Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, Saturday, ordered the immediate mobilization of all police operational assets and resources across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The directive by the IGP is to bring an end to the wanton violence, killings, looting and destruction of public and private property, and reclaim the public space from criminal elements masquerading as protesters in some parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Police spokesman, Frank Mba, the IGP gave the order to all Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs), Commissioners of Police (CPs), Heads of Police Operational Units, Squadron and Base Commanders in charge of Zonal\/State\/FCT Commands, the Police Mobile Force, Counter Terrorism Unit and the Special Protection Unit, today 24th October, 2020.

The IGP, while noting that enough is enough to all acts of lawlessness, disruption of public peace and order and wanton violence which have resulted to indiscriminate looting of shops, malls and ware houses, damage to property and loss of lives in some parts of the country, further directed the Police strategic managers to personally lead and coordinate the operation and use all legitimate means, to halt further slide into lawlessness and brigandage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IGP enjoined law-abiding citizens not to panic but rather join forces with the police and other members of the law enforcement community to protect their communities from the criminal elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further called for the understanding and cooperation of the citizens assuring that the action was geared towards ensuring public order and safety and public security in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajax on Saturday hammered Venlo 13-0, setting a new Eredivisie record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former record which lasted 48 years was also set by Ajax when they beat Vitesse Arnhem 12-1 in May 1972.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lassina Traore, 19 year-old struck five times. The only other player to have scored such a number of goals in a single match in an Eredivisie game was Marco van Basten in 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jurgen Ekkelenkamp gave Ajax the lead after 13 minutes when he touched home Traore\u2019s close-range header, and the Burkina Faso international turned from provider to finisher four minutes later when he headed home Antony\u2019s curling cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christian Kum was handed a straight red card six minutes after the break and after that the floodgates opened, with forward Traore completing his hat-trick two minutes later and Ajax scoring three more times in five minutes to take their tally to eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Antony laid on a headed goal that was an almost carbon copy of his first in the 65th minute and then substitute Klaas-Jan Huntelaar broke the double figures barrier from the spot with 16 minutes remaining before tapping home his second just two minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It ony took another two minutes for demoralised Venlo to concede a 12th, Lisandro Martinez strolling towards the area and curling home a smooth finish, and Traore completed the destruction with three minutes remaining when he lashed home his fifth on the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incredible win puts Erik ten Hag\u2019s Ajax top of the division, two points ahead of PSV Eindhoven and three in front of third-placed Vitesse with both of those sides facing off at Sunday lunchtime in the sixth round of matches of the 2020\/21 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feyenoord and FC Twente, who take on FC Utrecht on Saturday, are four points further back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venlo are in mid table on five points with a goal difference of -13 after conceding more than half of all the goals scored against them this season in just one match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have not won since the opening day of the season.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Ajax hammers Venlo 13-0, break 48yrs record","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ajax-hammers-venlo-13-0-break-48yrs-record","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-24 20:18:36","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-24 20:18:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=887","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":885,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2020-10-24 19:20:30","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-24 19:20:30","post_content":"\n

Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, Saturday, ordered the immediate mobilization of all police operational assets and resources across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The directive by the IGP is to bring an end to the wanton violence, killings, looting and destruction of public and private property, and reclaim the public space from criminal elements masquerading as protesters in some parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Police spokesman, Frank Mba, the IGP gave the order to all Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs), Commissioners of Police (CPs), Heads of Police Operational Units, Squadron and Base Commanders in charge of Zonal\/State\/FCT Commands, the Police Mobile Force, Counter Terrorism Unit and the Special Protection Unit, today 24th October, 2020.

The IGP, while noting that enough is enough to all acts of lawlessness, disruption of public peace and order and wanton violence which have resulted to indiscriminate looting of shops, malls and ware houses, damage to property and loss of lives in some parts of the country, further directed the Police strategic managers to personally lead and coordinate the operation and use all legitimate means, to halt further slide into lawlessness and brigandage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, Saturday, ordered the immediate mobilization of all police operational assets and resources across the country....
