Hello guys, has anyone had an encouter with ODG Africa? I attended what so many perceived will be a job interview but instead they sat us down for ours telling us how they are group of entrepreneurs with a vision to lift 100m Nigerians out of poverty. Honesty I knew its going to be something like this when I got the invite but I just said I should go. I am actually working but I need something on the side since my job provides me with some free times sometimes in a week. I waited to hear if they will provide us with business loans or something but they didn't mention anything like that. They were busy telling me things I already knew, inspirational videos that I have watched long time ago. They ask us to come tomorrow but I don't think I am ready to sit for hour hearing things they should be telling a primary 6 pupil. But if it involves a concrete plan like giving business loans to be paid for back then amen in. Kindly share ur experience if any. Thank you

About a year after #EndSARS protests were held in major Nigerian cities, cases of police brutality are still becoming a gory staple daily in the lives of young people in Africa’s biggest economy.

For Oluwaferanmi Moses, a first-year student, studying Mechanical Engineering at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), his experience in police custody from September 19 to October 8, is not different from those of many young Nigerians, who have been wrongly profiled and brutalised by police officials.

Moses was arrested by men of the Lagos State police force attached to Zone B command, at Mushin on his way to his workshop, where he repairs cars during holidays.

“I went to Festac that Sunday morning to check a Range Rover. I was done with the work on the Range; there were just a few things that were left to be completed,” Moses said. “I had to go back to my shop at Mushin to pick up some tools so that the work could be completed. I didn’t know if there was a fight going on at Mushin. So I took a bike from Sadiku in Illasa to where my shop is.”

“After picking my tools and going back to Festac, there was no bike so I began to trek, then I saw some guys running, I had to run back when I saw policemen shooting.

“Suddenly, policemen parked at my front and what I heard was ‘hold him’. I showed them my tools and informed them of the work I do.

The man who held me then left me to go but the DPO attached to Zone B who led the operation, one officer Garba, ordered my arrest and beat me up while my tools were thrown away.”

Moses was arrested with 15 other people who were taken into custody. They spent five hours before they were transferred to Area F Command in Ikeja.

From Ikeja, Moses said he was transferred to Ijede in Ikorodu. Moses insisted the order to move him to Ijede was given by Lagos State commissioner of police Hakeem Odumosu himself.

“When the Commissioner of Police came around that day, he said ‘go and drop them at Ijede.” Ijede is Area N Command.

“I was in Ijede prison for 20 days. I fell sick seriously that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) had to take me to the nearest general hospital. It was at that point the DPO told me that the CP has forgotten us in prison.”

Feranmi’s mother, Mrs. Moses, said her son was transferred to three prisons before she found out his location.

She initially concluded that her son has been kidnapped when he did not return home on the day he was arrested.

“When it was 8pm, I expected that he should have returned home I was worried and began to call his number but the phone was ringing with no one answering the call,” Mrs Moses said.

“This made me scream out to neighbours informing them that my son left for work and has not returned. I kept trying his number on Monday, September 20, until around 4pm when the phone went off.”

She only found out he was arrested from someone who had gone to check on a boy arrested.

Mrs Moses said Feranmi had pleaded with the parent and asked that his mother be contacted.

She said an officer referred to as SP Taiwo at Area F in Ikeja on October 8 demanded N80, 000 to secure Feranmi’s release. Her son was never charged to court.

Cash-strapped and worried for her son’s safety and health, she begged to pay N50, 000.

“We pleaded for N50, 000 which they refused. He was sick, we didn’t want him to be held there anymore because we didn’t want him to die in custody. That was why we had to pay the money they requested in cash to secure his release,” Mrs Moses said.

Mindful they could be tracked if the money was paid via electronic transfer, the policemen involved demanded cash payment.

Moses was freed on Friday after the cash payment. But the policemen demanded another payment before his phone could be given back to him.

The phone was eventually given back to him without payment on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Lagos State police spokesman Adekunle AJisebutu told The Guardian that he was not aware of Moses’ arrest.

He, however, advised against giving money to police officials “because in the case of the law, both the giver and the receiver are liable. It won’t be enough to pay a bribe and come back to complain later.”

Ajisebutu promised that he “will try and see what can be done” but that police may not be able to identify the errant officials as there are no financial statements to show that the officers received the said amount.

“I have always advised people to complain before giving out money to officers for bail because once you pay money it is usually very difficult to refund. Obviously, it would be denied if you don’t have any evidence,” Ajisebutu said.

“Once an officer demands money, you should raise an alarm and call. It is not enough to make an allegation, the onion is on he who alleges should assert. If the transaction was done through POS or bank transaction, that it would be easy for us to make sure that the money is refunded.”

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State on Saturday said that his administration in the past six months had steadily expended N700 million monthly on payment of pensions.

Ortom offered the explanation against the backdrop of the protest by some aggrieved pensioners on Wednesday who took to the streets of Makurdi while they accused the state government of being insensitive to their plights over unpaid pensions.

The governor however told journalists shortly after his return from Abuja that a total of N700 million was being paid to the different categories of pensioners in the state every month.

He further explained that the amount covered the N400million and N300milllion paid monthly to the State and Local Government pensioners respectively.

He said that though the release of the funds affects payment of overheads and other logistics in some Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government, it had to be sustained in order to address the plight of the senior citizens who served the state meritoriously and retired.

Ortom added that the release of N700 million monthly was a result of an agreement between government and Pension union leaders in the state, stressing that the cause of the recent protests by pensioners despite the subsisting agreement was unfortunate and would be investigated.

He reiterated that his administration inherited over N70billion arrears of pensions and gratuities of retirees in the state but that through relentless efforts, his government had reduced the amount to less than N35b so far.

The governor said already, over N1.5billiion had been saved in the PENCOM account by the Benue State government and that when the amount reaches N3billion threshold, funds would be accessed from PENCOM to clear arrears of Pensions and gratuities of retirees.

Ortom maintained that the domestication of the PENCOM law by his administration was the best approach to ensure a lasting solution to payment of pensions and gratuities of retirees in the state.

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has presented a budget of N294 billion to the state House of Assembly.

Makinde made the budget presentation before the lawmakers in Ibadan on Wednesday.

The budget is for the 2022 fiscal year.
He christened the budget as the budget of growth and opportunities.

Makinde, while speaking further, added that his administration will inject N156,000,136,971 into the economy of the state.

According to the governor, a sum of N138,516,308,136 would be spent on recurrent expenditure.

He maintained that one of the major projects that would be carried out in the year 2022 is the 110km Ibadan Circular Road.

Makinde said, “I have the honour of presenting to the House this N294,516,445,107 2022 Budget Proposal.

“As stated earlier, this is a budget of growth and opportunities. Growth, as we inject N156,000,136,971 into our economy through investments in infrastructure and ensuring that our people have higher purchasing power.

“For the first time, our proposed capital expenditure at 52.97% is more than our recurrent expenditure.

“A major project we will be carrying out in 2022 is 110km Ibadan Circular Road. This tolled road will be a major economic boost as it will create an alternate entry and exit point out of Ibadan and connect the new economic corridor and business district, we are building at Moniya.

“Our recurrent expenditure is N138,516,308,136.”
