 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers.

PERTH COUPLE DROWN TRYING TO SAVE THEIR DAUGHTER AT POPULAR WA BEACH. (PHOTO).


 Perth couple drown trying to save daughter at popular WA beach. 


A husband and wife have made the ultimate sacrifice, drowning while trying to save their daughter in rough waters at a holiday hotspot in southern Western Australia.


A third person who tried in vain to save Perth couple Dr Mohamed Swapan and his wife, Sabrina Ahmed, was recovering in hospital last night.


The loving family of four's Christmas holiday with friends turned deadly at Conspicuous Beach, near Walpole, yesterday afternoon.


Authorities were called to the area, about 200 kilometres south-east of Margaret River, when three people got caught in a rip about 2:40pm (5:40pm AEDT).


"Those girls. Oh, my God, you know. I feel, you know, sorry," friend and colleague Ruhul Salim said.


Swapan, 44, and Ahmed, 40 traded their lives to save their youngest daughter, who got into trouble in the water.


A third man, 42, jumped in to save his friends. He survived but the parents couldn't be revived. 


"All three basically drowned in the water. Then the other people and the community over there, nearby people, they came over and pull out all three," Salim said.


The girls were headed back to Perth where it was hoped they would continue to live in WA with their maternal uncle. 


Their parents were respected members of Perth's Bangladeshi community.


"The community will seriously miss this couple," Salim said.

"There has been a huge, you know, the tribute and condolences, since, you know, yesterday."
