A Catholic priest, Father Cecilio Perez Cruz, has been killed by a gang for refusing to pay ‘protection fee.
Vatican News reports that the deceased was 38 years old when he was shot dead by a gang member as he slept in the parish rectory.

The shooting occurred on Saturday, May 18, 2019 in the night in El Salvador. Father Perez was the parish priest of San José la Majada, in Sosonate Diocese near the Guatemala border.

His body had three bullet wounds, and was found in his room by a group of parishioners who had agreed to meet him at 5am for morning prayers.
Besides his body was a hand-written note signed by the Mara Salavatrucha gang saying “he did not pay the rent.”
The Bishop of Sonsonate, Constantino Barrera, who has asked for prayers for Father Perez, expressed his grief and praised the work the priest was doing with his parishioners saying he was close to the people.

The Government of El Salvador condemned the murder and expressed its condolences to the priest’s family and to the Catholic community.

In a statement it also said new orders have been issued to security forces to make sure the priest’s killers are brought to justice.
The murder rate last year in the Central American country of El Salvador was 50.3 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, or 9.2 murders a day.

LEAH SHARIBU AND THE NOTHINGNESS OF CHILDREN'S DAY CELEBRATION

Oko

By Ogar Emmanuel Oko

In a couple of days to come, being 27th May, our beloved nation— Nigeria shall be joining other comity of nations in celebrating the commemoration of Children's Day. That day is specially set aside to mark and remind all and sundry, all that pertaining to children.

Leah

While other nations shall be cerebrating in its actual sense, Nigeria will only mark the day for formality purpose as there's absolutely nothing to joy over with the children.

95 years ago since the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the child was proclaimed. Mr. Eglantyne Jebb, a British social reformer and founder of the Save the Children Organization had earlier drafted a document for the promotion of child rights after his death on 17 December 1928 in Geneva, Switzerland which was later adopted by the League of Nations in 1924 and afterward extended in 1959  and 1989 by the United Nations.



These rights include but not limited to:
1. The child must be given the means requisite for  its normal development, both materially and spiritually.

2. The child that is hungry must be fed, the child that is sick must be nursed, the child that is backward must be helped, the delinquent child must be reclaimed, and the orphan and waif must be sheltered and succoured.

3. The child must be the first to receive relief in times of distress.
4. The child must be put in position to earn a livelihood, and must be protected against every form of exploitation.

5. The child must be brought up in the consciousness that its talent must be developed to the service of its fellow men.

In 2003, Nigeria adopted the Child Rights Act to domesticate the convention on the Rights of the child. The legislation was enacted at the National Assembly; but obviously became insignificant at the State Assemblies.

It's a common knowledge that the rights of every Nigerian child are guaranteed in the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights; Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Banjul African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. Sadly, these rights are of no effect on the health, socioeconomic, religion and political wellbeing of the Nigerian child.The rights of children in the Nigerian constitution are frequently not enforced when child's rights are trampled upon.

The Miracle Foundation enumerated 12 basic rights of a child as follows: 1. The right to live in a family environment; 2. The right to a stable, loving and nurturing environment; 3. The right to healthcare and nutrition; 4. The right to clean water, electrical power and safe environment; 5. The right to a quality education; 6. The right to equal opportunities; 7. The right to guidance from a caring adult; 8. The right to be heard and participate in a decisions that affect them; 9. The right to be prepared for active and responsible citizenship; 10. The right to be protected from abuse and neglect; 11. The right to spiritual development.

The aforementioned rights appeared to be functional outside the shore of Africa and certainly not in Nigeria. In Africa, our children are at the centre of what physicist calls magnetic field effect. They're at the centre of civil unrest; religion crisis, famine, drought and most forms of natural or man-made disasters. They're the most vulnerable. They're the vivid victims of political instability and governmental malfeasance. They form the colony of street urchins. They hawk articles from dawn to dust. They scavenge to earn a living. They're abused and molested as servants in servitude. The girl child is often raped by her so-called guardian or employer.

In the morning, the homeless and out of school would have pigs and dogs to contend with like the prodigal child for food. At noon, they've vultures to contend with if they must've access to the crumbs in the wheelie bin of the neighborhood. At night, most times — cold and mosquitos are their dependable or perhaps unwanted companions. They're readily drenched by June's downpour; panged by hunger and finally scorched by the biting blaze of sunlight in November.

We should only celebrate 27th May if and only if the following questions are answered: Are the hungry children in our land fed? Are the backward children helped? Are the delinquent children reclaimed? Are the orphans and waifs (homeless) sheltered and succoured? Are the children protected against being exploited? In times of distress, are the children considered first for relief? Is child labour a crime? Are the children given compulsory free universal basic education? Is government living up to expectations?

The girl child is the major target of kidnappers and bandits. She's kidnapped and have her maidenhead bruised and broken and later forced into unsolicited marriage. Chibok girls' travail is still fresh in our mind. We don't know if Leah Sharibu is dead or alive. But the government promises never to rest on her laurels until Leah and co are released.

