Gov. Aminu Bello Masari sent a high powered delegation to Borno state to present a donation to support the state government in its efforts towards feeding IDPs and in the areas of rehabilitation and reconstruction of destroyed communities across the state.

The delegation which was led by Katsina State Commissioner of Sports and Rural Devleopment, Alh. Abdu Abu Dankum was received by Gov. Kashim Shettima on Wednesday at Council Chamber of the Government House, Maiduguri.

The Commissioner conveyed a letter duly signed by the Katsina State Governor stating that he always has Borno State at heart, hence a donation of N20 Million  to Borno State Government to alleviate the sufferings of IDPs in the State.

In his response, Gov. Shettima warmly welcomed delegation to the state and thanked them for the empathy and support to the people of state.

“I wish to extend our profound gratitude to the government and people of Katsina state for the empathy and support you have to shown our people in the hours of trials and tribulations.  Most importantly, by this singular gesture, you have succeeded in cementing the century old relationships between the two empires.

“Incidentally, our relationship goes back to time immemorial, aside the personal relationship between Governor Aminu Bello Masari and I" Shettima said.

Gov. Shettima also took time to appreciate a donation recently made by Ebonyi state government.

“Just last week, the Ebonyi state government sent 600 bags of rice, and 600 tubers of Yam to our people. We are quite glad for what they have done. Ebonyi is not from the north, we share not much commonality with them and they are not from the North. Ebonyi belongs to the PDP. It is state that is 99% Christian, 99% igbo, it is deep in the South Eastern part of the country. But every token of support is deeply appreciated by us because it is only somebody who has the empathy that can really reach out to you. Even a morsel of grain counts a lot.

“Whatever affects Katsina, affects Borno, and what affects Borno invariably affects Katsina. We are not surprised, we are most grateful. It is a support from a brother to a brother. A support from the same people, to their brethren in need in another part of the country”.

Other members of the delegation include Alh. Hamza Mohammed Borodo, Commissioner of Information, Special Adviser to the Katsina State Governor on Political Affairs, Hon. Usman Bala Zango, and the Executive Secretary of the Katsina State Emergency Management Agency, Alh. Aminu Waziri.

Attention!

This is the press statement from Anambra state police command today. I believe it is related to the planned protest by IPOB tomorrow.

The leaders of the protest should act thoroughly to ensure lives are not lost and the protest conducted peacefully. Again the police should mobilise its officers and men and give the protesters adequate protection

Security is everybody's duty. No one should take laws into his hands. The police has the duty to protect and guide protesters to avoid some elements and enemies of both govt and IPOB from hijacking it to cause mayhem.

Their is no harm in peaceful protest.

The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a two man robbery gang specializing in defrauding unsuspecting members of public around Cele Bus-stop, along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway of Lagos.


The suspects, Emmanuel Anyanwu, 39, an ex-convict and Kennedy Ujagbor, 42, a drug addict, were jointly arrested by the RRS officers at Cele Bus-stop, when a victim from whom they had snatched his bag from the previous day when he failed to fall into their trap, identified them at a drinking joint.


Their victim, Sammy Bolaji, was on his way to Ogun State when he was stopped by the duo of Anyanwu and Ujagbor for his assistance. “They asked me if I knew a particular address and I told them that I was a stranger in that area…. As I made to leave them, one of them grabbed my bag from behind and took to his heels. The second one followed suit. I ran after them but I guess they knew the route more than I do, so they escaped before people around could even come to term with what was going on…. Sadly for me, in that bag were a sum of N7,500:00, two mobile phones, cloths and other personal effects. I had to discontinue the journey because all I had on me were gone.


“The following day, my mum chose to drive me through this same spot where my bag was snatched. Luckily for me, I saw these same guys sipping alcohol early in the morning very close to the spot. I alighted not telling my mom what I had seen, at least to confirm first…. As things would work my way, I saw RRS’s patrol vehicle passing by and I waved them down, narrated all that happened yesterday and they followed me to where these guy were sitting.


