LAGOS (AFP) – The Nigerian military on Friday said it had raided and destroyed a militant camp in the volatile Niger Delta as part of its drive to end unrest in the oil-producing region. Army spokesman colonel Rabe Abubakar said the Joint Task Force (JTF), a contingent of the Nigerian army that protects oil facilities and personnel in the restive region, on Thursday "destroyed" a militant camp at Daroama in Bayelsa State. "A very significant part of Daroama militant camp has been destroyed, severe casualties were suffered by them (the militants) and some quantities of arms, ammunition, were recovered," said Abubakar. He blamed militants loyal to a leader named Kitikata for the death last year of three government troops and for "incessant" attacks on JTF locations and oil companies. The most prominent of the active groups claiming to fight for a greater share of the oil wealth for impoverished locals -- the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) -- has called off a ceasefire it had declared last year. Abubakar vowed to crush the militancy saying there would be an end to the "crisis in no distant future." The surge in violent attacks on Nigeria's oil industry has resulted in a drop in crude production in this world's eighth largest producer to some two million barrels a day, compared to 2.6 million in 2006. |

*comfort: Nigeria: Menace of 'Sex Workers' Chinwe Ochu 5 March 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Email|Print|Comment Share: analysis Lagos — As Abuja grows in people and infrastructure, so also are other vices like robberies and petty stealing. However, another growing business in the Federal Capital Territory is prostitution, one of the oldest professions known to mankind. Chinwe Ochu, who walked the streets on a night to look at how thriving the business is, writes < At first glance she struck me as a young lady standing by the roadside, waiting for a cab at about 8pm after a busy day at work. Decked in the characteristic long veil atop native skirt and blouse Ankara, she was the sight of a responsible lady on her way home. But later, something about her did not feel right. She declined to board the many number of cabs that stopped in front of her; but rather eyed the private vehicles that cruised in her direction. Only a few minutes later did she find what she was looking for as she bent to discuss with the man behind the wheels and zoomed off with him. Shocked! That was exactly what I felt as I came to the realisation that she, whom I would name Seyifat was a red-light lady, woman of the night, sex worker, hawker, hooker, LovePeddler or prostitute as the dictionary would describe any who peddles sex in exchange for money or other material things as the case maybe. Gone is the usual image of this category of women with their suggestive dressing and grooming; and seen in dungy, dark and dirty places at odd hours. It is called the oldest profession on earth. You might wonder, profession? I tell you yes. In the course of this research on this issue, It was discovered the 'professionalism' that goes into being a sex worker. Abuja, Nigeria's capital is resplendent in glory and is a sight to behold at night as the beauty of the modern city is evident. Its beautiful road network, amazing structures, serene neighbourhoods and relatively safe environment attract people from far and wide like bees to honey. Yet, residents have come to notice a different trend from what was obtainable in the recent past. Girls, ladies and women alike strut the streets at night in large numbers, discussing in hushed tones with any vehicle- owners that might come their way and most of the times, boarding the said vehicle to God- knows where. Do not get me wrong- this particular scene is seen everywhere there are morally- decadent men looking for bodies for sale. But the Abuja trend is becoming alarming. Not only do these ladies begin their trade as early as 8pm, they are seen at almost every street corner in Abuja. Gone are the days when they are sought for in certain sections of the city; which mostly becomes prominently known over- time as their depot. Abuja now 'boasts' of harbouring these women everywhere- I mean literarily everywhere; from high- brow residential areas in the city like Asokoro, Maitama, Wuse II to out- of- town estates like Gwarinpa, Abuja