The report found that while the lives of 48 million children had been
saved in the last 15 years, only 24 of the world’s 81 poorest countries

PoliticsSenior Police Officials Who Ignore Phone Calls From Citizens Risk Sack by storchbeat(op): 11:40am On Sep 08, 2015
The new Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos State, Bala Hassan, has warned that Divisional Police Officers and Area Commanders who do not pick their calls may be sacked.

Speaking to journalists on Monday in his office, Hassan said the phone numbers of senior police officers should be available to members of the public so they could reach them on time in case they wanted to report crime or give information.

“A DPO who doesn’t pick his calls is not fit to be in that position,” he said. “All my Commissioners of Police, in Lagos and Ogun States, including DPOs and Area Commanders, should make their phones open to members of the public. They must always pick their calls.

There’s soon going to be billboards for emergency numbers for the public to reach the police. DPO’s should display their phones numbers at the station and charge rooms. Members of the community should have access to the phone numbers of the DPO in their area.”

Hassan said his tenure would witness improvement in crime control, stressing that he was working in tandem with the agenda of the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, and zero tolerance for corruption and corrupt officers.

“We want to improve community policing,” he said. “The IGP said response to it has started leading to reduction in crime. I shall also sit down with my Commissioners of Police to see ways to tackle robbery in traffic jam and other crimes. But there are two ways we are already using to tackle robbery in traffic. The visibility of policemen on the highways and making sure that there is free traffic flow.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Presidency were locked in a war of words on Sunday over the invasion of the Akwa Ibom State Government House last Friday by officials of the Directorate of State Security Services (DSS).

While the opposition party regarded the invasion as a sign that Nigeria is on a fast descent into dictatorship, the Presidency said that the party is imagining “vain things”, a consequence of its comprehensive defeat at the last general elections.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Ekerete Udo, had at the weekend confirmed to the Daily Times that the DSS officials ransacked the Guest House section of the Government House. He, however, dismissed reports in some quarters that the security officials seized a cache of foreign currencies during the raid. Some other reports claimed that the DSS officials seized large arms.
