| Police probe alleged rape of sex workers Posted: 04 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT
The FCT police Command has set up a team to probe allegations of rape against some of its personnel. The alleged rape was said to have occurred on 27th April when some suspected commercial sex workers were raided at Caramelo night club by the FCTA Joint Task Team. The team that went on the raid comprises the Department of Development Control, Abuja Environment Protection Board (AEPB) and the Social Development Secretariat. Some of the commercial sex workers alleged that they were harassed, molested and assaulted by some police personnel. They alleged that policemen attached to Utako, Life Camp and Gwarimpa police stations raped and physically assaulted them in custody. Following the allegation, the Command's Deputy Spokesman, ASP Gajere Tanimu in a statement in Abuja on Friday, said the Command has sent out invitation to some individuals that may assist in the investigation. While assuring members of the public of the Command's zero tolerance for misconduct, Taminu stated stiff punishment will be meted out to officers found guilty. The statement reads: "The Attention of FCT Police Command has been drawn to serious allegations of rape against some of its members on social, print and electronic media. This was said to have occurred on 27th April, 2019 when some suspected commercial sex workers were raided by the FCTA Joint Task Team comprising of the Department of Development Control, Abuja Environment Protection Board (AEPB), and the Social Development Secretariat at Caramelo night club, Utako, and also while they were kept at Utako Division. "The Command as a responsible corporate citizen, views the allegations seriously. "Consequently, a high powered team was constituted to investigate the veracity of the allegation. "In this regard invitations were sent out to relevant individuals that may assist in getting to the root of the matter. "The Command wishes to assure members of the public of its zero tolerance for unprofessional disregard to human rights and stiff punishments will be meted out to erring officers."

| When will peace return to Rivers APC? Posted: 04 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT  Supporters of the Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC), Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Magnus Abe have resumed their hostilities. Amaechi's associate, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze has alleged plans by Abe to eliminate him. The senator said the allegation was a figment of imagination. But, Eze is adamant, saying that Abe is a supporter of the governor. Governor Nyesom Wike, on collecting his certificate of return after the controversial elections that returned him to power, offered an olive branch to his many political traducers. In a statewide broadcast, following the announcement of the governorship election result, Wike said: "I therefore appeal to the APC and the Minister of Transportation to join hands with us to move our dear State forward. We cannot as leaders continue to remain divided and expect Government to deliver on its responsibilities to our people. "Let us from henceforth seek the common ground instead of allowing our differences to be exploited to retard our march to progress. I appeal to our people to eschew all acts of acrimony, criminality, unrest, and violence throughout the state." The minister of transportation and leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi was to reiterate that point in his Easter message when he called on those who lost during the recent elections not to give up hope. He said: "I appeal to all who truly love our dear Rivers State to join hands in building the state, irrespective of their party affiliations. "No amount of provocation or even threats should challenge the Rivers spirit of oneness, unity and harmony in you. "To the youths, I urge you not to see crime as an escape route from the difficult times we are going through in Rivers State today. I am confident that with resilience and prayer, you can always pull through." However, amid the reconciliation Eze, punctured the serenity with his petition of an alleged assassination against him. Eze, who is Amaechi's alter ego, blamed Abe, who he said was working in cahoots with Wike against Amaechi. Eze alleged a collaboration between Abe and Wike, saying both of them worked to frustrate Amaechi and the APC in its bid to field candidates in the recent general elections. Abe was at the head of the dissenting group within the Rivers State APC that stopped the mainstream from presenting candidates. It was a development that was heartily welcomed by Wike and the PDP. Eze said: "Senator Magnus Abe has been angry that I exposed how he teamed up with elements within and outside Rivers State to ensure that APC in Rivers state did not field a candidate in the just concluded general elections and how he has ceaselessly castigated and impugned the personality of Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, the immediate past Governor of Rivers state and the incumbent Minster of Transportation. Claiming that Abe has a grouse with Eze on account of his close affinity with Amaechi and President Muhammadu Buhari, he said: "This is the same man who happened to be his benefactor and mentor. I have been severally threatened by the Senator and his boys over my defense of the Minster and my exposing their plots against him by teaming up with PDP elements within and outside Rivers State to promote the candidates of PDP in the last elections including even the presidential ambition of Atiku Abubakar all because of a desperate hope of making Atiku's ministerial cabinet."

