Edo state APC governorship candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, denies pouring acid on a student during his undergraduate days in UNIBEN
Edo state governor has denied the allegation he bathed a student with acid as an undergraduate at the University of Benin.
Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Edo state governorship political decision, has denied the claim he bathed a student with acid as an undergraduate at the University of Benin.
In 2016 during the state governorship political decision, the previous legislative head of the state, Adams Oshiomole, had asserted that Ize-Iyamu, who was the applicant of the Peoples Democratic Party in that political decision, poured acid on a student. Oshiomole of the APC was battling for Godwin Obaseki when he offered the expression. Oshiomole criticized Ize-Iyamu and gave the state inhabitants reasons why he is unfit to be chosen as governor.
Oshiomhole and Obaseki started having issues with one another and accordingly self-destructed, compelling Obaseki's abandonment to the PDP in 2020.
Ize-Iyamu who was in PDP, is currently an individual from APC and Oshiomole's blessed contender for the state governorship political decision booked for September 19 2020. As the political decision moves nearer, a few legislators have drawn out the battle video in which Oshiomole blamed Ize-Iyamu for washing an understudy with corrosive.
Ize-Iyamu in an online TV program today July 5, denied the claim. Sorting the records out, the legislator said
"At the point when I was in college, I was a member of the Pyrates Confraternity. Around then, we didn't take a gander at it as a faction game plan yet a few people were at that point coming in with propensities to make issues. We had this confrontational group and one night, someone answered to us that they beat up a final year student who was likewise near us and they mentioned the names of those included, and we said no, this is terrible.
Don't likewise overlook too that I was an understudies' association chief, extremely conspicuous in the understudies' association congress. Along these lines, I and a few people who found out about this grumbling said we should take a quick trip and see the individuals concerned and talk with them.
We went there and met with the individuals concerned. They opened the entryway for us and we were examining the issue under an extremely agreeable air just for certain individuals to come in and before we knew it, there was smoke in the entire spot and someone yelled corrosive and was shouting. It was then I understood that someone has poured corrosive on someone and I immediately hurried to the security post. I acquired them and we took the youngster to get emergency treatment.
Obviously, the school set up a request, and the individual that was influenced conceded that I was the person who brought security specialists and that I had the option to take him in for clinical consideration. I asked who poured it? He said he realized the face yet didn't have the foggiest idea about his name and no one seemed to know the name and the college said since you individuals would prefer also the name, we are going to endorse every one of you. Before we knew it, they expelled us.
They gave because they removed us for having a place with a prohibited association. In any case, the bottom line is that we were on it for a long time till 1986 when the Senate held a gathering and said these folks have been rebuffed enough, that on the off chance that you take a gander at the records, they were not the one that committed what occurred, along these lines, we were called back to, graduated and afterward went to the Law School."

Russia‑Ukraine War: Key Events on Day 1,417
After more than 1,400 days of war, the Russia‑Ukraine conflict continues to dominate global headlines. Day 1,417, corresponding to January 11, 2026, offered a snapshot of a war that has become protracted, devastating, and highly complex. From intense fighting in eastern Ukraine to missile attacks, diplomacy, and economic pressures, the conflict shows no signs of letting up. Here’s a breakdown of the key events from Day 1,417, presented in a way that makes sense for anyone trying to follow this long-running crisis. A Violent Day on the Frontlines Even four years into the conflict, the fighting is far from over. On Day 1,417: Russian forces conducted artillery and drone attacks in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, killing a civilian and injuring several others. Shelling in the Kramatorsk district of Donetsk resulted in further casualties. Additional attacks targeted towns such as Yarova, Kostyanynivka, and Sloviansk, highlighting the persistent intensity of fighting across eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian General Staff reported over 130 combat clashes, with 33 air strikes and thousands of drones deployed across the frontlines. These numbers reflect that, despite international calls for peace, both sides remain heavily engaged in combat. Missiles, Drone Strikes, and Infrastructure