 “No electricity, no vote,” South Africans threaten to shun ruling party ANC Residents in Katlehong, a township outside Johannesburg, have resolved to boycott South Africa's upcoming local elections on November 4 due to long-standing failures by authorities to provide basic services like electricity. For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

INTERNAL SECURITY: POLICE REPEL TERROR ATTACKS, TAKE FIGHT TO ARMED BANDITS, CRIMINAL DENS


Scores of Recoveries Made, As IGP Commends Officers For Gallantry, Commitment.


In furtherance of the redoubled effort of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D  NPM, to sustaining the fight against all forms of crime and criminality across the country, the Nigeria Police Force has  remained steadfast and unyielding in its efforts to neutralize every threat to national security, and this has led to several successes. 


In one instance, police operatives attached to the Borno State Command repelled a group of armed and dreaded terrorists on the 28th of November, 2024. The group of unknown armed individuals attacked the Jakana Divisional Police Headquarters, Borno State, at about 01:00 AM. Fortunately, the group was met with strong resistance from gallant operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, who successfully repelled the attack and left many of the attackers with varying degrees of bullet wounds, while one police officer was injured and is currently responding to treatment. 


Similarly, on November 25th 2024, operatives attached to the Sokoto State Police Command, along with operatives from other sister security agencies, conducted raids on several black spots and bandits camps across various areas in the State, clearing out the camps and recovering some AK47 rifles and several magazines, each loaded with 30 rounds of live ammunition. Occupants of the camp took to their heels upon noticing the presence of the operatives while  efforts are on top gear to apprehend them all.


Also, in a bid to suppress the activities of kidnappers, police operatives attached to the Delta State Command on November 28th 2024, acting on a report of attempted kidnapping at Asaba, immediately swung into action, giving hot chase to the suspected kidnappers. The operatives intercepted and engaged the suspects in a gun duel, overpowering the suspected kidnappers and forcing them to flee into a nearby bush with sustained bullet injuries. Subsequent search of the suspected kidnappers’ operational vehicle led to the recovery of 3 Ak-47 rifle, 2 pump action rifles, 1 Ak-47 magazine, 8 rounds of AR Live ammunition, and 21 rounds of live cartridges.


The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., commends these gallant operatives for their steadfastness, commitment to duty, and bravery in the face of danger, leading to these remarkable feats and made recoveries. He admonishes police officers to remain brave and continue to decimate the plans and antics of criminally minded individuals in the country while ensuring the safety and security of lives and property in our dear country.