| Obiano bags senior civil servant’ excellence in governance award Posted: 04 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT
State chairman of the Association, Comrade Ifeanyi Okechukwu, said the award was presented to the governor for his uncommon transformation of the State. Okechukwu who noted that the award was part of the 2019 worker's day celebration, said Obiano deserved the numerous accolades being showered on him. He said, "Organized labour in and outside the state have variously appreciated the Governor for prompt payment of workers' salaries and pensions in a country where other states are owing months and years of backlog of salaries. "His firm promise to be the first to pay the new National minimum wage of 30,000 naira is also worth commending." Okechukwu who doubles as the state chairman, Trade Union Congress (TUC), recalled that the State had also been rated highly by the World Bank as the best performing state in the South East and South South in the implementation of World Bank projects. He noted that the security, education, agriculture and other sectors continue to do very well in the state and stressing that on many indices, Anambra State stands tall among equals. "Some of the achievements so far recorded by the association under governor Obiano administration include, payment of the three years arrears of salaries owed water corporation staff and the payment of 1.8billion Local government pension arrears. Receiving the award, governor Willie Obiano, thanked the association for the award, assuring his commitment to doing more including his promise to pay the new minimum wage.

| Trainee aircraft crash lands, delays Ahmed flight Posted: 04 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT
The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, affected Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed's flight. The governor, who was said to be returning from his Abuja trip, and his wife were said to have been delayed as a result of the incident for about three hours before arriving at the airport. His convoy stationed at the airport around 2:22pm waiting for his arrival from Abuja airport, had to wait until the airspace was reopened and the governor's chartered aircraft landed at the airport at exactly 5:35pm. The Diamond plane No.5N BNH with two pilots onboard crashed landed at exactly 11:05am without any casualty. It was, however, gathered that the staff of the IAC, including the rector and some of the airport workers, had evacuated the aircraft from the runway in order to reopen the airspace for flight operations. It was gathered at the airport that the aircraft might have experienced gear problem, adding that the back tyres refused to pullout when the pilot was trying to land on the runway. When contacted, the Airspace Manager of Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) at the airport, Engineer Balogun Abiodun, said that he was not authorised to talk on the incident as a civil servant. Also, the Rector of the Aviation college Benedict Adeyileke, an engineer, declined comment when contacted. It was also gathered that the aircraft was towed to the Aviation College before the airspace was reopened around 4:00pm for flight operations.

