About 20 minutes after Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, a.k.a Evans was arrested last Saturday, Ifeanyi Okoli, our crime reporter called me to break the good news. Few minutes later I spoke with crack police investigator ACP, Abba Kyari whose team did the great job. We were all elated. I congratulated him for a job well done and he too congratulated Vanguard Newspapers for the role we played. Force PRO, Moshood Jimoh was also to commend Vanguard during the week on Channels Television.

Introduction: I consider it an honour to be invited as the Guest Speaker at the 2017 edition of the Annual Lecture of the Faculty of Education of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) and to be conferred with the Faculty Award for Excellence for “my Exemplary Contributions to Nigerian Education”.

LAST week’s ultimatum given to Igbo people resident in the northern part of the country, by a coalition of Arewa groups to leave the region within three months, was received with shock in many segments of the country.

It has been a swath of revelations, since the House of Representatives’ adhoc committee on the alleged $17billion undeclared crude oil and gas revenue started the second phase of its investigative hearing to unravel how Nigeria’s crude oil was stolen along with revenues that were supposed to have accrued therefrom, between 2011 and 2014 – how the funds can be tracked and possibly returned.

FOR many months now, tongues have been wagging over the impunity with which suspected herdsmen from the northern part of the country attack, rape, rob and kill residents in the six states of the South-South with not a few pointing fingers at the top hierarchy of the police, which, from the Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, Zone 5, Benin City to the police, Commissioners of Police in the region, is dominated by northerners.
