The 'sex tape' about Runtown is a desperate attempt to spoil our name - Eric Many GM, Johnson Adumike

Earlier today, a sex tape allegedly showing Runtown and an unknown lady was released on line by an instagram page (@boss_l.a.s). The story was released along with a fake chat showing the name of Eric Many record label boss.

Johnson Adumike the General Manager of Eric Many has however reacted to the viral report describing it as 'fake' and 'childish'.

In a statement released by Johnson on behalf of Eric Many, 'at first glance, you'll realize that the Instagram page in question obviously belongs to a social media influencer. How else do you explain a page of someone in the entertainment industry with over 11k followers and 7 posts with no known affiliation. The Whatsapp chat that accompanied the story is also fake'.

The statement continues to say, 'what we (Eric Many) have done as a respected entertainment company is to put out fact with legal documents and backings, we will not be drawn into a childish charade and drag ourselves in the mud with whoever is behind this fake news. We maintain that we have no sex tape of Runtown and the alleged Whatsapp chat is fake. We have a Federal High Court Injunction, we do not  need to resort to blackmail as we solely rely on the legal system and will update the public as the legal proceedings move'.

Nigerian Navy discovers Illegal refineries with 4m per-day capacity in Rivers State

Nigerian Navy reveal that it has discovered six new illegal refineries with combined capacity to refine four million litres of crude oil daily in Alakiri, Asari Toru Local Government Area of Rivers.  

Capt. Victor Choji, Executive Officer of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Pathfinder Port Harcourt, disclosed this while destroying one of the illegal refineries on Thursday in Alakiri, Asari-Toru.  

“The refinery (in Alakiri) has capacity to produce one million litres of refined petroleum products daily, while the five other refineries have production-capacity of three million litres daily,” he said. Choji said the refineries were discovered through intensive intelligence gathering and undercover operations by naval troops.  

He said the navy deployed Swam Buggy machines to crush the metallic storages and its pipelines to make it impossible for operators of the refineries to rehabilitate the facilities. “This operation is focused on hitting the very heart of their infrastructure, so that the operators do not have capacity to regroup and resume their illicit activities. We realised that whenever we set ablase the refineries without the use of Swam Buggy machine, days after our troops leave the scene, the oil thieves return and revive the refineries. So, the Navy came up with this strategy to ensure that the pipeline network and metallic storages at the illegal facility are completely crushed".  

The executive officer said the swam buggy approach was also adopted to address health concern raised by residents over carbon emissions (black soot) in the atmosphere in the state and environs.  

He said that the strategy had led to significant reduction of soot in the atmosphere while also improving aquatic life in the maritime environment. “We started siphoning petroleum products first before destroying the illegal refineries as part of measures to eliminate soot in the atmosphere. After siphoning the product, it is then taken out of the area and handed over to authorities for testing and analysis,” he said.  

Choji said it would take troops about seven days to move the petroleum products and destroy the six illegal refineries.

'He should use another means of transportation such as the helicopter' - Throwback to what Lai Mohammed said when GEJ visited Lagos 5years ago

Today, President Buhari began his two day working visit to Lagos and the city has witnessed an almost complete shutdown of businesses and vehicular movement.

Lai Mohammed who is the current minister of information and culture was the opposition voice 5years ago when Goodluck Jonathan was president and he had quite alot to say about Jonathan's Lagos visits that caused similar traffic gridlock...

Below his what Lai Mohammed said 5 years ago as reported by TheNation on April 18, 2013!
 

The ACN’s requests were contained in a letter written by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, to Governor Babatunde Fashola on the President’s visit.

He said: “We have been compelled to write a letter to the Lagos State governor asking him to please prevail on the President to reschedule his visit. But if his visit must go on, he should use another means of transportation such as the helicopter so that the whole town is not locked up.

Anytime Mr President is coming to Lagos, our roads are closed, and traffic congestion is at its highest. The whole city is shut down for the entire day. You can imagine when we’re expecting about 10,000 people from different parts of Nigeria to our convention, all heading for the same place. It’s going to be chaos. So, we’re appealing to Mr President, through the Governor, to please reconsider his visit. And if he must come, he should inflict the minimum pain and hardship on Nigerians.”