| NDLEA arrests Saudi-bound septuagenarian, other for alleged drug trafficking Posted: 04 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT  Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) have arrested 72-year-old Mohammed Hamza and Kamisu Mohammed, 25, for attempting to ferry illicit drugs from Kano to Saudi Arabia. According to the MAKIA NDLEA Commander, Mr. Ambrose Umoru, Hamza, who hails from Gwaranduma village, Daura in Katsina state was arrested on April 24 at the screening point, while trying to board an aircraft to Saudi Arabia. He said further investigations, which led to the arrest of Kamisu Mohammed, revealed that the 72-year- old, a stark illiterate was not aware that drugs were planted inside his luggage. "In fact, the drug peddlers told the old man that they were sponsoring him to perform lesser hajj in the Holy Land. "They brought him to Kano from Katsina and lodged him in a hotel for three days during which they planted tramadol inside his luggage, unknown to him. "When our officers discovered the illicit drugs from his bag, upon interrogation, he told us where he was coming from. "Immediately, we deployed our officers inside the town and Kamisu Mohammed was apprehended." He added: "The interesting twist on this very case is that the same Kamisu Mohammed was arrested last year for planting drugs inside the luggage of two women, though the women were his partners in crime, unlike the 72-year old man who didn't know why they were sending him to Saudi Arabia. "This very Kamisu is on bail over that very case of last year. To show that he is serial criminal, this time when he was arrested, he tried to change his name because the name he gave us last year was Kamisu Safiyanu and this time he told us that his name is Kamisu Mohammed. He is still in our custody and will soon be re-arraigned in court." In This Story:#NDLEA #AmbroseUmoru #MalamAminuKano #MAKIANDLEA Sharing Is Caring. Share This Story  | ||
| Anglican Church bombs Obiano for insulting Ohaneze boss Posted: 04 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT
The church also demanded an apology from the governor over what it termed open support for President Muhammadu Buhari's reelection during the electioneering campaign. These were contained in the Bishops Charge presented by Rt. Rev. Samuel Ezeofor at the 2nd Session of the Fifth Synod of Diocese of Aguata holding at St James Anglican Church Uga Aguata Local Government Area of the State. The cleric described the act as betrayal of the Igbos which, according to him, inflicted a deep wound on the people of the region. "The insult Chief Willie Obiano laid on President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo was a betrayal of the highest order, a betrayal of the whole Igbo people, a betrayal of his own people. "It was an insult on the whole of Igbo race and we call on him, His Excellency Chief Willie Obiano to apologize to Ndigbo. "We do not know how Governor Obiano can explain the stance he took but may it please him to know that he wounded us so deep in his bid to stop his benefactor Sir Peter Obi. "We also need to let the Governor know that we are not unaware of his moves against the Anglican faithful in Anambra State." Chancellor of the Diocese, Justice Pete Obiora commended the Bishop for his analysis of the society and courage to say things the way they were.

| Over 600 teachers killed in North east-NUT Posted: 04 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT  The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) has condemned the incessant killings and abduction of school officials by armed bandits in Zamfara state and other parts of the country. Dr Mike Ike-Ene, the Secretary-General of the NUT made the condemnation in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Friday, describing it as `alarming and worrisome'. According to Ike-Ene, the Union is deeply concerned over the rising insecurity in some parts of the North, urging the Federal Government to fashion out an agenda to help check the trend for peaceful coexistence. He said that community policing using vigilance group was not enough to check insecurity in the country, but rather collective effort and adequate security apparatus. Ike-Ene disclosed that over 600 teachers have lost their lives in the North East through insurgency and social unrest in the area, adding that it has discouraged teachers from working or being transferred to the affected states. The secretary-general, therefore, appealed to the Federal Government to do all it could to secure the release of the abductees and ensure total security of both students and teachers across the country. "The insecurity in the country has become so rampant that people could no longer sleep with their two eyes closed," he said. Two caterers and three children during an attack on Government Girls Secondary School, Moriki, Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara were on Wednesday night abducted by unknown bandits.

| Over 20,000 benefit from TraderMoni in Anambra – Osinbajo Posted: 04 May 2019 12:00 AM PDT
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Friday said over 20,000 traders have so far benefited from the TraderMoni and MarketMoni scheme in Anambra state. Osinbajo spoke at the palace of the Traditional Ruler of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, during his visit to the state to promote the TraderMoni and MarketMoni at Eke-Awka Market in Awka and Ochanja Market in Onitsha. He noted that the scheme had practically gone around the country, with some receiving the MarketMoni. He explained that it was a Federal Government project where microcredits were provided to the lowest in the rank of the trading value chain. According to him: "Many of them are not given such facility or loan because nobody is sure that they will pay back or not. "Only the Government can guarantee that kind of facility and it is the Bank of Industry (BOI) that actually administers the loan." The Vice President also expressed satisfaction with the implementation of the Federal Government's Home-Grown-School-Feeding programme in the state. "As a matter of fact, we visited a lady in Awka, one of the cooks, who happened to be best cook of the programme in the community," he added. He commended Achebe for his leadership style not just as the Chairman of the South-East Traditional Rulers Council but also an individual, whose statements were conciliatory rather than divisive. He reaffirmed Federal Government commitment to ensure that the country remain united and that all citizens, regardless of ethnicity, religion or political affiliation regard themselves as one. While inspecting the Second Niger Bridge, he reassured on Federal Government commitment to completing the project and the access roads. He said the government insisted on completing the project in view of its economic benefit to the zone and the entire country. Osinbajo explained: "The Second Niger Bridge is among the five projects where money has actually been set aside under a Presidential funding initiative to ensure completion. "So, we have no fears that it will be completed as promised and scheduled. "We are all brothers regardless of religion, ethnicity or political affiliation. "We want to make sure that even in terms of execution of projects, we are fair and just, which is the commitment that the president has made. "The President is committed to ensuring that he brings this to fulfillment." Gov. Willie Obiano, lauded the Federal Government's TraderMoni and MarketMoni initiatives, saying they would encourage the culture of repayment of loans and ensure prosperity of traders. He further commended the Federal Government's zeal towards the ongoing Second Niger Bridge and the completed Zik Mausoleum. The Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Achebe, stressed the need for the federal government to set up a Board of Trustees to manage the affairs of Zik Mausoleum. The monarch said the Federal Government's TraderMoni and MarketMoni initiatives should also be extended to local markets in Onitsha, noting that they contribute to the economy. "Ochanja Market has become a kind of international market of sort, but then we have our own local market women, who also need to benefit from these initiatives," he said. The VP was accompanied on the visit by the state Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, Sen. Andy Uba (APC-Anambra South) and Chief George Muoghalu, the National Auditor of APC, among others.

