SLAP44:
Hardworking?

And bandits killed 22 people in Bauchi last week and nobody has been arrested?

Only in Nigeria.

Vote for Peter Obi if you want this situation to change.
Let me correct you, it was 10 people that were killed in Bauchi state last week not 22 according to Premium Times Newspaper: 10 people killed as gunmen sack communities around Bauchi’s oil-producing areas.
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/nnorth-east/569892-10-people-killed-as-gunmen-sack-communities-around-bauchis-oil-producing-areas.html

Those suspected of carrying out the killings were killed by the Nigeria Police 4 days ago when they wanted to carry out another killing in Bauchi this week.
Here is the link:
Police eliminate 12 suspected terrorists in Bauchi.
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/571337-police-eliminate-12-suspected-terrorists-in-bauchi.html

The Nigeria Police are doing their best to ensure that there is minimum insecurities in Nigeria and maximum security for Nigerians.
The Nigeria Police is of one the security agencies in Nigeria and the Nigeria Police is trying their best to please Nigerians.

Nigerians are free to choose their leaders, that is why IGP stand for Election Justice, fairness and equity: free and fair 2023 General Elections.

The silent of Igbo leaders and Igbo politicians over the killings In Eha-Amufu in Enugu state is suspicious.

Igbo youths are already gathering Intelligence from Eha-Amufu in Enugu state to really know what is going on.
According to some informants, they say the killings may have nothing to do with Fulani people but with some violence foreigners people who have discover natural resources in Eha-Amufu in Enugu state, this violence foreigners wants to create terror atmosphere around Eha-Amufu to keep people away so they can plunder and loot the newly discovered natural resources.

This is what this violence foreigners did in zamfara state when they discover gold there, they began to spread terror by killing people and burning down houses, so to keep people from coming to that environment, while this violence foreigners plunder and loot the natural resources in zamfara state which is gold and carry the golds out of Nigeria through helicopter; even Nigeria government was aware but could stop the foreigners.

Most Igbo youths are still asking what gave this violence foreigners boldness to enter Igbo land to plunder and loot Igbo resources: when investigation is completed the Igbo youths will take action.

Try to go to most of this Igbo politicians Twitter page and ask them, why they are not speaking against the killings of Igbo people in Igbo land and read their reply.

Politics › Improving Police-citizens Relationship: Tips For Safe And Cordial Interactions by 1nice(op): 10:30am On Dec 19, 2022
IMPROVING POLICE-CITIZENS RELATIONSHIP: TIPS FOR SAFE AND CORDIAL INTERACTIONS (PART 1)

In the wake of recent killings of innocent citizens by unscrupulous police men and also unprovoked attacks on some police men by some criminally-minded persons, “Frankmba’s blog” is today providing you with tips for safe and cordial interaction with the police at different encounters. Please read on…

Ordinarily, encounters between the citizens and the Police or other law enforcement agents should be reassuring and delightful. In fact, the mere sight of the Police ought to generate in the citizen an instant feeling of relief, safety and security. This unfortunately, is not the reality in Nigeria today.

In fact, some encounters in the past had led to embarrassment, injuries, permanent disability and, in extreme cases, death of the citizens. Similarly, some security agents have also suffered molestation and harm from such encounters.

While Police officers are reminded of the need to exercise ‘courageous calm’ and avoid resort to the use of deadly force or lethal weapon at the slightest provocation, members of the public on the other hand are expected to avoid actions that could turn simple encounters with security personnel into more serious ones.

It is against this backdrop that we are today providing our readers with tips that could help in enhancing cordial relationship between the Police and the citizenry.

Tips for safe and cordial relationship at check points

When approaching a security checkpoint or when flagged-down by the Police or other security agencies;

Endeavor to slow down your vehicle. It shows that you are not reckless. It also douses suspicion that you are a criminal and may want to speed-off.

Turn down the volume of your car stereo. Courtesy demands this. Besides, you are able to hear each other better. This simple act will also help you to win the confidence of the security operative.

Keep your hands visible to avoid unnecessary suspicion or fear by the officers that you are attempting to bring out a gun or other harmful objects to attack them.

Turn on the inner light of your vehicle while approaching the cops (if at night). It readily sends an unspoken message that you have nothing to hide.

Be friendly and cheerful. Commend the officers especially when you see them working under very unfriendly weather conditions such as the rains, the harsh harmattan conditions, excessive heat, cold or sunshine. We know it’s their job, but a little kind word from you will do a lot of good. Remember when you smile at the mirror, the mirror smiles back at you.

