unity of the country, also fought for the interest of his people as the President of the Yoruba Council of Elders.

"President Buhari prayed that Almighty God will console the Adebayo family and grant the soul of the departed elder statesman eternal rest.

"Mr Niyi Adebayo, while thanking President Buhari for the call and commiserations, also wished the President good health."

The Peace Corps of Nigeria (PCN) has filed a N2 billion suit against the Attorney–General of the Federation (AGF), Inspector–General of Police (IGP) and the Director-General of the Department of State Service (DSS) over the unlawful arrest and detention of its National Commandant, Dickson Akoh and 49 others last week.

A team of DSS officials and the police on February 28th, raided the headquarters of the security agent, arrested its authorities and paraded them before newsmen. The police spokeperson, Jimoh Moshood, at the press conference alleged that the group had been infiltrated by some terrorists.

In a suit filed by its counsel, Kanu Agabi (SAN) at the Federal High Court Abuja, authorities of Peace Corps described as unlawful the raid of their organization's new Headquarters by a combined team of Police and the DSS last week. It is demanding for a sum of N2 billion as compensation for the embarrassment caused on the organisation and its Incorporated Trustees. PCN is asking the court to also declare as illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional the arrest of Akoh and other officers of the Corps as well as the sealing up of its Head office in Abuja and offices in the 36 States of the Federation.

They are also asking the court to declare that the sealing up of their office Headquarters in Abuja is illegal, unlawful, malicious and unconstitutional having not committed any offence to warrant the unlawful invasion and seizure of properties.

According to them, they are entitled to Fundamental Rights to acquire and own properties, lawful assembly, freedom of movement, personal liberty and dignity of their human persons as guaranteed under sections 34, 35, 40, 41, and 43 of the 1999 constitution.

They also asked the court to issue a directive to the police and DSS to unseal the Headquarters of the Peace Corps of Nigeria and its offices nationwide and release properties seized during the invasion of their property.

The case comes up for hearing today.

Before his demise, Uche was due to travel on Saturday after a total of N15m was reportedly raised for his treatment abroad through donations by well-meaning Nigerians, including Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State.

Owolabi of the Physical and Health Education Department caused the death of Kolawole by stabbing him with a bottle.

Leicester City football club of England, the defending champions of England have announced Craig Shakespeare, assistant coach turned caretaker manager, as its new head coach till the season's end.

Following the much criticized sacking of Claudio Ranieri who helped the club to its first premier league title, the club apppointed Shakespeare as its caretaker manager, but following wins over Liverpool and Hull city- he's now been given the permanent role of manager till the season's end.

According to the report by Sun U.K; Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and son Aiyawatt held talks with the former England coach this week to discuss the plans going forward.

And his impact in guiding the team to two vital victories that have lifted them away from the relegation zone was enough to convince the Thai duo he was the man to stay in position for the remainder of the season.

Shakespeare has made no secret of his desire to have the job on a long-term basis since he succeeded Ranieri in charge at the King Power a fortnight ago.

Ranieri was axed as the Foxes plummeted down towards the drop zone having lost the support of the dressing room.

Shakespeare maintained huge support among the squad, and he has been quick to return the side to the tactics and set-up that brought so much success last season.

His players responded immediately, storming to a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the first game following Ranieri’s departure.

And they backed it up last weekend as they beat Hull city in a crucial Premier League match that saw them move five points clear of the bottom three.

But the players and Shakespeare have been criticised in some quarters for not trying for their former manager and getting him the sack.

Leicester have been looking around to see who they should bring in on a full-time basis, with Roberto Mancini and Roy Hodgson both contacted to sound out their interest.

But the main priority is to ensure the club are not relegated, and with Shakespeare getting such impressive results in his first two matches the club have decided to make an interim appointment.

If he continues to do well, Shakespeare would be in pole position to take over the job on a longer-term deal.

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo as he turned 60. In a post on his Facebook page the President wrote:

Acting President Osinbajo also spoke with State House correspondents who requested he makes a comment on his 60th birthday, after the FEC meeting yesterday. He said;

I think I am frankly not different from yesterday but I must say that
it’s the work of grace and I just feel so blessed: first, that I am
sixty and secondly that one is in good health and able to serve one’s
country.
I think it’s just grace and a great deal of blessings from the
Almighty God. So I really feel very happy, very fulfilled and frankly
very thankful to God. I am very very thankful to God.

Thank you.

"The kind of embrace that is much needed especially in these days of insistent hate & dislike. Father O'Connell, a Catholic Priest, in a tearful farewell embrace with Shaykh Ahmad Lemu, an Islamic Cleric, in Minna.

Father O'Connell has served in a Government Secondary School, Minna as a Principal for 50 years. He turned 80 earlier last week or so. He returns to Ireland on retirement.
