INSECURITY: IGP ACQUIRES, DEPLOYS 3 ASISGUARD SONGAR ARMED DRONES TO STRATEGIC LOCATIONS, ORDERS TOTAL CLAMP DOWN ON NON STATE ACTORS, CRIMINALS ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

000000222222161771213764749302 The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba psc(+), NPM, NEAPS, FDC, CFR, has acquired three (3) high-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for improved armed surveillance operations to checkmate criminal activities in the country as a further manifestation of the IGP's determination to integrate the use of innovative technology in the law enforcement duties of the Nigeria Police Force.
The newly acquired drones will surely assist the Police in monitoring active crime scenes, coordinating response operations, and providing armed aerial support to officers on reconnaissance operations.
The 3 newly acquired UAVs are rotary-wing aircraft capable of flying up to an altitude of 1000ft with high operational endurance and the capacity of firing at acquired threats and targets from reasonable distances. The Nigeria Police Airwing has equally concluded training for the operators of the drones in partnership with foreign experts who have been consulted for training and maintenance of the drones.
The IGP has directed the immediate, and strategic deployment of these drones based on necessity while noting that three (3) more UAVs of the same specifications are still expected in the shortest possible time.
The IGP while reiterating the constant deployment and judicious use of the drones, ordered a total clamp down on non-state actors and criminals in Nigeria, and similarly warned criminal elements across the country to steer clear and turn a new leaf else the environment would not conducive to them, and they may meet their waterloo soonest.
The Inspector-General of Police has further re-emphasized the firm determination of his administration to continue to explore the use of technology in the fight against crime and criminality while seeking full cooperation from members of the public on intelligence gathering and vigilance.

INSECURITY: LAGOS SPEAKER ADVOCATES TRUE FEDERALISM, SUGGESTS STATE, COMMUNITY POLICING SYSTEMS ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

3993i3j3j3n3nnnnn6481973497867935221 The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Dr) Mudashiru Obasa, has described Nigeria as a country that desires true federalism as part of the solutions to the nation's security crisis.
Dr. Obasa stated this on Wednesday at the 2022 National Congress and Scientific Conference of the Nigerian Psychological Association held at the Lagos State University.
The Speaker, who was awarded Honourary Fellow of the academic body, lamented that insecurity had continued despite the federal government's deployment of financial and other resources to its fight.
He also urged the federal government muster the political will to implement the recommendations of different panels and committees that have investigated immediate and remote causes of insecurity in the country.
Represented by Hon. Victor Akande, chairman of the House Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, Public Petitions and LASIEC, Obasa further advocated for sincere national mediation, negotiation, arbitration, reconciliation, and broad amnesty as modern conflict resolution strategies where necessary.
Speaking on the topic, 'Security and National Sustainability', Obasa described Lagos as one of the safest states in the country owing to the proactive efforts of all the tiers of government in the state.
"Here in Lagos State, we've taken preventive steps to ensure that law and order do not collapse for no good reason. We established the Neighbourhood Safety Corps because we are aware of the critical need for quick response from local security officers at the grassroots level.
"The state government's efforts, led by the Neighbourhood Safety Corps and aided by the other security officers on the ground, have made Lagos a secure place to live for everyone.
"There is, however, reason to believe that the federal government would support the same objective by establishing a state police force. Community preventative policing, as opposed to curative policing, is crucial for maintaining national security in light of the current state of affairs. Constant contact between the security agencies and community people is necessary to get the country out of its current situation.
"At the same time, all three tiers of government should work to significantly cut spending on administration, which includes things like defence and domestic security. As one might expect, this is crucial if we want to see progress in the real sectors of the economy," Obasa said.
The Speaker, while noting that military action and confrontational approach tend to increase violence rather than decrease tension, added: "to rehabilitate all militants who embrace reconciliation, however, we need to place a greater emphasis on the concepts of mediation, negotiation, arbitration, reconciliation, and broad amnesty as modern conflict resolution strategies.
"The principle of true federalism advocated by militants in the Niger Delta and other groups should be adopted because it guarantees genuine political autonomy and the right to control resources.
"In a similar vein, the federal government and other stakeholders in Nigeria's violent sociopolitical and ethnically based crisis need to muster the political will to carry out the recommendations of the numerous panels and committees set up to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the crisis."
He attributed insecurity to a number of factors including the country's inheritance of a faulty security structure and the failure of successive governments to effectively restructure the system.
Beyond impacting knowledge, the Speaker tasked tertiary institutions to be interested in the affairs of the nation as part of their contributions to the sustenance of national progress.
He commended the NPA and LASU for honouring him as he promised to continue to play roles for the advancement of Nigeria. Earlier in his address, Prof. Olukayode Afolabi, President of NPA, lamented the security situation of the country saying it now affects every facet of Nigeria's development and forcing investors away.
Among other suggestions, he said there was an urgent need to bring psychologists into the recruitment and development processes of security personnel.
On her part, Prof Adenike Boyo, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) of LASU who represented the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, expressed hope that the 5-day conference would add value to Nigeria's development.

