The numbering is not clear, but I think the policeman at the back (is it number 14? ) should be Police Commissioner Joseph Gomwalk. He was governor of Benue-Plateau State and he was executed after the Dimka Coup.

I'm sorry, the policeman is Adamu Suleiman. He was inspector general before Sunday Adewusi.

This should be Murtala Muhammed's Supreme Military Council (SMC).

I can swear that number 8 is Major General Martin Adamu.

That's the big debate now. Should she go to the World Cup? Is she too old? Do we need her experience?

This will be her 6th FIFA World Cup if she makes it.

South Africa are not taking Janine Van Wyck, their inspirational captain. Janine is 36, Onome is 40. Janine began playing for Bayana Bayana in 2005, Onome began playing for the Super Falcons in 2003. Should she go? That's the big debate in Nigerian football.

She has shown, in recent times, that she can use her experience to help the team, but people question her speed. Does she have the pace to keep up with people like Sammy K at the World Cup? Remember that we are in the same group as co-hosts Australia.

‘Looters’ Trapped Under Rubble Of Demolished Kano Hotel, One Dead

Thu, 15 Jun 2023

Some persons suspected to be looters stealing rods and other building materials from the demolished Daula Hotel in Kano State are currently trapped under the rubble.

The facility is among public building pulled down on the orders of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, who has vowed to reclaim government properties “illegally sold out”.

It was gathered that one person among the suspects lost his life while three others were rescued, but several others yet to be accounted for.

According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened around 2:30pm when the looters were scouting for iron rods from the rubble of the demolished building.

The Public Relations Officer, Kano State Fire Service, Saminu Yusif who spoke to our reporter at the scene of the incident, said his team had so far rescued three persons.

Yusuf said, “Our team rescued three alive, one had fracture on his leg but his relatives have gone with him. Two left on their own after they were rescued.

“I was told there is other persons inside but until he is brought out you cannot tell how many persons were trapped in there. But as you can see, our men were still on rescue mission.”

Also speaking, an eyewitness, Isah Ibrahim, said, “We were working upstairs and mostly these scavengers were down also taking one or two things. The problem is, when you are up there, they are trying to demolish the under which is very wrong.”


Men of fire service, NEMA, police, Kano State Urban Planning and Development Agency, KNUPDA among others were seen at the scene trying to rescue others trapped in the building.

Building Collapse in Kano
Three people were rescued critically injured and a body was found after being buried under the rubbles in the old Daula Hotel, a structure that was pulled down by Kano state government for what it described as an effort to bring sanity to land matters in the city.

It was a pleasure today to receive in audience the Commissioner of Police, @LagosPoliceNG Command, CP Idowu Owohunwa, and members of the Steering Committee working on the remodeling of the Command’s Gender-Based Violence and Family Support Center.

I am humbled by the decision of the Command to name the Center after me in recognition of the modest efforts we have so far championed to scale up the fight against the menace of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).

It is gratifying that the center is projected to accommodate facilities such as a clinic to provide medical and psychosocial support to victims, a therapy office, a shelter room, a modern call center, an interrogation room, detention rooms, children's play area, administrative offices, restaurant, Church and Mosque, as well as quarters for officers on duty, among others.

It was instructive that as part of the plan to ensure professionalism in handling SGBV cases, 30 police officers were trained on the sensitive nature of sexual crimes, while plans are underway to train more officers and also increase the Police Family Support Units in the state.

For me, I will continue to welcome and support initiatives aimed at stamping out the menace of SGBV in our state and country. It is the right thing to do and the right way to go to protect our women and girls and also our men and boys.

No one should be subjected to such violent crimes. SGBV remains a crime against humanity and a pandemic that must be thrown into the dustbin of history. People are encouraged not only to say something when they see something but also do something. Police is our friend and family!
