Members of pro-democracy groups, Concerned Nigerians and OurMumuDonDo Movement, on Saturday, visited the family of Somtochukwu Ibeanusi, the 10-year old boy shot dead by security agents during the forceful eviction of traders from the demolition scene of Ekwe Uku Market, Owerri. The eviction and demotion were ordered by Mr. Rochas Okorocha, the governor of Imo State.

In a statement issued after the visit, members of the two groups said Somtochukwu's killing is a symptom of how the country's political leaders use state apparatus and resources to oppress the poor, relieve them of their belongings and kill them when they resist.

The statement was jointly signed by Messrs. Charles Oputa, Convener, OurMumuDonDo Movement; Deji Adeyanju, Convener, Concerned Nigerians; Adebayo Raphael, Publicity Secretary, OurMumuDonDo Movement; and Professor  Chidi Odinkalu, former Chairman, National Human Rights Commission.

"The murder of this 10-year-old child, the future and hope of his family, and indeed this nation, is unacceptable. This state of affairs where the Nigerian political elite murder Nigerians cannot be allowed to continue. We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to live up to his oath to secure the lives of Nigerians by ordering an investigation of the circumstances of this little child's death," the groups said in the statement.

They added that President Buhari, being Commander-in-Chief, has full responsibility to ensure that the country's security agencies are not used to oppress the people. They called on Nigerians to pray for and support the Ibeanusi family that has not lost a child and their means of livelihood, which was forcefully taken away by the government.

SHERIFF IS A CONTRACTOR BROUGHT INTO PDP DURING OUR TRYING TIME 29th Feb 2017, February 27 2017 Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, has described Ali Modu Sheriff as a contractor invited to help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during its low point. He said Sheriff’s contract had long expired and that he has nothing to contribute to the opposition party’s development. Ihedioha told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Monday that Sheriff by his conduct had failed to show an attitude worthy of uniting and strengthening the party. According to him, the conduct, actions, language and temperament displayed by Sheriff has succeeded in planting disunity amongst members. “His utterances after the Appeal Court judgment in Port Harcourt created division in the party rather than unit members, this showed that he is not interested in the progress of our party,” he said. “Sheriff has nothi...

A herdsman carrying a gun Herdsmen armed with guns killed 20 farmers and injured eight other people in a mosque in Niger state over the weekend, police said on Monday. Fighting over land use between semi-nomadic cattle herders and more settled communities, claims hundreds of lives yearly in the middle belt and in northern Nigeria. Last year, the government said preventing attacks was a security priority. Bala Elkana, a spokesman for Niger state police, said the attack happened at about 05:00 a.m. (0400 GMT) on Saturday at Epogi community, in the Mokwa area of the state. “It was a clash between farmers and herders which had been initially handled but some herders felt unsatisfied and … they launched a reprisal attack on some villagers praying in a mosque,” Elkana said. Three people had been arrested, he said. Nigeria’s poor transport and communications infrastructure can slow the speed at which reports of events in some rural communities are passed on.
