BURATAI: Sahara Reporters Stop this campaign of calumny, Defend Yourself in court

 

 

 

 

It is indeed saddening when the purveyor of truth has become a willing tool for falsehood and fabrication of lies to deceive the general public. This is not unconnected to the ugly trend that Sahara Reporters has become a vehicle for deception by faceless individuals whose aim is to tarnish the image of credible individuals and organizations.

BURATAI: Sahara Reporters Stop this campaign of calumny, Defend Yourself in court

Sadly, a report that has been in public domain since June/July 2022 about the failed attempt by Sahara Reporters to lie against the former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai (retd.) over the ICPC raid of a building in Abuja was repackaged by the medium today. 

 

Interestingly, the report in July 2022 was punctured by even ICPC and the glaring truth exonerated Buratai that he was never a part of the whole saga. 

 

Consequently, the former Chief of Army staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai (Rtd) in July, 2022  gave Sahara Reporters a seven day ultimatum to retract and apologized publicly over the injurious, defamatory and fabricated lies against him.

 

Buratai gave the ultimatum in a letter to the newspaper and signed by his counsel led by Dr. Reuben Atabo, SAN.

 

In the letter, Buratai also demanded a public apology from the media outfit over the fabricated story.

 

He decried that very serious allegations that were levelled against him in the report, which he said was capable of brewing hatred and attack by the public against him, has caused him great embarrassment.

 

The notice, read: “We refer to your publication dated 23rd day of June 2022 with the caption: ‘EXCLUSIVE: Anti-graft Agency, ICPC Uncovers Billions In Cash Meant For Arms, Ammunition To Fight Boko Haram In Abuja Home Of Ex-Chief Of Army Staff, Buratal.’

 

“In the said publication, you alleged that the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) had recovered N1.85 billion from a house and office said to belong to our client.

 

“It was further reported by you that ‘the huge cash was part of the billions of naira earmarked for the purchase of arms and ammunition by the Muhammadu Buhari-led government.’

 

“This is a very serious allegation capable of brewing hatred and attack by the public against our client as a former Chief of Army Staff.

 

“There is no doubt that Nigerians are seriously concerned about the security situation of the country and the said publication has portrayed our client as a person responsible for diversion of funds meant for the fight against Boko Haram.

 

“Consequently, our client has been exposed to hate, ridicule and embarrassment from members of the public with his friends calling him from different parts of the world to ask for explanations.

 

“The publication is not only false but malicious and an attempt to malign the reputation of our client.

 

“Our client, who is the current Ambassador to Benin Republic, rose through the ranks and became a Lieutenant General in the Nigerian Army before his retirement in the year 2021.

 

“Our client, who was also a former Chief of Army Staff from July 2015 to 2021 has taken the battle against insurgency to the field with enormous energy and resources as well as loss of field officers.

 

“By your publication, our client has been ridiculed as a man without honour, dignity and incapable of representing Nigeria and portrayed as a fraudster/ dishonest person before Nigerians and the international community.

 

“We hereby demand that you retract your publication with a public apology to our client within seven days of receiving this letter and a public apology to be published in two national dailies in Nigeria.

 

“Take notice that if you fail, neglect and/ or refuse to publish the apology within seven from today, we shall not hesitate to commence legal action against your organization for defamation.

 

“It is hoped that you would comply to avoid the unpleasantness of litigation and its attendant consequences.”

 

Therefore, it’s funny that rather than answering the charges of 2022  against him in court, Sahara Reporters and his faceless sponsors made another failed attempt today to repackage  an old lie and fabrication.

 

Seriously, if Sahara Reporters and his evil sponsors have nothing to hide they should clear their names in court and stop playing to the gallery. It’s an old trick that is no longer working. Leave Buratai alone and defend yourself in court.

‘I Cry Because of the Burdens People Carry’ – Pastor Jerry Eze Opens Up on Emotional Prayer Sessions

Renowned Nigerian televangelist and founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has revealed the deep emotional weight behind his tearful prayer sessions, sparking conversations among his followers.

