    Super TV CEO was gagged, tortured – Brother

    Dr. Isi Ataga has stated that his brother, Super TV CEO, Usifo Ataga, was bound, gagged, and tortured before he was killed.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that the body of the deceased was found in a hotel room where he had spent the night with a 300 Level student of the University of Lagos, Chidinma Ojukwu, who confessed to having killed him.

    Isi, in a statement titled, ‘Who will speak for Usifo Ataga?’ expressed the doubt that the murder was carried out by a single person owing to the manner it was done.

    He said, “Usifo died a horrific death. He wasn’t stabbed two or even five times; he was stabbed multiple times. His hands were bound tightly and the marks were still all over his wrists, accompanied by evidence of torture and assault even as his corpse lay in the morgue.

    “And no one in the entire building heard his screams because he was gagged. Let that sink in, he was bound, gagged and tortured!

    “The now-viral video of the room with the deceased lying on the floor shows a room with blood-stained walls and floor, evidence of a ferocious struggle. One person could never have carried these out.”

    We saw the revelation, prayed against Yinka Odumakin’s death– Brother

    Elder brother of Yinka Odumakin, the late spokesman of Afenifere, Pastor Jacob Odumakin, on Monday said a prophecy had revealed imminent demise of the right activist.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Yinka died on Saturday after battling with respiratory problems occasioned by COVID-19 complications.

    His elder brother in a chat with Punch said prayer sessions were organized to prevent the death.

    He noted that although the unforeseen still happened, Yinka’s aged father was consoled by the ministers after he was told of the death, adding that their mother was, however, heartbroken.

    “There was a prophecy that we should pray for Yinka so that fresh tree would not fall instead of the dry one. What that means is that our dad, who is 115 years old, is alive and 56-year-old, the last child of our father is gone.”

    Pastor Odumakin also said leadership of Afenifere had informed the family that the group would organize the burial of the late activist.

    National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Monday visited the widow late Odumakin at the family residence in the Omole area of Lagos.

    Tinubu, who visited Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin around 2pm, told her that Yinka was dear to his heart and that his demise represented a big loss.

    Tinubu later told newsmen that Odumakin contributed to constitutional democracy in the country.

    He said, “The late Odumakin and I, as well as others, were together during the struggle for the actualisation of June 12, 1993 presidential election won by the late MKO Abiola.”

     

  • I did not neglect my brother- Mide Martins

    I did not neglect my brother- Mide Martins

    Actress, Mide Martins has cleared the air about the controversy surrounding her, saying she has not neglected her brother.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that the actress was accused of abandoning her younger brother, Damilare, who her mother allegedly bore for Juju singer, Sir Shina Peters.

    Martins wrote on Instagram:” Hello Everyone! My name is MIDE MARTINS. I’ll like to tell a little part of my own side of the story. Firstly, I want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed greatly to the ongoing issue and also apologize sincerely to everyone that I might have hurt or disappointed in any way; I am deeply sorry from the depth of my heart.”

    She added that she had been mute on the issue because she believed the issue was a family affair.

    “Anyone who knows me very well would know that I am a private person; I personally do not really like sharing or celebrating on social media some things relating to my family, like the annual remembrance ceremony of my late mother, Funmi Martins, which I duly observe every year in honour of her memory.

    “When my mum, late Funmi Martins, passed away 19 years ago, my whole world was shattered, devastated, crumbled, broken and lonely without anyone’s support. How I managed to survive through the storm is only by the special grace of God.”

    Martins recounted that contrary to conjectures on social media, she had tried frantically to take custody of her younger brother but to no avail.

    She said, “ Damilare was living with my grandma back then in Abeokuta and I was doing all that I could to take care of him, until a few years ago when she also passed on and Damilare was taken away to live with my uncle.

    “I had requested custody of Damilare several times, even before grandma died, but was denied. Damilare is my blood brother; it is not possible for me to neglect him, but there’s much more to this story than you all know which I’m sorry I will not go into details about because it’s a family matter.

    “I am not a heartless person, despite the fact that I don’t have it all, the little I have, I give wholeheartedly. However, I just want to ask for a favour!! Can Damilare be finally released to me? Can I have my brother Damilare? I promise to take good care of him in my own little way; may God help me so. Thank you, everyone!! God bless every family out there!!!”
