BREAKING NEWS: NAPTIP Raises Alarm, launches manhunt for suspect in Latest spousal Battery

 A manhunt is reportedly underway to apprehend, arrest, and detain a certain Mr. Alabi Uche Sylvanus, prime suspect, in the latest violent spousal battery, reported in the Federal Capital Territory, during which life-threatening injuries were said to have been inflicted on the victim, who was subsequently rushed to a popular hospital in Gudu District, Abuja, to save her life

Stories by Clement Ebaku and Lydia Samson, in Abuja.

Abuja, the Federal Capital is currently reeling from a recent despicable and brutal spousal battery allegedly perpetrated by one Mr. Alabi Uche Sylvanus (66yrs) who was said to have attacked and inflicted life threatening injuries on the victim; upon learning of the attack, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in persons (NAPTIP)swiftly moved into action and rushed to the hospital in Gudu District where the victim had been taken for emergency medical procedure.

The crack NAPTIP team remained at the hospital all through the duration of the medical procedure, during which the victim underwent surgery and resuscitation, and afterwards was transferred to an observation center for further examination.

Following the severity of the case, the NAPTIP team subsequently moved to the identified Jabi residence of the suspect and made several attempts to apprehend him, but were met with stiff rebuff from a certain military officer referred to as General Azi (rtd). And despite pleas from the NAPTIP team to be allowed to gain lawful entrance and apprehend the suspect, the retired general Azi refused to budge, claiming that such a matter was a mere “private family affair”, insisting that NAPTIP had no jurisdiction to intervene in such issues, vowing to resist further attempts to bring the suspect to justice.

Before NAPTIP could regroup, the retired general Azi was said to have organized and secretly aided the escape of Mr. Alabi Uche Sylvanus to an unknown destination, possibly in preparation to abscond from the country.

But NAPTIP, in order not to be outdone, has quickly raised an alarm and alerted key security agencies, the Nigeria Police, Immigration Service, and the Nigerian Military Command to help locate, apprehend, and bring the suspect to book.

A watch list alert to all relevant security agencies indicating the fugitive intent and possible attempt to flee the country anytime soon has been issued, and the Immigration Service has been notified to “flag” and restrict the suspect's International Passport from all Exit and Entry points in the country.

Meanwhile, according to NAPTIP’s Head of Rapid Response, Dr Emeh Magnus, a report has been lodged with the Inspector General of Police, the Chief of Defense Staff, on the involvement of the retired military officer and unauthorized use of armed personnel, which obstructed the immediate apprehension of the suspect.

NAPTIP is determined to ensure that violent cases of spousal battery do not repeat itself and is
bent on bringing Mr. Alabi Uche Sylvanus to justice.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets?

IRAN’S OBDURACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Iran’s revolutionary leaders appears bent on one course of action: Military confrontations! Where they are not combative enough, they are sponsoring rebellious groups, terrorists, especially the Middle East; it is doubtful if their television and radio stations broadcast any other message other than pouring invectives on Donald Trump or issuing annihilation threats to Israel.   The gulf channel has lately been added to their growing point of recalcitrance.     The government of Iran ought to do more on provision of social amenities, infrastructure, but the Ali Khameni group would only focus on assembling nuclear arsenals and only that.   The world is governed by laws but the Iranians resent this and seem to be more at home with crude tactics, guerilla warfare and testing missiles.   This is not the way to give the upcoming generation of Iranians a future to look up to.   They are in Syria, Lebanon and in Palestine struggling to equip Hama’s-- strangely ...