Speaking during an interview to mark the fifth anniversary of his popular online prayer platform, NSPPD (New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations), Pastor Eze explained that his tears are not mere theatrics but a reflection of his overwhelming compassion for the countless people who seek divine intervention.

“The Bible says we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities,” he stated. “I have always known myself to be a very compassionate person, and coming into ministry, I realized that compassion is an inevitable tool for the miraculous.”

According to him, his inbox is flooded daily with heartbreaking messages from people facing unimaginable hardships, making it impossible for him to remain indifferent. He recounted a particularly devastating story: “How do you make this kind of prayer? You see a woman who lost her husband, tried to remarry, lost the second one, and after everything, tried to marry a third time only to lose him too. How do you not feel that?”

Pastor Jerry Eze’s tearful prayers have become a signature aspect of his ministry, drawing millions to his online services. His explanation has further solidified his reputation as a pastor deeply moved by the struggles of his congregation, with many testifying to miraculous turnarounds after his intercessions.

While some critics have questioned his emotional displays, his followers see them as a sign of genuine empathy and spiritual burden. As NSPPD continues to grow globally, Pastor Eze remains committed to his calling, declaring, “What God cannot do does not exist!”

Governor Monday Okpebholo aide condemn killing in Uromi…..

No amount of pressure, frustration, or disagreement should ever justify the taking of another person’s life. Life is sacred, and the act of unlawfully ending someone else’s existence goes against the fundamental principles of justice, morality, and human dignity.

With that being said, the tragic incident that occurred yesterday in Uromi, the administrative headquarters of Esan North East where about eight person of the Hausa community where allegedly identified to be kidnappers beaten and burnt alive, is deeply condemnable. It is disheartening to witness such acts of violence within the uromi community, where peace and unity should be the guiding principles. The behavior exhibited during this unfortunate event was not only unnecessary but also unacceptable, as it disregarded the values of justice and respect for human life.

In times like this, we must remind ourselves that violence only leads to pain, loss, and division. As a people, we must strive for peaceful resolutions to any issues that may arise from our community and uphold the virtues of patience, understanding, and dialogue. No grievance, no matter how severe, should push anyone to commit such a grievous act.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of the departed. May their soul rest in eternal peace. Amen.

May God heal the land, restore peace, and guide us towards a society built on love, justice, and mutual respect.

Daniel Eromosele Aka Pikolo,
Chief Protocol,
Edo State Government.

Speed Darlington Sparks Outrage After Pricing Coffin for Portable

Controversial Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has ignited a firestorm of reactions after a video of him pricing a coffin for fellow artist Portable surfaced online.

The drama between the two musicians escalated after Speed Darlington invited Portable to perform at his upcoming show, only to be met with rejection and insults. Portable, known for his outspoken nature, accused Speed Darlington of using his name for clout, insisting that his appearance fee was N20 million—an amount he claimed Speed Darlington couldn’t afford.

Following Portable’s refusal, Speed Darlington took to social media to express his frustration, stating that he regretted ever extending the invitation. He also revisited an old incident where Portable allegedly suffered a beating from an associate, vowing to release the footage as a form of public humiliation.

However, the feud took a darker turn when Speed Darlington shared a shocking video of himself negotiating the price of a coffin for Portable. In the clip, he was seen bargaining with an undertaker while directing his message at the Zazoo crooner. The video was captioned:

“@portablebaeby are you ready to die for not coming to my show April 13th?”

The post has since triggered widespread backlash, with many calling out Speed Darlington for taking their online banter too far. Some fans have dismissed the stunt as mere entertainment, while others have condemned it as insensitive and a potential threat.

As the feud continues to unfold, all eyes are on Portable’s response, with many wondering whether he will retaliate or simply ignore the provocation. Meanwhile, fans of both artists have taken to social media to share their opinions, with some urging them to settle their differences amicably.
