 Alia’s car gift to Benue judiciary in order – Attorney General The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Public Order of Benue State, Hon. Barr. Fidelis Mnyim has said the car gift to the judiciary by Governor Hyacinth Alia is a symbol of support and commitment as promised when he assumed office. Barr Mnyim was reacting to a query posed by Prof. Ernest Ojukwu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, in a tweet on Monday, 7th May 2024, challenging the viability of the autonomy granted to Benue State Judiciary if the State governor was still buying cars for them. MAGIC FM recalls that Governor Alia donated six (SUV) vehicles recently to the judiciary. The Professor had wondered why Governor Alia of Benue State should procure vehicles for the state’s judiciary when the funds allocated to the judiciary could be utilized for that purpose. The Attorney General of the State said that the procurement of vehicles for the judiciary constituted an additional benevolent gesture by the Governor.

Properties  worth over  one hundred million nalra were lost  on Monday morning when a fire broke out from one of the main blocks of  the World bank assisted hostel at St.John's Science and Technical College Alor.

According to a report at the scene of the incident,the fire outbreak occurred after some attempts to start the school's generator failed.

The Principal/Manager of the College Reverend father Dr.Francis Unegbu who spoke to the press on the incident, said the fire started between 9 and 9.30 am on Monday morning when the students were having their breakfast.

According to the principal, there was no human casualty but properties worth between 80 million naira and 100 million naira were lost in the inferno.

Father Unegbu reported that hostels A,B anC of the world bank assisted uncompleted project housing over 400 students were affected.

The cleric further reported that the school authority mobilized its students to quench the fire after its futile attempts to get some state fire fighting zones to come to its rescue.

Father Unegbu acknowledged the efforts of the Archbishop of the Onitsha Archdiocese Most Reverend Dr.Valerian Okeke who had assisted in building the hostel with over fifty million naira aid.

He expects that having briefed him on the latest development, he will come to the institution's aid.

The school manager used the forum to appeal to the Anambra state government to come to the aid of the college to complete the project as well as to help it combat its erosion challenges.

In his reaction,the National President of the old boys of the St.John's Science and Technical college Alor Dr.Cyprian Afunugo reported that he swung into action as soon as one of the old boys of the college and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria Chief Emeka Ngige called him from Lagos.

Dr.Afunugo reported his fruitless efforts to get the state fire service namely the Awka and Nnewi fire stations to come to the rescue of the college,and how the students of the college wrestled the fire to a halt.

The national President urged the state government to ensure that at least two functional fire fighting vehicles are stationed at Nnewi and others in the other big cities of Onitsha,Ekwulobia,Ihiala,etc.

He expects that the fire responsiveness of government should be very prompt at the touch of a dial of fire outbreak emergency number