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state.

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us shut our ears to those things. Let us focus as one people, whether you're Igbo, whether you're from the North, whether you're from the South. This is the mantra that we have in the House of Representatives because if you talk about nation-building, we say it is a joint task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us shut our ears to those things. Let us focus as one people, whether you're Igbo, whether you're from the North, whether you're from the South. This is the mantra that we have in the House of Representatives because if you talk about nation-building, we say it is a joint task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to also use this opportunity, in a way, to be grateful and commend our brothers and sisters from the North. I said this because if the North had been a part of this, I don't know if we'll all be standing here today. That's why I commend our brothers and sisters from the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"On Tuesday, we talked in the House about compensation. I want to reiterate that the House will do all it can to make sure that everybody that has suffered from police violence - whether you're from the North, from the East, from the West, because everybody in Nigeria has suffered from police violence, not just those of us from the Southwest. That will be applicable to all, including policemen that lost their lives in these unfortunate incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"So, Your Excellency, we bring you good tidings and good wishes from Abuja. We stand with you. Whatever the House can do to help in rebuilding not just Lagos State but other states that have been affected as well from whatever part in Nigeria, the House will definitely join hands. Because we're now in the situation of reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to encourage our young men and women out there that you fought a good fight, and I'm sure deep down, you're not happy with what you've seen. The government listened, the president listened, the House listened, the Senate listened, the governors listened, it is now time to take stock and make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the true situation of what happened in Lekki must be unravelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your Excellency, the ground zero of what happened here is Lekki. That was what precipitated the violence and the carnage the following day. It is important to me, as I know it is important to you and to everybody, to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" A judicial panel has been set up, and I hope those who say this is what happened will have the courage to go before the judicial panel and say this is what happened and give credible evidence. And if that was indeed what happened, then the law must take its course. But if that was not what happened, the law must also take its course. Either way, the law must take its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The governor was telling me just now that it was going to cost about a trillion naira to rebuild Lagos. That makes my heart heavy. And I asked the governor what's the budget of Lagos State? What are you planning? And he told me that they're planning a budget of about a trillion naira.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila visits Sanwo-Olu, Akiolu, Tinubu, sympathises with Nigerians over tragedies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-visits-sanwo-olu-akiolu-tinubu-sympathises-with-nigerians-over-tragedies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=891","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":521},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us shut our ears to those things. Let us focus as one people, whether you're Igbo, whether you're from the North, whether you're from the South. This is the mantra that we have in the House of Representatives because if you talk about nation-building, we say it is a joint task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to also use this opportunity, in a way, to be grateful and commend our brothers and sisters from the North. I said this because if the North had been a part of this, I don't know if we'll all be standing here today. That's why I commend our brothers and sisters from the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"On Tuesday, we talked in the House about compensation. I want to reiterate that the House will do all it can to make sure that everybody that has suffered from police violence - whether you're from the North, from the East, from the West, because everybody in Nigeria has suffered from police violence, not just those of us from the Southwest. That will be applicable to all, including policemen that lost their lives in these unfortunate incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"So, Your Excellency, we bring you good tidings and good wishes from Abuja. We stand with you. Whatever the House can do to help in rebuilding not just Lagos State but other states that have been affected as well from whatever part in Nigeria, the House will definitely join hands. Because we're now in the situation of reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to encourage our young men and women out there that you fought a good fight, and I'm sure deep down, you're not happy with what you've seen. The government listened, the president listened, the House listened, the Senate listened, the governors listened, it is now time to take stock and make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the true situation of what happened in Lekki must be unravelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your Excellency, the ground zero of what happened here is Lekki. That was what precipitated the violence and the carnage the following day. It is important to me, as I know it is important to you and to everybody, to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" A judicial panel has been set up, and I hope those who say this is what happened will have the courage to go before the judicial panel and say this is what happened and give credible evidence. And if that was indeed what happened, then the law must take its course. But if that was not what happened, the law must also take its course. Either way, the law must take its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The governor was telling me just now that it was going to cost about a trillion naira to rebuild Lagos. That makes my heart heavy. And I asked the governor what's the budget of Lagos State? What are you planning? And he told me that they're planning a budget of about a trillion naira.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila visits Sanwo-Olu, Akiolu, Tinubu, sympathises with Nigerians over tragedies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-visits-sanwo-olu-akiolu-tinubu-sympathises-with-nigerians-over-tragedies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=891","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":521},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

