Group Raises Alarm Over Wanted Suspect Allegedly Moving Freely, Petitions IGP for Urgent Probe

Image
A youth group in Osun State, Igbimo Odo Ìjèsà, has called on the Inspector-General of Police to urgently investigate the alleged freedom of a wanted suspect, Solomon Adefisoye, popularly known as Solo Iwara, who is reportedly still moving openly despite being declared wanted for serious crimes. In a statement issued by the group on Tuesday by its spokesman, Olumide Adedeji, members expressed shock and concern that the suspect, allegedly wanted for murder, kidnapping, and robbery, continues to move freely across Ilesa and other parts of Ìjèsà land without apparent restraint. “It is alarming and deeply troubling that an individual declared wanted for grave crimes can still be seen openly in our communities, moving about without fear or consequence,” the group stated. It will be recalled that Solomon Adefisoye has been declared wanted for the murder of some Ijesa youths.  The list of those allegedly murdered through Solo Iwara's activities include:  Gbenga Ogbara and ...

FROM VILLAGE ROOTS TO CORNERSTONE: ENGR. BASHIRU GEGU’S STEADY RISE IN KOGI LGA

Image
By Abu Micheal Not every leader begins with privilege. Engr. Bashiru Gegu grew up with little, in a setting where opportunities were scarce and expectations were low. Few would have predicted that the quiet village boy would one day hold a position of influence in Kogi State. That changed when two leaders, former Governor Yahaya Bello and Governor Usman Ahmed Ododo, chose to look beyond his background and recognize what others overlooked. What they saw was potential — steady, grounded, and capable of growth. Today, that potential has matured into service that many in Kogi LGA now depend on. Engr. Gegu has become a consistent presence for the people often left at the margins — the low-income families, the struggling youth, and communities with limited access to support. His connection to them isn’t just professional, it’s personal.
