FAKE ALERT! EBONYI STATE GOVERNMENT DENIES THE CLAIM THAT THERE WAS BOMB BLAST IN SOME PART OF THE STATE

PRESS RELEASE

MAY 25, 2021

My attention has been drawn to a news making the round in some section of the media that there was an explosion of a suicide bomb in Afikpo, Ebonyi State this afternoon.

The above news is in sharp contrast to the reality as the incident was a grenade of a security personnel carrying out his duties at the said location that accidentally exploded. A similar incident equally occurred in front of the Ebonyi State Old Government House as some mobile police officers were servicing their APC machine. The first incident took the life of the bearer while the second caused injuries on the affected person, who has been taken to the hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.

The general public is, therefore, charged to disregard the fake news as it is the handiwork of enemies of the state who are bent on causing panic where none exists.

Furthermore, Ebonyians and residents of Ebonyi State are reminded that generating and spreading of fake news aimed at causing panic in the state is actionable.

The Palestinian terrorist political party HAMAS launched thousands of rockets into Israel in May 2021, seemingly ready to add a fourth war to its tally since it took over Gaza in 2007. In short order, the streets in major cities around the world were full of protesters raging about the hundreds of people who were killed by Israel’s retaliatory attacks on the HAMAS terrorist infrastructure.

Thousands of children have been killed in the bloody campaign but the loss of life of these poor Muslim Arabs gathers neither tears nor ...

HOUSE OF REPS RECEIVES PROPOSAL TO CHANGE NIGERIA’S NAME TO UAR

HOUSE OF REPS RECEIVES PROPOSAL TO CHANGE NIGERIA’S NAME TO UAR A proposal to change Nigeria’s name to United African Republic has been received by the House of Representatives Special Committee on Constitution Review. The proposal was submitted by Adeleye Jokotoye, a tax consultant to the committee at the South West zonal public hearing in Lagos. According to Jokotoye, the name ‘Nigeria’ was imposed on the country in the colonial era, hence it should be changed. Jokotoye also explained that he chose ‘United Africa Republic’ because the country is made up of hundreds of ethnic groups that need to be United. He also suggested as an alternative, ‘United Alkebulan Republic’ (Alkebulan means ‘mother of mankind’).
