looks too top heavy ,the cab just separated from the chassis and that is the cause of the fatalities,if a mine hit that contraption the cab will fly off in the air and land several meters away,I have no doubt this is made in Nigeria either by the army engineers,proforce or innoson.
Innoson wouldn't make that crap, he's just reproducing Chinese models so it would have better structural design. It's a proforce product.
Politics / Ebubeagu In Search Of ESN Kill 22-year-old Man In Imo: Report by abouzaid: 8:17pm On Feb 08, 2022
*Ebubeagu in search of ESN kill 22-year-old man in Imo: report*

Southeast regional security force Ebubeagu is reported to have killed a 22-year-old man, Chigozie Igbo, while searching for members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) at Okwu Umuoke in Atta Njaba Local Government Area in Imo State.

An eyewitness, Pastor Christopher Okewuihe of the Defenders of Faith Church, who disclosed the incident to our correspondent, said the deceased was sitting alongside 3 other young people from the community precisely beside a roadside food vendor when they sighted the vigilante group in 2 Hilux vehicle advanced towards them.

“As they made an attempt to run, they opened fire on them and Chigozie was hit by their bullet, he died instantly while they continue chasing the other 3,” the source said.



As of the time of this report, the community is still searching for the 3 youths, but a source from the community has expressed fears that they might have been detained or killed.

“It’s unfortunate, I saw them with my own eyes, I was just going to buy something when I saw the 2 Hilux with some men with arms wearing black attire, they said they are Ebubeagu, the boys saw them and started running, they opened fire on them and killed Chigozie.

“The other three boys continue running and nobody has seen where they are till now, they might have been taken away or killed.” Okewuihe narrated.

The incident which occurred on January 28 has thrown the whole community into a mourning mood, with the mother of the deceased, Mrs Mercilina, yet to get over the shock.

“I want my son. Please, whoever knows where they have sent him should still bring him back to me, he is my only child, how can I survive without him,” the widow lamented.

Police spokesman Michael Abattam has denied knowledge of the incident, insisting that he has not been briefed.

Politics / Gov Diri Faults Police Recruitment Template by abouzaid: 7:40pm On Feb 04, 2022
Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, has criticised the recruitment procedure into the Nigeria Police Force, saying it violated the federal character principle.

He spoke at a town hall meeting organised by the state government in collaboration with the Police Service Commission in Yenagoa on Friday.

Faulting the procedure, Diri said recruitment into federal agencies that is based on number of local government areas in a state was unjustifiable and lacked merit.

The governor, in a statement, argued that equitable recruitment can only be achieved if the process was in tandem with the federal character principle as enshrined in Nigeria’s Constitution.

While calling for a review of the anomaly, Diri said no state should be superior to another irrespective of size and population.

He said, “I have one concern and that is on recruitments done in this country based on local governments. As you can see, Bayelsa has only eight local governments. So how do you justify equitable recruitment based on federal character principle as provided in our Constitution when you recruit from 40 local government areas in a state like Kano and here you are recruiting from only eight local government areas?

“There is no justice and equity in that. As representative of the Police Service Commission chairman, please take this back to your commission that the recruitment process in our country is not justifiable, is not fair and there is no equity in it.


“It is only at a forum like this we can tell ourselves the truth. As a federation, every state government, no matter how small, should be considered by virtue of the federal character principle in our Constitution.”

Diri also restated his position on state police, saying that the federal police is now over-burdened by the country’s growing population.

He also called on Nigerians to disabuse their minds from the notion that state police would be hijacked by governors, stressing that the underlying issue is more on the protection of lives and property.

While describing the town hall meeting as very apt and productive, the governor called on participants to see it as the best way forward in the security of the state and the country.

The commissioner representing South-South zone in the Police Service Commission, Austin Braimoh, said the town hall meeting was meant to improve on the relationship between the force and the public.

He stated that the commission was building a new police force for the country and urged qualified youths to take advantage of the recruitment exercise and contribute their quota to nation building.

While responding to concerns raised by the governor, Braimoh noted that though the commission has given each local government area in the country 10 slots each for the recruitment process, the issue of inequality would be addressed in the recommendation to the commission’s hierarchy.

In his remarks, the Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Ben Okolo, said the essence of the meeting was to underscore the importance of the police to the citizens and as well encourage the younger generation to be recruited into the force to fight crime.

