DELTA State Governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, yesterday, said the game was over for kidnappers.

Uduaghan, who spoke during the presentation of staff of office to the Ovie of Agbarha-Otor Kingdom, Ughelli North Local Government Area of the State, HRM Richard Oghenevwogaga Ebelle Okorefe I, said kidnapping was a heinous crime which must be brought to a halt the way slave trade was brought to an end.

Fresh facts emerged yesterday on why the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, took over the prosecution of Hon. Farouk Lawan and Boniface Emenalo, the erstwhile Chairman and Secretary of the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Fuel Subsidy Pprobe, respectively.

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Rules and Business, Hon. Sam Tsokwa (PDP Taraba) heads a very vital committee which could be likened to the engine room of the Green Chambers of the National Assembly. In this no-holds-barred interview he granted to a group of journalists, he postulated that the Farouk Lawan saga was contrived by the executive arm of Government to rubbish the report of the House Committee on Petroleum Subsidy which the embattled Lawan chaired.He asked why the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar who investigated the allegations against Farouk refused to charge him to court?

When they struck, the initial conclusion was that these were members of the Jamaatul Ahjlil Sunna lidawati wal Jihad, otherwise known as Boko Haram, who had just some 48hours earlier agreed to a ceasefire. However, Sunday Vanguard investigations reveal that these are thieves that have taken over an entire emirate covering Kaduna, Katsina and Zamfara States.

In his sickbed, he reviews his actions and agrees that he is rather too hard on Chief Babigha over the excrement-pouring, the dehumanising tying and the burning down of the shrine and that he has to build bridges before he dies. His wife Mitovwodo assures him that he will not die since he has withstood greater challenges in his life – like Chief Bekederemo’s survival when his half-brother Sabolo shoots him in the chest with a double barrel gun, when Chief Dore Numa sends an ark of small pox to him and when Agbodobiri people tell Chief Dore Numa and the white friends that he has committed multiple murder in the matter of twins, Erekebena, Chief Bekederemo’s wife, her father and entire family absolve him of the murder charge.
