Seplat raises over $4bn to grow operations

Seplat Energy Plc, leading Nigerian independent energy company, has recorded unprecedented growth since it was founded by acquiring divested assets, unlocking value from them, improving efficiency and safety performance of the assets, whilst driving the entire growth process with a world-class and resilient people (workforce).

Similarly, the company stated that it had raised more than $4bn in debt to develop and grow operations whilst continuing to maintain a low leverage threshold of below 1.5x through the cycle.

Roger Brown, Chief Executive Officer, Seplat Energy Plc, who spoke at the 2025 Africa Energy Week (AEW) Conference and Exhibition in Cape Town, South Africa during a Fireside Chat titled ‘Assets Acquisition Success Strategies: Seplat Energy’, said the company has successfully integrated major acquisitions in the last decade, each time improving efficiency and safety performance, while at the same time reducing routine emissions.

It would be recalled that Seplat Energy Offshore Limited acquired the Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited.

Speaking on its most recent acquisition of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited assets, Brown said the goal had been to move quickly to re-engage wells and facilities – resulting in the delivery of immediate results; investing early in integrity and reliability – thus reducing downtime while setting a foundation for future growth; and integrating not isn’t just systems, but people.

‘We found strong cultural alignment with our new colleagues, and that’s been key to seamless performance. We’ve welcomed their expertise and insights and the entire Group is benefiting from them,’ Brown hinted.

According to the Seplat CEO, by combining Seplat’s onshore experience with decades of offshore know-how from new colleagues, the company has built a stronger operation from day one, which is already delivering higher cash flow.

‘The recent reserves upgrade shows we have acquired a high-quality asset with significant production potential in both oil and gas, and much of this is within easy reach, close to export infrastructure that we control. We are confident we can increase production and that aligns with the Government’s target to increase liquids production to 3.0 MMbbl, and to increase gas production for both domestic energy and export markets,’ he added.

Eleanor Adaralegbe, Chief Financial Officer, Seplat Energy Plc, who spoke during a panel discussion titled ‘Financing Upstream Projects for Domestic Energy Security’, said since inception, the company has continued to blaze the trail with a highly successful capital raising history.

According to him, the company had raised more than $4bn in debt to develop and grow operations whilst continuing to maintain a low leverage threshold of below 1.5x through the cycle.

On the various financing options the company had leveraged since inception, Adaralegbe identified the Initial Public Offer (IPO), Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), Bonds, Advance Payment Facility, as well as other financings like taking over the $110m RBL, which is currently being refinanced (on Eland acquisition of 2019; and putting in place a $320m project financing for ANOH, Seplat’s 50/50 JV with the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company (a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of NNPC).

Speaking on financing challenges and what Seplat Energy had done to overcome them, she said: ‘Corporates are always looking to access low-cost financing for development and growth, more so, Nigerian energy companies, as Nigerian banks have a high USD cost of borrowing. As such, we knew that we had to become a first mover and shape our credit profile to appeal to a wider group of banks and investors. We are the first and only dual listed Nigerian oil and gas company.’

Malinga happy to compete against daughter in NBL semis

The contest between JKL Lady Dolphins and UCU Lady Canons in the National Basketball League semifinals has several subplots.UCU is the most decorated women’s team with eight titles while JKL are the form team having won four of the last five championships on offer.The Lady Dolphins side also features several players who were part of the success at UCU, including Ritah Imanishimwe, Zainah Lokwameri and Agatha Kamwada.But none of those sub plots comes close to that of JKL head coach Henry Malinga going up against his daughter Zoe Atek.The Ugandan legend lost the first battle Wednesday night when the Lady Canons defeated JKL 57-46 at YMCA to take an early lead in the five-game series.His daughter played 27 minutes for a predominantly young UCU side and recorded eight points and three rebounds on the night.Atek and the Lady Canons were led by Shillah Lamunu, who recorded a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds in the victory.Team captain Hajara Najjuko scored 10 points and was the only other Lady Canon to reach double figures in the low-scoring encounter.Like father like daughterMalinga is not sure whether he inspired his daughter into the game but now finds himself in a situation where he wants her to excel for her team without necessarily eliminating his own.’I am glad she plays the game I love and always look forward to games like these,’ Malinga, the former Falcons and Warriors center, told Daily Monitor.Atek was part of the Junior Gazelles side that scaled heights in 2024 and has since moved from St. Noah Girls to UCU, where she is now of a new-look side that lost up to three starters from last season.Shakirah Nanvubya, Tracy Namugosa and Aziidah Nabayunga are some of the big names that left Mukono at the end of last season.’Her game has kept getting better, from high school to university,’ Malinga highlighted.’I believe she is still going through the process and only time will tell.’

