An Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Christopher Akpan, attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) Lagos State Command, has died in his office while preparing for an operation.

A police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity, said

“He returned from an operation and was to lead members of his team to arrest some criminals. They were waiting for him to change and come out but they did not see him. When his boys did not see him after a while, they went to his office and knocked on the door but got no response. At first, they thought he might have gone out and so, they decided to call his phone.

Surprisingly, his phone was ringing inside his office but no one picked it. So, they became suspicious and forced the door open. That was how they saw him on his chair motionless.

They rushed him to the hospital but he was confirmed dead on arrival. His death is still a shock to many officers working at SARS. He has been posted as 2IC of IRT Port Harcourt and was waiting for release to go.”

Comrade Victor James held a meeting with the Youngest British Member of Parliament, Zarah Sultana – the Member Of Parliament for Coventry South.

The meeting was held in pursuance to the mystic disappearance of Ozi Akerele after a night out with friends in Coventry city centre on the 31st of January, 2015. The body of Ozi Akerele was later discovered by two children in a disused graveyard in Old Church Road, Foleshill, on April 21 2016, about 15 months after he was declared missing.

The nonchalant manner with which the local authorities handled the situation has Comrade Victor James voicing out the disappointment and displeasure of the African youth community in West Midlands.

Moving forward to redress the situation, Comrade Victor James stated that after his meeting with the African community leaders across West Midlands last weekend, preventive measures and strategic problem solving mechanism were brought up.

In Comrade James Victor’s words,

We want Coventry Council to set up a Niger Delta and Nigerian community centre in Coventry. As you do know, Nigeria and Niger Delta have an overwhelming population in Coventry due to the university intake of our students and families who settled in the city due to its conducive and peaceful atmosphere. It also would be appreciated if the West Midlands government establish a youth centre for Nigerians and Niger Deltans, so that our community can work with the authorities in various ways and also invest in Nigeria, and diplomatic relations between West Midlands and Nigeria. This act will encourage them to invest in their home and keep in touch with their community and their culture too. It also will reduce the influence of knife crime which is spreading in Coventry.

James went on to say,

Nigerians contributes immensely to Coventry economy through university fees and it would be great to establish community centre for Nigerians in Coventry to encourage and maintain diversity, in pursuance to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Act 2010.

Following UK exit from European Union, the British government is strictly seeking to secure trade opportunities in any part of Africa, especially Niger Delta an oil producing region where I come from and Nigeria at large as common wealth member.

Zarah Sultana, Member of Parliament for Coventry South has taken it up and would definitely want to see Nigeria and Niger Delta community centre established, to strengthen ethnic cohesion in Coventry and West Midlands.

In light of this, Zarah MP expects a thousand reactions from the Nigerian public and signatories to pass the bill in British Parliament and get it done through West Midlands combined authorities.

James also said there was a great positive gesture from Zarah MP that the community centre would be established.

A suspected fake Medical Doctor, Saidu Ahmed Ya’u has been arraigned before the Chief Magistrate court on charges of certificate forgery and impersonation.

Before being nabbed following an investigation Governor Nasir El-Rufai ordered, Saidu Ahmed Ya’u worked as a medical doctor for more than 11 years as a staff of Kaduna State Ministry of Health.

In a statement signed by the Attorney General of Kaduna State Aisha Dikko, it was gathered that a four-member committee was set up by the Ministry of Health to investigate and verify the certificates and institutions Saidu claimed to have attended as well as verify his registration with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria(MDCN). The certificates he presented were found to be fake after an investigation was carried out.

The statement read in parts;

‘’Information gathered from Ahmadu Bello University(ABU) Zaria and MDCN also reveals that Saidu was neither admitted nor graduated from the university and was not registered with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.”

Upon being arraigned in court, Saidu insisted that all the charges against him are false. The bail application filed by the suspect was opposed by the Director of Public Prosecution who stated that the allegations against him are weighty.

The DPP added that the exceptional circumstances for admitting such offenders to bail have not been complied with, in line with Section 174 of Kaduna State Administration of Justice Law 2017.

The case was adjourned to March 16 after the Director of Public Prosecution requested for a date to enable him to conclude investigations.
