 Morehouse defends students, faculty who turned their backs during Biden speech: ‘We are proud’ Morehouse College is praising its students and faculty after at least seven graduates and one faculty member sat with their backs turned to President Biden as he delivered his commencement address at the Atlanta school earlier Sunday. Morehouse said "peaceful assembly is core" to the school’s "social justice tradition," and its administration "fully supports and defends the right to peacefully protest and the expression of one’s views openly."  Given its most famous alumni, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Morehouse said it was "fitting that a moment of organized, peaceful, activism would occur on our campus while the world is watching to continue a critical conversation."  "We are proud of the resilient class of 2024’s unity in silent protest, showing their intentionality in strategy, communication, and coordination as a 412-person unit," Morehou

 Dafinone calls for calm over killing of soldiers, young men in Okuama crisis


Senator Ede Dafinone (Delta Central) has called on those involved in the ongoing carnage at Okuama Community in Ughelli South Local Government Area to sheath their swords for the sake of humanity.

He also called on the State and Federal Government to urgently intervene to de-escalate the criss which according to available reports has allegedly claimed more than 18 lives including that of soldiers.

The leadership of Okuama Community had raised the alarm of alleged military invasion on Thursday  following a land dispute with neighboring community of Okoloba in Bomadi local government area which led to the death of three young men, with women and children displaced as well as many building razed.

The Nigerian army in a statement by Acting Director, Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, alleged that Commanding officer, two Majors, one Captain and 12 soldiers, who went on a peace mission were killed by Okuama people

Senator Dafinone, while reacting to the report on the death of the soldiers, three Okuama youths and the alleged burning down of property in Okuama community, described the incident as very unfortunate.

While sympathizing with the military authorities over the loss of their men, he called on them to observe the military rules of engagement while dealing with civilians.

He also called on the leaders and residents of Okuama to remain calm, urging the Federal and State governmenit to expedite action to arrest the ugly situation from degenerating into another humanitarian crisis.

According to Dafinone,: “I want to appeal for calm by the waring factions in the unfortunate incident that occurred in Okuama Community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State on Thursday and Friday leading to the needless death of about 18 persons including soldiers.

“The federal government must as a matter of urgency set up a high power independent panel to investigate the remote causes of this crisis, in order to bring whoever that may be involved in the killing of Nigerian civilians and soldiers to be brought to book.

“I wish to appeal to the authority of the Nigerian army to act discreetly in this situation , that they should not allow their emotions take better part of their professional judgement by toning down their operations and observed the rules of engagement while dealing with civilians at Okuama.

“I also wish to call on our people in Okuama to shun any act of violence that could further escalate this crisis, which could have been avoided if both parties allowed reason to prevail.

“The National Emergency Management Agency, should also reach out and provide relief materials to the people of Okuama, many of whom have been rendered homeless and are now living in surrounding bushes.”
