Senator Condemns Death Of Delta Community Leader In Military Custody
Senator Ede Dafinone, representing Delta Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, has expressed his deep sorrow over the death of Pa James Oghoroko, the President-General of Okuama community in Ughelli South Local Government Area.
Oghoroko died in military detention on December 4, 2024, under what the senator described as distressing circumstances.
In a statement issued in Warri, Delta State, Senator Dafinone condemned the events leading to Oghoroko’s death and called for the immediate release of five other community leaders who have been detained by the Nigerian military since August 2024.

These detainees include Prof. Arthur Ekpekpo, Chief Belvis Adogbo, Pa Dennis Okugbaye, Pa Anthony Ahwemuria, and Mrs Rita Akata.
Dafinone said, “I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of Pa James Achovwuko Oghoroko, President-General of the Okuama community, who died in military custody under distressing circumstances.”
He also emphasised Oghoroko’s importance to the community, noting that his death is a significant loss to both his family and the entire Delta Central region. Dafinone extended his condolences to the bereaved and expressed hopes that the community would find the strength to cope with the loss.
The Senator sharply criticized the military’s actions, stating that the prolonged detention of the community leaders without trial violates their human rights and undermines the rule of law. He demanded that the detained individuals either be charged in court or released immediately.
“The current posture of the military authorities, where they have assumed the position of prosecutor and the judge in their case, doesn’t speak well for Nigeria’s democracy,” Dafinone added.
He also expressed concern over the conditions under which detainees are being held, questioning the well-being of the remaining leaders from Okuama. He warned that the military’s dual role as accuser and judge could erode trust in Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
Dafinone assured the Okuama people of his unwavering support in their pursuit of justice and called for greater transparency and accountability from the military.
“Our democracy rests on the pillars of justice, equity, and due process, and any deviation from these principles erodes public confidence in our institutions,” he concluded.

Moses also invited fans to join them in celebrating the blessing of their new addition. “Join us to thank God for blessing our family with a baby boy. This song is our testimony,” he added.
Marie, a Ghanaian-born lawyer based in London, married Moses Bliss in March 2024. Their relationship has been widely admired, and this new chapter in their lives has drawn an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and well-wishers.
The couple’s announcement follows a series of milestones for Moses Bliss, including celebrating his wife’s 25th birthday and delivering divine experiences to audiences across the country.
Renowned singer, Seun Kuti, has made it clear that he wants no involvement in the ongoing dispute between his fellow artists, Burna Boy and Speed Darlington.
The conflict began after Speed Darlington accused Burna Boy of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with American music mogul, Diddy, as a means to secure a Grammy Award. The accusation led to Speed Darlington’s arrest, further fuelling the controversy.
During a recent Instagram live session, Seun Kuti addressed fans who tried to draw him into the drama. He stated that his acceptance of diamond jewellery from Burna Boy does not place him in the position of an advisor to the Grammy-winning artist.

“Don’t involve me in Burna Boy & Speed Darlington’s case; because I collected a diamond from him doesn’t mean I’m his close adviser,” Kuti said.
The Afrobeat singer went on to highlight the irony in the allegations, pointing out that Diddy, whom Speed Darlington accused Burna Boy of associating with, played a role in making Speed Darlington famous.
He explained, “Diddy was even the one who made Speed Darlington popular. He reposted ‘Bangdadang’ which made the song popular. I have done a lot of songs, and Diddy never posted any of them, but he reposted Speed Darlington’s song.”
Seun Kuti’s remarks have since sparked discussions among fans and followers of the ongoing saga, as the fallout between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington continues to unfold.
Nigerian content creator, Denilson Igwe has raised doubts about his former collaborator Mark Angel’s recent claim of losing $3.7 million (approximately 6 billion naira) in forex trading.
Recall that in a heartfelt Instagram post, Mark Angel had described 2024 as the most challenging year of his life, revealing that a significant loss in forex trading had left him devastated. His revelation drew widespread sympathy from fans and followers, with many expressing support for the popular skitmaker.

However, Denilson Igwe, who has previously accused Mark Angel of financial misconduct, has hinted that the claims might be untrue. Responding via Instagram, Igwe wrote, “Lies na water. Some people are just worst than the devil.”
The post reignited public interest in the duo’s rocky history. In 2024, Igwe had publicly accused Mark Angel of diverting the comedy team’s streaming revenues into personal accounts. According to Igwe, while Mark was allegedly earning millions from streaming platforms, he paid other team members paltry sums.
As reactions to the unfolding drama continue to pour in, fans are divided, with some questioning the authenticity of Mark Angel’s claims and others criticizing Igwe’s public approach to addressing the issue.
Neither Mark Angel nor his team has officially responded to Igwe’s latest remarks.