Model City and deserted highways leading to these estates. Gone also are the days when these women look harassed, with their inexpensive attires sometimes looking like drug- addicts. Now in Abuja, sex or street workers stun their 'customers' with radiant skin, gorgeous designer clothes and shoes and million dollar fragrances and perfumes. Some, you will find out have their cars packed somewhere close-by. Another uniqueness to the street workers in Abuja is that 90 per cent of them are what I call 'imports'. They are not Abuja residents. They come into the city on Fridays from places as far as Enugu, Yenagoa, Calabar, Lagos and as near as Kaduna, Jos and Minna; to engage in their trade for like a week before going back to their base for sometime and later return to make some more money. It is like a cycle. These girls often claim to be in one high institution of learning or the other. Research has shown, however that some of them are not undergraduates of any sort, but ladies out to make money out of ruining themselves. All over the world, majority of the women that engage in this trade claim they have no other means of livelihood to cater for their daily necessities. That is not the case with the average Abuja street worker. Some of them hold respectable jobs during the day; and in the bid to get more, driven by their greed, hawk themselves for money at night. So, the principle of rehabilitation and reabsorbing into the society is out of the question since they are a useful part of the society- during the day. That again is another unique feature of the street workers in Abuja. Anyway, I caught up with Seyifat days later as I hid at the back of a car driven by a male friend of mine who volunteered to assist me with this investigation. She was exactly at that same spot from the other day and dressed the same way. That helped me recognise her. Our car slowed down and then began the business negotiation. They discussed the 'terms and conditions' of the service- one that I will not go into for the sake of decency. Finally, she entered our car and a discussion ensued. My friend asked all the questions that I would have asked her- Why? Seyifat gave a lengthy story of how she is the bread- winner in her family of jobless parents and four siblings, all in secondary schools. When asked how much she made in a day she said that it depended on how fortunate she was. "Fifteen to twenty thousand," she replied. On where she came from, she said: "Bauchi." Imagine how shocked I was when I learnt that she does not even hail from the North. Her real name is Grace. When she was asked why she dressed the way she did, she said that it enabled her get married Alhajis as her clients, which means more money for her. To cut the long story short, she discovered that she was being interviewed and begged that she alight and go about her business. Seyifat is one out of the many thousands of women that walk the streets of Abuja every night; giving the city a bad name. Stories have been heard of these girls stealing parked cars, snatching briefcases from unsuspecting passers- by and blackmailing prominent men in the society who try to lend help to them. In the opinion of most Abuja residents, these girls do not 'hawk' themselves simply because they are poor or unemployed, since they look better than most working- class women. The question is: "If they do not have enough resources to take care of themselves, how come they dress so good every night and sometimes have cars to their credit?" The answer boils down to what one resident, Albert calls "laziness and the unwillingness to sit down and make a decent living. If they are desperate for jobs, there are positions as sales girls and receptionists everywhere. They can even learn a trade and start their own business and be their own masters," he said. Government authorities in Abuja should address this issue as it is getting really embarrassing. We want to attract foreign investors and re- brand Nigeria, don't we? The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Alhaji Aliero Adamu should pay heed to the pleas of countless Abuja residents and enforce the laws necessary to rid our streets of this ugly menace. Even the physical roads in Abuja will thank him for that, for are they not being trampled upon all night by these street workers all year round? |