“They were shocked to see me with the police. They interrogated them and arrested them after confirming the incident…. They promised the officers that they would retrieve my bag for me in Ketu, where they sold it to,” he stated.


Emmanuel Anyanwu, in his confession said, “We are swindlers. We are always on the street looking for people to defraud…. Yesterday, we met this guy. Our plan was to play him and it didn’t seem to work out, so we snatched his bag and ran away. His bag is in Ketu.”


The suspect revealed their Modus Operandi, “Normally, what we do is tell our victim that we are foreigners with a huge consignment of mobile phones and stationery….  We would now pretend that we were in search of marketers with enough money to buy the goods…. In the process, we persuade our victims to show interest in buying the goods by dangling before them an irresistible offer. If they show interest, we tell them to demonstrate their seriousness with a commitment by depositing their phones, money or jewelry. That is how we con them.”


Confirming the development, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Superintendent of Police, SP Dolapo Badmus stated that the police would leave no stone unturned towards reducing crime in the state. The suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.

This is the story of a Nigerian mother of three,Ivie Edobor who was brutally assaulted by her estranged husband, John Edobor, a Zenith Bank employee, who is still walking free while she has lost the use of her right leg.

This is a cry for justice from the very lips of the victim who has chosen to be called a survivor after surviving this gruesome attack from the hands of the very man she shares three lovely children with.

Ivie tells her story in a Facebook post below…

 

[b]'Dear friend,

To shed more light on my ordeal, this is my story.
Two years ago my husband kick me out of his house along with my 3 daughters ages 9, 7 and 4. I was forced to move back to my father’s house and struggled to provide for my 3 children as he completely neglected them and even took them off his medical insurance provided by his office, Zenith Bank Plc.

After much struggle, I finally got back on my feet. Got a great job, enrolled my kids in a new school and rented an apartment for my 3 kids and I.

About Easter time this year he decided he wants to be part of my children’s life again. I allowed him access to the children as I felt we could be civil to each other for the sake of our children. At this time, I had started putting my documentation together for the divorce process. Early hours of June 19th, on my way back from a function, a friend had parked right in front of the gate of my apartment to press the bell for the gateman to open the gate and let me into the compound when suddenly he was rushed at and attacked by a man waving an object.

The first impression was that it was an armed robber trying to rob us. My friend, (a man) pushed him away but he came charging back. At this point, I looked out the opened door and realized it was John Edobor my enstrange husband. Before we could react a group of area boys showed up but rather than saving us from the assailant, they joined him. The proceeded to be my friend on the floor giving John the opportunity to focus his attack on me. He used a metal bar(wheel spanner/ metal rod) to try hitting me on the head through the opened drivers door but I shielded it. Not satisfied with that, he turned to the passengers door dragged out to the floor. I landed on the floor with my legs extended where he proceeded to hit me on the leg continuously with the metal. When he was satisfied he was about going back to join the area boys who had gathered my friend when my neighbour who had heard my screams for help and seen from his window a man striking someone on the floor thinking it was an armed robber, numbed down his balcony with a machete to save whoever was being attacked. On getting down he was faced with my enstrange husband whom he had prevented from entering my compound without my permission on 2 occasions so he recognised him. It was at that point he overpowered John. The area boys recognised him as a member of the security team for the street and backed off my friend. By that time I couldn’t stand up and my leg was bleeding profusely. I was rushed to the hospital where my jeans was torn off my leg to see the nature of my injury. The injury was so severe that my broken bone torn through my skin puncturing an artery in the process. Almost 3months and 2 surgeries later, I have titanium plates and screws to keep my leg in place and I am unable to use my right leg. I still have my 3 children to care for and my life is at a stand still. The perpetuator was charged to court and released on bail 3 days later. Now he moves around freely carrying on with his life. Now is it wrong for me to cry for Justice'.[/b]

We call on the Justice Department, the first Lady of Lagos State, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode and the Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to help the victim Ivie, get the justice she deserves.

BOKO HARAM: WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS IN DE-RADICALIZATION PROCESS, SAYS PRESIDENT BUHARI

President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that advances being made against Boko Haram insurgents go beyond degradation through just force of arms.

