Fortune Okeke The comrade governor did not buy plantain chips from the young girl. On his usual routine inspection around the city centre,street traders and street hanwers were on the run,avoiding being arrested,because the governor was against street trading and hawking. But the little girl stood confused on the next action to take. The governor walk up to the little girl,and brought out a cheque book from his pocket and issued a cheque of one million naira to the little girl for her schooling. The governor then threw the plantain chips into the air which onlooker scampered to catch them. He didn't buy the plantain chips. I live in Benin city and the event took place in my very eyes. |

Anini bowed to the royal intervention. In another letter to the bank which it received on September 24, Anini said: “I am no longer interested in your N10,000 as I earlier wrote you. I am doing this to respect the Oba of Benin, following his appeal.” He copied the letter to the commissioner of police, the “- + group,” + Group,” the Ugbowo Unit,” Ikpoba Hill Unit,”“Sakpoba Unit, etc.” And Anini became the most notorious bandit in the history of Nigeria, for in August, at the Supreme Ruling Council’s meeting, the President, Ibrahim Babangida, had publicly asked the Inspector General of Police, Etim lnyang: “My Friend, Where is Anini?” And the police moved. Plain clothes police officers combed and mingled with the rural population of Oroghbo and Evbueisi, Anini’s paternal and maternal home and villages respectively. The intention was to pick him if he made the mistake of going to see his people. Though this did not yield the required results, the police continued to mount vigil in his home front believing, perhaps, that such home coming was a needed psychological prop for a man under intense pressure. But right in Benin, the police instruments of counterattack appeared quite enormous. They declared a night curfew, stretching from 10 p.m. till dawn, and as an incentive, announced a N 10,000 reward for anyone who could give information leading to the arrest of Anini. The force also printed wall bills (poster) declaring Anini wanted. Mini’s reply was a show of contempt. He derided the police offer by making one of his own. He boastfully promised that he would give N30, 000 to whoever could get him arrested. But the police poster could hardly be seen anywhere in Benin because ‘Anini is too hot to handle.” - At the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA Benin, where some were pasted, Anini reportedly visited the gatemen and threatened to annihilate them if he ever saw the poster again. The Poster vanished within an hour. There were no private homes in Benin that would readily allow the poster to be placed on their walls. Even in public buildings, they were rare, a fact which led to hundreds of the poster lying unused on the floors of police headquarters. What Anini was doing, in effect, was to counter the police offensive with a reign of terror that had further swelled the balloon of myths around him. His various daring attack have overawed the city’s population. In the resultant reign of fear, his powers were imagined to be more than human. This discouraged those who knew about his whereabouts from squealing on him. Anini seemed to bask in the infamy that a mention of his name and, more seriously his presence, gave rise to in the city. He operated with a panache that befitted his lawlessness. For instance, he went about town in the uniform of a police superintendent and in a show of how much the symbols of state can be commandeered to praticalise his criminal impulses, Anini in early September, seized at gun point a Bendel State government car with a BDSG registration and heeded for the Wire Road petrol station. He shot the station manager in the thigh and made away with a large sum of money which exact amount the Attendants said they did not know. Like Robinhood, Anini threw the money into the air for the passers-by. Most of the time, he continued to throw money to the people, saying, I rob for the masses.” |
And true to his word, he was around elsewhere in the city that day. This time, though, he wasn’t too lucky. He ran into a full force of the police that was battle ready. Rather than give fight, he dashed into the nearby Ekiosa Market where he mingled with buyers and sellers. The police wary of wounding or killing innocent citizens could not shoot and eventually gave up the chase. It was a close call for the king of the underworld. Anini’s anthology of violent robberies included the mid-day attack in Benin City on Ogbogbovmen II, the Ovie (traditional ruler) of Ughelli, Bendel state’s second largest oil town. The date was September 1 and the Ovie, who had some business in town, was seated, bedecked in his royal beads and other paraphernalia of office, in his Mercedes Benz 200 car, BD I HA, when Anini was said to have struck. The hapless traditional ruler was dragged out and subjected to some indignities before he was made to part with his car. He went back to his domain in a hired taxi wondering, perhaps, whether it wasn’t all a dream. Of all his atrocities, the selective attacks on policemen stood out as the most remarkable. It was the popular belief in Benin City that Anini would kill anything from 50 to 120 policemen before the end of his crusade against the security agents. He had told some that the police incurred his wrath because of a certain business between him and the police which went sour. It was all about Kingsley Eweka, whom Anini fought tooth and nail to free. Believing with a touch of naivety that once he bought over the police, Kingsley would be freed, he was said to have given an undisclosed but huge sum of money to some officers in the state police command. Kingsley could not get the expected freedom as he was later executed. Anini became livid with rage and swore to kill as many policemen as suited his fancy. Police authority denied it, and said they could not get any details about him. His address the police had was, ‘’Law Ovbiudu (the lion-hearted), of No. One Million, Anywhere Street, within Benin City, Bendel State! If the Law’s background was elusive, so also was his person. In Benin City and its environs, a thousand and one myths erected an impenetrable wall around Anini’s personality. He was variously known to be extra-ordinarily fearless and imbued with wonderful supernatural powers the like of which could put their possessor in the class of the gods. Several people in the city said that Anini had the supernatural means to vanish into thin air whenever he liked. They also claimed that the robber had spiritually-derived bullet-proof body that allowed him to operate in .the thick of battle without fear of injury. It was also generally believed in Benin City that Anini relied on a mirror of immense magical powers which he used as a crystal ball. Before he went on operations, Anini was said to see them in his mirror and immediately took preemptive measures to assure his safety. With all these stories flying around, Anini seemed invincible. For fear that he would come around and kill them immediately, no one wanted to talk about him, except, probably the Oba of Benin, and the police too were now soliciting the help of the monarch to get to him. They said it was the “juju- men” of Benin that were providing him with charms, and if the Oba would talk to them, Anini would be history. The police were saying this because Anini had become arrogant and once wrote to the manager of the New Nigeria Bank in one of his show of terrorist power, that he would visit his bank and that a sum of N 10,000 should be set aside for him. The frightened banker sent a save our souls, SOS, message to the Oba who, in a radio and television broadcast, appealed to the underworld King not to do so. |