Kano state has promised to provide free land for state indigenes in diaspora to develop residential building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje said the essence is to help them reumite with their families esp eially during holiday visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We are doing this to our citizens some of whom have been away for very long time and when they come visiting during holidays, they need spaces to settle and meet their families and loved ones,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was quoted to have said this during a virtual Kano in Diaspora Town Hall Meeting organised by the Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Foreign Investment and Diaspora, Hajiya Hama Aware which held on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A statement signed by the commissioner for information, Malam Muhammad Garba indicated that already, there has been a plan by the state government to grant land and tax incentives to would-be investors in the diaspora in order to promote economic investments in various sectors in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ganduje said land acquisition has been made easy and speedy with the removal of bureaucracies involved as well as a wide variety of tax incentives to encourage investments to boost the economy of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed out that Kano currently enjoys a peaceful atmosphere that would encourage any serious local and foreign investor to come to the state and derive the benefits of the efforts made so far by the state government in the area of security and massive infrastructure development that would facilitate economic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governor expressed readiness to reduce medical tourism said his administration would support the conduct of Kano Diaspora Day and Investment Summit in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her contribution, the Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri Erewa, commended Kano for putting steps in place to pass a bill for Kano citizens in Diaspora to be known as Kano in Diaspora Commission (KIDCOM) which was submitted by the Special Adviser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us shut our ears to those things. Let us focus as one people, whether you're Igbo, whether you're from the North, whether you're from the South. This is the mantra that we have in the House of Representatives because if you talk about nation-building, we say it is a joint task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to also use this opportunity, in a way, to be grateful and commend our brothers and sisters from the North. I said this because if the North had been a part of this, I don't know if we'll all be standing here today. That's why I commend our brothers and sisters from the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"On Tuesday, we talked in the House about compensation. I want to reiterate that the House will do all it can to make sure that everybody that has suffered from police violence - whether you're from the North, from the East, from the West, because everybody in Nigeria has suffered from police violence, not just those of us from the Southwest. That will be applicable to all, including policemen that lost their lives in these unfortunate incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"So, Your Excellency, we bring you good tidings and good wishes from Abuja. We stand with you. Whatever the House can do to help in rebuilding not just Lagos State but other states that have been affected as well from whatever part in Nigeria, the House will definitely join hands. Because we're now in the situation of reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to encourage our young men and women out there that you fought a good fight, and I'm sure deep down, you're not happy with what you've seen. The government listened, the president listened, the House listened, the Senate listened, the governors listened, it is now time to take stock and make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the true situation of what happened in Lekki must be unravelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your Excellency, the ground zero of what happened here is Lekki. That was what precipitated the violence and the carnage the following day. It is important to me, as I know it is important to you and to everybody, to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" A judicial panel has been set up, and I hope those who say this is what happened will have the courage to go before the judicial panel and say this is what happened and give credible evidence. And if that was indeed what happened, then the law must take its course. But if that was not what happened, the law must also take its course. Either way, the law must take its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us shut our ears to those things. Let us focus as one people, whether you're Igbo, whether you're from the North, whether you're from the South. This is the mantra that we have in the House of Representatives because if you talk about nation-building, we say it is a joint task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to also use this opportunity, in a way, to be grateful and commend our brothers and sisters from the North. I said this because if the North had been a part of this, I don't know if we'll all be standing here today. That's why I commend our brothers and sisters from the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"On Tuesday, we talked in the House about compensation. I want to reiterate that the House will do all it can to make sure that everybody that has suffered from police violence - whether you're from the North, from the East, from the West, because everybody in Nigeria has suffered from police violence, not just those of us from the Southwest. That will be applicable to all, including policemen that lost their lives in these unfortunate incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"So, Your