@Regran_ed from @kikiomeili – The police is SUPPOSED to be my FRIEND!!!!

I AM NOT A MERE STATISTIC.
Yesterday, after I had finished from a scheduled meeting with @charlesotudor I left the Eko Hotel and joined the gradually building traffic leading on to Lekki.
Only a few minutes from my meeting, had I unfortunately run into a minor collision with another driver, Mrs Mosunmola Ilori, at the Lekki Phase 1 roundabout. We both inspected the damage(s), conferred and thought first, to get off the road for oncoming traffic.
Just less than 10feet away from all this were the Lastma and Police, sharing the police post at the roundabout.
All I asked, was their assistance (witnessed by Mrs Ilori) in getting some barricades off the road for us to park properly and this scenario I have just described, turned into a full blown fiasco, seeing 4 police officers pounce on me and 2 others on Mrs Ilori and her niece. I have come off this incident with stitches in my mouth and chin. Mrs Ilori as well, to the full glare and amazement of pedestrians and moving traffic, was ruffled up, beat, and dragged on the tarred ground. The Leading man here was one Officer IDEH DONATUS who severally pointed a gun in my chest.
I hereby humbly call on the executive governor of Lagos state, @akinwunmiambode the Vice President @profosinbajo the @policenglagos and its Officers, to kindly exercise the authority of your offices in addressing these civil injustices filed at the #MarokoPoliceStation

Myself, Mrs Ilori, her niece and every other Nigerian citizen, don’t need to feel vulnerable with the police. We appreciate them for their efforts in Protecting Lives and Property,but not for them to be THE THREAT!
THE VICTIMS LIST IS OPEN-ENDED.
POLICE BRUTALITY MUST STOP!
TAG THE STATE GOVERNOR
TAG THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
TAG THE NIGERIAN POLICE
TAG A PERSON OF INFLUENCE

A heavily pregnant doctor, two nurses of the Federal Medical Centre, Owo and two lecturers from the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic were reportedly kidnapped along the Akure/ Owo expressway in Ondo state on Tuesday.

But Four out of the eight kidnapped staff of the Osun College of Technology, Esa-Oke, kidnapped on Tuesday by unknown gunmen regained their freedom yesterday.

Vanguard gathered that the kidnappers numbering over five held motorists plying the Akure/ Owo expressway in Ondo state hostage for hours on Tuesday.

Families of the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic staff that was kidnapped, Taiwo Akinyemi, said that his abductors have asked for N100m ransom before he could be released.

However, the Ondo state police command confirmed that two persons were abducted on Tuesday evening by the suspected kidnappers who blocked the expressway to prevent easy passage of vehicle.

No fewer than 10 cars reportedly ran into the kidnap operation and their occupants robbed by the suspects.

Vanguard learned that the motorists had earlier thought it was a robbery operation until some of the occupants of the vehicles were marched into the thick forest by the suspects who brandished dangerous weapons including AK47 riffles and arrows.

Many passengers and residents of Amurin community, who took to their heels in a bid to escape, sustained serious injuries.

Contacted, the Police imagemaker, Femi Joseph who confirmed the incident said only two staff of both the State-owned Polytechnic and FMC were kidnapped.

According to him the suspects trooped to the express road under the pretence of being armed robbers only to start shooting sporadically into the air and later abducted some occupants of the vehicles.

Joseph was optimistic that police detectives would soon secure the release of the victims and arrest the suspects.

…in Osun

Yesterday, Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Folashade Odoro, disclosed that four out of the eight kidnapped staff of the Osun College of Technology, Esa-Oke, kidnapped on Tuesday by unknown gunmen have regained their freedom.

Odoro, however, declined to give further details relating to their freedom but said police operatives were still working towards the release of the remaining four.

Recall that suspected gunmen on Tuesday kidnapped eight staff of the College and also killed one of them that tried to escape the gunmen.

Institution’s reaction

The institution’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Adewale Oyekanmi, yesterday, said that the staff were attacked and kidnapped around 4:30 pm while leaving the college premises after the close of work on Tuesday.

Oyekanmi said the gunmen blocked Esa-Oke Road which leads to the college campus, stopped the vehicles of staff and abducted them.

“One of the staff was shot and killed when he did not stop and was trying to escape the gunmen in his car.

“So far, the gunmen have not made contact with the family of the kidnapped persons or with the school management.

“The Police, DSS and OPC are helping in combing the bushes to see if they can rescue the kidnapped staff.”

Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants, has died at the age of 57.

