As a lawyer, the accused is more like a legal expert, he's hardly the custodian of the law that title belongs more to the enforcers of the law (police & judges).

A 50-year old female politician, Mrs. Ronke
Adelugba, was on Sunday night allegedly beaten
to death in her house in Akure, the Ondo State
capital, by policemen who allegedly invaded her
house in search of a suspected criminal.

The woman, who was until her death the Woman
Leader of the Accord Party (AP) in Ward 5, Akure
South Local Government Area, was allegedly hit
with a gun butt and beaten by two of the seven
policemen who came to her house after an
argument with her.

The seven policemen, who came in a white police
Hilux van with registration umber NPF 4236 B,
had stormed the house located at No. 1,
Akinyemi Street, off Ijoka Road, Akure, after
searching a nearby bush for some boys believed
to be smoking Indian hemp in the area.
Unable to find anybody in the bush, the policemen then headed to Mrs. Adelugba’s house to see if the boys were hiding there.
However, an argument ensued, with Mrs. Adelugba insisting that only her own children were in her three bedroom house.
Insisting that she would not let her children be
arrested without any explanation or warrant, Mrs
Adelugba was shoved, beaten and hit with a gun
butt and in the process slumped and died.

The policemen then allegedly fled the scene after
the residents of the area gathered but the residents later carried the lifeless body of the woman to the Ala Police Station where the policemen came from.

Crisis is brewing in a Lagos Catholic school after a woman who had worked for nine years in the school as teacher was sacked for going on maternity leave and was paid N2 ,500 ( about $12 ) as her severance benefit in Ejigbo, Lagos state , western Nigeria .
Parents of pupils of the school under the umbrella of Parents Teachers Association , PTA , protested the sack and demanded her immediate reinstatement and full payment of her benefits.

The woman, Mrs . Cynthia Patrick, who resides at 12 , Folawiyo Street , Ejigbo, was employed as a primary school teacher by the management of St Peters Primary School, Ejigbo years ago.
She was on N10, 000 monthly salary and when she was eventually sacked, she was paid N2, 500 as her entitlement despite the fact she did not owe or borrow money from the school .
While she was working there , she got married and became pregnant and applied for maternity leave to deliver her baby, which was granted to her.
However , during her delivery , there was complication and doctors asked her to rest before resuming for work, and she informed the school authorities in writing .

She said she was surprised when she resumed work and was given a letter terminating her appointment.
The letter was signed by the director of the school , Rev . Father Mathew Ogunyase .
She said the matter was made worse after they paid her N2, 500 as her severance package .
The embittered woman said she was surprised by the way she was treated despite the fact that she was among the pioneer teachers who worked hard for the progress of the school .
Mrs Patrick said she was traumatized by the treatment meted out to her .

Her sack has caused friction between parents of pupils in the school and the management . The parents have insisted that the injustice against the woman must be addressed.
Confirming the development, the Chairman of PTA, Mr. Okwudili Ude , said when the woman was narrating what happened, he did not believe until he went to the school to make inquiry.
He said he was surprised that the management
confirmed what the woman said and he had to call other parents to inform them .
He explained their intervention was because they are critical stakeholders of the school .
Ude also said if the management refuses to meet the PTA ’ s demand , they will embark on protest to draw the attention of the authorities especially the Catholic Bishop to the matter.
Some of the parents who spoke to our
correspondent said the whole thing was embarrassing and said they were determined to speak on behalf of the hapless woman.
When our reporter made efforts to contact the
school ’ s director , Rev Ogunyase , he was said to have travelled abroad on vacation leave. However , the management confirmed the development and explained that the school had a set of rules and regulations guiding the disengagement of members of staff, adding that it was in line with such rules that Cynthia was paid N2, 500 as her severance package .
They said they have no power to address the issue.

Was that why you had to refer to the female gender as dullards and blockheads. Not fair in my opinion.
Besides, whether palms, papers, clothe, privates, all are forms of exam malpractice and should be discouraged.

The Israelis reportedly left the country on the eve of the general elections, but will be summoned
by the probe panel to appear before it.

The government has directed that tight security
be provided for members of the panel.
The assignment is comprehensive. It will run
through many administrations.

Motorists were on Saturday stranded at the Ekori/Obubra end of the Calabar-Ikom-Ogoja highway in Cross River State following the blockage of traffic by a fallen trailer.

Southern City News gathered on Sunday that among those stranded was the State Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, who was on his way to his hometown, Obudu, for a thanksgiving service.

It was learnt that after attempts to clear the way failed, the governor and his entourage, had to make a detour through another route to get to his destination.

No fewer than 20 trailers and 60 other vehicles were trapped in the ensuing gridlock as they could not leave the vicinity until the road was cleared in the early hours of Sunday.

A stranded commuter, Benjamin Uche, described the bad state of the road as an apology to a state that prides itself as a tourist destination.

Uche said despite an allegation that the trailer driver did not observe caution when passing through the bad spot, the road had become a threat to road users.

“We got to this spot as early as 8am on Saturday and blocked the only good portion of the road. We became stranded as more vehicles and trailers came. The scene became rowdy when the governor and his entourage also joined us for a while.

“The security men tried to clear the way but it was obvious that they could not. They had to reverse to take another route. I do not know where they took but it was obvious they knew it was not a security matter.

“This road had remained like this in the last eight years. They will only just patch some portions during the dry season and when the rain comes it goes back to this bad state.

“The government is aware of the deplorable state of this federal road and nothing is being done to rebuild the road that was constructed nearly 40 years ago. It is a disgrace to Cross River State because we are known to pride ourselves as tourist destination. Is bad road part of what tourism is all about? Cross River State should answer that question for us,” he said.

It took the intervention of the Itigidi Unit of the Federal Road Safety Corps, following an order from the State Sector Commander, Mr. Ikechukwu Igwe, to clear the road, 18 hours after.

Confirming the development, Igwe told Southern City News the intervention of his men saved the situation, even as he lamented that the trailer that blocked the road was not road worthy as the tyres were incomplete.

Igwe urged motorists to be patient when they get to bad spots on the road, hinting that the trailer driver was probably impatient when he got to the bad spot.

“Road users should please, exercise patience when they get to bad spots. They should equally ensure that their vehicles are roadworthy before they pass through this type of road. The road got blocked completely because of the impatience of other road users.

“That was why vehicles got stranded and the road became impassable. This thing happened on Friday night and the road was eventually cleared on Sunday morning. I had to come from Calabar to ensure that the road was cleared,” Igwe said