These are the true elders, the North have destroyed the southern governors forum and turned the Yorubas against the Igbos with the 2023 presidency that the North might still retain, if Apc fields Tinubu with a northern muslim as his running mate as he has said earlier and PDP fields Atiku with Peter Obi as his running mate, the southeast and south south might vote for PDP just to spite the Yorubas for what they consider a betrayal so the Fulani retains power.

Politics / Father Of 10 Killed Over Inability To Pay N60m Ransom by abouzaid: 9:12pm On Jan 28, 2022
M r. Gbenga Falana, a 37-year-old father of 10 children and five wives, has been shot to death in the Yewa area of Ogun State by suspected kidnappers, over the inability of his family members to cough up N60 million ransom. The deceased, a hotel manager, was abducted on January 12, 2022, in front of the hotel where he worked and whisked away into the forest. He would later be found dead, with bullets to his forehead and chest. According to his grieving family members, less than two hours after his abduction, the kidnappers called, demanding a N60 million ransom.

However, following pleadings from Gbenga’s distraught relatives, the kidnappers reduced the money to N50 million, which they still couldn’t raise. Gbenga’s elder sister, Miss Temitope Falana, said she was in her shop, attending to customers when she heard gunshots. According to Temitope, when she heard the gunshots, she had initially thought operatives of the Nigerian Customs and smugglers were once again in a gun duel, unaware that the shooters had grabbed her brother. She said: “When I heard what happened, I rushed to the hotel and begged people to join us in searching for Gbenga, hoping that we could rescue him.

But people were reluctant, saying they didn’t have guns to protect themselves. After making frantic efforts that night without results, we went to Abeokuta, Ogun State Police Headquarters, Eleweran, to make a report and possibly track his phone in order to rescue him. While we were still at Abeokuta, one of his wives went to Igbogila Police Station to report the incident. However, till this moment, nothing had been done by the police. Unfortunately, when we came back from Abeokuta, some youths and elders in the community had gone to search for him only to find his remains.”

Temitope said that Gbenga was shot on the forehead and chest at close range. She opined that he was killed because, “we couldn’t pay the ransom they demanded. I cried my heart out that day, but there was nothing I could do. Our father is old and our mother is late.” She further narrated: “We were made to understand that he was killed the second day; that was after waiting for the money without a response from us. Whenever they called, we always begged them that even if we sell all our property, we couldn’t raise such an amount of money.

Whenever I spoke with them, I always wept because they repeatedly threatened to kill him and then they carried out their threat. We have accepted our fate, but the only issues we have now is how to take care of his wives and the 10 children he left behind.” Temitope explained that a few hours before the kidnappers killed Gbenga, she called them about 3am, pleading with them.

The kidnappers told her that the person they came for was exactly the person they picked, that there was no mistake. “And then they said that we should go to a bush path to pick his corpse. My father had been in pain,” said Temitope. She further stated: “This is not the first time we’re witnessing kidnapping in our community, but this is the most touching. Those they kidnapped before now, they don’t kill them; they only collect ransom and then release the victims. Gbenga was the one who advised me to leave Lagoand return home because business thrives in our village due to the cement factory. But we don’t have security in our community.

God is our protector and there is also no government presence in our area. No electricity and no good roads.” The aged father of Gbenga, Pa Steven Falana, who is also the Baale of the community, said a lot of people had been kidnapped in recent times, but none had ever been killed. He didn’t understand why his son’s case was different. The bereaved father recalled: “A day before my son was killed, I called him on the phone to come and drive me to a function, but he didn’t pick his calls. Unfortunately, it was that night my son was kidnapped in front of his work place. Since the establishment of the cement factory in our community, crime rates have increased. A few minutes after the kidnappers took him away, they called to demand a N60 million ransom, which they later reduced to N50 million. I don’t have such an amount of money.

I want government assistance in the security aspect. My fear now is the children who trek about three miles to get to their various schools; they are not safe.” Gbenga’s first wife, Mrs. Cecilia Falana, said she was at home cooking when she heard gunshots and suddenly one of her husband’s brothers rushed to her, shouting that Gbenga had been kidnapped and dragged into the forest. She said: “I immediately left what I was doing, and what came to my mind was to rush into the bush to start looking for him. I heard people saying they couldn’t go in search of him because they had no guns. We returned home. But that night, I couldn’t sleep.

I cried throughout, thinking about solutions to the situation. On that day that he was kidnapped, some residents and I went to the hotel where he worked with the hope that police from Igbogila Police Station would come. Unfortunately, they didn’t. While we were still there, we continued to hear gunshots of the kidnappers. If we had effective police personnel, my husband would have been rescued that night.

