DOWEN:  Late Buruji Kashamu’s Family Speaks  On Son's Involvement In Sylvester Oromoni's Death

In a statement issued on the family’s behalf by Mutairu Kashamu, the family called for calm and supported the ongoing investigation into the matter.

In the statement, the late senator’s family explained that, “Our son, Michael Kashamu, had acted as a school father for the late Sylvester in his first session in the school.”
The family, however, clarified that Michael had ceased to be the

Dowen College Student’s Death: Kashamu’s Family Empathizes With The Bereaved…Calls For Thorough Investigation.

-By Mutairu Kashamu

The Kashamu family has been inundated with enquiries, calls and messages over the unfortunate incident at Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, which led to the untimely death of Sylvester Oromoni, a 12-year-old student of the College.

While we empathize and commiserate with the family of the late Sylvester Oromoni over the irreplaceable loss, we wish to appeal to all and sundry to hold their horses until the Police and the Lagos State government have completed their independent investigations and established the truth.

Most commentators have rushed to conclusions based on assumptions and false information, including the allegation that our son Adewale Michael Kashamu was in any way involved in the bullying or beating of Sylvester Oromoni.

Since the news of the unfortunate incident broke, we have made our own private enquiries and carefully questioned our son about his involvement. This is why we did not rush out to respond to the cyber-stalking, name-calling and negative commentaries that have taken over the social media about our son’s alleged involvement in this sad incident.

Some of the true facts now slowly emerging from under the mass of lies are that: Our son, Adewale Michael Kashamu, had acted as a school father for the late Sylvester in his first session in the school at the request of Sylvester’s sister who is also a student of the school.

However, in the 2021 session commencing in September 2021 Adewale Michael Kashamu was moved to a different floor in the boarding house and engrossed in his own studies and activities, he was no longer as close to Sylvester as in the previous session.

Adewale Michael Kashamu is a compassionate and considerate boy. Sometime last session, some boys had been accused of beating Sylvester with belts and seizing his foodstuff but Adewale Michael Kashamu was not involved at all. He was in fact in sympathy with Sylvester over that incident.

On that occasion, Sylvester’s parents made a report to the school and the affected students were questioned and one of them at least was suspended.

Adewale Michael Kashamu is not aware that an identical incident occurred again this year leading to Sylvester’s injury and death.

Adewale Michael Kashamu had seen Sylvester limping sometime late in November and (assuming he might have been injured playing football) merely empathized with him and advised him to go to the school clinic.

Other students who knew the circumstances of Sylvester’s leg injury have all testified that he was injured whilst playing football.

Whilst he was in school, Sylvester had no visible injury to his lips or face. Sylvester’s family has admitted that Sylvester’s swollen, blistered and bloody lips (as shown in videos and pictures, now viral on the internet) were reactions to medications given to Sylvester after he had been taken from the school by his parents.

We feel and can relate to the pains of the Oromoni family and all those genuinely concerned about this unfortunate incident. That is why we wish to express our readiness to cooperate with the parents of the deceased, the Police, the Lagos State government and other relevant stakeholders to get to the root of this matter so that the cause of justice will not only be served but manifestly seen to have been served.

However, it is regrettable that of the five names that were mentioned in relation to the incident, it is only Kashamu’s name that seems to ring a bell. Consequently, the family and its late patriarch (Senator Buruji Kashamu of blessed memory) have been the butt of irresponsible, falsehood-based and unwarranted attacks even when the full details of the incident are not yet known.

There is no denying the fact that Adewale Michael Kashamu is one of the children of the late Senator Buruji Kashamu. But, no family or parent will send a child to school to be involved in any form of crime or criminality; just like no parent would be happy to be informed that a child he or she sent to school to learn has been molested or killed under any guise.

That is why we wish to appeal for restraint on all sides. The cyber-bullying of our family will not help in any way to solve the bullying in schools that society through the ages has desired to stop.

The larger society should start by setting a higher standard.

We reckon that the bereaved family has related the account of the incident as narrated by the deceased.

On our part, we have continued to engage our son, Adewale Michael Kashamu, and he has continued to maintain his innocence.

Now that the Lagos State government and the Police have waded into the matter, we shall fully cooperate with them so that the truth will be established and the cause of justice served – justice for the deceased and his family, justice for the accused students and their families and justice for the society.

At this juncture, we want to encourage the management, parents and pupils of Dowen College (and indeed anyone) who may have useful information about this incident to please volunteer, same to the Police and the Lagos State government – in the interest of justice.

SIGNED:
Mutairu Kashamu,
For and on behalf of the family of late Senator Buruji Kashamu who represented Ogun East in the 8th National Assembly

The Orchestration Against Aisha Achimugu: A Classical Betrayal of Justice, Womanhood, and Nationhood..

