Activist Gwamnishu kn+cks NPF PRO, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, for claiming that 33-year-old suspect, Erasmus, di3d of asphyxiation and wasn’t t3rtured in police custody.
He said Why do Police Image Makers always report what you were told without investigation? How can a suspect d#e of asphyxiation? That’s s¥ffocation. Did you visit the scene so they show you where he di£d of asphyxiation? Autopsy result is what you are coming to quote and also boldly tagging the young man a c¥Itist who has not been convicted and can’t even defend himself now.
Did you make findings about his accusers? Did you visit the community where he was said to have k#lled and r+pe people? What kind of cell was the young man locked up? Do you know what sack k+lling is?
He concluded by telling the force PRO that is so educated and decent to be rushing to the media without getting all the fact.

Sophia Momodu has filed her defence in a lawsuit insisted by a Nigerian musician, Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke over custody of their daughter, Aurora Imade Adeleke.
It would be recalled that the case was initiated by Davido who wanted the joint custody of Imade. The legal action, filed on April 17, 2024, and bearing the suit number LD/1587PMC/2024, names Davido as the applicant and Sophia Momodu as the respondent, marking the beginning of a legal battle over the child’s custody.
Davido, through his legal action, is seeking a court order granting him joint custody of his daughter, Imade, and unrestricted access to her. While acknowledging that his relationship with Sophia Momodu, Imade’s mother, ended several years ago, Davido emphasised that he had consistently fulfilled his financial responsibilities towards their child’s well-being, demonstrating his commitment to Imade’s care and support.
By seeking joint custody and unfettered access, Davido aimed to ensure a continued active role in his daughter’s life. Davido also alleged that Momodu demanded he pay the nanny she hired a monthly salary of $800, equivalent to $19,600 annually, which he deemed excessive.
Despite his efforts to provide for their daughter’s well-being, Davido claimed that Momodu has consistently treated him with cruelty and caused him significant emotional pain. In light of these circumstances, Davido is seeking a court order granting him joint custody of their daughter, Imade Adeleke, to ensure a more collaborative and harmonious approach to her care and upbringing.
SaharaReporters learnt further that Sophia Momodu, in her response to the singer’s case, filed a 102 paragraphs of counter affidavit via her legal team Dr Anthony Idigbe SAN of Punuka Attorneys and Dr Bimpe Ajegbomogun. The next hearing is slated for Friday, 5th of July, 2024.

Stellantis (STLA) is partnering with French government-backed research organization CEA to develop next-generation battery cells for electric vehicles, the company announced Wednesday.
The five-year joint research program will work to develop battery cells with longer lifespans, better performance, and a lower carbon footprint.
“We know that battery technology is poised for change. While we don’t know exactly how it will change, we are committed to be at the forefront of this transformation,” Stellantis Chief Engineering and Technology Officer Ned Curic said in a statement.
The Amsterdam-based owner of auto brands including Chrysler, Jeep, Fiat, and Maserati will receive support from CEA’s energy division, which works to design innovations in decarbonization technology.
“This exciting project makes the best use of more than 25 years of expertise in the field of Li-ion batteries at CEA to the benefit of one of the major automotive actors in the competitive race for electrical mobility,” Philippe Stohr, head of CEA's Energy division, said.
Stellantis is no stranger to EV joint ventures (JV). In October, the automaker established a JV with global nuclear fuel cycle company Orano for a battery recycling plant set to begin production in 2026.
Shares of Stellantis closed up almost 1% higher on a holiday-shortened trading day Wednesday.

4m Just In: Labour predicted to win UK election in landslide with 410 seats, according to exit poll
Keir Starmer will be Britain’s next prime minister with his Labour Party set to win a massive majority in a parliamentary election, an exit poll on Thursday indicated, while Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives are forecast to suffer historic losses, ending 14 years of Conservative rule.
Sir Keir Starmer’s party looks set to secure the win with an estimated 410 seats – equating to an overall majority of 170 – according to the poll by Ipsos UK for Sky News/BBC/ITV News.
This is compared to the Conservatives, who are projected to win just 131 seats, compared to 365 in the 2019 vote.
The poll suggests that while Labour have likely secured their anticipated landslide victory, more than doubling their result of 203 from five years ago, they may have fallen just short of the 179-seat majority Tony Blair won in 1997.
However, they may achieve the landslide on a smaller share of the vote than what Jeremy Corbyn secured in 2017. Meanwhile, both the Conservative share of the vote and their seat tally could be the lowest in the party’s history, falling below the 156 won in 1906. The Liberal Democrats are also projected to win more than five times the number of seats that they secured at the last election, going from 11 to 61 in the exit poll.

Amid public outr@ge and nationwide protests, Kenya’s President William Ruto has instructed his ministers and lawmakers to “live within their means,” ordering the withdrawal of their recent pay rise.
President Ruto gave this directive through the spokesperson for the Kenya State House, Hussein Mohammed, on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, amidst criticisms following reports of the pay rise for ministers and lawmakers.
“The President has emphasised that now more than ever, the Executive and all arms of government must live within their means,” Mr Mohammed said, adding that Mr Ruto has instructed a review of salaries for his ministers and lawmakers.
It was reported on Tuesday that Mr Ruto’s ministers and Kenyan members of parliament received a pay rise effective July 1.
According to local media, the pay rise for Mr Ruto’s cabinet members and lawmakers coincided with nationwide protests that have resulted in over 39 d£aths and hundreds of inj¥ries.
Previously, each cabinet secretary who earned Ksh. 957,000 will now earn Ksh. 990,000 plus allowances, and each of the 51 principal secretaries who earned Ksh. 792,519 will now earn Ksh. 819,844.
The salaries of the speakers of the National Assembly and Senate increased from Ksh. 1,185,327 to Ksh. 1,208,362, while salaries of members of parliament increased from Ksh. 725,502 to Ksh. 739,600.
Although deliberations on salary increments for Mr Ruto’s cabinet members and lawmakers occurred months ago, their implementation coincided with d£adly protests against a tax hike.
However, Mr Ruto later announced the suspension of the pay rise for his ministers and lawmakers for the time being.