Damage The war is no longer just about soldiers on the ground. Long-range weapons and drones have become central to the conflict: Russian forces launched a hypersonic Oreshnik missile targeting western Ukraine, a move that signals both military escalation and a warning to NATO countries. Missile and drone attacks disrupted heating and electricity in parts of Kyiv, affecting thousands of homes during the cold winter months. Ukraine responded by striking Russian facilities, including an oil depot in Volgograd, attempting to disrupt Moscow’s military logistics. Both sides are now capable of hitting deep into each other’s territories, showing how the war has evolved into a modern, technologically driven conflict. Diplomatic Tensions Continue While the bullets fly, diplomacy has not disappeared: The UN Security Council scheduled an emergency session to address Russia’s missile deployment near the Polish border—a move Ukraine and its allies see as highly provocative. Ukrainian officials publicly condemned Russian attacks, calling them a violation of international law. Russia, meanwhile, dismissed Western criticism, framing NATO’s support for Ukraine as a provocation and reiterating its territorial claims. These developments demonstrate that, even after nearly four years, diplomatic channels are strained but remain crucial, particularly as both sides attempt to manage the war’s global implications. Economic Pressure and Sanctions The war is also being fought in economic terms: Ukraine has expanded sanctions targeting Russian oil exports, aiming to weaken the Kremlin’s ability to sustain its military operations. The United States and EU countries continue to pressure third-party nations that maintain energy deals with Russia, highlighting how economic measures have become a key battlefield. Russian energy exports, especially refined fuel, have seen fluctuations, indicating how sanctions and war-related disruptions continue to impact global markets. The economic front underscores that the conflict extends far beyond the battlefield. Every missile, drone strike, and artillery shell has economic consequences for civilians and governments alike. The Human Cost of Day 1,417 Amid the statistics and military reports, the human toll remains staggering: Civilians in eastern Ukraine continue to suffer from shelling, loss of basic utilities, and displacement. Many towns remain inaccessible due to ongoing combat, leaving residents isolated and vulnerable. Winter conditions exacerbate hardships, especially as heating, electricity, and medical services are disrupted. Even after years of fighting, the war continues to impact ordinary lives more than any government statement or military report can convey. Why Day 1,417 Matters While one day may seem small in a war that has lasted nearly four years, Day 1,417 illustrates several key truths: The fighting is relentless. Despite international pressure, both sides remain committed to offensive operations. Technology dominates modern warfare. Drones, hypersonic missiles, and electronic warfare define the battlefield as much as ground troops do. Diplomacy is alive but strained. Global bodies like the UN still intervene, though meaningful peace talks remain elusive. Economic measures are now strategic weapons. Sanctions and energy disruptions affect the war’s trajectory and global markets. Each day adds another layer of complexity, another set of casualties, and another reminder that the war is far from over. Looking Ahead: What Comes Next With the frontline largely frozen but punctuated by periodic escalation, the outlook for the coming months remains uncertain: Ukraine will continue defending its territory while relying on international aid and sanctions to weaken Russia’s offensive capabilities. Russia will maintain aggressive tactics, testing Ukrainian defenses while signaling its influence to NATO and European countries. The global community faces difficult decisions, balancing humanitarian support, sanctions enforcement, and the risk of escalation beyond Ukraine. Day 1,417 serves as a snapshot of the ongoing struggle for power, survival, and sovereignty. The war has become a long-term conflict with global consequences, affecting politics, economics, and millions of civilians caught in the crossfire. Conclusion The Russia‑Ukraine war is no longer a short-term crisis—it’s a protracted conflict that has redefined modern warfare. Day 1,417 illustrates how fighting, diplomacy, and economic pressures are intertwined, and why the war’s outcome remains uncertain. While soldiers clash on the frontlines and leaders argue in global capitals, civilians bear the heaviest burden. Every day adds to the story of resilience, loss, and hope for a peaceful resolution. For those trying to follow the war, keeping track of daily events—like Day 1,417—helps make sense of a conflict that affects the entire world. And though the war rages on, the lessons from each day continue to shape the future of Ukraine, Russia, and international security.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
