Roseline chukwuma, Chaz B’s widow said she has forgiven the blogger who defamed her in a story title “Chaz B’s Widow in Sizzling Affair with Nollywood Actor, Daniel K.” The blogger with the link https://kemiashefonlovehaven.blogspot.com.ng/2016/10/retraction.html had begged Chaz’s B’s widow admitting that the story was untrue. The blogger said she regretted her unprofessional conduct.

In a retraction the blogger said “We hereby acknowledge a report posted on this blog on July 3, 2016 which reported a sizzling romance between Mrs. Roseline Chinyere Chukuma, the widow of the late famous broadcaster Chaz B, and Nollywood fast-rising star, Daniel Kanayo Daniel popularly known as DKD, that the well circulated story was an error, misleading and untrue.
This blog later discovered that it was misinformed as our sources’ claims could not be substantiated when it became necessary. Our mistake was a blind trust in the sources; and this we regret. Consequent upon the facts available as counter-claims provided by Mrs. Chukuma, we now realise the following:

• That Chaz B’s widow (Mrs. Chukuma) and Daniel Kanayo Daniel, DKD, have NEVER met. Therefore, the issue of visits to her house or seen together in public places could not have been true.
• That both of them were in Lagos during Valentine and not in Ghana as wrongly reported.
• That Mrs. Chukuma and her daughter, Monalisa, traveled for holiday in Ghana February 16, 2016, two days after Valentine.
• That the aspect concerning her in-laws and financial matters as earlier reported in the story could neither be confirmed nor substantiated as well.

In the light of aforementioned, her lawyer, Festus Keyamo Chambers wrote to us asking for a retraction, disclaimer and unreserved apology for the embarrassment and negative comments the story had brought on the public image of her client. Likewise, Mrs. Chukuma also petitioned the Police Area ‘M’ Command, Idimu, Lagos, against us over the same matter.

Consequent upon apparent inappropriateness of our unprofessional conduct and lapses in the publication of the story, we therefore tender UNRESERVED APOLOGY to all those mentioned in the story; in particular, Mrs Roseline Chinyere Chukuma, Chaz B’s widow.

For all the moral, psychological, emotional, health and financial losses Mrs. Chukuma might have suffered as a result of the story, we are indeed very sorry as we regret every inconvenience it has brought upon her relationships, business and image. This apology equally extends to the little Monalisa for being projected in the scandalous story innocently.

We wish to formally dissociate this blog from the story henceforth. This DISCLAIMER serves as a notice that anyone that further spreads, quotes or makes references to the story does so at his/her own risk. We are no longer responsible for the story henceforth. Bloggers, journalists and public please take note.”

Anxiety over the true position of President Muhammadu Buhari’s health heightened following the extension of his leave. Buhari was expected to return to Nigeria this week. Rather than returning, the President extended  his leave. There are mixed reactions over the extension. While some supported the President, others condemned the extension.

Kunle Ajibola an accountant said if the President is not fit to come back, there is need for the extension so that he can fully recover  before coming back ” There is no point for him to come back hastily, and travel out again.”

Paul Ikechukwu, a businessman told Scroll Report that the President should come back and continue treatment in Nigeria.” The government said  there will be no medical tourism for government officials.The country is suffering from it.

Wale Adeyemi- Suenu, Head of Department of History and International Studies and Secretary of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, LASU, chapter is facing a panel over illegal alteration of students results, amid tight security.

Scroll Report learnt that operatives from Directorate of State Security were at the university gate to check motorists  and pedestrains entering the campus. The reason is that the panel set up to investigate the allegation of illegal alteration  is sitting today. The security is to forestall any form  violence from either ASUU or students while the panel is sitting.

The panel was set up by the university authority to investigate the allegation that Suenu illegally altered students results at the end of second semester of last year.

A letter was given to Adewale-Suenu last month to appear before the panel within a very short notice. A member of ASUU  told Scroll Report that each time the panel sat, there was heavy presence of security and the proceedings are recorded.

He wondered why Adewale-Suenu case “is like this because a similar allegation was levelled against Adebola Ademeso, also a lecturer and a panel was set up to investigate him since last year up till now nothing has happened. In Ademeso’s case there were no security presence and there were no video recording. This must be an attempt to bring down ASUU.”He said

Scroll Report learnt that Ademeso allegedly altered a student’s results before it was uploaded. But in Adewale-Suenu case it is alleged that he illegally altered the students result after it was uploaded.

When lectures upload students results, and there are issues the students can complain to the Head of Department, HOD, if the complaints are true and genuine. For two days the HOD has the power to make alterations through what is called HOD’s window.

If there are further complaints the issue will be taken to the Dean of Faculty where he too can use the Dean’s window to effect corrections.

Scroll Report learnt that some lecturers use this opportunity to make illegal alterations.In the case of Adeyemi-Suenu, it is alleged that he made the illegal alteration on the result of student that did not complain officially.

The Data Processing Unit was said to have detected the alteration because it was Adeyemi-Suenu’s password that was allegedly used to make the illegal alteration.

All efforts made to talk to Adeyemi-Suenu and Ademeso proved abortive…

The police in Ondo state dispersed clashing law makers this morning in Ondo state. The clash which almost got out of hand would have led to distruption of peace in the state but the police quickly intervened to bring the situation under control by dispersing them.

The House of Assembly which ordinarily should be a place for lawmakers to meet and make laws to move the state forward was turned to a battlefield. It was free for all fight as a group of lawmakers interrupted the meeting that was going on by the faction supporting the suspended speaker Jumoke Akindele.

The two factions threw caution to the winds as they clash over the insistence of those opposed to Akindele, that the speaker had been suspended.How to restore peace to the House of Assembly is a major task before the police as the two factions are said to be aggrieved.
