Some anti-robbery policemen attached to the
Area E Command headquarters, FESTAC Town, have recovered nine pump-action guns and 42 live cartridges from two suspected robbers.
It was gathered that the policemen recovered the
guns from the two men in the 7th Avenue area of
FESTAC.

The 7th Avenue was where the police and some
commercial motorcycle riders clashed about two
weeks ago, which led to the death of one of the riders.
A resident told our correspondent that the suspects, who escaped arrest, were initially stopped by the policemen on routine patrol for riding an unregistered motorcycle.

The resident, who pleaded not to be named, said,
“It was around 11.15pm when the policemen came to our side on the 7th Avenue and saw the two men on an unregistered motorcycle.
They told the rider to stop and we all thought the police, as usual, wanted to extort money from the two men. “But as the policemen moved near them, the men jumped down from the okada and fled into the
night.
When the policemen searched a bag they left behind, they found some guns; about seven I think.”

A police source at the area command also told our correspondent that the policemen were on a routine anti-crime patrol.
He said, “The policemen sighted the men on the
7th Avenue. They were on an unregistered motorcycle and carried a large bag. When challenged by the policemen, the men suddenly abandoned their ride and their bag, and took to their heels.

“The policemen later searched the bag and found
nine pump-action guns and 42 live cartridges.
“We have told the Commissioner of Police, Fatai
Owoseni, and he ordered a detailed investigation
into the case. Also, patrol has been intensified in
the area.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe
Offor, said the recovery of the guns was a direct result of the CP’s meeting with all Area Commanders and Division Police Officers, where he charged them to fine tune their crime prevention strategies.
He said, “The CP has commended the area command and urged them to intensify efforts to arrest the fleeing suspects. He also urged residents to give useful information to the police to prevent crime.”

She said, “Police investigations are ongoing on
the matter. However, there is a civil case in court
by some group to seek an injunction to resist the
police on further investigation. Police are waiting
for court’s decision on the case.”

Father of five, Mumini Muritala, 40, who lived at Omilabu Area of Odinjo, was reportedly beaten to death on Friday night, following a quarrel between him and his landlord’s son, Yusuf Adegbayi, Sunday Tribune has learnt.

Wife of the deceased, Mrs Shakirat Muritala, who spoke with Sunday Tribune at a nearby hospital, said that she had just sent her daughter, Barakat, out to buy her food, when the landlord’s sons, Yusuf and his brother, Habeeb Adegbayi, locked the main door to the house around 9.pm, an action which later caused uproar between her and the landlord’s sons.

“When my husband and daughter came back home, Yusuf and Habeeb went inside their rooms, but my husband went to them to enquire why they locked the door so quickly.

“This resulted in a heated argument and Yusuf slapped my husband. My husband wanted to retaliate, but the two boys pounced on him and beat him blue abd black.

“Later, Yusuf came back and hit my husband with an occultic ring he said he would use on him. Suddenly, my husband turned around and fell on the ground. We rushed him to the hospital, but he later gave up,” the wife said.

However, when the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Oyo State was contacted, he told Sunday Tribune that the suspect had fled, but efforts were ongoing to nab him, while his father, the landlord, was in police custody at the Idi Aro police station, from where the case would be transferred to the State Criminial and Intelligence Department for discrete investigation.

He, however, used the opportunity to warn those who would like to engage in criminal acts to desist henceforth.

There were strong indications that the recent
audience between President Muhammadu Buhari and former President Olusegun Obasanjo centred on national issues, especially the choice of ministers.

It was gathered that Buhari opened up to Obasanjo on the criteria for choosing his ministers.
It was learnt that the president said he was thinking of trying “new hands” instead of recycling the same old ones.
But findings confirmed that the president may send the list of ministers to the National Assembly in batches because of the likely merger of some ministries, departments and agencies.

The first batch is likely to meet the September
deadline set by the president.
Investigation by our correspondent revealed that the meeting between the two leaders focused on what Buhari had done in the last 100 days, the challenges at hand, and the composition of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

A highly-placed source said: “Apart from other
national issues, the president took time to explain the criteria he will be using to appoint his ministers. He said he might try new hands instead of using the same set of people that had served Nigerians.

“He also said anyone with tainted records or with issues on corruption may not get a slot in his cabinet. I think he is on the same page with Obasanjo on the anti-corruption agenda.
“The president restated why he would need a team to fix basic things in the country.”

Responding to a question, the source said: “Buhari did not mention any name on the cabinet list to Obasanjo but he spoke on the benchmarks for would-be appointees and those he won’t accept.”

After the closed door session, ex-President Obasanjo refused to speak with newsmen at the Presidential Villa.
When pressed to respond to reporters’ enquiry,
Obasanjo said: “Comot joo” (go away).”

