BlackBigBlog: Update On The Killing Of A Motorist Mr Amobi Igwe By A Civil Defence officer in the person of SIC Eke Richard At Toll Gate Umuikaa Junction.
By: Onwuasoanya Ugonna
The Nigerian Security and Civil defence corp has maliciously issued a press statement in defence that the motorist they murdered yesterday speed off dangerously when they tried to stop him and skidded over the barricade and brush the officer with his car which led the officer to fire him with his life-ammunition. However, the deceased Mr Amobi Igwe from Ebonyi State was also accused not to be carrying food items whereas the evidence of his food items were still in the trunk of the car at the time of the incident amidst of this global pestilence.
How not to lie by the men of NSCDC in their rejoinder for their gross misconduct to misinform the general public and to cover-up their barbaric, ungodly, unlawful and inhuman extra-judicial killing of an innocent man leaving the deceased family in a pitiable situation.
The men of NSCDC spewed the biggest lie from the pit of hell, of what moral justification do they have to shoot unarmed civilian driving alone without any form of criminality[color=#000000].[/color]
Hitherto, the men of the NSCDC has been over exercising their powers ranging from excessive extortion from motorist and dehumanizing them.
The innocent motorist wasn't the only one plying on that road as at that time of which the lockdown law in Abia did not Ban motorist carrying food items from operating but due to the hungry-trigger devil incarnate in uniform was thirsty of blood he now have to swiftly murder the man for refusal to Roger (Bribe) him for passage.
We demand for justice. Enough is Enough.
They should make him sit beside an Empty bottle. Then target that empty bottle, shoot him. And kill him.

Wisdomkosi: "We're Abandoned by Umahi" - Say Families of 10 Killed by Men in Army Uniform in Ebonyi
The People of Ndiagu Orie Umuogudu Akpu, Ngbo, in Ohaukwu local Government Area of Ebonyi State have revealed that the State government under the leadership of Governor David Nweze Umahi has abandoned them following an attack by men in military uniforms.
Igbere TV had reported that no fewer than ten (10) persons were on Wednesday, March 10, killed and property worth millions of naira destroyed in Ndiagu Orie, Umugudu Akpu Ngbo community in Ohaukwu local government area of Ebonyi State.
Speaking with Igbere TV, one of the affected families, Mr. Ugadu Ezekiel who lost his Uncle, Aunt and property worth millions said since the attack, the government hasn't even sent a delegate to come and see what happened.
"The men in military uniform invaded our community in March and started shooting, Killing people."
"They killed two of my uncles, burnt three of my houses, together with one big barn of yam".
"At the other side of the village, they killed one of my Uncles, his two wives and his sister, making them four."
"And since then, the government hasn't even sent a delegate to come and see what happened in that place."
"Even our so called Senator representing the Ebonyi North, Senator Sam Egwu hasn't even sent a delegate to come and see the people he is representing."
"And the worse part of it now is that our people are living in serious fear because the government has not asked about their situation."
"To even eat is difficult for our people because everything has gone in one day."
"The State government hasn't come to our rescue and on that process still coming to arrest our people. Many of our people are in government’s custody. We don't know we did".
"Everybody is on the run because the villages are still open for more attack which is not good," he said.
Also speaking with Igbere TV, another victim who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity revealed that the Governor has not done anything in order to cushion the effect caused by the deadly attack.
"The Governor has not done anything following the attack in our community that led to the death of many of our sons and daughters".
"Apart from sending security operatives to come and snap pictures of the area after the attack, nothing has been done."
"Security has not been beefed up and the whole place been deserted because of fear of the unknown".
"No relief materials from the governor yet as I am speaking with you," he said.
As at the time of filing this report, effort by Igbere TV correspondent to speak with the Hon. Commissioner for Internal Security, Border Peace and Conflict Resolution, Stanley Okoro Emegha proved abortive as calls and text messages sent to his known phone number were not replied.
*Relief Materials From Indigenous Catholic Priests*
However, Igbere TV has gathered that the silence by the State's government has been broken by an intervention from some Ngbo-ejeogu indigenous Catholic priests, as they have supplied relief materials to the affected families.
