OMG! Retired Police Officers Died While Waiting For Gratuities

Fifteen members of the Association of Retired Police Officers of Nigeria, Kwara State chapter, were said to have died within a month due to non-payment of their retirement stipends by the authorities.

The state chairman of the association and a retired chief superintendent of police, Mr. Yakubu Abdul, who led his colleagues in a peaceful protest march in Ilorin on Tuesday, appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to look into their plight.

The retirees, who lamented that many of them were seriously ill, said that others could no longer meet their family obligations not to talk of paying their children school fees, as resumption of schools was fast approaching.

How will policemen who are currently in service not take bribe with things like this?

The protesters, who marched through major streets of Ilorin metropolis, also took their protest to the state House of Assembly, the state police command headquarters, Government House, Pension Commission office, Ilorin, and National Health Insurance Scheme office, among others, where they appealed to the appropriate authorities to look into their plights without further delay.

“It is disheartening to note that after serving the country meritoriously and retiring from service, our gratuities and pensions could not be paid while the authorities saddled to pay the dues have mismanaged the money,” the chairman lamented.

They carried placards with inscriptions such as, ‘We are dying, President Muhammadu Buhari, Help us,” “Our Pension is embezzled,” “Pension is for life,” “PMB should empower ICPC/EFCC to investigate pension officials,” “National Housing Fund is a fraud,” “After serving for 35 years meritoriously, our take home pay is N20,000,” among others.

Buhari Very Angry Over National Assembly Huge Salaries, Smaller Salaries Coming

President Muhammadu Buhari has rebuked the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission for approving excessive remunerations for some political office holders in the country.

And he has urged the commission to seek a proper interpretation of its powers and address the public outcry against the unreasonably high payments. He gave the order when the RMAFC chairman and members briefed him in Abuja on the cost of governance in the country.

Excessive payment to political office holders has remained a hot topic in Nigeria, since Buhari assumed power in May and followed up with a voluntary massive reduction in his salary. Expectations that the National Assembly which votes N150 billion yearly for its recurrent expenditure, would take a cue, were dashed as senators vehemently resisted the 30 per cent reduction in their pay package as recommended by an ad-hoc panel set up to address the issue.

Despite the grave poverty in the country, Nigeria’s assemblymen earned the highest salaries in the world. Ordinarily a senator gets a monthly salary of N1.4 million while his colleague in the House gets N1.1 million a month.But the allowances they received are humongous, far above the markings set by the RMAFC.

For instance, each senator earns N6,079,200 for furniture. House members get receive N5,955,637.

The President urged the chairman and members of the RMAFC, who availed him of their view on the vexed issued of petroleum subsidy payments, to go “back to the drawing board” and come up with more humane proposals to rescue ordinary Nigerians from the “wicked manipulation” of the country’s oil industry by corrupt operators.

Ikorodu robbery suspects sue IGP; say they were forced to make false statements

The four armed robbery suspects arrested in July in connection with the Ikorodu Bank robbery which occurred on June 24th, have dragged the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase before a Federal High Court in Lagos over claims that they were forced to confess to being part of an 18-man armed robbery gang that attacked the banks.

The four men were paraded before newsmen on July 6th where they confessed to being involved in the robbery attack. The court paper which has been filed before Justice Mohammed Yunusa through their lawyer, A Akanbi, states that they made confessional statement to newsmen under duress.

He argued that the police had no right to parade the suspects to be interviewed by the press unless such a suspect wishes to give interview after the matter has been charged to a court of competent jurisdiction.

Their counsel also alleges that the police have denied him and the family members of the suspects access to see them since their arrest

"The applicants’ counsel were not allowed to see the applicants even to have a brief interview when they visited the defendants on July 15, 2015. The applicants’ constitutional rights under Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution are at stake because the defendants have already taken a bias position by denying the applicants’ family or their counsel their right of visiting them in police custody. It will be in the interest of justice if the applicants are brought before this honorable court so that the court can ascertain whether the applicants are still alive. It will be in the interest of justice if the applicants can be charged by the defendants to court since they have already spent over 24 hours in custody and failure to do this will amount to usurpation of the constitutional powers of the judiciary.”the court paper states

Woman runs over her husband after arguement, kills him (Graphic)

A woman intentionally ran over her husband in Lanham, MD, Maryland, USA with her SUV on Sunday afternoon after they argued over something. The man, who you can see under the tyre (right pic) was pronounced dead on the scene.

The suspect, Araceli Alvarez-Mendoza, 37, and her husband, Fernando Fragoso-Duana, 36, got into an argument at their home on the 9400 block of Worrell Avenue, according to Prince George's County police. Fragoso-Duana then left the home and began walking in the neighborhood. 

Mendoza followed her husband in an SUV and intentionally ran him over with the vehicle, police say.

"She ran him over. I sat there and I watched her, she did that on purpose," a witness told News4. She opened her front door to find the wrecked vehicle in her front yard, and said Mendoza stepped out of the SUV screaming. Mendoza then tried to pull her husband from underneath the vehicle to no avail.

A neighbor tried using a car jack to lift the car off of Duana.

Police arrived the scene and found Duana unresponsive underneath the SUV. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Mendoza is charged with first-degree murder and has admitted her involvement in her husband's death, police said.
