MASSOB, IPOB blame Gov Obiano over death of 5 pro-Biafra protesters in Onitsha

 

 

 

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, who were the arrow-heads in the agitation for the release of detained leader and Director, Radio Biafra, Nnamadi Kanu, have accused Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State of alleged collusion with security operatives in the killing, maiming of its members who were last week, jubilating over the bail granted their leader by an Abuja Federal High Court.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Enugu Wednesday, MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu said, ”we hold Governor Willie Obiano responsible for the killings, arrest, torture, maiming and wounding of non-violent, peaceful IPOB, MASSOB members at Onitsha jubilation over the news of Nnamdi Kanu’s court release order.

“Anambra State in Nigeria where members of MASSOB, IPOB demonstrated, protested or jubilated because of Nnamdi is not the only state in Nigeria. We have not recorded any killings, harassment, massive arrest, clampdown, shootings, torture and unguided statement by only in Anambra State.

“During Obiano’s condolence visit to Hausa residents in Onitsha over the touching of Mosque by sponsored hoodlums, Obiano sympathized with them without mentioning or comiscerating with non-violence Biafran agitators killed, arrested and tortured by security agents. He tactically gave them back up to clampdown and disperse non violence MASSOB, IPOB members.

“This executive order prompted and motivated the Army to kill, maim, arrest many of our members in Ontisha including those killed on the day of jubilation.”

Lagos State Government cancels monthly environmental sanitation for December

 

 

LASG has lifted the order restricting vehicular and human movement during the December monthly Environmental Sanitation Exercise expected to come up on Saturday, 26th December, 2015 to allow free movement of persons during the end of year festive seasons and joyous transition into the New Year.

The State Commissioner for the Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare, disclosed this today at an interactive session with journalists in his office, Alausa, Ikeja urging Lagosians to still observe the monthly exercise and clean up their homes and immediate environment, irrespective of the lifting of the restriction order, which will resume in January.

He enjoined all and sundry to ensure that, the festival is celebrated in a clean and safe environment, emphasizing the old adage which says that ‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness.’

While wishing all Lagosians a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance, Adejare admonished all residents in the State to cultivate and imbibe a clean and hygienic way of life.

He urged Lagosians to bag their wastes properly and allow for easy collection and disposal to designated dumpsites by LAWMA and PSP Operators.

He assured Lagosians that, LAWMA is fully mobilized and would deploy men and equipment to ensure quick evacuation of waste generated during the festive period, while noting that, as we approach the New Year, they should consolidate on the gains of a clean city, which we have all worked hard to attain.

He added that, the State Government remains determined in its commitment to a clean, hygienic and flood-free environment urging Lagosians once again to desist from indiscriminate dumping of refuse into drains and unapproved sites.

According to him, “We should therefore be reminded that a clean, safe and healthy environment promotes long life as well as reduces unnecessary health problems”.

Greek parliament votes to recognise Palestinian state

Greek parliament votes to recognise Palestinian state

 

 

The Greek parliament voted in a resolution recognising the state of Palestine on Tuesday making it the latest European legislative body to recognise Palestine statehood.

The voting took place during a special parliamentary session attended by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, and Alexis Tsipras, the Greek prime minister.

“The Greek parliament pledges to promote all the necessary procedures to recognise the state of Palestine and to make every diplomatic effort for the immediate resumption of credible, peace talks between the two sides,” said Nikos Voutsis, the parliamentary speaker, before asking members to rise for the voting procedure.

The resolution is non-binding and not by the Greek state, so as “not to disturb good relations with Israel”, according to a statement released by the Greek foreign ministry.

Several other European parliaments – such as in Britain, Ireland and France – have passed similar resolutions.

The state of Palestine currently enjoys bilateral recognition from 137 nations.

After the vote, Abbas delivered a speech in the Greek assembly calling on all countries to recognise Palestine as a state and support a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“We call on countries to support a two-state solution on the Palestine issue. We call on countries that have not yet recognised the state of Palestine to do so now,” Abbas said.

Greece, which enjoys close relations with Israel, has steadily supported the creation of a Palestinian state on the basis of the 1967 borders and with the capital in East Jerusalem.

After years of failed peace talks with Israel, Abbas responded by signing 15 international treaties, including the Geneva Conventions on the conduct of war and occupations.

Israel condemned the move as a unilateral step towards statehood.