Wednesday’s game was the third time Atek went up against JKL with UCU, she scored six points and picked seven rebounds in the 82-64 first round loss before contributing six points and five rebounds as the Lady Canons won 71-67 in the second round.Business timeThere is hardly any family time when the action tips off, with the 20-year old taking instructions from Nicholas Natuhereza and Malinga also focused on getting the best out of his side.The Lady Dolphins have all the talent required to win but must find a way of stopping the Lady Canons’ transition offense to level the series let alone progress to the finals.’It was a tough loss but we have to regroup and play better,’ Malinga noted.JKL struggled to get going on offence and only had Hope Akello, with 11 points and nine rebounds, scoring in double figures.Going 2-0 down in a best-of-five series would not be an ideal situation for the defending champions and that will set the tone for tonight’s Game Two.JT Lady Jaguars defeated Magic Stormers 63-37 in the first game and will be looking to stretch the series on Friday.National Basketball League PlayoffsSemifinalsGame One ResultsStormers 37-63 JT JKL 46-57 UCUPlaying Friday, YMCAJT vs. Stormers, 7pmUCU vs. JKL, 9pm

Doctor killed, 3 children missing as gunmen attack Abuja community

Gunmen, suspected to be kidnappers, have struck Kungabokun, a remote community located near Byazhin-Across on the outskirts of Kubwa, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The attackers, said to have arrived in the early hours of Thursday, repotedly killed a veterinary doctor, identified as Dr. Ifeanyi Ogbo, after forcing their way into his home.

Three of the victim’s children were initially missing and feared to have been abducted along with him.

The attack is coming days after the death of Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu, a presenter with ARISE News, during a robbery attack at her residence in Katampe, Abuja.

The FCT Police Commissioner, Ajao Adewale, confirmed that she died in the early hours of Monday after attempting to escape armed robbers by jumping from her third-floor apartment balcony

Speaking on the latest attack, the village head of the community, Ishaya Jagaba, told Abuja Metro, that the deceased’s remains were discovered by villagers while heading to their farms near a river just outside the village.

He noted that the victim had a gunshot injury near his armpit.

‘So, I immediately reported the matter to the police at the Byazhin division,’ the chief noted, adding that there were reports of gunshots in the night.

Also speaking, Rotimi Amos, a poultry farm owner next to the victim’s home, said after arriving at his farm in the morning, he discovered that the three children were missing, suspected to have been abducted by the gunmen.

He said residents had seen the victim’s wife leaving the area with her two-month-old newborn baby after the incident.

It is suspected that the doctor may have attempted to resist the abduction or possibly tried to run, which ultimately led to his killing by the attackers.

Our reporter, who later visited the Kubwa Police Area Command, sighted a team of policemen, including some Divisional Police Officers under the command, leaving in full uniform.

Our reporter also learnt that the police led by the Police Area Commander in Kubwa, Fatima Gimba, had earlier visited the community.

The Area Commander, however, declined to comment on the matter when contacted by our reporter yesterday, referring him to the FCT Police Command.

Several efforts to reach the spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command yielded no result as at press time as her number was not connecting.

Who’ll replace Dollo as next Chief Justice?

With the retirement of Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo approaching, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has advertised his position, which falls vacant on January 18, 2026. The 1995 Constitution provides that Justices of the Supreme Court and those of the Court of Appeal/Constitutional Court retire at 70 years, High Court judges at 65, and Registrars at 60. Chief Justice Owiny-Dollo turns 70 on January 18, 2026.

