LASG TO DIVERT TRAFFIC AT OUTER MARINA AXIS IN CONTINUATION OF BLUE LINE RAIL PROJECT

In continuation of the ongoing Blue Line Rail Project, the Lagos State Government will divert traffic on outer Marina Road.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Transportation, the Commissioner, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde said that the diversion will be embarked upon to enable the launch of a beam on the outer Marina after the descent from Apongbon Bridge.

He advised motorists to utilise the Third Mainland Bridge or Oyingbo/Iddo route to connect Carter Bridge and link Leventis to access their desired destinations, adding that a lane will be made available for vehicular movement from Apongbon.

Oladeinde also stated that motorists from Eko Bridge could use Leventis inwards outer Marina Road to continue their journey, stressing the need to cooperate with the State's Traffic Management Personnel that would be deployed to the axis during the diversion.

While thanking Lagosians for their perseverance in view of the various construction works ongoing in different parts of the metropolis, the Transport Commissioner assured that the efforts being made will ensure the Blue line project is completed in record time to create options of mobility for the citizenry.

Nigeria: Conclave Of Governors


15 JANUARY 2001

The News (Lagos)
By Uba Aham

Lagos — When Senator Bola Tinubu, Lagos State Governor, strolled out of the conference hall of the Nike Lake Resort Hotel after the second summit of the Southern Governors, 10 January, he expressed his approval of the resolutions reached at the summit. "I am elated about our resolution to establish state police," he told this magazine. "Security," he asserted, "is a right, not a privilege for the people". The Governor who is an advocate of state police argued that the present situation whereby security of the masses is solely entrusted to the federal police gives room for fraud, irregularity and abuse of power. The governors, according to Tinubu, would not allow the issue of state police to be sabotaged by any act of omission or commission. He said they were determined to pursue it to a logical conclusion.

The summit had in its nine-point communique endorsed by all the 17 Southern governors, resolved that a constitutional amendment empowering states to establish the state police be pursued.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE21/11/2021: LEKKI MASSACRE REPORT INCOMPLETE WITHOUT OBIGBO GENOCIDE REPORT – IPOB

#radiobiafrafreedom

The global family of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU is watching keenly the Lekki toll gate massacre report, and the reactions trailing it. But we are utterly shocked that nobody is mentioning the Obigbo massacre which happened about the same period and time last year.

We wonder why there is no report on the Obigbo genocide and ethnic cleansing which was sponsored by Gov. Nyesom Wike but executed by the Nigeria Army, police, and other security agencies last year.

Innocent Igbo youths were killed in cold blood last year by Gov. Nyesom Wike in Obigbo LGA of Rivers State. Many dead bodies were thrown into the river by the masterminds of concealing evidence, yet there is no report about this genocide.

Innocent Igbo youths were killed in cold blood last year by Gov. Nyesom Wike in Obigbo LGA of Rivers State. Many dead bodies were thrown into the river by the masterminds of conceal evidence, yet there is no report about this genocide.

The world must know about the floating of dead bodies of our people at the rivers in Obigbo and those still missing to date.

Gov. Wike must come out openly and tell the world why he massacred people living in Obigbo LGA Rivers State. Wike must know that IPOB will never relent in the demand for Justice for those he ordered their execution in Obigbo LGA last year.

The world must know about the killings of Obigbo people and many illegally taken to the secret detentions in all parts of the Northern Nigerian states. IPOB has secured the release of about 600 innocent citizens taken to Nigeria army security detention facilities across the North and many are still missing till today.

We must remind the world about testimonies of our Obigbo women raped by the Nigerian security agents in various secret detention centers across the Northern Nigerian states that resulted in their early deaths.

The world must be aware of Obigbo women, men, and children that died in the illegal and secret detention centers across Northern Nigeria states.

#EndSARS: Like Lekki Massacre, Obigbo Killings, Raping Of Women In Rivers Community Should Be Probed — IPOB

The killings were said to have been done between 21st October and 4th November 2020.

BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORK. NOV 21, 2021

A separatist group in the South-East, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has demanded an investigation into the killing of residents of Obigbo local government area of Rivers State.

The killings were said to have been done between 21st October and 4th November 2020.

The group alleged that Governor Nyesom Wike invited Nigerian security agents to massacre the people of the area at the time #EndSARS protests swept across the nation.

IPOB stated this while reacting to the report of a Lagos State panel of inquiry into police brutality and other abuses following last year's #EndSARS protests and the killing of peaceful protesters at Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020.

According to the statement by IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, which was obtained by SaharaReporters on Sunday, “Innocent Igbo youths were killed in cold blood last year by Governor Nyesom Wike in Obigbo LGA of Rivers State.”

The media had reported that no fewer than 50 persons were killed and that more than 80 others were injured.

Scores of people in Obigbo were said to have disappeared and many women raped by members of the joint task force of the Nigerian military and the police in Rivers.

IPOB in a statement titled, “Lekki Massacre Report Incomplete Without Obigbo Genocide Report,” described the sad incident as ethnic cleansing targeted at Igbo and perpetrated by Governor Wike.

The statement read, “The global family of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is watching keenly the Lekki toll gate massacre report, and the reactions trailing it. But we are utterly shocked that nobody is mentioning the Obigbo massacre which happened about the same period and time last year.

“We wonder why there is no report on the Obigbo genocide and ethnic cleansing which was sponsored by Governor Nyesom Wike but executed by the Nigerian Army, police and other security agencies last year.

“Our people must remember Obigbo genocide/ethnic cleansing committed by Governor Nyesom Wike and his cronies, including the Nigerian Army, police, DSS, Navy and Air force against the hated tribe in Nigeria.
