The Rivers State Police Command has said it has arrested the Leader of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Chidi Llyod, for the alleged murder of Police Sgt. Urang Obediah and Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, his kinsman and arch political opponent.

A statement issued by the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Ahmad Muhammad, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), yesterday night said Lloyd was arrested on his way to the Air Force Base airstrip to escape justice.

The statement said Lloyd had last Monday, while pursuing Ejeuo, knocked down Obediah, who was trying to stop him, killed him and went ahead to crush the Volkswagen Passat car Ejeuo was driving in and also killed him.

Muhammad said the police initially thought the incident was a mere accident, which ought to have been manslaughter.

He, however, said the police had to change their mind when the Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mbu, directed the Area Commander, Metro Police, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Garba, to visit Lloyd in his hospital bed and commiserate with him.

He said, conscious of what he did, Lloyd relocated to another hospital when facts emerged that he (Lloyd) drove a bullet proof vehicle, while pursuing the late Ejeuo and in the process knocked down Obediah, who died on the spot and moved ahead to smash Ejuo in his Passat car.
According to the PPRO, “Late Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, who hailed from the same place with Hon. Chidi Lloyd is believed to be in the PDP camp led by Mr. Felix Obuah.”

He said: “While being guarded by four policemen in his hospital bed, he (Lloyd) sneaked out through the hospital’s back door and was driven in three tinted bullet-proof jeeps and escaped.”

Muhammad also said: “On receipt of the information of the escape of Chidi Lloyd, the Commissioner of Police, CP. Mbu J. Mbu, directed for a thorough search on all jeeps, while the CP himself personally drove to the Air Force base, where he met Governor Rotimi Amaechi and a private jet waiting for take off.

“As soon as he (the police commissioner) alighted, he saluted the governor, the governor ignored him and showered rain of abuses on the commissioner of police but the CP kept calm.
Unfortunately for Chidi Lloyd, the eagle-eyed police patrol vehicles intercepted him and the CP was informed immediately and he left the Air Force base to his office, ignoring the abuses from the governor. After waiting in vain for Chidi Lloyd’s arrival, Amaechi boarded his jet and took off in anger.”

When contacted for his reaction, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Mr. David Iyorfor, said: “It’s most preposterous and outrageous for the police to say that. Escape to where? Does it make any sense to escape from Port Harcourt to Abuja? Is Abuja not within the Federal Republic of Nigeria? It’s a blatant lie.”

Lloyd was at the centre of the fracas which broke out in the assembly on July 9, 2013 when he used the mace to break the head of one of the anti-Amaechi lawmakers, Hon. Michael Chindah, an incident that drew world-wide attention.

Nelson Mandela has died today at the age of 95, according to South African President Jacob Zuma. His death marks the final chapter in a life that changed South Africa forever.

The former South African president had been suffering from a recurring lung infection, and the Daily Telegraph reports that his friends and family had gathered at his bed today. Zuma announced his death in a televised address to the nation.

"Our nation has lost its greatest son, yet what made Nelson Mandela great was precisely what made him human," Zuma said. "We saw in him what we seek in ourselves, and in him we saw so much of ourselves."

Mandela's struggle was one of the defining stories of the 20th century. Trained as a lawyer, he became involved in politics after 1948 as South Africa moved into a system of racial apartheid. While initially espousing non-violent protests with the African National Congress (ANC), he eventually founded a militant organization and was behind a bombing campaign in the early 1960s. He was arrested and sentenced to life in prison in 1962.

Initially imprisoned in a 8 feet by 7 feet concrete cell with only a straw mat on which to sleep, Mandela's imprisonment soon became an international cause. He was eventually released on 2 February 1990 after intervention by President F. W. de Klerk.

Mandela became president of the ANC in 1991, and was elected president of South Africa in May 1994, a position in which he remained until 1999. During his time in office he led the dismantling of the apartheid system, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.

Mandela is survived by his wife, Graça Machel, six children, and 17 grandchildren.

Mandela had been sick for a long time. Earlier this year, South Africa's Sunday Times ran a story on Mandela's illness under the headline "It's time to let him go."

Nigerian goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama on Tuesday went into the record books in France.

