The Yobe State Police Command has raised alarm over an alleged plan by Boko Haram terrorists to infiltrate the forthcoming #EndBadGovernance protest in August.

The command’s spokesman, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, July 27, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.

He said intelligence received by the command indicated that foreign mercenaries were engaged to destroy lives and property at the protest.

Mr Abdulkarim, therefore, called on would-be protesters to exercise caution.

He said: “As Yobe state recovers from insurgency, the commissioner of police, CP Garba Ahmed, acknowledges citizens’ constitutional rights to peaceful assembly.

“We are unprepared to face additional security challenges.”

According to Mr Abdulkarim, the protesters must indicate proposed protest routes and assembly points for a hitch-free protest.

The spokesman said they should also state the expected duration of the protest, names and contact details of leaders and organisers and measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements.

The statement said, “By providing this information, we can deploy adequate personnel and resources, designate specific routes and areas, establish clear communication channels, and minimise the risk of violence, property damage, or criminal activity.

A Facebook user, Anayo Henry has blamed a Nigerian woman who lamented about her husband’s infidelity, stating that she might have pushed him to be with the mistress.

The woman had commented on a post about Yul Edochie, his second wife, Judy, and estranged first wife May, saying that she’s currently facing the same issue in her marriage.
 
“I don’t like saying anything about this family because my husband is also misbehaving with another woman. So I can only say God help women in Jesus name, amen,” she wrote.
 
Responding to her comment, Anayo insinuated that the lady must have driven her husband into the arms of another woman.
 
“Madam, have you checked yourself? Think of what you have not been doing or doing well that sent your husband into another woman’s embrace. Hardly a man dumps a woman he married with his hard-earned resources for a random woman without a strong cause,” he wrote.

The Niger State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has appealed to Christians to shun the planned nationwide protest scheduled for Aug.1 to 10.

This was contained in a message to Christians in the state signed by Bishop Bulus Yohanna, chairman of CAN, in the state.

He stated that the protest could be hijacked by hoodlums which would cause problems for innocent citizens.

The message was read in the churches across the state on Sunday, July 28.

Yohanna said: “Genuine protest can easily be seized by hoodlums and selfish groups to cause enormous havoc on innocent citizens.

Yohanna, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Kontagora Diocese, enjoined church leaders, local government coordinators and parents to admonish their members and children to shun any planned protest in the interest of peace.

He charged them to remember the book of Romans 13:1-3 which talks about Christians not rebelling against constituted authorities.

“As you are aware, there are plans to stage a nationwide protest across the country.

,” he said.

He said that other well-meaning Nigerians, including the youths, had declared that they would not join the nationwide protest.

“I want us to note that as a body, the CAN, Niger state will not be part of the exercise but rather prefer to have peaceful dialogue and continue to pray for our nation,” he said.

“Peaceful protest with clear demands is good but such could be hijacked by miscreants and be perceived by security as a threat which can lead to arrests/shootings.

s,” said Yohanna.

He said that major stakeholders in Niger state had agreed not to join the protest.

The Bishop, however, urged governments at all levels to shun corruption and ethnic and religious bigotry.

The many yam sellers Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja are currently lamenting low sales brought on by price increase.

Nigerians have been complaining about the inflation and how they’ve been forced to forego most necessities.

Recently, people have been lamenting about the price of yams, plantain, and other food items, with even Nollywood actors crying out about the exorbitant prices of food.

To compound issues, there was confusion last week at the Bakin Dogo food market in Kaduna North Local Government Area, Kaduna State, as 100 tubers of old yam sold for N1 million at wholesale.

Now, Abuja yam sellers are complaining that they are unable to make sales because customers cannot afford their goods.

Blessing Timothy, a yam seller in the Masaka market, called on the federal and state governments to regulate the constant price increase of foodstuff to minimise the sufferings of Nigerians.

She also appealed to the government at all levels to provide farmers with modern farm inputs while ensuring the timely distribution of fertilisers to boost food production nationwide.

Ms Timothy said five tubers of yam now sell for between N15,000 and N30,000, depending on the sizes.

Hannah Duke, another yam seller in Mararaba, said the increase in the price of yam had affected her business, adding that she was gradually losing her capital.

According to her, most farmers don’t go to farms anymore because of insecurity. Those who managed to plant will pay the gunmen to be able to harvest—the cost of transportation and pesticides.

“All these go to the cost of production, and in the end, the farmers need to increase prices to make ends meet,’’ she said.

Ms Duke said the yam business was no longer profitable, making it difficult for people to buy yam.

“Sometimes we are forced to cut yams into pieces to sell; we sell small slices of yam between N1,000 and N2,000, depending on the size. We are appealing to the government to come to our aid,’’ she said.

Josephine Ejeh, another seller in Mararaba, expressed her frustration and said yam was now beyond the reach of the ordinary man.

“We don’t know where to start from. Last year, we sold a bundle of yams (five pieces) for N3,000, and now we are selling between N15,000 and N30,000, depending on the size.

“People are not patronising us again. I’ve been here since morning, and I have not sold anything. Everyone is complaining, and it is not our fault either.”

Nor also told the court that the Exparte motion for the order was supported with a 23-paragraph affidavit deposed to by Kayode A Ojo, a litigation officer with the agency and a written address

NDLEA listed the following grounds for the orders sought: “that the suspect, Sulaimon Jimoh alias “Olowoidiogede”, a.k.a. “Temo” is a wanted high profile drug baron who is in control of the Cannabis Drug trade in the whole of the West Africa Region.

“That several tons of the drugs of the suspect had been seized over the years and the suspect had always managed to escape arrest.

“That there is a need to pursue other diverse aspects of the case by way of extensive investigation.

“That it is necessary to have legal custody of the suspect and the items seized from him in order not to violate his rights.

“That it is a Statutory and procedural requirement. And that there is a need to vest proper custody of the vehicles in the Agency pending the conclusion of the investigation/trial.

“That this Honourable court has unfettered discretion to grant the orders sought.”
