Kayode Idowu
For the first time in five years, the people of Borno State are being allowed to come out on the streets to celebrate Eid-el-Fitri .
The state had been closed to vehicular movements during all festivities, be it Islamic and Christian, due to the Boko Haram insurgency.
Many had thought they would be locked in during this year’s Eid-el-Fitri until the Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, surprisingly made an announcement allowing all citizens of the state to have a fresh breath of air.
Briefing journalists shortly after a security meeting on Monday, Shettima said, “After extensive deliberations, the key actors in security in the state unanimously resolved that we want to give our people dignity. We want them to have a feel of what it was to celebrate and we have resolved not to restrict movement during this year’s Eid-el-Fitri. ”
Residents of Borno State have been compelled to celebrate religious festivals under curfew or restriction of movement since 2011, following increased bomb attacks and other violent acts by the Boko Haram.
Available facts showed that the decision was beneficial for the citizens in the state as no bombing incident was recorded. However, the neighbouring Yobe State was not so lucky as no fewer than 12 people were killed at a praying ground (Eid) during last year’s Eid-el-Fitri celebration in Damaturu, the state capital.
Shettima said the decision to allow people roam freely on the streets this year was due to an improvement in the security situation in the state in recent times.
He, however, said that security would be intensified around the state’s metropolis, with numerous security checks. He appealed to all residents to be security-conscious.
The governor told the residents to be at the various praying grounds in time without any bags. He also disclosed that security agencies and the Civilian JTF had been mandated to conduct thorough search and checks on the people.

Brazil’s government will hand out nine million condoms for free around Rio de Janeiro during the Olympics in August, a push meant to encourage safe sex and also defend the Amazon rainforest.
Rio’s local Olympic organising committee said about 450,000 of the sustainably-produced condoms would be destined for athletes and staff housed in the Olympic Village.
The rest will be made widely available to the many visitors who will be arriving in the city in just a few weeks, the Health Ministry said.
All the condoms to be distributed are produced by Natex, a factory in the western Amazonian state of Acre, deep in the rainforest near Brazil’s border with Bolivia.
The factory, run by the Acre state government, uses latex gathered from Amazon rubber trees by tappers who are employed by a government-run program designed to protect their traditional livelihood, foster sustainable use of the rainforest and deter illegal loggers.
The tappers see themselves as guardians of the rainforest.
On a recent outing, Raimundo Mendes de Barros, a 71-year-old lifelong rubber tapper with a stark white beard, gathered the milky-white latex dripping into metal buckets hooked at the base of countless trees. Above, the tropical sun was filtered by the Amazon canopy.
Barros spoke with pride about the fierce fight he and other sustainable rubber tappers wage to maintain their craft.
“Our condom factory, aside from guaranteeing a fair price for the rubber, employs hundreds,” he said.
“It gives the world a product – the condom – that will be very present there in Rio, to fight disease and help with birth control.”
For decades, tappers like Barros have been on the front line of pushing Brazilian leaders to do more to halt deforestation, which is mostly caused by the illegal clearing of forest for ranching, soy farms and timber extraction.
The fight has sometimes come at a heavy cost as farmers and loggers have sometimes retaliated with hired guns. Scores of people have been killed over the years trying to protect the forest, most notably the internationally known environmentalist and rubber tapper Chico Mendes.
His 1988 murder in Xapuri, where the condom factory now stands, helped galvanise the government to take serious measures to battle deforestation and the violence against Amazon defenders.
For several years Brazil’s Health Ministry has distributed millions of condoms from the factory for free at big events around Brazil – most notably the annual bacchanal of Carnival.

Adelani Adepegba, Abuja
The Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board has approved the suspension of four senior officers while the Controller-General of Prisons, Ja’afaru Ahmed in his capacity, also approved the suspension of 10 junior personnel of the prison.
This followed the escape of two high profile inmates, Solomon Amodu and Maxwell Ajukwu who were standing trial for culpable homicide from lawful custody in Kuje Medium Security Prison on June 24, 2016.
A statement on Monday in Abuja by the Prisons Service Public Relations Officer, Francis Enobore, said the affected officers and men include, the Officer in-charge of Kuje Prisons, DCP Musa Tanko; SIP Buhari Dogo; PIPs Stephen Edogbanya; Patrick Teru; IPs Usman Peter and Dennis Makum.
Others are IP Fassan Akin; SPAs Others are IP Fassan Akin; SPAs Daka James; Adamu Luka; SPA Zakari Yunasa ; PAs Asnamal Samuel, Ejegwa Patrick, Isah Ibrahim and Ngede Salifu
It said, “The suspension was sequel to the outcome of the preliminary investigation into the incident and in consonance with Prisons Service Rules 030406 (2008) Revised Version; the officers were suspended from duty to allow for unhindered trial process.
“The commissioned officers among them are to be served with letters of query while the junior staff will be given Form 96 (Charge Sheet ) to explain their role in the unfortunate saga.”
Meanwhile, efforts to recapture the fleeing prisoners in collaboration with sisters security agencies are on-going.
This is in addition to tightening security measures in prison formations nationwide to forestall a repeat of such incident, the prisons service said.
The statement said the CG solicited the cooperation of members of the public to volunteer useful information that could assist in the re-arrest of the fugitives.

Using more than one IP is a red flag even here on nairaland as well, the only way to navigate through it is by providing accurate answers you provided when creating your account to the security questions that will pop up. If you don't remember the answers then you cant log into your account.