The 31-year-old is now the goal keeper with the second longest clean sheet record in Ligue 1 after he inspired Lille OSC to a 1-0 win over the country’s best supported club, Olympic Marseille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on match day 16 of the competition.

Sirigu went 949 minutes without conceding in Ligue 1 between November 17, 2012 and February 8, 2013 but Enyeama who had gone 945 minutes without conceding before Tuesday’s game surpassed the mark with a clean sheet at the Villeneuve d'Ascq against La OM.

Enyeama who has not let in a single goal in his last 11 league outings with Lille has now gone 1,035 minutes without letting in a goal in the French top flight.

If the former Enyimba goalkeeper does not concede in the next 142 minutes of action in the league, he will go into the history books as the goalkeeper with the record of going the longest number of minutes without conceding a goal.

The current record is held by the now retired Gaëtan Huard who achieved the feat playing for FC Girondins de Bordeaux in the 1992/93 season.

Lille OSC’s next games in the league are against Bordeaux at the Stade Jacques Chaban-Delmas on December 8 and against Bastia at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on December 15.

Clean sheets in those games will see the Nigerian achieve football folklore in France but the shot stopper had told supersportsport.com in November that such a feat does not mean much to him.

“I don’t keep statistics. I am surprised you just read out the facts for me. Honestly, I wasn’t even aware because I just go out to play football,” he said.

Tuesday’s win against La OM takes Lille to just a point behind PSG at the top of Ligue one though the Parisiens have played a game less than the Mastiffs.

The interim publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lai Mohammed, has come to the rescue of the Edo state Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, who is currently the object of a public outcry following his remarks asking a widow to ‘go and die.’

Recently, a video which showed the governor ordering the seizure of some goods belonging to a resident of the state, who was allegedly a road side hawker, caused a furore on social media which was reported in the dailies.

Governor Oshiomhole had asked that the woman’s goods be confiscated for breaking traffic laws but upon hearing her pleas for mercy on grounds that she was a widow, the Governor said “you are a widow, go and die.”



This statement caused a backlash from citizens both within and outside Nigeria.

Commenting on this while speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise, on Saturday, Mr Mohammed said “running a state is not about popularity but about doing the right thing.”

“In doing so, you are probably going to step on certain toes,” he said, adding that his experience in government gives him knowledge that harsh decisions will be taken.

Asked if the Governor’s comment was justified, he said, “No. I’m just saying that in some circumstances, you take decisions which are very unpleasant.”

There was drama at the Obio Akpor local government council yesterday as Mr Timothy Nsirim refused to vacate his office as Chairman of the council in compliance with the dissolution of the local government council on Thursday night by governor Chibuike Amaechi.

Also the seventeen Councillors of the local government told newsmen that they would not comply with the dissolution.

It would be recalled that Mr Nsirim who was suspended alongside seventeen Councillors of the local government by the state House of Assembly six months ago, recently secured a Port Harcourt High court judgement quashing the suspension

Barely five days after the court victory governor Amaechi dissolved the council and directed that the chairman should immediately hand over to the Head of Local government Administration.

Meantime, Mr Nsirim yesterday told newsmen that he resumed at the office as early as 7am to continue the business of the day as Chairman of the council.

The Head of the Local Government Administration, Mr Singer Azubuike Singer at an interactive session with newsmen yesterday morning in Government House, Port Harcourt insisted that he was now in charge of the council, adding that the dissolution by the state governor was in order.

“The recent announcement of the governor dissolving the council and handing over to the Head of Local Government Administration is in accordance with the law.   Nobody should pay revenue to individuals. There are designated banks to pay revenues to”, he said.

When asked if Mr Nsirim had handed over to him the Head of the Local Government Administration, Mr Singer said he was yet to see him.

September 27, 2013 is a day   residents of the sleepy rural community of Umuchima, Ubaha, Okigwe Local Government Area of the state will not forget in a hurry. On this fateful day, a very unusual but deafening noise suddenly rented the air, accompanied by a rare spectacle that threw all and sundry into panic as they scampered into safety. The strange sound was later traced to the family home of a visually-impaired pensioner, Mr. Augustine Eke.

What further heightened people’s anxiety was when they also noticed a thick smoke coming from the hapless man’s compound. They had every reason to believe that Boko Haram insurgents had invaded the community. News quickly spread that a rocket had landed in Eke’s compound. They were right but it was not coming from Boko Haram!

