Enugu Police Commissioner to Probe misconduct of men

Enugu State Police Command has set up a panel to probe the misconduct of three officers. Commissioner of Police Ahmed Abdurrahman, who addressed reporters on Monday, said the officers beat up a civilian, Justice Obasi, on January 4, in Kenyatta Uwani. The culprits officers (NCO) and a constable. Abdurrahman said the panel has three days to conclude work and report to the command. He said: “After the panel’s work, we will look into its findings and recommendations. The officers will …face orderly room trial and… punishment.” The commissioner said Inspector-General of Police (IG) Mohammed Adamu ordered a full investigation. On the purported obstruction of worship at Assemblies of God on Agbani Road, Abdurrahman described the report as ‘untrue’. He said the police responded to a call from church members that two factions were causing nuisance. “When the police got there, efforts to make the worshippers co-worship, while we set a date to address their grievances, were unsuccessful. When the policemen realised that the violence and disagreement was getting out of hand, they locked the church premises to prevent bloodshed, arson and destruction of property,” he added. Abdurrahman on Monday decorated seven officers, who were promoted by the Police Service Commission (PSC). He urged them to redouble their efforts in fighting crime. The commissioner said the command was blessed to have seven superintendents of Police (SPs) elevated to chief superintendents of Police (CSPs). He said the command was grateful to the IG and the PSC for recognising the officers. Among the decorated officers is ‘the command’s spokesperson Ebere Amaraizu’. He said: “The command is blessed to have seven new CSPs today, who have gone through proper decoration to their new ranks. These officers have shown commitment and dedication to the job and the command’s mandate to fighting crime. “Promotion does not come from man but from God, and I hope you will redouble your efforts to appreciate what God has done for you.” Amaraizu, who spoke for others, said: “On behalf of my promoted colleagues, I promise that we will live up to the confidence reposed in us and be more committed.”

The US President made a grave mistake — Iranian President

The president of Iran on Saturday vowed vengeance a day after his top general, Qassem Soleimani, was killed in a US airstrike in Iraq.

President Hassan Rouhani said that the US made a "grave mistake" and "will face consequences of this criminal act not only today, but also in the coming years," 

Rouhani visited with Soleimani's family in Tehran on Saturday, and was asked by the assassinated general's daughter "Who will take revenge for my father?"

Soleimani was the commander of the Quds Force, an elite branch of the Iranian military that works with militias in other territories like Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq to push a pro-Iran agenda. One of these Iran-backed militias had been blamed for a December 27 rocket attack on an Iraqi military base that resulted in the death of a US contractor and multiple US servicemen.

Soleimani was killed in an airstrike while leaving the Baghdad airport on Friday. Trump said he ordered the airstrike to prevent "imminent and sinister attacks."

However, the move has been met with controversy at home and abroad, with many expressing concerns about whether it was even lawful and fears about how Iran will respond.