“WHERE HAVE WE GOTTEN IT WRONG? WE HAVE SECURITY POLICIES IN PLACE”, HON BALOGUN DECRIES OWO CHURCH ATTACK! ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

3884geebn995369143653533351 An aspirant from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) gunning for Ikorodu constituency 1 at the Lagos State house of assembly, Hon Rotimi Balogun Olatunbosun has vilified the terror attack at the St. Francis Catholic church in owo-town of Ondo state.
The sad occurrence which coined the 5th of June 2022 as 'Black Sunday', took over news and social media in the latter part of the day sending shock waves across the nation and raising alarms about the level of insecurity present in the country.
Hon Balogun, also known as BRO condemned the senseless killings of innocent churchgoers, adding that leaders need to step their approach to proffer solutions to the challenge of insecurity once and for all.
The youth leader continued, "It is so sad to see how innocent people lost their lives in a place where they find solace with God to solve every of their life predicament".
"This one hits close to home because time after time we've seen that the attacks are crossing different boundaries. Where have we gotten it wrong when we have good security policies in place?".
Tilting toward a solution, Hon Balogun insisted that the Nation needs leaders that will ply extra harsh consequences against delinquents of this nature, adding that everyone must stand up tough against terrorism. "Sometimes you'll see reactions of some leaders in the face of a dastardly attack like this and you'd wonder if they are in support of such a barbaric and satanic crime against humanity".
"Our government must increase the charges against crimes like this to derail evil minds from it, and also as a people, we have to stand strong together because enough is enough. We must be more sensitive, security cautious and vigilant of our immediate surroundings" Hon Balogun surmised

393ok3kekemm2540913322324610780 The business stimulative nature of the 2nd edition of Ikorodu Trade Fair also known as IKODIV has spurred the Lagos State Governor, Mr Lagos State Babajide Sanwo-Olu to reaffirm his aim at providing a conducive environment and enabling business growth in the State.
A collaboration with the Lagos State Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, and the Lagos State University of Science and Technology, LASUSTECH, the Ikorodu Division Expo is organised by the Ikorodu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI).

Dr Adams eliminated that the challenges confronting the MSMEs varied and include access to low-interest loans, inadequate infrastructure, subsistence and manual production, mindset and lack of innovative ideas. He continued, "Relevant institutions must create access to low-interest funds for entrepreneurs to access while there is a need for MSMEs to scale up their production to meet local and export needs".
"I also want to advise the Government to create a three-year pre-retirement entrepreneurship/investment window to transform public servants into entrepreneurs", he stated.
In his brief address, the Vice-Chancellor, of Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Professor Olumuyiwa Odusanya averred that the Trade Fair is an opportunity to grow the economy of the Ikorodu Division.

TINUBU AT 71: ASIWAJU IS ALLAH’S CHOSEN, HE IS A SPECIAL BEING – SHEIKH YAHYA ASHAOLA ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

