A 33-year-old man, Mr Volt Gabriel, has been arrested by the police in Delta State for allegedly beheading his 20- month- old son, Godspower Gabriel, for ritual purposes, Delta Police Commissioner, Mohammed Ali has said.
The police Commissioner said the incident occurred at Peanut Junction, Obeh village, Edo State.
Ali, in a statement, said a woman Mrs Success Oduwa 24 yr old reported the disappearance of her son to the police.
He said the victim’s mother sought the whereabouts of her son from her husband after a fruitless search, who lied that the boy was with his sister in Warri.
He said a police team at Warri “B” Division swung into action and arrested the suspect.
He said the suspect confessed to having murdered the child using a hack saw and burying the head by a palm tree while throwing away the headless body.
According to Ali, the suspect claimed he was instructed in a dream by a man to kill his son, and that he will become wealthy if he rubs his head with his son’s blood…

I just read Barrister Azubuike’s post and I want to say, I completely agree with it.
Writing petitions both to the police as well as EFCC against Fab Que, one of the partners who arrested Ovaoiza, demanding she accounts for the money some partners sent her to use in ‘pushing’ the case, is very wrong move especially because of the TIMING.
Here is why;
Aside from being the one who arrested Ovaoiza, Fab Que has been the one interfacing directly with the Police from the day this case was officially reported to the law enforcement agency. She practically relocated to the FCT and most of the leg work about the case, she has been the one doing it. You need no prophet to tell you she must have given police some part of the money some partners donated to her. There is no way the EFCC will treat the petition against her without dragging the Police into the mess.
The same police that not only arrested Ovaioza but has continued to use different court orders to keep her detained for over a month now despite her health challenge and pregnancy-related issues. The same police that has recovered most of the assets Ovaoiza acquired with the partner’s fund. And most IMPORTANTLY, the same Police the partners are relying on to prosecute Ovaoiza under the new law that has provision for restitution for victims of fraud, which is the only way partners stand a chance of getting back part of their capital.
It is a very unwise move for the partners to take any action that will create bad blood between them and the Police, especially now. If that happens, you can be sure the only person that will gain therefrom is Ovaioza. And remember, she is still in possession of all the assets and funds acquired from partners. The court order with which the police took possession of those things is only temporary. It doesn’t mean those assets have been finally taken from her until the court decides, or she agrees to forfeit them as part of a court settlement with the partners.
If these partners’ writing petition against Fab succeeds, police can, as a way of getting back at the partners for the embarrassment, decide to deliberately lose the case in court. And there is nothing anyone can do other than come to Facebook and lament and trade blame. Even to appeal, it is still the same record of proceeding at the lower court that will be transmitted to the appeal court and I can assure you, the Police will have no will to do that. They might even decide to focus on getting justice for society without a care as to the victims. Remember, if the police succeed in jailing Ovaoiza, that would be justice for the state or society, but that is certainly not justice for the partners who are the victims because the only thing the partners consider justice is getting back their money or what is left of it.
This case has become a public interest case. A lot of people who are not even partners have been doing a lot to see that comprehensive justice is done to all those affected. Even this Barr. Azubuike has contributed significantly to so many breakthroughs recorded in the case so far. The way he is pushing this thing from behind even when he has no dime inside, I doubt any of the partners have made a quarter of such effort. All of these will likely be in vain if those people writing petitions do not pause and review their priorities.
To be clear, I am 100% in support of holding Fab Que accountable for any funds donated to her for this case. There is absolutely nothing wrong with accountability. I’m just saying the TIMING is wrong. Proceeding with the petition against Fab Que now will certainly affect the Police, which will, in turn, turn them against the partners.
THIS IS THE SUREST AND FASTEST WAY OF HELPING OVAIOZA GO SCOT-FREE.
The 5k, 10k, 20k, and 50k some partners sent to Fab Que should not be prioritized over the BILLIONS of naira Ovaoiza took from the same partners which the Police has made appreciable progress towards its recovery
Keep your eyes on the ball, which is seeing this matter to its logical end. If you have means and connections with the EFCC or the office of the Attorney General, please use that connection to get Ovaoiza to vomit all the money she scattered in assets and bank accounts. This should be the most important thing for now. When this is over, you can now hold Fab Que by the blokos and get her to account for every penny donated to her account for this case.
