House Of Rep. Urges Action to Prevent Nationwide Flooding
The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Ministries of Water Resources and Environment to direct the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency to implement measures to prevent flooding nationwide.
They also called for desilting of major dams and rivers to reduce excessive flooding, following recent floods in states like Borno, Yobe, and Zamfara that caused loss of lives and property. The motion, led by Mohammed Shehu from Bauchi State, emphasized that dredging dams and rivers is essential to protecting farmers from flood damage.
Shehu expressed concern over the lack of government support for flood control, leading to significant crop losses and financial struggles for farmers. The House Committees on Water Resources, Environment, and Agriculture were tasked to propose solutions within four weeks.
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.
