True to the predictions of many political analysts, the Disciplinary Committee set up by the All Progressives Congress APC to examine a petition against the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Timi Frank, Thursday submitted its report, recommending the suspension and subsequent expulsion of Mr Frank from the party.

The Solomon Edoja-led five man committee was recently constituted by the South South zonal vice chairman of the party, Hilliard Etta to investigate a petition written by a member of the party from Akwa Ibom state, Mr Aniekan Akpabio. The petitioner had accused Mr Frank of making disparaging comments against the party in the media.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has warned President Muhammadu Buhari about a “gathering cloud of crisis” if an end is not brought to the abduction and eventual marriage of young Christian girls to traditional rulers and Emirs in the North.

The executive committee of CAN in the North said this when they visited the President on Thursday.
