wike asking tambuwal to liase with him is like satan asking angel Gabriel to partner with him to reclaim Gods throne, Tambuwal is a staunch supporter of ATIKU.

Wike supported Tambuwal the last time that it was the turn of Northerners.

Why can't Tambuwal return the favour now that it is the turn of Southerners??

History555:
People should ask with thousands of checkpoints in anambra, how come all these attacks. How are these murderers evading all the checkpoints. Something is going on which the fed govt is involved.

Which something? When the police stations and check points were being attacked and policemen killed, some locals were praising the gun men.

They were even bragging that the SE is now free from the extortionist police checkpoints. It now seems this freedom is a bitter water.

People with foresight were shouting that it is a recipe for disaster, but myopic people fueled by hate and bigotry thought it was a loss to Buhari.

When prison was broken and hardened inmates set free, reasonable people were screaming that this is going to lead to a terrible outcome. No civilised community takes jail break with levity, except the folks here in SE naija, everybody was happy and smiling and saying "good, the FG is being punished."

The result is here for all to see.

Which policeman will risk his life at a checkpoint for you?...even when same people will gloat over his death if attacked.

VladimirPutiin:
Osinbajo can’t be VP for 8 years, then become President for straight 8 years again. It won’t happen.

But it can happen for Atiku right?

It can happen for all the govs that did 8yrs and also want to be president.

Oga, there's no point in this your utterance.

Akeredolu, the no-nonsense governor.

crossbreedwears:
That's because the Colonel doesn't know his right and he's not a Regular officer. I trust my Regulars, they will wa wa Fashola like a baby and nothing will happen. The highest that can happen is to post the Colonel out

Stories. He should have tried it now and know if something will happen or not.

Is the governor of Bornu not regularly harshly meting out criticism to senior officers at the war theater. Have they been able to behave unruly to him??

Oga, Nigeria is moving away from the banana Republic you and your likes thrive.

Power is transient. Where are those supposedly powerful officers in the past in the current scheme of things?

I can boldly tell you till today, Fashola has more clout and levels locally and internationally than that officer he confronted. Where's the officer today? Do people even know his name?

All officers are mere servants of the Republic to be used and let go after a while. All officers eventually understands this at their retirement.

Awoo88:

The guy did not do shit to Wike. He did some shit but not to Wike. What Wike directive did he disregard? Please tell me direct confrontation he had with Wike?

Then why was Wike always complaining to the media about one OC Sars Fakorede?

I have watched a number of videos where the Gov was complaining bitterly about the guy.

If he was power over the guy, why didn't he just chase him away instead of the media complaints??

crossbreedwears:
Colonel Kayode is a disgrace to the armed forces when he saluted Fashola. If it was a Regular tit arm officer, he will white wash fashola and there is nothing he will do about it. I so much believe The Foolish Colonel sold his right

That's a Colonel that understands power play.

Fashola is respected all over the country and a call to the president to complain about the behaviour of the officer can earn him and his CO reprimand or even transfer to a less desirable place.

So all the military saluting a civilian president are also a disgrace right?

It is Is idiotic opinions like this that portrays and makes Nigeria an animal kingdom where civility is absent.

Yet, you people will still be envying well run civilised Nations abroad.

Which civilised nation will a senior military officer commit an offence in front of cameras and will still be behaving like a thug/dog without brain and he will not get sanctioned?? Only in an animal kingdom or a nation in tatters.

The military authorities in Nigeria did well to sanction the officer.

You don't build a society with this animalistic mentality of yours. Laws must be adhered to by everybody.

Ordinary Dubai here, everyone is well behaved and adheres to all traffic laws including the Royals same with other well run monarchical states.

But in Nigeria, small authority delegated to someone for a short time, will be making him feel invincible. Where's the so called Col today? I won't be surprised if he has retired.

Can any of your Generals commit ordinary traffic offence in UK or US and raise their voice? They will be handcuffed and thrown into the back of a patrol car.

Yet in Nigeria, you people will be encouraging lawlessness.

tesppidd:
Indeed sensational journalism and mischievous comments too..

Sahara Reporters purposely tweaked the headline to generate the uproar.

Sensational journalism is their stock in trade.

And trust short-sighted emotional Nigerians to fall for the bait.

I loved your comments. Silly people hero-worshipping thuggery from Wike.

wamide042:
See as my Gov dey speak English… haa, i trust Wike or the former Gov. Ayodele Fayose… their voice and body language lasan.. na immediately IG go call to vacate the place..

Are you in this country?

Fayose that was crying on camera that police beat him and he can't raise his hand anymore.

linearity:


The Governor’s position is weak, thanks to the way the Federal System is operated in Nigeria and the Governor knows this, hence he is technically pleading.

Agreed, he is the CSO of the State, but he need that same Inspector General of Police’s blessings to retain his security details, he knows that one phone call all the Police giving him security will withdraw to the barracks, so he need to be careful.

Hence the argument for State Police and decentralization of power from the Center to Stated or regions is very important, that is the only the way Federating system works.