The advert by the JSC, the body mandated to recruit and discipline judicial officers, sets October 20 as the deadline for applications. It was signed by Dr Rose Nasaali, the Commission secretary.

Applicants for the top judicial position, the fourth highest in the country, are required to have at least 20 years of experience, be a justice of the Supreme Court or a court of similar jurisdiction, and have practiced as an advocate for not less than 20 years before a competent court in civil and criminal matters.

The Chief Justice heads the Judiciary, oversees the administration of the Supreme Court and all courts in the country, presides over Supreme Court sittings, and issues orders for the efficient administration of justice. As of June 1, the Supreme Court had 11 justices, the Court of Appeal/Constitutional Court 21, and the High Court 89 judges.

Candidates who previously contested alongside Justice Owiny-Dollo include former Deputy Chief Justice Richard Buteera, who retired after turning 70, and Justice Esther Kisaakye, who fled the country citing security concerns following friction with the Chief Justice over the Robert Kyagulanyi presidential election petition of 2021. Former Principal Judge Yorokamu Bamwine also retired upon turning 65.

Flavian Zeija

The current Deputy Chief Justice, Dr Zeija was elevated from Principal Judge in February. His rapid rise from High Court judge in 2016 to Principal Judge in 2019, and now Deputy Chief Justice, positions him as a likely candidate for the top post.

Mike Chibita

Justice Chibita, 62, is a Supreme Court judge. He graduated from Makerere University with a Bachelor of Laws in 1989 and completed the Bar Course in 1990. He holds a Master of Laws from the University of Iowa, USA.

Appointed to the High Court in 2010, Justice Chibita became Director of Public Prosecutions in 2015 until his Supreme Court appointment in 2019. In 2012, he conducted the re-trial of Masaka businessman Godfrey Kato Kajubi, accused of ritual murder of a 12-year-old, resulting in a life sentence.

Kiryowa Kiwanuka

Mr Kiryowa Kiwanuka, 53, is the current Attorney General and chief government legal adviser, a position he has held for five years. He is a founding partner of K and K Advocates with over 20 years of experience. Before his appointment, he led the firm in high-value commercial litigation.

His practice includes commercial and civil litigation, banking and finance, insolvency, arbitration, and energy law. He has served on boards including the Petroleum Authority of Uganda and the Makerere University Council.

Catherine Bamugemereire

Justice Bamugemereire began her career as a State Attorney in 1993, moved to the Judiciary as a Grade One Magistrate, then Chief Magistrate, and became a High Court judge in 2010. She served in the Anti-Corruption Court and Family Division before moving to the Court of Appeal/Constitutional Court, and was elevated to the Supreme Court last year.

She has chaired two commissions of inquiry into land matters and KCCA, which led to the controversial 2013 impeachment of Kampala’s Lord Mayor. Justice Bamugemereire holds a Bachelor of Laws from Makerere University and a Master in Comparative Law from Southern Methodist University, USA. She has also worked at Shell Mexico LPG and taught at the University of Surrey in the UK.

Christopher Izama Madrama

Justice Madrama, a Supreme Court judge appointed in October 2022, is considered a strong candidate due to his reputation for well-reasoned judgments rarely overturned. He has progressed steadily through judicial ranks.

The recruitment of the next Chief Justice will be the first test for the new Judicial Service Commission, now led by Justice Douglas Siginza, who replaced Justice Benjamin Kabiito after his two terms ended earlier this year. The President, who makes the final appointment, will choose from the list of candidates submitted by the JSC.

Fire Service CG to staff: Engage in job racketeering, get fired

The Controller General of the Federal Fire Service, Samuel Olumode Adeyemi, has vowed to reposition the service in line with global best practices.

The CG stated this during a working visit to the Metropolitan Fire Station in Kubwa, Abuja, on Thursday.

The visit, which included the inspection of Wuse Fire Station, was to strengthen operational readiness, improve service delivery, and engage with frontline officers to enhance fire safety and emergency response in the Federal Capital Territory.

Olumode warned that negligence or failure to discharge responsibilities by staff would not be tolerated.

‘Absenteeism and negligence of duty will not be tolerated. The Federal Fire Service should not be seen as fighting fire alone. Our work is to save lives and property.