The Orchestration Against Aisha Achimugu: A Classical Betrayal of Justice, Womanhood, and Nationhood..

The Orchestration Against Aisha Achimugu: A Classical Betrayal of Justice, Womanhood, and Nationhood..

 

Nigeria is at a critical crossroads, one that challenges not just the nation’s political integrity but its very identity. This crisis is not marked by war or famine, but by a deep and troubling internal issue that questions the fairness of the judicial system and the moral foundation of the country. At the heart of this is the unjust persecution of Aisha Achimugu, a distinguished businesswoman, philanthropist, and symbol of Nigerian excellence.

 

The Orchestration Against Aisha Achimugu: A Classical Betrayal of Justice, Womanhood, and Nationhood..
Aisha Achimugu is far more than a businesswoman, she is a beacon of resilience and brilliance, an embodiment of Nigerian potential. Through her company, Felak Concept Group, Aisha has made significant contributions in engineering, consultancy, and maritime innovation. Her work has led to job creation, policy reform, and environmental sustainability, all within industries that are traditionally dominated by men.

 

Aisha’s achievements stand as a testament to her determination to break barriers and her unwavering commitment to national progress.
Yet, despite her immense contributions to Nigeria’s development, Aisha has faced an appalling injustice. Instead of being celebrated, she has been met with public slander, a red poster of accusations, and the denial of a fair trial. Even when she was summoned, Aisha was abroad and was deprived of the dignity of due process.

 

 

Where is the fairness in this? Where is the compassion for a single mother, a widow, and a woman whose achievements have enriched the nation? The answer is clear: it is absent.
Aisha Achimugu is not just a business mogul, she is a cherished figure beloved across the country for her character, diplomacy, and generosity. She has bridged political, ethnic, and religious divides, always putting Nigeria’s best interests first. She was awarded two oil block by the Nigerian government not as a favor, but as recognition of her competence and ability. This honor was bestowed not out of nepotism, but because of trust in her capabilities.

 

If Aisha were truly guilty of any wrongdoing, how did the same government that honored her with two oil block suddenly turn against her? The question is, if she were truly guilty, why are others equally implicated in Nigeria’s systemic corruption not facing the same public scrutiny?

 

Aisha is not a woman who seeks attention. She has earned her place at the table through hard work and a proven track record. Her impact on national development, her mentorship, and her philanthropy have created a profound legacy. Her reputation is built on her accomplishments not rumors or politically motivated attacks. Yet, her brilliance seems to have become a threat to those driven by personal insecurity and political motives.

 

Mr. President, this is not a victory in the fight against corruption, it is a manipulation of the system driven by envy, personal vendettas, and political maneuvering. If the justice system were truly functioning, why does only one woman’s image appear on a red poster while countless others implicated in corruption continue unchecked? The answer lies in the political machinations at play.

 

You were elected to restore hope and deliver justice for all Nigerians—not to preside over selective justice. When justice becomes partial, hope dies. And when hope dies, the very soul of the nation is at risk.

 

This fight is not just for Aisha, it is for the future of the nation. To the youth, women, civil society, the diaspora, and all those who long for a better Nigeria this fight is yours too. If they can silence someone as influential and accomplished as Aisha, they can silence any of us. If they can slander her with no trial, what will happen to the rest of us who lack the power or connections to fight back?

 

This is a battle for the soul of Nigeria. It is a fight to ensure that no Nigerian regardless of their gender, status, or background ever faces injustice. We cannot remain passive while one of the country’s finest is destroyed by political manipulation.

 

We must demand that Aisha’s case be heard in a court of law, not through media headlines or WhatsApp groups. The truth must be brought to light through a transparent and fair process, not through politically motivated attacks. If the justice system truly works, let it be demonstrated in action, not in orchestrated public campaigns.

 

A nation that allows one of its daughters to be humiliated without due process undermines its own future. This issue is not merely about gender, it is about the character of the nation itself. Aisha Achimugu has not shied away from accountability; she is ready to face any legitimate inquiry, but only in a system that is just and fair. What she will not accept—and what we must not allow is for her to be victimized by individuals who fear the strength of an independent woman.

Enough is enough. The time for action is now.

We are watching.
Justice for Aisha is Justice for Nigeria.

Correctional Centre Breaks Silence on Detained Staff Linked to Patience Jonathan

Correctional Centre Breaks Silence on Detained Staff Linked to Patience Jonathan

Nigerian Correctional Service Denies Allegations of Illegal Detention of Patience Jonathan’s Ex-Staff in Bayelsa

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Bayelsa State Command, has firmly denied reports alleging that 15 former domestic staff of Nigeria’s former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, are being held illegally at the Okaka Medium Security Custodial Centre.

In a strongly worded statement issued on Sunday, the facility’s spokesperson, Isari Gbosi Tombara, described the viral reports as false, misleading, and a deliberate attempt to “tarnish the good image” of the correctional system.

