Gunmen have killed the councillor representing Ward 6 in the Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Mr Karma Agagowei.

Agagowei was said to have been shot in the Opolo area of Yenagoa, the state capital, while returning from the ward congress of the Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday.

The victim was rushed to two hospitals in Yenagoa, but was allegedly not treated due to the absence of a police report.

It was gathered that he died shortly after.

It was learnt that one person, who was with the deceased in a commercial tricycle at the time of the incident, was also attacked with machetes by the hoodlums. He, however, escaped with wounds.

The late Agagowei was among the 105 councillors, who were elected during the state local government council election in August last year.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Asinim Butswat, said he was awaiting details of the incident. ,,

Ozo emerged winner after a rigorous dice battle with the other eligible housemates. Obviously, not a newcomer to the challenge, Ozo reigned supremacy over the other housemates as his closest rival was Vee.

However, Vee couldn’t win the challenge because of the timing of her scores. For his deputy, Ozo selected Nengi as first choice, Dorathy as second and Vee as third.

Winning the head of house games earns Ozo and his deputy immunity from this week’s evictions as well as exclusive access to the HOH lounge.

The new HOH and his deputy selected Neo and Vee as their guest for the week.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has suspended entry requirements for applicants who wished to join the Nigeria Police Force as constables.

The IG in a signal dated August 24 directed that no candidate should be disqualified irrespective of their physical appearance, age and qualification.

The force is currently recruiting 10,000 constables to address its manpower deficiency and the screening of the candidates commenced from Monday, August 24 to September 16, 2020.

According to a statement last Thursday by the Force spokesman, DCP Frank Mba, the applicants were expected to come with their National Identity Number; original and duplicate copies of credentials, (O’ Level results); certificate of origin and birth certificate or declaration of age neatly arranged in two white flat files with recent passport photographs.

The police authorities had also barred persons with bow legs, knock knees, bent knees, and gross malformation of teeth from being enlisted into the Force.

Individuals with amputated body parts, defective eyesight, and speech impediment, had also been barred from the exercise.

The notice also stipulated that applicants must be within the ages of 17 and 25 and must possess a minimum of five credits in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination in not more than two sittings.

The police further stated that women who wish to apply must not be pregnant as of the time of recruitment.

But in his latest order to police commands and formations nationwide, the IG directed his men to attend to all applicants who successfully submitted their applications online.

The wireless message sighted by our correspondent on Monday, read, “Inspector-General of Police directs that you attend to all applicants who successfully submitted their online applications to police recruitment portal irrespective of their physical appearance, age and qualification. You are not to disqualify any applicant for any reason whatsoever.

“Note that your recommendation for each applicant will serve as a guide to ascertaining the suitability or otherwise of each applicant. Ensure that the entire process is transparent and devoid of corruption and closely monitor activities of ICT personnel and other members of the team for strict compliance, please.”

The police spokesman could not be reached for comment on the volteface by the IG as he did not respond to calls. He had yet to reply a text message as of the time of filing this report.

No fewer than 15,000 applicants are to be screened for the ongoing 140 police recruitment slots in Gombe State.

The recruitment exercise started on Monday with Akko Local Government Area at the police officer’s mess, Gombe, and would end on September 6, 2020.

Deputy Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Adamu, said only applicants with basic five credit in Ordinary level subjects, including English and Mathematics among other conditions were considered for screening.

He said, “Over 15,000 applicants were shortlisted for capturing here (Gombe). You should not forget that 10,000 are meant to be recruited across the 774 local governments in the country.”

He, however, lamented poor internet network, noting that he and his men were overwhelmed by the large turnout for the exercise.

He adding that “the challenge we initially faced was the issue of internet network but we refused to be frustrated.

“Initially, we were using just one computer for the capturing but when we saw the turnout, I had no option but to order for two more.”

The herdsmen sympathizers amongst them who'd, of course, be in the majority, as usual, will be finishing off any of the Southern Kaduna escapees/survivors who manage to Church evade the marauding un-uniformed killers.

It can never be balanced or impartial so long as their sponsors and commanders are still the ones in power and calling the shots.

There is a need for general overhaul of staffs at the airport with CCTV mounted everywhere. Even to escort your own family to the airport when traveling, you will pay. Church Most Nigerians sees opportunity as benefiting from a weak system. That's why I always say, it is better to build a strong institution than build a strong man like Mugabe and other African leaders. What Africans are suffering from is strong institution.


Once we have it...white men will rush to come to us and benefit our social justice system.

They will come to tell us corruption is just saving face.....
Corruption is endemic, clearing cars at our ports, custom just give arbitrary charge without documentations of how much was truly paid.
Yet by Ogere, some custom officers will be waiting to impound claiming you didnot pay correct charges.
In Ghana, you see how much you are paying without any agent or Church middle man.

Una happy weekend ooo

Shamelessly do whatever legitimate you do, make money, pay your bills, help your neighbors.

MrGoood:
Write it down today, Obaseki will carry that day, If not with wide margin am sure something will lead to another and he will be there for another 4 years. The CHURCH Governors against Obaseki re either two term Governors or those Osomole assisted to get power, No Governor that struggle to win in his 1st term will support his removal, Ambode yesterday, Obaseki today , Who will it be Tomorrow? God bless APC Gov Zulum that refuse to be part of this. If Apc Governor That personally knows Oshomole can detect the shit he is doing then who re you to support the same Oshomole , The gap will be exactly as the likes and share for this comment.

A lady on social media has revealed how sexually aroused she becomes upon sighting a rich guy with a car.

According to the lady via her CHURCH video below, her legs spread out very fast when she sees a rich guy who has a car of his own.

The lady seemed very serious about what she was saying as she further expressed her desire to finally meet the man of her dreams and tie the knot with him.

In her words;

“My legs, they spread out so fast, especially when I see a car key. I hope I’m going to find that man”.

So the truth is gradually LORD coming out. Is he truly saying that Magu was only after PDP politicians and not after any other group of corrupt nigerians? Can we say that you can only find corrupt people in PDP? Very disappointed with Sagay.

teadrake:
Magu should be given the opportunity to defend himself. If found guilty, appropriate punishment should be melted out. But alas, something is fishy. This government is a big disappointment LORD with his kangaroo approach of solving every problem.
