How Lady Was Raped, Killed By Fake Employer In Akwa Ibom – Police

Police authorities in Akwa Ibom have confirmed the killing of a young lady, Iniobong Umoren, while seeking employment in the state.

In a statement on Sunday, Odiko MacDon, noted that one Uduak Frank Akpan has been arrested by operatives of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command in connection with the incident.

He stated that the 20-year-old suspect was apprehended for kidnapping, raping, and murdering Miss Umoren.

On Tuesday last week, late Umoren shared a post on Twitter in which she said she needed a job to keep her mind and soul together.

But MacDon, a Superintendent of Police, explained that the command received a report on the disappearance of the victim three days after the tweet was posted.



He added that operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the command later arrested the perpetrator following available leads.

According to the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, the team led by a Chief Superintendent of Police, Inengiye IGOSI, consolidated on the initial progress made by the Divisional Police Officer in Uruan, Samuel Ezeugo.



He noted Akpan confessed to have lured Umoren to his house in the guise of giving her a job, but ended up sexually and physically assaulting her, which led to her death.

“To cover his tracks, he dragged and buried her in a shallow grave in his father’s compound,” said MacDon who explained that the body of the victim has been exhumed and deposited at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH) for autopsy.

The command’s spokesman added, “The suspect confessed to have told his Local Government Chairman of his atrocity before escaping to Calabar (in Cross River) and was never at any time handed over to the police by anyone.

“The suspect is a confessed serial rapist who has owned up to the raping of other victims. He will be charged to court at the conclusion of the investigation.”

In his reaction, the Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom, Amienghene Andrew, appealed to the youths and jobseekers to be wary of the activities of scammers and other men of the underworld.

He commended the effort of the social media users and other fighters of injustice, as well as condoled with the family and friends of late Umoren.

INEC Office In Akwa Ibom Set Ablaze

 


The office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State has been set ablaze.

National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, confirmed this in a statement.

Okoye said the incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning, 2 May 2021.

According to Okoye, the security guard on duty escaped unhurt but the destruction to the building and properties therein was extensive.

“Items destroyed include 345 ballot boxes, 135 voting cubicles, megaphones, water tanks and office furniture.

“The police, which has also been battling with attacks on its facilities and personnel in the area, is aware of the incident and has commenced investigation,” Okoye said.

He recalled that on the eve of the 2019 General Election, INEC newly constructed prototype LGA office in Ibesikpo Asutan was burnt down while two more offices in Mkpat Enin and Eastern Obolo LGAs were bombed.

He said, “The recent attack on our facility after we have just concluded the inventory of electoral materials nationwide in readiness for the 2023 General Election is worrisome. If unchecked, these attacks may constitute a setback on the Commission’s preparations, including the ongoing conversion of Voting Points to Polling Units, the forthcoming Continuous Registration of Voters (CVR) exercise and the conduct of polls.

“Nevertheless, the commission wishes to assure Nigerians that we will leave no stone unturned to recover from the incident in Akwa Ibom State as we continue to prepare for all electoral activities.”

Nigeria Plans To Expand N-power Programme To One Million People - Jobs/Vacancies



The federal government says it will expand the N-Power programme from the present 500,000 beneficiaries to one million. 

President Muhammadu Buhari said this in a message to commemorate the 2021 Workers’ Day celebration on Saturday in Abuja. 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 2021 Workers’ Day theme is ”COVID-19, Social and Economic Crises: Challenges for Decent Work, Social Protection and Peoples Welfare”. 

Mr Buhari said that the expansion of the N-Power programme would ensure job creation and poverty alleviation through programmes such as Safety Net Programmes to cushion the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

”We also have put in place some socio-economic policies, which also include Conditional Cash Transfer for the vulnerable poor from 2.6 million households (13 million persons) to 7.6 million households (about 32 million persons). ”COVID-19 Rapid Response Register (RRR) for urban Poor, which now has 4.8 million households (20 million persons) which also include urban poor/working class. ”Also, through the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, there is the Entrepreneur Support Programme and, this even includes the vulnerable workers amongst the urban poor. 

 ”We also have the Artisan Support Fund, Payroll Support Fund for small scale businesses, Business Formalisation aimed at encouraging micro, small and medium enterprises by offering free registration for upcoming businesses by the Corporate Affairs Commission. ”There is also Guaranteed Off-take Stimulus Scheme for Small Medium Enterprises for producers of hygienic products and packaged food to encourage entrepreneurship and industries, “he said. He, however, added that the National Youth Investment Fund (NYIF) for young entrepreneurs had N75 billion for three years, all aimed at support for the labour force. 

He also noted that in securing decent jobs, the government was inadvertently promoting social protection and people’s welfare. ”We also know that social protection gives you peace of mind and hope for a better future. 

