What happened to that little girl Yvonne Maha who used to sing melodiously in the eighties?

HungerBAD:
The Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, has directed companies using Supernumerary Police nationwide to stop the use of police uniform for their operations on or before January 1, 2016.

This followed reports that Bassey Edet, the official driver of Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State, was wearing police uniform and posing as a police officer.

The state government had insisted that Edet was a SPY policeman, having attended Police Training School, Ikeja, Lagos State, with Force identification number, 1522.

The state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr. Aniekan Umanah, who displayed photocopies of Edet’s police identity card and certificates to journalists, argued that he was a duly trained personnel of the police working with the state government.

But the IG, who gave the directive on Thursday at a meeting with security managers of firms using SPY Police for their internal security, said the measure was part of his administration’s renewed crime fighting strategy.

This, the IG said, was “aimed at curtailing the activities of criminally-minded persons who disguise in police uniform to perpetrate their nefarious activities.”

Arase said he had approved the use of a newly-designed grey and black trousers pair as the new uniform to be worn by SPY police officers nationwide, according to a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Kolawole.

Meanwhile, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi, has assured that Nigeria will work towards the implementation of the Economic Community of West African States’s policy on axle load control not only in the country, but in other member countries.

Oyeyemi, who is the Chairman of the National Committee on the implementation of the ECOWAS policy on axle load control, said Nigeria would ensure that conducive environment for its implementation was created in the country to properly address issues of overloading both within and across the sub-regional roads.

“Nigeria is one of the signatories to the ECOWAS protocol on the implementation of the policy on axle load control; We must therefore make concerted efforts to ensure that the policy is effectively enforced in the country,” he stated at a stakeholders meeting in Abuja.

Many police forces around the world have auxiliary policemen (civilians who have been deputised/appointed to perform some police tasks). These auxiliary policemen are kind of like the reserve force of the police.

Organisations in Nigeria such as banks, oil companies, universities, etc that need police protection for their facilities/workers and organisations that want their security guards and drivers to have some police skills can apply to the Inspector General of Police or the Commissioner of police.

The organisations would nominate their staff and also state the nature of the facility/person that is to be protected and why they want police protection. The nominated employees would then undergo a 3 months course at the Police Training School, Ikeja (paid for by their organisation).

Supernumerary policemen are paid by their organisation and they are enrolled in the supernumerary police programme from month to month. They would need to give a month's notice before resigning from the supernumerary police programme.

The officers have the powers, privileges and immunities of a police officer within the area he is appointed. They are thus permitted to wear police uniforms.

Former managing director of the NDDC, Mr Ndutimi Alaibe has described as mischievous, stories making the rounds that he has perfected plans to work for Governor Seriake Dickson of the PDP in today’s governorship election.

According to Alaibe in a statement personally signed by him, the story trending in the socio media is a move aimed at pitting him against the APC leadership just as its sponsors are scared of the possible influence he will exact for the APC.

He accused the PDP as the mastermind of the story.

”clearly, the trending story is masterminded by the PDP because they know what my commitment to the APC will do for the party across the state.

”I have said it severally and without mincing words that I remain committed to the APC and its ideals even as my support for the governorship candidate is unwavering. Nothing can make me dump the APC under whatever circumstances”, Alaibe said.