In 2017, Hillenburg revealed that he had been diagnosed with ALS. The neurodegenerative disease causes the death of neurons which control a person’s voluntary muscles, leading to eventual paralyzation. .

The average life expectancy for those afflicted with ALS is between two and five years, and there is currently no cure.
Hillenburg spent the early part of his life teaching marine biology before pursuing a career in animation. After cutting his chops on Rocko’s Modern Life, Hillenburg successfully developed his own animated series in SpongeBob SquarePants. .

The marine-themed cartoon starring a high-energy sea sponge premiered in 1999 and remains in production as of today. Now one of the longest-running shows in TV history, a total of 209 episodes of SpongeBob have aired to date in addition to two feature-length films.

Life’s  not  fair to  some humans, from birth to death.  This tragedy is unsettling.  A road sweeper was, this morning, killed by a driver along Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.

According to reports from source and witnesses,   the driver was said to have  ran over the staff,  after  he lost control of his car, killing her instantly.  I hope this case is taken seriously by the authorities . May her soul rest in peace and may God grant her family the fortitude to bear the loss.

The sad news making rounds on the Internet and news,  while its listeners are hoping it is false, is that A helicopter owned by Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha  was said to have burst into flames after it crashed outside the King Power stadium yesterday evening.

According to eye witnesses Fans and players broke down in tears fearing for the worse, as flames were visibly seen from the stadium concourse. It is unclear how many people were on board the aircraft at the time of the crash, as even the presence of  the owner himself wasn’t confirmed.

Eyewitness said that the helicopter took off as normal from the centre circle and was hovering over the south east corner of the ground before spluttering and spiralling to ground, near Filbert Way and bursting into flames. While we await the confirmation of this news as humans, we deeply hope they were no fatalities.

Sadly it was confirmed shortly after this post,  and it indeed was involved and is confirmed dead.

Some gunmen on Wednesday kidnapped five members of the National Youth Service Corps who were travelling to their orientation camps in Akwa Ibom and Rivers states.

The fresh graduates and the other victims were travelling from Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, to Rivers and Akwa Ibom states where they were billed to undertake their three-week NYSC orientation.

They were kidnapped on the Owerri-Port Harcourt Expressway and taken to the Umuapu forest in the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State.

Islamic State-allied Boko Haram jihadists have killed another kidnapped female aid worker in northeast Nigeria, the government said on Monday, a month after one of her colleagues was murdered.

Information minister Lai Mohammed did not identify the victim but described the killing as “dastardly, inhuman and ungodly”, and vowed to push for the release of two remaining female captives — an aid worker and a 15-year-old girl — held since earlier this year.

Three female health workers were kidnapped during a Boko Haram raid on the remote town of Rann, in Borno state, on March 1 that killed three other aid workers and eight Nigerian soldiers.

Two of the kidnapped women, Hauwa Liman and Saifura Khorsa, worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross, while the third, Alice Loksha, worked for the UN children’s agency, UNICEF.

There had been no news of the trio until last month when the ICRC said it had received footage of Khorsa’s killing from the IS-backed Boko Haram faction Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

ISWAP then threatened to kill Liman and Loksha, as well as the teenager Leah Sharibu, a Christian schoolgirl kidnapped from the town of Dapchi in February.

The ICRC last weekend appealed for the captives’ release and for the jihadists to show mercy, as they were “doing nothing but helping communities” in the conflict-riven region.

Information minister Mohammed said the government was “shocked and saddened” at the unjustified killing, and extended his condolences to the woman’s family.

“It is very unfortunate that it has come to this. Before and after the deadline issued by her abductors, the federal government did everything any responsible government should do to save the aid worker,” he added.

“As we have been doing since these young women were abducted, we kept the line of negotiations open all through. In all the negotiations, we acted in the best interest of the women and the country as a whole.

“We are deeply pained by this killing, just like we were by the recent killing of the first aid worker.

“However, we will keep the negotiations open and continue to work to free the innocent women who remain in the custody of their abductors.”

More than 27,000 people have been killed in northeast Nigeria since the Boko Haram insurgency began in 2009, while nearly two million others remain homeless.

Nigeria’s military and government maintain the Islamist rebels are weakened to the point of defeat but fighters from the IS-backed faction have conducted repeated raids on military bases in recent months.

Turkish police believe that prominent Saudi journalist and critic Jamal Khashoggi was murdered inside the Saudi mission in Istanbul after he went missing on October 2, 2018. The Washington Post contributor, 59, vanished after an appointment with Saudi officials on Tuesday.

A Turkish government source said late Saturday that police believed Mr Khashoggi was killed at the Istanbul consulate, which Riyadh, the Saudi capital, strongly denied.