The lifelines of so many people are currently at stake here. So many families are anxiously and earnestly waiting for justice to be done in this case. If you care about those helpless families, you will not do anything that will alienate the Police from the partners

In the 1980’s and early 1990’s, crime in New York was at an all-time high. Thousands of people in New York were literally getting murdered every year. The murder rate reached its peak in 1990 when 2,605 people were killed in New York City. Then in 1993, a tough talking former prosecutor named Rudy Giuliani became New York’s mayor. Giuliani decided to make Bill Bratton his police commissioner. Bratton had previously been the police commissioner in Boston. Bratton then implemented the “Broken Windows” theory and the crime rate plummeted. Every single year since Bratton took over, the murder rate fell further and further. It continued to fall even after Bratton was ousted by Giuliani and fell even more when Bloomberg took over for Giuliani. 683 people were killed in 2012. This is a sharp decline from 2,605. Seems like this “Broken Windows” theory is amazing. Unfortunately its not.
The “Broken Windows” theory came from two social scientists named James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling. The theory poses a hypothetical situation. Imagine a street that has a building with a broken window in it. If it is perceived that no one cares about it, people will not think twice about breaking more windows. Once more windows are broken then ne’er do wells will inhabit the building and do things that ne’er do wells do, like drugs. And once people start to do drugs, drug dealers show up and start killing people. The murder rate then goes up all thanks to a broken window know one cared to fix. The point is that all society had to do was fix the one broken window and none of that other stuff would’ve happened. It is utter nonsense. But why do so many people still adhere to it?
The NYPD implemented the theory by arresting people for committing low-level crimes like subway fare evasion and marijuana. Crimes that cops typically used to ignore. This perception, that the police would not tolerate any laws being broken, is supposedly what deters people from committing more serious crimes. The theory, however, is nothing but a modern take on an old logical fallacy. The fallacy is called “post hoc ergo propter hoc.” The phrase is latin for “after this, therefore because of it.” It’s basically the confusion between causation and correlation. Just how ancient people used to think that dancing made it rain and how less ancient people used to think that eating ice cream caused polio, and just how people today think that cold weather causes colds, some people think that the “Broken Windows” theory reduces crime. Proponents of the theory say “look at the evidence.” The crime rate was at an all-time high, the theory was implemented, and the crime rate plummeted. How can you ague with that? Easily.
If you look at a chart that shows the months when people eat the most ice cream and the months when people drown the most, one can see they correlate very closely. An assumption can therefore be made that perhaps eating ice cream causes drowning. Of course, a more intelligent person would see that people simply tend to eat ice cream in warmer months and they tend to swim in warmer months as well. Since more people swim in warmer months, more people drown. This fallacy is easy to see in preposterous situations, but it is much more pervasive. Some think heat waves cause crime (people are out more when its hot and the more people are out, the higher likelihood of crime). Others think full moons make people crazy (before modern technology eliminated this, you could actually see at night better during a full moon, therefore people who were up to no good could do more nasty things at night). Most people today think cold weather gives them colds (people are more likely to be inside with windows closed during the winter months, therefore the germs from a sick person are more easily communicable). There are countless examples of this fallacy.
To a defender of the “Broken Windows” theory, I sound just like the tobacco industry that argued that there was no evidence that cigarette smoke caused the cancer in all those former smokers who died. After all, it’s very difficult to overcome the correlation/causation issue. This is true, but when event A correlates so closely to event B, you can make a very educated guess that event A causes event B. Lung cancer used to be incredibly rare. The fact that it was so rare in non-smokers and so common in smokers is what made it so clear that smoking actually caused the cancer. There seems to also be overwhelming evidence that the world’s climate was substantially different before the Industrial Revolution than it is today. This has tipped the scale in the debate regarding global climate change. But where’s the proof when it comes to the “Broken Windows” theory? There simply isn’t any other than this chart. What it shows is a spike and plummet in crime that is likely a result of the crack epidemic that subsided. The murder rate in New York City in 1965 looks eerily similar to murder rate today. Where was this magical theory in 1965? Moreover, the crime rate fell all over the United States in a strikingly similar way as it did in New York. Most of the country didn’t adopt this theory. So why are we so adamant about defending it? The theory, when adopted in other places, did nothing to lower crime there.
