Youths Protest Death Of Four People In Taraba

Mile Six Junction, along the Jalingo- Numan highway was under siege on Tuesday afternoon by aggrieved youths protesting the death of four persons after a fatal accident involving a petrol tanker and a tricycle on Monday.

Witnesses say, at about 5 PM on Monday, a commercial tricycle, popularly known as ‘Keke NAPEP’, was trying to cross the highway, when the tanker collided with the tricycle, thereby leading to the instant death of the passengers.

Reports gathered by Politics Nigeria reveal that the protesting youths were protesting the death of the passengers by burning tyres and blocking the highway. No vehicle was, however, allowed in and out of Jalingo metropolis.

Early Tuesday, youths were seen digging holes on the highway, aimed at creating speed bumps and slowing down traffic.

Also, security agents were seen trying to maintain order while the Commissioner of Works, Taraba state, Tafarki Agbadu, was making frantic efforts, alongside the Taraba State Roads Construction and Maintenance Agency, TARCMA, to appease the youths by agreeing to construct speed bumps.

Speaking to journalists at the scene of the accident, the rampaging youths insist they would not disperse if the speed bumps were not erected.Meanwhile, as at the time of writing this report, TARCMA had arrived the scene and work on the construction was about to begin.

The Mile Six junction in Jalingo is a big junction that connects the city center at the outskirts of the city. It is also a big transit road to Yola and Numan and experiences a lot of vehicular traffic, particularly long distance travelers. Unfortunately, despite its status, there is no traffic regulation or speed bumps at the junction- a situation that has resulted to several loss of lives and car crashes.

Below is also a photo from the accident that occurred yesterday;

“This man identified as Tosin Adeleye has been a resident of this area for quite a long period of time.“He is believed to be a destitute going about begging for alms but the Police believed that he was not actually a destitute but having an ulterior motive. That is why surveillance was mounted around him.

“We have been trying to investigate him for quite a period of time now and based on our intelligence gathering we moved into where he was living and on getting there, we conducted a search and what we recovered are those things you are looking at.

“That is to tell you that this man is not actually a destitute. Somebody who is believed to be a beggar is in possession of about 20 TV sets, 11 handsets, generators, roofing sheets. “How he came about these things is why we are going deep into the investigation to find out what actually is his motive and occupation.

“He has never been a radio repairer and if he is one, is he also a generator repairer? Far from it.“This is one of those people who pretend to be somebody in the daylight and something else in the night,” he concluded.

Panic As Suspected Cultists Kill 10 In Cross River Community....

Ten people were allegedly killed by young people believed to be cultists and armed gang members in Ekori town in Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River State over the weekend. The Divisional Crime Officer (DCO), Deputy Superintendent of Police John Eluu who is attached to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Ugep in the LGA, said however that as at 6 January 2017, only five people were killed, and that the Police had arrested more than 10 people, mostly youths.

Eluu said the police, having stepped in, would ensure that all those behind the killing were brought to book and the tension in the town doused.
The incident which residents of the town described as a ‘civil war’, was suspected to be sponsored by some politicians in the state.

One of the chiefs in the area who did not want his name in print, said, “Over the years these miscreants, recruited, armed and financed by dubious and power drunk politicians, have made life unbearable for the peace-loving people of Ekori by engaging in all sorts of lawlessness and impunity because they have the support of politicians close to the powers that be.”

He said that in July 2006, the suspected cultists had instigated “an orgy of blood bath in Ekori by fighting one another over which of them controlled turfs for some useless and selfish politicians.”

This is really sad and disheartening! A new born baby girl was found dead in a box after was she was allegedly dumped in the sewage and abandoned by her mother. Residents of the area were pictured evacuating the dead body of the child.

Another deadly militant group has emerged in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.

The new group, known as Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders, NDRC, Monday joined the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, who had recently declared its intention to resume attacks on oil installations in the oil-rich region.

The development is coming following the Federal Government’s alleged plan not to dialogue with the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF.

NDRC in a statement by its spokesperson, WOI Izon-Ebi, noted that, “After a keen observation of our ceasefire, declared on the 17th day of November, 2016, the Niger Delta Revolutionary Crusaders want to resume attacks with a warning to the Nigerian government and the oil multinationals to be ready for the consequences of their oppressive and devilish politicization of the Niger Delta agitation and failure to utilize the precious intervention of our distinguished royal fathers and elders of PANDEF.”

The statement alleged that the Federal Government had turned the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, secretariat.

It warned that the Commission “will be the first casualty of the renewed hostilities in the region because what we have discovered is so outrageous and shameful.”

According to the statement: “We want to sound it loud again to the Federal Government that we are fully in support of the Niger Delta Avengers’ Operation Wall of Jericho and Hurricane Joshua to knock all oil operations down in the country because enough-is-enough, our next line of action is not to warn the federal government again, because we have the capacity as the gods are with us.

We are freedom fighters that respect our elders, leaders, and royal fathers. But we take our directives from the gods of the Niger Delta. Any planned humiliation of our elders, leaders, and royal fathers could give room to the gods to pour their blessing to all genuine agitators and freedom fighters to defend their motherland from external aggression that is being spearheaded by the Fulani caliphate of systematic cleansing and grabbing of territories.

“We have confidence in the convener/leader of PANDEF, former Federal Commissioner of Information, Chief Edwin Clark, former military governor of Old Rivers state, HRM King Alfred Diete Spiff, former governor of Akwa-Ibom State, Obong Victor Attah, both co-chairmen of PANDEF and other leaders of the group, contrary to the claim of the Presidency that the group lacked credible leaders. These are well respected leaders that control respect in the Niger Delta region.

“So, why is the Federal Government politicizing and trying to discredit these distinguished personalities of the Niger Delta for their sincere effort to appease the agitators and freedom fighters of the Niger Delta to give peace a chance and halt all hostilities.

“The Federal Government was never sincere, all they were looking for was just to buy time to enable them prepare, acquire sophisticated arms to commit genocide against the defenseless people of the Niger Delta. It has been revealed and every right thinking Nigerian is now aware that the Buhari -led administration is more clueless then the past administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.”

On NDDC, it affirmed that: “The Federal Government has turned NDDC to APC secretariat. NDDC was established by the past administration of Olusegun Obasanjo because of the sacrifice of the Niger Delta youths for the development of the region and the empowerment of the Niger Deltans, irrespective of their political affiliation, but it has come to our notice that instead of the NDDC to be responsible to its primary responsibility of developing the Niger Delta and empowering its people, it is now used as a political machinery of the APC to cause disunity among the Niger Delta youths and its people.‎

“NDDC will be the first casualty of the renewed hostilities in the region because what we have discovered is so outrageous and shameful. We are sounding it as a warning to the Executive Director of Finance directly and all board members to retrace their steps because the NDDC was born out of the blood and sacrifice of Niger Delta youths. They should be warned because they and their family members could pay dearly for this sinful and devilish conspiracy against the Niger Delta.”

Meanwhile, a Niger Delta activist, Sheriff Mulade, has pleaded with the Niger Delta Avengers not to resume hostilities, saying peaceful negotiation remained the best option for the region.