Excellency, we bring you good tidings and good wishes from Abuja. We stand with you. Whatever the House can do to help in rebuilding not just Lagos State but other states that have been affected as well from whatever part in Nigeria, the House will definitely join hands. Because we're now in the situation of reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to encourage our young men and women out there that you fought a good fight, and I'm sure deep down, you're not happy with what you've seen. The government listened, the president listened, the House listened, the Senate listened, the governors listened, it is now time to take stock and make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the true situation of what happened in Lekki must be unravelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your Excellency, the ground zero of what happened here is Lekki. That was what precipitated the violence and the carnage the following day. It is important to me, as I know it is important to you and to everybody, to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" A judicial panel has been set up, and I hope those who say this is what happened will have the courage to go before the judicial panel and say this is what happened and give credible evidence. And if that was indeed what happened, then the law must take its course. But if that was not what happened, the law must also take its course. Either way, the law must take its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The governor was telling me just now that it was going to cost about a trillion naira to rebuild Lagos. That makes my heart heavy. And I asked the governor what's the budget of Lagos State? What are you planning? And he told me that they're planning a budget of about a trillion naira.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila visits Sanwo-Olu, Akiolu, Tinubu, sympathises with Nigerians over tragedies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-visits-sanwo-olu-akiolu-tinubu-sympathises-with-nigerians-over-tragedies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=891","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":521},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, Saturday, ordered the immediate mobilization of all police operational assets and resources across the country....
\u201cHe said it is important that the police and other security agencies move everywhere to restore calm and normalcy as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement added: \u201cA government that has launched a massive crackdown on corruption, brought in strong laws for a decisive battle against corruption, pursues loot recovery at home and abroad, and taken strong decisions against those who thought they were above the law, will not fold its arms when an otherwise legitimate and peaceful protest is turning into free-for-all vandalism and looting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile the administration has, for its part, blocked so many means of looting public money in a war against corruption, it is the expectation that all civil authorities, community and religious leaders in the country must rise against the organized looting and plunder we are witnessing in parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President admonished families to reject items looted and brought home by their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stated: \u201cFamilies must turn back children who bring home unaccounted goods, in the same way wives must ask their husbands to return looted items brought home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is more, is that criminal actions as we have so far witnessed can weaken and erode the confidence of our people and that of foreign businesses in investing in the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looting and vandalism will hurt trade and investment growth in our country, both large and small industries, as well as our hardworking people in the informal sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These incidents do not reflect well on any society. They are wrong and condemnable and should not be supported by reasonable members of the society.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"At last Buhari speaks on Lekki shooting, promises justice for victims","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"at-last-buhari-speaks-on-lekki-shooting-promises-justice-for-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 19:18:26","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 19:18:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":894,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2020-10-25 19:03:24","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-25 19:03:24","post_content":"\n
Kano state has promised to provide free land for state indigenes in diaspora to develop residential building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje said the essence is to help them reumite with their families esp eially during holiday visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A statement signed by the commissioner for information, Malam Muhammad Garba indicated that already, there has been a plan by the state government to grant land and tax incentives to would-be investors in the diaspora in order to promote economic investments in various sectors in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ganduje said land acquisition has been made easy and speedy with the removal of bureaucracies involved as well as a wide variety of tax incentives to encourage investments to boost the economy of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed out that Kano currently enjoys a peaceful atmosphere that would encourage any serious local and foreign investor to come to the state and derive the benefits of the efforts made so far by the state government in the area of security and massive infrastructure development that would facilitate economic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I want to also use this opportunity, in a way, to be grateful and commend our brothers and sisters from the North. I said this because if the North had been a part of this, I don't know if we'll all be standing here today. That's why I commend our brothers and sisters from the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"On Tuesday, we talked in the House about compensation. I want to reiterate that the House will do all it can to make sure that everybody that has suffered from police violence - whether you're from the North, from the East, from the West, because