The FCT has finally demolished Caramelo Night club over hijab stripper. She went viral after someone took her photos and posted them online. Not happy with a stripper wearing hijab, the FCT authority quickly moved to clamp down on the nightclub, arresting some of the strippers, which we later learned were raped by some of the policemen who were involved in the arrest.

The FCT Authority said Caramelo was originally supposed to be a hospital. Why they demolished the structure is what most people don’t know. A lot of Abuja residence are however outraged over the demolition. Residents are saying Abuja is not a Sharia State and that the FCT went too far with the demolition of Caramelo. “Why not just seal off the place? Why demolish it?” Chinelo asked. “Because what anger them are the photo of a stripper wearing Hijab, nothing else’s.”

Some people have said that the FCT Minister who hasn’t done much and is said to be one of the worse Minister of the Buhari administration is doing this to be in the papers and attract the President’s attention to retain him.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) this morning invaded and demolished Caramelo Lounge, one of popular night clubs in Abuja.



The demolition is happening weeks after officials of FCTA struck and arrested some persons in various night clubs within the nation’s capital. A garden which hosted one of the night parties was reportedly demolished also.



Initial reports says the lounge was pulled down after the FCTA’s claim that the club is located in a residential area and its use as a nightclub violates the Master Plan of the city.

“Immediately they saw that the blood did not stop, they abandoned him and ran inside their station".

Residents of Okota in Isolo local governmnet area have accused men of the Lagos state police command of killing Aliu Rafiu, a motocycle rider in the area.

Information show that Rafiu, was on his way to work in the early hours of Wednesday when he was killed for refusing to pay the police men a bribe of N100.
The video of the incident has since gone viral.

A resident, Adebayo Ishola, explained that only commercial tricycle riders were allowed to ply the road where the victim was found.

He explained that because commercial motorcyclists were banned from using the road, policemen usually extorted money from those who plied the road.
Ishola said Rafiu had been chased and caught by two policemen namely; Monday, and Ekene, as the former hit the victim with a baton on the head.

Ishola said: “This morning when we saw the body on the road, there was another motorcyclist at the scene. The motorcyclist said two policemen, Monday and Ekene, were responsible for the man’s death.
“Another person confirmed the presence of Monday at the scene. They were trying to extort money from the rider after he was apprehended. Monday used the butt of his gun to hit him and he fell. Blood started flowing from his head.

“Immediately they saw that the blood did not stop, they abandoned him and ran inside their station. I heard a motorist who drove behind the motorcyclist saying Monday and Ekene were the culprits”.
Another witness, who identified himself simply as Shola, said he was on his way to work when he witnessed the scene.

Shola said: “I was trying to board a vehicle when I saw the motorcycle rider in a pool of blood. I mmediately alerted the police to the scene because no policeman was outside at the time. When I told them that there was someone on the floor, they rushed outside, put him inside their vehicle and rushed him to hospital”.
In the viral video, a policeman is seen approaching a motorist, who claimed to have witnessed the incident to query him on what happened.

“The okada man was going on his own. He chased him; yes, he chased him. I know him (the policeman). He is tall, dark,” he said before driving away from the scene.
The man filming the video could be heard cursing the police as he announced the area where the incident happened.
Rafiu was confirmed dead at the Isolo General Hospital.

However, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, in a statement, said the police had no hand in the death.
Bala said: “The attention of the Lagos State Police Command has been drawn to a video being circulated on the social media in respect of a commercial motorcyclist said to have been chased to his death by a police officer. The allegation is false and a complete misrepresentation of the facts.
“On Wednesday, May 8, 2019, around 6am, the police at the Ago-Okota Police Station heard a loud sound a few meters away from the station and rushed out to ascertain what was going on. They found a motorcyclist in a pool of blood with his motorcycle on the ground. The victim was taken to hospital, but eventually died.
“On inquiries from eyewitnesses around the scene, it was gathered that the motorcyclist was involved in a fatal crash with a vehicle along the Ago Palace Way.
“An eyewitness, Mr Adedayo Benson, stated that this morning (Wednesday), he was standing in front of the Century Hotel and saw the motorcyclist, who was riding at top speed, ram into a road bump and suddenly applied his brakes but was hit by a Camry car driver, who was behind him.

“The driver of the Camry ran before the arrival of the police. Investigation into the accident is ongoing to track and apprehend the driver of the car with a view to bringing him to justice”.

His friend has now taken to social media to explain how Sopulu was a bright student during their secondary school days and had the dreams of joining the Nigerian Army.

He further revealed how Sopulu’s senior colleagues at NDA beat him to a pulp, getting him injured so badly that he could not continue with his dreams of becoming a soldier.

If Sopulu dies by hanging in Philippines, Nigerian govt caused it” – Friend narrates story of Nigerian man caught with N125 million worth of cocaine


Read what he shared below.

“I can’t keep in this, Sopulu is a product of the Nigerian System. If Sopulu dies by hanging in the Philippines it’s because of the Nigerian government.

