King of night life and Chairman of Aquilla Group, Shina Peller might be forced to take up a political post in his hometown, Iseyin, Oyo State. The easy going man, was recently a guest at Nigerian Union of Journalists NUJ, Oyo state chapter, where he confirmed he is currently under intense pressure by indigenes of Oyo state, particularly his constituency to run for a political office in the 2019 general elections.

A 23-year-old man, Kinsley Eze, has said that he sold his five months old baby boy for N250,000 due to lack of money to raise and train him.

Eze made the confession while in the custody of the police in Umuahia, the Abia State capital. He said he had agreed with his girlfriend to sell the baby before luck ran out on them.

Eze said, “I am a mechanic. I was arrested for child trafficking. The baby is mine; my fiancee gave birth to him. We decided to sell the baby because I wasn’t making enough money to take care of him and the mother.”


The police in the state also arrested another child trafficking suspect, Chinkata Chikezie, who reportedly sold his five-year-old son for an undisclosed amount.

The Nigerian Army said on Sunday that it had concluded plans to launch its “Operation Crocodile Smile” in Ogun State.

The operation is a training and operations exercise planned for the South-western part of the country.

The Brigade Commander of the 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala, Abeokuta, Basil Adoke, disclosed this in Abeokuta at a reception organised by the state government as part of activities to mark Nigeria’s 57th independence anniversary.

Mr. Adoke, who said that the initiative would commence “in the next couple of days” across the state and its environs, said it is targeted at miscreants.
