UNITED ACTION FOR DEMOCRACY CHALLENGES LAGOS STATE COMPOL OWOSENI TO DISCLOSE ALLEGED PROTEST HIJACKERS

By

United Action for Democracy (UAD) has challenged the Lagos State Commissioner of Police (CP), Fatai Owoseni, to disclose the identity of those he claimed were planning to hijack the February 6 nationwide protest to perpetrate evil.
Mr. Owoseni had earlier claimed that he received information that hoodlums were planning to hijack the protest in order to create lawlessness and disorder. However, in a press release, the apparently skeptical UAD urged Mr. Owoseni to reveal the so-called hijackers.
"We want CP Fatai Owoseni to publish the names of 'hoodlums' that are planning to hijack the protests. Otherwise, the public should note that the said hoodlums are going to be sponsored by the police and the state agents themselves," said the UAD, a civil society group.
The group condemned critics of the planned nationwide protest, especially the Nigeria Police, adding that the police have no right to stop any protest.
Stated the UAD: "We have been monitoring the harsh response of especially the Nigeria Police that the February 6th nationwide protests led by Enough is Enough (EiE) and the 2face Foundation will be stopped, and we want to say that we understand the intention therein. The Nigerian police [are] hell bent [on] killing all voices of dissent and demonizing all truthful and genuine disagreements [with] the government's anti-poor policies."
The group warned that the "the Nigerian Police Force has no right whatsoever to stop the peaceful assembly of any group or people. Do the police prefer violent protests to this planned peaceful one? The right to protest is a fundamental human right!"
UAD also counseled the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to act like law-abiding citizens and to refrain from assaulting or shooting at peaceful protesters. "We, therefore, want to tell Fatai Owoseni and others in the Nigeria Police to get civilized and stop using lethal weapons in protests. No live ammunition should be used by the police. And they must conduct themselves in the most serene manner as it's done in saner climes," said UAD.

For more than five decades, the black-and-white image of Irene Garza has haunted the town of McAllen, Tex., her story painfully recounted again and again. She was a 25-year-old dark-haired former beauty queen, her high school's first Latina drum majorette, the first in her family to graduate from college. She was named Miss All South Texas Sweetheart, and worked as a teacher for disadvantaged children.   But at the center of Garza's life was her Catholic faith. In a letter to a friend in April 1960, she wrote about how she was no longer afraid of death. "You see, I've been going to communion and Mass daily and you can't imagine the courage and faith and happiness it has given me," she wrote in the letter, according to Texas Monthly.   And so when Holy Week came, the most sacred time of year for Catholics, Garza decided to go to confession. On the eve of Easter, she drove to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in McAllen.   She never came h...

THE INVINCIBLE WOUNDS OF SYRIA'S CHILDREN

By
March 14th,2017 The physical devastation left by the Syrian war is tangible. But a less visible, more insidious damage is hurting the country's most vulnerable. Save the Children's 'Invisible Wounds' report found that Syria's children are suffering from a condition called 'toxic stress' , due to living in an almost constant state of fear and terror. In order to visualize the invisible, the NGO commissioned photographer Nick Ballon and conceptual artist Alma Haser to create a series of animated portraits and short videos. Ballon's thoughtful photos combined with Haser's paper manipulation techniques – folding, crumpling, ripping and origami – attempt to show the intense psychological pain these children suffer. Ballon shot the portraits of the refugee children near the Turkish-Syrian border. He got to know them at their orphanage, in a place where they felt comfortable, but shot the portraits on the streets. "The lighting was the key element,...
