#RME: Police withdraws security men attached to Speaker, Tambuwal

The Nigerian Police Force have withdrawn the security detail of the Speaker of the House of Reps, Aminu Tambuwal, who recently defected from the PDP to APC. In a statement released few minutes ago on their official website, the Police said they withdrew Tambuwal's security because his recent defection flouts the 1999 constitution.

#RME: Young ladies please read this. Girl goes missing after leaving club with man

Found this report on The Nation, and wanted to share it because a lot of young girls can learn from this. It's a story about a 300level English Language student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Annabel Nzubechukwu Edeh, who has not been seen since she left a night club with an unknown man many weeks ago in Awka, Anambra state.

Annabel had gone to the night club with friends on September 17th and as the group of girls prepared to leave, Annabel told her friends she was in need of money so would go home with a guy she'd met at the club and would return to school the following morning. It's been 6 weeks and Annabel hasn't been seen.

Read the full story as told my Oluchukwu Igwe, a 500l Chemical Engineering student of same school, after the cut...

They were six girls, who went to Lounge 24 Gaga, a nightclub in Awka, the Anambra State capital, on September 17. They are Calista, Uju, Lovelyn, Ada, Chika and Annabel. All of them are friends and live close to one another. When they returned to their hostels the following morning, one of them – Annabel – could not be found.

Where is Annabel? This was the question classmates of Annabel Nzubechukwu Edeh could not answer. The 300-Level English Language and Literature student of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) in Awka has not been seen anywhere, 43 days after she went to the night club with her friends.

Was she kidnapped? Is she dead? These are some of the questions being asked by her distraught family members and friends. She is the only girl in a family of three.

Annabel, 24, a native of Enugu State, was last seen on Wednesday, September 17 evening, when she left her Paradise City Hostel in Iyiagu Estate, Awka.

When she was leaving the club, Annabel reportedly left at midnight with a guy she met at the club. That was the last time she was seen.

Annabel's friend and hostel mate, who simply gave her name as Ifeoma, said after clubbing, the girls decided to find a place to sleep before returning to their hostels. But Annabel, she said, told her friends she wanted to go with Mmiri, a male acquaintance, she met at the club. She was said to have told her friends that she was in need of money, which could have informed her decision to go away with the guy.

When she did not return in the morning, it was learnt that Ada and Chika called Annabel's phone but were disappointed to hear a male voice claiming to have found the phone on the ground and asked the 'owner' to come for it.

Ada and Chika, it was gathered, retrieved the phone and contacted Annabel's elder brother, Ifeanyi, who reported the matter at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Awka.

CAMPUSLIFE learnt that Ada and Chika were detained for alleged complicity but were later released on bail.

When contacted on the phone, it was learnt that Mmiri claimed Annabel left his house at 3:30am when she refused to enter his room.

But, after the conversation, Mmiri reportedly switched off his phone and stopped going to a popular bar, where he drinks with his friends. He is nowhere to be found.

Our correspondent's efforts to speak with Annabel's friends she went to the nightclub with were futile. All of them declined to comment on the issue.

Annabel's roommate, Ukamaka, gave an account of what happened when she spoke to CAMPUSLIFE on telephone.

She said: "Annabel told me she was going to the club that evening. Her friends, Ada and Chika, waited in the compound till they were joined by their other friends. I had a premonition of the incident in a dream I had the previous night. I told her not to go to the club but she refused. When the other three girls arrived, they all left together. When she did not return in the morning, I called her line but nobody picked. Later, a man claimed he found it."

Asked to describe the kind of person Annabel is, Ukamaka said that her roommate is a good Christian and hardworking, saying Annabel is a good tailor. "I believe Annabel is a victim of circumstance," Ukamaka said.

Ifeanyi said his family remained devastated by the incident. "We are devastated at the moment. When I received the news, I travelled from Onitsha to Awka to report the matter at the police station. The matter is still being attended to at SCID and "B" Division. We have even gone spiritual to seek God's help to find my missing sister. Our Dad is late but mum is highly disorganised."

Ifeanyi said the matter had been reported to the UNIZIK management.

