By -

 

A driver of a taxi-hailing app, Bolt, Aiyu Eromosele Thomas, who was reported missing in February, has been found dead. 

 

The 34- year-old resident of  70 Imole Avenue, Ajasa Command, Lagos, was booked by an unidentified passenger. His vehicle, a Toyota Corolla with registration number GGE583GX grey color 2005/6 model, was found abandoned the following day. A police patrol team had discovered the vehicle abandoned by the roadside at Ojota, Lagos.

 

An elder Brother of the Uber driver,  Aiyu Etiose Godwin, who spoke with Daily Trust, said the matter was first reported at Meiran Police station before it was escalated to the headquarters of the state police Command.

 

 “He (the missing person) left his house for his commercial driving activities at about 7:30am of on the 1st of February 2023. He drives a Toyota corolla which he registered with Bolt Rider company for the taxi activity. When he did not return and his phone numbers did not go through, my mother that was staying in his house at the period, raised the alarm. 

The family’s effort to know his whereabouts proved abortive, hence we reported to Meiran divisional Police headquarters.  The Bolt Rider Company where he registered the car for the commercial use were contacted and the company provided the Police some information to aid in investigation.”

 

Confirming the vehicle was later found, he added

“On observation, the driver’s door sliding glass was broken and fluid suspected to be blood was seen on the right side of the driver’s seat. Around 14th of February 2023, the Meiran Police decided to transfer the case to a special unit under the CP at Lagos state Police Command Headquarter Ikeja, for further and advance investigation. The Police at the state Command promised the family that a thorough investigation would be carried out.  But as weeks rolled by and no information forth coming, my mother and the entire family were in Panic.”

The brother, however, pleaded with the Police, the CP and the units concerned “to please act on this investigation.”

However, it was gathered on Saturday that the driver’s corpse was found somewhere around Ketu.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.