Footballer Alexis Sanchez out another three weeks after hamstring setback

 

Arsenal will be without star Alexis Sanchez for another three weeks, manager Arsene Wenger said after Monday’s 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Sanchez has been out since November with a hamstring injury, and though he recently returned to training he was left out of the squad at the Emirates on Monday night.
And Wenger revealed after the game that the Chile international would remain out into the new year.

“Sanchez will be back around January 10. We can’t count on him around the Christmas period. He’s had a very slight setback,” Wenger said.
“It was planned for him to be on the bench for City. He’s so keen, but he got a little pain in training two days ago and we haven’t taken a gamble.”

The 27-year-old has shone for Arsenal with nine goals in 20 games in all competitions.
But he will miss Premier League games against Southampton, Bournemouth and Newcastle, as well as the FA Cup clash with Sunderland.
Arsenal’s next game after Wenger’s Jan. 10 timeframe is away to Liverpool on Jan. 13.

Boko Haram: Insurgents Now Cry To Attract Attention – Nigerian Military

The Military have warned Nigerians against falling victims of new modes of operation adopted by Boko Haram insurgents to attract unsuspecting members of the public to themselves before wreaking havoc.

According to a Monday statement by Acting Director of Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Rabe Abubakar some of the insurgents now resort to crying by the roadside in order to attract the attention of sympathetic passers-by.

He said: “When a lot of people of goodwill gather to render help in the process, the suicide bomber detonates bombs which they conceal under their clothes. The recent suicide bombing in Damaturu is instructive.

“Similarly, suicide bombers used monetary incentives and other inducements especially in crowded places to lure innocent citizens in order to cause colossal damage to both lives and property. Yola suicide incident is fresh in our memory.”

He said the terrorists were resorting to these unusual means to perpetuate fear in the mind of Nigerians as they have been driven out of their strongholds and enclaves.

While imploring Nigerians to be vigilant, especially in this festive period, Abubakar urged them to be wary of gathering in crowded parks, worship centres and such places as they are hot targets for terrorists.

FG will Impose Additional Fine on MTN If December Deadline is Not Met-- Shittu

The Federal Government has said that despite the court action initiated by MTN against the N1.4trn fine which was later reduced to N780 billion, the fine still stands and another fine may be imposed if the telecoms company refuses to pay the fine before the deadline.

Minister of Communications, Mr Adebayo Shittu, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Victor Oluwadamilare made it clear that nothing would stop the government from imposing additional fine on MTN.

He said “It is the right of MTN to approach the court but there was an infraction, which MTN admitted to have committed before it pleaded for leniency that led to the reduction of the fine from N1.4 trillion to N780 billion and the subsequent December 31, 2015 deadline to pay.

“If it has decided to go to court, it is still within the ambit of the law. I will not intervene, since they have gone to court, we will allow the court to decide if it is right for MTN to commit those infractions and breach the laws of the land.

“It is unwise for MTN to go to court after the Federal Government had magnanimously reduced the fine. It will surely be fined for violating the rule at the expiration of the deadline, should it fail to pay the initial fine.”

DSS Drops Charges Against Nnamdi Kanu, Court Discharges Him

 

Magistrate of the Chief Magistrate Court, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, Shuaibu Usman, on Wednesday discharged the Director of Radio Biafra and Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),  Nnamdi Kanu, on all counts of criminal conspiracy and ownership of an unlawful society brought against him by the federal government. 

After holding that the government had dropped the charges against Kanu, the judge ruled:  “The accused person is hereby discharged and the case struck out.”

The government through its agent, the Department of State Services (DSS), had elected to withdraw the case at the lower court for a higher court, which has jurisdiction to entertain charges bordering on terrorism, to take over. Usman was scheduled to deliver judgment on the application of the DSS on December 1, but he put it off until December 16, reports TheCable. 

The DSS has held Kanu for at least 90 days despite an order of the magistrate court granting him bail in October. After the lower court granted him bail, the DSS got an order of the federal high court, Abuja, to keep the leader of IPOB in detention. However, his lawyer, Vincent Obetta, filed a counter application, seeking bail for the accused person. Meanwhile, Justice of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Adeniyi Ademola, is expected to rule on the bail application on Thursday.

Since, the arrest and detention of Kanu by Nigeria’s secret Police, in Lagos, on Saturday, October 17,  wave of protests, engineered by IPOB, as well as members of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) had swept through the South-East and parts of the South-South, demanding an immediate and unconditional release of Kanu.
