7 YEARS IN DARKNESS: Delta community cries out
On
By Paul Olayemi
RESIDENTS of Mosogar community, Ethiope West Local Government Area, Delta State, who have lived without electricity in the last seven years, have cried out that they were tired of frequently contributing money to officials of Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, to buy transformer, poles and cable wires, and yet no power.
Thousands of Mosogar inhabitants had in December, last year, in a protest against BEDC, laid siege to the busy Benin-Warri highway, causing massive gridlock to draw attention to their plight.
They said besides raising almost N20 million, including payment for outstanding bills with the 95 per cent of the bills, estimated bills, the community was still in darkness.

The General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries (Worldwide), Apostle Johnson Suleman, has apologised over his recent remarks on Covid-19, while telling his critics not to condemn some of his activities if they will not commend his good ones.
Apostle Suleman who has been in the eye of the storm over an allegation of adultery with the wife of one of his former pastors, however, apologised for his remark on COVID-19 which did not go down well with several of his fans across the globe.
The cleric had jokingly inferred that he was literally praying that COVID-19 should not subside during the lockdown in 2020 because of the unusual good time he was having with his wife and children at home.

A constitutional crisis might be brewing between the Senate and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over a directive to it by the upper chamber to restore two state constituencies in Delta State in what appeared to be new boundary delineations.
The Senate had last Tuesday approved the restoration of Ethiope West State Constituency (1) in Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State from the present Ethiope West State Constituency.
This was sequel to the adoption of a motion moved by the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, at plenary.
The development, however, came two months after the upper chamber had approved the restoration of Abraka State Constituency in Ethiope East Local Government Area from the present Ethiope East State Constituency.