Indeed it later turned out that there really was no cause for alarm as the rocket was nothing but a practical expression of the technological talents of an ex-student of Federal Government College, Okigwe, Gideon Chiadikobi Emenike and his friend, Chibuisi Nwafor. The duo fabricated and launched a rocket that travelled over five kilometres into the sky before crash landing.

The exploits of these youthful Nigerians may never have come to light but for the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Katsina. Again, if they had been treated like common criminals, the story may have taken a different shape. Truth is that Katsina moved journalists to Okigwe for on-the-spot assessment of the exploits of the young lads. Giving account of what happened to newsmen, the Commissioner of Police said although the boys who fabricated the device were reckless, preliminary investigations did not raise any serious security concern.



*CP Mohammed Katsina addressing the boys

The CP’S account: “We have identified the launch site and where the rocket crash landed. I know that the young chaps used simple components in activating this element. It is a combination of computer accessories and a highly inflammable substance.

“I will not, for security reasons disclose all the details we have concerning the device. What I want you to understand is that one of the components is something very common, something you and I use on a daily basis- sugar. We know sugar is highly inflammable. It is this sugar and some other components that propelled this device you hear that crash landed in Okigwe.

“Although the young boys can be said to be excessively reckless, preliminary investigations have not shown any criminal motive behind the adventure. I see the development as an excursion into the world of science and technology by some adventurous, skillful and intelligent young boys with incredible creativity. “This endowment propelled them into designing their own style of spacecraft.



When they launched this thing, there was about 30 minutes dream journey into space. The element eventually lost focus and crash-landed here (pointing at the point). We thank God that there was no fatal consequence to either life or property. “The element has been deactivated by our bomb disposal unit. I can tell you that the contraption does not contain any toxic or radioactive material. I like to authoritatively inform you at this juncture that the boys’ conduct was not an act of terrorism. It was a mere adventure by two young boys.

*The CP holding aloft the rocket after it crashlanded

“Let me also say that people should feel free and go about their normal business. We have taken possession of the whole area. Everything has been cleared, cleaned and rendered safe for human habitation. Apart from the initial pandemonium and fear created in the minds of the people in the neighbourhood, everything ended well.

“The boys are just between 16 and 17 years old. They only tried out their learning while in the secondary school. They wanted to know if they can practicalise the theories they learnt in school. The dream of these young boys is to design a spacecraft. It was launched without funfair. “The device went some kilometres into the sky before crash-landing. Let us not forget that the command has some formidable structures on ground. We have since commenced the sweeping of Imo State of all explosive ordinances. I want these boys to be encouraged. May be, who knows tomorrow, at my old age, I may be the lucky one that would fly in the spacecraft made by these young lads.

“So, I would rather not think of punitive measures against the boys. I would rather dwell heavily on protection, rehabilitation and encouragement of these young boys. Those who ran away are free to come back. From this moment, we have ended this case.

Gideon speaks: “My name is Gideon Chiadikobi Emenike and my friend’s name is Chibuisi Nwafor. I studied in Federal Government College, Okigwe and I graduated last year. This project started when I was still in school. I was told to build a project in school for a competition.

“In my SS1, I built a helicopter. In my SS2, I was told to build another project. I built this rocket and we went for a competition in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. I came second in the competition with the project. This was at the national level.

“We also went for another competition organised by the Society for Science and Technology. I also came second. I also went for Olympiad and I equally came second there. I was told that I was going to represent Nigeria in Brazil but later, my principal said that I was no longer going to represent the country.

“I still don’t know why the principal cancelled the trip. This frustrated me somehow but later, I picked up from where I dropped and started again. I now met my friend at a learning centre. I found out that he has for things related to science. We now pooled our brains together. “That was how we planned to build a rocket and a satellite, as well as sending it into space. It was an amateur satellite because you know we have not yet university graduates.

We just graduated from secondary school last year. “We have done this for now. I was really challenged when I heard that other countries were planning to launch satellites into space. It made me to think deep. This is what pushed to do what you are seeing today.  If government can adopt our technology, we can help them to actualize their dream of launching a satellite.

