<b><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">According
to reports, a female police officer was yesterday attacked and almost stri*ped
unclad by a dreaded wealthy man.</span></b><br />
<br />
The police officer, Inspector Tochukwu Offoegbu was allegedly on duty when
the the ‘big man,’ who owns a park in Onitsha, approached her, allegedly
telling her that he would facilitate her removal from Onitsha as he did to
one  Archibong.<br />
<br />
She then demanded to know what she did that would warrant her removal, so he
reportedly slapped her for questioning him. Eyewitness also revealed that his
boys allegedly tore the female officer’s uniform, leaving her almost unclad.<br />
<br />
‘’She ran for her life into the Police post to avoid the peering eyes of the
public before the Area Commander Benjamin Nwordu asked all of them to come to
the area police station, Onitsha.<br />
<br />
‘’That man cannot be arrested because last time he slapped the Commissioner of
police because of park matters and so the governor closed the park and now, it
is an Inspector. I fear,” the eyewitness narrated.<br />

Protest by students of the University of Benin over alleged shooting 
to death of  late Momodu Ibrahim, a 22-year-old 500 level student of the
 Faculty of Laboratory Science yesterday disrupted vehicular movement in
 Benin city yesterday, as the students dressed in black attire marched 
through some major streets, calling for the arrest and prosecution of 
the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Ogida Police Station, Mrs. 
Carol Afegbai, over her alleged complicity in the murder of Momodu.<br />
<br />

Late Momodu, said to be the only male child of his parents was 
allegedly shot close to his family house at 1, Igbobaewaye Street, off 
Siluko road by Textile Mill junction.<br />
<br />

An elder sister of the deceased, Ebohon Rebecca Egbe, who spoke to 
newsmen gave an account of how the life of his brother was cut short by 
the bullet allegedly fired by the DPO, while she called for justice to 
be done in the case.<br />
<br />

“I was in my office in Port Harcourt when I received a call from a 
cousin of mine in Benin who is a policeman, saying that he wants to tell
 me that we lost Ibrahim my younger brother.<br />

“I called my mother and she said they had been looking for him in for
 two days. Normally it is after 48 hours that you report such thing to 
the Police.”<br />
<br />

According to her, she later went to the Police only to be told that 
he was allegedly killed by Carol Afegbua, the DPO of Ogida Police 
Station and was buried the next day without the knowledge of the family.<br />
<br />

According to her, his brother’s cell-phone which was with the Police 
rang all through as “we were trying to locate his whereabouts until the 
Police finally picked the call and asked my mother to come to the police
 station.<br />
<br />

“When the DPO was confronted over why her men shot my brother, she 
explained that they did not know his identity because her men asked him 
to stop and he refused. The DPO alleged that he was carrying a gun and 
wanted to shoot her men on patrol before they shot at him in self 
defence.”<br />
<br />

The family, according to the sister of the slain student, was 
informed that the body of late Momodu had been buried at a public 
cemetery in Egor Local Government Area of the state.

