EndSARS: We’re fighting for a better Nigeria, including you – Tacha tells police.

Reality Tv star, Tacha has urged Nigeria Police to stop brutalizing citizens.

Tacha made this known in a video via Instagram account on Friday.

She urged the police to stop the maltreatment meted out on Nigerians, adding that the masses were suffering together.

“ASUU doesn’t go on strike and exempt children who have police officers as their parents. Whatever it is they fight for, is for the sake of all Nigerian students

“The same applies to the things in the market. A policeman cannot get things cheaper in the market because he is an officer. We are all suffering from the high cost of things in the market.

“So, I don’t see why the Nigeria Police Force think that the youths of this country is their enemy.

“During the EndSARS movement last year, one of the demands we made was for the betterment of the police force. We are fighting for a better Nigeria which includes the police force and this constant brutality on youths is not called for,” she said.

2023: Atiku, Tambuwal have indicated interest in running for presidency – Gov Makinde.

 

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has claimed that former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar and Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, have indicated interest in contesting in the 2023 presidential election.

There have been speculations in the past weeks over the candidates for the next general elections, especially with the issues raised around zoning.

Makinde, speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, boasted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has “eminently qualified” personalities that can lead Nigeria.

He also said the only way PDP can be stopped, is if the party is divided internally.

“Once PDP governors are able to move in one direction, align on most of the issues and the challenges we are faced with, I think there is hope for this country.

“Our party has eminently qualified personalities that can lead this country successfully.

“Some have indicated interest like former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, like governor Tambuwal, like governor Bala Mohammed.

“The bottom line is when we get to that bridge, we will definitely cross it. What is important at this stage, which I will solicit the support of PDP members and the generality of Nigerians, is please support us to have a successful national convention.

“There is no way you can become anything — president, vice-president, even governor — if we don’t have a party. What we want to do first is ensure that we get things right within our party,” Makinde said.

When Makinde was asked if he thinks PDP will take over power from the APC in 2023, he replied: “Well, it is a question that I know Nigerians will answer and they will answer decisively.”

Ex-NSITF boss, Olejeme gets bail after 24 hours in EFCC custody.

 

Justice Maryam Hassan Aliyu of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Jabi, Abuja, on Friday admitted former Director of Finance of the defunct President Goodluck Jonathan’s Campaign Organization, Dr Ngozi Olejeme, to bail after 24 hours in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Olejeme, who was a former Chairman of the Board of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), is standing trial in an alleged N3 billion fraud charge brought against her by the Federal Government.

She was on Thursday October 21 arraigned before the judge during which she denied committing the alleged offences and was ordered to be remanded in EFCC custody pending her bail application.

Ruling on her bail application on Friday, the judge adopted the administrative bail conditions earlier set by the anti-graft agency to admit the defendant to the court bail.

The bail granted her by EFCC through two sureties who are Deputy Directors was ordered by the judge to be continued.

However, Justice Maryam Hassan Aliyu ordered that her traveling passport must be deposited with the Registrar.

The judge subsequently fixed November 8 for trial of the offences brought against her.

Olejeme was on Thursday October 21 arraigned on a nine-count charge in which she was accused of abusing her office, receiving bribes, awarding contracts without due process among others

Her lawyer, Chief Paul Erokoro (SAN), had applied for bail, which the prosecuting lawyer, Steve Odiase, did not oppose but insisted that she must be granted conditional bail, requiring that she presents a surety.

Police allegedly arrest APC’s social media handler in Zamfara.

 

Operatives of the Zamfara State Police Command’s Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) have allegedly arrested one Mugira Yusuf, suspected to be a handler of social media handles of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at Anguwar Dallatu in Gusau, the state capital.

A source told DAILY POST that Mugira was at the shop of one of his friends, Sufiyanu Sani Gusau popularly known as Sufi, when somebody who came out of the Zamfara State Government House started making some suspicious phone calls.

The source explained that when Sufi noticed the suspicious way in which the Government House official was making calls, he observed that there was a problem and the owner of the shop allegedly advised Mugira to take his leave.

“Though Mugira insisted knowing why he had to leave, but his friend insisted he should leave, yet he refused to leave but after a heated argument, Mugira took a bike and left the shop,” he said.

According to him, later, Mugira returned, asking his friend to tell him the reason he was insisting that he leave the business center.

The source noted that while the argument between Mugira and the shop owner was still on, a Hilux van full of police operatives stopped in front of the shop and took Mugira to an unknown destination.

Some residents of Anguwar Dallatu, who witnessed the incident, said the man who masterminded the arrest of Mugira left instantly and drove to the state Government House.

DAILY POST gathered that Mugira Yusuf is a strong political supporter of the APC faction being led by former Governor Abdul Aziz Yari and has been a constant critic of the current government of Bello Mohammed Matawalle since 2019.

