Man beheaded in ondo
The Nigeria Police Force, Ondo State
Command has said it has begun an
investigation to unravel the misery behind
the killing of a man who was beheaded at
Famese community in Akure, the Ondo State
Capital.
The lifeless body of the man whose identity
is yet unknown was found at early hours of
Wednesday beside a mountain where some
people pray and worship.
The community has since been thrown into a
state of shock and disbelief when it
discovered the headless body of the
deceased .
LEADERSHIP Friday’s investigation revealed
that some worshippers who went to pray at
the mountain on Wednesday morning found
the headless body of the man at the base of
the mountain.
According to the source, this prevented the
worshippers from holding their usual morning
prayer sessions as they quickly went to
Ijapo, Akure police station to report the
matter to the police.
It was also gathered that the police allegedly
detained those who went to report before
sending a team of policemen to the area to
evacuate the deceased.
The source explained further that, “ After the
matter had been reported at the Ijapo Police
Station, the policemen had combed the entire
area, arresting residents indiscriminately.
Those that went to report at the police station
were detained by the police. The police said
the arrest of the people was part of their
investigation but we don’t know how the
corpse got there.”
“Another source told our correspondent that
the victim must have been killed somewhere
far from the area while the killer dumped his
headless body in that area just to cause
confusion .
The residents also alleged that the policemen
left the community where the incident
happened and went to the nearby
communities to arrest many people.
They further disclosed that as a result of this,
many residents of the area had fled for fear
of arrest .
Speaking through the Public Relations Officer
of the command, Mr Femi Joseph, who
confirmed the incident, denied the allegation
of any arrest.
According to him, “ The police did not arrest
anybody, when we got information about the
incident, we sent our men there to evacuate
the body.” ,

Buhari Has Declared War on Ijaw Nation and Associates Of Goodluck Jonathan – DIYA
President of the Delta Ijaw Youth Assembly,
DIYA, Ebimobowei Oguma has alleged
that President Muhammadu Buhari has
declared war on the kinsmen and associates
of the immediate past President, Goodluck
Jonathan.
In a statement released by Delta
Ijaw Youth Assembly through Ebimobowei
Oguma , the group alleged that impunity and
disregard for the rule of law have been on
the high side since the coming on board of
the current administration.
The group condemned the recent arrest of
Patrick Akpobolokemi, former director-
general of the Nigerian Maritime
Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA,
by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, charged Nigerians to
“stand for their rights”.
In the statement, The group said “President
Buhari seems to have declared war on all
friends and associates of former President
Jonathan, particularly his Ijaw kinsmen,
outside the rule of law.”
“We have never been conquered and we
won’t to surrender to nobody, at least not
our generation”.
“President Muhamadu Buhari seems to have
handed over the proper running of Nigeria to
his kinsman, Musa Lawal Daura, director-
general of the DSS. What Daura has
succeeded in doing is to infuse a culture of
lawlessness on all law enforcement
agencies”.
“Monday’s manhandling and dehumanisation
of Mr Patrick Akpobolokemi did not come as
a surprise to us. The whole world saw how a
law abiding citizen was ambushed in the
temple of justice, beaten and driven off like a
terrorist”.
“The facts of the matter are a direct slap on
justice. The EFCC had filed 52 count charges
in two separate cases against Mr
Akpobolokemi before two judges of the
federal high court Lagos. Both judges
granted bail with difficult conditions”.
“Mr Akpolobokemi struggled to meet them.
The EFCC’s grouse seems to be with the
bails. But because it’s standing on very
flimsy grounds, it’s resorting to such brutal
self help measures. We learnt this morning
how one Mr Oyedipo Rotimi, a lawyer and
EFCC operative repeatedly slapped Mr
Akpobolokemi, reminding him that he is
Rotimi ‘the law’. I know the crooked
maritime interests that are goading Rotimi”.
“At the appropriate time, we shall expose
them. But suffice it to say that these were
some of the thieves that the last
management of NIMASA under
Akpobolokemi put out of business”.
“I implore President Buhari to run the affairs
of this country with the fear of God. The final
vote tally was hardly in when then President
Goodluck Jonathan made the historic
concessional phone call. To then proceed to
want to run a country as a conquered
territory beats me”.
“But it must be safely moored to the rule of
law and must be blind to ethnic groupings
and party affiliations as currently being
pursued by the current government under
President Buhari. No Nigerian deserves the
tyranny of government”.
“Any government that cannot engage with
the people of the Niger Delta but picks on
the flotsam of our society, as the APC
government did in the Bayelsa gubernatorial
contest or as they are shamelessly
recruiting in Delta state needs a proper audit
of his moral compass.”
