20 Paraded In Niger Over DCO’s Killing

Niger State Police Command has paraded 20 suspects in connection with the killing of the Divisional Crime Officer, Kpakungu Police Division, DSP Aaron Sunday who was hacked down by rampaging hoodlums last Friday at Barikin Saleh area of Minna.

The remains of the 47-year-old were released by the police authorities for burial at Kagoro in Kaura Local Government of Kaduna state on Thursday.

Sunday met his death when he led his men to arrest youths who were unleashing terror on innocent people at a wedding ceremony.

The father of six was murdered few weeks after his promotion to DSP in charge of crime in Kpakungu Divison in Minna.

Parading the suspects before journalists at the Command headquarters, the Command’s spokesman, Bala Elkana, said the 20 suspects were behind the killing of the DCO.

Elkana disclosed that the suspects were picked up from different areas of Minna, adding that they were found with dangerous weapons which they used in attacking innocent residents.

“Some of them were invited by their friends to that particular ceremony just to disrupt the occasion,” he alleged.

He stated further that on the receipt of the distress call, the command deployed a team led by Sunday to the scene.

Elkana said, “We dispatched a team of policemen led by the late DSP Aaron Sunday to the scene with a view to maintaining peace there, but unfortunately, the hoodlums attacked the team and injured some members of the team while the officer lost his life as a result of the attack.”

“So, we moved in diligently and got them arrested, but we are still looking for about three or two fleeing members of the gang because they were in large number.”

He said those arrested were helping the police in their investigation, adding that some of them had stated the roles they played in the killing of the officer.

“They have explained the roles they played in the crime and at the completion of our investigation, we will arraign them in court,” he added.

LASTMA Officials, Lagos Residents Goes Against Eachother due to Illegal Parking

There was chaos on Assbifi Road, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos State, after no fewer than 17 officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority engaged some residents and workers of an Information Technology company in a free-for-all.

A Youtube video which was viewed by Punch Metro showed that some LASTMA officials had attempted to tow away a car parked by the roadside for violating the state traffic law.

The car owner, later identified as Opeyemi Oni, was stopped from entering the car by a group of LASTMA officials, who insisted that it must be towed away.

After a few minutes, a tow truck was brought to the street, as the motorist protested and engaged the officials in an argument.

A colleague of the motorist, who approached another group of LASTMA officials, was attacked.

Oni was also manhandled by the officials, and he retaliated by hitting one of them on the body three times.

One of Oni’s colleagues was slapped four times by another LASTMA official after the man queried him.

The scene soon turned rowdy as the LASTMA officials overran the workers of the IT firm, beating up everyone in sight, including the security guards.

Oni told our correspondent on Thursday that he was treated in a hospital after the attack, adding that his car was towed away by the officials.

He explained that when he went to the LASTMA office, the management demanded N120,000 from him before the vehicle would be released.

He said he was charged N20,000 for wrong parking and N100,000 for assaulting a LASTMA official, adding that he was surprised at the charges because he thought he would be compensated for his injuries.

Oni said, “It was not the first time I will park my car there. The place is opposite my office and I was not blocking anything. I was in the office when it started raining and because I wanted to perform a transaction, I decided to pick my ATM card from the car.

“As I got downstairs, I saw a LASTMA official around my car. I was prevented from accessing the car. When I asked him what was wrong, he punched me.

“My colleagues came around to calm the situation, but they were attacked as well. A policeman later joined them and started hitting me.”

He said after his car was towed away, he reported at the Alausa Police Station, adding that police investigations revealed that the officials came from the Oshodi office of the agency.

The Divisional Police Officer was reported to have written to the management of LASTMA, directing that the officials be released to aid investigations.

A software developer, Nduka Ohadoma, who was slapped in the video, said five other workers were beaten.

“The first time he slapped me, my glasses fell off. When I asked him what I did wrong, he just continued the assault. Apart from me, five others were assaulted,” he added.

A female witness called on the government to investigate the incident and bring the officials to book, adding that the attack showed the highhandedness of LASTMA officials.

When contacted, the Public Affairs Officer of LASTMA, Mr. Mahmud Hassan, said the video was an abridged version of what truly transpired during the fracas, adding that LASTMA officials were chased away from conducting their lawful duties with knives and stones.