everybody in Nigeria has suffered from police violence, not just those of us from the Southwest. That will be applicable to all, including policemen that lost their lives in these unfortunate incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"So, Your Excellency, we bring you good tidings and good wishes from Abuja. We stand with you. Whatever the House can do to help in rebuilding not just Lagos State but other states that have been affected as well from whatever part in Nigeria, the House will definitely join hands. Because we're now in the situation of reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to encourage our young men and women out there that you fought a good fight, and I'm sure deep down, you're not happy with what you've seen. The government listened, the president listened, the House listened, the Senate listened, the governors listened, it is now time to take stock and make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the true situation of what happened in Lekki must be unravelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your Excellency, the ground zero of what happened here is Lekki. That was what precipitated the violence and the carnage the following day. It is important to me, as I know it is important to you and to everybody, to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" A judicial panel has been set up, and I hope those who say this is what happened will have the courage to go before the judicial panel and say this is what happened and give credible evidence. And if that was indeed what happened, then the law must take its course. But if that was not what happened, the law must also take its course. Either way, the law must take its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The governor was telling me just now that it was going to cost about a trillion naira to rebuild Lagos. That makes my heart heavy. And I asked the governor what's the budget of Lagos State? What are you planning? And he told me that they're planning a budget of about a trillion naira.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila visits Sanwo-Olu, Akiolu, Tinubu, sympathises with Nigerians over tragedies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-visits-sanwo-olu-akiolu-tinubu-sympathises-with-nigerians-over-tragedies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=891","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":521},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

\u201cThe President, who said he had all along avoided going into a debate about the Lekki Toll Gate incidents until all the facts are established, appealed to the people all over the country to maintain peace and brotherhood as the machinery of the government and the wheel of justice turn against the perpetrators of murder, arson, stealing, rape, assault and malicious damage to public and private property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPresident Buhari reiterated his appeal for calm, brotherhood and communal harmony, telling Nigerians not to turn on each other in hate as according to him, peace, brotherhood, and inter-communal harmony are central to the nation\u2019s ethos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe said it is important that the police and other security agencies move everywhere to restore calm and normalcy as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement added: \u201cA government that has launched a massive crackdown on corruption, brought in strong laws for a decisive battle against corruption, pursues loot recovery at home and abroad, and taken strong decisions against those who thought they were above the law, will not fold its arms when an otherwise legitimate and peaceful protest is turning into free-for-all vandalism and looting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President admonished families to reject items looted and brought home by their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stated: \u201cFamilies must turn back children who bring home unaccounted goods, in the same way wives must ask their husbands to return looted items brought home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is more, is that criminal actions as we have so far witnessed can weaken and erode the confidence of our people and that of foreign businesses in investing in the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looting and vandalism will hurt trade and investment growth in our country, both large and small industries, as well as our hardworking people in the informal sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement said: \u201cAs the Judicial panel of inquiry set up by the Lagos State Government, one of the more dozen states to do so, starts sitting on Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his full support and optimism that it will assist the nation to give justice to peaceful protesters who lost their lives, security men who were murdered and property owners whose assets were vandalized and looted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe President, who said he had all along avoided going into a debate about the Lekki Toll Gate incidents until all the facts are established, appealed to the people all over the country to maintain peace and brotherhood as the machinery of the government and the wheel of justice turn against the perpetrators of murder, arson, stealing, rape, assault and malicious damage to public and private property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement said: \u201cAs the Judicial panel of inquiry set up by the Lagos State Government, one of the more dozen states to do so, starts sitting on Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his full support and optimism that it will assist the nation to give justice to peaceful protesters who lost their lives, security men who were murdered and property owners whose assets were vandalized and looted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe President, who said he had all along avoided going into a debate about the Lekki Toll Gate incidents until all the facts are established, appealed to the people all over the country to maintain peace and brotherhood as the machinery of the government and the wheel of justice turn against the perpetrators of murder, arson, stealing, rape, assault and malicious damage to public and private property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPresident Buhari reiterated his appeal for calm, brotherhood and communal harmony, telling Nigerians not to turn on each other in hate as according to him, peace, brotherhood, and