Police Service Commission boss laments

Written by Chris Agbambu, Abuja
Wednesday, 19 October 2011


IT has been revealed that out of the 330,000 police staff strength, over 100,000 are attached to individuals, to be carrying handbags for their wives.

The chairman, Police Service Commission (PSC), DIG Parry Osayande (retd), who made the revelation on Tuesday while addressing the Senate Committee on Police Affairs, said that it was regrettable that only 230,000 policemen were left to police 150 million Nigerians.

According to him, “are these 150 million Nigerians supposed not to be protected, if only a few fortunate individuals are being protected by over 100,000 policemen?”

The chairman said that he had made it clear on several occasions that a special force be trained to serve as guards, because the use of policemen for that purpose had become a status symbol.

He said that the police required surgical operation for the nation to get what it deserved.

On his own part, the Deputy Senate Leader, Abdul Ningi, said that it was unacceptable that over 100,000 policemen were attached to a few individuals, leaving other Nigerians to their fate.

He admonished the commission to rise up to its responsibility of repositioning the force, as its function was constitutionally provided and must not be usurped by anybody.

Speaking further on the way forward for the Nigeria Police, Osayande noted that Nigerians had waited long enough to have a police force that would meet their aspirations, adding that even though government had commenced the reform of the police through the implementation of the government’s White Paper on the MD Yusufu Presidential Committee, not much of its impact had been seen.

On the factors militating against the force, the chairman named misuse, misapplication of available resources and lack of accountability through award of bogus contracts and outright diversion and misappropriation of the meagre resources.

Also, he attributed failure to plan and lack of vision as some of the problems confronting the force.

The chairman disclosed that corruption had assumed a great dimension and seemed to have been institutionalised, as some of the officers and men who engaged in the practice had been found to collude with and, sometimes, shield criminals, rather than prevent crimes.

Some policemen, according to him, had been found to facilitate the escape of criminals from lawful custody, obtain money from suspects for closure of case files or to derail the cause of justice, escort contraband, steal from suspects and accident victims and supply police weapons and uniforms to criminals.

I figured they do that in UK, too, but when I write I am cognizant of the fact that many NLs do not live in Yankee or the UK, so I try to elaborate further so as to prevent them from having to draw too many inferences when reading my posts. Back to the topic, she admitted to being psychiatric and I guess that the anti depressants helped her. I am, however, not a doctor, but my point is that taking anti depressants is something that should be disclosed to your partner when in a serious relationship.
of cus she should have told him

cus its a very big issue

you dont want your wife to slice your mothers head one day when you are not home grin

The reason I created this thread was because one of my homeboys married last year. He called me a couple of days ago and told me he received the shock of his life: he saw for the first time a plastic containing some anti depressant pills on which his wife's name was printed (it is typical to write the name of the patient and the medication name on the container in Yankee). He now went and googled the name of the medicine and found out it was an anti depressant. He confronted his wife about it, and she later admitted that she has psychiatric problems for which she sees a psychiatrist, and that the anti depressants were prescribed to her as part of her treatment. He told her that he was hurt that she was not truthful about her medical condition before they got married. In retrospect, no wonder his wife acts very crazy at the slightest provocation.
they do that in UK too. . . . so get to the point lol grin grin grin (joking)

well just because she is on anti depressant drugs doesn't mean she is physco

she prolly depressed bout something and she is struggling to let go

but at least she should have told the guy before marrying him sha  undecided

Nairaland GeneralThree Die After Church Hiv Cure Claims by r231(mod): 2:06am On Oct 20, 2011
At least three people in London with Human Immunodeficiency Virus have died after they stopped taking life saving drugs on the advice of their Evangelical Christian pastors, the BBC reports.

The women died after attending churches in London where they were encouraged to stop taking the antiretroviral drugs in the belief that God would heal them, their friends and a leading HIV doctor said.

Responding to the BBC question on the issue, Lord Fowler, the former health minister responsible for the famous AIDS awareness campaign of the 1980s, condemned the practice.

"It's just wrong, bad advice that should be confronted," said the Tory peer, who chaired last month's House of Lords committee into HIV.
Jane Iwu, 48, from Newham, east London, described one case, saying: "I know of a friend who had been to a pastor. She told her to stop taking her medication - that God is a healer and has healed her."

"This lady believed it. She stopped taking her medication. She passed away," said Ms Iwu, who has HIV herself.

Meanwhile, the director of a leading HIV research centre in East London said she had dealt with a separate case in which a person with HIV died as a result of advice from a pastor.

"I've only seen that once, but it has happened," said Prof Jane Anderson, director of the Centre for the Study of Sexual Health and HIV, in Hackney.

