SHOCK IN DEMSA: Council Chairman Accused of Ordering Blogger’s Arrest

Reports reaching OrionTimes from Demsa, Adamawa State, indicate that Innocent Godiya, the administrator of the popular Facebook page Adamawa Gist, has been arrested under controversial circumstances.

According to sources, the arrest did not follow due legal process and is being described by many as an abduction allegedly ordered by the Demsa Local Government Chairman.

Report gathered indicted that Godiya was hurriedly taken before a court and subsequently remanded in prison without legal representation, raising questions about the integrity of the process.

The development has sparked outrage among residents, activists, and members of the online community, who argue that this is not only an assault on one individual but a dangerous precedent that threatens justice, fairness, and press freedom in Adamawa State.

Prominent media influencers and bloggers across the state have condemned the action, warning that silencing dissent through intimidation is a slippery slope towards authoritarianism.

At the time of filing this report, details remain sketchy. However, the incident has already ignited widespread conversations both online and offline, with growing calls for transparency, accountability, and the immediate release of Innocent Godiya.

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...
