No land for cattle colony in Rivers —Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said that he will defend the interest of the state at all times, emphasising that he will not allow the state to be controlled by external forces.

Governor Wike also declared that the state has no land to give out for the creation of cattle colony.

Speaking at Government House, Port Harcourt, yesterday, when he granted audience to D-Source Connect Group, Governor Wike urged Rivers people to always focus on the development of the state.

He said: “We will not allow our state to be controlled by external forces. We will not be drawn into debates on cattle colony. We don’t have land for any cattle colony in Rivers State.” The governor advised Rivers people to mobilise for the 2019 general elections, vote and defend their votes. “Our people should continue to mobilise for the 2019 elections because it will not be business as usual where people think that they will use security to rig. That will not happen,” he said.

He said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has done nothing in Rivers State to merit any vote, adding that the party has destroyed the country. Wike commended D-Source Connect Group for their commitment to the development of New Rivers. He assured that his administration will always accommodate youths in the development process.

The governor added that members of the group will be considered for appointments. Earlier, Coordinator of D-Source Connect Group, Mr Dike Vincent Amadi reiterated the endorsement of the Rivers State Governor by the group for a second term. He commended the Rivers State Governor for the prudent management of resources which has led to an explosion of projects across the state.

CITIZENS’ RIGHT AND POLICE INJUSTICE IN NIGERIA

By: Ebo Emmanuel Police Injustice mostly used to refer to various human rights violations by police which might include beatings, racial abuse, unlawful killings, torture, or indiscriminate use of riot control agents at protests. At its worst, unlawful use of force by police can result in people being deprived of their right to life. If police force is unnecessary or excessive, it may also amount to torture or other ill-treatment. Unlawful force by police can also violate the right to be free from discrimination, the right to liberty and security, and the right to equal protection under the law. In countries with high rates of killings by police, there is often a combination of factors including inadequate laws, racial or other forms of discrimination, insecurity or conflict, and entrenched impunity. Governments who routinely trample on other human rights like freedom of expression and peaceful assembly often a...

The FUOYESU stakeholders meeting, held today, ended in abrupt chaos as a result of issues relating to the student Union caretaker committee delegation. Comrade Awe, a member of the SRC, representing the department of demography and social statistics starred up the argument, which hit the wrong cord in the acclaimed faculty Presidents, who also happens to be members of the SUG caretaker committee. He laid claim that a larger number of the current SUG caretaker committee members are Presidents of various faculties in the school, hence, becoming unconstitutional for them to hold two different executive portfolios at the same time, or better still, resign from the former post and handover immediately to their vice Presidents, if they should continue with the current appointment. The faculty Presidents therefore discredited the claim, owing to the fact that their current appointment was through delegation, and not through electoral activities. They also said that none of them begge...
