The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has debunked reports by human rights organisation, Amnesty International, that police officer shot at End SARS protesters.

He described Amnesty’s report that police officers shot at peaceful protesters as “untrue, misleading and contrary to all available empirical evidence”.

In a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, the IGP said police officers acted professionally, exercised commendable restraints and some paid the supreme price for peace during the recent protests and ensuing violence in some parts of the country.

The statement, which was published on their official Twitter account reads,

“During the protests, officers of the Force used legitimate means to ensure that the protests were carried out in a peaceful manner and in most cases, physically protected and walked side-by-side with the protesters.

“Even when the protests turned violent in some parts of the country, the officers still maintained utmost restraint and did not use excessive force in managing the situations.

“Available Reports show that 22 police personnel were extra-judicially killed by some rampaging protesters and scores injured during the protests. Many of the injured personnel are in life-threatening conditions at the hospitals.

“205 police stations and formations including other critical private and public infrastructure were also damaged by a section of the protesters.

“Despite these unprovoked attacks, our police officers never resorted to use of unlawful force or shooting at the protesters as alleged in the report.

“It also beggars imagination that Amnesty International failed to mention or pay tribute to Police officers who were gruesomely murdered during the protests while serving their fatherland.

“The Force decries the discriminatory tendencies exhibited by Amnesty International as seen in the report.”

Recall that during her submission on the crisis that rocked Lagos after hoodlums hijacked the #EndSARS protest, she placed the blame on the youths.

Moji said most Nigerian youths are high on drugs all the time and they go online to do all sorts of things.

She also didn’t have any problem with graduates, abandoning their qualifications due to unemployment to become designers or professional tilers.

Reacting to the Lawmaker’s statement, Beverely stated that the children will not shut up or respect her because respect is earned and none of them have earned it.

She tweeted,

According to that woman, I’m high on drugs and so are you guys. It is well

We, the ‘children’ will not shut up or respect you, respect is earned and none of you have earned it!

So someone should study law for example and then become a professional tailor/ tiler due to a lack of job opportunities and she doesn’t see anything fundamentally wrong with that? What a joke!

A Nigerian mother, and daughter of former Imo State Governor, Adamma Ohakim has called on school owners and teachers to correct very old academic curriculums which portray women only as mere homemakers, who cook, clean and take care of the family.

Adanma who called out her son’s teacher on Instagram for teaching children that the role of fathers is to provide for the family while mothers only cook and clean, stated that she corrected the teacher by telling her that mothers also work.

The entrepreneur emphasized on the need for school curriculums to adjust these roles to portray mothers as doing more than washing and cleaning, to avoid causing problems for families.

In her words,

“I sat in on my son’s online class a few days ago and apparently this is what he is supposed to grow up learning,

“Nothing wrong with cooking and washing but can school curriculums adjust these roles to portray mothers as doing more than washing and cleaning? Stop causing problems for families where the women want to do more than cooking and washing because these kids have been taught otherwise.

“I had a conversation with his teacher the next day. I was seriously wondering how her role as teacher in a school doesnt count as work and if she wasn’t supporting her family with her salary. Most of her response ended with “it’s true o”

“After seeing bodies being thrown into the truck, I felt I was going to die there. I’m yet to process what I lived through in the past three days. I don’t know what I feel but one thing I know is the truth has to be told. While we were there, Wednesday morning trying to sort out care for people, more people arrived in the hospital with gunshot wounds.

There was a teenage boy who couldn’t be more than 13. A child. I was very young when I started hearing in Nigeria that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow, but it seems that tomorrow never comes. At this point, it’s about respecting the sacrifices of those who’ve gone, and trying to find a way so we don’t lose any more lives”.

“Chijioke had an eye for me when we were younger but I didn’t as I was in love with someone else. As life would have it, he saw me again in December, 2019- 7 years a widow with a mind made up on remaining single.

“In January 2020, I got a message from someone called
Jeffrey, he started by apologising for the approach and then he went on to say he had tried to answer so many questions ever since he saw me again at Calabar. He wondered/ thought about the possibility of walking into my life ?.

“I was paranoid to start with and gave him a piece of my mind for even thinking about the possibility of a relationship with me and then I asked if he didn’t see the rings on my finger, my response caught him off guard I guess, he apologised again and ran away (lol). At the time I didn’t know who it was. I looked at our list of mutual friends and asked a very close friend of mine who turned out to be Jeffrey’s’ cousin. For some reason, I felt bad and apologised about my reaction, gave him my number and asked if we could just chat, he declined because to him it won’t be ok to just chat with me.

“Somehow his peaceful nature got through to me and here we are today.”

October 30, 2020

Popular Nigerian Disc Jockey, DJ Switch has joined several other Nigerians to slam actor cum politician, Desmond Elliot, over his comments on Nigerian youths and the use of social media.

DJ Switch has faulted Desmond for calling the Nigerian youths “children”, adding that he has proven that having young persons in power, may not bring desired change.

According to her, Desmond calling youths, influencers and celebrities children is annoying.

Recall that, in a video that surfaced online yesterday, the lawmaker called for the regulation of social media in the country, while he described the youths as “children”.

In his words,

“When I read the comments, I could not believe it, Mr Speaker. The curses, abuses from children and I asked myself is this Nigeria, what is going on?

“Children cursing, people entering Oba’s palace and removing his staff of office, our culture is gone.”

In reaction to the Lagos lawmakers speech, DJ Switch noted that he’s angry because the youths have decided to make their voices heard.

In her words,

“Desmond Elliot calling us children is very annoying.

“He his angry at the celebrities and influencers because they have a voice?

“He is not even angry about the Lekki Massacre. He has proven to us that it not by having a young person there but a competent one.”

I did not burn down any police station. I only stole two crates of Trophy drinks and a generator – Suspected arsonist confesses (photos)

A suspected arsonist, Taoreed Hamzat, 26, who was apprehended for allegedly participating in the burning of Iseyin Police station, has denied the allegation, saying he only carted away two crates of trophy beers and a small generating set during the vandalization of the police station.

Some hoodlums who hijacked the #EndSARS protest that started on October 8, went on a rampage last week Wednesday October 21, destroying private and public infrastructures.

The hoodlums set several police stations ablaze across the country — one of which was the Iseyin police station in Oyo state.

The state police command arrested some of the suspected arsonists and looters and paraded.

When he spoke to newsmen during the parading, Taoreed also known as Shorlex, said,

I joined the other protesters who are mostly my area boys, I saw them looting the station and I also joined and I was fortunate to have carried only two creates of trophy lager beer, and I didn’t even take them to my house. I dropped them right in front of the station and it was shared within us we drank them and shattered the bottles.

I met this small generating set at the entrance of the station, the youths are about to burn it alongside with the Police station, so I carried it to my house, though, I later returned it to the mosque the following day, when our King ordered us to return all the looted items in our possessions back to either Mosque or Palace.

I did not steal this wall clock from the police station, I picked it at entrance of the mosque after have dropped the generator so its not part of the items I looted from the station. Taoreed said

The state commissioner of police, CP. Joe Nwachukwu Enwonwu, confirmed that at least six policemen were gruesomely murdered during the aftermath of the end SARS protests. He also noted that the police cannot ascertain the numbers of the Police officers lost to the sad incident. CP Nwachukwu said some of the hoodlums went as far as going to the houses of those officers purposely to kill them.

Every good leader should be having sleepless nights after watching those looting videos – Yul Edochie says