 “It also ensures access to health care and income security for all and provides for you and your family when sick, unemployed, injured, pregnant or too old to work,” he said. He noted that a happy workforce could be created by employers incorporating the decent work agenda in job creation and retention in their workplace guiding policies. 

”As we all know, decent work sums up the aspirations of people in their working lives. ”It involves opportunities for work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace and social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration. 

”It also ensures freedom for people to express their concerns, organise and participate in the decisions that affect their lives and equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men,” he said. He noted that decent jobs in our workplaces in a nutshell, therefore, reflect all the goodness in labour administration. Buhari, therefore, said fair labour practices must be the norm in the world of work. 

 ”So, the theme for the May Day celebration is relevant and also reflects practical and contemporary issues of our society and not just in Nigeria but globally,” he said.

Gunmen Kill Kogi Commissioner, Abduct LG Chairman



Gunmen have killed the Pension Board Commissioner in Kogi State, police authorities confirmed to Channels Television on Sunday. It was gathered that the commissioner, Honourable Adebayo Solomon was killed on Saturday, while the Chairman of Yagba East Local Government, Pius Kolawole and some others were kidnapped. 

The slain commissioner was said to be travelling from Ilorin to Kabba when his vehicle was said to have been shot at Eruku village a few kilometres to Egbe the border town between Kwara and Kogi state by some gunmen. His remains had been deposited at ECWA Hospital, Egbe, while the whereabouts of Kolawole remained unknown. Reacting to the incident, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Ayuba Ede, said an intensive investigation is in progress to unravel the perpetrators of the heinous act. 

The abduction of the council chairman may not be unconnected with his concerted efforts to rid his local government area of hoodlums suspected to be herdsmen terrorising the council. Kogi State has been experiencing cases of kidnapping and robberies, with many blaming the criminal activities on the deplorable section of the roads. In recent times, several armed robbery attacks and kidnapping cases have been reported across the three senatorial districts of the state. \

ust last week Sunday, police operatives attached to Ajaokuta Division rescued two kidnapped victims who spent four days in the kidnappers’ den. Few days ago, the Senator representing Edo Central in the National Assembly, Clifford Ordia, was twice attacked on Okene-Lokoja and Lokoja-Abaji roads by bandits in Kogi State on his way to Abuja. 

Ordia, who is the Senate Committee Chairman on Local and Foreign Debts, narrated his ordeal to reporters on April 28 in Abuja. He said he was travelling along the Okenne-Lokoja and Lokoja-Abaji roads on Monday when the daredevil bandits opened fire on his convoy while returning to Abuja from his hometown in Edo State. The lawmaker noted that during the exchange of fire between the criminals and the security operatives attached to him, three policemen sustained gun wounds. 

 He explained that one of the wounded policemen was in a critical condition but responding to treatment in one of the hospitals in Abuja.

Katsina Police Arrest Man Over 273 Stolen Handsets

 


The Police in Katsina have arrested one Ibrahim Lawal, 23, for allegedly stealing 273 GSM handsets valued at N15 million.

The Police spokesman in the state, SP Gambo, while parading the suspect at the Command Headquarters in Katsina Friday, said the suspect was arrested in Daura.

“Nemesis caught up with the suspect when he trespassed into the house of one Kamalu Ibrahim, aged 33yrs, of Shagari Low Cost, Daura, and broke into his motor vehicle, BMW 3 Series, with registration number JW 01 DRA and stole 273 handsets valued N15m.”

FG Asked To Make More Investment In Real Estate

 


Federal, state and local governments in Nigeria have been urged to invest more in real estate as the industry has the potential to create thousands of jobs annually and help tackle the country’s rising unemployment scourge.

Making the call in Lagos on Wednesday ahead of a global property brokers conference on May 1 at Landmark, Oniru, founder of GtextHomes, one of Nigeria’s leading real estate companies, Dr Stephen Akintayo, said the housing sector is among leading job providers in most developed countries.

He said the Nigerian Government must take a bold step to tap into this area for employment creation for citizens.

Akintayo while revealing that GtextHomes had lined up seasoned real estate brokers from around the world including Ryan Serhant, and leadership coach, Dr John Maxwell, to educate Nigerian youth on how to benefit from the global multi-billion dollar property industry, said that the firm was open to partnering with relevant stakeholders to provide affordable housing and sustainable employment opportunities for individuals.

“Massive investment in real estate will help reduce unemployment in this country. It will solve issues of security as more people can learn to know they can make it legitimately. That is why the government at all levels in Nigeria must look in this direction because it has the potential for creating thousands of jobs annually.

“As a company, we believe this conference will empower at least 12,000 people in terms of job provision. We are looking at about another 15,000 people being empowered through what we are doing. We are hoping that the number of brokers created through this initiative will get to 100,000 in five years time.