According to a reliable source, the president may name the cabinet in phases because of the likely merger of some ministries, departments and agencies in line with the recommendations of the Ahmed Joda
Transition Committee.

It was learnt that the president might name ministers for key portfolios like Petroleum Resources, Finance, Works, Aviation, Health, and Justice.
The source added: “The president is ready to keep to the September deadline but one of the options on the card is to name ministers in batches because of the likely merger of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

“For instance, the Ministry of Special Duties is likely to be scrapped because it is only being used for constituency projects and other questionable contracts.

“Rather than keeping the nation waiting, the list may go to the National Assembly in batches.”
When contacted last night, the Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Mallam Garba Shehu, who was about boarding a flight to Paris, said:
“Honestly, I do not have any latest information on the appointment of new ministers.”

The Nation had exclusively reported that the
president is on the final lap of consultations on his cabinet.
It was still unclear if the president will reduce the size of the cabinet from 42 to 36 or a lower figure.

Section 147(1-3) directs the President to appoint at least 36 ministers unless the constitution is amended.
The section reads: “There shall be such offices of Ministers of the Government of the Federation as may be established by the President.

“Any appointment to the office of Minister of the Government of the Federation shall, if the
nomination of any person to such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President.

“Any appointment under subsection (2) of this
section by the President shall be in conformity with the provisions of section 14(3) of this
Constitution: “Provided that in giving effect to the
Provisions aforesaid the President shall appoint at least one Minister from each state, who shall be an indigene of such state.”

The Federal Government has disclosed that General TY Danjuma would supervise every presidential interventions and inItiatives aimed to rehabilitate Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the nation.

Vice President, ‎Prof. Yemi Osinbajo revealed this Saturday at the Northern Reawakening Forum ‎organised to rebuild the 19 northern states affected by the insurgency.

Osinbanjo said there was need for a unilateral approach to streamline all interventions including the Presidential Initiative on IDPs for better impact.

The Vice President, who stated that about 10 northern states remained the most poorest in the country, emphasised that the new administration is committed to repair the damages.

He said the social safety nets, Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), one meal daily for school children should be top priority among all the interventions, stressing that the north bears most consequence of poverty.

Osinbajo said: “We have been working on interventions in the north east due to immediacy of the crisis in that axis but the problem of diseases and poverty were excercebated by the boko haram insurgency…..close detailed, analysis and plans on the north east has been done in collaboration with some development organisations.

“We have government interventions such as presidential initiative on the north east, victims support group among others. Now all of the federal government initiatives ‎are now under the chairmanship of General TY Danjuma. We hope that streamlining these efforts this way will help control immediate deliveries of succor to many of the problems currently in the north east.

“In 19 northern states of Nigeria, human development indices showed they are by far poorer than other parts of the country. The Northern states occupy 70 per cent of our land mass, the highest infant mortality rate, the lowest number of children in school, the highest number of unemployed young people and the challenge of insecurity and religious crisis including Boko Haram.

“‎A nation of 170 million people, the sixth largest producer of oil, over a 100 variety of solid minerals and precious metals, thousands of arable land, largest economy in Africa yet desperately poor, over 110 million people extremely poor. Maternal mortality has taken over 55, 000 people in a year,” Osinbajo added.

However, he said there was urgent need to rehabilitate the victims and integrate them back to their original homes.

Earlier, Chairman of the forum, Hon. Mohammed Umara regretted that the north west and north east records the highest death rate of infants born within the first 28 days.

He said the region also records lowest literacy level, adding that poverty rate in 16 from 19 northern states have ‎doubled since 1980.

However, he disclosed that the forum was organised to restore traditional values of peaceful co-existence between different religious, tribes and promote political and socio-economic development in the region.

Umara expressed optimism the forum would help address challenges of poor educational standard.

In his remark, the Borno State Governor, Alh. Kashim Shettima called for prompt sustainable development programmes in the northern states.

[quote]Shetima said the governors had agreed to. Work together to redevelopment the region.

The governor urged federal government to develop an all inclusive development plan to really address all challenges of the state and restore peoples’ hopes.

“A comprehensive master plan that will help re-integrate the people and seek entire development of the northern Nigeria should be designed,” Shettima added.

“Since that day, I have caught him on top of me
many times than I can count. He never says
anything. When I wake up, I just push him away
and he goes back to sleep. I usually tell him, that
Daddy, this is an abomination. But still, he
continues doing it.

“Sometimes I only know he had done something
to me when I wake up and feel pain in my private
part. Other times, I just know when I see sperm
coming out of my private part.”

(NDLEA) has arrested a suspected drug baron, Chief Odugwe Joseph Azubuike over unlawful importation of 1.025kg of cocaine.