inter-communal harmony are central to the nation\u2019s ethos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe said it is important that the police and other security agencies move everywhere to restore calm and normalcy as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement added: \u201cA government that has launched a massive crackdown on corruption, brought in strong laws for a decisive battle against corruption, pursues loot recovery at home and abroad, and taken strong decisions against those who thought they were above the law, will not fold its arms when an otherwise legitimate and peaceful protest is turning into free-for-all vandalism and looting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile the administration has, for its part, blocked so many means of looting public money in a war against corruption, it is the expectation that all civil authorities, community and religious leaders in the country must rise against the organized looting and plunder we are witnessing in parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President admonished families to reject items looted and brought home by their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stated: \u201cFamilies must turn back children who bring home unaccounted goods, in the same way wives must ask their husbands to return looted items brought home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is more, is that criminal actions as we have so far witnessed can weaken and erode the confidence of our people and that of foreign businesses in investing in the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looting and vandalism will hurt trade and investment growth in our country, both large and small industries, as well as our hardworking people in the informal sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These incidents do not reflect well on any society. They are wrong and condemnable and should not be supported by reasonable members of the society.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"At last Buhari speaks on Lekki shooting, promises justice for victims","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"at-last-buhari-speaks-on-lekki-shooting-promises-justice-for-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 19:18:26","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 19:18:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=897","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":894,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2020-10-25 19:03:24","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-25 19:03:24","post_content":"\n
Kano state has promised to provide free land for state indigenes in diaspora to develop residential building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us shut our ears to those things. Let us focus as one people, whether you're Igbo, whether you're from the North, whether you're from the South. This is the mantra that we have in the House of Representatives because if you talk about nation-building, we say it is a joint task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to also use this opportunity, in a way, to be grateful and commend our brothers and sisters from the North. I said this because if the North had been a part of this, I don't know if we'll all be standing here today. That's why I commend our brothers and sisters from the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"On Tuesday, we talked in the House about compensation. I want to reiterate that the House will do all it can to make sure that everybody that has suffered from police violence - whether you're from the North, from the East, from the West, because everybody in Nigeria has suffered from police violence, not just those of us from the Southwest. That will be applicable to all, including policemen that lost their lives in these unfortunate incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"So, Your Excellency, we bring you good tidings and good wishes from Abuja. We stand with you. Whatever the House can do to help in rebuilding not just Lagos State but other states that have been affected as well from whatever part in Nigeria, the House will definitely join hands. Because we're now in the situation of reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to encourage our young men and women out there that you fought a good fight, and I'm sure deep down, you're not happy with what you've seen. The government listened, the president listened, the House listened, the Senate listened, the governors listened, it is now time to take stock and make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the true situation of what happened in Lekki must be unravelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your Excellency, the ground zero of what happened here is Lekki. That was what precipitated the violence and the carnage the following day. It is important to me, as I know it is important to you and to everybody, to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" A judicial panel has been set up, and I hope those who say this is what happened will have the courage to go before the judicial panel and say this is what happened and give credible evidence. And if that was indeed what happened, then the law must take its course. But if that was not what happened, the law must also take its course. Either way, the law must take its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The governor was telling me just now that it was going to cost about a trillion naira to rebuild Lagos. That makes my heart heavy. And I asked the governor what's the budget of Lagos State? What are you planning? And he told me that they're planning a budget of about a trillion naira.