‘We will provide ambulances so that people can take their families and loved ones to the hospital without any delay.

‘Many people are willing to join this job. Therefore, we should wear our badge and uniform with pride. Any staff found guilty of job racketeering will be dismissed.’

The Controller General said that he has mapped out the major challenges facing the service, saying each of them would be dealt with accordingly.

He stated, ‘We are working with relevant stakeholders to ease the structural challenges facing the service. I am determined to change the narratives at the Federal Fire Service.

‘When I came in, I made it clear that staff welfare is my priority. This will ensure effective service delivery. Firemen must be motivated to achieve our targeted goal. It is through this that they can put in their best,’ he said.

A daily tug of war between survival,sanity

They say life is short but in Kampala, traffic makes it feel much, much longer. A recent report revealed that we lose an average of 52 days every year stuck in traffic jam in Kampala. That is an equivalent of nearly two months of productivity wasted. And that’s before you add the frustration, anxiety, and emotional burnout that have become part of daily life on our roads.

The causes of this agony are no mystery i.e. a poor and overstretched road network, the slow pace of infrastructure development, outdated traffic management systems that still rely on traffic wardens rather than technology, and perhaps most visibly, indiscipline among road users. Anyone who has braved Kampala’s roads knows the chaos all too well. One morning at Wampewo Roundabout, I found myself in the middle of a police operation. Officers were stopping cars to check for unpaid EPS tickets, and permits, right at the roundabout. How can traffic flow when enforcement blocks the very arteries meant to keep the city moving! Sometimes, our methods seem to fuel the very indiscipline they are meant to stop.

Then there are boda bodas! It’s almost impossible to tell whether traffic laws apply to them or if they are the law. Their disregard for lanes, and signals has become so normal that even the police appear to have given up. Reports indicate that 70 percent of road crashes recorded annually in Uganda, involve boda bodas. Behind every statistic is a family grieving or drained by hospital bills.

Kampala traffic can be both stressful and strangely entertaining. Near misses, shouting matches, and daring manoeuvres play out daily like a live action drama. Taxi drivers with bull bars squeezing into impossible spaces, mocking private car drivers with their trademark, ‘which driving school did you go to?’ VIP convoys add another twist with sirens blaring, escorts jumping out to push traffic aside, sometimes even overruling traffic officers. For ordinary motorists, always remember to manage your fuel, lock the doors and ensure wind screens are high enough to protect your valuables. That is life on Kampala’s roads!

To be fair, government has made progress. With support from partners like the World Bank and JICA, Kampala is getting new signalised junctions, improved roads, and even a central traffic control centre. Projects like the Kampala Flyover and the expansion of the Northern Bypass are promising. The pressure intensifies during major events. The plot gets thicker as we step into the election period, with political party primaries and campaigns kicking off that draw huge numbers of delegates in different places within the city. For Kampala businesses, that means revenue. For road users, it means gridlock. The costs are borne by ordinary citizens rushing for medical emergencies, deadlines and schedules missed.

The losses go beyond frustration. Billions of shillings annually in wasted fuel, lost man hours, higher vehicle maintenance costs, and disrupted supply chains. According to the World Bank, congestion in African cities can shave up to 5 percent off GDP every year. That’s a cost Uganda cannot afford! The solutions are clear, and they call for better planning of road closures and diversions, switch from manual to smart traffic management systems and a return to discipline in every road use. Because until then, sitting in Kampala traffic will remain what it has always been. A daily tug of war between survival and sanity!

Health workers in Gombe get new salary structure

Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has approved the full implementation of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) and Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) salary structures for all health workers in the state.

He announced this on Thursday in Gombe, during the opening ceremony of a two-day Health Summit hosted by the state, and declared open by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

Governor Yahaya said the new salary structure was approved to strengthen the state’s commitment to the welfare of the health workers who power the healthcare system.

‘I am pleased to announce the immediate approval for the full implementation of CONMESS and CONHESS salary structures for all health workers, effective October 2025, making them at par with that of the federal government.

‘This significant intervention, at a financial cost of N250m or N3bn annually, is a direct investment in the welfare of our health workers,’ he said.

