By Akinwale Kasali

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has issued a public alert to Nigerians to desist from using Dove Beauty Cream Bar Soap (100g) with Batch Number 81832M 08, produced in Germany over chemical impurity.

NAFDAC said the product violates the Cosmetic Products Regulation by containing Butylphenyl Methylpropional, also known as Lilial, a chemical associated with serious health risks.

In a statement   posted on its website, the Agency explained that BMHCA has been banned in cosmetic products because it can harm the reproductive system and potentially affect the health of unborn children.

It added that the chemical has been linked to skin sensitization, triggering allergic reactions in some users.

The statement reads: “The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is alerting the public about the recall of Dove Beauty Cream Bar Soap (100g) with batch number 81832M 08, produced in Germany, due to chemical impurity.

“The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation, as it contains Butylphenyl Methylpropional (BMHCA), which is prohibited due to its risks of reproductive harm, danger to unborn children, and potential for causing skin sensitization.

“Several regulatory authorities in the EU have already banned its marketing.”

Other Dove cosmetic products recalled/banned in other countries due to the presence of BMHCA are Derma Spa Goodness, Men Care, Men Care+ Sensitive Shield, Natural Touch, Nourishing Body Care Light Hydro, Pampering Body Lotion, Go Fresh, Talco con Crema, Go fresh Pera, Extra Fresh, Goodness3 Skincare Ritual, invisible dry antiperspirant spray + Go Fresh Revitalize nourishing shower gel, Caring hand wash and invisible dry.

The agency said the soaps are not on its database.

NAFDAC urged the public to be cautious and vigilant within the supply chain to avoid the importation, distribution, sale, and use of the products.

It said, “Importation of soaps is prohibited in Nigeria as per the restricted and import prohibition list. Beyond the import restrictions soaps and cosmetics are parts of the items ineligible for foreign exchange to import in Nigeria.

“These products are also not available in the NAFDAC database. Importers, distributors, retailers, and consumers are advised to exercise caution and vigilance within the supply chain to avoid the importation, distribution, sale, and use of the above-mentioned products.

“Members of the public in possession of the product should discontinue the sale or use and submit stock to the nearest NAFDAC office.”

NAFDAC also urged health experts to report adverse events experienced with the use of regulated products to its nearest office.

The statement added, “Healthcare professionals and consumers are encouraged to report adverse events experienced with the use of regulated products to the nearest NAFDAC office, via [email protected], E-reporting platforms available at www.nafdac.gov.ng or via the Med-safety application for download on android and IOS stores

The Anambra State Police Command, on Tuesday September 10, 2024, announced that they have launched an investigation into an attack, Monday evening,  in Isionye Community in Nawfia Njikoka Local Council of the State by  gunmen.

The attack left in its  trail, three persons dead, land five others critically injured.

The Source reports that the attack comes on the heels of two previous ones on Ogbaru Local Council headquarters and Oba Police formation in Nnewi South Local Government within the last three weeks.

Some eye witness accounts said the gunmen had first disguised as prospective land buyers and subsequently lured their targets to the site of the said land deal before unleashing the attack on them.

The witnesses, also, informed that the gunmen opened fire on the people they had gathered under the pretence of buying the land, leaving no fewer than three persons dead, and five others critically injured.

“Unidentified gunmen invaded our community in Isionye Enugu Ukwu, Njikoka Local Government ,this evening killing several people .

“They arrived in a Sienna Toyota Vehicle, posing as potential land buyers. None of us sensed danger, until they brought out their weapons and began to shoot.

“Those who escorted them to the land were shot while many  residents who scampered for safety owing to  indiscriminate shootings were injured.

In a statement by its spokesperson ,Tochukwu Ikenga ,SP, the Anambra Police Command said it has recovered the operational vehicle used by the hoodlums.