78657hjkoooiio2544337968922659084 Spiritual Leader, His Eminence, Sheikh Yahya Ashaola (As-Samadaani), Chief Imam of Oriwu Central Mosque of Ikorodu has referred to Nigeria's President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a special being chosen by Allah to lead the current generation.
In a sermon given to Muslim faithfuls on Wednesday, 29th of March 2023, marking the 71st birthday of Bola Tinubu, the chief Imam exhorted Nigerians to pray for the President-Elect, for Allah to bestow on him the ample disposition to oversee the nation.
The liturgy was delivered after a special prayer and Thanksgiving session were held in the mosque dedicating Tinubu's birthday.
Sheikh Ashaola, in his words, "Tinubu is the epitome of Intellectual capacity, a human resource developer and an economic stimulant, equipped for this time to rescue the shattered dreams of Nigerians".
Urging the Muslim communities to put him (Tinubu) in their devotions at all times, the chief Imam said he can see the special work of Allah in the life of the incoming president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Underscoring another reason for brethren to beseech for Tinubu, Sheikh Ashaola said winning the 2023 presidential election has hoisted Bola Tinubu into a stature that even some well-respected political figures didn't attain.
He explained, "The Late Obafemi Awolowo was considered the best President we never had. He was the head of the Yorubas, but he never permeated the North and East".
"Today, Asiwaju has accomplished that!".
"He's the most successful politician in Nigeria as we speak".
"Asiwaju also suffered for the Democracy we enjoy today, he was tortured and humiliated, but his sense of focus and divine direction kept him moving to where he is now" Sheikh Ashaola added
Crediting Tinubu's intellectual strength, Sheikh Ashaola asserted that the President-Elect is known to assemble the best brains to achieve sufficient results, narrating that he exemplified the same act during his first 6 months in office as Governor of Lagos State back in 1999.
Subsequently, lecturing attendees, Imam Ojifinni Abdul-Ganiu, the Mufasir of Ramadan 1444/23 in Ikorodu, illustrated that it takes an extraordinary leader to discard his birthday celebration to engage more in service to humanity.
Imam Ojifinni stated that the Yoruba population should emulate Bola Tinubu's life ethics, and ensure to give his incoming administration the peace it deserves.
"No Yoruba group or body should be brainwashed or influenced to cause havoc on Asiwaju's presidential tenure, because the truth is, his effective performance at Aso Rock will open more doors to Yoruba leaders in the future, given them opportunities to also become president".
"We must be careful not to allow people to use us to generate chaos and anarchy towards Asiwaju's tenure, it is the only way we can show him our profound support" Imam Ojifinni asserted
On the backdrop of his 71st birthday, President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu directed that special prayers and thanksgiving service be held on March 29, 2023, instead of his annual birthday colloquium.
The special prayers were also held in Lagos and other parts of the country, simultaneously.

TINUBU AT 71: IKORODU CENTRAL MOSQUE, OBUN-OKE HOLDS PRAYER & THANKSGIVING SESSION FOR NIGERIA’S PRESIDENT-ELECT ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

900877ikkk7752899711198401541 As President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu calls for Nigerians to engage spiritually in commemorating his 71st birthday, a special prayers session was held at Ikorodu Central Mosque, Obun-Oke, Ikorodu.
The unique prayers and thanksgiving service dated Wednesday, March 29, 2023, was organised as directed by the President-Elect, instead of his annual birthday colloquium.
Presided over by the Grand Chief Imam of Ikorodu division, Sheikh (Alhaji) Seifudeen Ayinla Ademoritan Olowo-Oribi, the devotion program drew Islamic clerics from the six districts consisting of Ikorodu division.
Chief Asipa Kaoli, Alhaji Waheed Animashaun, Hon. Lanre Balogun, Alhaji Decubano and other party leaders were in attendance.
Executive Chairman of Ikorodu Local Government, Hon. Wasiu Adesina, Bldr Olusesan Daini, Executive Chairman of Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA, Hon. Motunrayo Gbadebo-Alogba, Executive Chairman of Ijede LCDA and Bldr Adeola Adebisi Banjo, Executive Chairman of Ikorodu North LCDA also joined the sacred gathering as well.
Coinciding with the Ramadan season, Sheikh (Alhaji) Chief Imam Seifudeen Ayinla Ademoritan Olowo-Oribi, in his lecture urged the Muslim faithfuls to prioritise praying for the peace, unity and progress of Nigeria as the nation readies to embrace another duration of leadership.
Sheikh Olowo-Oribi further prayed to Almighty Allah to grant Bola Tinubu long life, good health and wisdom with which he would oversee the nation to a prestigious elevation as President.
Subsequently, the Grand Chief Imam and over a hundred rabi Imams who assembled in the mosque, read the full Quran to offer prayers for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking from his administration standpoint, Hon Wasiu Adesina, Executive Chairman of Ikorodu LG said Tinubu's electoral victory was the providence of God and that such prayer session is timely and ideal in reverence to Almighty God to further lead him right to steer the affairs of the country.
According to Adesina, for Asiwaju to put his birthday colloquium on hold for the third time to lift the nation into the hands of Almighty God shows the kind of leader he is.
"We must continue to pray for him for God to grant him the strength and capacity to take this country to a higher level" Adesina asserted.
This year will be the third in recent times the birthday colloquium will not hold in deference to developments in the country. In 2020, the 12th edition of the colloquium marking Asiwaju's 68th birthday was put off to empathize with those who lost their lives or were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
And in 2022, the birthday symposium was also called off by Asiwaju Tinubu right at the venue of the event when news emerged of the terror attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train in which several persons died and many others were abducted.
The Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos venue was already filled with dignitaries to celebrate the birthday when Asiwaju took to the podium to announce the cancellation of the event.
The former Governor of Lagos had said it would not be proper for him as a statesman to be celebrating when such a tragedy had befallen the nation.
This year, the president-elect said the date, which falls within the holy month of Ramadan, should be dedicated to prayers and seeking God's guidance for him and the country as he prepares to take the reins of leadership.
