This get rich or die trying attitude by Nigerians, is really messing up Nigeria name in the international arena.

What a silly excuse, you carried drug to bury a dead man that doesn't know if you are either spending one million or one naira on him.

Unbelievable!

Point of correction, she is a Biafran.

The extension of the positive characteristics of a father can contribute more to the healing of a nation than all the money-laden do good programs combined. It is these caring, compassionate, respectful and loving attributes that can not only encourage and heal a family, but can be extended outward to a neighborhood, a town, a city, a territory, a region, and a country. God bless our parents��

It is an oft-repeated assertion and is certainly true that the Nigerian military is overstretched and overwhelmed because the Nigerian Police is not pulling its weight. The Police Force has been so debased that, as we have seen in recent attacks against police formations in the country, it does not have the aptitude to protect itself, not to talk of protecting the rest of us. What has not been talked about is how exactly we got here and how we could escape this god-awful situation.
Some military generals last week during a ‘Conference of State and Civil Society Actors on the Intersection of National Security and the Civic Space in Nigeria,’ organised by WISER and OSIWA at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, touched on some of these issues with tender hands in velvet gloves.

It really was interesting listening to these soldiers speak about their relationship with the rest of the country. What comes through is a certain superciliousness about their standing in the scheme of things and a certain scorn about the standing of other demographics, such as the civilian population and especially civil society organisations. But perhaps no demographic is at the butt of this condescension like the Nigerian Police. What was even more painful to watch was the military’s failings to see the correlation between its actions over the years, the near-collapse of the Nigerian Police Force and the current entanglement Nigeria finds itself in.
At no point was this more glaring than during the comment session when a General blamed the civilian population for the persistence of Boko Haram in fermenting trouble in the country. With as much disdain as propriety would allow, he posed some rhetorical questions:

“Who gives Boko Haram food? Who gives them money?”

Valid questions by all considerations but inherently flawed. Flawed because they wilfully failed to take into consideration that the villagers, faced with an armed horde of murderous terrorists, and with no protection from the state, would be unqualified idiots not to comply with the demands of men with blood in their eyes pointing guns at them.
The most pertinent question this General failed to ask, out of mischief or a skewed perspective, is; who gives Boko Haram the weapons they use to massacre civilians and decimate Nigerian troops considering that a good percentage of the weapons the terrorists use today were seized from the Nigerian Army?

A lot has been said about the loss of a number of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, acquired at great cost and trouble, to Boko Haram, which the insurgents used to attack the military super camp in Mainok recently.

Conveniently, this General failed to explain how armed soldiers continue to lose military equipment to Boko Haram and expected unarmed, defenceless civilians not to surrender their food and possessions to the terrorists.

It was unfortunately the same attitude the military brought to its assessment of the problems created by Nigeria’s abysmal policing situation.

In his submission, for instance, one of the panellists, Maj. General EG Ode (rtd), spoke about how the failure of the police to perform its duties has forced the military into the civil space to engage in civil protection, which they are untrained for. Brig. General Saleh Bala (rtd), President of WISER, during my interview with him recently, captured this succinctly: “What business does an air force personnel have on an AMAC task force chasing vendors off the street?” he asked.

Today, the Nigerian military is involved in about 40 operations spread across the country primarily to secure civil spaces, mounting checkpoints and dealing with criminal elements the police should have been dealing with. What the military brings to these operations is their peculiar mindset. Armed with a hammer, everything does look like a nail to it. Thus, an out-of-school boy caught hawking sachet water on the street and a robber are often given a similar treatment.

But why did the police collapse so woefully that they now need the military to prop them up by taking part of the burden off them? The answer has everything to do with the military.

In the 1960s, the Nigerian Police was quite professional with the inherent efficiency of their colonial role models. When the military first inserted itself in the civil arena by overthrowing a democratically elected government in January 1966, the police investigation into the incidents of that night of January 15 remains until today a thing of pride.

But that moment that should have been the police’s finest hour also happened to be the death knell of the force.

First, the intrusion of the military in the civil space, its imposition and enforcement of curfews by itself relegated the police to a secondary force in their main area of operation. To consolidate their hold on power, soldiers patrolled the streets, controlled traffic, and terrified the populace into submission and compliance. They succeeded in emasculating not only the civilian populace but also the police who have to surrender their roles to the military.

In the first 13 years of uninterrupted military rule between 1966 and 1979, and the second stretch of military rule between 1983 and 1999, the police, stripped of their primary roles, became complacent and lost a lot of capacity. Police diligence made way for the crude efficiency of the military, who took over not only the government but also the civil space, shoving the police onto the kerb, reducing them to no more bystanders in the Nigerian State than the civilian population. The police suffered the neglect that would today render it the weightless husk it has become. Of course, in this state, mercantile police officers developed a comprehensive system of further undermining the force for personal gains as amply demonstrated by former police boss, Tafa Balogun’s car farm and massive loot.