When CAMPUSLIFE visited Annabel's mother in Onitsha, she fought back tears as neighbours consoled her. She said: "I warned my daughter to stay clear of bad friends, but she would not listen. When she was admitted in a hospital a few months ago, my spirit never accepted the kind of girls who visited her. Now, they have done their worst. I can't see my daughter, now. Where is my only daughter? Annabel was seven months in my womb when my husband died."

Mrs Edeh said she had consulted a prophet, who confirmed to her that her daughter is alive but held captive somewhere. She claimed that the prophet informed her that it was Annabel's friends that facilitated her 'abduction' and threatened to sue them if her daughter did not return within days.
She added: "All I am asking is the safe return of my daughter. I have no other girl. If she was kidnapped, those holding her would have called us. I am confused. We are only praying to God and hoping that she returns home safe and alive. I am pleading with anyone, who knows her whereabouts, to give useful information that can help us to locate her."

#RME: Photos: Ikeja City Mall hosts 2face Idibia in autograph session

For the first time at the Ikeja City Mall, fondly​ called the ICM, an autograph session was held with none other than the living musical legend himself, 2Face Idibia, headlining the event. He was accompanied by his entourage including his protégé, Dammy Krane and a host of other recording artistes from his label Hypertek Digital.

He is currently embarking on a nationwide tour promoting his erstwhile LP, 'The Ascension', and the two forthcoming releases 'Face2Face 10.0' and 'Rewindselectuptodate'. 
 

ICM was the preferred location to kickoff this tour for obvious reasons; strategically located in the heart of Ikejawith over 80 desirable shops to explore and huge foot traffic to match. Since opening in 2011, ICM has helped transform shopping in Lagos – making it one of the most popular destinations for the complete shopping experience.

Before 2Face took up the stage to start the autograph session, he was accompanied by Eniola Ositelu, the Marketing Manager of ICM alongside his entourage, for an introduction with store managers, had a pep chat with staff of stores that sold his Ascension CDs. They include Mr. Price, Bheerhugz Café, Bruno's Place, Silverbird Cinemas and Ruff n Tumble. He also took time out to grab a dessert at Melting Moments. He also took pictures with shoppers, store staff and store managers. After the autograph session, 2Face and his entourage hung out at Bheerhugz Café where he was catered to until he waved goodbye to all his fans.

The Autograph Lucky Dip

The aforementioned stores sold Ascension CDs and freebies for every purchase made. They include 2Face DVDs, CDs, dog tags. Shoppers that made purchases above N5,000 including the Ascension CDs, qualified for the lucky dip to win 15 Infinix Zero smart phones, Hennessy bag packs, Digifon speakers etc. Shoppers that bought only the CDs got it signed by 2Face and took selfies with him.

Temidayo took advantage of this opportunity to shop in ICM and got rewarded by meeting with 2Face. 

"I have bought items worth N20,000 at Mr.Price with his CD and I can't wait to meet my idol," he said. His wish was granted. His CD was signed by the 'African Queen' crooner and was even given the opportunity to sing one of 2Face's songs as the iconic artiste watched on. He was also a winner of one of the Infinix Zero smart phones and other prizes as he was selected during the lucky dip too!

Vote Not Fight Campaign

As a peace ambassador, 2Face, knowing that ICM attracts members of the youths in their thousands, used the mall as a medium to promote the "Vote Not Fight" campaign. ICM management were glad to help in promoting a good cause. The rationale behind the campaign was to encourage the youth to shun violent acts during elections but abide by the principles of a free and fair election. Other celebrities came to ICM to lend 2Face a hand in sending a strong message to the public. They include Weird MC, Kwam 1, Kenny Ogungbe, Kenny Saint Best, ID Ogungbe and a host of other artistes and radio OAPs.

You can also be a lucky winner like Temidayo. Ensure you participate in ICM promotions and you might be the next Temidayo. Over 40 shoppers have been rewarded with cash prizes, gift items and prizes this year alone and there's more to come.

ICM remains your choice destination for leisure, entertainment and shopping. Bring family and friends along.