“This particular project was a mere attempt to reach a particular altitude. It was not fashioned to remain in space. This project came through after several experiments. If the Federal Government can sponsor us, we can take Nigeria to any level they want.

The boy’s father speaks

“My name is Friday Mgbemena Emenike. My son is curious about science. He got admission in University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, the last time. I tried to make him to study medicine but he rejected it and preferred to read aeronautic engineering. That was why he refused the admission. That is why he is still at home.

“He got an opportunity to travel to Brazil but the principal of his former school frustrated the move. He is intelligent. I am aware of this incident. When it happened, I didn’t feel too good till I learnt that the thing did not kill anybody and that it did not destroy anything. That increased my joy and I described it as the first victory.

“The question which Vanguard Metro and well meaning people of Imo State are asking is whether the Federal and State governments have taken note of the success recorded by these boys. What they will do with these boys thereafter equally remains a huge guess.



Just hope he maintains this form into the world cup !

The 31-year old Nigerian shot stopper who last conceded in the league on September 15 was in imperious form yet again as he helped his side claim all three points that consolidated their place in the upper rungs of the table.

The former Enyimba goalkeeper was called to duty three times by Tolouse’s attackers and came out with top marks to help his side to an important win that means Lille continue to stay in second place, with 30 points from 14 matches.

Enyeama’s good run also means he now needs to keep two more clean sheets in the league to claim the record of going the longest number of minutes without conceding in the French top flight.

PSG’s Italian goalkeeper, Salvatore Sirigu currently holds the record having gone 948 minutes without conceding in Ligue 1 between November 17, 2012 and February 8, 2013.

Enyeama has now gone 855 minutes without conceding. The biggest threat to him breaking that record is expected to come at the Grand Stade Lille Métropole (Villeneuve d'Ascq) on December 3 when Lille hosts Olympic Marseille on match day 16.

Remarkably, Enyeama does not need to go the entire 90 minutes against Olympic Marseille without conceding to break the record. If he does not concede inside the first four minutes of the encounter against the country’s best supported club, he will go into the history books for all the right reasons.

The Super Eagles stand in captain however told supersport.com recently that he is not thinking about the record.

“I don’t keep statistics. I am surprised you just read out the facts for me. Honestly, I wasn’t even aware because I just go out to play football,” he said.

Enyeama made his debut for Nigeria in 2002 and has since gone on to make appearances for the Super Eagles.

And it won't be a bad idea to move the mobil headquarter building to Akwa-Ibom

The father of Kelechi Iheanacho has raised alarm over the whereabouts of his son, saying he has been taken away by agents without his consent. Iheanacho, 17, was the top star of the recent FIFA U-17 World Cup in United Arab Emirates and is wanted by several top clubs in Europe.



 

However, controversies have continued to trail his next destination.

 

This week, Golden Eaglets assistant coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, was reported to have manhandled a FIFA agent in Owerri over the youngster’s transfer, MTNFootball.com reports. “I don’t know the whereabouts of my son. I have not been able to reach him for the past three days,” MTNFootball.com quoted James Iheanacho as saying on Hot FM Owerri on Friday.

 

Unconfirmed reports said two Golden Eaglets officials and a Portugal-based agent simply known as Graham may have taken the younger Iheanacho to Abuja to perfect his transfer to Europe.

 

Graham was behind the summer transfer of Flying Eagles midfielder Chidi Osuchukwu to another Portuguese club, Sporting Braga. Portuguese champions FC Porto is believed to be in pole position to sign the player from Taye Academy in Owerri.

I beg to differ pls....... 60% of collapse is caused by a collabo of stingy clients and greedy contractors ! While 40% is caused by the engagement of quacks !
Its very unfortunate wen u see high rise buildings been constructed with unacceptable concrete mix , inadequate reinforcement , poor structural analysis wat do u expect?
Another issue is professionalism in the industry ! Imagine an architect that his major field is design going on site to suppervise buildings , wtin him know about reinforcement , bending schedule, loading , structural analysis ......when we have building engineers that are specialists in that field ?

Its a nice one! But ....did u get to do a buildability and maintianability analysis on the first design? One thing is to design the other is how buildable the design is considering the structural elements and material specifications now there seem to be too many cantilevers ....!