The problem I have with this theory is it is used to justify a military-style occupation in poor neighborhoods. By making police officers approach their work in an in-your-face style, it creates a severe distrust of the police in the community. Moreover, just about everything in New York is illegal. You may not know it, but so many absurd things are illegal in this city. As a result, the police have tremendous discretion in making arrests. Jaywalking is punishable by 15 days in jail. So is putting your foot up on the subway. Riding your bike on the sidewalk could land you in jail for a year. The “Broken Windows” theory could be used to justify all of this. Unfortunately, these laws are being enforced disproportionately in certain neighborhoods and against the will of society. And sometimes people die. We can have the debate about whether the death of Eric Garner is acceptable collateral damage for a theory that has made New York City so safe. But its a false debate.

CALABAR—Nemesis, yesterday, caught up with a 27-year-old serial rapist, Stephen Nyong, a native of Ikono Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, who resides at 18b, Inyang Edem Street, Mount Zion, Calabar, as he was arrested by youths of the community.
Vanguard gathered that Stephen and his gang, who have been on rampage terrorizing women in the neighbourhood for about a decade, intensified their nefarious activities by visiting almost every compound each night since the beginning of this year, where they rape women and girls.
According to the village head of Ndom Ndang, Muri Okon Effiong, who spoke with Vanguard, the gang has been operating in his domain for a very long time. He said: “As the custodian of this place, the chief and I took a decision to deal with them and we have arrested one today (yesterday).
“He and other gang members have raped over 60 girls. He alone had defiled over 20 girls this 2015. He has been chased in more than three compounds but was not caught. His sins have caught up with him today.”
Chief Effiong revealed that Edem doesn’t only rape the girls but also makes sure he stabs and injures them as well as cart away any valuable within reach.
“It was last Sunday night’s attack that got the youths in the area enraged and they decided to lay siege for him and their kingpin on our instruction. Unfortunately, the leader of the gang, who is now at large, is responsible for grooming them over the years,” the monarch said.
According to a resident, Mrs Agnes Ubong, who also spoke with Vanguard, the suspect was a brutal rapist who showed no mercy to any of his victims as he stabbed them with his dagger after defiling them.
“After defiling my neighbour, Mary and her roommate, he stabbed both of them on the head and he also took their phones and N8,000 from them. They were both taken to the hospital this morning (yesterday),” she said.

C O N F I D E N T I A L SECTION 01 OF 02 LAGOS 000369 SIPDIS CAIRO FOR POL – MAXSTADT E.O. 12958: DECL: 02/20/2013 TAGS: PGOV, PINS, PINR, ETRD, NI SUBJECT: LAGOS STATE GOVERNOR'S VIEWS ON IRAQ, NATIONAL ELECTIONS, AND AGOA Classified By: ACG ROBYN HINSON-JONES FOR REASON 1.5 (D)
1. (C) Begin summary. Lagos State Governor Tinubu told ConGen and DAS Bridgewater February 16 that he has asked the Lagos State Assembly to issue a resolution declaring that no new construction be permitted along "Embassy Row" on Victoria Island. Tinubu assured ConGen that he will do all he can to ensure protection of consular and diplomatic personnel in Lagos. He shared our view that the dispute with Iraq relates to weapons of mass destruction, not Islam, and he is confident that most of his co-religionists share this view. Tinubu pledged to work closely with the legislators who will be elected or re-elected to the National Assembly to secure passage of a customs bill, inaction on which has prevented Nigeria from benefiting from AGOA. Tinubu disclosed antipathy for President Obasanjo, but praised Vice President Atiku Abubakar, whom he has known for many years. End summary.
2. (C) During a luncheon for visiting DAS Pamela Bridgewater February 16, Lagos State Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu assured the DAS and accompanying ConGen that his office will do all it can to ensure protection of the Consulate in the event of war with Iraq. Tinubu added that he has asked the Lagos State Assembly to issue a resolution declaring that no new construction be permitted along "Embassy Row" on Victoria Island. With a view to the longer term, he will seek the Assembly's approval to designate the Walter Carrington Crescent a diplomatic zone. Such action would help ensure the safety and security of diplomatic missions remaining in Lagos.