Xclusive: 25 Dead Policemen And Thier Bodies Found In Mass Grave In Nasarawa

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/wp-content/themes/sahifa/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/copsz.jpg&h=330&w=660&a=c" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/wp-content/themes/sahifa/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/copsz.jpg&h=330&w=660&a=c" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The death toll of policemen killed by members of the Ombatse cult in 
Nasarawa State has climbed to 72 following the discovery of the bodies 
of 25 policemen that had been hitherto declared missing in a mass grave 
in an unnamed village in the state. Security authorities had earlier 
confirmed 57 operatives, comprising 47 policemen and 10 agents of the 
State Security Service (SSS), killed in the attack that took place on 
May 7 when they were on a rescue mission to a village in Nasarawa State.
 The police, which launched a manhunt for the killers, had declared the 
25 policemen missing because their bodies could not be found to confirm 
if they were dead or alive and nobody knew their whereabouts. The 
manhunt for the killers however yielded fruit yesterday as seven of the 
suspected Ombatse cultists were said to have been arrested in Borno 
State while trying to flee to Niger Republic.<br />While the police are 
still searching for the killers, the Chairman of the Northern State 
Governors’ Forum (NSGF) and Niger State Governor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, 
yesterday called on the federal government to fish out the killers and 
bring them to justice.<br />A top police source confided in THISDAY 
yesterday that contrary to the hope among the police authorities that 
the 25 policemen might still be alive, their bodies were recently found 
in a mass grave in a village. But he declined to name the village and 
when the bodies were discovered. “By the time we found the missing 
policemen, their bodies were already decomposing in a mass grave in the 
village. It was a gory sight,” he said.<br />He promised that the police 
would spare no efforts and resources in ensuring that those behind the 
killings are found and prosecuted. Efforts to get more details from 
police spokesperson, Frank Mba, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), 
proved abortive, as he did not pick or return his calls.<br />It was also 
learnt yesterday that seven of the suspected killers of the security 
agents have been arrested in Borno State while trying to flee to Niger 
Republic. The arrest has however not eased tension in the state as many 
people feared that the case will not be closed until the arrest of the 
chief priest of the Ombatse shrine whose concoction people believed 
helped the cultists to become invulnerable to injuries from weapons. 
THISDAY learnt that the fear stems from the fact that the power and 
influence of the chief priest is known to the people, especially 
politicians who had also benefited from his mystical powers in 2011 
during the general election. The cult, according to a source, is said to
 be bitter that those who climbed to positions of power through its 
influence turned round to send enforcement operatives to destroy it. The
 seven suspected Eggon militants believed to have been apprehended at 
the weekend by the Joint Task Force (JTF) operatives in Borno State may 
have been handed over to the Nasarawa Police Command. Initial 
investigations have also shown that some top politicians in the state 
had patronised the shrine during the campaign for the last general 
election and helped in the funding and provision of logistics, 
especially sophisticated weapons used by the cultists.<br />Inspector 
General of Police (IG), Mohammed Abubakar, while visiting the troubled 
area at the weekend, had called on elders and eminent citizens of 
Nasarawa State to collaborate with the police to fish out the killers. 
The IG, who was in the state along with the Minister of Police Affairs, 
Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade (rtd), described the killing of the 
security agents as “callous”. He said some officers were still being 
held hostage by the militants, adding that efforts were being made to 
free them. “We are making every peaceful effort to ensure that some of 
our men still being held hostage are released unhurt,” Abubakar said. On
 his part, Olubolade said such a “barbaric act” of snuffing out the life
 of security personnel,<br />who are meant to safeguard lives, was unacceptable in a decent society.<br />“Somebody,
 somewhere is causing havoc for whatever reason and the society must not
 allow that to continue,” he added. The Niger State governor also  
Monday made a case for the apprehension and prosecution of those behind 
the killing of the security agents in Nasarawa State.<br />Aliyu, who 
spoke in Abuja during a peace forum and launch of polio eradication 
almanac, which was organised by the Northern State Governors’ Wives’ 
Forum (NGWF), also called for equal compensation to families of security
 agents killed in Nasarawa State. Over N70 million was raised to 
encourage the peace mission and polio eradication in the region. The 
governor said it was deplorable that security agents who are symbols of 
the nation’s authority could be killed by insurgents. “I heard that a 
policeman’s life is worth N500,000 and that it took the intervention of 
the Force Headquarters to make it N1 million, while that of the SSS is 
N10 million and a house. We should begin to treat our security agents 
equally,” he said. Chairperson of NGWF and wife of Benue State governor,
 Mrs. Yemisi Suswam, said the peace forum would allow for open and fair 
interaction and exchange of ideas on the peaceful co-existence of the 
nation.<br />Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum 
(PDP-GF) and Akwa Ibom State Governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, who also 
spoke on the occasion, blamed ethnic bigotry and religious intolerance 
for Nigeria’s problems and urged women to instil strong moral values in 
their wards.<br />
