The Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase has said the police under his leadership has fought corruption to the barest minimum, stating that the force has dismissed 50 police officers for corrupt practices and misconduct.

He stated that 56 others were sanctioned for various offences between May and November, 2015.

Arase, who stated this during the end of the year IG Conference at the Force Headquarters, Abuja on Thursday, explained that as part of efforts in ensuring peace in the North-East, 3000 personnel were deployed in the liberated areas.

He said, “Between May and November, 2015, the anti-corruption enforcement architecture emplaced by the Force leadership has led to the dismissal of a total of 50 personnel for proven corrupt practices while another 56 have been awarded various punishments.

“The IGP Monitoring Unit, X-Squad and the Provost Marshal have been charged to sustain the enforcement drive in the upcoming year while the policy of holding Commissioners of Police, Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers, vicariously liable for such distasteful professional misconduct will also be reinforced.”

Meanwhile, the IG has inaugurated a scholarship award for 301 children of personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty and for those who have excelled in their various duty posts.

Arase called on philanthropists and corporate organisations to support the foundation which he said would also cater for children of victims of police brutality.

He said, “The Force leadership will profoundly reward the families of serving police officers that keep faith with our vision for a professional, discipline, civil, loyal and incorruptible Police Force in a way that will motivate them for higher performance.

“It is also for our colleagues that paid the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. They shall not walk alone. We, as their commanders and colleagues, will do everything within our professional powers to keep their invaluable dreams alive and support the family they left behind.”

Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministries based in Enugu on Friday declared that Nigeria will definitely succeed.

Speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, he assured that Nigeria will overcome the challenges presently facing it.

He said: “We have come to commit the nation into the hands of God and pray for peace and God should establish His blessings in our country.

“We wish to pray for the revamping of the economy. We are committing Aso Rock into the hands of God. We are also here to commit Nigeria to Jesus, that this 2015 ‎Christmas, Nigerians will say God is great.

“Pray for blessing for our people, I want to assure Nigerians that in the midst of what is happening, we shall succeed, the time of promotion is coming,” he added.

On the agitation for Biafra, he said that he did not discuss it with the President, saying: “I am silent on everything about Biafra.”

On the claim that he is controversial, he said: “People can say what they want to say, I am a happy man.”

During the last administration, the clergy had predicted the exit of former President Goodluck Jonathan from power in the period leading to the March 2015 Presidential election.

True to his prediction, Jonathan lost the election to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Press Statement

Corruption: Media Persecution Unnecessary

Our attention has been drawn to a publication in a national daily wherein the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reportedly stated that the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh raised an alarm on threats to his life because, according to them, he was being investigated on money laundering charges of transferring funds to key members of the PDP.

This office indeed finds it curious and diversionary that Chief Metuh’s public outcry against the federal government on threats to his life is now being replied by the EFCC with allegation of transferring money to party members.

Whilst we will not trend with the EFCC in their well-designed media trial, we find their action a perfect example of media persecution and mob lynching.

This agency has continued to flout the principles of rule of law and due process as obtained in other democracies where suspects are invited, investigated, prosecuted and punished accordingly if found guilty.

However, it must be communicated that being in control of apparatus of power does not permit any administration to engage in violations, harassments and media persecution all in an attempt to hang charges on select individuals especially on account of political leaning.

Nevertheless, on the issue of honesty, integrity and probity in the fight against corruption, it is imperative that the following issues already in the public domain be addressed;

1. Is it really true that Mr. President had collected his monetized statutory benefits from the government before reportedly collecting vehicles from the office of the National Security Adviser?

2. Is it correct to state that it is the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation that dealt with the statutory benefits of the President as former heads of state in line with the convention and norm of dealing with past heads of state?

3. Is the collection by Mr. President from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) a bit out of line in receiving benefits from government?

Finally, while restating Chief Metuh’s commitment to the PDP’s total support for the on-going war against corruption, we reiterate the need to sustain the laudable democratic values that had been greatly enriched by the last administration.

WE STILL NEED THE NATIONAL TRUTH COMMISSION!!!

There is growing tension in Ado Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State, between policemen and officers of the Department of State Services after two cops were shot on the premises of the DSS in Ado Ekiti, leading to the death of one of them.
It was gathered that the policemen, Sergeant Sylvester Malik and Corporal Mough Tergwu, were serving at the Special Protection Unit of the Nigeria Police Force in Lokoja, Kogi State.....

Sources told our PUNCH that the policemen were attached by the SPU to a former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Dr. Femi Thomas.

It was learnt that the DSS officers had stormed Thomas’ house in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday in three Hilux vehicles to invite the former executive secretary to their office in the state capital.
One of the sources said,
“It was Sylvester that even opened the gate for them. Once they made their intention known, the man (Thomas) agreed to follow them.”

The former executive secretary, it was learnt, followed the DSS officers in his Highlander, with number plate, FCT 408 ABJ.The two policemen were also said to have accompanied Thomas to the DSS office.
Trouble, however, started on the premises of the DSS after some of its officials complained that the policemen were armed.It was gathered that during an argument, the policemen were shot.
A source said the policemen offered to stay outside, that they could not hand over their firearms to the DSS men.

He said,
“Nobody knew what transpired afterwards, but suddenly there were sounds of gunshots and soon after, the two policemen were lying in a pool of blood. The policemen did not quarrel with them, so I don’t know what happened. Malik was shot thrice in the stomach. It was a real mess.”
It was learnt that Malik died immediately while Tergwu was rushed to the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital. Malik’s remains were also taken to the hospital’s morgue.
The spokesperson for the police in the state, Mr. Alberto Adeyemi, said the command was aware of the incident, adding that investigation was ongoing.

He said,
“We have already sent out SITREP to the Force headquarters in Abuja. As soon as we heard, the Deputy Commissioner of Police on ground, and the AC OPS went to the DSS office. They confirmed that two policemen were shot on the premises of the DSS. One died, while the other one is still receiving treatment. We have told the DSS to hand over the officers responsible for the shooting to the police. ”
The Force spokesperson, ACP Olabisi Kolawole said, “The culprits will be prosecuted.”
