THE factional leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday, accused the South-East governors, members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other Igbo leaders in the country of betraying the interest and demands of Ndigbo in the current political dispensation.

This came as the Ohanaeze Youth Council met with the Federal government over detained Radio Biafra Director, Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement in Abakaliki, the National Director of factional MASSOB, Mr. Uchenna Madu stressed that the position taken by the Igbo leaders, despite the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu by the Department of State Service, DSS, was a reflection of their inferiority complex and loyalty to their oppressors.

The statement read in part: “The governors, Ohanaeze and other Igbo leaders have proved that they are not representing the interest and demands of Ndigbo; they have shown their soft mind, inferiority complex and loyalty to our oppressors.

“We shall prove to Nigeria that the Igbo governors, National Assembly members, other Igbo leaders are not truly in charge of affairs in Igboland. DSS is buying time in the long incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu to impress Buhari and northern political cabal that they can frustrate Biafra revolution.

“MASSOB is not satisfied with all the meeting of Igbo leaders on Sunday because it did not attach any seriousness on the plight of Nnamdi Kanu.

“How can revered Igbo leaders waste a whole day in a marathon meeting without discussing our simple demand of Nnamdi Kanu’s release? Are they afraid of northern oligarchy, western alliance with north or President Buhari?

Long incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu by DSS will only motivate, inspire and increase the morale of Biafran agitators. How long shall they continue to detain an innocent man, who already command the massive respect of Ndigbo even in detention?

“It is worrisome that South East governors met in their usual manner without their South South counterparts where Biafra uprising also holds sway. MASSOB and IPOB members are not demonstrating or protesting against infrastructure decay in Igboland or non-inclusion of Igbo in major political appointments, but the release of our brother, Nnamdi Kanu, who represents the genuine desire of the people of eastern region.”

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, Friday, handed over series of security equipment and vehicles to the State Police Command and the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), just as he charged them to ensure that the equipment are deployed effectively to tackle criminal activities as residents will no longer accept excuses.

The Governor who spoke at the official handing over of 100 4-Door Salon Cars, 55 Ford Ranger Pick-Ups, 10 Toyota Land Cruiser Pick-Ups, 15 BMW Power Bikes, 100 Power Bikes, Isuzu Trucks, three (3) Helicopters, two(2) Gun Boats, 15 Armoured Personnel Carriers, Revolving Lights, Siren and Public Address System, Vehicular Radio Communicators, Security Gadgets including Bullet Proof Vests, Helmets, Handcuffs, etc, Uniforms, Kits and Improved Insurance and Death Benefit Schemes for officers, put the total cost of acquiring the equipment to N4.765bn.

He said with the new development, the Lagos State Police Command has been repositioned to compare to similar outfits in other modern City States, expressing optimism that the equipment will go a long way to aid security agencies respond faster to crime.

“Our Police Command will have its operations significantly driven by the right technology and equipment that will match the emerging sophistication of crime in our contemporary time”.

“Members of the Police Command have been undergoing training to better equip them for the job. We have also rebranded the Rapid Response Squad of the State police Command to give them a new identity”.

“Given the encouraging partnership and support of well-meaning citizens and corporate organisations, we are on course to making our State a safe haven only for law abiding citizens”, the Governor said.

He however urged the officers of the State Police Command to ensure that the purpose for which the equipment was acquired is not defeated.

“We say to whom much is given, much is expected. Law enforcement officers are never ‘off duty.’ They are dedicated public servants who are sworn to protect the public at any time and place. Lagosians will not accept excuses”, he said.

Governor Ambode also seized the occasion to call on President Muhammadu Buhari to further strengthen support for the state, noting that the security of the state reflects directly on the economic fortunes of Nigeria.

He also urged residents to play their part by volunteering useful information on suspected criminals and activities that might lead to the breach of security in our communities to the Police through the state emergency hotline 112.

President Buhari in his remarks commended Governor Ambode for his laudable role in prioritizing security and the purchase of the security equipment that would make the state safer and conducive for residents and citizens of the state.

The President who was represented by the Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdurrahman Dambazau, said the security equipment is a clear demonstration of the fulfillment of the Governor’s mantra to the people of the State.

WARRI – THE Nigerian Navy in the Delta state has arrested a self propelled barge loaded with estimated 4000metric tonnes, equivalent of 400 truck load of suspected crude oil in what the Central Naval Command, CNC, described as “a big break in the fight against oil theft” in the Niger Delta.

Flag Officer Commanding, FOC, CNC, Rear Admiral Apochi Suleiman who briefed the press Friday at the Nigeria Navy Ship, NNS Delta in Warri said the boat, MT Camille, was caught November 15 along with 11 man crew in Forcados waters where Shell operates an oil terminal.

Apochi said, “The crew captain is making serious confessional statement, but this is such a big break that we can’t let the details out now so as not to compromise the investigation. We have informed the oil majors operating in the area too.

The Ebonyi State Government has warned individuals currently lobbying for permanent secretary positions in the state’s civil service, to desist from the act as government was taking its time to fill the vacancies.

Gov. Dave Umahi a fortnight ago compulsorily retired all permanent secretaries, except the Clerk of the State House of Assembly, Mrs Rose Nwokporo.

Sen. Emmanuel Onwe, Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, gave the warning on Friday while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the State Executive Council (EXCO) meeting.
Onwe said that the concerned individuals had been lobbying for the positions directly and indirectly to the discontentment of the state government.

“These people should be aware that the governor is not in a hurry to replace the retired permanent secretaries and when eventually it comes, it would be on merit.

“They should give the governor, his deputy and other top government officials, the needed peace and respite instead of the barrage of disturbances in form of lobbying.

“They are therefore warned to desist from this act to enable government functionaries concentrate on their task of effectively piloting the state’s affairs,” he said.

Super Eagles midfielder, John Obi Mikel may be forced to leave Chelsea during the January window following lack of playing time under coach Jose Mourinho.

Mikel, has not featured for the Blues since his only Premier League start of the season and

his agent John Shittu revealed they will wait and see when it comes to his Chelsea future, with the transfer window set to open in just over a month.

“The player had offers to move at the beginning of the season, but Chelsea refused to sell because they probably have him in their plans.”

“Now we have to wait and see what happens.”

The 28-year-old was the subject of a number of transfer offers in the summer but stayed at Stamford Bridge, his home since arriving back in 2006. But he has found his route to regular football blocked by the likes of Ramires and Nemanja Matic and his last appearance was a start against Liverpool in late October.

The accused, Chukwuma, 30, and James, 28, both from Mararaba are facing a five-count charge of criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, mischief and theft.

The Prosecutor, Cpl. Friday Adaji, told the court that the accused conspired to commit the offence on Nov. 23 at about 4:00 p.m. along Tudun Wada in Mararaba.