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila visits Sanwo-Olu, Akiolu, Tinubu, sympathises with Nigerians over tragedies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-visits-sanwo-olu-akiolu-tinubu-sympathises-with-nigerians-over-tragedies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=891","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":521},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us shut our ears to those things. Let us focus as one people, whether you're Igbo, whether you're from the North, whether you're from the South. This is the mantra that we have in the House of Representatives because if you talk about nation-building, we say it is a joint task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to also use this opportunity, in a way, to be grateful and commend our brothers and sisters from the North. I said this because if the North had been a part of this, I don't know if we'll all be standing here today. That's why I commend our brothers and sisters from the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"On Tuesday, we talked in the House about compensation. I want to reiterate that the House will do all it can to make sure that everybody that has suffered from police violence - whether you're from the North, from the East, from the West, because everybody in Nigeria has suffered from police violence, not just those of us from the Southwest. That will be applicable to all, including policemen that lost their lives in these unfortunate incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"So, Your Excellency, we bring you good tidings and good wishes from Abuja. We stand with you. Whatever the House can do to help in rebuilding not just Lagos State but other states that have been affected as well from whatever part in Nigeria, the House will definitely join hands. Because we're now in the situation of reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to encourage our young men and women out there that you fought a good fight, and I'm sure deep down, you're not happy with what you've seen. The government listened, the president listened, the House listened, the Senate listened, the governors listened, it is now time to take stock and make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the true situation of what happened in Lekki must be unravelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your Excellency, the ground zero of what happened here is Lekki. That was what precipitated the violence and the carnage the following day. It is important to me, as I know it is important to you and to everybody, to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" A judicial panel has been set up, and I hope those who say this is what happened will have the courage to go before the judicial panel and say this is what happened and give credible evidence. And if that was indeed what happened, then the law must take its course. But if that was not what happened, the law must also take its course. Either way, the law must take its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The governor was telling me just now that it was going to cost about a trillion naira to rebuild Lagos. That makes my heart heavy. And I asked the governor what's the budget of Lagos State? What are you planning? And he told me that they're planning a budget of about a trillion naira.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila visits Sanwo-Olu, Akiolu, Tinubu, sympathises with Nigerians over tragedies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-visits-sanwo-olu-akiolu-tinubu-sympathises-with-nigerians-over-tragedies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=891","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":521},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, Saturday, ordered the immediate mobilization of all police operational assets and resources across the country....
Finally, President Muhammadu Buhari has broken his silence on last Tuesday shooting of #ENDSARS protesters in Lekki, Lagos by suspected security operatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buhari vowed to ensure justice for \u201cpeaceful protesters who lost their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also promised justice for property owners and business owners affected by the arson across the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the president said he decided not to talk on the shooting incident until he had access to all the facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement said: \u201cAs the Judicial panel of inquiry set up by the Lagos State Government, one of the more dozen states to do so, starts sitting on Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his full support and optimism that it will assist the nation to give justice to peaceful protesters who lost their lives, security men who were murdered and property owners whose assets were vandalized and looted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe President, who said he had all along avoided going into a debate about the Lekki Toll Gate incidents until all the facts are established, appealed to the people all over the country to maintain peace and brotherhood as the machinery of the government and the wheel of justice turn against the perpetrators of murder, arson, stealing, rape, assault and malicious damage to public and private property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPresident Buhari reiterated his appeal for calm, brotherhood and communal harmony, telling Nigerians not to turn on each other in hate as according to him, peace, brotherhood, and inter-communal harmony are central to the nation\u2019s ethos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe said it is important that the police and other security agencies move everywhere to restore calm and normalcy as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement added: \u201cA government that has launched a massive crackdown on corruption, brought in strong laws for a decisive battle against corruption, pursues loot recovery at home and abroad, and taken strong decisions against those who thought they were above the law, will not fold its arms when an otherwise legitimate and peaceful protest is turning into free-for-all vandalism and looting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile the administration has, for its part, blocked so many means of looting public money in a war against corruption, it is the expectation that all civil authorities, community and religious leaders in the country must rise against the organized looting and plunder we are witnessing in parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President admonished families to reject items looted and brought home by their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stated: \u201cFamilies must turn back children who bring home unaccounted goods, in the same way wives must ask their husbands to return looted items brought home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is more, is that criminal actions as we have so far witnessed can weaken and erode the confidence of our people and that of foreign businesses in investing in the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looting and vandalism will hurt trade and investment growth in our country, both large and small industries, as well as our hardworking people in the informal sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These incidents do not reflect well on any society.

