In recent weeks, serious allegations have emerged regarding misconduct within the Ogun Nigeria Civil Service Union, particularly focusing on purported “sex for loan” escapades involving key figures, including Union leader Sanyaolu Oladipupo Ismail. These claims have sparked outrage and concern within the community and the broader public. However, it is crucial to approach such allegations with caution and to consider the facts before drawing conclusions.
We are aware of some set of people hiding under a page identified as ‘Evangelist Taurus May’ operated by a Ghanaian, the falsehood story was published by a faceless online medium ‘The Source’ with no traceable means. The defamation story shall be treated accordingly and the person will be arrested and adequately prosecuted for defaming Comrade Ismail Oladipupo Sanyaolu.

While stressing further, we are aware of the attacks coming from opposition who are planning to take over the administration of NSCU in the forthcoming election in the year 2026.

Understanding the Context

The Ogun Nigeria Civil Service Union has long been a pillar of support for civil servants, advocating for their rights and welfare. The organization plays a vital role in ensuring that employees are treated fairly, and it has consistently worked to provide necessary resources for its members. Allegations of misconduct undermine the Union’s mission and destabilize the trust that has been built over the years.

The Allegations: A Closer Look

The claims suggest that loans intended to assist members in times of need were contingent upon inappropriate exchanges. Such assertions are serious and, if true, would warrant immediate investigation. However, it is essential to note that these claims are currently unsubstantiated and appear to stem from misunderstandings or misrepresentations of the Union’s loan processes.

Debunking the Myths

1. Loan Application Procedures : The Ogun Nigeria Civil Service Union has established clear and transparent procedures for loan applications. All members are encouraged to apply, and decisions are based on established criteria, such as employment status and repayment capability. There is no provision for personal favors or exchanges.

2. Supportive Leadership : Sanyaolu, as the Union leader, has consistently emphasized the importance of integrity and ethical conduct. His leadership has been characterized by a commitment to transparency and accountability. Any claims suggesting otherwise must be examined critically.

3. Community Testimonials : Numerous members of the Union have come forward to express their support for the leadership and the processes in place. Many have successfully benefited from loans without any impropriety. Their testimonials highlight the positive impact of the Union’s initiatives.

4. Lack of Evidence : As of now, no credible evidence has been presented to substantiate the allegations. It is vital to remember that accusations alone do not equate to guilt. The Union encourages anyone with concerns to come forward with specific evidence for a thorough investigation, while legal actions will be launched at the culprit once we were able to identify him or her with immediate prosecution at the court of competent jurisdiction.


The Call for Unity and Support

In light of these allegations, it is essential for members of the Ogun Nigeria Civil Service Union and the community at large to remain united. The Union’s strength lies in its solidarity and commitment to protecting the rights of civil servants. Instead of allowing unfounded rumors to create division, it is time to focus on the positive work being done and hold constructive dialogues about any genuine concerns.

Conclusion

The Ogun Nigeria Civil Service Union stands firm against the allegations and is committed to full transparency. The leadership encourages open communication and invites any members who feel aggrieved to reach out directly to discuss their concerns. As the community navigates these challenging times, let us prioritize facts over rumors and work together to foster an environment of trust and support.

By addressing these issues head-on, we can ensure that the Union continues to thrive and serve its members effectively, upholding the values of integrity and respect that are paramount to our mission.

Family Pleads With FG to save brother in South African prison

Family Pleads With FG to save brother in South African prison

Family Pleads With FG to save brother in South African prison

 

The family of a Nigerian businessman, Olatunji Abdul, imprisoned in South Africa, has called on the Nigerian government and the Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, to intervene and save his life urgently.

The family, at a press conference on Thursday at Ikeja, alleged that Olatunji, a businessman and humanitarian, who has been held in a South African prison since 2019, is a victim of false charges allegedly orchestrated by state agents and xenophobic business rivals and that he is facing imminent danger.

PUNCH Metro gathered that through a petition submitted by the founder of Zarephath Aid, Ben Abraham, an international criminal justice organisation, the family narrated the ordeal of the Osun State-born entrepreneur.

 

Abdul, who relocated to South Africa in 2009, established himself as a prominent figure in the hospitality and tourism sectors.

According to the family, as the founder and CEO of Hydro Club, a leading hospitality consultancy in Johannesburg, he provided employment opportunities for Nigerians and supported businesses, students, and tourists in the diaspora.

However, his family believes his success made him a target for xenophobic competitors and corrupt officials.

 

Olatunji’s brother, Sesan, revealed that in 2019, these forces allegedly initiated a scheme, called “#DestroyAbdul,” aimed at destroying his reputation and business ventures.

Sesan claimed that this led to his wrongful arrest, denial of bail, and coercion into providing false confessions.

“In 2020, Olatunji was convicted on charges of theft and sentenced to 15 years in prison, a sentence his supporters insist was based on fabricated evidence.’

“Despite being granted leave to appeal his sentence in November 2024, Abdul is said to be facing further challenges as his efforts to secure legal representation for his appeal have been thwarted.

 

“Several lawyers have reportedly withdrawn from his case due to threats and intimidation, leaving him to represent himself in court,” he said.

His family further stated that his situation is worsening, with fears of poisoning in prison and the confiscation of his laptop, which he needed for legal preparation.

The family, along with Zarephath Aid, appealed to the FG to act swiftly to prevent Olatunji’s death.

 

“If nothing is done, we risk losing a man who has brought pride to Nigeria and significantly contributed to the Nigerian diaspora.”

The petition reads. “Abdul is not a criminal; he is a victim of a malicious plot to destroy him.”

Olatunji’s physical and emotional health has reportedly deteriorated.

His family added that without intervention, his life remains in grave danger.

“This is not just about Abdul,” said Ben Abraham of Zarephath Aid. “It is about protecting Nigerians abroad who face unjust persecution despite their positive contributions.

 

“Abdul is an example of what Nigerians can achieve, and he deserves the protection of his country,” he said.

“Abdul is not just a businessman; he is a father, a son, and a role model for Nigerians in the diaspora. Nigeria must act now to bring him home,” the family stated.

Odutola said that the deceased’s brother, Jimoh Godday, residing in Imota, Lagos State, informed the police team that his brother had arrived in Nigeria from the USA on Saturday, November 16, 2024.

 

She explained further that Godday said he had called at the hotel on Monday and knocked on Room 109, where his brother was staying, but got no response after which he requested a spare key from the manager to enter the room, where they discovered his brother’s lifeless body.

Odutola said, “Photos were taken, and various drugs and traditional medicines were recovered from the room.

 

“The centre of the bed was soaked with a liquid-like substance. A friend of the deceased, Ogunmonti Ogunwole, confirmed that he accompanied his friend, Sunday, to purchase nine different types of medication the previous day due to his complaints of illness.

“The body has since been evacuated to OOUTH morgue in Sagamu for an autopsy.

“No known cause of death yet, and the case will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for discreet investigation.”