The command’s Spokesman, SP Shehu Mohammed, could not be reached for comment on the matter.

Group condemns gruesome killing of Imo traditional rulers.





 The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, a socio-political pressure group, on Wednesday in Owerri condemned the murder of three traditional rulers in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo on Tuesday.

Spokesman of the police in Imo, CSP Mike Mbattam, had earlier on Wednesday confirmed the killing of three traditional rulers who attended a meeting at the area council by unknown gunmen.

The victims were Eze Anayochukwu Durueburuo of Okwudor autonomous community, Eze Sampson Osunwa of Ihebineowerre autonomous community and Eze Onyeaka of Nkume autonomous community.

The group condemned the killing in a release signed by its President-General, Goodluck Ibem and Publicity Secretary, Okey Nworu.

It described the killings as gruesome, villainous, barbaric, senseless and condemnable and called for all hands to be on deck to stem the tide of insecurity in the Southeast geo-political zone.

It also called on youths of Njaba LGA to swing into action and gather intelligence that would lead to the arrest of the assailants.

It further urged governors in south-eastern states to give communities money from their security votes to youths and traditional rulers in various communities and urban areas to work on security challenges.

“It is so worrisome and shameful that our once peaceful land is now turning into a war zone where one cannot predict what will happen next.

“Now is the time to be our brothers’ keeper’ for communities in the zone to work in synergy on matters of security; all communities must rise and defend their territories against invaders and criminal elements,’’ it said.

The group prayed to God to console families and friends of the deceased as well as the entire state

The Osun State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) on Thursday, ordered the police to apologize or face a boycott over the unlawful arrest and arraignment of a Daily Post reporter, Sikiru Obarayese, during the EndSARS memorial.

According to reports gathered, the Osun NUJ Chairman, Wasiu Ajadosu, and Secretary, Bukola Elufadejin, requested that the police should apologize or face a boycott.

NUJ stated, “The police should be civil in approach and stop unnecessary force on citizens performing legitimate duties.

“They should focus on criminal elements. The union will no longer tolerate the abuse and harassment of its members.

“The Commissioner of Police must call his officers to order and educate them on the place of media in the task of policing the state.

“If this command fails to do so, the union may not have any other option than to stop reportage of all police activities”.

Recall that Obarayese was arrested and taken to the station on the instruction of Chief Superintendent Oyegbade Akinloye, Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Dugbe Division.

He was charged to Osogbo Magistrate Court, under the charges of assaulting DPO Akinloye and a breach of peace.

However, Magistrate A. O. Daramola condemned the use of force and granted the request of the Commissioner of Police, Wale Olokode, for withdrawal of the suit and struck out the case.

Police: No life lost in Bauchi, Gombe communities boundary dispute.


 The Bauchi State Police Command has explained that no life was lost as a result of the crisis between Bauchi and Gombe communities over boundary disputes.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Mohammad Ahmed Wakil who stated this on Thursday while fielding questions from newsmen in Bauchi, debunked media reports that a communal clash between communities in Ganjuwa Local Government in Bauchi State and communities in Dukku Local Government of Gombe State, claimed an unspecified number of lives while houses and farmlands worth millions of naira were destroyed.

“It is not true that lives were lost in the crisis that involved the communities. The truth of the matter is that some communities from Gombe State cross the river, invaded some farms of Bauchi communities in Ganjuwa Local Government areas”

“The attackers started shooting sporadically in the air, they destroyed the farms and left. They did not kill anybody from the report received by the command. The District head of one of the affected communities informed the police who visited the area and restored law and order”

“After the incident, the commissioner of police of Bauchi and Gombe State summoned a meeting between the police commands, Special advisers on security who represented the State Governors, Commissioner of youth sports, local governments chairmen traditional and community leaders from the areas and all the relevant stakeholders, where they held a fruitful discussion on how to ensure sustainable peace In the area,” he said

The PPRO said that part of the resolution of the meeting was to lodge a formal complaint to the National Boundary Commission.

Police spokesman said that another meeting between the Governors of Bauchi and Gombe State, council chairmen of the affected communities, traditional and community leaders from the area, will be held separately to discuss the way forward as part of efforts to ensure sustainable peace among the communities.

Wakil said the commissioner of Police of the two states will deploy policemen in the area where the attackers are crossing to prevent the other communities from crossing over to cause any problems.

Wakil who said that some policemen has been deployed to the affected communities to restore peace appealed for calm and solicited for cooperation from all stakeholders to maintain peace.