“We hope that at this conference will learn a lot from the likes of Dr John Maxwell, a leadership coach, to fully tap into the goldmine that the real estate sector is,” he said.

As of March 2021, the unemployment rate in Nigeria stood at 33.3 per cent – the second highest in the world – according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

The figure is projected to rise further, according to analysts, who have blamed the government’s reluctance to diversify the Nigerian economy as part of the factors responsible for this problem.

Bello Lauds Buhari For Making HYPADEC Functional After 11 Years

 

Governor Yahaya Bello

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for making the Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPADEC) functional, 11 years after the promulgation of the Act establishing the commission.

Bello gave the commendation in Lokoja, when the Governing Council and management of the commission paid him a courtesy visit.

HYPADEC is specifically charged with the responsibility of managing the ecological menace, to operation of dams, and for related matters.

Bello, who was represented by his deputy, Edward Onoja, noted that the menace of flooding and how it was affecting the states’ agricultural activities, which is the mainstay of their economies, cannot be over-emphasised.

Speaking earlier, Mr Joseph Ityav, Chairman of the Governing Council of HYPADEC, said the commission was saddled with the responsibility of formulating policies and guidelines for the development of hydroelectric power projects in communities devastated by effects of the location of dams.

Don’t Call It Operation Lafiya Dole, See Its New Name – Army

 

Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Attahiru Ibrahim

The Nigerian Army has renamed Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD) to Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) to reflect inclusiveness in the North-East geopolitical zone.

The Army in statement on Friday signed by Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, said the approval for the renaming was given by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru.


According to the statement, the renaming is premised on the fact that the Nigerian Army (NA) has made a lot of progress over the years and needs to re-align for better efficiency.

It also added that the renaming is in line with the COAS Vision of having “A Nigerian Army that is Repositioned to Professionally Defeat all Adversaries in a Joint Environment.”

The COAS further assured the nation that the Nigerian Army under his leadership will continue to pursue the path of joint actions and oneness in prosecuting the counterinsurgency war.

It is worthwhile to note that The renaming also affects the re-designation of the Army Super Camps which now reflect the nomenclature of the formations and units followed by the name of the locations they occupy, while sub-units are redesigned as Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) followed by the name of their locations. All these changes are with immediate effect.

2022 World Cup Qualifiers: Ronaldo breaks silence on disallowed goal against Serbia


 Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to his disallowed added-time winner in their World Cup qualifying draw against Serbia, claiming the whole nation has been ‘harmed’.

Ronaldo’s strike could have won the game for Portugal; however, his shot was cleared by defender Stefan Mitrovic having already crossed the goal-line.

The Juventus forward was booked for protesting before storming off the pitch at the blast of the final whistle and throwing away his captain’s armband.

Television replays appeared to show the ball crossing the line but, the absence of VAR in Belgrade meant his effort had hit the rock.

Reacting to the disallowed goal, Ronaldo took to Instagram to vent his frustration: “I always give and will give everything for my country and that will never change.

“But there are difficult times to deal with, especially when we feel that an entire nation is being harmed.

“We will keep our heads up and face the next challenge now.”

Diogo Jota’s double had put the visitors in control at the break, but second-half goals from Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic and Filip Kostic saw Serbia – who had Nikola Milenkovic sent off in stoppage time – draw level.

FG: Buhari Approves Pension Increase For Retired FG Workers

President Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the implementation of the consequential adjustment to the pension benefits occasioned by the new minimum wage of 2019.

“With this approval, PTAD is now empowered to start the upward adjustment of all pensioners’ benefits according to the approved template,” she said.

Presidency: Mbaka came asking Buhari for contracts, Presidency reveals

 

The Presidency has reacted furiously to Father Mbaka’s outburst calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to either resign or be impeached.

Mallam Garba Shehu, senior media assistant to President Buhari said in a statement Friday that Mbaka who supported Buhari during his electioneering later came to the president asking for contracts as compensation for support.

Shehu said, “An outsider distilling the avalanche of verbiage, will be surprised that after supporting the President two times to win the Presidency, Father Mbaka has made a complete U-Turn, preposterously asking President Buhari to resign or be impeached.

“Here is the point of departure: Father Mbaka asked for a meeting and to the shock of Presidential Aides, he came accompanied by three contractors. The President graciously allowed them in, and to everyone’s surprise, Father Mbaka asked for contracts as compensation for his support.

“Anyone familiar with President Buhari knows that he doesn’t break the laid down rules in dealing with contracts or any other government business for that matter. He requested the appropriate authorities to deal with the matter in accordance with laid down rules.

Shehu further said: “Inside the Villa, discretion prevailed, that if those pictures and requests were made public, the followers will turn against the religious leader. None of it was released. Now, this is what is eating Father Mbaka.”
