Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has vowed to ensure effective sanctions are meted out to any official found wanting in the face of allegations that convicted cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, who was sentenced to six months in prison, was allegedly given an apartment outside the custodial facility. Speaking at a media interface Friday in Abuja, the minister said the suspension of senior officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS, was to ensure unhindered investigation into the matter. He said: “We will not spare anybody no matter how highly placed. Let’s be patient. “Investigation is on. But let’s be assured that nobody will be shielded and nobody will be protected.”
Tunji-Ojo expressed confidence in the ability of the investigative panel headed by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Dr Magdalene Ajani, to discharge its mandate creditably. According to him, members of the committee were carefully selected, with two of them from the civil society community.

Helene made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane Thursday night with wind speeds of around 140 miles per hour. It has since weakened to a tropical storm but continues to cause damage, deaths and severe power outages.
Across Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, at least 20 people have died as of midday Friday, reported.
Almost 4 million people had lost power across South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida as of 1:30 pm Eastern, according to PowerOutage.us.
Helene weakened to a tropical storm as it moved farther inland over Georgia, but "life-threatening storm surge, winds, and heavy rains continue," the National Hurricane Center said.
The storm is producing "historic and catastropic flooding over portions of the Southeast and Southern Appalachians," the center also said Friday at midday Eastern Time.
Insured losses from Helene could add up to $3-$6 billion, UBS analysts said in a note Thursday, quoting preliminary estimates from reinsurance company Gallagher Re. In comparison, Hurricane Ian, a Category 4 storm in 2022, caused damage worth roughly $55 billion, the UBS analyst wrote.

Shares of Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), and MGM Resorts International (MGM) gained again Friday on optimism that the big stimulus package announced by China will increase business at their casinos in Macau.
All three have posted strong gains this week from the moves from Beijing designed to push the country's 2024 economic growth closer to its 5% target.
China's central bank moved to cut interest rates and inject liquidity into its banking system, and more economic drivers are expected to come before the country's National Day holiday on Oct. 1.
Wynn Resorts shares received an added boost from Morgan Stanley, which upgraded the stock on what it called a "favorable risk-reward." The bank raised its rating to "overweight" from "equal-weight," and lifted the price target $7 to $104.
Morgan Stanley pointed to a "combination of near low valuation, an underappreciated growth opportunity in UAE, and optionality around Macau."
With this week's advance for the casino operators, Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands shares moved positive territory for 2024. MGM Resorts International is still down 11% for the year.

Fresh data from Costco Wholesale (COST) illustrates a key reason it's thought of as a good retail employer: Its wages are substantially above the national industry average.
On the company's Thursday earnings conference call, CEO Ron Vachris said Costco's average wage has reached "just north" of $30 per hour after a round of wage increases brought its minimum wage to $19.50 per hour and added 50 cents per hour to each pay tier.
Costco has long advocated the nation that higher wages lead to more productive employees, which leads to higher sales. CFO Gary Millerchip on Thursday said wages are a "critical part of delivering a better experience for our members."
The warehouse retailer is roughly $5.50 above the retail average of $24.57 per hour as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for August. Retail broadly saw the second lowest average wage in the BLS data at $24.02. That put it above only hospitality at $22.18, with an average wage over $51 for workers in the utilities sector.
Wages are one reason Costco has low employee turnover, along with its tendency to promote from within, which Vachris also highlighted in Thursday's call. He said the company promoted 95 new warehouse managers in fiscal 2024, and 85% of those promotions were people who started as an hourly worker at Costco.
The overall average private nonfarm wage in August was just under $34, according to the BLS data.
