The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, and the All Progressives Congress have faulted the claim by the spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, that his party is leading in 23 states out of the 36 states in the country in Saturday’s presidential election.

While Jega said he was miffed by the comment and does not know the source, the APC said it was a way of laying the ground for the rigging of the election by the PDP.

Jega also described the comment as that by someone partisan.

Jega said during a press conference on Sunday: ”I don’t know the sources of such information.

The results have not been collated in 23 states.

“Fairly very few states have actually collated.

“In fact, only two states have been collated.

4 Ways To Identify Fake Policemen

0 Comment Crime Watch news Nigeria

SAFETY TIPS ON HOW TO IDENTIFY FAKE POLICEMEN
AT A GLANCE.
In the time we live in; we must learn to deal with it.
1. Number tag of a real policeman must be six digits,
less than six, is fake.

2. Only female police officers have their numbers
begin with "0", any policeman with number beginning
with "0" is fake.

3. Every policeman's name tag is woven to the shirt,
no more removable name tags.

4.A distinction between the normal policeman and
the SPY (supernumerary) police personnel, is that a
SPY number must be either three or four digits with
the word "SPY" boldly inscribed on their uniform
shoulder. Please, at night be vigilant, always roll-up
your windows in traffic,central lock your doors, be
double sure they are true policemen, if they are not,
be strong and speed off. Never get frightened. Be
watchful, they are everywhere; educate your family
members,neighbors, and friends. GOD Almighty will
continue to protect us.

If Buhari Wins, APC Will Jail Me – Patience Jonathan

While speaking On Wednesday March 25th at the PDP women presidential campaign rally in Oyo state, the first lady Patience Jonathan is quoted by Thecable.ng to have said that the APC and its presidential candidate plan to jail many people, including herself if they win the 2015 election.

“I want to tell you the people of Oyo state, you don’t need to listen to APC. APC is a spare drug; they don’t have material to quantify PDP material.

You should know that they have been in government before; they were there before PDP, before Goodluck administration.

If they come to Oyo, ask them, what do they have for you, not ‘I will, I will’. You were there; when you were there, what did you do for the people of Oyo state? “All what they did for you people when they were there was to send your fathers and your children to prison.

That’s all what they have for you people, and I want you to remember. Some of you were still small by then when your fathers were sent to prison by this very APC people. Some of them died in the prison; you know them.

You want me to call one of them that died in the prison – don’t you know Adelabu? Haven’t you heard that name before in Oyo? He was the leader of NPN then. He was imprisoned by this APC, by this very people that want to enter there and he died there.

They are coming again to jail your fathers and your mothers and even me, but God would never allow them – Holy Ghost fire, Holy Ghost fire, Holy Ghost fire.

They would never succeed, because they have nothing to offer. Their own is ‘I will, I will’; that’s all what they have to offer.

“PDP has come to liberate the people. After this one, when they fail, they won’t have any name to bear again. The last time they failed, they changed their name to APC – not knowing APC is a spare drug

“She confronted Terkula who denied taking the money, but as she was leaving for church, she allegedly warned the boy that if the money was not found, she would be forced to return him back to his parents in the village.

“Unfortunately, when she got back from church later in the day, she got into the house and discovered that the boy was nowhere to be found. But after a search, the lifeless body of the boy was seen hanging on a tree at the back of the house.

“It was at that point that she raised alarm that attracted neighbours who gathered at the scene to rescue the boy who was already dead.”

Confirming the incident the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, ASP Austin Ezeani disclosed that the incident was reported on Sunday at the ‘B Division’ police station in the State.

Ezeani further stated that officers attached to the Division were despatched to the scene where the body was recovered and deposited at the Makurdi Federal Medical Centre.
