Speaking on a television programme last weekend, Ortom said that as president, it was Buhari’s duty to provide citizens of the country with security but failed to take action to curb the killings. In his words; “We invited the president when we visited him in Abuja; that he should come to Benue state and extend his condolences to his people. Because we are members of the party, he is our president. If these people are attacking us, we expect him to give us security. He has done a number of things. He directed NEMA to provide relief materials, he also asked for security to be beefed up but I am not satisfied with what the presidency is doing on this matter. There is no doubt about that. I ask for justice for Benue people because we have not been treated fairly… These he

Professor Lai Olurode, a former national commissioner of the Independent national electoral commission, INEC has opened up on how he almost lost his life for trying to stop underage voting. Olurode was INEC national commissioner for the south-west from 2010 to 2015.  Reacting to allegations of underage voting in the just concluded Kano state LGA polls, He told Punch; If the people can be enlightened, underage voting will reduce.

Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC will be doomed if the national leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu fails to reconcile warring members/factions of the party. Senator Sani said this when he paid a solidarity visit to the APC national leadership, last Friday. In his words; “I am at the national secretariat of the APC for two reasons. First is to personally express my support and solidarity to the efforts of the president in setting up a reconciliation committee headed by Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu. We are confident that his intervention could, most likely, address fundamental issues that are facing the party, at the national and at the state level.  It is no more news that the APC is faced with crisis in some states where it holds sway as a party and this crisis has defied solutions for over two years and efforts that were made in the past has not been able to address the problems. Nobody could have solved this pro

Now, four survivors are bringing a claim for damages against one of the men they believe was responsible, reports Elizabeth Blunt who was a BBC correspondent in Liberia at the time. It was July 1990, and rebel fighters were advancing on the capital, Monrovia. President Samuel Doe was holed up in his vast, gloomy Executive Mansion. After dark bands of soldiers roamed the streets, looting shops and warehouses and seeking out people from Nimba County, the area where the rebellion had started. They dragged the men from their homes, beating and often killing them. Hundreds of terrified families, looking for a safer place to sleep, took refuge in St Peter's Lutheran Church - a spacious building in a walled compound. Huge Red Cross flags flew at every corner.