“The Commissioner of Police ,CP Nnaghe Itam has ordered an investigation into the murder of three individuals and the serious injury to five others on Monday ,September 9,2024 at 2 pm in Isionye land ,near the boundary between Enugu Ukwu and Nawfia

“Preliminary reports suggest that the victims were deceived into coming to the land under the pretense of a real estate transaction before being assaulted with firearms and machetes.

“The testimony of the injured victims who are currently receiving medical treatment, is aiding the investigation, while the bodies of the deceased have been taken to the morgue .

“The Commissioner of Police has urged the Community to remain calm as police operatives work to identify the killers” the police spokesman stated.

How Air Peace Airline’s Petition Triggered Ajaero’s Arrest

Airline distances Organization, says Ajaero’s arrest carried out one year after petition was withdrawn

It has been revealed that a petition written against the President of the Nigeria Labour Party, Joe Ajaero, and the NLC by the Management of Air Peace Airlines triggered his arrest on Monday by the Department of State Services.

The Petition was written by the Airline to the Nigerian Police in September 2023 when the NLC disrupted flights to, and from, Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Imo State over a labour dispute between the NLC and Imo State Government.

The NLC had declared a strike in Imo State which grounded economic and social activities in the State. To achieve maximum effect, it also closed the Airport. That closure affected the operations of Air Peace, the most regular and consistent Airline which operates to, and from the Airport.

In reaction, the Management of the Airline wrote a Petition alleging criminal intimidation against the NLC as well as the loss of hundreds of millions of Naira due to the disruption.

Recall that the Police had about a couple of days ago in its second invitation to Ajaero in which it included the General Secretary of the NLC, charged both men with alleged criminal intimidation.

However, in its explanation of why it arrested Ajaero at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Monday, the DSS had, allegedly, claimed that it stemmed from a petition written against Ajaero by his colleagues in the NLC which its new Director General inherited, and decided to investigate.

On Tuesday, Air Peace Airline was dragged into qAjaero’s ordeal. The Airline was fingered as the company which claimed criminal intimidation against Ajaero for which he is being hounded.

But the Airline, in a strong reaction, distanced its one- year old petition to the Police against Ajaero from the NLC President’s arrest.

In a statement signed by its Spokesperson, Omotade Makinwa, the Airline wondered why the Police suddenly began an action on its Petition after the Police ignored it for  over one year, and after it had amicably sorted things out with the NLC.

The statement reads in part: Air Peace expresses concern over the recent media portrayal linking the NLC’s President’s arrest to a petition filed by the Airline in September, 2023.

“This situation does not accurately represent the current relationship between Air Peace and the NLC.

“It is important to clarify the events leading up to the petition. On May 3, 2023, the NLC disrupted Air Peace  operations as part of a broader conflict with the Imo State Government.

“Although Air Peace  had no involvement in the dispute between the NLC and the Imo State Government, our Airline was unfortunately used  as a tool to exert pressure on the Government. This unlawful disruption of our services caused significant financial losses and impacted the travel plans of many Nigerians across multiple States.

“In response to this disruption, Air Peace’s legal team submitted a formal petition against the NLC to the Nigerian Police. Despite our repeated efforts to follow up on the petition, the Police failed to take prompt action.

“Over a year later, the Nigerian Police have chosen to act on the original petition which has now led to the alleged arrest of the NLC President.

“Before this arrest, the Airline and the NLC  had already reached an amicable resolution, and Air Peace had withdrawn its petition, allowing a positive working relationship to resume between the two organisations.”

Not a few people are now of the opinion that given Air Peace’s explanation, some people somewhere are hell bent on giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

Peter Obi

The rumour mill has been churning with reports that former Anambra State Governor and presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, was allegedly arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) at his home in Anambra. However, these claims have been swiftly debunked by Mr. Obi’s media adviser, Valentine Obienyem.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Mr. Obienyem categorically dismissed the reports as entirely false and baseless. He clarified that the rumour first surfaced on Saturday, but was promptly refuted. Despite this, the false narrative appears to have continued spreading.

