              CP Ayuba Ede Archives - Global Sentinel 


Unidentified gunmen has attacked the Abudu community in Kogi state killing  14 persons and 6 injured. 13 of the dead persons are from the same family. 

The state commissioner of police, Ede Ayuuba, disclosed this to the newsmen in Lokoja, Kogi State. The State Commissioner also said that there have been long standing communal feud in the community.



The Police Commissioner said, “This morning around 2 am, my Area Commander called me to report that he received information that there was an attack on Agbudu community.

“I called the SSA on Security of the Local Government in Koton-Karfe and I said that before I get there, he should mobilise his vigilante men to assist the police – the DPO and the Area Commander in the area – for them to assess the place and see what assistance they could render.”

“I was there and I was part of those who picked some of the dead bodies we are talking about.”

“Yes, 14 people were killed and about six others were fatally injured. The saddening thing is that out of the 14 dead bodies that were brought out, 13 were from one family.

“In that family, it is only one person that survived. His uncle, his mother, his uncle’s wife, his younger brother, his senior brother’s wife, his wife and all his children were killed,” he said.

“What I think is, there has been a long-standing communal problem around that area which we are not clearly seeing, but we know that it would not be far from it.

“Presently investigation is in progress. The only person that survived the attack is already with us and he is helping us, the chief of that place is also helping us and some other spirited individuals.

“The Ohimege of Koton-Karfe, Alhaji Abdulrazaq Isa-Koto, is also helping us, the local government and all the personnel are helping us.

“We are sure, God helping us, we are going to get to the root of all these things that are happening.

“In the interim, I want to give the assurance that we are not going to relent in our efforts. We will make sure we get to the root of anything that is behind the killings,” he said.

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

Image
40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina.

"From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship."
