Suspected fraudsters disguising as assassins have threatened to eliminate the Founder of Penpushing Media, Dimeji Kayode-Adedeji, with an option to spare him if he could cough out N20million as saving grace.

‘The person is your close associate, who told us he had issues with you, but can you keep it to yourself if we reveal the identity, which we shall do that after payment of the N20 million’, the suspects said.
When the journalist told them he has no such amount, the gang said they would reduce the amount to N500, 000, and after telling them he could also not afford such an amount, the suspects further reduced it to N150, 000.
The journalist again told them that he could not also raise the N150,000 immediately, and that he had N10,000 as at the time of the conversation, the gang said he should send the N10, 000, as part-payment, and immediately they provided an access bank account with number 0002884692 with the name *Aminu Adamu*.
Meanwhile, the journalist, however, said he has informed the police of the development adding that as at the time of filing this report police authorities have commenced investigation into the matter.

Trending wrongly: Renaming of military institutions, public infrastructure after PBAT by Dr Moses Paul - ITREALMS
It is profoundly disappointing to witness the alarming trend of naming public institutions, infrastructure, and military facilities after a sitting president. This act runs counter to established principles of honor, service, and public morality. The recent decisions to name critical institutions after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, including barracks, airports, and other facilities, reflect a troubling disregard for historical preservation, respect for our fallen heroes, and the collective legacy of the Nigerian people.The renaming of a military barracks in Asokoro after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is particularly egregious. Military barracks are not mere structures; they are sanctuaries of sacrifice, discipline, and service to the nation. Naming such an institution after a sitting president, while Nigeria has countless soldiers who paid the ultimate price for our security, is a direct affront to their memory. It disregards the values of humility and honor associated with the armed forces and diminishes the legacy of those whose selfless acts secured our freedom.