Recall that a member of Bauchi State House of Assembly, representing Ganjuwa East Constituency, Gazali Abubakar Wunti, told lawmakers at the floor of the Assembly that in the early hours of Wednesday, around 3:00 am, some people from Buri Buri village in Dukku Local Government Area of Gombe State attacked a village called Bara in Gungura ward of Ganjuwa LGA in Bauchi State.

The lawmaker claimed that the attackers destroyed the people’s farms and properties worth millions of naira, adding that the Communities resorted to engaging volunteers and vigilantes to guard their farms.

“So many committees were formed in the past to resolve the border disputes but all efforts ended in futility. They have been attacking the people of the area and destroying their properties and now it has even included the loss of innocent lives,” the lawmaker said.

 A 22-year old Disc Jockey (DJ), Emeka Nwoye, from Enugu State, has allegedly hung himself at Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos State.

The deceased lived with his parents at No. 38, Olakunle Domingo Close, Off Popoola Street, Ikola Ojugbele.

IPOB: Group insists on fair hearing for Nnamdi Kanu.

 

As the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) resumes on October 21, the Greater Igbo Forum has called for a fair hearing in court.

The group demanded that he be produced in court and be given an opportunity to air his own views as is expected of a democratic setup.

Founder of Greater Igbo Forum, Obinna Chikelu Kingsman, who made the call also charged the government of the day to decisively deal with the raging problems of insecurity and also the economy in the interest of Nigerians.

He said the forum stands for all Nigerians as it is not an ethnic group, but for all Nigerians that have an affiliate with the Igbo race either by the mother, by the father, or by marriage or by adoption.

“Having said that, the pertinent issue concerning the Nigerian nation today is about the Nnamdi Kanu’s detention, I can say the first part of it is the equity and justice he deserves to be given a fair hearing in the competent court. As there’s a program tomorrow there’s no question of bringing him or not, he should be allowed to appear in court and then have the opportunity to air his own view and the state too will air their own view that is the right of every individual that is detained by the state, and that is the beauty of democracy and the Rule of Law.

“So my suggestion is to give Nnamdi Kanu a fair hearing, produce him first of all at the court tomorrow and hear him and at the same time look squarely on the way to go about the insecurity issues which a lot of things have come to play, unemployment is there, hunger is there and at the same time the feeling of not belonging that is beside, the Igbo’s are seeing it now.”

Kingsman also said the distribution of the national leadership structure is supposed to represent the Federal Character System.

This, he said, gives everybody a fair level ground where everybody can showcase their talent and strength. “I mean this is a simple thing that calls for justice and implementation and I know there are competent hands everywhere,” he said.

He said though there are competent people everywhere, the country has remained at a level where a section is neglected in terms of being given the opportunity to lead to avoid friction.

“The factors that divide us must be taken into cognisance when we’re looking for peace, that is in terms of ethnicity and religion, and at the same time the people especially the South Easterners, my brothers I plead to them, let us give peace a chance. You don’t get anything through violence, violence destroys but that is why the Greater Igbo Forum stands for dialogue. I believe when all heads are cool, we sit down together and we talk out issues and nobody will play arrogant when the truth is being said,” he said.

Hon. Levi Ezeorah, National President of Greater Igbo Forum also reechoed the call that Kanu be provided in the court and given a fair hearing, which he said would douse tension.

“No matter how you see him, he has followers, he has sympathizers and the issue is, what is this young man clamouring for? We’ve spoken of marginalization, without marginalization there could have been nothing like his struggle, there are people, no matter how you take it there are people that see him as a freedom fighter. What we need to ask is, is there marginalization? If there is, is there any against the Igbo people? If there is, like my forum believes in dialogue is it not necessary to approach the whole thing with dialogue? What is this young man clamouring for? Bring the stakeholders from that region to discuss that, I think that is what will now bring down the tempo and reduce the crisis.

“The continual detention of Nnamdi Kanu in the cell does not solve any problem, it does not, and the Federal Government will do the people good by providing Nnamdi Kanu in the court. A lot of people are receiving the heat and even the IPOB people have been infiltrated by people who are even using that to create a crisis and the moment Nnamdi Kanu is tried properly I think we will reduce the tension.

On his part, award-winning journalist, Mr Ben Okezie, said as far as Nnamdi Kanu is concerned, the government should embrace transparency in dealing with the IPOB question.

“The government should be open, they shouldn’t in anyway twist the arm of justice against him, they should allow justice to prevail and then, I also believe that the judge that is handling the case will be fair and will not in any way allow any government to dictate what they should do. But every eye is open, the world is watching, he’s a freedom fighter and a freedom fighter should not be subjected to the type of injustice that we’re perceiving that the government is trying to inflict on him.