Mr. Obienyem further disclosed that Mr. Obi was not even in Anambra State at the time of the alleged incident. “As of Saturday, Mr. Obi was in Rwanda attending to important engagements,” he said. “He has since returned to Nigeria and is currently in Edo State, where he is actively involved in party and national matters.”

The statement also refuted the claim that Mr. Obi’s wife was arrested, describing it as a fabrication aimed at misleading the public and causing unnecessary panic among his supporters.

“There was no DSS operation at his residence, and no arrest was made,” Mr. Obienyem emphasised.

He urged the public to disregard the falsehood and remain vigilant against the spread of misinformation, assuring that any official communication regarding Mr. Obi will be released through proper channels.

As the situation develops, Mr. Obi continues to focus on his commitment to the nation, while his team remains steadfast in providing accurate updates on his activities.

PANDEF Leadership

By Emma Ogbuehi

The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) led by elder statesman, Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, on Sunday, promised to fully participate in the burial of the late President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.

Iwuanyanwu’s burial has been slated for November 1, 2024.

PANDEF made the promise when a delegation led by Ambassador Godknows Igali, former Nigerian ambassador to the Scandinavian countries – Sweden, Denmark and Norway – and  Federal Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Water Resources, paid a condolence visit to the Iwuananwu family in Abuja.

The second son of Chief Iwuanyanwu, Chinedu, and his widow, Chinonyerem, were on hand to receive the delegation.

Ambassador Igali who represented Chief E.K. Clark said Iwuanyanwu was not only Igbo leader but also an acknowledged leader in the South-South geopolitical zone.

Going down memory lane, Ambassador Igali, who harped on the rich culture and tradition that have always been shared by the peoples of the Niger Delta and Ndigbo, said: “We have come to pay our condolences to the Iwuanyanwu family, in particular to the wife and children and the people of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in general over the loss of a spectacular and great Nigerian, Chief Engineer Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.

“The loss is shared by the people of the Niger Delta, people of the South South, because he was a leader of not just the Igbo people, but our own zone of the country.

“He saw us as one and we did things in the South East because of him, particularly he shared a good relationship with our father and leader, Chief Edwin Clark.

“We want to say today that Chief Iwuanyanwu considered himself a Nigerian, who believed that this country should be strong and great on truth, justice and fairness on the principles of hard work.

“It is for this reason that we in the region will participate fully in the burial. Already we are in the committee. Already, we are mobilizing our kings, chiefs, women and men to participate in the funeral.”

The group extolled the virtues of Chief Iwuanyanwu and called on the Federal Government to immortalize his name.

“We hope that at the right time, the Federal Government will properly immortalise him because he deserves it.”

Also speaking, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, a member of the PANDEF delegation, said: “I believe that he can be honoured in many ways. A big institution should be named after him, as a pan-Nigerian. Of course, we already have some roads named after him. But I believe a big institution should be named after him.”

Receiving the PANDEF delegation on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide were a former chairman of Police Service Commission (PSC), Simeon Okeke, Senator Ben Obi, and Ambassador Okey Emuchay, Secretary General of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation.

The Ohanaeze chieftains thanked Chief EK Clark for sending such a powerful delegation that included his first son.

In his own remarks, Senator Obi agreed with the PANDEF chieftains on the need by the President Bola Tinubu administration to honour Chief Iwuanynwu.

“The government knows how to immortalise him. We do not want to say they should do this or that. The government knows that Chief Iwuanyanwu needs to be immortalised. I am sure they will do so,” he said.

On his part, Chief Okeke implored the FG to pay heed to the wish of not only Chief Iwuanyanwu but all Igbos and release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Senator Obi, who is a member of the burial committee, said the elder statesman will be buried on November 1.

The burial programme will start in Lagos State with a day of tributes on Wednesday, October 16 and move to Abuja on October 18.

