Ex-Militant Leaders 'Condone Corruption in NDDC' ~ Niger Delta Group

As allegations of corruption in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), said to be "characterized by inefficiency, misappropriation, mismanagement, and shady award of contracts," continue to cause outrage and frustration in the region, a Niger Delta group, the Niger Delta Amazons, has lashed out at ex militant leaders, "such as Boyloaf, High Chief Egberipapa and others, who are always in a hurry to visit the commission to pass a vote of confidence in a bid to curry favour." The group frowned at the thought that these ex-leaders "bother less in the face of distortions and absence of evidence on ground to justify trillions of naira received to address the backward and awkward state of infrastructure in the region. Spokesman for the group, Mr Minabelem Orukari who made this assertion while speaking to newsmen recalled that in 2019, ex warlords, Boyloaf, High Chief Egberipapa and other ex-militant had visited the corporate office of the commission in Port Harcourt to pass a vote of confidence on the three-member Interim Management Committee appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari to oversee the affairs of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

At 96, Mama Stella is Writing Herself into Police History

Image
By Lanre Olagunju At 96, Dame Stella Obuoforibo Okuyiga has found a way to outlive herself. Not through science or medicine, but through her book.  At the launch of The Origin of Police Women in Nigeria: The Story of the Pioneer Women Officers and My Journey in the Nigeria Police Force, the retired Deputy Commissioner of Police expressed excitement at the thought of her book living on in libraries across the world. Even when she is gone, she hopes her story will continue to speak.  On October 13, in Port Harcourt, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, Inspector-General of Police, joined her in preserving that history.

It was an opportunity for the Nigeria Police Force to confront a fundamental question: how well does an institution remember those who made its progress possible?  In 1955, the first 20 women joined the Force at a time when policing offered women limited opportunities. They entered unfamiliar territo...