The Ghanaian artiste gives the advice to female artistes in Ghana asking that they perform in the same manner as Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez who mostly mount the stage half naked, showing off their cleavages and wearing skimpy outfits.

She also believes the music industry will be better if artistes are supported and not being insulted due to their indecent dressing. She said: "Mzbel was also very enlightened and ahead of our time. I watched her outfits when I was growing up and it was nice because I watched Beyonce and the likes of Jennifer Lopez do it, but people penalise us so much," Eazzy addressed journalists who criticize artiste's dresses yet enjoy their music describing them as hypocrites. Eazzy wants artistes to know the dressing is a part of the business.  | ||

Some of the alleged prostitutes convicted by a mobile court in Abuja, for alleged prostitution, have spoken out about how they were raped by some of the policemen who arrested them — some without condoms and some wearing improvised "pure water sachets" as protection.Sixty-five women were arrested in several parts of the city between Wednesday and Friday last week, with Gajere Danjuma Tanimu, spokesman of the Police in Abuja, saying the ladies "were hanging around night clubs".Majority of the arrests were made in Aminu Kano Crescent, Gwarimpa, and Katampe extension by members of a Joint Task Force.However, speaking at a media briefing by activist Dorothy Njemanze, the girls accused the policemen of sexual molestation. The ladies said many of the alleged rapists were policemen attached to Utako, Life Camp and Gwarimpa police stations."They picked us from Banex; when they picked us from Banex, they took us to Utako," one of the girls said."But the police station was empty; there was no policeman inside, so they told us to pull off. When we pulled off, they started… some of us they used condoms, some of us they didn't use." Another lady said she was raped by policemen when she could not pay the money they demanded in exchange for her release. "I was held down by three policemen while one of them raped me; he didn't wear a condom. We were three in all that were raped by the same policemen," she said. "The three of us were all brought out of the van and raped by the policemen because we had no money to give them. We were raped behind the National War College. The other girls were also raped by two others; one of them used a pure water sachet as condom but the other one did not." Meanwhile, both the Police and the Social Development Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Development Association (FCTDA) have acknowledged the allegations against the policemen. "The Social Development Secretariat and the FCTA is a responsible administration that looks into the welfare of the residents of the FCT," said Sunday Shaka, Public Relations Officer of the SDS. "That somebody is compromising the law does not give advantage to an enforcement agent to begin to abuse them. This accusation is already being investigated. Our team is well trained and they have been warned against such an act. They are all aware that if any of them is been caught to have abused these persons, such a person will be dismissed and persecuted." Similarly, Tanimu, the Police spokesman, said the allegations had been brought to the notice of the Commissioner of Police, and they were being investigated.