“But nonetheless, I believe that the Federal Government of Nigeria will be fair in everything they’re doing with Nnamdi Kanu whether they’re going to bring him on that day depends on the information that the security agencies must have gotten, if they find out that the atmosphere or environment will not be very very clear for him, then I think they’ll not produce him. But if they find out that everywhere will be secured then I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t bring him to the court for ruling But this what one expects that they should be fair in everything they’re doing with Nnamdi Kalu, there shouldn’t be like using a sledgehammer to kill an ant,” he said.

#EndSARS: Panels’ recommendations should be incorporated into police training – ex-AIG.

 




A retired assistant inspector-general of police, Wilson Inalegwu, says the recommendations of the #EndSARS panels should be incorporated into police training.

Following the nationwide protests for the disbandment of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS), the national executive council (NEC) headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo in October 2020 asked states, including the federal capital territory (FCT) to establish judicial panels to investigate cases of police brutality and compensate victims.

Speaking on the conduct of the police at the #EndSARS memorial, Inalegwu said the recommendations of judicial panels should be incorporated into the training scheme of the police so as to give them a sense of direction.

He advised NEC to set up an inter-ministerial committee that will critically implement the recommendations into the training process of the Nigerian Police Force.

“Looking at the EndSARS report, and having the minister of police affairs, the minister of justice, the chairman of police service commission and IGP, critically, they can set up an inter-ministerial committee to look at the report,” he said.

“When you look at those factors, you will incorporate them in the training and you see to the implementation, using the AIGs of the zones.”

TOP THREE PLATFORMS TO TRADE YOUR CRYPTOCURRENCY IN GHANA

   

TOP THREE PLATFORMS TO TRADE YOUR CRYPTOCURRENCY IN GHANA

Local banks in Ghana have several problems like slow operations, lack of security, and small

profits. Ghanaians want to profit even from saving their money, but local banks provide little to

no profits, hence the need for an alternative way of saving and investing. The best alternative, as

we have come to know, is cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency, also called "crypto", is an electronic currency that the government of any

country does not control. It is decentralized and doesn't require any intermediaries for its

operations. Cryptocurrency works by using a technology known as blockchain to connect several

computers and people worldwide by managing, regulating, and recording all transactions.

You can use cryptocurrency to buy goods services online and in real life through exchange

platforms on the internet. Owning crypto is like owning virtual cash as you cannot see it, and it

only exists online.


TOP THREE PLATFORMS TO TRADE YOUR CRYPTOCURRENCY IN GHANA


With cryptocurrency, all the barriers associated with physical cash and your local banks are

averted. For example, crypto uses powerful encryption technology to ensure that all transactions

are secured.

There are more than 10,000 different cryptocurrencies globally, with over 1000 being used in

Ghana today. The prices of these cryptocurrency increases and decreases over time due to the

supply of the coin, cost of producing the coin through the mining process, number of competing

cryptocurrencies, and the regulations governing its sales. Even with its unstable value,

cryptocurrency is still the best option for long term investment. For example, let's take bitcoin

and ethereum, which cost a dollar or less when first introduced into the market. Now, bitcoin and

ethereum cost over 50,000USD and 3000USD, respectively, which is over 100% profit.

If you want to gain from cryptocurrency and gain huge profits, patience is key, and you have to

learn how to trade right. Yes! If you don't trade right, you'll run at a loss. To trade right, you need

an exchange platform that sells cryptocurrency. Although several exchange platforms are

springing up every day in Ghana, not all of them are legit. Hence, it would help if you were

careful of the platform you chose and researched them thoroughly. To help limit your research,

here are three of the best exchange platforms to sell gift cards in Ghana.

Security Update: Over 50 Bandits Neutralized In Birnin Gwari LGA.


In an inspiring success for the security forces, over 50 bandits have been neutralized during a combined ground and air assault in the Saulawa-Farin Ruwa axis of Birnin Gwari LGA. 

According to operational feedback to the Kaduna State Government from the Command of the Joint Operations, a Nigerian Air Force helicopter gunship provided close air support to ground troops advancing from the Dogon Dawa-Damari-Saulawa axis. 

Following extensive scans, bandits were spotted on five motorcycles, about 4km east of Saulawa, waiting to ambush the ground forces. They were engaged vigorously by the helicopter gunship, and were wiped out.

After this, armed bandits on about 50 motorcycles were sighted fleeing towards Farin Ruwa, and were struck effectively by the gunship. Fleeing remnants were mopped up by ground forces. 

A second helicopter gunship joined the operations, and many more fleeing bandits were neutralized by precise strikes. Assessment revealed that more than 50 bandits were neutralized during the joint operation. 

Governor Nasir El-Rufai expressed his satisfaction at the operational feedback, and congratulated the ground troops and gunship crews on the rout. He urged them to sustain the momentum and bring even more bandits to their bitter end.
