 Lagos Assembly Denies Awarding N17bn Gate Contract The Lagos State House of Assembly has dismissed as baseless allegations made by an anti-corruption group that it awarded a N17 billion contract for the construction of its gate. In a statement issued on Thursday, Mr. Stephen Ogundipe, Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Security, and Strategy, clarified that the project in question was completed over three years ago and that no recent gate construction had taken place. The Lagos State Anti-Corruption Coalition had recently written to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), requesting an investigation into the alleged contract. Ogundipe labeled the petition as frivolous and politically motivated, designed to tarnish the reputation of the Assembly. He emphasized that although the Assembly has its own procurement unit, it follows the state government's official procurement process from start to finish. Ogundipe questioned the credibility of the allegations, p...

 BAUCHI STATE POLICE COMMAND


PRESS RELEASE    19/11/2024


CRIME: Command arrests ex-convict, six other suspects for various offences, stolen items recovered

...As CP MM Auwal assures serene "ember" months, more aggressive stance against miscreants.


In alignment with its enduring commitment to maintaining public safety, particularly as the yuletide season approaches, the Bauchi State Police Command has put in place a robust strategy against criminal activities across the state.  


Recent operations have yielded significant outcomes:    


On November 17, 2024, acting on credible intelligence, officers from the Yelwa Divisional Police Headquarters led by the DPO successfully apprehended six individuals suspected of involvement in criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, aiding and abetting criminal activities. The arrested individuals are:  


1. Musa Umar, aged 17  

2. Ibrahim Mohammed, aged 17  

3. Bilal Musa, aged 17  

4. Idriss Jibrin, aged 17  

5. Maryam Salisu, aged 40  


During investigation, the following stolen items were recovered from the suspects:  


1. Two laptops  

2. Four mobile phones and three chargers  

3. Two flashlights  

4. Three bottles of palm oil  

5. One headphone set  

6. One power bank  

7. One MP3 player  


In a related incident, detectives from the Yelwa Divisional Police Headquarters arrested Adamu Mohammed, aged 22, from the GRA area of Bauchi, who was found in possession of an armored cable, believed to be stolen. During questioning, the suspect admitted to stealing the cable from his place of employment, where he served as a security guard. The investigation is ongoing, and the suspect will face charges upon its conclusion.  


Furthermore, the command also re-arrested an ex-convict Jaafar Lawan, aged 34, for robbery. The suspect was previously arrested for criminal conspiracy and armed robbery on 27/07/2023 when he disguised himself as a passenger and boarded an okada (motorcycle taxi) driven by one Kabiru Muhammadu, a 30-year-old male from the Magaji Quarters area of Bauchi, at the central market heading towards the old airport area. Upon reaching the Wikki Oil axis, Jaafar and an accomplice, Mustapha Adam, brought out a trailer-wheel spanner and struck the rider on the head, causing a serious injury and rendering him unconscious. The suspects were subsequently charged and convicted in court.


However, following a complaint lodged on 17/11/2024, detectives from the Dutsen Tanshi Divisional Police Headquarters swiftly initiated an investigation, revealing that the suspect had committed another crime. According to the victim, the suspect stopped him and requested a ride to the Gidan Kaji area at around 11:00 AM. While en route to the location, the suspect asked the victim to pull over by the roadside. The victim then lost consciousness, allegedly due to a suspected powder applied to him. He later regained consciousness in a hospital three days later.


The investigation remains active, and the suspect will be charged in court upon its completion.  


Consequently, the Commissioner of Police, CP Auwal Musa Muhammad, psc, Anipr, has mandated the implementation of stringent security measures across the state to ensure a safe and peaceful festive period for all residents.

  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...
