Follow @NigeriaPI The Complaint Response Unit of the Nigeria Police Force has resolved 324 cases out of a total of 405 complaints made against the police by members of the public between July 1 and September 30, 2016. Fifty-one cases reported during the period were found to be false while 30 cases are pending, a report released on Thursday in Abuja by the Officer in charge of the CRU, Acting ACP Abayomi Shogunle, stated. The CRU said it recovered N2.75m bribe from an Assistant Commissioner of Police, serving in one of the state commands in the South-East, after a complaint was made to the unit through a telephone call. The police stated that the money was recovered from the ACP after the case was referred to the X-Squad for necessary action in line with the directive by the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, that the X-Squad be integrated into the CRU responding agents. Findings indicated that the errant senior officer had been referred to the Police Service Commission for disciplinary action. The report stated, “Record shows that the sum of N2.750m bribe was recovered from an Assistant Commissioner of Police, serving in one of the state commands after a complaint was made to the CRU through a telephone call. “Necessary disciplinary procedures are ongoing against the officer involved in the unacceptable conduct just as the suspect arrested in respect of the case, upon which the bribe money was collected, has since been handed over to the relevant government agency for prosecution for the offence.” The CRU report stated that Rivers State Police Command topped the state ranking with a...

Follow @NigeriaPI One of the parents of four freed pupils of the Lagos Junior Model College, Igbonla, Epe, Lagos State, has said the victims were brought back by the kidnappers to a bush behind the school, not far from where they were abducted six days ago. The parent, who pleaded that his identity be protected, told PUNCH Metro on Wednesday that the kidnappers brought the schoolboys, the teacher and the Vice-Principal to the area that they had passed through to invade the school on Thursday, October 6. Our correspondents learnt that some people in the school, who sighted the victims around 10.30pm, thereafter put calls across to their relations to announce their release. The kidnappers had last Friday, at about 8am, stormed the school premises while the junior school was rounding off the morning prayers and shot sporadically into the air. During the invasion, four pupils – Okonkwo Emmanuel, Isaac Adebisi, Abu and Jeremiah – were abducted while the English Language/Civic Education teacher, Lukman Oyerinde, and the Vice Principal, A.O. Oyesola, were also taken away by force. Our correspondents had reported the various stages of negotiation of ransoms between the attackers and the victims’ families, which was finally put at N1m ransom for each victim. PUNCH Metro gathered that the victims were hidden in a creek in the Epe area, which was said to be about four hours’ sailing from the school. It was gathered that the schoolboys, the teacher, and the VP were dropped off on Tuesday evening. The parent, who lived in the Ikorodu area, told our correspondent that he had relocated to a friend’s place in...

Follow @NigeriaPI Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has said that only one of the 21 released Chibok girls has a baby. On Thursday evening, Osinbajo led some top government officials to visit the girls at the DSS Medical Centre, Airport Road, Abuja, where they are currently receiving medical attention. Osinbajo, who was accompanied by the Director-General of the DSS, Mr. Lawal Daura; Minister of Information and Culture, Mr. Lai Mohammed; Minister of Women Affairs, Senator Aisha Alhassan; Minister of State, Budget and National Planning, Zaynab Ahmed; and the Special Adviser to the President on Social Protection Plan, Mrs. Maryam Uwais, later briefed State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The Vice-President disclosed to journalists that the Federal Government did not swap any Boko Haram detainee for the release of the girls. “There was no exchange of any kind. There was no swap of any kind. Even when we started negotiations, we said we would consider all options available to us. Absolutely, there was no exchange of any kind,” he said. When asked if the government would consider a swap for the release of the remaining girls still in captivity, Osinbajo said the government would look at all options and weigh them carefully. “In doing so, however, the security and safety of the country would be considered,” he said. He said the government would rather use the same template that was used for the release of the 21 girls to secure the release of the remaining ones. Osinbajo said, “We must be sensitive to the fact that the government wants these girls back and alive. Again, we must balance this against the security and safety...

Follow @NigeriaPI Getting a partner these days has become easier and faster. You don’t need to attend your friend’s birthday bash with the intention of seeing the prettiest girl or the most handsome man in the group. One of the ways people get hooked up is through social media. One could be scrolling down that Facebook page or Instagram admiring pretty and hunk faces and get a hook. This is exactly what one man identified as Dee did. The man found a pretty girl on Instagram, hit on her and within no days they were out on a date. They fell in love and six months down the line they became husband and wife. The man was respectful enough not to hurry the new acquisition into laying her. He waited, just like the Holy books advise, for the right time to get down on her. But things turned ugly when the two got to bed to have intimacy. The lady hit the bathroom, had a shower and on returning, our good brother realised she wasn’t the same girl he had has always dated....
