The Police authorities have replaced Adeleye Oyebade with Anthony Ogbizi as the new Commissioner of Police in Abia state, Southeast Nigeria.

Details of Adeleye's removal is sketchy but it might be connected to the recent clashes between members of the Indigenous People of Biafra and the Nigerian Army.

However, Adeleye has handed over to the newly appointed Commissioner, urging the men and officers of the command to give his successor their maximum support and cooperation.

Meanwhile, Ogbizi has immediately assumed duty after a brief handover ceremony at the state police headquarters in Umuahia, with a call on residents to embark on profitable ventures and ensure peace in the state.

The new Commissioner condemned the razing of Ariaria Police Station in Aba and expressed his resolve to work hard to make Abia safe for all.

Ogbizi warned against clamour for disintegration of the country, saying there would never be "a republic within a republic".

Police Man Kills 'Yahoo Boy' After Pocketing Parts of N8 Million Bounty A policeman has allegedly killed one Bashiru Ayedun for protesting against the arrest of his colleague who successfully duped an unsuspecting client of N8million in the ancient city of Ile-Ife, Osun State. During the weekend, Ayedun was said to have joined other friends to celebrate with the alleged scammer who raked in the N8million before policemen stormed the scene to arrest him. However, the deceased met his death while leading others in a protest against the arrest. An eyewitness, who gave the account of the mayhem under anonymity, said that the youths protested because the police took part of the loots and still went ahead to arrest the internet fraudster.

THIS VERY DAY IN HISTORY

TODAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY 1776 Congress renames the nation "United States of America" On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress formally declares the name of the new nation to be the "United States" of America. This replaced the term "United Colonies," which had been in general use. In the Congressional declaration dated September 9, 1776, the delegates wrote, "That in all continental commissions, and other instruments, where, heretofore, the words 'United Colonies' have been used, the stile be altered for the future to the "United States." A resolution by Richard Henry Lee, which had been presented to Congress on June 7 and approved on July 2, 1776, issued the resolve, "That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States…." As a result, John Adams thought July 2 would be celebrated as "the most memorable epoch in the history of America." Instead, the day has been largely forg...
