The council chairman, in a statement issued on Sunday, alleged that Emorioloye was abducted by armed men who stormed his office in Igbokoda, the headquarters of the local government, on Thursday in two Hilux vans.

He said the victim’s whereabouts had remained unknown since the incident.

According to the statement, Oripenaye condemned the act and called on security agencies to take immediate action to ensure that the victim is released unhurt.

He said, “The Ilaje Local Government Council has received with profound shock and grave concern reports of the brazen abduction of Prince Emorioloye Owoloemi, a respected media and political figure in our community, widely known as Emotel and the DG of Asiwaju Media Team.

“The incident, which occurred at approximately 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 15th January, along the Okonga/Olodo Junction in Igbokoda, represents a flagrant violation of public safety and an assault on the peace-loving people of Ilaje.”

Citing eyewitness accounts, the statement said, “Prince Emorioloye was forcefully taken from his office by armed individuals who arrived in two Hilux vehicles.

“His current whereabouts remain unknown, and all efforts to reach him have proven futile. This act of criminality, carried out in broad daylight in a bustling commercial area, is utterly condemnable and unacceptable.”

The chairman condemned the act and warned against misinformation that could heighten tension or hinder investigative efforts.

“On behalf of the Ilaje Local Government, I strongly denounce this reprehensible act and extend our heartfelt solidarity to the family, friends, and associates of Prince Emorioloye Owoloemi during this distressing period.

“We also urge the public to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information that could heighten tension or hinder investigative efforts.”

The Ilaje council boss averred that the safety and security of every resident of the local government remained his top priority.

“We have immediately initiated contact with all relevant security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services, the Nigerian Army, and local security networks, to ensure a swift, coordinated, and decisive response,” he said.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Abayomi Jimoh, confirmed the incident and said investigations had commenced.

He appealed to residents of the local government to remain calm, assuring them that the command was making efforts to ensure adequate security of lives and property across the state.

“Information at my disposal remains sketchy, but a full-scale investigation has commenced. However, we urge the good people of Ondo State to remain calm.

“The command has put every measure on the ground to ensure the security of lives and property in the state,” the PPRO stated.

The forum, which brings together global political and business leaders, will hold from January 19 to 23, 2026.

Shettima arrived from Conakry, Guinea, where he represented President Bola Tinubu at the inauguration of President Mamadi Doumbouya on Friday.

According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, the VP was received on arrival by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar; the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole; and officials of the Nigerian mission in Switzerland.

This year’s forum marks a milestone in Nigeria’s participation at the annual gathering, with the Federal Government establishing a dedicated sovereign pavilion on the Davos Promenade for the first time.

The facility, called “Nigeria House Davos,” was established through a Public-Private Partnership.

It will serve as a hub for ministerial engagements, investment roundtables, and cultural diplomacy throughout the week.

The Vice President is expected to commission the facility during his visit.

Speaking to journalists after Shettima’s arrival, Oduwole said Nigeria would make a robust presentation of investment opportunities at the launch of Nigeria House.

“We will be showcasing four playbooks on President Tinubu’s efforts in re-engineering the Nigerian economy,” she said, adding, “We will present our solid minerals sector, climate sustainability, agriculture, and creative and digital sectors to investors from all over the world.”

According to Nkwocha, Shettima will present Nigeria’s 2026 economic outlook to global leaders during the forum.

He will also participate in plenary sessions focusing on the responsible deployment of Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology.

The Vice President is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with heads of state, executives from multinational corporations, and leaders of international development finance institutions throughout the week.

The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos attracts thousands of participants, including heads of government, chief executives, civil society leaders, and journalists.

The 2026 edition is expected to focus on global economic challenges, technological innovation, and climate action.

When people talk about the world’s wealthiest figures, the focus normally falls on today’s billionaires. Elon Musk is often described as the richest man alive, and Donald Trump’s fortune has surged again in recent years. Vladimir Putin is also believed by many experts to be one of the richest individuals on the planet. But even when all three fortunes are added together, they still fall far short of one woman who lived more than 1,300 years ago.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

Her wealth was so massive that no modern business leader or political figure comes anywhere close. Historians say she controlled more money and resources than any individual in recorded history. But before revealing who she was, it’s worth looking at the people she is being compared to.
Elon Musk recently became the first person ever valued at more than $600 billion.

According to Forbes, Trump’s net worth currently stands at around $7.3 billion.

Musk’s fortune has risen sharply too in recent years. His stake in SpaceX helped push his estimated wealth to $677 billion, making him the first person ever valued at more than $600 billion.

Putin’s official income tells a very different story. The Kremlin lists his annual salary at just $140,000, along with modest assets such as an 800-square-foot apartment and three cars.

But many analysts say this does not reflect his real net worth at all. Financier Bill Browder, once the largest foreign investor in Russia, has estimated that Putin’s true wealth could be as high as $200 billion.

He told the US Senate Judiciary Committee in 2017 that Putin built this fortune by taking shares of assets from Russia’s oligarchs after political crackdowns.

Yet even these enormous sums are tiny compared with the wealth of Empress Wu Zetian, the first and only female emperor in China’s history.

According to the South China Morning Post, her personal fortune in today’s value would equal around £12 trillion.

During her rule in the Tang Dynasty, China controlled roughly 23% of the world’s entire economy.

Wu Zetian was born in 624AD into a well-connected family in Shanxi Province. She entered the imperial palace at age 14 and later rose to prominence under Emperor Gaozong.

She then declared herself emperor in 690 AD and ruled China directly for 15 years.

Historians say that she ruled with an iron fist, but also led to multiple reforms in the country.

Many historical accounts mention political purges and brutal tactics, but she also strengthened the civil service, promoted education and implemented changes that boosted China’s economy.

By the time of her death in 705AD at the age of 81, she became the richest woman the world has ever seen to this day.

And even combining the estimated fortunes of Musk, Trump and Putin still leaves a gap of more than £11 trillion.