It has been two decades since the return of civil rule. Enough time perhaps for the police to regain its mojo. But the lingering tragedy of Nigeria’s convoluted yet hasty return to democracy is the failure of various military regimes in their transition plans to account for the rebuild of the Police Force expected to fill in the gap that the withdrawal of the military from public space would create. The focus at the time was rebuilding a political culture without any thought to resuscitating the custodians of law and order.

And sadly, since the military withdrew from power, there has not been a deliberate effort to empower the police and restore professionalism within its ranks. Therefore, Nigeria has continued to trundle from one disaster to another starting from the civil unrests of the OPC in the South West, the Sharia riots in the North and the secessionists’ agitations in the South East and inevitably to Boko Haram, banditry, communal clashes, kidnappings and the total chaos we are in now.

So if today the police have remained incompetent, understaffed and lacking capacity and the military has to be called in to every village, every market and every traffic gridlock to deal with the situation while also fighting Boko Haram, it is only logical they would be asked to help fill a vacuum they themselves helped to create. Logical only in the sense of it being a short-term solution. But this country has a penchant for making short-term solutions everlasting.
Solving this problem is not rocket science. It is inconceivable to say Nigeria does not have the resources to rebuild the police, recruit and train a significant number of officers in instalments over years, create, train, equip and deploy Special Forces to deal with specific security challenges the country faces. One only needs to look at how much is frittered away in maintaining the political class and their various appendages who have now commandeered over half of what is left of the police force for their personal protection and bag-carrying duties at the expense of the rest of us.

With an army of unemployed youths eager for work, it is obvious that the only thing stopping the rebuild of the police is simply a chronic shortage of political will and long term planning.

In my opinion, absolute resource control is the best. And let it be the other way, were the states will now be giving the central 20% derivation. This will go a long way solving must of the regional problems faced today.

This our typical political leaders.

PRESS RELEASE

UNPROVOKED KILLINGS OF SECURITY OPERATIVES: POLICE ARREST 16, RECOVER ARMS, AMMUNITION, EXPLOSIVES
• No murderer will go unpunished…we are closing up on them, says IGP.

Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested sixteen (16) suspects for complicity in a series of violent and unprovoked attacks on security operatives and facilities in some states of the Federation, particularly in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria. The arrest, which is an outcome of painstaking, deliberate and tireless efforts by operatives of the Nigeria Police working in collaboration with their counterparts from the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Airforce is aimed at bringing to justice persons responsible for the emerging trend of attacks on security personnel and wanton destruction of security facilities and operational assets.

The suspects - Ugochukwu Samuel a.k.a Biggy, 28-year-old native of Arochukwu LGA in Abia State; Raphael Idang, 31-year-old native of Odukpani LGA of Cross River state; Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka ‘Alewa’, 60-years-old native of Orlu in Imo State; Michael Uba, 33yrs from Imo State; and twelve (12) others in the course of investigation, were implicated in multiple felonies committed across several states in the South-Eastern part of the Federation. The suspects were arrested in various parts of the country following sustained, and intelligence-driven sting operations.

Police investigations clearly established and linked the suspects to several incidents of attacks and murder of security personnel as well as stealing, unlawful possession of firearms, arson and malicious damage to operational assets of military and law enforcement agents.

Specifically, investigations revealed that the duo of Ugochukwu Samuel aka Biggy and Raphael Idang were among the criminal elements that attacked policemen on duty at a checkpoint on 24th December, 2020 along Orlu-Ihiala Road in Imo state where two police officers were killed and a Police Hilux patrol van set ablaze. In addition, both were part of a larger group that attacked a police reconnaissance team on 13th January, 2021 killing one police officer. Ugochukwu Samuel a.k.a Biggy, who sustained a bullet wound during an attack by his gang on a military convoy in which some soldiers were killed and weapons carted away, was subsequently arrested while receiving treatment in a hospital. Both suspects confessed to being active members of IPOB and ESN.

Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka Alewa, a pastor with the Holy Blessed Trinity Sabbath Church, Orlu, Imo State and Michael Uba, a prophet with the Association of Jewish Faith, who were also arrested, are two of the masterminds of the various attacks on security personnel, in addition to providing spiritual cover for the gang. Cletus Nwachukwu Egole aka Alewa’s house was used by the gang members to plan their nefarious operations. He also donated his late brother’s farmland for use as a hideout and training camp for the gang.

