Jos Keke Rider Marks Speaker Dewan Gabriel’s Birthday with Free Fuel, Food Giveaway in Pankshin
A popular tricycle (Keke) rider in Jos, Bevuk Dokgak Ishaya, marked the birthday of the Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Dewan Kudangbena Gabriel, with a generous show of community support in Pankshin town.
To commemorate the Speaker’s special day, Bevuk provided free fuel to over 50 commercial motorcyclists and also bought out food from a local eatery frequently visited by the Speaker, distributing the meals to those present at the location.
Speaking on his motivation, Bevuk said the gesture was his way of celebrating the Speaker’s positive impact and urged beneficiaries to show appreciation through prayers.
“This is my little way of honoring the Speaker for his efforts. I want people to pray for him,” he said.
This is not the first time Bevuk has marked a public official’s birthday with such goodwill. In a similar move, he offered free tricycle rides to commuters in Jos to celebrate the birthday of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang. That gesture, he noted, was inspired by the Governor’s contributions to improving the transport sector.
Interestingly, both Bevuk and the Speaker hail from Wokkos District in Pankshin Local Government Area. He described Rt. Hon. Dewan as a youthful leader and role model whose leadership style and antecedents inspire him deeply.
Bevuk’s consistent acts of kindness have earned him recognition among locals, using his humble profession to show appreciation and foster community solidarity.
Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.
Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.
Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.
Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.
Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.
Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.
The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.
For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.
The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.
With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
