Gentlemen, enough of these insults on the person of Mr president, we have to realise that this man is a father.
If you have advice how to solve some of the problems why not share it or send it to your state governor.

Violence broke at Abule Oki in Iyana Ipaja area of Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos state recently when a Mobile Policeman allegedly killed a youth leader (name withheld) in the area for claiming staff in a commercial bus  operated by the policeman.

Community News gathered that youth leader was coming from foothball training season when he boarded the commercial bus.

However, problem started when the youth leader wanted to alight from the bus at Iyana Ipaja and refused to pay the N50:00 transport fare, claiming to be a 'staff'. The driver who was a policeman, was annoyed by that statement and an arguement ensued between them. And in the process, the driver allegedly stabbed the youth leader with a dagger and he died before he could be rushed to the hospital.

The death of the youth leader led to social unrest in the area, as youths stormmed the scene and beat the policeman to comma.

Community News learnt that the deceased was just recruited by the Lagos State Police Command hence, was bold to claim 'staff'.

It will be recalled that uniform men in Lagos dont usually pay transport fare as they always  claim to be staff.

Youth in Abule Oki took to the streets for two days and it took the intervention of a police patrol team led by Deputy Commissioner of Police, (Operation), Mr Sobulo, before normalcy could be restored.

Meanwhile, a community leader in the area, Alhaji Ash Tajudeen,  has blamed failure of the government both at the state and local levels to provide employment for the youths for the unrest.

Alhaji Tajudeen lamented that youth could easily be used for violence because they were idle.

“We would continue to witness unrest unless there is jobs for the people. Lots of youths are jobless and they are ready made tools for devils. Government  must be ready to provide jobs and empower the youths. You see, the unrest that broke out in the area was caused by failure of the victim to pay N50:00 transport fare. If people are empowered, things would change.”

Alhaji Tajudeen also implored parents to always warn their children about the danger of taking the law into their hands.

Some residents of Nsukka have described as evil and an abominable  act the alleged  raping  old women by some recalcitrant youths in Opi, Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Mr Chris Ogbonna, a resident, said that he was shocked and confused when he heard that boys within the age bracket of 14 years and 17 years were raping women of between 60 years and 80 years in Opi.

Ogbonna told newsmen in Nsukka recently that “it is an abomination, as well as something that will tingle every ear that hears it.

“I wonder why they rape women of their mothers’ and grandmothers’ ages.

“Community leaders should rise up to put this infantile madness to immediate stop, as well as ensure that the culprits are brought to justice.”

Another resident, Mrs Onyinye Urama, also said that she almost shed tears when she read the report from a newspaper publication.

“What could have gone wrong with these youths to the extent of engaging in such an abominable act.

“The one that seriously touched me was that of a 70-year-old blind woman, who was also raped, and later died after three weeks.

“I imagined the physical and psychological pains of theses women while the rape lasted.

“I commend ‘Umuadaigbo’ Women group, who had intervened to stop this evil, as well as ensure that perpetrators are brought to book,” she said.

A Pastor with God is Divine Ministry, Mr Chibuzo Ike, said that the boys were possessed by evil spirit, noting that the land of Opi needed serious deliverance to avert the wrath of God.

He said that the land of Opi needed serious prayer, as “this kind of abomination is capable of affecting development.”

“If the culprits are not delivered from this evil, their wives in future might find it difficult to bear children.

“I suspect they are in serious cult and the rape may be for a ritual purpose. Parents should always be careful about the type of persons their children associate with,” he said.

When contacted, Mr Ebere Amarizu, the Enugu State Police Public Relation! Officer (PPRO), said the matter was not reported to police directly, rather to an NGO that brought it to the attention of the police.

“Police are investigating the matter, but the matter was not reported to us directly, it was an NGO that drew our attention to it,” he said.

On whether any arrest had been made, Amarizu could not confirm if any arrest had been made, but said that police investigation was on.