Endeavour to be polite even when answering questions put to you by the officers.

Don’t dare or challenge an armed security man to a duel. Oftentimes, you hear people say things like ‘shoot me, if you can!” Note that this is a recipe for disaster! It is very provocative and an unnecessary call for war. So, please play safe, more so, as you do not know the state of mind of the officer concerned.

Also, don’t go into a physical fight with an armed security officer. He may resort to the use of his weapon (rightly or wrongly) to defend himself.

Avoid unnecessary argument with armed security personnel. There are a thousand and one ways to seek redress where you feel your rights have been infringed upon.

Never try to touch an officer in an unfriendly manner. He may suspect you of trying to disarm him.

If you are a regular traveler or road user, make sure you have the police emergency phone numbers of the route you operate. You never can tell when an emergency situation could arise and you need the Police to come to your aid.

Make sure you have all your relevant car papers and desist from actions or inactions that constitute either a criminal or traffic offence. Such infractions of the law provide veritable grounds for possible charges and other forms of adversarial contact with the Police or other law enforcement agencies, including unnecessary arguments.

Don’t give the impression that you are unhappy to see an officer on his beat or that he is wasting your time. But if you do have an emergency, politely inform the officer. Don’t speed off while still being checked.

Take note of the name tags, Force or Service numbers, personal description, description of weapons or patrol vehicle of the security officer especially where the officers begin to conduct themselves in unprofessional manner.

Seek audience with the most senior police officer at the check point if things are not working out smoothly.

Politely insist to be taken to the police station if your complaint is not properly addressed.

POLICE CYBERCRIME UNIT WARNS OF POSSIBLE PHISHING, CYBER ATTACKS.

Asks Public to Disregard Trending Messages on 5G Migration

The Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) hereby warns members of the public and strategic stakeholders in national security matters to be wary of a suspected ploy by subversive elements to prepare the ground for likely phishing and cyber-attacks through the deliberate publication and dissemination of a WhatsApp message, currently in circulation, purportedly from the Cybercrime Department of the Nigeria Police Force informing the general public of the commencement and warning of possible breaches in the migration protocols to the 5G network services.

The Director in charge of NPF-NCCC, DCP uche ifeanyi Henry, has noted that the message did not emanate from the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre and therefore warns the general public to be wary as it is likely the handiwork of cyber criminals setting the grounds to fleece innocent and unsuspecting members of the public of their monies or to steal their identities.

The general public is hereby advised to discountenance the broadcast message and cease sharing such, as it is deceptive and misleading.
Genuine guidelines on the roll-out and migration to the 5G network will be available in due time on authorized websites and verified social media handles of the NPF-NCCC, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Telecom Companies, and other communication service providers.

Politics › Tips For Surviving Kidnapping: Nigeria Police Force by 1nice(op): 9:10pm On Dec 12, 2022
In the unlikely event, that in spite of your observance of all the precautionary measures mentioned earlier you are still kidnapped, surviving the ordeal should be the next course of action.

TIPS FOR SURVIVING IN THE HANDS OF KIDNAPPERS

Below are the necessary tips you should observe while in the hands of kidnappers.

Take a deep breath; assure yourself that you will certainly come back alive. Note that the first few minutes of abduction or kidnapping is the most critical and hostile period. At this stage, the kidnappers are also afraid for their lives. Failure on their part means they could be arrested and prosecuted. They are therefore jittery and any suspicious move by you could make them pull the trigger at you.

· Having tried to avoid the kidnap situation and failing, the most important option should be to cooperate as unplanned attempt to escape may become too risky.

· Avoid openly making any facial contact with the kidnappers, but try and memorize their description, if you get the opportunity to view them without endangering your life.

· Keep mental note of the landmark especially the shops, supermarket, fuel stations, buildings around the area the kidnappers are taking you to if you are not blindfolded by your captors.

· Obey all instructions from the kidnappers and avoid unnecessary argument with them.

· Avoid behaviors or attitude that will provoke the kidnappers.

· Listen to their conversation and keep mental note of the details about their names, accent, slangs and other information about the abductors to assist the police in investigation after your rescue.

· Try to avoid too much complaint so they do not get tired of you and kill you.

· Try to stay healthy. Avoid anything that will make you sustain physical injury as getting medical attention might be difficult. More so, as you do not know how soon you will be rescued or freed.