| South African Reserve Bank currency mobile app receives global recognition Posted: 03 May 2019 07:03 AM PDT
Developed and launched alongside the introduction of the commemorative Madiba banknotes series in 2018, the mobile app was developed to drive awareness and education on the various features of the South African banknotes, demonstrating the design, security, technical and quality elements using augmented reality technology. The app was created for SARB by local animation, gaming, and augmented reality studio Sea Monster, which worked with SARB to develop the app over a three-month period following a rigorous tender and evaluation process. Says Sea Monster CEO Glenn Gillis: "We're thrilled that SARB elected to go with a local gaming and animation studio, not assuming that only international companies can deliver at this level. SARB used its procurement rules and budget to foster local innovation and creativity. So often we see local corporates and government using procurement processes as an excuse not to innovate and this wasn't the case here at all.

| Fortinet continues efforts to close the Cyber Skills gap Posted: 03 May 2019 06:59 AM PDT
Recent additions to the company's education and training programming include additional Fortinet Network Security Expert (NSE) Institute cloud certifications and the offering of its cybersecurity awareness training –at no cost – for individuals or organisations seeking to deploy a cybersecurity awareness training programme. "This unprecedented shortage in the cybersecurity workforce has resulted in security operations teams who are overworked and understaffed and it continues to benefit our cyber adversaries. Fortinet is more than a technology company; we're also a learning organisation. Fortinet is dedicated to closing the cyber skills gap and goes well beyond providing training on products and solutions as part of our commitment to deliver a response to the growing global cybersecurity threat," says Ken Xie, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and CEO at Fortinet. The cyber skills gap A 2019 Gartner survey shows the global talent shortage is now the top emerging risk facing organisations. The expansion of the digital marketplace has generated more jobs than the current supply of security professionals can meet. A problem of scale; there is currently not an efficient way to create skilled security practitioners at the same rate. Unfortunately, there are not enough skilled humans available to properly plan, manage, integrate, and optimize security devices, strategies, and protocols. For example, according to a recent workforce development survey, 59% of organisations have unfilled cybersecurity positions, with Frost & Sullivan forecasting a shortfall of 1.5 million by 2020. Fortinet continues the commitment to bridge the cyber skills gap In today's global cybersecurity threat landscape, education is crucial to the success of organisations. Creating and executing a strategy with a wide scope can be a daunting task, but this is precisely the mandate and strategy of the Fortinet NSE Institute. The Fortinet NSE Institute was created to provide broad-based training that arms participants with a foundational understanding of the threat landscape, as well as the cybersecurity fundamentals and skills to implement strategies and technical concepts that are in high demand. While the Institute's flagship NSE Training and Certification programme has issued nearly 200,000 certifications, it is equally focused on education programmes such as the Fortinet Network Security Academy programme for high schools, colleges and universities, the FortiVets programme that facilitates the transition of exceptional military veterans into the cybersecurity industry by providing professional networking, training, and mentoring, as well as free publicly available awareness training that can be accessed by any company wishing to deploy an internal cybersecurity awareness programme for employees. Cybersecurity training & education milestones: There are now over 140 academies in more than 50 different countries. Fortinet has provided nearly 200,000 NSE certifications, building a skilled workforce that will be recognized in the industry as an elite group of security professionals. The company recently made public cybersecurity awareness training NSE 1 and 2, whereby these free offerings are now available to the public at large. For example, any Security Operations (SecOps) team seeking to deploy a cybersecurity awareness training programme now has an easy and no-cost way to get started. Fortinet introduced the NSE 7 Cloud certification, consisting of two training courses, "Public Cloud Security" and "Private Cloud Security," and are both being offered as part of the training schedule at this year's Fortinet Accelerate conference, held in Orlando from April 8 – 11, 2019. During the past year, the number of NSE8 certifications awarded has doubled, a certification designation that identifies a candidate's comprehensive knowledge of network security design, configuration, and troubleshooting for complex networks. The Fortinet Fast Track Programme, launched at the company's 2018 Accelerate conference, now has over 8,000 participating partners. There has been an average of 300 – 600 student sessions around the world per week, based on recent company data. Addressing the skills gap at scale In addition to the established company-led training and education programmes, a comprehensive training and education strategy must include strategic partnerships within government, academia and NGOs, such as Fortinet's strategic relationships with organization such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its Centre for Cybersecurity, the Global Threat Alliance, CompTIA, and various university research programmes. Fortinet will continue its efforts to broadly and globally collaborate, innovate and develop powerful global solutions to reduce global cyber attacks, contain current and future cyber attacks, and deter cybercrime.

