  Angered by claims made by controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi—that Christians in Plateau State and other parts of the Middle Belt bury empty coffins in mass graves to fabricate narratives of widespread killings and genocide—fiery Plateau clergyman Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo has challenged the scholar to provide evidence or face legal action. The Kaduna-based Islamic cleric had, in a post on his Facebook page, claimed that a doctor who lives in the Middle Belt region of the country alerted him to what he described as the false tricks employed by Christian leaders in the region to deceive the world and push the Christian genocide narrative which led to the U.S. President Donald Trump classifying Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC). “A Doctor wrote me: Do you know that some Middle Belt Christian groups are now staging fake mass killings?”  Gumi wrote in the post. “They are burying empty coffins and recording the process as if real victims were killed, just t...

  Contrary to widespread rumours, former Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Mmaduaburochukwu Obiano is alive, hale and hearty. His former Commissioner for Information, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, debunked the now viral report circulated by some new outlets. He described the reports as false and mischievous. Adinuba said he had personally spoken with Obiano and confirmed that the former governor is not only alive but “hale and hearty” and residing in the United States, not the United Kingdom as claimed by an online report. “Obiano has never lived in the United Kingdom. He lives in the United States of America. I just spoke with him now,” Adinuba stated. He urged the public to disregard the rumours, noting that such unfounded claims were capable of causing unnecessary distress to the former governor’s family, associates, and the people of Anambra State.
