 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife. Anthony had taken several people as hostages, including Aurora Almanza and her 3-year-old son.  Multiple agencies were on the scene, including the Bureau County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and  the Princeton Police Department.  Authorities attempted to negotiate but ultimately rushed the room when they heard screaming coming from inside.  Officials have reported that officers fired shots as they entered the room.

Anambra Government Marks Over 50 Structures For Demolition Over Breach Of Master Plan At Umuokpu Timber Market




Anambra State Government has marked over fifty structures for demolition at Umuokpu-Awka Timber Market. 

They structures were said to have breached the master plan of the market and did not have approval plans.

This came after a combined team of Anambra State Ministry of Commerce and Industry and Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, ACTDA, visited the market following a reliable tip-off. 

The marked structures, according to valid sources, were allegedly erected through shady deals involving the market's leadership.

These moves, according to local regulatory agencies, were neither authorized nor followed development procedures contained in the master plan for the market.

Speaking after the team had toured the market, the Commissioner Commerce and Industry, Dr Obinna Ngonadi, described what is going on at the market as fraud, noting that most of the structures fail integrity tests at mere sight. 

Dr Ngonadi said that the market leadership must immediately provide the master plan and approval for every structure or risk having all the marked structures pulled down. 

On his part, the Managing Director of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, ACTDA, Venerable Amaechi Okwuosa, said that the master plan will inform the decision of the agency on structures that do not fall within the circumference of the market.

Venerable Okwuosa stated that while the market has a period of seven days to come up with the master plan, demolition is not ruled out. 

A team from ACTDA was also at Isuaniocha, Awka North Local Government Area, where it pulled down the fencing of a property for flouting removal orders because it was obstructing an approved pathway.