The governor, therefore, called on all health workers in the state to match the government’s commitment with renewed dedication, the highest standards of productivity, and an unwavering focus on contributing to the health and well-being of people.

Declaring the summit open, Senator Remi Tinubu said, ‘A healthy state is indeed a healthy nation. Health is not a choice, but a necessity.’

The first lady commended the governor’s decision to increase health workers’ salaries, saying it is a commendable step towards improving the healthcare workforce and delivery.

Also speaking at the event, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate, said the timing of the Gombe Health Summit is both strategic and timely.

He noted that Gombe State has made remarkable strides in the health sector since 2019, with a visible transformation that aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s health agenda.

‘Service delivery has increased, and primary healthcare has been strengthened across the state. A total of 114 Primary Health Centres (PHCs) have been revitalised recently, in partnership with the Federal Government,’ he added.

Pate said, ‘This summit presents an opportunity for stakeholders to learn from Gombe’s experience. The state’s continued investment in health, alongside federal support, is yielding positive outcomes.’

Uganda urged to fast-track AI policy amid surge in cybercrime

The Ugandan government has been urged to accelerate the development of a national Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy to guide investment, safeguard data, and protect citizens, as experts warn of rising cybercrime and mounting risks linked to disruptive technologies.

This call dominated discussions at the five-day 14th Annual East Africa Information Security Conference, hosted by the ISACA Kampala Chapter at Speke Resort Munyonyo, under the theme ‘Thriving in the Era of Disruptive Technology.’

ISACA, a global association of professionals in information systems, IT, cybersecurity, governance, data protection, and privacy, has been championing digital trust across the region.

Uganda, experts said, is at a crossroads: AI is reshaping finance, healthcare, education, and governance, yet cybercrime is spiraling at alarming rates.

‘Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used as a disruptive technology in the country and needs home-grown data solutions,’ Mr Maurice Taremwa, the president of ISACA Kampala, told journalists on Friday, October 4, 2025.

He warned that while AI brings innovation and efficiency, without a guiding framework, it risks exposing Uganda’s digital economy to vulnerabilities and foreign dependency.

Experts stressed that a national AI policy would not only unlock resources for local startups and innovation hubs but also ensure responsible deployment aligned with Uganda’s unique context and priorities.

Mr Taremwa revealed that Interpol reports show cybercrime in Uganda has risen by over 60% in the past year. He cited high-profile cases where financial institutions lost staggering sums-some cases involving UGX 100 billion (USD 25 million)-through digital fraud, misdirected funds, or system breaches.

‘The money is in the billions-that one is of no doubt; almost all our financial transactions are now digital, and because we live in an interconnected world, criminals are able to act much faster and impact much larger sums,’ Mr Taremwa said.

To guard against this, Mr Taremwa emphasised the three pillars of cybersecurity: confidentiality, which is ensuring sensitive information is accessed only by those authorised; Integrity: Protecting data from unauthorised alteration-Removing just one zero can reduce one million to one hundred thousand and Availability: Guaranteeing access to systems when needed-whether at a petrol station, a hospital, or a bank.

Ms Sharon Kisinde, the ISACA Kampala Board Secretary, highlighted that disruption extends beyond finance and AI. Sustainability and climate-linked projects are increasingly dependent on technology, requiring new approaches to information collection, processing, and security.

‘We are seeing renewable energy and green projects as new fronts of disruption,’ she said. ‘The underlying common factor is information. How we process it determines whether our systems are state-of-the-art and whether they meet the requirements for a better livelihood,’ she added.

She emphasised ethics and integrity in technology use, noting that ISACA’s membership is anchored in principles of confidentiality, integrity, and accountability.

Other speakers stressed the importance of equipping the population with digital literacy and cybersecurity skills.

Mr Bernard Wanyama, past president of ISACA Kampala, revealed efforts to introduce ICT training in schools and conduct awareness drives in the banking and education sectors. ‘Our strategy is to impact those who can support the wider population,’ he said. ‘We train teachers, students, and banking professionals because they are at the points of data collection.’