"We see patients quite often who will come having expressed the belief that if they pray frequently enough, their HIV will somehow be cured," she added.
CelebritiesRe: Baba Suwe To Sue Ndlea N1 Billion by r231(m): 2:02am On Oct 20, 2011
Barrister Badr Mohammed Bashir, lawyer to Nollywood comic actor Baba Suwe, who has been detained for seven days at Lagos airport, says he is set to sue the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, for N1billion for breaching the fundamental human rights of his client.

Barr. Bashir told P.M.NEWS today that irrespective of the outcome of the waiting game between NDLEA and Baba Suwe, the anti narcotics agency has no business holding his client for more than 24 hours over alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

He said: “Right now, I am preparing the brief to file for the enforcement of the fundamental human right of my client at the Federal High Court and by Friday I can assure you that the matter will be in court. NDLEA has no right whatsoever to detain my client indefinitely. I am not saying they should not do their job but rather they should do it within the limit of the law. No law permits them to detain Baba Suwe indefinitely but since they have chosen to do what pleases them, then I have not option than to sue them for N1billion”

Barr. Bashir lamented that he has not been able to contacthis client since he was detained on Wednesday last week as NDLEA officials have continuously refused all his entreaties to see him.

“Can you imagine that NDLEA officials told me that I cannot see my client until they are through with him? Where have you heard that when someone is under investigation, he cannot see his or her lawyer. I think this is the height of abuse of the law and NDLEA must pay for this,” he said.

The ace comedian, whose real name is Babatunde Omidina, was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, on Wednesday, 12 October as he was about boarding an Air France flight to Paris, France, where he was billed to attend a naming ceremony.

He was detained after some strange particles suspected to be hard drugs were allegedly detected in his stomach by the United States-donated scanner known as Soter RS.

He has denied the allegations and promised to sue the agency.

The Director General of NDLEA, Mr. Femi Ajayi, said in a television interview on Monday that according to standard practice, a drug suspect must test negative at least three times to convince anti-narcotics agents he is innocent after particles are detected by the scanning machine.

The Lagos airport Commander of the NDLEA, Mr. Hamza Umar, said last week after the arrest that there was enough ground for suspecting the comedian, adding that in previous arrests, some suspects had excreted the drug at the fourth excretion.

For seven days now, since the popular comedian was arrested and detained by NDLEA operatives, Nigerians have been waiting to know the outcome of the drug saga.

The arrest of Baba Suwe is generating a lot of interest in the Nigerian media and social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Thousands of people had shared P.M.NEWS stories on Baba Suwe on their facebook pages, millions have been discussing it and many more are holding their breath to know who between Baba Suwe and the NDLEA will be vindicated.

Some are already calling the drug saga, a tragicomedy of gargantuan errors.

Meanwhile, Baba Suwe’s colleague, Adewale Elesho, has warned that there would be problems in the country if the comedian dies in NDLEA cell.

Speaking with P.M.NEWS, Elesho wondered why the comedian is still being detained after several excretions that all tested negative to drug ingestion.

He said that NDLEA owes the public an explanation “because I am suspecting that they might want to play a fast game and implicate the actor.”

Elesho told P.M.NEWS that he is awaiting directives from former ANTP president, Jide Kosoko, to know the next line of action.

Honestly, this is becoming an abuse, the whole baba suwe drug saga is starting to look like a setup
PoliticsGEJ Reinstates 'Wife Beating' Nigerian Ambassador To Kenya by r231(op): 1:56am On Oct 20, 2011
Gej Reinstates "wife Beating" Kenyan Ambassador ,dr. Chijioke Wilcox Wigwe
The embattled Nigerian Ambassador to Kenya and the Seychelles, Dr. Chijioke Wilcox Wigwe, who was recalled by President Goodluck Jonathan in May after reports emerged that he almost beat his wife to death, has gone back to his post, reports said early today.

https://pmnewsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Ambassador-Chijioke-and-bat.jpg

•Ambassador Chijioke (left): A Mike Tyson? The battered wife (right).

The reports said the ambassador has been sent back to Nairobi, the Kenyan capital by President Jonathan who acted against the wishes of his advisers and Kenyan authorities.

The advisers argued that allowing the ambassador to go back to work will set a negative precedent about wife beating.

The ambassador’s wife, Tess Iyi Wigwe, petitioned the Kenyan police in May urging them to promptly arrest the diplomat before he beats her to death.

In a letter she sent to Mr. Mathew Iteere, the Commissioner of Police, the distraught wife accused her husband of battering her and causing her serious bodily harm which has sent her to hospital many times, often between life and death.

The ambassador denied all the allegations. He was recalled to Nigeria after the incident.



Dr. Chijioke Wilcox claimed the woman did that to herself in bid to tarnish his reputation, I completely believe him and everyone supports his story; the children, mr, President and Myself. God save us from all the jezebellic women
