Former President Jonathan Calls for Peace in Rivers State Elections
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has cautioned police and judges against actions that could destabilize Rivers State, urging them not to bow to political pressures during the ongoing local government elections.
In a statement, Jonathan criticized the Nigeria Police’s role and called on the National Judicial Council (NJC) to take action against judges issuing conflicting rulings related to the elections. He warned that unrest in Rivers State could spread, threatening the entire Niger Delta.
Jonathan emphasized the importance of fair elections, urging political actors to prioritize the public’s well-being over personal interests. He called on security agencies and state institutions to uphold the rule of law and protect democracy, warning that the situation in Rivers State could mirror past regional crises that harmed national stability.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