“The rumour purporting that the former First Lady has detained these individuals since 2019 for theft, and that she held a closed-door meeting with top correctional officials, is entirely unfounded,” Tombara stated.

Context of the Case: Gold Theft Allegations and 18-Count Charge

The individuals in question have been in custody since 2019 in connection with the alleged theft of gold jewellery, electronics, and home appliances reportedly valued at ₦200 million. They face an 18-count charge including conspiracy to commit murder, burglary, and other felonies.

According to court records cited in the NCoS statement, the accused were legally remanded by High Court 1 of Bayelsa State and have been appearing for trial regularly.

“They were in court on March 10 and 11, and again on April 3, 2025, when the matter was adjourned to April 17,” the correctional service noted, emphasizing that the inmates’ fundamental human rights have not been violated.

No Meeting With Patience Jonathan, Officials Insist

The command also dismissed claims of a secret meeting between Patience Jonathan and custodial officers, calling the reports “a concoction” aimed at stirring public sentiment and sowing distrust.

“For the avoidance of doubt, no such meeting ever occurred. These inmates were remanded legally and are being held in accordance with the law,” Tombara emphasized.

He added that no individual can be held without a valid court-issued remand warrant, reinforcing that Okaka remains one of the most peaceful correctional facilities in the country.

Maintaining Standards Amid Public Scrutiny

The NCoS reiterated its commitment to the safe, humane custody and rehabilitation of inmates, in line with national correctional protocols and under the directive of Acting Controller-General of Corrections, Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche.

“We urge the public to disregard such sensationalist reports, which are not only inaccurate but aimed at destabilizing a system that is already functioning within the rule of law,” the statement concluded.

Background

Rumors began circulating earlier this month suggesting that the 15 individuals were being detained indefinitely on the orders of the former First Lady, who allegedly accused them of theft during her time in office. The claims quickly went viral, prompting public outcry and scrutiny over the role of influential figures in the justice system.

As the case continues, all eyes will remain on the Bayelsa judiciary and correctional system for further developments.

Burna Boy’s ‘Lamborghini’ Diss Track Ignites Firestorm Online

Burna Boy’s ‘Lamborghini’ Diss Track Ignites Firestorm Online After Viral Preview

LAGOS, NIGERIA — Grammy award-winning singer Burna Boy is once again dominating headlines and timelines after previewing his fiery new diss track titled “Lamborghini”—a bold response to the controversy involving Lagos-based socialite, Sophia Egbueje.

The artist, known for his genre-defying sound and outspoken persona, shared a snippet of the unreleased track during a club appearance, where he was seen dancing with visible excitement as the song blared through the speakers. The moment was captured in a now-viral video, triggering an avalanche of online reactions and debates over the song’s message and intent.

The track appears to be a direct clapback at Egbueje, who earlier accused Burna Boy in a leaked audio of promising—but failing—to gift her a Lamborghini. The clip sparked days of gossip and speculation across social media. In response, Burna Boy took the drama a step further by debuting the diss track live during a music concert in Kenya, drawing both applause and criticism.


From Club to Concert Stage: Diss Track Goes Global

The “Lamborghini” performance has since gone global, with fans and critics dissecting every line for hidden jabs and lyrical shade. While Burna Boy hasn’t officially addressed the situation beyond the music, his actions speak volumes—and the timing of the track’s preview suggests a calculated media moment.

Mixed Reactions: “Where’s the Substance?”

Reactions to the preview have been divided, with some fans praising the energy of the track, while others questioned the depth of the lyrics—especially in light of Burna Boy’s previous comments on the lack of substance in today’s music.

“After this one, he’ll still say other people’s music has no substance—meanwhile he’s singing ‘dem dey for there’,” one user, Ghost Boy, commented.

Ejimo echoed the sentiment, stating: “Burna said in an interview that most songs have no meaning. I wonder what this song is about.”

Some fans, however, were more amused than critical. “All of them pass the vibes 😁,” wrote God Pikin, seemingly unbothered by the controversy.

Others, like Imere, were less forgiving: “This song is the worst from any artist in the history of Nigeria. One day, outsiders will tell Burna the truth.”

The Bigger Picture: PR Stunt or Artistic Expression?

With “Lamborghini”, Burna Boy once again blurs the line between personal drama and artistic expression. Some industry watchers believe the move is a strategic PR play designed to generate buzz ahead of a new project. Others argue it’s a genuine expression of frustration from an artist unwilling to remain silent when dragged into gossip.

Either way, Burna Boy has succeeded in reclaiming the narrative—turning scandal into spectacle.

As fans await the full release of “Lamborghini”, one thing is clear: whether you love him or loathe him, Burna Boy knows how to stay at the center of the conversation.