The assistance which included cash gifts, according to the Chairman Catholic Men's Organisation, Immaculate Catholic Church Ndiagu Orie, Mr Daniel Oge, were gestures towards assuaging the feelings of the affected families, as well as reduce their difficulties.
According to Mr Oge, the relief items which came from a firebrand Priest, Reverend Father, John Odey, Fr. Peter Azi, and Rev. Fr. Gabriel Owoh in representation of others were offered for families of slain indigenes as well as those whose property were damaged during the March, 10 invasion.
hotmediatv: Some policemen were left running for their lives after being attacked by angry youths in Nkpor, over the killing of a young man in an unprovoked encounter earlier today.
Videos shared online earlier, showed youths marching down to a police station before an attack was launched on some police officers.
Anambra Police Command spokesperson, Mr Haruna Mohamed confirmed that some members of a police patrol team were attacked by the youths. He said an unprovoked attack was launched against a Police patrol team, with a substance suspected to be acid.
Haruna further told newsmen that “efforts are ongoing to restore sanity in the area”.
How can you restore Sanity when you all are mad.
I see Anarchy and chaos that will lead to revolution coming!
ZetaBeta: What if she stepmother decides to counter revenge only to do something nastier this time, that can maybe lead to death of the child? Don't start something you can't finish
She is just a stepmother!! The police will force her to sign an undertaken. Anything that happens both the baby and the real mother within specified years she would be rearrested and this time made to face the court of law.
Who even told you people police is arresting alleged abusers these days?
You only want to argue. I just told the writer what I myself do. Nigerian police will almost do "WHATEVER" you want them to do once enough money is involved.
Tiarababy: I'm married with one kid. My husband lost his job when I was seven months pregnant. We are no longer living together. I'm back to my dad's house with my step mom and 4 siblings.
Things are not easy for us here because my step mom hated us from day one. She only cooks for herself, my dad and her children. She don’t give me and my baby and my brother from the same mom food. I have been managing with the little money I get from my husband. I do cook for us to eat that’s a story from another day.
Last week I went to meet with my husband to get money he promised to give me to stock up foods for us during this lock down. I left my baby with my brother only for me to come and meet my brother carrying my baby. She was screaming in pain and when I looked she had burn in her body from her right chest to her right hand. I almost collapsed because I left my baby very fine in good healt.
My brother said my step mom was preparing tea for her kids so she had left the hot water in the pot and my baby fell on the hot water. I got angry at my brother how could he be careless not to watch my baby when he knew our step mom don’t like us. I almost hit him and my step mom didn’t care. She acted like nothing, not even a sorry to me. My dad says I should be quiet accidents do happen and it’s nothing to be angry about. His words really shocked me but what can I do.
What pained me is my little sister of 5 years opened up to me that it was my step mom who poured water on the baby because she caught my baby eating her bread she left and she told her to keep quiet if she tells she will beat her and she pleaded with me not to tell her mum.
I knew she did it because she is very wicked but because I had no proof, I had to be quiet but now her daughter has confirmed she did, I want to deal with her because am so angry seeing my baby in so much pain.
Why pour hot water on a baby just because of bread? I hate her and I want to pour hot water on her too while she sleeps so she can feel the same pain she put my innocent baby.
Should I pour hot water on her too or what is the best way to deal with this witch?
Get her arrested. But first bribe the police men so they can beat hell out of her first.
I do that always. They will report that she is resisting arrest with a weapon and they had to overpower her the best way they can.

Mzflexydeeva: ADDRESS BY H.E. MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ON THE EXTENSION OF COVID- 19 PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN AT THE STATE HOUSE, ABUJA MONDAY, 13TH APRIL, 2020
1. Fellow Nigerians
2. In my addresson Sunday, 29th March, 2020, I asked the residents of Lagos and Ogun States as well as the Federal Capital Territory to stay at home for an initial period of fourteen days starting from the Monday, 30th March 2020.
3. Many State Governments also introduced similar restrictions.
4. As your democratically elected leaders, we madethis very difficult decision knowing fully well it will severely disrupt your livelihoods and bring undue hardship to you, your loved ones and your communities.
5. However, suchsacrifices are needed to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our country. They were necessary to save lives.
