Why arrest only the executioners of that well orchestrated and ordered murders?
They were only executing the directive given by a certain jihadist,that later became the worst president,till now,that Nigeria has ever known,a certain supporter of APC Buhari,who was the one that then said,"baboons will be soaked in blood".This mob was only carrying out that order.
Buhari should be arrested and charged with multiple capital crimes too.He no longer enjoys immunity.

Racoon:
Hope it includes Buhari whose inflammatory statements and rhetorics then led to the gruesome deaths of those innocent corpers? No sound criminal justice system in this nation.

Bauchi State Police Command has arrested suspects believed to be the masterminds of the 2011 post-election crisis in the state.

The crisis then led to the deaths of six National Youth Service Corps members and several police officers.

According to the Daily Post, this was disclosed by the Bauchi State Commissioner of Police, Auwal Muhammad, during a press briefing at the police headquarters on Thursday.

Muhammad explained that the initial failure to apprehend the suspects was due to the chaotic nature of the mob action that erupted at the time.

The post-election violence broke out shortly after the announcement of the victory of the then President Goodluck Jonathan in Giade Local Government Area of the state where a divisional police headquarters was set ablaze.

This resulted in the killing of the six corps members who took cover under the police.

While parading the suspects on Thursday, Auwal said: “On 18th April 2011 between the hours of 12:30 pm and 1pm, a group of youths led by one Kabiru Musa, known as Dawa, stormed Giade Divisional Police Headquarters, following the announcement of the 2011 presidential election result.

“Armed with weapons which included a knife popularly called Barandami, cutlasses, sticks, and petrol, they attacked PC Rifkatu Bappa who was on counter duty at the charge room.


“As a result, she sustained various degrees of injuries and was immediately evacuated to FMC Azare and was confirmed dead by a medical doctor.

“Similarly, the said Dawa who was the ringleader and his gang members used petrol to set ablaze a motor vehicle, one Toyota Starlet belonging to Mr Peter Okoye, which was kept for safekeeping during the peak of the attack.

“In furtherance of this dastardly act, the said Dawa attacked, Bridget Peter Okoye, wife of Mr Peter Okoye, cut off her fingers, set fire to the said motor vehicle, and burned down the station which led to the gruesome murder of six corps members who were at the station for safety.”

He mentioned the deceased corps members as Nkwazema Anslem (Imo State) and Adewumi Seun Paul (Ekiti State).

Others are Okpokiri Obinna (Abia State), Teidi Olawale Tosin (Kogi State), Adewei Elliot (Bayelsa State) and Ukeoma Ikechukwu Chibuzor (Imo State).

According to the CP, the deceased NYSC members attempted to flee, but Dawa and his gang pursued them to their places of refuge and gruesomely murdered them one by one.

The syndicate also attacked and looted traders’ shops, carting away their wares.

“After a manhunt for a decade, the suspect has been arrested and the investigation is ongoing, after which he will be arraigned in court based on the findings of the investigation, ” he stated.

The Federal Government on Thursday inaugurated a 5.2 million standard cubic feet per day Compressed Natural Gas plant in Lagos, in an attempt to lessen the impact of petrol Subsidies removal on Nigerians.

The CNG plant was built through a partnership between NNPC Gas Marketing Limited and Transit Gas Nigeria Limited, owned by Axxela.

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, who commissioned the plant at the Isolo Industrial Area, Ilasamaja in Lagos, said the occasion, under the theme ‘From Gas to Prosperity: CNG for All’, represents a critical turning point in the development of affordable, sustainable, and secure energy sources in the country.

The Minister described 2024 as a historic year for Nigerians, stressing that through his courageous decision to eliminate fuel subsidies and promote the acceptability and broader use of gas, President Bola Tinubu has brought about several fresh beginnings in the lives of Nigerians.

“Although the elimination of the Premium Motor Spirit subsidy has brought difficulties, it has also given us a once-in-a-lifetime chance to invent and adopt more economical, efficient, and sustainable energy alternatives,” the Minister stated.

Ekpo noted that the use of CNG as a transport fuel is a mature technology used globally as it is the cleanest burning fuel in terms of Nitro-oxide and soot emissions.

While it can be employed to power passenger cars and city buses, CNG passenger vehicles emit 5-10 per cent less CO2 than gasoline-powered vehicles, the minister added.

Earlier in his remarks, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, said to maintain energy security and provide more access to CNG by the Nigerian populace, NNPC reached a final investment decision with Axxela Limited to deliver six CNG mother and service stations plants and stations of 5.2mmscfd capacity each, in selected locations spread across the six geopolitical zones including the FCT to ease access to bulk CNG.

