ROBBERY SUSPECT CAUGHT AMONG POLICE RECRUITS

A  robbery suspect was found among recruit constables undergoing training in the The Nigeria Police College, Kaduna on Thursday. The Commandant of the college, Alhaji Sanusi Rufai, said the suspect was named by members of his gang after they were arrested by the police in Abuja. His details and identity were forwarded to the college, which withdrew, arrested and transferred him  to the appropriate police unit for investigation. The suspect was among 25 recruits the college disqualified for various inadequacies identified during training.

How can a criminal suspect have the guts to try to join the Police Force? No wonder armed robbers sometimes wear police uniforms, they are probably part of the Police Force. Screening for police recruits needs to be very stiff, our lives are kinda in their hands.

Taraba State House of Assembly on Thursday impeached the state Deputy Governor, Alhaji Sani Abubakar. He was accused of gross misconduct and upon investigation, he was found guilty of the three allegations against him. The report said Abubakar used his office to divert MDG projects to Yagai Academy, a private school, which belonged to him.

Secondly, the deputy governor was guilty of using his office to influence the posting of an officer and interfering in the affairs of his Karim-Lamido Local Government. It said the interference was to the extent that the communities were complaining of the negative attitude of the officer.

On the third allegation of the inability of the deputy governor to convene a meeting of the state Boundary Commission, the panel described it as incompetence on his part. Twenty of the 24 members of the assembly voted in favour of the report and by virtue of section 188 (9) of the 1999 Constitution, the deputy governor was removed.

HOT OR HOT MESS?

Her boobs kinda look like they are in a slingshot. Me no likey, you?

OTHER STATE'S PLATE NUMBERS WILL NO LONGER BE ALLOWED IN LAGOS

Yes, you heard right. Lagos State Government said it would no longer allow the use of vehicles with number plates from other states of the federation for commercial transportation and private vehicles in the state. Vehicle owners have to change to the state’s number plates to reflect the fact that they are living in Lagos. This was announced on Wednesday by the Director, Vehicle Inspection Office, Mr, Gbolahan Toriola, he said the measure was meant to achieve “sanity, standard, safety and security” as stipulated by the road traffic law. 

This however does not affect inter-state vehicles carrying passenger from other state, but they must use dedicated bus stops and parks for inter-state vehicles. If they violate this, they will face the law. If  commercial buses are coming  from other states to be used in Lagos, the colour must be changed and re-registered with Lagos State V.I.O  so that they have your information in their database.

"This is a standard procedure. As a matter of fact, it you have lived in a state for about three months, you are no longer a visitor and therefore you must change your number plate to reflect the state. It is done in America and other developed nations",“You must put waste basket in your buses; there must be first aid box; you must carry extra tyres. These are what our law stipulates.” Mr Toriola said. 

So, if your plate number isn't from Lagos, go change it before you enter Fashola's trap. All this new laws ehn, it is becoming difficult to live in  or visit Lagos oo.