6. Our objective was, and still remains, to contain the spread of the Coronavirus and to provide space, time and resources for an aggressive and collective action.
7. The level of compliance to the COVID-19guidelines issued has been generally good across the country.I wish to thank you all most sincerely for the great sacrifice you are making for each other at this critical time.
8. I will take this opportunity torecognise the massive support from our traditional rulers, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) during this pandemic.
9. I also acknowledge the support and contributions received from public spirited individuals, the business community and our international partners and friends.
10. I must also thank the media houses, celebrities and other public figures for the great work they are doing in sensitizing our citizens on hygienic practices, social distancing and issues associated with social gatherings.
11. As a result of the overwhelming support and cooperation received, we were able to achieve a lot during these 14 days of initial lockdown.
12. We implemented comprehensive public health measures that intensified our case identification, testing, isolation and contact tracing capabilities.
13. To date, we have identified 92% of all identified contacts while doubling the number of testing laboratories in the country and raising our testing capacity to 1,500 tests per day.
14. We also trained over 7,000 Healthcare workers on infection prevention and control while deploying NCDC teams to 19 states of the federation.
15. Lagos and Abuja today have the capacity to admit some 1,000 patients each across several treatment centres.
16. Many State Governments have also made provisions for isolation wards and treatment centres. We will also build similar centers near our airports and land borders.
17. Using our resources, and those provided through donations, we will adequately equip and man these centres in the coming weeks. Already, health care workers across all the treatment centers have been provided with the personal protective equipment that they need to safely carry out the care they provide.
18. Our hope and prayersare that we do not have to use all these centres. But we will be ready for all eventualities.
19. At this point, I must recognise the incredible work being done by our healthcare workers and volunteers across the country especially in frontline areas of Lagos and Ogun States as well as the Federal Capital Territory.
20. You are our heroes and as a nation, we will forever remain grateful for your sacrifice during this very difficult time. More measures to motivate our health care workers are being introduced which we will announce in the coming weeks.
21. As a nation, we are on the right track to win the fight against COVID-19.
22. However, I remain concerned about the increase in number of confirmedcases and deaths being reported across the world andin Nigeria specifically.
23. On 30th March 2020, when we started our lockdown in conforming with medical and scientific advice,the total number of confirmed cases across the world was over 780,000.
24. Yesterday, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases globally was over one million, eight hundred and fifty thousand. This figure is more than double in two weeks!
25. In the last fourteen days alone, over seventy thousand people have died due to this disease.
26. In the same period, we have seen the health system of even the most developed nations being overwhelmed by this virus.
27. Here in Nigeria, we had 131 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in 12 States on 30th March 2020. We had two fatalities then.
28. This morning, Nigeria had 323 confirmed casesin twenty States. Unfortunately we now haveten fatalities. Lagos State remains thecenter and accounts for 54% of the confirmed cases in Nigeria. When combined with the FCT, the two locations represent over 71% of the confirmed cases in Nigeria.
29. Most of our efforts will continue to focus in these two locations.
30. Majority of the confirmed cases in Lagos and the FCT are individuals with recent international travel history or those that came into contact with returnees from international trips.
31. By closing our airports and land borders and putting strict conditions for seaport activities, we have reduced the impact of external factors on our country. However, the increase in the number of States with positive cases is alarming.
32. The National Centre for Disease Control has informed me that, a large proportion of new infections are now occurring in our communities, through person-to-person contacts. So we must pay attention to the danger of close contact between person to person.
33. At this point, I will remind all Nigerians to continue to take responsibility for the recommended measures to prevent transmission, including maintaining physical distancing, good personal hygiene and staying at home.
34. In addition, I have signed the Quarantine Order in this regard and additional regulations to provide clarity in respect of the control measures for the COVID-19pandemic which will be released soon.
35. The public health response to COVID-19 is built on our ability to detect, test and admit cases as well as trace all their contacts. While I note some appreciable progress, we can achieve a lot more.
36. Today, the cessation of movement, physical distancing measures and the prohibition of mass gatherings remain the most efficient and effective way of reducing the transmission of the virus.By sustaining these measures, combined with extensive testing and contact tracing, we can take control and limit the spread of the disease.
