NEWS - Herdsmen are defiling our wives, children, Anambra communities lament

No fewer than 15 communities in Orumba-South Local Government of Anambra State on Tuesday raised the alarm over the menace of herdsmen in their area.

They alleged that herdsmen were defiling their wives and children.

The spokesperson for the communities, Mr Chukwudi Ugochukwu, stated this at Orumba-South Local Government Council secretariat in Umunze during a stakeholders’ meeting of the people of the area.

He added that the herdsmen allowed their cows to graze on farms, thereby destroying people’s livelihoods.

Ugochukwu said some women and girls had been defiled on their way to their farms.

He said no fewer than 20 of such cases had being recorded, adding that he would not go beyond for fear of stigmatising the victims.

He said, “We live along the boundary with Imo State by Arondizuogu. All the farmlands there have been devastated by the herdsmen. Some of our women have been defiled on the farmlands but they refused to talk so that they will not be stigmatised. The entire Umunze is under threat.”

NEWS - Pro, anti-Buhari protesters jam in Abuja

Two opposing groups on Monday demonstrated in Abuja about governance in Nigeria. While one group expressed support for the actions of the Federal Government in the areas of security and anti-corruption campaign, 
the other demanded improved quality of life for Nigerians.


The pro-government group came under the banner “#I stand with Buhari.” Some of the group’s placards read,  “I stand with Buhari”; “We are happy with your policies, especially the anti graft war”, “Nigerians are fully with you”, “We believe in President Muhammadu Buhari making Nigeria great again,” among others. Mr Amos Adaka, one of the conveners of the pro-government gathering, commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his laudable achievements since assuming office. Adaka said the president had recorded huge milestones in the area of security and anti-corruption and also  doing so much to ensure that the country was on sound footing. He  added that the president could not have reversed what past administrations destroyed within two years of his administration and asked Nigerians to give government more time to correct the anomalies. 

The other group, “#I stand with Nigeria” carried  placards that read “We demand the change you promise,” “Where are the recovered monies?’ “Exchange rate madness,” “Emiefele must go,” among others. The anti-government group, led by Mr Ezenwa Nwagwu, said Nigerians should have better deal under Buhari and should be treated fairly. Nwagwu said “Nigerians would no longer fold their arms and watch government.” He added that the era of waiting for Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and other civil society groups to fight for the citizenry was over, and urged Nigerians to come out and demand for their rights. He said “our government needs to hear directly from us those things we say in our offices, markets, schools, Churches, Mosques and cabs about how bad things are, not through NLC or TUC.” While the protests lasted at the Unity Fountain in Abuja, the police monitored the situation.

NEWS - Gov. Obiano welcomes “exercise python dance” to Anambra, solicits co-operation for army

Gov. Willy Obiano of Anambra on Tuesday welcomed the launch of the “Exercise Python Dance” by the Nigerian Army in the state and urged the people to cooperate with army in sustaining the relative peace in Anambra. 


“They are not Army of occupation as being labelled by some people, especially on the online media.

“Nobody will be molested,” Obiano told the people but warned criminal elements to steer clear of the state as the exercise would not be friendly to them.

He recalled that when he took over the mantle of leadership of the state, there was insecurity, making many indigenes to stay away from the state. 

The governor, however, noted that the trend had been reversed with the task force he had set up to deal with the situation, adding that incidents of kidnapping and other forms of criminality had been checked in the state. 

In a remark at the launch, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, said the exercise was a training programme like others launched in other parts of the country. 

Buratai stressed that the exercise was part of the Army’s constitutional responsibility to aid civil authority in maintaining internal security. He warned that those who would want to disrupt the peace of the state would have themselves to blame.