Imagine the impunity for the AGN to seat in Abuja and using his office to intervene on land issue in state, when the constitution clearly give that power to the State Government.

The supreme Court has given an order. It has now become a federal issue.

Sanwo-Olu has no business interrupting enforcement of lawful orders.

erniok:

The delay is very unnecessary. The government is continuum and they should have seen this day coming and made provisions for it by maybe relocating the residents to lekki or another highbrow area. I was only concerned about the interest of the AGF in the matter.

But the AGF is the Chief Law Officer of the Country.

The Executive is to execute all duties of govt.

If the Supreme Court (Judiciary) has given an order, it must be obeyed and nothing is bad in the AGF ensuring it is.

erniok:

This made me laugh. You're wrong in some ways, there are state jurisdictions that federal enforcement agencies don't cross. In US, the governor is in charge of state police like LAPD, NYPD, etc.
In this incident, the federal unit has no jurisdiction and that's why the issue is between state government, landlords and magodo residents. I'm yet to understand the interest of the AGF in this matter. Maybe in the coming days it's crystallize.

The police are there to enforce a Supreme court judgement.

Sanwo-Olu is trying to intimidate the officer in the carrying out of his duties.

The state government has lost the case at the Supreme Court, why delaying execution?

agabaI23:
Are you not contradicting yourself?

Every crime was blamed on them.

So there was an agreement to stop blaming every crime on them since the rains stopped and they moved else?

Or it is a coincidence that the rains stopped and they moved elsewhere and the violence stopped?

Even if the rains stopped, the chances of getting greener grasses is still more in the south.

Ofodirinwa:
ESN

Has the ESN caught any Herdsmen so far?

Whois:
You mean you haven't noticed 122 police squad aka RRS police have changed thier duty/hobbies under sanwo Olu, they prefer to patrol brt lines to arrest scape goat and they prefer to catch jjc drivers that don't know roads that are now one way.

All public services in Nigeria have lost focus. They need to re-train all of them inaddition to strict and swift application of disciplinary processes against misdemeanours.

The situation is crazy. Its all man for himself, whatever you can grab by virtue of the public services being rendered, grab.

The whole country is in a mess.

Be it police, Immigration, FRSC, FIRS, LIRS, infact all of them.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

We are wicked, mean blackmailers who will use whatever position of authority or advantage to bully and extort others.

OP is right. The situation of motorists in Lagos has made me almost lose all hope of Nigeria becoming a civilised entity.

Damn! The chaos on that road is unbelievable.

A bus will run red light and will still be cussing at you who has right of way. Its just unbelievable.

It's Total madness and chaos.

Passengers are not even left out of the stupidity.

Instead of going into a bus stop, they will instead stay on the road. you'll see bus stops few metres from them, but laziness will never allow them walk there. Nigerians are lazy! The so called western world do a lot of walking, but here, our laziness has made okada very important.

The transporters are crazy ass people who will only stop to pick passengers wherever they are.

The govt needs to change their strategy of chasing after errant bus drivers stopping at unapproved places on the road.

They should instead start arresting the people waiting to board buses and others at unapproved places. Especially, those that have bustops near them.

Abagworo:
This story is fake and nothing more. The villagers are available to verify from

Why will you simply tag it fake news without any counter evidence?

Arise TV reported this same thing.

Channels is reporting it.

The Governor himself is saying it. Why will a governor go to that extent if not for the criticality of the situation?

The videos are also all over the place.

Yet, you are saying it is fake and telling us to go ask the villagers. As a concerned indigene, why not go there to conduct the interview and give us feedback?

Nchenches:


Canibal was used as a speech pattern to condemn the kidnappers, not that they were described as eaters of human flesh.

You are poorly educated. You couldn't even understand speech format.

By the way, the violence in Imo state was man-made, right from when a Supreme court imposed a governor on the state.

They were actually described as eaters of human flesh.

Did you not see the video? Why burn and smoke human parts and then hang them over smoke to preserve? Different parts like laps, head, chest areas, etc.

Go and watch the video. Even the security agents were just in exclamation of shock at what was uncovered. There was also a video of the big well-like excavation they throw their victims. Headless bodies were there. With both fresh and bodies that have started decomposing.

This is terrible and should be condemned by all, while the security agents should be commended. I can't imagine what those people killed would have gone through. These are peoples fathers, uncles brothers, husbands, etc.

And why are you sort of talking for the kidnappers? Are you their spokesperson?

BeardedShaman:


Well thank you for the correction but I can't tell if you're for the government or against them. Those cameras as you know would've have provided some evidence however little in this case. And like I said, there are simply too many coincidences for anyone to think this is natural.

Need i remind you that the army denied ever being involved in the protest, calling it fake news at first. When video evidence surfaced that they were, the narrative was changed to "we were there but didn't shoot". Not until news of people injured in the protest ground began to emerge did they finally settle on "Ok we shot but they were blanks". Why go through the stress of lying if they did nothing wrong?

It's not about 'For or against' just want balanced reporting devoid of falsehoods.

The cameras removed are vehicle plate number readers and not CCTV. It should be reported as such.