There will be another day of tributes in Enugu on Saturday, October 26, and a service of songs in his country home, Umuohii Atta in Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State, on October 29.

Why Ajaero Was Arrested

Comrade Joe Ajaero - NLC President

By Adesina Soyooye

As outrage continues to trail the arrest, Monday, of the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, snippets are emerging on why he was arrested.

Ajaero was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, on his way to board a flight to the United Kingdom for an official assignment. It was later alleged that he had been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency, NIA. That report sparked speculations that, perhaps, he was arrested over the allegations of treasonable felony made against him earlier by the Police.

However, from what his Lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, said, Ajaero’s arrest on Monday  had nothing to do with his previous appointments/cases with the Police.

Snippets from the DSS tend to support Falana’s position. According to the  snippets, Ajaero was arrested by the DSS for shunning the Service’s  invitation to him.

They allege that Ajaero was invited by the DSS last week through a phone call. According to the DSS, Ajaero was invited by the DSS based on a petition written against Ajaero by his colleagues at the NLC. The DSS made the point that its new Director General inherited the petition, and decided to investigate it. The Service alleged that Ajaero was being expected at DSS, but that it was surprised to hear that Ajaero was at the Airport on his way out of the Country.

Ajaero’s arrest sparked an ultimatum by the NLC to the DSS after an emergency meeting the NLC. The Congress professed Ajaero’s innocence, and asked that Ajaero be released before 12 midnight or workers would embark on strike.

As demanded by the NLC, Ajaero was released just before the 12 midnight deadline.

His trip to the UK has, however, been completely aborted as his international passport was seized by the DSS.

At the time of this report, the DSS has not made public the contents of the petition against Ajaero, or the names of his colleagues who wrote the petition against him.

Sterling Bank Has Destroyed  Our Businesses, Customers Lament Failure To Withdraw, Receive Money For 2Wks

Abubakar Suleiman - Sterling Bank MD

The Abaubakar Suleiman-led commercial bank’s system upgrade which  started on August 30, has left many of its customers stranded, as they could neither withdraw nor send money from the various electronic platforms.

According to the details obtained from the bank’s website, there are over 3 million customers on its online platforms whose funds have now become trapped in the current melee of system failure.

Some customers who have registered their anger on the various social media platforms,  such as Facebook, Google, X among others said they have never been frustrated.

Techcabal, says the problem started following the decision of the bank to migrate to SEABaas, a new custom-built core banking application recently built for the commercial bank by a local Nigerian firm.

The lender had previously been using Temenos T24, the software used by the Central bank of Nigeria, CBN, and other commercial banks but decided to switch to the new system.

The decision to onboard SEABaas, analysts claimed is not unconnected with the bank’s effort to minimise cost, thereby resulting in a situation where hapless customers are now being made to pay a steep price.

“I can’t even begin to talk about the damage sterling bank has caused my business this week alone and it’s even crazier that I just migrated to the bank after having enough of Unity bank’s madness. Unity bank with all their excesses, never went this far,”Okeoghene@yo_twist wrote on the bank X handle.

“Your network is down in a very costly way,”Tolulope ajayi @teemman14 said.

“You are not serving anyone,” Huey T.H.C @elprodigy22 said in his response to the system failure, adding that Sterling Bank has “fucked up a lot of business transaction since Monday.”

Opeyemi Akinrimisi Amosu said “Just upgrade my account that was affected by your so called upgrade and let me mover my money, I am done with your bank!”

The angry customers said the bank did not provide specifics while sending out notification of the possible operation disruptions due to the system migration.

“A core banking application is a critical tool for all financial institutions, so an upgrade of this nature is a big deal,” said a software expert at a Nigerian bank who asked not to be named.

SEABaaS, a product by Bazara Tech Inc., a Nigerian software company, sources said, was built to Sterling Bank’s specification, and is meant to provide a seamless banking experience for its teeming customers.

