Abia CP. Anthony Micheal Ogbizi

Abia State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Anthony Ogbizi has warned that anybody found with Biafra emblem will be arrested and charged to court.

Ogbizi who stated this while parading 7 suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, explained that with the proscription of the group by the South East governors, it has becomes illegal for anyone to operate under IPOB or adorn Biafra emblems.

He lamented that one of the injured officers, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP, serving at the Ariaria Police Station has died out of the injuries he sustained during the attack.

The CP, who had earlier visited the burnt Ariaria Police station in company of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, in charge of Operations, Force headquarters, Taiwo Lakanu, accused IPOB of engaging in violence and propaganda under the guise of agitation for Biafra.

“Nnamdi Kanu and his brother, engages in photo-shopping. They thrive through propaganda. They say IPOB is an armless group doing protests, but you have seen it yourself that the group is violent.

They set bonfires on the road and attack with offensive weapons. IPOB destroyed the Ariaria Police, they were armed with petrol bombs which they used to destroy Police and exhibit vehicles.

They also carted three pump action rifles and threw a petrol bomb on a patrol vehicle conveying MOPOL men. You can see the destruction of commercial vehicles.

“IPOB coordinated these attacks from Nnamdi Kanu’s house. IPOB members confronted the military at Isiala Ngwa. Look at the attack on the bank, we don’t know the motive. IPOB going to this extent cannot be said to be a non violent organization.

"Anybody that abets, finances, encourages or associates with IPOB will be arrested.”

The CP also stated that IPOB attacked the area where the AIG zone 9, Commissioner of Police, the Speaker and the Attorney General of the State resides, with petrol bombs, describing the attacks as well planned.

He, however, denied that Nnamdi Kanu’s parents are being detained by the Police in the State.

Ali Modu Sheriff

Over 14,000 Peoples Democratic members and supporters of a former national chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Ali Modu Sheriff, have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

This is even as APC announced that it would commence reconciliation visits to the state chapters of the party in the South-South geopolitical zones on Sunday, towards strengthening the party for victory in the 2019 general elections in the region.

The defecting Sheriff’s loyalists led by a former National Vice Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, said they were “suffocated out of the party through deliberate act of impunity which led to the defeat of the party in 2015.”

The over 14,000 former PDP members were received by top members of the APC led by National Vice Chairman of APC, Mr. Hilliard Eta; Delta State leader of the party, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor; Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachukwu; and the state chairman of the party, Prophet Jones Erue, among others in Agbor.

Speaking during the ceremony, PDP former National Vice Chairman (South-South), Ojougboh, said since the Supreme Court judgment which ousted the Sheriff faction, the Ahmed Markafi national leadership had refused to reach out to them, hence their resolve to leave.

Ojougboh said, “We asked the national body to open up the party after the unfortunate court judgment, the next thing we heard was that they were going to grant us amnesty, as if we are criminals.

“When Raymond Dokpesi was nominated as member of the committee for the non-elective convention, his nomination was rejected because they said they spent money on the court judgment.

“As if that was not enough, during the Anambra State governorship primary election, Jerry Gana was made chairman of a three-man committee to midwife a transparent election, but governors Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State and Nyesom Wike of Rivers State rejected it and came up with another committee that went to Anambra and handed everything to Peter Obi.

“Back here in Delta, we asked the state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, to remove impunity, but what we continue to see here is a … family government.

“We now said it is time to look for people of like minds, people of progressive ideology to meet with, because I know most of you have ambitions to pursue.

“If we do not make a decision to belong to the progressives, most of you will miss out.”

Governor Ibikunle Amosun

Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Friday said that no village would be demolished for the establishment of the new Ogun State Polytechnic at Iwuku in Ipokia Local Government area of the state.

Amosun made the promise at the foundation laying ceremony at the site of the main campus of the institution in Ipokia.

The governor said that the decision to establish the school in Iwuku, Ipokia, was not to inconvenience the indigenes of the area, but to fulfil one of his electioneering campaign promises to the people.

He pleaded with traditional rulers and village heads in the area to moderate their traditional festivals and other traditional activities for the sake of the incoming students.

He appealed to the traditionalists in Yewaland and environs to accommodate prospective students of the institution.

The governor emphasised on ‘Oro festival’ which the community is known for and appealed to adherents to limit the timing of their rites to midnights.

Amosun said that it was when development was allowed in any community that the culture and tradition of such community could also be developed.

He said: “We have our tradition and culture, but we must moderate it. We will do our ‘Oro festival’, but it is better done in the dead of the night because we want development.

“We don’t want a situation where students will resume and their movements will be restricted at times when they should be in school. It is when we have development that our culture and tradition can be developed.”

The governor said that the establishment of the institution in Ipokia would change the landscape of Ogun West, adding that well-meaning individuals in the area should contribute to its development.

He said the establishment of the polytechnic in Ipokia was part of his administration’s socio-economic blueprint to locate infrastructure across the nooks and cranes of the state.

The governor said that the institution would take off in October or November as directed by the National Board for Technical Education.

Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, Olu of Ilaro and paramount ruler of Yewaland, advised all the Obas and village heads in the area to moderate traditions and apply wisdom in order to allow for smooth running of the new institution.

Olugbenle said: “I have to say this here, the Obas and Baales in Ipokia should moderate some traditions in this area, we should apply wisdom because we need to accommodate these students and lecturers coming around.

“We are not saying we should stop our culture and tradition, but we must apply wisdom and moderate what we are doing. We have started in part of Yewaland, we must also do same here in order to allow development.’’

Olugbenle called on all sons and daughters of the area to support government’s gesture by donating structures for the quick take off of the polytechnic.

Suraj Adekunbi, the Speaker, Ogun Assembly, commended the government for locating the school in Yewaland.

Those present at the ceremony include: the Deputy Governor, Yetunde Onanuga; Chief of Staff, Odebiyi; Head of Service, Abayomi Sobande; All Progressive Congress National Financial Secretary, Alhaji Tajudeen Bello and members of the state executive council.

An Ohio fire department has suspended one of its volunteer firefighters for a racist Facebook post suggesting he’d prefer to save a dog in an emergency than a black person.

Tyler Roysdon, a volunteer for Franklin Township, wrote that if he had to choose between saving a dog or a black man from a burning building, the dog would get priority, because “one dog is more important than a million n****rs.”

Roysdon has since removed the post from his Facebook page, Huffington Post reports.

Once township officials discovered the post, Roysdon was suspended indefinitely, according to local station WHIO-TV.

The township will hold a disciplinary hearing for him on Sept. 27, the station reported.

Because he is a volunteer, Roysdon is only paid when he is called to duty. Authorities said he will not be called while the suspension is in effect.

Township officials released an official statement about Roysdon on Thursday, confirming that he was suspended until the township’s board of trustees can meet to determine his fate:

“Recently, a Franklin Township volunteer firefighter posted unacceptable remarks on social media. Upon gaining knowledge of this information, Fire Chief Steve Bishop immediately contacted the firefighter and directed the comments be removed.

“The firefighter was suspended without pay until the Board of Township Trustees could meet to determine a course of action. Chief Bishop does not have the authority to terminate employees. Termination of any township employee requires a vote by the Board of Trustees.”
