It could be recalled that the state government in June 2022 unveiled the much celebrated actor with the aim of using his fan base as a catalyst to propagate the movement and acceptance of the scheme across the state.

The train which touched down at Kuto Market, Sapon, Omida, Itoku, Lafenwa and Oke-Ilewo, had the commuters, passersby, market women expressing their joy on sighting the Nigerian actor who freely danced and took ” selfies” with many of them.

Adekola, who encouraged the people to embrace the scheme, said the Prince Dapo Abiodun’s investment in the health sector is a reference point.

He said that the monthly payment of the sum of N1,000 per head and N4,000 for a family of six would help fast-track government efforts towards achieving universal health coverage.

 

 

“None of us prays for sickness but as we grow older, we tend to naturally have some health issues which call for care.

” With the monthly payment of N1,000 per person or N4,000 for a family of six, you don’t have to run from pillar to post to access healthcare.

 

 

 

“You will be issued an identity card which contains your details after completing your registration and you will be allocated to the closest health facility to your house,” he said.

He further said that this monthly premium covers a number of cases of surgical operation, just as he pointed out that the health insurance scheme is an initiative that has come to stay in Ogun State.

 

 

 

Speaking with newsmen, the Executive Secretary, OGSHIA, Dr. Dosumu, said that the road show would be replicated in all the four zones of the state, noting that Yewa, Ijebu and Remo should expect Odunlade Adekola in their locations as well.

He said that the Health Insurance Ambassador is a well known personality with more than five million followers on social media, saying that the purpose of the road show is to create awareness that will sink in people’s minds.

 

 

 

 

“The gains of this scheme are numerous. With a token of N1,000, we will take care of your health needs, be it medical or surgery. We are taking this road show to the four political zones of the state and we are also targeting major markets to further enhance our awareness creation,” Executive Secretary said.

Panic as Late Singer’s Mother Cries Out Over Alleged Kidnap of Son After Court Appearance

Panic as Late Singer’s Mother Cries Out Over Alleged Kidnap of Son After Court Appearance

Lagos was thrown into panic on Wednesday after the mother of the late singer, Abosede Aloba, raised an alarm over the alleged abduction of her son, Adura, by unknown gunmen. The incident, which took place outside the Magistrates’ Court in Ogba, has sparked outrage and concerns over the safety of individuals involved in legal disputes.

According to eyewitnesses, Adura was forcefully taken away by unidentified armed men immediately after leaving the court premises. Speculation is rife that the abductors may be law enforcement officers acting under undisclosed directives.

Reports indicate that Adura was at the court over a dispute with Damola Ayinde regarding the sale of a mobile phone. The legal battle, however, escalated into a broader case involving actor Yomi Fabiyi, Damola Ayinde, and other parties.

Mother’s Cry for Help

Following Adura’s sudden disappearance, his distressed mother, Abosede Aloba, was seen in a car weeping and calling for assistance. In an emotional outburst captured on video, she accused actor Yomi Fabiyi and another individual, Sam Jojo, of orchestrating the abduction.

“Please help me, people of God! It’s Yomi Fabiyi. They’ve taken my son, and I don’t know where they’re taking him,” she lamented.

Abosede further alleged that Adura was not in good health at the time of his abduction, raising fears about his well-being and safety.

Public Outcry and Calls for Investigation

The alleged abduction has ignited public outrage, with concerned citizens and human rights activists calling on the Lagos State Police Command to immediately investigate the incident and ensure Adura’s safe return.

So far, neither the police nor the accused individuals have issued official statements regarding the allegations. However, the growing tension surrounding the case has intensified calls for justice and transparency.

As of press time, efforts to reach Adura’s family for further updates have been unsuccessful. The situation remains fluid, with many awaiting clarification on the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