“SEABaaS is a future-proof, platform-agnostic core banking SaaS solution designed to elevate user experience for enterprise customers. Its architecture features microservices, APIs, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud. It also spans a unified 360-degree customer view, AI and machine Learning capabilities, and intuitive user interfaces,” the tech firm said on its website.

Bola Tinubu and Joe Ajaero

Global rights body Amnesty International has condemned the Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for trying to stifle the opposition in the country.

The righst group made the allegation on Monday in reaction to the arrest of Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC by security services.

The magazine reported that the NLC President was arrest yesterday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, by the DSS on his was to attend a Labour programme in the United Kingdom, UK.

Ajaero has since been handed over to the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, The Source Magazine also reported, amidst global criticism of the government’s action.

Reacting to the arrest AI in a statement signed by its country Director, Isa Sanusi, said the administration is setting a bad precedence, nothing that the Tinubu’s administration has a sad trajectory of intimidating dissenting voices in the country.

The rights body demands the immediate and unconditional release of the Labour leader, saying the crack down on those opposing the government has increased since this government came on board last year.

Warning  that the administration is treading a dangrous path, AI said it “has observed, in the last one year, the increasing crackdown by the Nigerian authorities on the labour union and civic space.”

AI said, “Amnesty International strongly condemns the unlawful arrest of the President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Joe Ajaero by the Department of State Services (DSS) today. The labour union leader must be immediately and unconditionally released.

“The arbitrary arrest of Joe Ajaero shows an escalating crackdown on human rights and restrictions on civic space by the government of President Bola Tinubu.

“President Bola Tinubu’s government persistently attacks and undermines the operations of the NLC, through fabricated allegations, raids on NLC headquarters and other forms of harassment and intimidation. This growing culture of impunity and disdain for workers’ rights to organize and seek better welfare must stop.

“President Tinubu is setting a new record of utter disregard for the rule of law.

“Amnesty International has observed, in the last one year, the increasing crackdown by the Nigerian authorities on the labour union and civic space. The authorities continue to weaponize the police and SSS to repress the human rights of Nigerians.

“Nigeria is a party to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantee the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and association, including trade union membership and activities. The country is also a member of the International Labour Organization, whose fundamental principles include the right to organize, are binding on all members.”

“Under international human rights law workers cannot be targeted for participating in trade union activities. The Nigerian authorities have an obligation not only to respect the rights of workers but also to protect these rights from abuse.

“Joe Ajaero is arrested solely for the peaceful exercise of his human rights and must be immediately and unconditionally released,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, the NLC is bracing up for a showdown with the government following its directive to its members to embark on an indefinite strike if Ajaero is not immediately released.

Lagos 2027: How Sanwo-Olu’s Successor Will Emerge, Three Top Contenders Attract President’s Interest

By Akinjide Aina, Abuja Bureau Chief

The godfather of Lagos politics and former Governor of the State, now President of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has, since leaving office as Governor in 2007, effortlessly decided who rules the State.

However, 2027 may be a bit tricky for the President as far as making a choice of who succeeds the incumbent, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is concerned.

This magazine can authoritatively reveal that though the next governorship election in Lagos is three years away, a titanic battle albeit clandestinely to succeed Governor Sanwolu has begun in earnest and at the centre of it are three men dear to the heart of the President Tinubu- his son, Seyi Tinubu,  his Chief of Staff and immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon.Femi Gbajabiamila and the Speaker of  Lagos state House of Assembly, Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu = President
President Tinubu: Who will he anoint to succeed Sanwo-Olu?

A source who is conversant with the unfolding intense battle for Alausa seat of Lagos state government but pleaded for his name to be withheld “because it will not be politically right to openly comment on the issue at the moment as none of us knows where the pendulum will eventually swing” told the magazine that deep down his heart, the President is appreciative of the unflinching, unwavering loyalty of Gbajabiamila and Obasa all these years- from the AD years to AC, then ACN and now APC-  and would love to reward them with the governorship of Lagos state.