\u2026says House ready to support Lagos, other affected states<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that Nigerians killed before, during and after the #EndSARS protests must get justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker, who sympathised with Nigerians from all parts of the country as a result of the killings, said the unity of the country remains non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking when he paid a visit to sympathise with the governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, the Speaker said the destruction caused by the protests was a very sad event that should not occur again in the history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker and his delegation also paid a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, whose historical palace was destroyed during the wave of violence that engulfed the state. The delegation equally met with the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accompanied by some members of the House, Gbajabiamila, at the Lagos House Marina, expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property and the devastation after he and members of his team watched a documentary on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I came in from Abuja today, not just to stand in solidarity with him, but by extension the people of Lagos State. These have been very difficult few days. It has even been more difficult for me in the last hour. Driving in from the airport and sitting with the governor to watch the documentary here put together, that evidences the carnage we all witnessed. It makes us all very sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This, certainly, is not the Lagos of our dream that we all talk about. And I know deep down, and I believe no matter how brave a face one puts to it, that even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far, because from my understanding and from what I've seen, both those who are pro-protest and those who are anti-protest, were all affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"There's very little I can say. But I know that standing with me is a man of courage, a man of destiny. Because it's very unusual for you to come into office, and within a year a few months, you witnessed two calamitous events: first, you were in the epicentre of Covid-19, which you dealt with to the admiration of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Whilst we were still grappling with that, you now became the epicentre of the protests. I want to encourage you to lift your head high, because you discharged your duties as a governor of a state that was troubled in the last few months, or close to one year,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker said he did not wish the incident to take an ethnic dimension having heard a lot of conspiracy theories about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us shut our ears to those things. Let us focus as one people, whether you're Igbo, whether you're from the North, whether you're from the South. This is the mantra that we have in the House of Representatives because if you talk about nation-building, we say it is a joint task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to also use this opportunity, in a way, to be grateful and commend our brothers and sisters from the North. I said this because if the North had been a part of this, I don't know if we'll all be standing here today. That's why I commend our brothers and sisters from the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"On Tuesday, we talked in the House about compensation. I want to reiterate that the House will do all it can to make sure that everybody that has suffered from police violence - whether you're from the North, from the East, from the West, because everybody in Nigeria has suffered from police violence, not just those of us from the Southwest. That will be applicable to all, including policemen that lost their lives in these unfortunate incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"So, Your Excellency, we bring you good tidings and good wishes from Abuja. We stand with you. Whatever the House can do to help in rebuilding not just Lagos State but other states that have been affected as well from whatever part in Nigeria, the House will definitely join hands. Because we're now in the situation of reconstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I want to encourage our young men and women out there that you fought a good fight, and I'm sure deep down, you're not happy with what you've seen. The government listened, the president listened, the House listened, the Senate listened, the governors listened, it is now time to take stock and make sure this never happens again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the true situation of what happened in Lekki must be unravelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your Excellency, the ground zero of what happened here is Lekki. That was what precipitated the violence and the carnage the following day. It is important to me, as I know it is important to you and to everybody, to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\" A judicial panel has been set up, and I hope those who say this is what happened will have the courage to go before the judicial panel and say this is what happened and give credible evidence. And if that was indeed what happened, then the law must take its course. But if that was not what happened, the law must also take its course. Either way, the law must take its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The governor was telling me just now that it was going to cost about a trillion naira to rebuild Lagos. That makes my heart heavy. And I asked the governor what's the budget of Lagos State? What are you planning? And he told me that they're planning a budget of about a trillion naira.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila visits Sanwo-Olu, Akiolu, Tinubu, sympathises with Nigerians over tragedies","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-visits-sanwo-olu-akiolu-tinubu-sympathises-with-nigerians-over-tragedies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-25 18:54:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=891","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":521},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
