  The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has dismissed a viral claim circulating on social media about the introduction of new ₦5,000 and ₦10,000 banknotes, labeling it as fake news. The claim, which included fabricated images of the supposed new denominations featuring Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Chief Obafemi Awolowo, falsely stated that the new notes would enter circulation from May 1, 2025. In a statement on its verified Facebook account, the CBN clarified that the content is not from the bank and directed the public to its official website, (www.cbn.gov.ng), for authentic information. The bank warned against spreading misinformation regarding monetary policies and urged Nigerians to rely only on official statements from its verified channels. The CBN reaffirmed that any major policy decision, including the introduction of new banknotes, would be announced through its official platforms. The public is advised to remain cautious and verify financial information from credible sources befor...

CORPORAL AKOR MARTINS,NOW A LIVING DEAD.

-
Photo: He was a pitiable sight to behold at Crown Hospital, Nkpor in Anambra State, where he is on admission for treatment of broken legs and arm. He was all bones and no flesh left on his frail body. With eyes sunken deep into its sockets, and body lying still, unable to move because of the heavy chain locking his broken leg, Corporal Akor Martins, can be best described as a remnant of his old self. Until September 2013, Akor was a very active agile policeman attached to Ogbaru Divisional Police Station. But that month sadly, fate played a very cruel game on him. A hit- and-run driver knocked him down, while he was on official traffic duty post at Ogbaru. That accident left him with both legs broken. With that incident, a life of misery, rejection and abandonment by the police force, which he dedicated his life serving and the society, which he was on duty to protect, has set in. With no more flesh but all bones left of once strong agile man, what is left of Akor is vegetable. If you think that his employers, Nigeria Police Force, would come to his rescue at this hour of his need, you better think again. It took the intervention of his colleagues who taxed themselves to raise a meagre sum of N20,000 (twenty thousand Naira) with which he was rushed to the Crown Hospital, where he was on admission when THISDAY encountered him recently. Ever since the incident happened, no help has come his way, not from Ogbaru Division where he was on active duty before neither the incident nor the state command or the Force Headquarters. Looking lean and terribly emaciated, with iron fitted on both legs, Akor’s looked helplessly hopeless on his sick bed. From the look of things, only divine intervention can save him from death. Barely audible, Akor told our correspondent his pathetic story. According to him, “I was on traffic duty that day. Suddenly this vehicle came by driving recklessly. Before I could jump out of the way, the driver knocked me down.” Sensing big trouble, the driver zoomed off and never to be seen. “My station could not help me. It was after a while that my colleagues raised some money to rush me to hospital. Since that time, nobody has come to my aid. My DPO is aware of my condition. The incident happened while I was on duty so there is no way he won’t know.” Attempts to reach Crown Hospital and the Ogbaru Police Division to confirm what has become of Corporal Akor’s fate since encountering him at the hospital proved abortive.      On September 2013,Corporal Akor was a very active policeman attached to Ogbaru Divisional police station.He is lying down pitiable on that bed at Crown Hospital in Nkpor Anambra state after an accident,in which he was ran down by a hit and run driver while he was on official traffic duty post at Ogbaru.The accident left him with both legs broken.He was abandoned by the police force.It took the intervention of his colleagues who taxed themselves to raise a meagre sum of N20,000 which was used to rush him to the Crown Hospital.My concern now is that,he was serving his country before a reckless driver did this to him.Now he is abandoned will these single act of abandonment by the government send a signal to others that if anything happen's to that officer during the course of carrying out your official duty,they are not liable,is that a caveat from the Nigerian Government?.
