Naija News reports that the postponement was announced on Monday by the Commissioner for Education, Dr Paddy Iyamu, who said the decision was taken to allow the state government to address pressing exigencies and improve the welfare and safety of pupils.

In a statement, Iyamu said the suspension of resumption would remain in force until further notice.

“The postponement is till further notice to enable the state to address some exigencies to improve the welfare of the pupils.
The new date of resumption will be duly communicated to the public in due course,” he said.

He urged parents, guardians and other education stakeholders within Edo Central Senatorial District to take note of the development and comply accordingly.

“Parents, guardians, and all education stakeholders within Edo Central Senatorial District are kindly requested to take note of this development and comply accordingly,” the commissioner added.

Naija News understands that Edo Central has been thrown into tension following a crisis that erupted on Saturday after a peaceful protest against insecurity turned violent in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area.

Residents had staged the protest to express concerns over rising cases of kidnapping and the killing of a youth on Friday night. During the protest, demonstrators blocked a major highway to draw attention to their grievances.

However, the demonstration was later hijacked by hoodlums who attacked traders at the livestock market. Eyewitnesses said goats were slaughtered and cows beaten, scenes that were later captured in a viral video that circulated widely on social media.

The attackers were also reported to have vandalised the palace of the Onojie of Ekpoma, Zaiki Anthony Abumere II, an action that drew condemnation from Governor Monday Okpebholo.

Confirming developments, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Eno Ikoedem, said one person was shot by a soldier during the unrest.

He added that the incident had been referred to military authorities for further investigation.

The violence caused panic in the area, forcing residents and traders to flee, while security agencies were later deployed to restore calm.

As tension continues to linger in the affected communities, the state government said the suspension of school resumption was a precautionary measure aimed at ensuring the safety of students, teachers and school administrators.

BREAKING NEWS: Finally “Wike has been defeated”- Rochas reacts to withdrawal of impeachment notice by Rivers Assembly

Published

on

A political analyst, Arc Uche Rochas, has sharply criticised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, following fresh developments at the Rivers State House of Assembly.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

The reaction came after some lawmakers called for the withdrawal of the impeachment notice against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, signalling a possible shift in the political tension.
Lawmakers appeal for calm

In a viral video, Hon. Sylvanus Enyinna Nwankwo, the Assembly’s Minority Leader, alongside Hon. Peter Abbey, appealed to fellow legislators to exercise restraint during the impeachment process.

Both lawmakers urged their colleagues to prioritise peace, dialogue, and the overall interest of Rivers State rather than personal or political gains.

They stressed that wisdom, truth, and justice should guide all actions, expressing confidence that all parties would eventually reflect and choose a peaceful path.
Wike’s exit and Rochas’ reaction

The appeal came less than 24 hours after reports emerged that Nyesom Wike had returned to Abuja from Rivers State.

The FCT minister was alleged to have influenced the impeachment move against Governor Fubara, an allegation that has continued to generate debate.

Reacting to the development, Arc Uche Rochas declared that Wike had suffered a political setback.

He wrote, “The Supreme Leader of Rivers State, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has been defeated. He played himself into a tight corner and has now lost it all.

“He has become an Usu 🦇, neither among the flying creatures nor among those who walk. Shame on him, and good riddance to bad nonsense.”

The unfolding events suggest a possible cooling of tensions, as political actors in the state call for reconciliation and stability.

“Why will you sing that kind of thing? Can kids sing it?” Catholic Priest questions gospel singer Chinyere Udoma over lyrics of her latest song....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

A Catholic Priest has criticised gospel singer Chinyere Udoma for the lyrics of her latest song.

The priest questioned why Chinyere used certain words in her song. He went on to ask her if children can sing the song.

He wrote: “Dear Chinyere Udoma, I love you so much Ma’am. Please oo, that ur song ‘IHE DI GI MMA’, are you going to sing it in Church? Kids fit sing am?”

“Why will you sing that kind of thing? Can kids sing it?” Catholic Priest questions gospel singer Chinyere Udoma over lyrics of her latest song


He added: “But wait, on a serious note, why you go sing that thing na. Why those words na?”

“Why will you sing that kind of thing? Can kids sing it?” Catholic Priest questions gospel singer Chinyere Udoma over lyrics of her latest song

In the song in question, Udoma sang: “My flesh wants me to f*rnicate. My flesh wants me to m@s+urbate. My flesh wants me to engage in h0mos£xuality. My flesh wants me to steal. But I don’t want to do what my flesh wants. Heaven is important to me. I don’t want to do what my flesh wants. God hold me.”

The priest’s post criticising the song has sparked mixed reactions.

Some pointed out that even the bible did not mince words when naming certain sins and children read those parts of the bible. So, they questioned why the priest should try to police the words used by Udoma in her song.

However, others agreed that Udoma could have passed her message across without being explicit.