Residents were not armed, but the police are armed. I kept calling my husband’s phone, praying that the kidnappers would allow him to speak with me. It was one of the kidnappers who picked the calls and told me that we should get N60 million ready. That was how we started begging them. The following day, we continued to beg until the ransom was reduced to N50 million. My husband didn’t have such an amount of money. It was the vigilante group that went to rescue him the following day and found his corpse.” The deceased’s second wife, Mrs. Esther Falana, said her last conversation with Gbenga was when he called to inform her that he was taking his car to a mechanic workshop for repairs. She said: “After fixing the car, he called back to inform me that he had returned to the hotel. I asked him to come home. I was still expecting him when the information of his being kidnapped got to me. Since then, I have not been myself.” A former Councillor, representing the community, Honourable Dayo Ogunyinka, said the security situation at Yewa was generally frightful. He said: “We’ve been trying our best to secure our community. The person abducted was a young man still struggling to survive with his family. The scene of the abduction is a stone’s throw to his father’s house.

It gave us a lot of concern. I’m calling on the Ogun State government and the state’s commissioner of police, to come to our rescue. We’re no longer safe and our major concern is the children trekking to school on a daily basis. We have a cement factory in our community, where a lot of important personalities are working. I believe that is why kidnapping is thriving in our area. The abductors believe everyone in the community is rich because of the cement factory. We have an influx of people from West African countries.

Before, we knew ourselves, but now, when an apartment is given out to let to a stranger, before you know it, about 20 people would be living in that apartment. We don’t know them and we don’t know their backgrounds.” He revealed that the community had written to Dangote cement factory on how to provide security in the community. One of the suggestions was that the company should empower the local vigilante groups so as to beef up security. Ogunyinka opined that routes, not known in the community by the police, are known by the vigilante groups. The youth leader in the community, Mr. Kabiru Falana, another sibling to Gbenga, said that the abduction of his elder brother was a cause for serious concern in the community.

His words: “We want security in our community. We cannot sleep with our eyes closed. This is not the first time such an incident is happening in our area. A businessman had been abducted and he paid N1 million before he was freed. Another person was also picked and he paid N1million.

A woman, Carol, who owns a bar, was also kidnapped and N2 Million was collected from her. This is just to tell you that we are sitting on a keg of gunpowder in the Yewa community. Just last year, about five persons were abducted. Just to avoid a crisis, we warned our children not to retaliate if slapped by a northerner. We have also called all tribes to be security conscious. We have cordial relationships with other tribes, those who abducted and killed Gbenga also threatened that no amount of vigilante we deployed would be able to stop them from storming our community again. We don’t have arms and ammunition to confront them. The police who can do that are not responding to our calls. We’re at the mercy of the Almighty God.”

Politics / Again, Herdsmen Attack Enugu Community, Kill One, 2 Others Critically Injured by abouzaid: 6:51pm On Jan 24, 2022
*Again, herdsmen attack Enugu community, kill one, 2 others critically injured*

By Ikechukwu Odu – Nsukka
At least one life was lost while two others are in critical condition after suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked Abor Community in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, Saturday.

Vanguard gathered that after the attack on Mgbuji farm settlements, also in the council area which resulted in the death of at least three farmers about two weeks ago, the herders relocated to another farm settlement in Abor, where the latest attack took place.

A member of the community who spoke in anonymity said the three farmers were attacked with machetes, resulting in the death of one of the victims.

“Three farmers were attacked in their farm settlement on Saturday at Abor. One is already dead while two others are critically injured with severe machete cuts. They are receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital now.

“This is not the first time our community is being attacked by suspected Fulani herdsmen this New Year,” he said.

The source said that palpable fear has gripped the community over the movement and resultant attacks of herdsmen in the local government, calling on the governments to find lasting solution to the menace.

The spokesperson of the Enugu State Police Command, Daniel Ndukwe, confirmed the attack but said that no life was lost.

“Yes, there was an attack but nobody died,” he said.

If Buhari should apply the same amount of energy, money, commitment etc that he has been applying against IPOB to all facets of the Nigerian national life including the war against the Fulani militia, Nigeria would have been better today than when he came into power. Unfortunately, Nigerians are yet to learn their lessons, look at how the North have divided the Yorubas against the Igbos with 2023 presidency that they're not even sure of getting. Who still talks about the southern governors forum meanwhile the Fulani militia attacks down south have increased with nobody been arrested or arraigned just as the late Obadiah Mailafia foretold. The day the south really unites to divide this country is the day the common man on the street would have true hope of living a better life in the new emergent nations.