Speaking at a bilateral meeting with President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, Monday in New York, on the sidelines of the 71st Session of the United Nations General Assembly, President Buhari said, "the de-radicalization process is also going on, and we are achieving some measure of success. Even suicide bombing is becoming rare, as the local people are themselves rejecting indoctrination by the insurgents."

The President assured existing and potential investors in Nigeria of adequate protection of their lives, investments and property, as the security situation in Nigeria is now very much better and conducive.

President Buhari said Nigeria was working hard to diversify the economy and expressed willingness to collaborate with South African businessmen especially in the areas of mining and agriculture, for the mutual benefit of the two countries.

In his remarks, President Jacob Zuma of South Africa recollected his visit to Nigeria earlier this year which he described as "very successful.” He added that he was interested in the promotion of economic and trade partnerships between the two countries.
At another bilateral meeting with President Macky Sall of Senegal, both President Buhari and the Senegalese President expressed their happiness at the good cropping season being experienced in their countries as it portends bumper harvests which will ultimately translate into an enhancement of the quality of lives of their people.

The two Presidents also reviewed the situation in Guinea Bissau and concluded that political leaders in the country need to make sacrifices to guarantee peace and development of the country.

Press Statement

• Re: “Recession is a word” - Kemi Adeosun
• Quit Now - PDP tells President Buhari

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has further expressed worry over the state of affairs in the Country especially, the Statement from the Honourable Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun that, "Recession is a word". Is this statement as a result of ignorance, lack of patriotism or in-line with President Buhari's comment that his ministers are noise makers?

“For the record, 'Recession' is characterized as a period of negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters, given rise to high rate of unemployment, fall in output, increase in government borrowing, etc. Following this understanding, Nigeria's economy is already near depression. The crass ineptitude and lukewarm-attitude of this APC government is no longer tolerable, and therefore, we are calling on President Buhari and his team to return Nigeria to its state of booming economy before they assumed office in May, 2015, and then quit immediately to allow other capable leaders recover our ailing economy". Prince Adeyeye declared.

For instance, recall that about three Airlines, local and international like some banks, have suspended operations and sent their staff on indefinite leave due to poor state of the Nigeria’s economy. Nigerians are aware that the PDP Government invested heavily in most of our Airports in the Country that resulted to obvious ‘facelift’ and improved operations through remodeling, construction of new airports, refurbishing and equipping of the local and international Airports to meet best practices in the Aviation Industry. But the APC’s Administration has frittered away all the good policies and programmes which the PDP put in place, thereby crumbling the Aviation Sector in the Country amongst other catastrophes it has caused.

"What Nigerians want from this Administration are results, simple! And not resorting to throwing tantrums on the PDP at every given opportunity. Our call for the President to return the Country to how he met it in 2015 is justified on the following grounds: a bag of rice was N7,000 and now is above N20,000; a mudu of beans was N150 and now is N500; one US Dollar was trading for N197 but now over N400; a liter of fuel was N87 but now N145; cost of transportation and other services have skyrocketed. Given our observation since the inception of this government, they have nothing to offer and as such, quitting will be a solution because nobody can give what he/she does not have. APC has failed."
The PDP calls on Nigerians to recall President Buhari's purported 'body language' at the beginning of his administration and re-iterated that governance is a serious business and not about someone's body language' and de-marketing strategies of Mr. President while 'globetrotting'.

"When this government came to power in May 2015 riding on the achievements of previous PDP Administration, President Buhari's handlers and his Party, the APC claimed it was his 'body language' that brought some positive changes the Country was witnessing at that time; so we want to know what are the results of the so called 'body language'?" Prince Adeyeye queried.

The Party concluded that the earlier the President and his team quits, the better for the Country, saying "there is no better time than now to make this call for the President to return the Country to how he met it and quit, or right away quit for a more experienced team to take over".

Finally, we are calling on our Party members, teeming supporters and other well-meaning Nigerians to keep praying God's intervention for the recovery of our Country's ailing economy.

Signed:

Prince DayoAdeyeye
PDP National Publicity Secretary