· Gradually try to win the kidnappers’ trust. Try playing mind games with them especially with any of them you consider less hardened. For instance show empathy to the kidnappers even if you are acting it. If for example they claim they were driven into kidnapping for reason of unemployment, tell them you understand and blame someone else for not providing them a decent job. You may try talking them into pitying you or putting yourself in any of their relatives’ shoes.

· During Police rescue operation, lie on the floor to prevent stray bullet from hitting you. Identify yourself to the rescuers as soon it is safe to do so.

· Plan your escape only if it is absolutely safe to do so. This should be your last resort and remember, there is no escape plan that is absolutely risk-free.

Politics › Tips On How To Prevent Kidnapping - Police by 1nice(op): 8:42pm On Dec 12, 2022
Kidnapping, which is the act of taking somebody away illegally and keeping them as prisoners or hostages, especially in order to get ransom or other benefits before they are released, is evidently giving us cause for concern now. Kidnapping is a serious offence. In fact, in some states of the federation, kidnapping is now considered a capital offence, that is, an offence that is punishable by death. As the Police and other critical stakeholders are doing everything humanly possible to combat it, frankmba.ng is on its own proffering a few tips on some of the ways not only to avoid being kidnapped but also on how to survive when you are unfortunately kidnapped. To avoid being kidnapped, you may consider adopting some of the following security tips:

* Do not work-out, drive, go to work or take children to school using the same route all the time especially where you have alternate routes. This is because felons may rely on your routines to track you down and look for a time when you are most vulnerable to strike.

*Do not accept rides offered by strangers, because you would be at their mercy if they turn out to be kidnappers.

* Always let someone know your whereabouts or where you are going. Give the name and other useful information of the person you are going to meet, in case of any eventuality.

*Do not accept drinks, gums, cigarettes, and food from anybody you are not familiar with. You could easily be drugged and taken hostage.

* Teach the children not to accept gifts from persons they are not familiar with. It is however important we do this with utmost care so as not to make our children become paranoid.

* Do not draw unnecessary attention to yourself, especially by making public donations or appearing flashy or spraying money carelessly at events. Note that even when musicians and praise-singers are praising you to high heavens during such events, they may unwittingly be attracting unscrupulous elements to you.

* Be familiar with your surroundings; also know your neighbors as these are critical to your personal safety and well-being. Remember the case of Evans, the billionaire kidnapper who lived in a beautiful estate in Lagos for years yet none within the neighborhood had an inkling that they were living with the “most wanted kidnapper” in Nigeria until he was apprehended by the Police.

* Identify Police Stations, barracks and other security zones that are close to your residence or place of work in case of any exigency.

* Ensure you have Control Room numbers of relevant security agencies especially the ones nearest to you in case of emergencies.

*Make sure you secure your home. You could do this by:

– Simulating human presence especially when you are alone in the house or you feel insecure.

–Activating home security such as alarm system, CCTV if any.

–At night ensure that your home is well-lit.

– When in the house, ensure your doors are properly shut/locked especially at night or whilst alone.

* It is important that you do a thorough background check on your domestic staff such as your drivers, nannies, cooks, gardeners, and cleaners etc before you employ them.

– Study their change in lifestyle, the company they keep and their whereabouts at all times.

– Persons employed as drivers for school-runs must constantly be monitored as experience has shown that some drivers connive with criminals to facilitate the kidnap of innocent children.

– Treat your staff fairly with utmost decency and care. This is important to win their trust and loyalty and reduce the chance of criminals infiltrating them and leveraging them to harm you.

* Always exercise caution especially while on the social media platforms. It is important that you minimize posting of sensitive information and pictures such as:

– Your financial transactions

– Your whereabouts or location.

– Pictures of your family etc that could readily give you out to would-be felons.

*When you notice a threat in any form, quickly attract the attention of people around, either by shouting, screaming or running away etc, when it is safe to do so.

* Always be vigilant. Ensure you have airtime on your phone and that the phone is nearby in case you may have to make an urgent call.

* Drive defensively, especially at night or when you are on a lonely and dangerous road or you suspect that you are being followed by suspected kidnappers. Even when you have a punctured tyre, manage it to a safer place. It is better to lose the wheel of your car than to be taken hostage.

* There is security in numbers! Always ensure that when you engage in work outs, jogging, walking, biking, running etc, you do so in concert with others. You are less likely to be attacked when you are amongst people than when alone.

(Part 2 which deals on how to survive in the hands of kidnappers, in the unlikely event of being kidnapped is coming soon)
