We need this crowd, this enthusiasm, this one voice even beyond #EndSARS to change our nation, to rewrite our history.
To put to an end to every form of bad governance and leadership that has pervaded our society for too long.
With this same energy, enthusiasm

#Chody and #Nassour face an additional charge of conspiracy to tamper with evidence, according to indictments obtained Tuesday.They already were charged with evidence tampering, which both have denied.#JavierAmbler
The indictment alleges that they entered into an access agreement with the production company for "Live PD" “to destroy raw unaired audio and video footage” and that they “performed an overt act” the night of Ambler’s death.
This morning, a Nigerian Police officer stabbed a young man, Wale a.k.a “Eleyele”, a tricycle rider, to death with a dagger.
Reason: Wale refused to be extorted of 50 Naira as it was the usual practice of the police officers around Ile Iwe - Command, Meiran, Lagos.

The #Endsars saga is a perfect example where the Nigerian police killed the people that they were supposed to protect simply because we were fighting a just course.

Do you think they'll be able to fight for you? , provide for you? give you the necessary and basic amenities that are needed to make life pleasant for you? I am guessing you just said ‘NO’ to all these questions.
1. There are no angels & saints in leadership in Nigeria. Only lesser devils. There are no coincidences. Everything’s been prearranged. All you see around you in 9ja, is designed. Events of 20.10.2020 is no different.

2. From the ‘Asaba Massacre’ & the ‘Biafra Genocide’ by Gowon’s forces, to the killing of the Shiites in Zaria, down to the most insane, violent & chaotic suppression of the #EndSARS protests. Nigeria is a huge crime scene, the political & tribal mafia reign supreme.
3. You just have to manage your expectations. It’s easy to commit Genocides in Africa & go scot-free. Value for life in Africa, especially in mother country Nigeria, is ZERO!!

Ayon sa kanyang kaanak, bibili lamang sana ng tubig si Darren ng mahuli ng mga kapulisan. Kahit na wala namang nakasaad na kahit anong parusang ipapataw sa mga nahuli, pinag-pumping ang biktima ng tatlong daang beses. (2/7)
Inumaga na nang uwi biktima, at napansin siyang hindi na makalakad ng maayos. Kinombulsyon siya sa sarili nilang bahay, at nahimatay. Hanggang binawian siya ng buhay bandang alas-10 ng gabi. (3/7)

1. Peace is expensive, but you don’t negotiate with Shekau nor bandits. America understands this. Does Nigeria?
Each time you open negotiations with criminals, you invite trouble, I mean big trouble. Sheikh Gumi is playing with fire. Any nation that buys peace is indebted to war

2. You cannot rule out ethnoreligious & political dimensions to this war. But the insecurity in Nigeria is largely fueled by corruption.

These kidnappers & bandits are well known by the police authorities. In some cases, they are protected.

If you were at Lekki on 201020 whether you are PDP,YDP,APC, LGBTQ,Cultist,Digital Hoodlum or a Useful Idiot and you know someone that was ‘masakad’by soldiers ,pls come forward with evidence to help the Judicial Panel to reach the family. A Committee of Patriots have also raised
N1m to reward you with N50,000 for every evidence that is proven to be correct. Don’t listen to @ObyEzeks @akinalabi they all have bottled up anger, don’t mind @UtomiPat it is politics.Fake tears and bloodied flag is not massacre,they lied to you about UN taking over Nigeria abi?
they promised you a revolution that will remove Buhari,they also told you about a Youth Party,they are all PDP operatives they DISGUISED☹️and scammed you. Majority of Nigerians support #endpolicebrutality and #endbadgovernance but you can’t burn Nigeria to get it. Ko le Werk.
THINGS WE COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY
Its time to stop making it look like #EndSARS is primarily responsible for the current spate of robbery all around us. The protest is well intentioned, but robbers now gun down bullion van in daylight. This turn of events may consume us all.

Its unlikely there's any living Nigerian who havent received a dose of @PoliceNG madness. But now that we are becoming estranged with many people we share banter with, over a cause that's meant to end police high-handedness; this should make us take a step back in introspection.
That somebody added Rev. Sam Adeyemi's name to a criminal complaint filed in Abuja is like an acute madness to me. The complainant also told the court, rightly so, his investments were burnt. At this point, the people we should dread most are the conspiracy theorists amongst us.

Defendants said they were arrested b/w 20-24th Oct by the @HQNigerianArmy and detained at Bonny camp for 4 days without food, water or medical care or access to family and lawyers. Many were arrested outside their homes or after curfew.

The unfortunate hijack by hoodlums who escalated ordinarily peaceful protests organised by law-abiding Ogun State youths led to tragic loss of lives and damage of public property today.
Some of these include the razing of Atan-Ota Police Station, death of the Divisional Crime Officer and one other victim; serious injuries to the Division Police Officer; and supremacy battles between miscreant loyalties in other locations.
My heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of every soul lost in this fracas.

“Good morning Honourable colleagues, thank you for being here this morning.
About two weeks ago, I spoke to this honourable House about the need for urgent, substantive, and wholesale reforms of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and an overhaul of our nation’s internal security and policing framework.
This honourable House debated the failures of policing that have caused our nation’s youth to take to the streets in their numbers, demanding that Government live up to our primary obligation to ensure the security and welfare of our people.
So many tales of woe from those who have suffered terrible experiences from the hands of SARS and rather than the government to act, they have chosen to suppress what has been due for years.
People are being paid to scatter protests, “supposed” prisoners escaping...

Juliana Ebere’s @julianafrancis story, ‘Extrajudicial killings: story of SARS and robbery suspects’, published February 24, March 3, and March 10, 2014 in The New Telegraph Newspaper which was partly narrated earlier, also won an award that year. bit.ly/2IDRwhY

In line with my earlier announcement, we have today inaugurated the State Judicial Panel of Investigation led by Hon. Justice Solomon Olugbemi (rtd), according to the resolutions of the the National Economic Council, NEC meeting of 15th October.
The setting up of this Panel, as well as a support fund, committee, office, forensic lab, and online complaints portal, is a demonstration of our Administration's commitment to true democracy and fundamental human rights.
The terms of reference of the Panel, which will conclude its assignment within six (6) months, are:
I have received with serious concern, news of the developments in the protests in the Sango axis of Ogun State over the poor condition of the Federal Roads in the vital area: Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta Expressway, Ota-Idiroko, and Sango-Oju Ore roads.
This is understandable, and no security agency will intimidate or stop any protester from making their needs known.
However, while we have already initiated palliative works on Ota-Idiroko Road; the same thing will commence on the Ota area of Lagos-Sango-Abeokuta Expressway where more, needed materials and equipment will soon be delivered; and full reconstruction of the Sango-Joju Road is...