3. (C) Tinubu expressed concern about Al Queda's nominal designation of Nigeria among the countries that need to be liberated from the grasp of American imperialism. Tinubu asserted that the vast majority of his fellow Muslims are neither sympathetic to Baghdad nor extremist Muslims. Nigeria's moderate Muslims have great sympathy for the United States, he said, and they know that the issue between Iraq and the United Nations relates to weapons of mass destruction, not Islam. The Governor said Al Queda's message was meant for agitators who might jeopardize Nigeria's unity and development.
4. (C) Regarding security in Nigeria, Tinubu said he expects that even if war breaks out few people will be incited to hold pro-Iraq or anti-US demonstrations in the southern states, particularly Osun, Oyo and Lagos. He said the politicians do not want international politics to detract from their mobilization efforts for the spring elections. Tinubu (himself a Muslim) has been meeting with Muslim leaders who will not support anti-US activities. He promised that any agitators would be "checkmated". The situation is different in northern Nigeria, he said, where it is politically expedient for moderate politicians to support Sharia. He expects violent demonstrations specifically in Kano, Kaduna and Jos.
5. (C) Tinubu senses that the United States has not maintained the momentum in its positive engagement of Islam that it had shown shortly after September 11, 2001. Lately, US media outlets have not shown enough concern for Muslims in the coverage of the impending conflict with Iraq. US coverage of the issue has been too intellectual when it is very emotional in the Muslim world. This fact has given Iraq a propaganda edge over the US. Tinubu perceives that the USG has not done a very good job explaining its cause to the Muslim world either. Most Muslims, he said, believe President Bush is "simply finishing his father's business." Even Tinubu, a staunch US supporter, doubts the validity of the US argument.
6. (C) Turning to the presidential contest, Tinubu disclosed that he does not like President Obasanjo because he contributed to the end of democracy in Nigeria during his tenure as a military president and is now benefiting from that history. That said, Tinubu admitted that he and his party, the Alliance for Democracy, must support Obasanjo. Southwest Nigeria is Yoruba land and the President is Yoruba. Tinubu"s party had no choice since it has not fielded a presidential candidate. Moreover, Obasanjo is the only candidate who stands a chance of blocking his rival, General Muhammadu Buhari, whose ethnocentrism would jeopardize Nigeria"s national unity. Buhari and his ilk are agents of destabilization who would be far worse than Obasanjo. Tinubu and many other governors are therefore implementing a strategy to re-elect Obasanjo, partly in an effort to prevent Sharia from spreading. Tinubu predicted that the President will follow his own course, if re-elected, since he will not need as many friends the second time around.
7. (C) Tinubu praised Vice President Atiku Abubakar, whom he has known for many years. Tinubu warned that former military strongman Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and National Security Advisor Aliyu Mohamed will try to discredit Atiku. That effort will fail, Tinubu predicted, because Atiku has the support of the governors and the National Assembly. Elaborating on his knowledge of the VP, Tinubu said he has known and understood the VP even before his entry into politics. Atiku is a detribalized politician who knows where he is going and how to build bridges to get there. Tinubu expects Atiku will play a larger role in the next presidential administration, especially in economic affairs, while Obasasanjo will concentrate on external relations. Atiku may also assume responsibility for other domestic portfolios in the next administration.
8. (C) Tinubu bemoaned the fact that Nigeria is not benefiting from the textile provisions of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act, and claimed partial responsibility for this situation. He said he had not pressed his fellow governors to exert pressure on the national legislators for enactment of a customs bill mandating country-of-origin certification of inputs that might go into Nigerian textile exports to the United States. Since Lagos State manufacturers could benefit substantially from the AGOA textile provisions, Tinubu plans to press for quick passage of the customs bill. He believes the next legislature will passed it soon after it convenes in late spring 2003.
9. (C) Bio comment. Tinubu is direct, articulate, and a sharp analyst who understands accommodation. He acknowledges the imperative of political compromise in the game for power, even with political actors whom he might be inclined to denigrate. Tinubu credits his going into politics to Atiku's personal encouragement. Tinubu's admiration of Atiku suggests that the Governor could be persuaded to play a national role in an Atiku administration if the VP were elected president four years hence.
10. (U) DAS Bridgewater did not clear this cable before her departure from post. HINSON-JONES

About 15 million under-aged Nigerian children are engaged in child labour, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), has said.
