A 36-year-old man, Emmanuel Egana Jimmy, who was declared missing in Jos, Plateau State, has been found.

Jimmy was last seen on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, while heading home from Bauchi Road in Jos.

A family source, who confirmed the latest development to Tudun Wada Broadcast on Monday, January 2, 2023, said Jimmy was abducted and taken to Kaduna State.

According to the source, Jimmy was found and rescued somewhere in Kaduna moments after he managed to escape from his abductors’ den.

“He came back with ritual stuff on his body, it is as though they were in the process of whatever means of ritual rite before he escaped… he lost his way in the bush but was rescued by military men,” the source said.

“He was traumatised when he got home and could barely say more than three words ‘don’t kill me’.

The Director General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Dr Ifedayo Adetifa, has said that the travel restrictions instituted earlier by the federal government to curb the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, had no public health benefit.

Adetifa in a statement released on Sunday night January 1, said the Nigerian population is significantly protected from a combination of natural infection and vaccination.

He maintained that the travel restrictions impacted negatively on individuals and businesses.

The NCDC DG also added that the National Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) of the agency would continue to review the ongoing COVID-19 situation “over the coming week.”

The statement read;

“Recent experience in Nigeria with the arrival of omicron showed travel restrictions did not have any public health benefits but were disruptive for persons and businesses. COVID-19 has and continues to follow a different course (epidemiology in Nigeria and most of Africa).“At the next review and if deemed necessary, a range of actions, not limited to enhanced surveillance of travellers at airports, may be implemented.

“We advise Nigerians to make use of every opportunity the Federal Government has provided via the @NphcdaNG to get vaccinated i.e., receive your primary vaccination which can be two or a single vaccine dose. If you have received two vaccine doses already, go get your booster.

“If you have received one booster dose already, please go get your second booster dose. If you belong in any of the high-risk categories (old age, etc), kindly ensure you adhere to recommended public health safety measures – mask use, hand hygiene and avoiding crowded spaces.”

Daddy Freeze has reacted to a post made by a lady who boasted that she stood out in the midst of other women because she wore no makeup and was decently dressed.

The lady wrote that all eyes were on her, not on the ladies who “pancaked their faces”, at an event she attended.

She then advised women to embrace their natural beauty and dress decently.

Reacting, Daddy Freeze told her that she is ignorant and just chasing clout.

He then asked her if Igbo women in the precolonial era who went topless were indecent.

He added that Mary, mother of Christ, most likely wore makeup and had a big nose ring.
