Gunmen Attacks Ngbo Amaka Village In Ebonyi State
Gunmen attacks a village in Ebonyi State, Ngbo Amaka village in Ngbo, killing a 48 year old man who was a native in that village. This incident was confirmed and released on Wednesday by the State Police Public Relations Officer.
The Officer, Joshua Ukandu has contacted the Ohaukwu Police Divisional Headquarters and deported a team for immediate investigation. He states that there aren’t full details on the incident yet but the information will surely be revealed soon but the team sent out.
A statement was given by one of the locals stating the man he was shot twice by the gunmen who hid themselves in disguise. “Immediately I heard the gunshot, I rushed out from the back and one of them grabbed me, collected my phone and was dragging me to the house but as God will have it, I freed myself from him and ran to the nearby compound.”
“As a result of the gunshot, most of the residents of the area all scampered for safety, leaving him and the hoodlums. After the shooting him, the hoodlums set him ablaze inside the house and zoomed off.”
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
