How two marshals were ruthlessly killed in Lagos, Kaduna – FRSC

…condoles with deceased families

Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Biu, has decried rising cases of knockdown of road marshals during patrol duties.
He spoke against the latest ruthless killing of two operatives of the corps in Lagos and Kaduna states while on patrol assignments at the weekend.
This is contained in a statement on Monday by the Corps Public Education Officer at the FRSC, Assistant Corps Marshal Bisi Kazeem.
He gave some chilling details of the incident and the identities of FRSC operatives killed.

He said, “A Deputy Chief Road Marshal Assistant (DCRMA) A Ajomole, was diligently carrying out his lawful patrol duties at the Iganmu Bridge, in Orile, Lagos State on 16 September, 2023 at exactly 1416HRS on the day the sad event happened; while Road Marshal Assistant I (RMA I) Hamidu Idris was detailed on patrol activities in Dutse Outpost, Doka Local Government Area of Kaduna State on 12 September, 2023 at exactly 0915HRS.

“Crash investigation reports revealed that on the said day of the Lagos crash, Ajomole was attending to an offender who drove a Cabstar (Lagos taxi), when suddenly a Mack truck conveying a container lost control and hit the Cabstar he was attending to.
“The impact of the crash on the Cabstar forced the operative to hit his head on a stationary tanker parked by the roadside and died on the spot.
“On the other hand, Hamisu was on his way to impound an arrested offenders’ vehicle, when the driver pushed him out of the vehicle, and hit his head on a stone; a situation that led to his untimely death.
“As a result of the rising spate of these unfortunate incidents involving the deceased and others who faced similar fate in recent times, Dauda Biu also reiterated his call for caution amongst patrol operatives in the discharge of their duties.” He also used the opportunity to warn drivers of all categories of vehicles to observe all traffic rules and regulations as well as avoid bad road use behaviours that trigger crashes on our roads.
The corps marshal also sent his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, on behalf of the management and the entire staff of the corps, over the sudden demise of the operatives.

Recall that a coalition of civil society organisations had demanded an allocation of $1 trillion from the Federal Government for the cleanup of the Niger Delta and compensation for the loss of livelihoods, before the resumption of crude oil production in Ogoniland.

The demands were tabled in a statement signed by the organisations including Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria, Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa (CAPPA), and Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF), while expressing concerns over the Nigerian government’s reported plans to resume oil production in the community.

The group described the move as a disregard for environmental justice

The statement highlighted the historical environmental degradation caused by oil activities in Ogoniland, documented in the 2011 UNEP report, which revealed widespread pollution of land, water, and air.

The group expressed disappointment that the government has yet to fully implement the UNEP recommendations or prioritize the cleanup of the region.

Police officer found dead in Abuja hotel after meeting online lover

A tragic incident unfolded in the Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, as a police inspector, identified as Lawal Ibrahim from the Kwali Division, was found dead in a hotel.

The unfortunate event occurred at Palasa Guest Inn last Thursday morning after the inspector reportedly met with a woman he had connected with online three months prior.

According to reports, the inspector had invited the woman, identified as Maryam Abba from Dutse, Jigawa State, to join him at the hotel. Eyewitnesses revealed that the pair checked into the hotel on Wednesday evening and engaged in intimate relations.

The following morning, around 6 a.m., they reportedly had another round of intimacy, after which the inspector began breathing erratically and became unresponsive. Alarmed by his condition, Maryam tried to revive him by sprinkling water but to no avail.

She quickly informed the hotel manager, Danlami Palasa, who contacted the Gwagwalada police division. Officers arrived at the scene to find the lifeless body of the inspector. His remains were later taken to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, where doctors confirmed his death.

Authorities recovered several items from the hotel room, including watermelon, a suspected aphrodisiac drug, a phone charger, and the deceased’s police identity card. Maryam has since been taken into police custody for questioning as investigations into the cause of death continue.

A police source from the Gwagwalada division confirmed the incident and assured the public that efforts are underway to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the inspector’s death.