“I know Sopulu he is like a brother to me he is in his early twenties. When he was is secondary school he was the senior prefect of university secondary school Nsukka. His only goal in life was to serve the Nigerian Army. He got accepted into NDA and he was a Cadet until he was beaten and his legs broken by senior Cadets in NDA and was given a month to heal and when his kneel couldn’t heal he was not allowed more time by the Army.

“He was not able to continue with his dream to become a soldier. That was when he left the country… if the military was not gruesome in their treatment of beating their fellow cadets to the extent of severe physical damage, this would never had happened.

“This is the story of a 22 year old Nigerian now facing death penalty in Philippines.”

Two black snakes have forced the Liberian President George Weah out of his office.
This has made the former world and African best footballer to work from his private residence since Wednesday.
According to the Press secretary, Mr Smith Toby, the two black snakes were found in the foreign affairs ministry building, Weah’s official place of work.
In view of this, therefore, all staff have been told to stay away until 22 April.
“It’s just to make sure that crawling and creeping things get fumigated from the building.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosts the office of the president, so it did an internal memo asking the staff to stay home while they do the fumigation”, Mr Toby said.
The office of the president has been based in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since a fire in 2006 gutted the nearby presidential mansion.
However, workers tried to kill the snakes but did not succeed.
“The snakes were never killed,” Mr Toby said.
“There was a little hole somewhere through which they made their way back.”
Recall that similar incident happened in Nigeria when his Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari left the country for about three months on a medical ground.
Following the three months period of disuse, rodents caused a lot of damage to the furniture’s and interiors in his office, making it impossible for him to operate from the office in that condition.
However, Police and presidential securities were seen guarding Mr Weah’s residence in the capital Monrovia.
A fleet of vehicles including escorts jeeps were parked outside. Mr Toby said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has started to fumigate the area.
“That building has been there for years now, and because of the drainage system, the possibility of having things like snakes crawling in that building was high”.
The president is definitely returning to his office on Monday after the fumigation, whether or not the snakes are found and killed, Mr Toby said.

There was pandemonium in Iyemero Ekiti, in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State in the early hours of Monday when suspected herders unleashed mayhem in the area.

Two people allegedly lost their lives while three other persons were seriously injured during an attack with many displaced from their residences by the assailants.

An eyewitness said one of the dead was Mr Danjuma Ali, a farmer while the identity of the second person, whose body has been deposited in the morgue of the General hospital, Ikole Ekiti is still sketchy.

Those undergoing treatment at the emergency section of the Federal Teaching Hospital (FETHI), Ido Ekiti include Mrs Jennifer Akoko , Mr Joseph Achebe and one other victim.

The source said: “It has happened again today; it has been a recurrent killing. Some herders called Bororo stormed the farmstead and shot those innocent people.

“They came around 1 am and were there till dawn. Our farmers are all afraid to go their farmsteads.

They all rushed to the palace of Oba Ebenezer Agboola Ogungbemi, the Olu of Iyemero Ekiti to take refuge.

“We are mourning today at Iyemero; we are not happy about this incident and the government must do something about it,” the source said.

The Olu of Iyemero , Oba Ogungbemi and Olu-in-Council, restated their calls for the establishment of a police station in the town to curb the activities of the vampires.

The monarch, who spoke through the palace spokesman, Chief Ariyo Abejide, said there was an urgent need for the teeming population of farmers in the farmstead to be protected and secured by the security agencies from another imminent attack by the marauders.

“These Fulani herders stormed the community through the border of Iyemero at Eruku in Kwara State. This makes Iyemero a porous exit and entrant; this portends danger and insecurity for the community, Ikole local government and the state in general.”

OBUBRA—A bloody communal clash between the people of Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State and their neighbours from Osopong 1 & 2 in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross River State is feared to have left 3 persons dead, 3 severely injured and scores of houses reportedly set ablaze.

The bloody clash which was said to have erupted on the 24th of March, 2019 has reportedly left the communities in Osopong 1 & 2 deserted by the Izzi people as the people were said to have fled the community.

Consequently, the people of Obubra have sent a save our soul, SOS, to the Cross River State Government to urgently rescue them from being wiped out by Izzi people.

According to the Mbembe People Assembly, MPA President, Hon King Omenyi from the area informed weetalknaija Blog that “over 3 persons have been killed, 3 severely injured in the fracas while several houses and yam banks worth millions of naira have been set ablaze in Ofonekom, Idoru and Ijutum communities.

“After that, they went and reinforced and launched an unprovoked attack with sophisticated weapons, killing and destroying houses. The casualties we have recorded in this attack are only on our own side. If the government fails to intervene immediately, our communities may be wiped out because of the tension coming from the Wawas".

“We want the government to bring the National Boundary Commission to, as a matter of urgency, come and demarcate our boundary with Ebonyi State as the best permanent solution to constant clashes between us and the Ebonyi people,” Omenyi said
