 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.

IDOMA CARNIVAL: OCHI' IDOMA, MINISTER HARP ON PRESERVATION OF CULTURE



The Ochi’Idoma, His Royal Majesty, Agaba-Idu, Dr John Elaigwu Odogbo, has charged the people of Idomaland to continue to preserve the culture and tradition of the Idoma nation by supporting the annual Idoma International Carnival.

The Ochi’Idoma made the call in an address yesterday to guests and participants at the ongoing 10th Edition of Idoma International Carnival in Otukpo, Benue State.

Odogbo said the Idoma people are hospitable people even as he called for sharing of information.

“We are rich in cultural heritage and we need a forum like this to showcase what we are blessed with and that is what this carnival is all about,” Odogbo said.

The monarch also hailed the federal government for showing support to the carnival and called on sons and daughters of Idomaland to support the annual event.

He also commended the president of Idoma International Festival, Prince Edwin Ochai, for single handedly sustaining the carnival for 10 years and assured of the support of the Idoma Area Traditional Council to the success of the event.

In a brief remark, the minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, said his ministry is happy to see the development in Otukpo because culture is life. “Without Culture, we are nothing. It is not about your name, it is about your culture”.

The minister who was represented by the deputy director, Festival and Culture, Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Festus Ojieh, said the Idoma International Carnival is a platform to sell the culture of Idomaland.

“I am sure in the nearest future you will realise what this project is all about and I urge each of you to key into it. You must come together to tell your culture because culture is money,” Mohammed said.

He said the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture is keying into the carnival and will continue to support it.
