The Commissioner of Police in Kwara, Olushola Amore, has ordered the dismantling of a camp of Peace Corps of Nigeria in Offa local
government area of the state, describing it as
illegal.
The Command’s Public Relation Officer, DSP
Ajayi Okasanmi, confirmed the development to
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Friday in
Ilorin.
He said the Commissioner viewed the camp as
illegal, hence the reason he ordered that everyone at the camp should leave. Okasanmi explained that there was no information to the effect that a camp will open in Offa to train anyone.
“We were not officially informed about any camp in Offa and we don’t have any information about any organization organizing any camp there.
“There should be no training or camping of any
organization without the knowledge of the police.
“No organization has secure any clearance to
organize any camp in Offa.
“When we got information that there is a camp
going on somewhere in Offa and since no one
informed us about any, we had to close the camp.
“Doing this, we considered the security
situation of the country because we don’t know
the pedigree of the organization conducting the
camp.
“Our action was to just ensure there is no
breakdown of law and order.
“If we have a directive from Abuja that any
camping will hold, there is no problem because
we don’t have any issue with anyone”
Okasanmi said.
Reacting to the incident, the Kwara Adjutant of
the Peace Corps of Nigeria, Dr. Folorunsho
Peter, denied the police allegation that his
command did not inform it of its orientation
camp.
He explained that there were some applicants
who had not paid their dues to qualify to take
part in the orientation process who wanted to
forcefully partake in the camping.
“Some persons came and wanted to partake in
the training and they have not paid their dues
and met resistance from our officers on ground.
“The police came in and said the issue has not
been properly resolved and that we did not
obtain clearance to operate.
“We have properly informed them of our plans,
we served them our time table for the
orientation camp.
“We even invited the police commissioner to
come and deliver lecture, as well as DSS,
NDLEA and some other organizations.
“The camp Commandant came to Ilorin to see
the Commissioner of Police, though I was not
with them but was told they had a positive
discussion” Peter said.
Peter said theyhad allowed participants to go
off camp, so as not to have any confrontation
with the police.
He said applicants have been told to report to
the Command’s headquarter in Ilorin on
Monday, Feb. 20, and that camping will resume
again by Tuesday, Feb. 21.
NAN reports that no fewer than 5, 000
applicants from across the country are gathered
for the orientation in Offa. (NAN)

RosaConsidine:
Well, he has retracted the story and told us what happened. Have the police conducted a proper investigation to confirm he was trying to "incite the public" or is someone just using this to score cheap popularity (and probably political) points?

The rate at which people hate islam is fast rising. Take away apostasy law in islamic countries and see the rate at which muslims will dump islam.

alBHAGDADI:
Mugu. I spit and urinate on allah everyday. That declaration has nothing to do with me in real life. Can you now see how dubious and decietful islam is? Always looking for foul ways to forcefully convert people. Yet, you tell me its adherents aren't capable of converting with a sword. plS check my profile in 10mins time and see the picture i will place there.

alBHAGDADI:
This one is always looking for whom to islamize.

What the press accused of the Nigerian army is unfortunately how the Nigeria army conduct themselves; it is their typical modus operandi and trademark mode of operation. They have done it repeatedly over and over again. You must be an an army to make that statement.

Let me ask you; did the army have any business going after anyone in that village who killed their colleague? The answer is no. It's the constitutional duty of the police. Do not allow the lopsided way things are done here to change your perception of order.

The Nigerian army has always been a disgrace with a bunch of unprofessional idiots who thinks the uniform is a mark of superiority over anyone without a uniform.

Anyone who defends the army on matter of civilian brutality is an imbecilé in its purest form. Even if you were born abroad, you must have had friends and family who will tell you about how these uncivilised thugs in uniform operate.

Just last week I came to Lagos to purchase an iPad and a navy officer with naval coverall driving a Siena 2000 model was driving against traffic in a one-way lane.

He switched off the ignition and came down from his vehicle blocking the entire road...until the other vehicles plying the right way all cleared out for him.

The Nigerian army needs reorientation more than any other uniformed institution in Nigeria.

dabossman:
The way we throw terms around in this country though. I mean, Genocide? Haba, this is a reprisal attack. You killed one of theirs, they killed six of your.

It is not the kind of behavior the army should engage in, especially against the citizens they are supposed to protect. If the report is true, then those involved need to be punished.




I noticed that too. If their own council head denied the report, then the matter get as he be.

DonCortino:
Why is it on a national daily then?

Zombie! Accept the truth and be free.

Clarinett:
The main recruitment took place 2 months before the so called publication.

I am very sure of what i'm telling you.

The government is playing with its youth but i'm glad we are waking up.

Your earlier post implied that Christians support immorality. Don't twist words.
Valentine doesnt have pagan origin origins. You shouldn't comment on issues you know nothing about.

Stop rewriting history!

The origin of this holiday for the expression of love really isn't romantic at all—at least not in the traditional sense. Father Frank O'Gara of Whitefriars Street Church in Dublin, Ireland, tells the real story of the man behind the holiday—St. Valentine.
"He was a Roman Priest at a time when there was an emperor called Claudias who persecuted the church at that particular time," Father O'Gara explains. " He also had an edict that prohibited the marriage of young people. This was based on the hypothesis that unmarried soldiers fought better than married soldiers because married soldiers might be afraid of what might happen to them or their wives or families if they died."
"I think we must bear in mind that it was a very permissive society in which Valentine lived," says Father O'Gara. "Polygamy would have been much more popular than just one woman and one man living together. And yet some of them seemed to be attracted to Christian faith. But obviously the church thought that marriage was very sacred between one man and one woman for their life and that it was to be encouraged. And so it immediately presented the problem to the Christian church of what to do about this."
"The idea of encouraging them to marry within the Christian church was what Valentine was about. And he secretly married them because of the edict."
Valentine was eventually caught, imprisoned and tortured for performing marriage ceremonies against command of Emperor Claudius the second. There are legends surrounding Valentine's actions while in prison.
"One of the men who was to judge him in line with the Roman law at the time was a man called Asterius, whose daughter was blind. He was supposed to have prayed with and healed the young girl with such astonishing effect that Asterius himself became Christian as a result."
In the year 269 AD, Valentine was sentenced to a three part execution of a beating, stoning, and finally decapitation all because of his stand for Christian marriage. The story goes that the last words he wrote were in a note to Asterius' daughter. He inspired today's romantic missives by signing it, "from your Valentine."

Omudia:
Oh shut up... Mention the verse in the bible that promotes fornication and immorality..?? Do you even know that Saint Valentine died for Christ?

Pls shut up if you don't know history.
