FRSC Direct Immediate Recall of Patrol Team For Slapping Motorist in Viral Video

The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Ali Biu has directed the immediate recall of the patrol team that was captured on camera behaving in a manner, tantamount to incivility against a member of the public within Egbeda Unit Command general operational area. The provocative act as captured on camera is a complete contravention of the Federal Road Safety Corps’ standard operating procedures for officers on patrol operations.

In that regard, the Corps Marshal has directed the Corps Intelligence Office as well as the Corps Provost Office to commence with immediate effect, a full and comprehensive investigation into the entire circumstances that propelled the officer into the uncivil act and make necessary recommendations for swift administrative action.

He stated that FRSC is an ISO certified organisation that does not condone indiscipline or compromise standards when it comes to rendering service to the public. As such all necessary disciplinary actions recommended will be administered appropriately.

Cult Clashes Ravage Nwaniba, In Uyo

Residents of Nwaniba, in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state have not slept with their eyes closed due to a  bloody supremacy clash between two rival cult groups – Klaans and Black Axe confraternities – over the control of a minibus park in that axis.

It was gathered that the incident started on Sunday in the Nwaniba Area of the state when the two groups engaged each other over alleged encroachment into the park to collect parking tolls by one group, forcing an angry reaction from the opposing camp.

A resident of the community, Nora Iwang, told Journalists in Uyo  that property estimated at several millions of naira have been destroyed in the clashes while thousands have deserted their homes.

Nora who said she was returning home that fateful day disclosed that she had to sleep with relations and friends outside the area, following distressed calls from frightful neighbours around Udo Ekpo Nkpo Street.

“Thank God, I finally arrived at my house this morning  after my friends called me Monday evening to sleep elsewhere and not to return for fear of being killed by the rampaging armed hoodlums,” Iwang lamented.

Investigation revealed that eight people were slaughtered in Use Offot, and over 10 others were killed in Anua, Ekpri Nsukara and Oniong communities, while several others have been hospitalised in various hospitals with varying degrees of injuries.

Meanwhile, the police Public Relations Officer, SP Odiko Macdon, who confirmed the killings, said only four people were killed, adding that “the Commissioner of Police Olatoye Durosinmi, is miffed at the disruption of public order and safety by two rival cult groups at Anua Offot and Use Offot, both at Nwaniba, in Uyo Local Government Area, leading to the loss of lives.

“The CP condemned in strong terms the wanton destruction of lives and has vowed to bring perpetrators to book, hence, he has deployed Tactical resources to restore order and fish out the perpetrators.

“The CP has, therefore, called on residents of the said communities and Uyo, to go about their lawful businesses without fear of molestation and be assured of their safety because of strategies emplaced.

“He has sent a clear warning to perpetrators of these dastardly acts to desist forthwith or face the dire consequences of their actions,” Macdon said in a statement on Tuesday.

March 30, 2023 DSS Uncovers Interim Government Plot, Cautions Politicians Against Inciteful Acts

DSS Uncovers Interim Government Plot, Cautions Politicians Against Inciteful Acts

The Department of State Services (DSS) has warned Political actors to be careful in statements and actions as it has uncovered plots of an Interim Government.

It said there was a conspiracy to set aside the constitution and install an interim government after May 29 by “misguided” political elements.

The DSS in a press statement warned against moves to scuttle democracy, vowing to do all within its powers to frustrate the scheme.

It said it has identified key players in the plan, but opted not to name any yet.

DSS spokesman Dr Peter Afunanya, warned those behind the plot to thwart democracy to retrace their steps.

Afunanya said the Service considers the plot being pursued by these entrenched interests as not only an aberration, but a mischievous way to set aside the constitution and undermine the civil rule.

The agency said the aim was to plunge the country into an avoidable crisis.

The statement reads: “The planners, in their many meetings, have weighed various options.

“These include, among others, sponsoring endless violent mass protests in major cities to warrant a declaration of a state of emergency.

“Another is to obtain frivolous court injunctions to forestall the inauguration of new executive administrations and legislative houses at the federal and state levels.

“The DSS supports the President and Commander-in-Chief in his avowed commitment to a hitch-free handover and will assiduously work in this direction.

“It also supports the Presidential Transition Council and other related bodies in the states.

“It will collaborate with them and sister security and law enforcement agencies to ensure seamless inaugurations come 29th May, 2023.

“Consequently, the Service strongly warns those organising to thwart democracy in the country to retract from their devious schemes and orchestrations.

“Stakeholders, notably judicial authorities, media and the civil society, are enjoined to be watchful and cautious to avoid being used as instruments to subvert peace and stability of the nation.

“While its monitoring continues, the DSS will not hesitate to take decisive and necessary legal steps against these misguided elements to frustrate their obnoxious intentions.”
