THE land dispute between Abagana in Njikoka local government area of Anambra State and Ukpo in Dunukofia local government area, reached the climax last week when hundreds of youths,  suspected to be from Abagana, attacked  a police post located on the border between the two communities. The attack claimed the life of one of the security men guarding the large expand of land, while the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, for Dunukofia and three  other policemen sustained various degrees of injury. The area where the incident took place was like a war zone when Sunday Vanguard visited the place  as two patrol vans belonging to the police and five buildings under construction were destroyed with  explosives  suspected to be dynamites. Several dangerous weapons, including live ammunition, three AK47 rifles and  dynamite, were  said to have been recovered from suspects arrested in connection with the attack  by the police. It was gathered that two prominent indigenes  of  Aba

Oshiomhole spent 65% of capital budget in his village — Ize-Iyamu The flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for the September 10 elections in Edo, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has urged voters to reject the APC for the clannish and discriminatory actions of the outgoing government which he said is manifested in the rot in the infrastructure in the birthplace of the first civilian governor of the state, Prof. Ambrose Alli.

Kate Audu What is Obaseki Scared of?? - Kate Audu It is quite very disheartening! What exactly is Obaseki scared of? He said the first debate was organized by POI associates and he was not properly or duly informed about it. So very funny but I queried: why then did he send Osakwe to represent him at the debate? This time around, he has no genuine excuse for not showing up. Thank God that even EBS that is known as Oshiomole and APC station covered the debate of yesterday.  As a prepared aspirant and now candidate, I don't expect Obaseki to be afraid of debate even if it is organized by PDP or APGA so long the security of the place is guaranteed! It is now very evident that Obaseki is not only a puppet of Oshiomole but also a very dull and fake man! The man is hiding a lot of things from the public. His ways are not pure and I am very sure that Obaseki is not who or what he claims and painted himself to be.  On the other hand, POI has challenged Obaseki and his h

 Engr Ibinabo Reg Miller Love Letter To Buhari - Ibinabo Reg Miller Dear Buhari,  I hope this meets you well. I heard with my 3rd ear and read with my eyes without the glasses that you are going to probe the Emir of Kano State in the person of Sanusi S. and Charles Soludo, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Kindly expedite action in this. Treat this with dispatch. It doesn't matter the campaign of calumny and lies they peddled against Goodluck Jonathan that brought you to power. Buhari, please hurry up and probe Sanusi to account for the missing $42billion. I am going to love you with the whole of my life if only you can do this. Though you are not my spec, you are classless and not intelligent or smart in all your career/professional life but good at stealing by tricks in the guise of fighting corruption. Despite quietly silencing all dissenting voices, your preference of nama nama to human lives, using Niger Delta oil money to develop the No

- Hon Daniel Asekhame APC, a Government that Breaks Its Own Laws - Hon Asekhame Without consideration to the law makers the APC led Edo state government has continuously broken all its laws and regulations in desperation to install Godwin Obaseki into power. Do imagine the flood of posters littering Edo state, especially the capital Benin city like graffiti. Posters worth over N 300,000,000.00 (Three Hundred Million Naira) tax payers money. Even the roads and walls of all public buildings have been defaced by these campaign posters. The most blatant of these is at the Edo state Museum at the Kings Square (Ring Road), There you have an original warning sign placed on the wall surrounding the museum in the center of the square by the government banning any sort of posters or bills on the walls, for fear or reducing the aesthetic pleasantry of the square. All around this warning notice are banners placed there by same government covering the whole walls surrounding th

By Olusegun Adeniyi When Judiciary Goes on Trial As the story goes, a lavish society wedding had just taken place and after all the legal and social rites, the couple retired to their house. At night time, as the man joined his wife on bed and attempted to consummate the relationship, the wife withdrew from under the pillow, a court paper, an injunction perpetually restraining the husband from claiming “his entitlements”. Well, what actually made the story believable is that the said injunction, according to the man who told me, was obtained at an Abuja Court! Whether we want to admit it or not, the judiciary is becoming a source of concern especially as we move to the crucial 2003 general elections. The situation is so bad that some politicians now find it far cheaper to use the courts to scuttle events than to procure the services of thugs. Spurious court injunctions now surface at important public functions such that nobody is certain that the naming ceremony of his

The chairmen were instructed to bring along 30 boys each to the government house for the purported meeting. Mr James Osadiaye, one of the community leaders, reliably informed UR that the meeting which ought to have commenced by 8.00am with Godwin Obaseki in attendance started some minutes past 10.00am, which many of the people frowned at. A community leader who attended, Mr. Osaro Amadasun said that he wasn’t surprised after the Governor Adams Oshiomhole disbursed N7 Million to them as it confirmed what he had heard about the governor’s penchant to be financially reckless. Some Protocol officers at the government house demanded for a bribe of N500,000 from the

Lagos maintained its position at the lowest rungs of the Global Liveability index by ranking the third worst city to live in the world, according to the 2016 ranking by the Economist Intelligence Unit released thursday. Lagos placed 138th out of the 140 cities ranked in the latest liveability survey, just above war-ravaged Tripoli and Damascus. “Of the poorer-scoring cities, 13 continue to occupy the very bottom tier of liveability, where ratings fall below 50 per cent and most aspects of living are severely restricted,” the report stated. “Continued threats from groups like Boko Haram acts as a constraint to improving stability in Lagos.” Escalations in hostilities in Libya prompted a sharp decline in liveability in Tripoli, according to the report, while Damascus, although seeing a stabilisation in its decline remained rooted to the bottom. The top five best countries to live in, according to the report, remained unchanged from last year. They are Melbo

Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Thursday came down heavily on Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court Abuja over his ruling on June 27, 2016, removing the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, averring that his judgment was biased and turned the law on its head. In a unanimous judgment, which lasted for six hours, the five justices of the court held that Justice Abang went beyond his remit as a judge, was biased and turned the law upside down. The Appeal Court justices further held that the matter was hostile, controversial and contentious and should not have been commenced with an originating summons. In the view of the Appeal Court justices, the proper mode of commencement of the case should have been through a writ of summons. The court held that Justice Abang erred in law and occasioned a miscarriage of justice against the governor when he refused to give fair hearing. The court further held that the judge pre-judged the matt