2023: Iwuanyanwu –Northern agenda will create instability

Senior statesman, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has cautioned that the Northern plan to keep on possessing the administration by 2023 after President Muhammadu Buhari probably finished his eight years will make shakiness in the nation. In this meeting with Saturday Vanguard in Owerri, Chief Iwuanyanwu talked on rebuilding, outskirt conclusion, regular cash just as the supposed oppression of Christians in the nation among different issues. Portions: There is by all accounts a plot for the Northern area to deliver the Presidency in 2023 after the residency of President Muhammadu Buhari. What is your interpretation of this? Peruse ALSO:NECA advocates collaboration between financial, money related arrangements in 2020(Opens in another program tab) My inclination is that they know reality. I realize that they know the right thing. They realize that the administration has remained eight years in the north and by the common understanding and by the accord as concurred by legislators it will presently go toward the South. What’s more, in the South, we have the South West; we have South and South East. The South West has delivered, South has created and it is just the South East that has not delivered. So by each law of equity and value it ought to be that of the South East. Any Nigerian who is a genuine Christian; any Nigerian who is a genuine Moslem will realize that a decent relationship can possibly endure when it depends on equity, genuineness and reasonableness. I don’t figure any obvious Christian or any evident Moslem can say that the administration ought to stay in the North since it ought to be in the South. You can’t fabricate a political decision on misrepresentation. I comprehend the explanation Jonathan, an occupant lost, was on the grounds that he had a concurrence with the North to let him serve the buildup of the residency generally Musa Yar’Adua. However, that was not known to us in the gathering. Furthermore, you could see that when he lost no one went to court. Indeed, even those of us who are pioneers of the gathering didn’t go to court since we felt on the off chance that we had known there was such an understanding we couldn’t have enabled him to challenge by any means. Reality with regards to it is that the legitimate government officials, the real legislators in this nation, the individuals who need to save the solidarity of this nation won’t state that the administration ought to be in the North. It ought to be in the South. All in all, what is anticipated from the South East district to do in quest for this undertaking? The issue presently is that the South East should converse with the South, South West, and the Northern locale and win on them to permit us have the administration in 2023. Furthermore, I need to repeat the significance of this voyage. Zoning is an extremely key component in the solidarity of this nation and the explanation is this; before first January 1914, we had Northern and Southern Nigeria yet on the first of January, Lord Luggard amalgamated these two locales. Clearly, there are social, strict and ethnic contrasts, there are numerous distinctions. Under ordinary condition individuals should meet up and concur on how they would acknowledge the organization yet it was not done. Presently, it has made an issue; in resulting years one section is bigger and can multiply more by wedding numerous spouses while the other part by their religion and culture can’t wed such a large number of wives and can’t get numerous kids. I accept that the populace in the North is greater than that of the South provided that individuals can have four spouses and get an excessive number of youngsters for what reason will their populace not be a lot. In the event that there was an exchange at the finish of the amalgamation in 1914, individuals in the South could have arranged a recipe that will cause them to have a state in the illicit relationships of this nation and not to enable just a single part to command. The risk in any alliance where one section is commanding is that even that one section that is ruling can’t be agreeable. It is much the same as in a circumstance where just one man is rich and some other individual is poor, you can’t be agreeable. Reality with regards to everything in life is decency, value; when in doubt refrain from interfering. May there be decency. So what truly occurred starting at that point? I think when our establishing fathers went for the 1953 protected gathering they concurred that they ought to have a genuine government structure where every one of the unifying units would have self-sufficiency. The People have their ethnic contrasts, this was acknowledged by everyone. The North, East and West acknowledged it in light of the fact that there were three locales at that point. Lamentably, the military mediation in the nation’s political history set Nigeria in reverse in light of the fact that the administration that took off in 1960 was most likely the best Nigeria at any point had. In the event that that administration was permitted to remain, Nigeria could have been exceptional than India today since India and Nigeria got their freedom around a similar time and you see where they are today. That administration was toppled by a military upset which the greater part of us viewed as generally reckless and you know obviously the result; the emergencies, the massacre, the common war and a wide range of issues that we have had. What will you at that point say of the Second republic? At the point when we entered the subsequent republic, the Nigeria chiefs met up and concluded that zoning ought to be a piece of our framework that can reinforce us and cultivate solidarity of Nigeria. Yet, once more, the military toppled that administration, which is another issue. Positions during the subsequent republic were shared as needs be and decently. It shows up we are seeing an alternate thing from what occurred in the first and second Republic. Today, we are seeing a circumstance where a few people are stating after the North has been power for a long time they should proceed for an additional eight years. I imagine that will make a circumstance for emergencies, making space for offense, making a circumstance for unsteadiness and issue in this nation and I think any obvious nationalist, the person who cherishes Nigeria, as much as I do won’t say that. I have been respected by this nation a few times; I had grant from this nation. I love Nigeria. The majority of my companions are from the North and South West. Huge numbers of my actual companions who have upheld me are not even from the South East. They are from the North and West. Reality with regards to Nigeria is that we have made some amazing progress, throughout the years to come and live in harmony and concordance, and I have seen that Nigeria is perhaps the best nation on the planet. I don’t need any age of political pioneers to come and wreck this nation for us. So what is to be the exit plan? I think it is an extremely basic thing. The zoning framework must proceed and I need individuals to understand that this issue of rebuilding isn’t only significant for ethnic amicability yet in addition for improvement, particularly, since it is getting clear that oil in the following not many years will lose its importance. I need to alert, each month we go to Abuja to share cash, more than 80% of the cash we share is from oil. In around five years time the story will be unique. Since I have perused in the papers that most industrial facilities have turned over delivering motors and machines that don’t utilize fossil oil. Thus, in the following hardly any years, it will be extremely troublesome. The rebuilding must beginning at this point. It is in light of a legitimate concern for the combining units with the goal that we would now be able to look inwards as opposed to looking towards the designation. There is no state in the thirty six states and Abuja that lacks agrarian possibilities that whenever bridled can continue them monetarily. Truth be told numerous nations of the world base their economy on non-oil like agribusiness. I feel that rebuilding is probably the best thing that can happen to this nation yet lamentably, a few people have been wading into controversy with it, contending that it is tied in with denying anyone anything. No, rebuilding will make the state to be progressively created and make work in the states. It will prevent everyone from racing to Abuja, individuals will presently remain in their states and create them and the reason for which states were made will be figured it out. There is this observation that Christians are being oppressed in this nation. Do you think this is valid? Let me let you know unmistakably, there is no mistreatment of Christians in Nigeria yet disconnected instance of aficionados. A significant number of my Moslem companions have come to remain with me. In all actuality we can’t take a gander at the characters of a couple of lawbreakers, awful individuals and sum up. The issue we have is with these jihadists and these jihadists are not Nigerians. They resemble an order of Islamic religion who are originating from outside and invading the residents of this nation. The genuine Moslems in Nigeria are not part of Boko Haram, and what stresses me is that we are enabling them to come in and bring their provisions. They are battling and executing our kin with arms. How would they get these arms and ammo through our fringes? For what reason do we enable them to acquire these complex arms through our fringes. Customarily, Nigerians need to live in harmony. I am scrutinizing that the legislature ought to know that there is another rush of Moslem uprising, a jihadists bunch that most likely needs to change over the nation. I speculate that the arrangement of these jihadists,is to grow their domain. I have involvement with military activities; they don’t mean to assume control over the entire nation at once. So what are their arrangements? They will likely get the North West and North East, they need to get those regions and consider it to be a take off platform before they combine. I have done my examination and their arrangement isn’t to invaded Nigeria, since they realize that they can’t overwhelm Nigeria. They need to get the North East and North West as their own Islamic states and they will at that point assault the center belt. I have known about such huge numbers of proclamations from this administration and I said that this war can’t be won by bombarding of individuals. Nigeria ought to recognize which nation these individuals are originating from and proclaim those nations as unfriendly regions. Potentially, we can dispatch assault on these individuals from their base as opposed to focusing the assaults on these individuals in simply this spot. In the event that we need to assault we ought to go