The general in charge of the US Air Force's long-range nuclear missiles was sacked for conduct "unbecoming of a gentleman" during a business trip to Russia in July, a report says. The newly declassified document says Maj Gen Michael Carey drank too much and met "suspect" foreign women. He could not recall significant events or was "untruthful", the report says. Gen Carey's removal came days after the Navy sacked an admiral overseeing nuclear forces over illegal gambling. The two dismissals follow several other incidents affecting the US military's nuclear establishment. In August, a nuclear missile unit at Malstrom Air Force base in Montana failed a safety and security inspection, after which a senior security officer was relieved of duty. In May, it was reported that 17 officers in charge of maintaining nuclear missiles were sidelined over safety violations at Minot Air Force base in North Dakota. Forgetful? Michael Carey, a two-star general in the 20th Air Force, was responsible for maintaining intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) at three bases across the US - a total of 450 missiles. He is now special assistant to the commander of Air Force Space Command. No details were given when he was removed in October. The internal report by the Inspector General of the Air Force is based on interviews with the general and members of the US delegation to a nuclear security training exercise. "Maj Gen Carey consumed alcoholic beverages to the extent that it impacted his conduct," the report says. It adds that this included briefings, banquets and other events. It goes on: "Maj Gen Carey engaged in inappropriate or improper behaviour when he chose to meet up with and continued to associate with the foreign national women... especially given his own acknowledgement that the women were suspect." He had met them at a restaurant and danced with one of them a day after, it says. The investigators interviewed Gen Carey, but he appeared to have forgotten substantial parts of what had happened in Russia. Their conclusion was that the general "either had a poor recall of significant events, perhaps due to his alcohol consumption, or was untruthful during the interview". The general had been rude to the Russian hosts and to members of the delegation, they said. And he had complained that his forces "suffered from low morale". Gen Carey has made no comments following the release of the report - the result of a Freedom of Information request. Before being sacked, Gen Carey was in charge of 9,600 people at three operational wings, had served in operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. and had received 13 major awards. US Navy Vice-Adm Tim Giardina was removed as second-in-command of US Strategic Command two days before Gen Carey was sacked. He had overseen the nation's nuclear weapons forces. He was accused of using counterfeit gambling chips of "a significant monetary amount" at an Iowa casino.

Uganda's parliament has passed a bill to toughen the punishment for homosexual acts to include life imprisonment in some cases. The anti-homosexuality bill also makes it a crime punishable by a prison sentence not to report gay people. The prime minister opposed the vote, saying not enough MPs were present. The bill has been condemned by world leaders since it was mooted in 2009 - US President Barack Obama called it "odious". The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in Kampala says the government knows there will be an international outcry, which could see some countries suspend aid to the country. She says that Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi might follow up on his complaints about a lack of quorum, while it remains to be seen whether President Yoweri Museveni will sign the bill into law. The private member's bill originally proposed the death penalty for some offences, such as if a minor was involved or the perpetrator was HIV- positive, but this has been replaced with life in prison. Miniskirt ban The MP behind the bill, David Bahati, told the AFP news agency: "This is victory for Uganda. I am glad the parliament has voted against evil." "Because we are a God-fearing nation, we value life in a holistic way. It is because of those values that members of parliament passed this bill regardless of what the outside world thinks," he said. The bill also bans the promotion of homosexuality. "I am officially illegal," Ugandan gay activist Frank Mugisha said after the vote. The bill's supporters say it is needed to protect traditional family values, which they say are under attack from Western-inspired gay rights groups. Its critics say the bill has been pushed by some US evangelical Christians. Uganda is a socially conservative country and on Thursday passed an Anti-Pornography Bill, which bans miniskirts and sexually suggestive material such as some music videos. Human rights activists say the bill highlights the intolerance and discrimination the gay community faces in Uganda. One gay activist was killed in 2011, although the police denied he was targeted because of his sexuality. Meanwhile a local newspaper has been condemned for publishing the names and addresses of people it said were gay. Briton Bernard Randall is facing prosecution in Uganda Holidaymakers and visiting foreigners are not immune from prosecution under Uganda's existing anti-homosexuality laws. A retired British man is awaiting trial in Entebbe on charges of possessing a gay sex video after thieves found images on his laptop. Sixty-five-year-old Bernard Randall, from Kent, faces a possible two-year prison sentence if found guilty. His friend Albert Cheptoyek, a Ugandan national with whom he shares a house, has denied a more serious charge of carrying out "acts of gross indecency", which could see him jailed for up to seven years if found guilty. |
A federal high court in Abuja, Justice Ademola Adeniyi has found Kabiru Sokoto guilty of the crime of terrorism and murder. Sokoto was the mastermind of the deadly Christmas day bombing of St. Theresa Catholic church that killed at least 44 people in 2011. Sokoto was a member of the Shura council of Islamist sect Boko Haram according to his personal testimony during the trial. |
