Three undergraduate students of University of Port Harcourt, (UNIPORT) were abducted and killed by a kidnap gang in Eleme local government area of Rivers state

The 400 level students identified as Joy Adoki, Nelson Nwafor and Fortune Obimba were declared missing by the police on April 19 after Adoki’s brother filed a complaint at eleme police station. The victims were reportedly kidnaped on April 7, 2020, after one Bright told the kidnapers that the victims betrayed him after paying money into the account of one of them.

It was also gathered that, the kidnapers contacted the family of the victims days after they disappeared and demanded for a ransom which was paid. Despite the payment, the kidnapers failed to release them as promised, but instead killed and buried them.

Their decomposed bodies were recovered from a shallow grave in Etoo, Eleme Local Government area of Rivers state, after the arrest of the gang members.

THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made an interim remittance of N3.5 billion to the Federal Government consolidated account for 2020.

This is in addition to more than N3.5 billion paid to candidates as reduction of cost of ePIN as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Head of Media of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made this known on Sunday in a statement in Abuja.

He said this was in line with the expected remittance the JAMB Registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, had made commitment to remit.
The statement read: “The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has made an interim remittance of N3.5 billion to the Federal Government consolidated account for the 2020 expected remittance in line with Professor Is-haq Oloyede’s commitment to remit wholly, excess funds generated from its operations to the Federal Government.

“It had earlier made the payment of over N3.5 billion to candidates by way of reduction of N1,500 from the cost of each ePIN sold to each candidates as directed by the president totaling over N3.5 billion with the assurance to remit more as soon as it operations are concluded and proper audit of its books done.
“From the outset, it had been the intention of the present leadership of the board to return to federal coffers whatever is left unutilised from its operational imperatives.

“The immediate benefit of the move manifested in the reduction by President Muhammadu Buhari of the UTME registration fee payable by candidates from N5000 to N3500 which entails the transfer of over N3 billion to candidates and guardians annually via the reduction in the cost of application documents.”

The alumni of the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, (AOCOED) Oto/Ijanikin, Lagos State, has announced its decision to mass produce facemasks for students, its host communities and residents in Lagos, free.

The association said the move was part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) to support the Lagos State Government’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, last week made compulsory the use of facemask from Monday, as part of measures to further contain the pandemic.

“The Secretary of the association, Mr. Ismaila Yusuf, has listed the names of past and present students of AOCOED who have come up with beautiful designs suitable for the purpose. We are set to mobilise them for immediate production of free face masks to Lagosians,” he added.

Eniola said 1,000 facemasks would be produced in the first phase of the initiative solely for students of AOCOED as samples, after which the very best among the lot would be selected for further mass production to host communities as well as Lagos residents.

Eniola said those for Lagos residents would be delivered to the Office of the Special Adviser on Education.
