DAVID MARK SPEAKS ON THE ALUU4 LYNCHING AND CREATING STATE POLICE

During the debate of a motion brought by Senator Ayogu Eze and 98 other senators on the Aluu killings, David Mark said, “We are worried that this has happened, and it is a test case for the police because the video is there for them to identify the perpetrators and they should quickly bring them to book. 

“I was against state police before, but I have since changed my mind. The frequency with which crimes happen in this country and the difficulty the current police have in carrying out their investigations means that there are real security challenges that we need to address. And to address them, we must make sure that there are enough policemen that can police this country. The benefits of state police outweigh its disadvantages at the moment.”

I agree with him, state police has it's disadvantages, but I believe the benefits do outweigh the disadvantages. Please share you thoughts on this issue.

WIFE OF OSUN STATE SPEAKER KIDNAPPED

The wife of Osun State Speaker, Mr Najeem Salaam, was kidnapped yesterday by unknown gunmen in Ejigbo, Osun State. Muiba, the first wife of the Speaker, was kidnapped in the Bamagay Square area of the town shortly after she had left her shop where she sold bags of rice, semovita and groundnut oil.

Her Honda car was overtaken by the vehicle of a six-member gang forcing her Honda car to stop along Union Baptist Road in the Oke-Oyo area of Ejigbo, the Speaker’s hometown. Muiba alighted and attempted to run from the kidnappers but they stopped her and forced her into a waiting car.

The Chairman, House Committee on Regional Integration and Special Duties, Mr Femi Fafiyebi, who confirmed the development, said the news was “shocking.” The kidnappers are yet to make any demands.

Spokesman for the school, Dr. William Wordi, said the university has been shut down indefinitely.  

They deserve whatever is coming to them, animals! Why didn't they wait, so they value their own lives. Cowards!

M.I MADE UNODC AMBASSADOR FOR SMUGGLING OF MIGRANTS

M.I was appointed a UNODC’s Goodwill Ambassador on Smuggling of Migrants at an event that held in Abuja today Thursday, 9 October 2012. He has been selected to speak against the procurement of peoples into a State for financial or material benefit.

Smuggling has been defined as the procurement of such peoples into a State for financial or material benefit. In Europe, Nigerians constitute several hundreds of thousands illegal migrants with half of them concentrated in the United Kingdom. Poverty, crime, corruption and violence have been part of the vicious cycle contributing to this considerable emigration pressure. Traffickers offer young women an opportunity to travel to Europe with promises of good jobs and the ability to cater for their families, while boys and men are smuggled with promises of safety and similar work opportunities.
