Why we demolished Kpokpogri’s house – FCTA
The Federal Capital Territory Administration has revealed why a building owned by Tonto Dikeh's ex-boyfriend, Joseph Egbri, popularly known as Kpokpogri, was demolished this morning May 14.
In an interview with Punch, an aide to the FCT Minister stated that Kpokpogri’s house was demolished because it was built on a major highway.
Also speaking, the Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Monitoring, Inspection, and Entrustment, Attah Ikharo, said the building didn’t get approval from the necessary agencies.
“His house is on a super highway known as M-16. He doesn’t even have a building plan approval. It’s like somebody who knows that the highway is coming sold the land to him and he just went to build. We have been asking him to stop but he refused.”
Debunking Kpokpogri’s claim, the minister’s aide noted that he was warned against building on the land but he refused.
“In Abuja, before you build, you must get building plan approval. There was no approval at all for him. The place was initially allocated to somebody long ago. So I think the person now sold it to somebody who then sold it to him. When he discovered that it was a road, He didn’t stop but kept rushing the building. The whole building was built in less than a year.
The Federal Housing Authority Managing Director came here twice this week. The MD came the day before yesterday (Thursday) that they didn’t give him approval and the building was illegally constructed.

Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah Speaks over the Killing of Deborah Yakubu a student in Sokoto
Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah has called on Christians in the country to remain calm and to avoid any action that might ignite civil unrest in the country.
The revered leader made the call in a response to the unfortunate incident that led to the loss of life of a female student, Deborah Yakubu, at the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto state.
The tragedy occurred following alleged blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad S.A.W made by the female student.

Kukah, added that the government had directed immediate closure of the institution to forestall a breakdown of law and order in the state.
J#ngle justics on Student in Sokoto Condemned
The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC has condemned in its entirety the killing of Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto, over allegations of blasphemy.
This is contained in a statement signed by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Friday, describing the killing as outrageous, illegal and unlawful.
“A female student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, Deborah Samuel, was on Thursday killed for allegedly blaspheming against the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The blasphemed statement was reportedly posted on a WhatsApp group. She was asked to withdraw the statement but she allegedly refused to do so. The school’s security unit and police were overwhelmed by the crowd when they tried to rescue her.
“MURIC strongly condemns this killing and all others that have been happening in Nigeria in recent times. Those aggrieved by the student’s post should have reported her to the security agencies or the Shariah police, the hizbah. Mob killing is archaic and bohemian. It belongs to the Stone Age. Nobody has the right to take the law into his hands.
“The Glorious Qur’an compares the killing of a single person to the killing of the whole of humanity just as it compares the saving of life to the rescue of all homo sapiens (Qur’an 5:32) In like manner, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) himself condemned all acts of violence and advocated peaceful conduct at all times.

CBN, Mr Godwin Emiefele has dragged INEC, AGF and three others to Federal Court.
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN, Mr Godwin Emiefele has dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, Attorney General of the Federation AGF, and three others before a Federal High Court in Abuja seeking enforcement of his right to contest the 2023 Presidential election.
Mr Emiefele told the court that he can run for the post of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria without vacating his position as the CBN governor.
Chief Mike Ozekhome, lead Counsel to Mr Emiefele, stressed that the applicant is in a dilemma as to whether to run for the 2023 presidential election or not and therefore has come to court for interpretation of section 318 of the Constitution.
Chief Ozekhome, observed that Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act as amended, 2022 does not affect him, being a public servant and not a political appointee, while arguing that the said section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act has been struck down by Justice Evelyn Anyadike of the Federal High Court Umuahia.
He, therefore, urged the court to order the maintenance of status quo ante bellum, pending the determination of the motion on notice.
In a ruling, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, held that having read the affidavit in support of the motion exparte directed the defendants to come on May 12, to show cause why the applicant's motion exparte should not be granted.