Its Technical Adviser, Mr Krishna Kukkikate, said the figure is out of the 48 million, which engaged in child labour, in sub-Sahara Africa.
Kukkikate, told The Nation in Lagos, that while child labour continues to decline globally, it keeps increasing in Nigeria and other African countries.
He said about 215 million children are engaged in child labour globally, while 115million out of the 215 million are involved in hazardous work. However, Asia and Pacific figures have been reduced by 96 million, while Latin America’s is down by 10 million, stressing that in the case of Nigeria and other sub-Saharan African countries, the figures keep increasing.
He cited persistence poverty increase in the population, cultural and religion practices and illiteracy as some of the challenges causing child labour.
He said about eight million of the child labourers are males, while about seven million are females, adding that they fall within the five- and 14-year-old bracket.
Kukkikate said the vulnerable children work in the homes of a third party or employer, carrying out tasks, such as hawking, farming, cleaning, ironing, cooking, gardening, looking after other children and caring for the elderly.
He said they are vulnerable to physical, psychological and sexual violence and abusive working conditions, while they are often isolated from their families, hidden from the public eye and become highly dependent on their employers. Besides, they are also mostly sexually exploited and abused, he said.
His words: “The situation of many child domestic workers, not only constitutes a serious violation of child rights, but remains an obstacle to the achievement of many national and international development objectives. There are worsening situation of child labour in Nigeria just as in other African countries.
“Child labour is a general problem in Nigeria and Africa. There are some countries in Africa where one out of four children, are in child labour and many of those are in child domestic work. We find this in mining, agriculture. When you try to remove child labour from one area, they tend to go to another area, and domestic workers fall into one of those.
The ILO chief explained that most of its actions are area specific, and when you are addressing child labour, you are addressing it in all its different forms. It is in very extreme situation in some countries, and there has been some very good progress in others, he said.
He called for concerted and joint action at the national and international levels to eliminate child labour in domestic work.
“We need a robust legal framework to clearly identify, prevent and eliminate child labour in domestic work, and to provide decent working conditions to adolescents where they can legally work,” he said.

Condemnations have continued to trail the deportation of over 70 Nigerians said to be destitute from Anambra state by the Lagos state government.
A Human Rights group, Youth and Conflict Resolution Initiatives, YCRI, described the action as cruel, irrational, lawless, a crime and violation of the inalienable rights of those that were deported.
According to the group, the action challenges the legitimacy of the federation.
While condemning the attack, YCRI in a release by its Director of International Relations, Mr Efemena Agadama, said such barbaric acts should not be allowed to continue and called on the federal government to sanction Lagos state to forestall a recurrence.
“The federal government should sanction the Lagos state government for deporting Nigerians from Lagos state to Anambra state even when most of the deportees were not from Anambra state. That cruel and condemnable action violated the inalienable rights of those Nigerians that were deported and also challenges the legitimacy of the federation.
“This shouldn’t be about the Igbos but about Nigeria as it is an infringement on the sanctity of laws and the inviolability of the federation. To forcefully and inhumanely deport any citizen of Nigeria within the territorial integrity of Nigeria is irrational, lawless and a crime. It should never be justified or accepted
“On the unending defence of the illegal action by the Lagos state government and the Lagos state chapters of the ACN and CNPP, we view the act as a direct replica of what Nigerians suffer in foreign countries when being deported by immigration officials.
“Why should a reasonable state government arrest people from the streets, incarcerate them for over six months and later drive them, in their tired bodies, hundreds of kilometres across several states just to dump them in Upper Iweka Bridge at midnight?
“What is the legal or moral defence in deporting poor people from the streets where they are a bit safe only to dump them in a vulnerable place at midnight where they are totally unsafe? Why did they choose 3am of all time if what they did was legal, fair and rational?
“We won’t be silent in the face of gross human rights abuses. If the Lagos state government could deport Nigerians within the territorial integrity of Nigeria, what then do we expect foreigners to do to Nigerians living in other countries where immigration officials most times could be inhumane?
“We do hope that the Presidency, National Assembly, and the judiciary will put politics aside and uphold the sanctity of the laws of the federation and that the Lagos state government will stop defending the illegal act and find ways to support the deportees who have been rendered vulnerable at Upper Iweka Bridge.
