Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has declared three-day mourning and prayers in honour of the late Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Temitayo Oluwatuyi.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the SSG died on Saturday while receiving treatment in the hospital after a car accident.
Aiyedatiwa made the declaration on Sunday in Akure when he led members of the State Executive Council (SEC) on a condolence visit to the wife and family of the deceased.
According to the governor, Oluwatuyi was a recurring decimal in the politics and governance of Ondo State.
“The history of the state will not be complete without a mention of his impact.
“A three-day mourning and prayer, from Sunday, 5th to Tuesday, 7th January, is declared in honour of the late SSG.
“The late Secretary to the Government of Ondo State, Hon. Temitayo Oluwatuyi, lived a fulfilled life and made positive impacts on many people,” Aiyedatiwa said.
The governor, who also spoke with the children of the deceased based outside the country via video call, extolled the virtues of Oluwatuyi.
He described him as a complete gentleman who conducted his public and private life with decorum and humility.
Aiyedatiwa prayed for the repose of the deceased soul, and promised the support of the government for the family.
“Hon Tayo Oluwatuyi, you came, you lived, you performed your God-given tasks and impacted lives.
“You have decided to leave us at a time we never expected, but God said it is time to come home.
“May you have rest at the bossom of your creator, God. Amen,” the governor wrote in the condolence register.
Meanwhile, Pastor Ayoade Babalola, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Infrastructure, led the team in a special prayer for the family, Akure community and the state. (NAN)

My Husband wants to have s3x with me eight times everynight – Housewife cries for help

The case was heard at the Harare Civil Court before Magistrate Judith Taruvinga, where Melocia detailed the severity of her ordeal. She told the court that her husband had coerced her into sexual activity up to eight times a night, resorting to violence whenever she refused.

“He wants to have s3x every day and wakes me up in the middle of the night, even after we’ve been intimate countless times on the same day,” Melocia stated.

She further described how the abuse extended beyond physical coercion, with George allegedly threatening divorce and verbally assaulting her in front of their children.

“He has been assaulting me in front of our children, shouting obscenities and telling them I don’t deserve to be called their mother,” she added, highlighting the emotional toll the behaviour has taken on her and the family.

In response, George acknowledged his actions, apologising to his wife and attributing his conduct to love. “I did not realise I was making her uncomfortable. I apologise and promise not to physically abuse her anymore,” he told the court.

After hearing both sides, Magistrate Taruvinga granted Melocia a protection order, legally preventing her husband from further abuse and ensuring her safety.

Scores of terrorists neutralised after Major attacks on military base

Nigerian troops have successfully neutralised several terrorists and thwarted coordinated attacks in Adamawa and Borno States.

The Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai, announced that the successes followed swift and decisive responses by soldiers to attempts by insurgents to overrun military formations in the North-East.

In a statement issued on Friday, Acting Media Information Officer of the Task Force, Lieutenant Solomon Atokolo, confirmed that the operations resulted in heavy casualties for the terrorists.

He explained that the first attack took place in the early hours of January 16, 2026, when insurgents targeted a patrol base at Sabon Gari in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

Atokolo stated that troops under Sector 4 of Operation Hadin Kai quickly engaged the attackers and successfully repelled them. He added that reinforcements from Gulak and the Battalion Quick Reaction Force were promptly mobilised to support the operation, ensuring that the assault was decisively crushed.

“The terrorists were successfully repelled without any casualty to our troops or damage to equipment, forcing them to abandon the attack,” the statement said.

He added that security forces later carried out clearance operations in the surrounding area, scanning for improvised explosive devices and booby traps to guarantee the safety of both civilians and personnel.

In a separate incident on the same day, terrorists staged a large-scale, multi-directional attack on Forward Operating Base (FOB) Azir in Borno State.

The attackers attempted to breach the base’s defensive perimeter but were met with fierce resistance from troops. With support from the Air Component and other Nigerian Army aerial platforms, the soldiers unleashed sustained firepower that compelled the insurgents to retreat.

Although rocket-propelled grenade fire from the terrorists damaged some troop-carrying vehicles and partially affected the base’s CCTV control room, Atokolo said troops maintained full control of the situation and prevented any further breach.

The military spokesperson disclosed that several weapons and ammunition were recovered from the fleeing terrorists.

Items seized included a 60mm mortar tube, mortar bombs, locally fabricated explosives, heavy machine gun rounds, and hundreds of rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition.

The Joint Task Force commended the professionalism and resilience of the troops, reaffirming its commitment to sustaining operations aimed at restoring lasting peace and security to the North-East region.
