That man should be thoroughly investigated.I believe he has some powerful sponsors.He cant be mad.No mad man can precisely break 2 security gates of an airport and drive directly towards an already loaded airplane.

Indeed, there is a purpose for what the man did. The govt really have to investigate this man, and the reason behind it. They should not be carried away by madness, being circulated by the ignorants!. There is a reason, and there must be a sponsor.

slap1:
I thought as much!

I knew you will comment on it.

Repeated Primary 6 (2 times),
Wrote JAMB 5 times,
Had 9 Carry overs and later spent 9 years for a Degree in Failuretology,
Finally, was later honoured with a Degree, for outstanding performance by not being able to graduate without assistance

Employers, please note!.

Fhemmmy:
Is that anything to do with the issue at hand and being discussed?

Pardon my intrusion here, but it does. This their senseless killing is what is taking the lives of the innocent ones, and a corper could be affected some day, if it has not even occurred yet.

As for what NYSC is doing now, it is better for these students, as the number of them killed of recent is not encouraging, rather, it is making more people join their voice in the quest to scrap the entire programme!.

dustydee:
don't forget that you are not far away from Calabar south where all those miscreants are.You can't tell me you don't go to calabar south even if you live in the municipality.

Compare what is happening in my state, or even Calabar South as you sited, to what is happening in the most peaceful part of your state?

slap1:
Let the NYSC members protest openly against being posted to Jos.

How will they, when many posted there, are there already, for fear of missing service year. Besides, they are not coordinated!.

Otobroto:
Meanwhile, the National Association of Nigerian Students on Friday said it would hold the state and the Federal Governments responsible for any further outbreak of violence in state.

NANS which also opposed the calls for the redeployment of corps members from the state said Plateau indigenes might as well reject posting to other states.

What the government should do, NANS President, Jude Imagwe, said was to beef up security for corpse members posted to the state.

”What we want to see is government taking proactive measures to forestall the recurrence of violence as that is their major responsibility.

”We shall hold the federal and state government’s responsible if there is any further breakdown of peace as it will amount to their inability to pilot the affairs of our country and state,” he stated.

I wonder why people will see danger, and still want to go there, under the guise of NYSC!. I will hold NAN responsible for any corper that goes down as a result of the crisis. We all know that, there is no value placed on human lives in Nigeria.

Jos: 15 disappear in mysterious circumstances
By Jude Owuamanam, Published: Sunday, 21 Mar 2010


Another dimension has been added to the lingering crisis in Plateau State as no fewer than 15 persons have disappeared in Jos, the state capital, since the March 7 sectarian violence hit parts of the state, SUNDAY PUNCH has gathered.

Curiously, however, our correspondent gathered that in all the cases, the victims disappeared without any trace.

It was further learnt that many of the missing persons were either motorcycle operators or students who strayed into what had become enemy territory.

Since the February 7, 2001 crisis, the state had been divided along religious lines, with Christians and Muslims living in separate quarters.

The situation has been made worse by the recurring crises on the Plateau where Christians are afraid to go to Muslim-dominated areas and vice versa.

Our correspondent gathered that places like Angwan Rogo, Angwan Rukuba, Rikkos, Bauchi road, some parts of Nasarawa Gwong and Rikkos are no-go areas for the Christians, while the Muslims abhor areas such as Tudun Wada, Anguldi, Gada Biu, Hwolshe and Zawan, mostly dominated by the indigenes.

Only penultimate Sunday over 400 persons including women and children lost their lives on the outskirts of Jos allegedly in the hands of Fulani herdsmen.

Just last Sunday, a newspaper vendor, Mallam Rabiu Audu, disappeared while selling newspapers along Aguldi Jos.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Mohammed Larema, who confirmed the development, said in the last one week, no less than five missing persons had been reported to the command

He said, ”We have been receiving reports of missing persons and in the last one week, five of such reports were made to us.

”The names of such persons were Bello Abubakar, Victor Onyewuchi, Rabiu Audu, Ahok Barnabas and Menshak Ayiga.

”We are still investigating and I cannot make a categorical statement on their fate,” Laream added.



Meanwhile, the National Association of Nigerian Students on Friday said it would hold the state and the Federal Governments responsible for any further outbreak of violence in state.

NANS which also opposed the calls for the redeployment of corps members from the state said Plateau indigenes might as well reject posting to other states.

I just hope they are able to move as soon as possible.

Then, why are they crying foul? Nigerians will never stop to complain.

netotse:

This is Nigeria!. You must be highly connected to win a case against the Nigerian Police.

What is political about the news?

Of course, there will be argument which might degenerate into punches, and even worst. There is anger in the land, and it is everywhere.

When will the Nigerian Police Force, ever be civilised?

Police brutalise journalists, traders in Onitsha
By Emmanuel Obe, Awka, Published: Friday, 12 Mar 2010


A combined team of the Anti-Terrorism Squad and riot policemen attached to the Onitsha Area Command on Wednesday, assaulted and detained four journalists for three hours for covering a peaceful demonstration staged by members of the Association of Radio and Television Technicians Anambra State.

The policemen also damaged a Sony PD 170 digital camera worth about N5m, belonging to Minaj Broadcast International, Obosi.

The affected journalists are two MBI reporters, Daniel Ukpai and Augustina Ngwu; their camera man, Samuel Nwabuisi and a reporter with the Nigerian Television Authority, Onitsha national station, Ifeanyinwa Ede.

But the Onitsha Police Area Commander, Mr. John Nwele, quickly ordered their release. Nwabuisi told newsmen at the police station that they were driving through Iweka Road when they saw a group of traders demonstrating and carrying placards and decided to stop to find out what was happening.

One of the journalists said, “As we were about getting the story of the protest, four Toyota Hilux Jeeps carrying about 40 policemen from the mobile unit, anti-terrorist unit as well as special bike police landed at the scene, rounded everybody up for a mass arrest; beating, slapping, kicking everybody and later tied us together with clothes.

“In the process of the beating, I got a cut in my right leg while my colleague, Ukpai got a cut in his mouth, just as our camera was smashed before we were all dragged to the police area command headquarters for detention.”

He noted that on getting to the police station, the policemen ignored all their efforts to identify themselves as journalists. The police detained all of them, together with the 40 traders, who were protesting against alleged intimidation by a rival group of traders. The protesters alleged that their rivals conspired with the police to put them out of business.

The area commander, who confirmed the incident on phone, also confirmed that he had ordered the release of the journalists.

But he said the traders would be taken to the state police headquarters in Awka for proper interrogation.

The Chairman of ARTTANS, Onitsha Chapter, Mr. Sebastian Ebilite, said that his members were on a peaceful protest against the incessant harassment and intimidation by a rival market association.

He alleged that the policemen had also broken into about 40 shops owned by ARTTANS members at the Iweka Road electronics market and allegedly smashed televisions, radios, CVDs and DVDs brought to its members, who are technicians, for repair.

asscend:
i hope so; however i blame information miss road for this one.

Such an event should be very well publicised tru the radio stations and warn the traders to vacate.

Notices should have been passed to every one as to the time frame for demolition.

This hear say is not working. We must learn to be specific when info is passed.

Lagos Lagos, the shanty town is fast becoming a mega city.

Sometimes, these people are given notice to pack and leave those areas, but they will never listen, because government does not take immediate action. Many at times, when a week's notice is given, it could take government 3 months, before action is finally taken. At that point, the traders would have thought government have forgiven them.