A total of nine (9) AK47 rifles, five (5) other sophisticated firearms, seventeen (17) AK47 Magazines, 549 AK47 live ammunition, 10 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), camouflage bullet proof vests, walkie talkies and other incriminating items were recovered from the suspects.

Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni has reiterated that the Force will not tolerate any further attack on its personnel or any citizen by any individual or group under any guise whatsoever. He assures that Law Enforcement Agents have gathered sufficient intelligence on the attackers and are closing up on scores of suspects already implicated in the attacks either directly or indirectly for financing, aiding and abetting the criminals. He stresses that no murderer will go unpunished. The IGP enjoins parents/guardians as well as traditional/opinion leaders to weigh in and prevail on their children/wards to desist from towing the destructive paths of crime.

All the suspects will be charged to court on conclusion of investigations.

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has extended the tenure of the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Adamu by three months.

The Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi disclosed this on Thursday while briefing State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said that the decision of the President to extend the IGP’s tenure for another three months was to give time for proper selection of the new helmsman

Nairalanders pls help me thank God, I am among the promotees ��

People are just dying. God protect us all

Just Lekkigate no picture evidence

In their presence amount to constructive criticism while in their absence amount to distructive Criticism.

I hope the committee members have also eaten �

My guy falls in the waiting category, one day he waited until the girl vex go�

The fact that u over stayed is enough for them to disobey.

E pain them oh

Since DJ Swith is scared of sharing her evidence with Nigerian government for fear of being arrested, she should have gave CNN the video of the victims so they show it to the world. But I’m still disappointed CNN still did not show evidence of the massacre . I really want the victims to get justice. SAD!

The headlines we wake up with, recently, are no longer a picture of what Northern Nigeria used to be. I could not forget the video of the bandits that were roaming on motorcycles in a village in Katsina while the villagers were hailing them. May be the villagers had no choice but do that. The issues of banditry and kidnappings have become incessant. Ransom amounts are now breaking news in our media outlets. From the N270 million demanded for 9 ABU students that were kidnapped, to N100m demanded for the six kidnapped ASPs. These are the recent but not the only reported cases of kidnappings in our newspapers. The game has been on for quite a long time. The scenarios make one more disturbed and furious after all these, two or three bandits will submit some weapons in the name of surrendering and they cleanse all the blood they have spilled with a cup of tea and few snapshots with the governor. That’s all.

Something ignited the conscience of northern youths. Few days after the #EndSARS protest started, they woke up to trend the hashtag “#Secure North” across social media platforms. Many people recounted how their families, relatives and friends were either gunned down by the bandits or how they went through ordeals to pay ransoms. Some have taken time to call on the government to take up its responsibility of securing the North while some have opted to curses and vulgar abuses to the person of the president. Some have lost hope and have concluded that the government could no longer address the insecurity. Everbody is doing the best he could eventhough in real sense we are not doing anything as well.

I always find reason(s) to justify the reactions of the masses to the government. Indeed we have the locus to blame the president since he is the Grand Commander of the Armed Forces. We have every right to petition the service chiefs who are supposed to be at the battleground but chose to base in Abuja. We have every right to blame our governors who sat in Kaduna and chose to discuss the social media bills and forgot that their people are dying. We have every reason to be mad at our representatives who have never cared to give a thought on how they can contribute to the fight against insecurity. We have the right to point a finger at everyone who identifies himself with the government.

However, while we do all that, we forgot to interrogate ourselves. None of us asked himself, “How did I contribute to the insecurity?”, “How could I contribute to fighting for a peaceful country?” We should not forget that three fingers will be pointing at us the moment we point at someone else. So, how well did we address the three fingers pointing us?

While I opine that all of us have contributed in one way or the other to the insecurity, I give the most share of the blame to parents before the government we are rushing to accuse. It is true that the government has all machineries to fight insecurity but on a deeper look, would there be kidnappings and banditry if all parents had given their children proper training?

Our grandparents have told us the story of how Northern Nigeria was. That a northerner can sleep all night with his doors wide opened. That a woman can carry a pot of gold from Borno to Zaria and no one will rob her talk more of kidnapping. Were there no poor people then? Did they have the formal education we have today? No. Apart from the good leadership they had at that time, there was also good parenting.

The family is the first agent of socialization. This gives the parent the unimpeded opportunity to train their children the way they did. It is agreed that as life goes on, the children will venture into the society and join peers which will no doubt affect their behaviour but still the parents choose where their children go, who they make friends with and what type of school (whether western or religious) they attend. Surely, a well trained child cannot stand on the road, in any circumstance, to kidnap someone.

