The Plateau State Local Council elections have finished, with Austin Nwachukwu and Okoro Uzoma Anthony, two Igbo candidates for councillorship, emerging victorious. 304 councillors-elect around the state, including Nwachukwu and Uzoma, received certificates of return from the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission on Monday. Abia State native Nwachukwu was chosen to represent Tafawa Bela Ward in the Jos North Local Government Area, while Imo State native Okoro was chosen to serve as a council member for Vanderpuye Ward in the same local government area. On the People's Democratic Party program, both were firmly established. As he presented the certificates at PLASIEC headquarters in Jos, the state capital, Plangji Cishak, the chairman of the commission, congratulated the newly elected council members on their success in last Wednesday's council elections. Nevertheless, the 21 ward elections yielded no clear winner, hence the council members representing those districts were not granted certificates of return. The PLASIEC chairman affirmed that on Saturday, October 19, a new election will be held in the impacted wards.

Superstar Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid is Accused of rape at Swedish hotel

Cynthia Okonkwo October 15, 2024 0

French sensation Kylian Mbappe, who plays for Real Madrid, has been charged with sexual harassment and rape at a hotel in Sweden. This happens soon after he called out a report of an alleged rape at the hotel where he was staying with friends last week, calling it "fake news." Following accusations against the Real Madrid player, Mbappe is reportedly the subject of a police investigation, according to the Swedish publication Expressen. Last Wednesday, the football player and his friends took a trip to Sweden, where they slept at the Bank Hotel in the heart of the city. Later on Friday, they departed the nation. The alleged rape is said to have happened on Thursday. That evening, Mbappe had gone to the Chez Jolie restaurant, then on to the V nightclub, and eventually, in a black van, he had returned to his hotel with his group. Mbappe posted a newspaper story on X about an alleged rape that occurred at the hotel, captioning it, "Fake News!" It's getting so cliched, happening almost by accident right before the hearing. Two days later, according to Expressen, a police report was submitted. Police are reportedly looking into a rape that may have occurred Thursday night at the central Stockholm hotel, according to the Swedish daily Aftonbladet. According to Aftonbladet, investigators and a forensic team were at the purported crime scene on Monday. The woman sought care at a nearby hospital, according to the publication, which raised the alarm about the alleged rape. On Friday, Mbappe departed in a private plane from the Bromma airport in Sweden. "I will not say anything about this," the prosecutor in charge of the rape probe told local media in response to a request for comment on the case. Spokesman Carina Skagerlind for the Stockholm police provided a similar reply to MailOnline, saying, "The police can neither confirm nor deny such a case." Aftonbladet reports that no suspects have yet been identified in this instance.