“ This will prevent other states from copying such lawless acts that could lead to widespread anarchy and hatred within the federation”, the group reiterated

LAGOS — A Nigerian, Jacob Ajomale, who alleged that he was maltreated by the United States’ Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, officers, by forcefully inserting a tracking device (chip) in his body through his anus, has petitioned the United Nations Council on Human Rights over alleged inhuman treatment meted to him.
Ajomale through his lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, SAN, claimed that the chip was inserted in him in December 2010.
Jacob Ajomale
Falana in the petition to the UN, is urging the world body to direct the United States to remove the tracking device from Ajomale’s body with immediate effect.
Besides, Ajomale has also sued United Airlines and the Nigerian Minister of Internal Affairs before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, demanding $100 million and N100 million damages for the violation of his fundamental rights to dignity of human person and right to mental and physical health as guaranteed by Sections 35 and 41 of the Constitution and Articles 6 and 12 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act.
His arrest
Ajomale had averred in an affidavit that he has been living in the United States since April 12, 1997 with a visiting visa and became a permanent resident in February 2008, and never had any criminal record all through the period.
According to him, on January 22, 2009, he travelled to Nigeria for his father’s burial and on his way back, he was arrested on February 5, 2009 by one officer, Derrick, at the BWI Airport in Baltimore, Maryland, kept in a cold room for nine hours, where he was tortured in order to make an incriminating statement of using falsified passport in 2001.
He was subsequently arraigned, tried, convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment at the DC jail and Rivers Correction Centre, all in North Carolina.
Second arrest
According to Ajomale, he was released back to the community on August 11, 2009 at 7pm, after being cleared by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, but surprisingly, he was arrested again by the same officer, Derrick, on August 15, 2009 on the ground that his release from detention was a mistake.
He said: “While in detention at Worchester Detention Centre Snow Hill, Maryland, an ICE officer, William Malone told me I could be released but it was going to cost me money. I told my lawyer about it who reported to senior ICE officers. Investigation was carried out and Officer Michelle Rawlings interrogated me and promised to get back to me, which she never did. Afterwards I became the target of all the officers.
“I was hospitalised on July 12, 2010 at Atlantic hospital for sinusitis and body weakness, but was discharged without adequate treatment. I was maltreated by three officers, who flung me on an empty steel bed, and I put in a grievance report concerning the issue. In August, 2010, I was moved to Frederick Detention Centre, Maryland, and the same aggression continued against my person. I felt some vibration on my bed and reported to the authorities but no action was taken.”

Part of What you are seeing in the picture are the rosted bodies of five of the 2012 Batch A Corps Members that had accident three weeks ago, on their way to Taraba State Orientation camp at Ilesa/Akure Exp — with Muyiwa Oyedokun and 49 others.ress way. The spirits of these unfortunate corps members are calling for attention, unfortunately our government turned deaf ear to the agony of these lost souls.
10 Corps Members posted to Taraba State were in the bus, 5 were burnt to dealt while 5 sustained serious injury and presently hospitalised. The dead have been given a mass burial by the FRSC. I am sure you may be thinking that NYSC or Govt is taking responsibility showing care for the dead and those in hospital. If you share that thought….you are wrong.
I visited one of them at Wesley Hospital, Ilesa, Osun State over the weekend and my heart bleeds for the Nigeria. Our governments are responsibly irresponsible. These guys are abandoned there at the hospital. The hospital, despite being a federal hospital, the parents are made to bear the huge medical expenses.
For your information, the accident was caused by FRSC officers (Osun Command) pursuing an Okada man who ran into the express way and caused commotion.
Just imagine the agony and trauma in the homes of the dead ones…… The pains of the guys in hospital….. The emotional shock by these parents……
Are you thinking what I am thinking? An injustice to one, is an injustice to all. We must not leave these parents to suffer in vain. These are fresh graduates going for National Youth Service These are parents once happy their children were going to service their father land.
Do they deserve the neglect by the government? If your answer is NO….. If you are feeling what I am feeling….. Then join your voice with mine to speak for the voiceless
Kindly click on like and share it on your wall or tag your friends. Lets circulate this testimony of our government act of irresponsibilty; Lets cause them to stand up for their responsibility. Pls help to spread this, and if you need detail information to take direct action on this, kindly inbox me.
