Akanni

Ekiti State House of  Assembly, yesterday said it has instructed its counsel to sue the  Department of State Security Service over what it termed “the  undemocratic, unpatriotic, dictatorial and brutish” incarceration of one  of its members, Mr Afolabi Akanni, by the Department of State Services,  DSS, for 18 days with neither explanation nor trial in court.


 The lawmaker, who was  arrested on March 4, was released on Tuesday, but information available  to newsmen confirmed that he is yet to reunite with his colleagues  because of his poor health.  At a press conference in Ado Ekiti, the Speaker of the Assembly, Hon.  Kola Oluwawole, carpeted the DSS for not officially notifying the  Assembly that Akanni has been released and taken to the hospital,  describing this as an affront on the Assembly and the people of the  state who voted them into their respective offices.  He declared that the Assembly will claim damages for the brutish and  illegal way the DSS had dealt with the lawmaker .

Following the backlash that trailed her performance at Shatta Wale's Reign Concert over the weekend, Ghanaian singer,  Fantana  has now released a statement.  The singer stated that she is not ashamed of being a woman and also mesntruating. Her statement read in part;  "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating. "I want to urge every woman to resist being discriminated against because of menstruation. I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women. "Yes my menses appeared 30 minutes to my performance and I had to put on a sanitary pad and still go on stage. "Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