The sounds of exchange of gun fire believed to be a supremacy battle between the rival cult groups which took place around 12.30am jolted residents out of their sleep. The incident, which occurred in the Biogbolo suburb of the state capital, caused panic. Eyewitnesses close to the scene of the battle claimed that after the exchange of gunfire by the cultists, a boy and a girl were said to have been felled by flying bullets. It was gathered that moment after the exchange of gunshot ceased the loud wailing of a woman selling cigarette and other petty items was heard some distant away from the scene of battle. The grief_stricken woman was said to be holding a blood stained corpse of a three boy who was reportedly killed by a stray bullet from the guns of the rampaging cultists. The sad turn of the event is gradually affecting night life in the capital city as most resident now retire to their homes early for fear of being caught in likely crossfire of the cults thereby impacting negatively on the various relaxation spots in town. Contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Iniobong Ibokette confirmed the incident but assured residents of their safety as the police has intensified security in the state capital. He said two persons have been arrested and the Commissioner of Police has since ordered a full investigation in order to bring the culprits to book http://allafrica.com/stories/200903230069.html |

*comfort: — Security operatives in[b] Bayelsa State have embarked on a manhunt for suspected militants who allegedly stabbed a female undergraduate from Ondewari community in the state to death. < The death of the student is generating tension in the community as no fewer than four persons have been rounded up by the police at Oporoma in Southern Ijaw Local Government. The deceased, identified as Patience, until her demise was a final year student of Political Science at the Rivers State College of Education. She was ambushed by some suspected militants while worshipping at a church in Ondewari. Eye witness account told Daily Independent that the victim and her father had had a quarrel with a militant leader during which Patience threatened to destroy his blocks. The deceased never destroyed the blocks as threatened but the militant leader believed his crushed blocks were the handiwork of Patience. It was gathered she had attended a Sunday church service a day after the quarrel, and there she was cornered by some violent youths armed with sharp objects and sticks. Reports revealed that the youths headed straight to the church, demanding for the release of their prey, but the church officials bluntly refused, sensing danger. The lady reportedly jumped out through one of the windows but was apprehended by the desperate gang. Relevant Links West Africa Crime and Corruption Legal and Judicial Affairs Nigeria Immediately she was stabbed on her upper arm and left in the pool of her blood before sympathisers rushed her to the Korokorosei Health Centre for medical attention. Patience was said to have lost much blood as one of her relations was requested to donate blood to resuscitate her. But before that could be done, the lady passed on. When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ibokette Iniobong, could not confirm the incident, saying he was in Abuja on an official assignment. |

*comfort:Gunmen attack Nigeria oil flow station 16 Mar 2009 17:48:46 GMT Source: Reuters PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, March 16 (Reuters) - Suspected armed militants in gunboats attacked an oil flow station in the southern Niger Delta early on Monday, a military spokesman said. Colonel Rabe Abubakar, spokesman for the military taskforce in the western Niger Delta, said the facility was attacked by gunmen in five speedboats at Nembe in Bayelsa state. It was not clear if any oil production was affected by the incident. "The facilities remain intact, there were no casualties to our troops," he said in a statement. It was not immediately clear which company owned the facilities. This was the second attack on an oil facility in the Niger Delta, the heart of Nigeria's oil and gas sector, in the last four days. Chevron <CVX.N> confirmed on Monday an attack by suspected militants on its oil pipeline in Delta state on Friday, shutting down around 11,500 barrels per day of production. Attacks on pipelines and industry installations are common in the Niger Delta. The unrest has shut down more than a fifth of Nigerian oil output over the past three years.

*comfort: Yenagoa — For residents of Yenagoa the state capital this is certainly not the best of time given the series of cult related killings in a city dubbed as the oasis of peace in the turbulent Niger Delta. Residents of the Bayelsa State capital were yesterday taken aback following the arrest by Police of teenage boys and girls with ages ranging between 12 and 16years over alleged involvement in cases of cultism, currency counterfeiting, illegal sales of cannabis and armed robbery in different parts of the state. < While the apprehensive residents thronged the state police headquarters to a catch a glimpse of the arrested teenagers, some concerned family members pleaded with the media to assist that fair investigation is conducted as they claimed that their wards presently in police custody were not involved in crimes mentioned by the police. The state police command were parading the suspects accused two teenage girls of being used by a cult group known as the Icelanders for luring and recruitment of innocent girls and boys in the state capital. A lad, aged 16, identified as Lucky Abel from Southern Ijaw local government area of the state was arrested with an automatic pistol and accused of armed robbery by the police authorities. The suspects arrested by the police for cult activities include Makpa Elohor (12yrs) and Maureen Bethel (13yrs). According to the State Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO), Ibokette Iniobong (DSP), the teenage girls were abducted by one Unity Kingsley and taken to the unholy meetings of the 'Icelanders' where they were taken through rigorous initiation processes include sexual acts. The duo of Elohor and Bethel were later reported to have become field officers that specializes in luring and recruiting boys and girls for the cult group before they were arrested along with Unity Kingsley. Also arrested in different parts of the state with the assistance of the girls were over thirteen boys including a disabled identified as a senior member of the group. However, there was a drama midway into the parade of the suspects as some family members of the suspects pleading with newsmen to interview their wards accused of cultism and illegal sales of cannabis. This was however dismissed by the Commissioner of Police, Julian Opaleke who said the newsmen should not be allowed to speak with the suspects as "it will jeopardize investigation." The trio of Trinia Godswill, Kide Captain and Peria Arake were also arrested with two Generating sets, two image scanners allegedly used for counterfeiting and fake currency notes in the state capital. http://allafrica.com/stories/200903130865.html |