His words: “However, Mr President also wants to make history in Nigeria as the first politician who was governor and whose son also later become governor too, something akin to the Bush scenario in the United States where the Senior Bush, George H W Bush was Vice President and President respectively, and later his son, George W Bush became the Governor of Texas and President of America respectively.

Further giving insight into what may likely play out at the end, the source said: “Had it been that there is a provision for “co-governorship” in the constitution, the trio of Gbajabiamila, Obasa and Seyi would have definitely emerged one in 2027.

“But I believe there will eventually be something politically hefty for the trio in 2027”

The magazine was informed that in the worst case scenario, Gbajabiamila or Obasa may pair with Seyi ( Seyi as running mate) or a neutral candidate will be chosen and Seyi made his Deputy while Obasa and Femi are compensated with Senatorial seats.

“No, You Cannot Be Nigerian President, You Are Too Self-Centred, Authoritarian – NNPP Chieftain Tells Kwankwaso

By Suleiman Anyalewechi

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in the 2023 General Elections, has been told by his party that he does not possess the prerequisite qualifications to be the Country’s President.

In Katsina last Saturday, September 7, for the inauguration of the renovated NNPP office, the former Kano State Governor had asserted that he will not only  contest  the 2027 Presidential election, but remains the candidate to beat.

Similarly, he had lampooned the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as a dead party ,which he and his supporters deserted long ago.

The PDP has since dismissed him as a self-centered and insensitive political actor without much value.

In a statement on Sunday, September 8, Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson said the PDP would not want to join issues with Kwankwaso, because frontally he has proven not to be a leader.

” He ( Kwankwaso ) is very inconsequential in the Nigerian national politics today judging from the fact that he is struggling to lead a party called NNPP which is struggling to control only one State.

“It is unfathomable to  imagine that a failed and inconsequential politician with only one state would claim that a party that has 13 Governors ,many Senators, many House of Representatives members, several States Assembly ,and strong presence in all the Local Government Areas and Wards across the country dead” PDP stated .

A Chieftain of the NNPP in the South West, Adebisi Adeyemi Olopoeyan, in a statement on Monday September 9, further noted that Senator. Kwankwaso is too greedy and selfish to lead the country.

According to him, Kwankwaso’s authoritarian disposition, and self-centredness will rather make him a huge electoral liability for any party that parades him as its presidential hopeful.

The NNPP stalwart accused the former Kano State Governor of destabilizing the party through the instrumentalities of his Kwankwasiyya political movement.

Olopoeyan, therefore, wondered if it is the same NNPP which he, Kwankwaso, has fractured in many States, and at the National level, that he is still nursing the ambition to use as a platform for his 2027 dream of becoming Nigeria’s President.

The NNPP top shot insisted that Senator Kwankwaso is grossly lacking in character and leadership qualities germane to preside over the affairs of a country with different tribes, culture, religion, and language .

“A self-centered and domineering politician cannot be Nigerian President. Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso needs to understand this.

“You can wish to rule a country of over 218 million people, but not be ready to accommodate  people and give all sense of belonging to whoever comes your way.

“Senator Kwankwaso is still aiming to use NNPP to drive his Presidential ambition in 2027, yet he is disorganizing the party. He has forgotten that his Kwankwasiyya group is only rooted in Kano, but not in existence in other states especially in the South.

“Moreover, the fact that he was the only Presidential candidate in NNPP for the 2023 else election doesn’t guarantee that the party will not have other aspirants in 2027. The ticket needs to be open and competitive in 2027.

” Senator Kwankwaso needs to stop doing everything by himself.  He needs to learn from Tinubu, Atiku Obasanjo, Jonathan, and others.

These are real political leaders. They build and empower their followers, also trust them  with power ,. But Kwankwaso has assumed that his Kano group, Kwankwasiyya is bigger than NNPP”,  Olopoeyan stated .