There was CCTV capture of the events of the evening before there was total power shutdown.

It was played to the panel during the sitting. It's all over YouTube. Go and watch it there, which clearly shows they were not the ones removed earlier. So stop regurgitating that line.

Curious345:
Is it true? I heard toll fares are currently collected at the lekki tollgate..

Is this true?

No, not true

BeardedShaman:
My take on this lil stunt is that we've all been fooled into seeing a brilliantly scripted play by the FG, clever move I must say. The same culprits responsible for what transpired that night set up the panel to cover up their tracks. I don't have the evidence but here's why I know people lost their lives that night:

1. The events leading up to the massacre
I. Some of the CCTV cameras at the toll gates were taken off for no logical reason
Ii. Soldiers were deployed to quell a protest!
III. The lights at the toll gates mysteriously shut off (coincidence? I think not) just before the carnage ensured.

2. The post massacre event
I. The army gave three contradictory statements on their involvement; first they were quick to deny being there, calling it fake news. Not until videos of their involvement surfaced, did it become"we were there but no shots were fired" before finally ending on "we did shoot but they were blanks" only after news of the injured emerged. Can you imagine?

Make of it what you will but I know the Nigerian army too well to want to vouch for anything they say. Good people died that night fighting for their rights and until justice is served, the perpetrators of such heinous act will know no peace.

Over and over again, you have been corrected that the cameras brought down in the afternoon were vehicle plate number readers and not CCTV, but you guys are still repeating this erroneous assertion.

Those particular long cameras are installed at waist height to capture number plates. We that go through that place on a daily basis are very familiar with it.

Are CCTVs ever installed at waist height? Is it people's legs and car tyres that CCTV are to capture??

joyandfaith:


They refused to release it. It would damage Tinubu political career. If the video clip of what happened that night get to social media, hell will let loose.
The street lights in lekki toll gate were off to prevent spy recording.
The truth about that night wouldn't be made known until Tinubu political dysnaty ends.

So Tinubu is the president in charge of troops. Or he is the Lagos State governor or the commanding officer of the military unit in VI.

showafrica:


Igbos don't behead, even igbo cultists and armed robbers never do such things. We all know those who beheading is there profession... Giving a dog bad just to nail it is a waste of time. The good thing about truth is that it lasts forever. God is still in heaven... Whoever is behind this must be exposed.

Go and watch the video and come and review your comment.

Litmus:
Haven't watched the vid but I've heard enough to doubt that it is enough to declare the killers of the policemen one thing or another based on the language people spoke,someones nose, and apparent cannibalism when we all know the history of YouTube video fakery . Haven't we heard that some Cameroonian Ambazonian rebels can speak Igbo? France would dearly love Nigeria to replicate Rwanda etc. In any case, speculations and toting up all kinds of permutations in the comfort of the home and in the fevered imagination can be easy,which is why we need hard evidence. Many Nigerians from all tribes have straight noses, how is straight nose suddenly proof that someone is Fulani?

Nigerians need to wait for hard evidence and not rely on hearsay. When evidence is collected it then exits for all to challenge at some point. The "waiting" for evidence is in itself useful in every way. It calms nerves, cools the heated environment, allows individuals to reason better, and helps people cultivate the useful habit of delaying gratification.

It is better to watch the videos yourself.

There are two videos.

While this is very barbaric, but there’s no evidence that proves this was done by IPOB.
When BHT or ISWAP carry out an attack even the blind would know it was them. What’s the evidence that links this to IPOB?

Did you watch the videos?

Watch them here to clear any doubts.

YES, BUT DID IPOB OR ESN POST ANY VIDEO AND CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY?



DID THEY MENTION ESN OR IPOB OR DISPLAY THEIR SYMBOL?



IF THE ANSWER IS NO, THEN YOU ARE ON A LONG TING.

Yes, they claimed responsibility.

Joe yorubakwe speaks fluent Igbo. Is he IPOB?
Hope Uzodinjo is also a fluent Igbo speaker. Is he IPOB?
M0ron!!

https://www.nairaland.com/6870212/esn-members-killed-two-police

The video is on this thread for you to look at yourself.

The perpetrators themselves were bragging about the deed and revealed their identity.

The identities revealed matched with their manner of speech, dressing, conduct, location of incident even with passersby going about their activities and other points.

So I really do not understand your point of argument.

Alusiizizi:


Precisely. So many on this forum, and apparently the staff of Arise News have grossly inferior capacity for logical reasoning.

walefresh3:
bro u understand nothing about vat and development.... These vat figures proved that oyo state it's more develop than all south east states...vat collections is by fg ....and it's same everywhere... U can not give what u don't have... Let me elaborate it more... Vat its automatically collected from every purchase activities...e.g building construction, road construction, consumption goods , bank transaction...
It is a value added tax... The more u buy , the more money generated... Every transaction activities that's involved money added value to tax... Which means Oyo state it's more develop than other states with less activities of business...
Federal inland revenue it s in charge of vat collation....and it's same everywhere.. before it was 7.0 but now I heard it is 12.0. . Import and export tax are excluded....

VAT is 7.5%