A LAW TO MAKE IT UNLAWFUL TO INFRINGE THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS, AND FOR OTHER RELATED MATTERS ENACTED BY THE ENUGU STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, THIS 8TH MARCH, 2001 PROHIBITION (1) "No person for whatever purpose or reason shall compel a widow/widower as follows: (a) to permit the hairs on the head or any other part of the body to be shaved; (b) to sleep either alone or on the some bed or be locked in a room with corpse of the husband c) not to receive condolence visits from sympathisers during the period of mourning (d) to be re-married by a relative of the late husband (e) to sit on the floor or be naked during any period of the husband's/ burial rite (f) to drink the water used in washing the corpse of the husband/ (g) to weep and wail loudly at intervals at any time after the death of the husband/ except at ones own volition or involuntary action; (h) to remain in confinement after the death of the husband for any given period; (i) to vacate the matrimonial home; (j) to do any other thing which contravenes the fundamental rights entrenched in the Constitution or is degrading the person. (2) A widow shall not be dispossessed upon the death of the husband of any property acquired by the deceased husband/wife (during the deceased husband's/wife's life time) without his/her consent. PENALTY: It shall be unlawful for any widow/widower or any person to falsely allege that the rights guaranteed under this law have been violated JURISDICTION: Anybody who contravenes, conspires, aids, counsels, procures, or assists another person to contravene the provisions of this Law shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine N5,000 (Five thousand naira) or two years imprisonment or both APPEAL: The Magistrate Court shall have jurisdiction to try summarily any offence under this law. "During 2001 a series of meetings and workshops were organized by WiDO to make the bill known and to discuss and disseminate the information about its enactment." WIDOWHOOD PRACTICES: THE CASE OF ENUGU STATE (NIGERIA) FROM THE FOREWORD: "Although both the widow and the widower experience basically equal pains for the death of the partner, the Nigerian widow suffers many deprivations, some of which are inhuman, barbaric and uncouth. This discriminatory and parochial approach in the practice of widowhood in Nigeria destabilizes and vexes Nigerian women and rightly so. Apart from the fact that the discriminatory practice violates the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the traditional practices are a taboo in the civilised world and should not find a place in any decent society, It is difficult for a human being in this day and age to believe that a wife is forced to drink the water used in bathing the corpse of her husband, all in the name of custom, as told by Mrs. Agnes lloegbunam. This and other widowhood practices are repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience and should be thrown out from society as they do much harm to womanhood. Although the book tells the pathetic story of the experiences of Enugu State widows, it is known that widows in other States in the country suffer from similar situations, Nigerian women should continue in the struggle for complete eradication of the present obnoxious widowhood practices. The first step towards achieving total freedom is education, Congratulations to the Enugu State Widows Welfare Committee on a successful campaign!

. A. Blood and Oil: Testimonies of Violence from Women of the Niger Delta. NDWJ carried out a research investigating violence against women by the Nigerian State and multi-national oil companies. The project covered 13 communities across the delta over a period of three weeks including[b] Ijaw, Ogoni, Ikwerre, Egi, Umuechem, Isoko,Itsekiri and Ilaje among others.[/b] The Niger Delta has been intensively militarised over the past 10 years during which period communities have been brutalised and destroyed by security forces and suffered untold environmental damage by multinational oil companies. The research sought to give voice to the many women who have been victims of violence ranging from beatings, rape, bestiality, destruction and theft of property and crops to fear and intimidation. B. EFFECTS OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM) NDWJ also carried out a research on the effects of female genital mutilation on women. Rural communities in the delta still practise the act of mutilating women's genitals with the excuse of initiating them into womanhood. The research aimed to convince the perpetrators of FGM that the practise is harmful to the health of the women and is a violation of women's right to health and her sexuality. It is a compilation of victim's experiences. And we gathered during the research that 4 adolescent female children died as a result of FGM in 1999 in Erema community. This research was carried out in Rivers State. C WIDOWHOOD RITES This was a research into the various ways in which women are subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment in the name of mourning a deceased spouse, by their various customs and traditions.