Mr Khashoggi had gone to the consulate to obtain documents needed to marry his Turkish fiancee.

Commenting for the first time on the journalist’s disappearance, Mr Erdogan refrained from giving credit to assassination claims. He said he would wait for the outcome of the current investigation before taking a decision.

“I am following the (issue) and we will inform the world whatever the outcome” of the official probe, which was launched on Saturday, Mr Erdogan said.

“God willing we will not be faced with a situation we do not want,” the president told reporters in Ankara.

He said police were examining CCTV footage of entrances and exits at the consulate and Istanbul airport.

Police said earlier that around 15 Saudis, including officials, arrived in Istanbul on two flights on Tuesday and were at the consulate at the same time as Mr Khashoggi.

“Based on their initial findings, the police believe that the journalist was killed by a team especially sent to Istanbul and who left the same day,” the government source told AFP on Saturday. The journalist went to the building but “did not come back out”, police were quoted as saying by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency.

A Colorado mother says her son killed himself after being bullied at school.
Leia Pierce told KDVR that her 9-year-old son, Jamel Myles, came out to her as gay over the summer.

“And he looked so scared when he told me. He was like, ‘Mom I’m gay.’ And I thought he was playing, so I looked back because I was driving, and he was all curled up, so scared. And I said, ‘I still love you,'” Pierce said.

He began fourth grade at Joe Shoemaker Elementary School in Denver, last Monday. Pierce said her son wanted to tell his classmates that he was gay.

“He went to school and said he was gonna tell people he’s gay because he’s proud of himself,” she said. Just four days after the first day of school, Jamel killed himself in his home. .

The Denver Police Department confirmed the death is being investigated as a suicide. The boy’s mother believes bullying was a factor in his decision to end his life and she hopes to spread awareness about the effects of bullying. 📷: instablog9ja

This is sad and getting out of hand, My goodness, I hope they recover from this.

What exactly is our problem is this country? We are quick to point fingers at our leaders but individually we have big problems. Why are you people killing and eating every single land and sea animal that you come across? What level of short mindedness has eaten deep into us like this? Everything is about share it here and now let’s eat.
No body wonders about the future anymore. I have lost count of the animals that would have helped our epileptic tourist attraction, that have ended up in the belly of small minded individuals. This one has joined its brothers yet again. This is becoming intensely motifying. @muhammadubuhari @bukolasaraki .

It is a real problem that needs to be revisited because as individuals we have already developed a way that clearly involves taking your share of the public/national cake. No one every wonders if it will benefit more people if  they can just  put the public funds into the use it was meant for. Right from the leadership level down to the babies. The moment something involves a common goods that no one particularly owns, then people will bring out their inner greed and fight to the last. That’s why they steal public funds and nothing is done about it except for Buhari who is selectively punishing the criminals who are in the opposite club and not the ones in his own club (APC). So in the case of people  coming across an aquatic animal that lost its way,  and attack it, kill it, and share it among the community,  it is a big issue in this part of the world, where we are referred to as the third world, instead of using the animals to improve our tourist attraction. It is shameful and disheartening.  Short sighted minds only consider what they can gain right now.

Nine members of the National Youth Service Corps who are currently serving in Taraba State on Saturday drowned in River Mayo-Selbe in Gashaka Local government Area.

Taraba State Police Command Police Public Relations Officer, ASP David Missal, who confirmed the death of nine out of the 22 corps members who were swimming in River Mayo-Selbe said seven corpses have so far been recovered from the incident.

“Information available revealed that 22 youth corps members had gone on a picnic party in River Mayo-Selbe in Gashaka LGA on Saturday when the incident happened.

“We were made to understand that while they were swimming in the river, there was sudden upsurge in the volume of water, which carried them away.

“Nine of them drowned, while others managed to escape.

“We have so far recovered seven corpses, while the search for the two remaining corpses is still in progress,” Missal said.

State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Florence Yaakugh, also confirmed the incident, which she described as “most unfortunate.”

Yaakugh also confirmed that seven bodies have been recovered, while the search for the other two bodies was still ongoing by the locals in collaboration with security agencies and the NYSC.

“It’s a very sad development and we would soon have the identity of all the corps members involved in the accident and make such information known appropriately.

“We have very sketchy information indicating that about nine of our corps members drowned in Gashaka yesterday.

“So far, seven bodies have been recovered and we are working with relevant persons to recover the rest of the bodies and to identify them.

“This is a very sad development and the entire NYSC family in Taraba State is already thrown into deep mourning,” she said.
