 Peter Obi has blamed hunger and systemic failures for the recent spate of stampedes across the country.  Scores of persons were dead, and many others wounded in the tragic incidents in Ibadan, Oyo State; Okija in Anambra and another one in the nation’s capital of Abuja. The stampedes happened in a space of five days with the last two occurring on Saturday morning during food distribution campaigns. Obi, who was the Labour Party (LP)’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, said the incidents underline the rising hunger in the country which has led to desperation. “I am deeply saddened and distressed by the tragic loss of lives in desperate searches for food,” Obi, who is a former governor of Anambra State, wrote in a post on his X account Saturday afternoon. “While I will not cast blame but instead appreciate the organizers of these respective events for their kind gestures in providing palliatives and support to society, especially the poor, these tragedies reflect the...

NSCDC LAGOS STATE COMMAND ANTI - VANDAL UNIT UNCOVERS ILLEGAL OIL DUMP SITE, APPREHENDS SUSPECTED PERPETRATORS AND RECOVERS EXHIBITS.


Commandant Eweka Okoro avows his unflinching commitment to the vision of the Commandant General, in relations to the eradication of illegal dealings in petroleum products and all forms of economic sabotage in Lagos state.

The Commandant General (CG), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), CG Ahmed Abubakar Audi PhD, mni, has recently reiterated his vow to stamp out oil pipeline vandalism, illegal oil bunkering, illegal dealings in petroleum products, illegal mining of solid and natural minerals and other disheartening forms of economic sabotage, being perpetrated by criminal elements, in our dear nation.

In line with the charge of the CG above, the Commandant, NSCDC, Lagos State Command, Commandant Eweka Edenabu Okoro, has earlier today, Friday, 22nd July, 2022, ordered the parade of suspected oil thieves, apprehended by the Anti - Vandal unit of the Command, in connection to the operation of illegal bunkering site used for the adulteration of Automotive Gas Oil ( AGO ) also known as diesel, in a large quantity at No. 5 Abayomi Estate, Olusosun, bus stop, in the Oregun axis of Ikeja, Lagos .

According to the gallant Anti - Vandal unit, of the Command, the illegal bunkering site was stormed at about 15: 20hrs, yesterday, Thursday, 21st July, 2022, when the Anti - Vandal team on routine and surveillance patrol caught up with about six ( 6 ) suspected oil thieves, who were caught while attempting to load a forty thousand ( 40,000 ) capacity truck, with suspected adulterated AGO, also known as diesel at the site .

The Anti - Vandal Unit, of the Lagos State Command, upon bursting the illegal bunkering site, where it was discovered that AGO was being illegally stored, adulterated and used for commercial purposes, also arrested and recoverd the following persons and items respectively :

(i) six ( 6 ) suspects; four ( 4 ) male and two ( 2 ) female; Babatunde Adedayo (m) 35yrs, John Eric (m) 35yrs, Jude Uwosa (m) 51yrs, Sodiq Olawale (m) 27yrs, Neat John (f) 20yrs and Isaac Anita (f) 32yrs.
(ii) A truck ( Scania - white colour ), with plate number FS7737XF 
(iii) 2 pumping machines and both empty drums and filled drums, with suspected adulterated AGO discovered at the site.

The Commandant, NSCDC, Lagos State Command, Commandant Eweka Edenabu Okoro had also since directed immediately that the arrested suspects be brought for adequate interogation and investigation, in the Intelligence and Investigation (INT) Department , at the State Command Headquarters in Alausa, Ikeja, before further legal action will be taken on the matter.

The Anti - vandal unit of the Command has also been directed by the Commandant to take full charge of the illegal bunkering site immediately, so as to forestall any further untoward activity by these economic saboteurs of our collective commonwealth.

Finally, Commandant Eweka Okoro, while addressing news men at the site, earlier this morning, wondered at the shameful act by citizens, who are perceived to be honourable, considering the environment ( gated estate ), where the act was being perpetrated. However, he avowed his unflinching commitment to the vision and mission of the Commandant General, CG Ahmed Abubakar Audi, PhD, mni, in relations to the eradication of illegal dealings in petroleum products and all forms of economic sabotage in the state and nation. 

The Commandant also said, "he seized this opportunity to warn oil thieves in the state to desist from the inimical act capable of sabotaging the nation's economy with the disturbing untoward experiences it could bring upon the ordinary citizens of our nation." 

"He however, warned that failure of the unrepentant vandals and oil thieves to desist from the act will be meted with stiffer actions from the Command, which may eventually lead the culprits to face the full wrath of the law."

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
