EmagNig: An unnamed Divisional Police Officer, DPO of a station in Bauchi has been called out for allegedly torturing 2 people to death for stealing chicken.
According to the allegation by one Bulama Bukarti, the officer was alleged to have collected payments from the families of the victims and the alleged buyer of the stolen chickens, before proceeding to torture the men, numbering 3.
One of the men reportedly survived and he was the one who narrated the story.
Bulama wrote on Twitter:
Just when you think it can’t get any worse, they’d say ‘hold on’. This morning, BBC Hausa did a story on how a DPO in Bauchi tortured two men to DEATH and left the 3rd with FIVE fractures for allegedly stealing seven CHICKENS.
Here’s what happened according the surviving victim: The victims were arrested for allegedly stealing seven chickens. The man they sold them to was sommoned and ordered to pay N2,000 each for thirteen, instead of seven chikens, and he did. The suspects were ordered by the DPO to pay N4,000 and their parents paid a total of N12,000.
The DPO told the parents to go; that he’d release the suspects later. He then ordered his officers to tie the suspects up. He told the suspects to be chanting “stealing has ended” in Hausa & started beating them with a big stuff in their legs heads, chests, all over their bodies.
The first suspect died instantly. The second died for head and neck injuries in a hospital. The third is currently home nursing five factures including two on the knees of each leg. The second suspect’s mother related to BBC Hausa how her son died tragically in the hospital.
The Bauchi State Police Cammand said it’s set up a committee to investigate the matter but the DPO was not suspended, much less, arrested. When pressed by BBC, the police spokesman said “You can’t arrest a senior policeman!”.
The alleged torturer is still the DPO of the division.
Incidents like this are all too common in Nigeria, as well as their sheer corruption, that police’s bad reputation in the eyes of Nigerians. I call on the @PoliceNG to take over this matter. The DPO must be investigated and prosecuted for culpable homicide in a transparent way.
StagethemTVee: Fishermen Trying To Catch Dolphins Migrating Through Dolphin Estate, Lagos
Dolphin estate is a popular residential estate in Lagos located by the sea . It is so named because it was a major route for dolphins migrating to the south African coast. The water was shallow enough for people to go in and pet the dolphins.
The Dolphins stopped coming because they were hunted. The recent lockdown which resulted in less ships and boats on the sea probably made them think its safe again but alas, they are still being hunted by these men recording the video.
You can hear the men directing someone to throw in a net. One of them said he would jump in and catch a dolphin with his bare hands. Why would anyone want to kill a dolphin? For food or what? Why can we learn to protect nature and its gifts to us?
mercyokoro24: A photo has emerged showing a tired Almajiri boy sleeping on a pile of dirt along the road in Northern Nigeria.
The sad photo was shared by a Kano based Facebook user.
The photo describes the fate of many Almajiri children who are abandoned by their parents after being sent out to fend for themselves.
Almajiri is a system of Islamic education practiced in northern Nigeria. Almajiri derives from an Arabic word, rendered "al-Muhajirun" in English transliteration, meaning a person who leaves his home in search of Islamic knowledge.
But, the system has been bastardized over the years.
Lizzysamuel: Edo APC Chieftain, Tony Kabaka mobilises people, including kids at his house to prevent Obaseki from demolishing his hotel building.
Tony Adun also known as Tony Kabaka, few days ago dared the state governor, Godwin Obaseki to demolish his Hotel within 7 days.
Tony Kabaka who is well known for being a member of the Oshiomole backed faction of Edo APC, EPM has been against Obaseki for a while.
This was after Obaseki issued Tony Kabaka a 7 day notice by Edo state Ministry of Urban Planning to remove his hotel which is located at Ugbor village, Benin City, Edo state for illegally occupying government land.
Tony Kabaka has been relentless in his anger and disdain towards Obaseki for using and discarding them afterwards, taking away their sources of income and in all, making life harder for them.
In a recent video making rounds, he was seen with children begging Governor, Obaseki not to demolish his hotel unless he wants him dead.
dayo229: My neighbor, a woman was drowned few days ago due to heavy rainfall. Her body was found 3 days later in a near by river across our street.
What surprises me is that when they want bury her, etutu (sacrifice) was performed by osun people (they wore white clothes and in beads). This woman I'm talking about was a Muslim o. She has even gone to Mecca before.
Can anybody here tell me why it is done?
What happens if they don't do the sacrifice and just bury her like that?
Is this peculiar to only Yoruba tribe?
No much difference between being a muslim and idol worship, that is why prayers should always be offered for salvation of their souls. Or have you not seen how they co-habit without rancor?

PureFace1: Kemi Adetiba has confirmed that she's working on making 'King Of Boys 2'.
10 months after the premiere of Kemi Adetiba’s groundbreaking thriller, ‘King Of Boys,’ she has hinted plans to shoot a second phase.
In a tweet on Monday, August 26, 2019, Adetiba tweeted about her efforts at making another phase of the film.1st was a crap, in my opinion. Some people don't know how to vacate when the ovation is loudest.
However, the filmmaker refused to clarify if the intended ‘King Of Boys 2’ will be a prequel or sequel to the first franchise.
“So, finally tackled the scene where Makanaki and Odogwu Malay meet (read as confront) each other for the first time in KOB 2... And..” she tweeted.
The tweet got fans of the film and the filmmaker expressing opinions on what shape the script should take.
Adetiba was quick to inform fans that she’s afraid to share the script with anyone including the actors saying she might need to have the crew and cast sign the non-disclosure form.
“I'm even afraid to share the script with ANYONE at this point. Even folks that NEED to read it. But, as I've mentioned before, even if you manage to get your hands on a script, NO script will have the final scene. And we will shoot 3 alternate endings...Cos I don't trust y'all
“Hmmmmmmmm... With the way y'all are acting, I definitely will need a lockdown on the KOB 2 set, with everyone signing airtight NDAS.”
She also dropped hint on how she intends to conclude the story, which has had several Nigerians in and outside Nigeria talking.
“I just figured out how I want KOB 2 to end,” she tweeted. She went on to say, “Damn near at the end of the script and the ONLY thing that had us stomped was a fitting ending. Now we got it!!! However... It's so good, we'll have to keep it secret and out of the official script even given to the actors”.
The filmmaker broke all her record, which was set by ‘The Wedding Party 1’.
Adetiba’s ‘King Of Boys’ grossed over N100 million after maintaining number one spot in cinemas for seven weeks and emerged the 4th highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time.

I agree with u but we have very few exceptional ones to be appreciated, maybe that's why.this is why they most often than not compensate themselves with side chicks, drinking and staying out late cos they know when it's all said and done it's the mothers that are celebrated, get the cards, taken for vacation and also go for omugwo