37. Our approach to the virus remains in 2 steps - First, to protect the lives of our fellow Nigerians and residents living here and second, to preserve the livelihoods of workers and business owners.
38. With this in mind and having carefully considered the briefings and Report from the Presidential Task Force and the various options offered, it has become necessary to extend the current restriction of movement in Lagos and Ogun States as well as the FCT for another fourteen days effective from 11:59 pm on Monday, 13th of April, 2020.I am therefore once again asking you all to work with Government in this fight.
39. This is not a joke. It is a matter of life and death. Mosques in Makkah and Madina have been closed. The Pope celebrated Mass on an empty St. Peter’s Square. The famous Notre Dame cathedral in Paris held Easter Mass with less than 10 people. India, Italy and France are in complete lockdown. Other countries are in the process of following suit. We can not be lax.
40. The previously issued guidelines on exempted services shall remain.
41. This is a difficult decision to take, but I am convinced that this is the right decision. The evidence is clear.
42. The repercussions of any premature end to the lockdown action is unimaginable.
43. Wemust not lose the gains achieved thus far. We must not allow a rapid increase in community transmission. We must endure a little longer.
44. I will therefore take this opportunity to urge you all to notify the relevant authorities if you or your loved ones develop any symptoms. I will also ask our health care professionals to redouble their efforts to identify all suspected cases, bring them into care and prevent transmission to others.
45. No country can afford the full impact of a sustained restriction of movement on its economy.I am fully aware of the great difficulties experienced especially by those who earn a daily wage such as traders, dayworkers, artisans and manual workers.
46. For this group, their sustenance depends on their ability to go out. Their livelihoods depend on them mingling with others and about seeking work. But despite these realities we must not change the restrictions.
47. In the past two weeks, we announced palliative measures such as food distribution, cash transfers and loans repayment waivers to ease the pains of our restrictive policies during this difficult time. These palliatives will be sustained.
48. I have also directed that the current social register be expanded from 2.6 million households to 3.6 million households in the next two weeks. This means we will support an additional one million homes with our social investment programs. A technical committee is working on this and will submit a report to mebythe end of this week.
49. The Security Agencies have risen to the challenges posed by this unprecedented situation with gallantry and I commend them. I urge them to continue to maintain utmost vigilance, firmness as well as restraint in enforcing the restriction orders while not neglecting statutory security responsibilities.
50. Fellow Nigerians, follow the instructions on social distancing. The irresponsibility of the few can lead to the death of the many. Your freedom ends where other people’s rights begin.
51. The response of our State Governors has been particularly impressive, especially in aligning their policies and actions to those of the Federal Government.
52. In the coming weeks, I want to assure you that the Federal Government, through the Presidential Task Force, will do whatever it takes to support you in this very difficult period. I have no doubt that, by working together and carefully following the rules, we shall get over this pandemic.
53. I must also thank the Legislative arm of Government for all their support and donations in this very difficult period. This collaboration is critical to the short and long-term success of all the measures that we have instituted in response to the pandemic.
54. As a result of this pandemic, the world as we know it has changed. The way we interact with each other, conduct our businesses and trade, travel, educate our children and earn our livelihoods will be different.
55. To ensure our economy adapts to this new reality, I am directing the Ministers of Industry, Trade and Investment,Communication and Digital Economy,Science and Technology,Transportation, Aviation,Interior,Health, Works and Housing, Labour and Employment andEducation to jointly develop a comprehensive policy for a “Nigerian economy functioning with COVID-19”.
56. The Ministers will be supported by the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and Economic Sustainability Committee in executing this mandate.
57. I am also directing the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, the National Security Adviser, the Vice Chairman, National Food Security Council and the Chairman, Presidential Fertiliser Initiative to work with the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19to ensure the impact of this pandemic on our 2020 farming season is minimized.
58. Finally, I want to thank the members of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 for all their hard work so far. Indeed, the patriotism shown in your work is exemplary and highly commendable.
59. Fellow Nigerians, I have no doubt that by working together and carefully following the rules, we shall get over this pandemic and emerge stronger in the end.
60. I thank you all for listening and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