I believe, every kidnapper or bandit did not just wake up and decide to be a kidnapper or bandit. It was a process. He probably started from picking fights on the streets, stealing hens and goats in the neighbourhood or some substance abuse. I will not believe the parents have not received any complaint of such kinds before, for a child who became a kidnapper. In any case, it will even be negligent for a parent to say he did not know when and how his child became what he is today. Banditry and kidnapping start at home the same way charity does.

If we wish to become the ‘safe North’ that we were, we must first settle with ourselves. Parents should give their children proper training and upbringing. We need change from every angle. And since most of the religions we have in this country are against all the crimes we are seeing today, I will urge parents to also make sure their children receive religious education.

To end with, I will quote the words of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) when he said: “Everyone of you is a shepherd and will be accounted for his sheep. A man is a shepherd in his house and will account for members of his household, a wife is also a shepherd and will be accountable for her husband’s house”.

PRESIDENTS of the Law Students Association of Nigeria, LAWSAN have disclaimed the suit which national president, Blessing Agbomhere instituted at the Federal High Court, demanding N10 billion as compensation.

The association said they never sent him.

The disclaimer which was contained in a memorandum and signed by the twelve local chapter presidents of the association on Saturday, 21st November 2020 revealed that the suit had been brought to their attention and they were not aware of the president’s action. The signatories are LAWSAN presidents of the University of Abuja, Kwara State University, University of Jos, Nasarawa State University, Benue State University, Gregory University, Abia State, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello University, Yobe State University, Bauchi State University, Lagos State University and Umaru Musa Yar’adua University, Katsina.

The disclaimer reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a suit instituted by one Blessing Agbomhere “for an on behalf of members of Law students association” yesterday 20th November 2020 at the Federal High court and a press briefing made by him shortly afterward where he claims to be representing all students in Nigeria.”

The association denied the claim, saying Agbomhere has no authority to institute the action he did and has been rejected by most of their members.

“The blessing Agbomhere is not the president of Law Students’ association as he claims but an illegitimate usurper who continues to parade himself as president despite being rejected by an overwhelming number of law students across the country and therefore lack the authority and standing to institute an action of such nature,” the disclaimer reads.

The association, in their disclaimer, faulted Blessing for not notifying the members of the association before making the suit against ASUU, stating that there are other better ways to approach the matter before the conduct of a lawsuit, therefore, renders the suit frivolous.

“The suit in question, being a representative suit, requires the consent of the person or group of persons being represented and neither we, our members nor ‘Lawsanites’ were contacted, informed, or aware of the suit in question.

“There are better and more effective ways to approach the matter before considering litigation. Mr. Agbomhere apparently prefers this approach, which, albeit ineffective, generates greater attention, controversy, and fanfare.

“It is trite that the right to education as well as rights that fall under Chapter II of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) are non-justiciable and therefore renders the suit frivolous. One needs not to have deep knowledge of Constitutional Law to know this,” the disclaimer contains.

The association, however, dissociates itself as well as all chapters and their members from the suit, noting that Mr. Agbomhere singlehandedly took the step without consulting anyone. The members of the association, then, call on the general public and all Nigerian students to disregard the suit as yet another ploy by Abgomhere to gain cheap popularity in the country.

The disclaimer concludes: “We dissociate ourselves as well as all our chapters and members thereof from this impulsive and ill-thought step which Blessing Agbomhere singlehandedly took without consulting the student leaders of the various faculties of law, his NEC, his senate or anyone with authority on the affairs of law students and students generally in Nigeria.

“Conclusively, we call on the public to disregard this as yet another ploy by Blessing Agbomhere to gain cheap popularity and political points as the typical politician he is.

LAWSAN President, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, UDUS chapter, Muhammad Abubakar Tsamiya confirmed the disclaimer as a genuine one which representatives of 12 universities have endorsed

“The said National president, Blessing Agbomhere is not our president at all. He is just president to those whom he governs because we didn’t elect him. He keeps parading himself as the president despite his rejection from lots of law students across the country.

....

And some people are fighting because of them. SAD!

He went to report how civil coup failed. Another Dubai strategy.

With the judicial panel of inquiry, I feel this is the best time for her to present her evidence as principal witness than running up an down.

Davash222:
When I see the tools used by these cultists in SW, I can’t help but laugh.

Flog nonsense out from their body and send them to jail!

Same you will start shouting police brutality.

Were are the victims, relatives or friends of the victims?

Compare our own SARS

Police out of their usual myopic way, confusing a synonymous word (appoint/recruit) for selfish intrest. *Sec. 1(1)of our constitution * talked about supremacy of the constitution which is the *ground norm * . I really appreciate the wisdom of the Appeal court for using the appropriate *Statutory Interpretation * to give that groundbreaking judgement which serve a good precedence.