| South West support for Buhari, wise, progressive – Group Posted: 03 May 2019 06:51 AM PDT
The group described the resolve of the South West to work with other zones to actualize the second term in office for Buhari and Osinbajo, as wise and progressive. In a statement by its President, Mr Samuel Jegede, the group said when it is time for South West to provide national leadership for the country the zone will count on other zones for support and return the goodwill it has established over the years. According to him, the six states, Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun Ondo and Ekiti that make up the South West have the resources to lead Nigeria. However, he cautioned Ogun State out of the six states in the South West to step aside when it is time for the zone to produce the nation's leader because "it has benefited more than the rest in the past and therefore, as a matter of equity and equality only Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and the Ekiti States must have a shot at the presidency." Congratulating Buhari for returning to power in the second term, Jegede advised that he must not allow himself to be distracted from focusing on the myriads of challenges facing Nigeria, including insecurity, economy, energy among others and must proffer solutions to them without further delay. He commended the All Progressives Congress for providing exemplary government and good governance in Osun, Ekiti and Lagos States.

This is coming as the CJ also admonishes the members of a newly inaugurated committee of the ACJ Law 2016, in the state to rise up to the challenges of reinforcing confidence in the Justice system particularly criminal justice and its trial process. The event which held at the Conference room of the Oyo State High Court had in attendance top judicial officers in the state, representatives of security agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations, representative of Nigerian Bar Association among others. Abimbola reiterated that the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, as domesticated in the state, has been acclaimed as a revolutionary piece of legislation seeking to address the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the Criminal Justice in the country. Recall that the State House of Assembly passed its own law on the domestication of the ACJ law in 2016. Noting that, although the implementation committee was long overdue for the inauguration, logistics issues hindered the implementation, expressing joy that the committee was eventually inaugurated. Citing various provisions of the Act, the Chief Judge emphasized that the law "is a paradigm shift in the criminal justice system of Nigeria from a punitive approach to a restorative approach towards the needs of the society, victims and human dignity. "Specifically in subsection (2), the provision has bestowed on this committee enormous challenges and taking responsibilities of ensuring that all stakeholders in the Administration of Criminal Justice Sector apply the provisions of Administration of Criminal Justice Law to the letter with the aim of promoting: "Effective management of the Criminal Justice Institutions (System); speedy and expeditious determination of Criminal cases; decongestion of prisons and ensuring synergy and cooperation amongst all the sectors in the administration of criminal justice in the state." He also charged the committee to be humane and merciful in their approaches and discharge of the duties. To ensure the effectiveness of the committee, the Chief Judge at the event put in place five subcommittees with practice directions. The committees and the chairman are: Decongestion of Prison Committee (Justice Abimbola as chairman), committee on Non-Custodial Sentencing (to be headed by Justice Iyabo Yerima), committee on sentencing guidelines (to be chaired by Justice B. A Taiwo), committee on registered and licensing of bonds persons (Justice M. I. Sule) and the committee on decongestion of police/other law enforcement agencies, places of detention (to be headed by Justice A. F Adeeyo). Justice Abimbola also thanked the state Governor Abiola Ajimobi for his efforts as well as "his unalloyed support and confidence in the leadership of the judiciary." He also thanked the state Attorney General, Mr Oluseun Abimbola for "his steadfastness, hard work and contributions to the success of the Justice sector in Oyo state." In her short remarks, the President, Customary Court of Appeal, Oyo state, Justice Eni Esan commended the CJ on ensuring that the ACJL implementation committee is inaugurated despite all challenges, noting that the CJ has done so much to move the judiciary forward in the state.
