Tension in Ondo Community After Youth Leader Killed in NSCDC Clash
Tension has gripped Bature community in Ondo State after the alleged killing of a youth leader, Faturoti Eric, during an altercation with personnel from the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The incident reportedly occurred during a raid by NSCDC officers attempting to make an unlawful arrest. Community members resisted, leading to the officers opening fire, resulting in Eric’s death.
A statement by a community leader, Sekoni, called for justice and urged Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to intervene. They warned of potential protests if no action is taken.
The NSCDC, however, denied wrongdoing, claiming their officers were attacked while trying to apprehend illegal miners and acted in self-defense. NSCDC spokesperson Daniel Aidamenbor promised further details after an investigation.
Former US President and first Black president, Barack Obama, speaks on leadership and gender. He spoke about how it would be nice for women to be in charge every now and then, as it would strike a balance and advance the government.
“Even when I was President, I sometimes fantasized about if you put women in charge of every government for like two years, and then just kind of saw, ‘All right, how are things going?’”
“I have a strong belief that things wouldn’t be perfect, but they’d be better. I’m confident about that. I really do,” he added.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, speaks on the state of the country and President Tinubu’s reign.
He analyses it and shares how Tinubu has made tough decisions. “About three years ago, President Bola Tinubu assumed office amid some very significant and structural challenges, and physical challenges.”
“His administration chose to confront the long-standing distortions rather than postpone them, and those decisions were indeed very difficult and were not politically convenient. And because of those decisions, Nigerians have borne some real costs.”
“Today, however, Nigeria is moving from the difficult work of reforms and stabilisation towards a new phase of growth and shared prosperity.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, speaks on the road projects in Abuja and their completion. He shared that they will be completed and described them as Tinubu’s Christmas gift to citizens.
“We have promised the residents that this will be their Christmas gift by Mr President as part of their Christmas gift so that they’ll go back home and enjoy their Christmas celebration.
“You can imagine the happiness of those who stay here. You know that with these roads, the economy of the affected communities will change,” he said.
