Kidnapped Wazobia FM's Presenter Akas Released, recounts his ordeal in kidnappers den

Image
For seven days, Port Harcourt-based radio presenter Anthony Akatakpo, popularly known as Diplomatic Akas Baba, was the unwilling 'guest' of a band of kidnappers that stormed his home about two weeks ago. Not only did Akatakpo's abductors shoot him in the leg before taking him away, they threatened to kill him if his wife failed to pay them a ransom of N10m. But thankfully, Akas Baba was eventually released by his abductors although they did not get the money as demanded. Recounting his ordeal in the kidnappers den, Akas in a chat with Punch, said his abductors kept him blindfolded in an uncompleted building located inside a forest and fed him only fufu, bread and water. " My ordeal in the kidnappers' den is not what I wish anybody to experience. It was not a good experience. They have a doctor. The first day they took me there, they gave me first aid. I was relieved to discover that no bullet lodged in my leg. They did something to reduce the pain I felt and to av...

"More than 90 percent of Nigerians are opposed to same sex marriage. So, the law is in line with our cultural and religious beliefs as a people," he added.

Amnesty International urged Jonathan to reject the bill, calling it "discriminatory" and warning of ...

Tension in the Senate as 11 PDP senators decamped to APC

Image
After failing to come up with a reasonable excuse why he happily allow Senators to decamp from their party to PDP in the past, Senate President David Mark cited a court order and declined to accept the defecting 11 PDP Senators' letter who have indicated their intention to join the APC. At a closed door session of the Senate on Wednesday, Mark reportedly said he would not accept the letter until the injunction restraining him and House of Reps Speaker Aminu Tambuwal is vacated. But Tambuwal has been reading letters of Senators who who are moving from APC to PDP and from PDP to APC, so what exactly is holding Mark if not the fear the fear of the unknown? Anyway, leader of the defecting Senators, Bukola Saraki, was said to have sought to invoke Order 14, which deals with Privileges, to read the letter, if Mark's "lands are tied". His request was refused. It was gathered that Mark opened up for the first time, at the Executive Session, on the controversy trailing the sen...
