A non-governmental organisation, Human and Environmental Development Agenda Resource Centre, has dragged the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, before the Federal High Court in Lagos for the failure of the police to probe the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, who was accused of forging an exemption certificate of the National Youth Service Corps.

The NGO is praying the court to grant it leave to seek an order of mandamus to compel the IG to probe the forgery allegation against the minister.

HEDA said it resorted to filing the suit to prevent the case from being swept under the carpet, especially in view of the silence of the minister and the Federal Government on the case.

HEDA’s Chairman, Mr Olanrewaju Suraju, said the suit became necessary after the Inspector-General of Police allegedly shunned its July 10, 2018, demanding the probe of the minister.

HEDA said if the forgery allegation against Adeosun was true, it would like the minister to be prosecuted, alongside the officials of the Department of State Services who cleared her for ministerial appointment, and members of the National Assembly who also cleared her and subsequently used the infraction to blackmail her.

In its ex parte application before the court, HEDA prayed for an urgent hearing of the case “in the overriding interest of justice since the subject matter is of utmost national concern and particularly of great interest to civil society in general.” LR News

To strengthen the management of pensions under the Defined Benefits Scheme (DBS), the Pension Transmission Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) says it will integrate automated computation of pension benefits in the coming months.

She said it had initiated the digitisation of pensioners’ data and records in order to maintain a comprehensive database of pensioners under DBS.
Others initiatives, according her, include the establishment of care and empathy department that enhances prompt resolution of complaints.
“The department sees to the conduct of verification exercises under conducive environment.
“The unit also ensures provision of food, water and medical facilities at all verication and workshops center.

A Superintendent of Police last week Friday died on top of his lover, while having sex with her in his office at the Police College Ikeja in Lagos State.

The lover, a single mother of two, who had since been detained by detectives from Ikeja Police Station, denied having anything to do with his death.

According to her, the SP, simply identified as Sunday, was fond of taking sex enhancement drugs whenever they wanted to have sex.

She reportedly said: “He always used to have sex with me in his office. “He had already gone once, but as usual, he was not satisfied.

“In fact, I told him on that day that the drugs he used to take anytime we want to have sex is not too good for my body. “I didn’t like it because I was the person that used to bear the brunt of it. “He would be pounding into me for a very long time and because of the drug. “He usually takes long to come.

“On that fateful day, after he went first on the round, he refused to allow me to dress. “He started playing with me until his manhood became turgid again. “He then started pounding into me again.”

The woman, who is a petty trader, said that at a point, Sunday began to act funny. He rolled off her, rolled off the couch in his office, where they were having sex, to the ground and started jerking.
The scared woman repeatedly called out his name, but did not respond and continued jerking.

When she noticed that his tongue was beginning to protrude and foams emitting from his mouth, she unlocked the office, ran out and started screaming, unmindful that her brassieres was dangling.

Eyewitnesses said that by the time help came, Sunday was dead. He was found stark naked with his hurriedly removed shirt and trouser still on his office table.

We gathered that Sunday, married, was recently promoted to SP and would be retiring next month.

Some of his subordinates alleged that he was fond of having sex in his office with different women.

He was also accused of being fond of compelling female recruits to have sex with him in his office.

When his wife was alerted, she rushed down to Ikeja Police College, where Sunday served. She broke down in tears and accused the Nigerian Police Force of finally succeeding in killing her husband.
She was immediately given a rough sketch of what transpired.

Before his death, Sunday was the Officer-in-Charge of the Works Department, Police College Ikeja.

The remains of the officer had been deposited at Ikeja General Hospital. LR News