He said, “Motorists in that area are known for violation of the traffic law. We have sent our men there many times to educate them, but they refused to listen. We cannot allow indiscriminate parking of vehicles on the road.

“To avoid problems along that road, we provided two parking spaces for private cars. Also down the road, we created a space for another car park with road signs to lead them there. However, they continued to park on the two sides of the road, thereby causing traffic jam every time.

“On the day of the incident, other motorists had called us to restore sanity on that road. When we got there, we asked them to move their vehicles. While some voluntarily complied, others protested.

“While our men were removing the vehicles, they launched an attack against them. They tore their uniforms and assaulted them, using broken bottles and knives.

“Whoever uploaded that video on Youtube did not present the whole truth. We will continue to educate our men to approach scenes of action with civility and respect for motorists.”

The Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the incident, saying investigations were ongoing.

We May Need to Amend Laws to Solve Energy Crisis -Saraki

The Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has said the National Assembly will have to amend the laws on power generation, transmission and distribution in other to replicate the feat recorded by the German Village, Feldheim, where residents combined efforts and local resources to produce clean and renewable energy.

Saraki in a statement by his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu, made th comment after inspecting the project in the energy self-sufficient village located 70 kilometres outside Berlin and said the achievement of the Germans was possible in Nigeria if only the leadership and the operators could be serious and demonstrate the will power.

He said the issue of power supply remains top in the agenda of the Senate as it is a key instrument for eradicating poverty and unleashing the potentials of the people. "That is why we had a workshop on the sector last month. It is also why we are here to see the experiment and success of the people of Feldheim and see what our people can learn from it," he said.

"We have to amend the laws to allow communities to generate energy that is more than 10 megawatts and even the laws about power transmission and distribution have to be amended to allow more creativity and involvement from the private sector", he said.

While briefing the Senators, the Project Leader, Mr. Werner Frohwitter said the project was one in which "citizens take their energy supply into their own hands" as they contributed money to build bio-gas plants which use slurry and manure from their pigs and cows and wind farms.

He added that though the village has a population of 140 people, it hosts about 4,000 visitors yearly comprising students, politicians, researchers, scholars and journalists who want to learn about how the people's efforts led to the generation of 10mw of electricity, from which they sell the excess to the national power grid.

Frohwitter said Feldheim is now a community which produces "safe, local, economic and ecological supply of heat and electricity organised by and under the responsibility of the citizens independent from the grids of conventional power utility companies".

The Senate delegation, on return to Berlin on Wednesday night, also had a discussion with Mr. Thomas Silberhorn, the Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Economic Co-operation and Development on how to foster economic exchange between the European giant and Nigeria.

Taliban Stone Afghan Woman To Death After Accusing Her Of Adultery

A 22-year-old woman has been stoned to death by a group of men identified as Taliban insurgents, after she was accused of adultery. Afghan official Abdul Hai Khateby, spokesman for the governor of central Ghor province, said the woman, identified only as Rokhshana, was thrown into a hole in the ground and stoned to death.

Khateby said Rokhshana had been accused of running away from home and committing adultery. A 30-second video appearing to show the punishment has been published online, showing a woman believed to be Rokhshana in a hole in the ground surrounded by turbaned men hurling stones at her.

She can be heard uttering phrases relating to the Muslim faith as the stones strike her. The 23-year-old man Rokhshana was eloping with was let off with only a lashing, Provincial Governor Seema Joyenda told Radio Free Europe.

She added Rokhshana had been married off by her family against her will.

“This is the first incident in the area [this year] but it will not be the last,” she said.

Rokhshana was killed on 24 October in a village about 45 kilometers (28 miles) north of Firozkoh, capital of Ghor.

The area is controlled by Taliban insurgents “who implement their own barbaric laws,” Khateby told the Associated Press.

Stoning is illegal under the Afghan constitution, though incidents are unusual but not unheard of in Afghanistan, where women are the main victims.

"And if I like them, I like them, and if I don't, I don't. It's about the person, you know what I mean? It's about who they are. It has nothing to do with age!

"There's this thing, because I dated Beau [her backing dancer Casper Smart], and he was younger, and he was the first guy I ever dated who was younger than me, but then I got labelled right away.

"For me, it isn't [about age]. If they're older, they're older. If they're younger, they're younger. It depends on whether or not I'm attracted to their spirit, their soul, their whatever... their energy."