Mr Eric Sekiziyivu, ISACA Vice President, stressed the need to integrate AI into work sectors while paying attention to compliance: ‘We need to watch the regulator-what are they saying? ISACA will continue to certify more professionals in AI.’

Ms Agnes Lumala, Academic Registrar at UICT, pointed to the success of short courses in sparking student innovations.

Mr Njenga Kahiro of Cyber Security Africa urged for harmonized data protection laws across the EAC to strengthen regional resilience.

On behalf of Dr Amina Zawedde, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of ICT, Ambrose Ruyooka, the commissioner, reassured delegates that the government views ISACA Kampala as a key partner in building digital trust, setting standards, and skilling the workforce through partnerships with academia and industry.

Police detain 62-year-old suspected IPOB member in Anambra

The police command in Anambra State has detained a suspected member of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over alleged extortion and terrorism in Ihiala Local Government Area of the state.

The 62-year-old male suspect was also an informant of the group and in charge of an extortion network operating in the area.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Awka.

He said that operatives of the command attached to the Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu, on Oct. 1, arrested the suspect and alleged informant of a secessionist group.

According to him, the suspect was also anchoring a major extortion network operating in parts of Ihiala Local Government Area of the state.

‘Preliminary information reveals that the suspect is in charge of illegal levies on traders in Isseke and Orsumoghu communities, collecting N10,000 and above monthly from each trader.

‘He is also extorting N100,000 and above from families conducting burial ceremonies before the occasion or any such related event in the area,’ he said.

He said that the illicit proceeds were allegedly remitted to his commander in a terrorist camp.

Ikenga said that the suspect is in custody and further investigation is ongoing.

The police spokesman quoted the Commissioner of Police in the state, Ikioye Orutugu, as assuring residents of the command’s continued commitment to dismantling criminal structures linked to insurgent groups.

Orutugu said that the arrest was part of the ongoing efforts to rid the state of elements exploiting innocent citizens under the guise of agitation.

Cricket Cranes, Yellow Greens clash in fifth-place playoff

HARARE. Both Uganda and Nigeria came into this tournament with high hopes, but instead of contesting for a World Cup slot, they now find themselves fighting for pride in the fifth-place playoff final.

For the Cricket Cranes, once tipped among the favourites, the disappointment of missing out on back-to-back World Cup appearances has been softened by two clinical wins over Botswana and Malawi in the second fifth place semifinal.

For Nigeria’s Yellow Greens, a cruel net run rate twist robbed them of a semifinal berth, and they now seek consolation by upsetting an Ugandan side they have never beaten in T20 internationals.

Tale of Missed Opportunities

Uganda’s campaign began with bold ambitions, having qualified for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the West Indies and aiming for a repeat.

But defeats to hosts Zimbabwe by five wickets and a spirited Tanzania by nine runs left their qualification hopes in tatters. A morale-lifting win against Botswana restored some pride before they showcased their depth and professionalism in a commanding victory over Malawi in the fifth-place semifinal on Thursday, October 4.

Captain Riazat Ali Shah insists Uganda want to end on a positive note: ‘It’s been a tough campaign, but we are determined to finish strong. Ending on a high is important for the team and for our supporters back home.’

Nigeria’s broken hearts

Nigeria, on the other hand, looked destined for the semifinals after posting a competitive 148 against Kenya. But their dreams were dashed when the East Africans chased it down in just 13.4 overs to leapfrog them on Net Run Rate (NRR).

They recovered well to brush aside Botswana in the fifth-place playoff semifinal, but the pain of falling short will still linger.

Head coach Abhay Sharma has urged his Ugandan charges to stay focused.

‘The process is bigger than one result. Against Nigeria, we must stay disciplined, because they will be desperate for their first win over us. These are the games that test character, and we must show ours.’

What’s at stake

For both teams, a fifth-place finish may not have been the ultimate goal, but it represents a chance to rebuild confidence before heading home. Nigeria have never beaten Uganda in 11 previous T20 meetings, but coach Steve Tikolo’s Yellow Greens will be desperate to rewrite history in front of what promises to be a lively Takashinga crowd.

Uganda’s dominance in this fixture is clear, but Nigeria’s hunger for a breakthrough could make Satuday’s clash a thriller.
