PHOTOS: "WHY I JOINED THE POLICE FORCE"~~ NKEIRUKA NWODE

ASP Nkeiruka Nwode, Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra State Police Command is one of the new faces helping to give the Nigerian Police a new image. Nkeiruka who is the first female PPRO Anambra State Police Command - recently spoke with Anambra Broadcasting Service ABS on what motivates her and how she deals with all the attention. See below;

Handling the interest on her looks and dealing with the distractions.

It is amusing sometimes but instead of distracting me, it has always spurred me on because I believe it is my doggedness on the job that brought about the interest not beauty as some people allege after all I am not the only pretty officer or even the prettiest. As a PPRO, my forte lies in influencing positive comments about the police on social media.

Her reason for joining the police force

Having the interest of people at heart. My joining the Police was solely out of passion, as I had other job offers. Police job is service to humanity, and I want to make my contribution to my fatherland in that regard.

Life as a female police officer

Hmmmmm! It has been wonderful. I really enjoy this job and it has been my motivation to weather the storms of life though I will tell you it has not been easy since the profession is more of a man's world. It hasn't stopped me one bit and being a PPRO hasn't in any way changed my outlook on life but has given me opportunity to have better dealings with people. Today, I believe I am a better police officer than I was yesterday.

Mrs. Omotayo Salawudeen took Oladapo through the kitchen and hid him inside a store in their apartment. When the husband came, the wife signaled her guest (Oladapo) and immediately,Mrs. Omotayo Salawudeen used pillow to cover her husband’s mouth while Oladapo Dolapo, a musician from Ejigbo, stabbed him to death in his chest”, the CP said.

The duo of Mrs Salawudeen who had sometimes gone to her rival’s house with a petrol keg with a threat to burn her  down, and her partner in crime Oladapo Dolapo ,have been arrested and being subjected to further investigations.

"IF YOU WANT TO SEE MY RED EYES, CALL ME MATHEW"~~OBJ

Ex-President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has stressed that he has dropped Mathew from his names, even though it made it to his birth names, and those calling him that should stop as he’s no tax-collector.

The former Nigerian President who disclosed this at an event organized in his honour by the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) , said he dropped the name because of the Biblical character, Mathew, whom he was named after, was a tax collector.


“When I was born, my mother and father decided to name me Matthew. I grew up being called and addressed Matthew. What is the meaning of Matthew in the Bible? He was a tax collector,” he said.
“So, when I grew up, I dropped Matthew from my name. If anyone does not want to see my eyes red, no one should call me Matthew again. People ask, what is in a name? For me, there is so much in a name.”


“A doctor’s mistake often leads to the death of one patient,” he said.
“A lawyer’s mistake leads to the client going to jail. But if an engineer makes a mistake that leads to the collapse of a bridge or house, many people would lose their lives.
“That is why engineers must be very careful and must be efficient not to allow mistakes to be made.”

U.S.-BASED NIGERIAN PASTOR JAILED 15 YEARS FOR RAPPING TWO TEENS

US-based Nigerian pastor was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in prison for raping two girls in the basement of his church, Nydailynews reports.

Reuben Chizor’s victims were 12- and 14-year-old sisters and members of his Hope Restoration Ministries congregation in Queens Village. “The defendant took advantage of his position as a man of the cloth and the trust placed in him by his followers to satisfy his depraved desires.
Through manipulation and conniving control, he sexually abused his two young victims for nearly two years,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.

“What the defendant forced his victims to endure was horrendous — and as punishment he now will be spending a lengthy term behind bars.” Trial testimony last month revealed that on July 27, 2011, Chizor took the 14-year-old victim to the church basement, where he lived, and raped her.

On Aug. 22, 2011, he raped the 12-year-old. Chizor, 56, continued abusing one or both of the girls through May 2013, Brown said.
In July 2015, the girls confided in each other they’d been raped by Chizor, and police were notified.

GOV AMBODE SUSPEND BAALE OF SHANGISHA FOR FAKING HIS OWN KIDNAP

Governor  Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday approved the immediate suspension of the Baale of Shangisha in Magodo, Chief Yusuf Ogundare for faking his kidnap which allegedly took place on July 5 along CMD, Road in Ikosi-Isheri LCDA of the State.

In a memo signed by the State's Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Hon Teslim Folami, Governor Ambode directed Ogundare to stop parading himself henceforth as the Baale of the community till further notice.

According to the memo, Folami said: "I am directed to convey the approval of His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of the suspension of Chief Yusuf Ogundare, Baale of Shangisha with immediate effect."

Ogundare's suspension was approved by the Governor moments after the Lagos State Police Command paraded him alongside his younger brother, Mohammed Adams for conspiring to fake the alleged kidnap.

Adams, on the fateful day, reported the alleged kidnap incidence to the police, luck however ran out on Ogundare when he was apprehended by men of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Alausa area of the State on July 11 after he was dropped in a suspicious manner by a car which sped off immediately.

Lagos State Police commissioner, Owoseni, said the objective of the suspects was to falsely accuse the Oba of Shangisha as the brain behind the kidnapping, which they indeed did, as a vengeance to him being installed the Oba instead of Ogundare.

And also embarrassed the State Government and as well as security agencies for arresting him (Ogundare) when he falsely displayed the plate number of Oba of Shangisha on his car.