He stated that the move was in addition to NNPC Retail’s phased deployment of CNG in over 100 stations across the country as well as other joint venture partnerships on CNG.

In particular, Kyari revealed that the commissioning of the NNPC CNG Station in Ilasamaja was part of NNPC’s efforts to grow domestic gas supply and utilisation by deploying gas infrastructure nationwide.


He said the Petroleum Industry Act explicitly mandated NNPC to promote domestic gas utilisation, thereby strengthening the company’s resolve to deploy critical gas infrastructure projects across the country.

“NNPC will continue to deliver more strategic projects for the benefit of our country. We shall utilise our gas resources for industrialisation, power generation, and economic prosperity for all,” Kyari stated.

In his speech, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu said the establishment of the CNG plant aligns perfectly with his vision for economic development, job creation, and industrialisation in the State.

He said in demonstration of its resolve to champion CNG utilisation across Lagos State, the State Government has concluded plans to deploy 2,500 conversion kits and over 2,000 new CNG buses, which will commence operations before the end of the year.


The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, represented by the State Commissioner of Environment, Mr Ola Oresanya, said the state is supporting capacity building in CNG conversion to ensure sustainability and promote economic development within the state and beyond.

In his goodwill message, the Chief Executive of the Presidential CNG Initiative, Michael Oluwagbemi described the plant commissioning as a testament to President Tinubu’s commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions for Nigerians.

The CEO of Axxela, Bolaji Osunsanya thanked all the stakeholders especially the NNPC for its consistent vision towards the delivery of the plant, stressing that his company’s many years of preparation have now met a golden opportunity to deliver cleaner, cheaper energy to Nigerians.

The NNPC CNG Station Ilasamaja is a 5.2MMscf per day capacity station that can serve vehicles and also supply gas to industries and other companies.

The Facility has dispensing points for filling cars, buses, trucks, and tricycles, utilising CNG, and can fill about 3,700 cars or 600 trucks/buses every day, thereby providing a constant supply of CNG.

The Federal Government has disclosed that it has electrified no fewer than 15 federal universities and teaching hospitals with hybrid solar grids with a combined capacity of 35.5 megawatts.

The Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency, Abba Aliyu, stated this at the just-concluded Alliance for Rural Electrification Energy Access Forum in Lagos.

Aliyu disclosed that the aim was to supply 24-hour electricity to 350,000 students while giving 50,000 lecturers access to electricity.

He explained that the Nigeria Electrification Project, funded by the World Bank and the African Development Bank, was a $550m project.

One of the universities, he said, included the University of Maiduguri and its teaching, where a 12MW solar grid was installed.

Others are the University of Abuja; the Federal University, Yobe; the Federal University of Calabar and its teaching hospital; the Nigerian Defence Academy; the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta; the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, and others.

The REA boss maintained that the projects in those academic institutions would be launched by the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, in the next two months.

He added that similar projects were ongoing at the University of Port Harcourt; the University of Uyo; the Federal University of Technology, Owerri; the Federal University of Technology, Akure; the Federal University, Lafia; Modibbo Adama University, Yola, and the Federal University, Lokoja.


“The University of Maiduguri’s project is one of the biggest ever done in this country. This is powering the entire university and the only teaching hospital in the entire geopolitical zone. It is also supplying electricity to the water treatment plant in Borno State. This is a 12MW project that is almost completed, and it will be commissioned by the minister in the next two months.

“These projects are going to impact 350,000 students with 24-hour electricity supply. It will also provide over 50,000 lecturers with access to electricity,” Aliyu stated.

He added that over 150 mini-grids had been deployed across the country, with 100 50-kilowatt containerised mini-grids across about 100 health institutions.

He stated that the agency would also launch an interconnected mini-grid of about 1MW to serve 6,000 households in Ondo State.

On complaints that projects executed by the REA did not have a national spread, Aliyu reacted, “The challenge is enormous. No matter the intervention that REA does, you hardly see it until we can scale up to a more significant level. No matter what we do, until we start deploying mini-grids in thousands, that is when we can address this. We are still in the hundreds”.

The PUNCH reported that President Bola Tinubu had approved a $750m World Bank loan for the construction of 1,200 mini-grids in rural communities across the country.


According to Aliyu, Tinubu approved the fund for distributed access through a renewable energy scale-up project, which is aimed at providing energy access to Nigerians in rural communities.

There is my dear, it spoiksnthe ambience of a place. Gives the place an offensive, old and outdated look.

A house with rusted roof cannot be new inside, it will have old, outdated fittings which may also be leaky or falling apart. Renovation is recommended.

vanbonattel:
Very nice road, but

The government needs to invest in roofing materials

What shall it profit a people to run on new roads and still live under rusted roof?
