There was chaos yesterday at a Chinese company in the Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone located at the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, as some aggrieved casual workers set ablaze one of the company’s vehicles and destroyed two others.

Following the widely criticized style of distribution of palliatives to cushion the COVID-19 lockdown effect, the Federal Government announced new criteria to be examined before cash would be transferred to Nigerians.

On Tuesday, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Sadiya Umar, announced that the Buhari administration considered Nigerians who buy N100 call credit as poor and would ensure they get money.

She disclosed that urban poor dwellers with an account balance of N5,000 or less will be among the beneficiaries of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) scheme.

Farouq explained that aside from the National Social Register, Bank Verification Numbers (BVN), record of purchase of airtime by mobile phone owners was part of the yardsticks.

“We are also using the mobile network, people that top up their phones with maybe N100, N200. These are the people we consider to be poor and vulnerable,’’ the minister added.

Interestingly, it was the first time the government was mentioning BVNs in nearly one month since the lockdown went into effect in several sectors of the economy.

The government, at different press briefings and statements, focused on distribution of physical cash and food items, ignoring the easier and safer route of direct payments.

This led to condemnations by Nigerians and groups who said the CCT policy was enmeshed in fraud and demanding the list of beneficiaries.

On Wednesday, Bola Tinubu, national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, added his voice to the BVN option.

“Payments can be made quickly by using the BVNs of prospective recipients to make direct deposits into individual bank accounts. This will encourage those without bank accounts to establish such accounts.

“This process will bring millions of people into formal banking. It will also be safer and not lead to the types of violence and crime that might follow physical cash transfers,” Tinubu noted.

Farouq’s comments triggered heavy backlash as Nigerians are wondering the basis for the criteria.

DAILY POST reports that the guidelines generated hundreds of comments; more than 95 percent of the respondents declared their opposition to the conditions.

Some reactions below:

Kogi state Commissioner for Water Resources , Abdulmumuni Danga, has brutalised and allegedly raped a lady for calling him out on Facebook.

The lady, identified as Elizabeth, had urged the commissioner on Facebook to assist his sister and family financially.

The post did not go down well with Danga, who hired thugs to kidnap Elizabeth from her home with her three-year-old son.

Speaking with SaharaReporters, Elizabeth said she decided to make the post following series of complaints by the commissioner’s sister to her.



She said, “I saw a post by a local comedian of the commissioner sharing food and his family are complaining that he doesn’t attend to them, that was why I made the post.

“On the 29th of March, I made a post about the commissioner.

“After making the post, they started attacking me on social media and he sent some guys to come and get me.

“On getting to me, they flogged me. He flogged me himself, stripped me naked and made a video of me threatening to post it when next I make any public comment about it.

They also made me apologise that what I said about him was not true under duress. I had to do so because they were all over me.

“The commissioner also smashed my phone and destroyed it totally, saying that maybe I might have been recording what was happening or I have been recording before getting there.”

In a video of the apology sighted by SaharaReporters, it could be seen that Elizabeth and the commissioner’s sister were both teary while being recorded.

Narrating how the commissioner raped her, Elizabeth said that he held her captive and took her to a hotel at night where he forcefully had sex with her.

“He did not release me and took me to a hotel nearby. Over the night, he made advances and raped me.”

Leading the demand for justice for the victim is Dorothy Njemanze, a rights advocate.

She said that a coalition of human rights organisations had been set-up to ensure that the victim gets justice and duly compensated.

She also called for the immediate suspension of the commissioner from the cabinet of the Kogi State governor.

She said, “The lady was brutalised and was also sexually violated before released the next day. We are going all out for justice.”

The commissioner was not available for comments at the time this report was published as calls placed to his mobile lines went unanswered.

Ugbuwangue, community in Delta state, was thrown into Chaos as youths attacked soldiers after a young man in the community was shot dead for disobeying the lockdown order.



The victim, Joseph Pessu, a father-of-two, was shot dead today by a soldier at Ada Val Arenyenka street, along the Ugbuwangue axis of the NPA Expressway, Warri, Delta state.
