Ebube Agụ, like Amotekun, won't fix the broken security architecture in Alaigbo.

For the umpteenth time, I advise Governors under the aegis of @NGFSecretariat to sue for the urgent Decentralisation of @PoliceNG into 37 Independent State Police & 774 Local Police Departments.
2/ Similarly, militia groups such as the Eastern Security Network (ESN) formed by @MaziNnamdiKanu can't fix the broken security architecture in Alaigbo. Such window gives rise to the formations of more militia groups by politicians & non-State actors.

Alaigbo will surely boil.
3/ Pending Decentralisation of @PoliceNG, Ag. @PoliceNG IG, Alkali Baba Usman must rid all roadways in Alaigbo of Police Roadblocks/Checkpoints which block the free flow of human/vehicular traffic; promote corruption, extortion, arbitrary arrests & police brutalities.
4/ Lagos-Owerri got over 100 @PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy, @CustomsNG, @FRSCNigeria Roadblocks.

A 2020 report by Int’l Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law, says rogue personnels, at gunpoints, extorted N306b at roadblocks between (August 2015-October 2019) across SE & SS.
5/ As at April 2020, there were 73,726 inmates held across Nigeria's prisons. 51,983 (70%), are held without trial. Only 22, 773 've been convicted.

Urgent change is needed, as these #UGM hitting prisons, roadblocks of extortions in Alaigbo might be obeying Malcolm X's quote👇
6/ On October 11, 2020, in a thread, I advised the @PoliceNG authorities to dismantle all illegal roadblocks/checkpoints of extortion across Nigeria's roadways, highlighting how the Police in saner climes make traffic stops.

Read and enjoy👇

7/ By Global Best Practices, effective policing is achieved via Community Policing, Intelligence Gathering, Motorised Surveillance, Tech, etc. Roadblocks/Checkpoints mounted by men & officers of @PoliceNG, etc, are needless. They fester #Extortion, #Corruption & #PoliceBrutality.
8/ END- The Fulani Herdsmen menace snowballing into another civil war, gave rise to Amotekun, Ebube Agu, ESN, etc.

If Nigerians feel this Federation is still beneficial, simply:

1. Ban Open Grazing
2. Decentralise @PoliceNG into 37 State Police & 774 Local Police Depts. #Shalom

THE URGENT NEED FOR A COMPETITIVE MEDIA INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA

Yesterday, I read the @StateDept report, saw uncountable angles and smiled.

@OfficialAPCNg-leaned media like @TheNationNews went to press with the #EndSARS angle.

Today, @GazetteNGR is giving us another angle👇
2/ In several threads, I've continued to advocate for a #CompetitiveMediaIndustry in today's Nigeria

As it operates in the U.S., Nigeria, particularly, during the First Republic (1960-1966), had a #CompetitiveMediaIndustry, when the Media leaned towards Political Parties.
3/ Nigeria's First Republic (1960-1966) had newspapers like the West African Pilot which leaned towards Nnamdi Azikiwe's National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC); @nigeriantribune which leaned towards Obafemi Awolowo's Action Group (AG)...

#NIGERIADECIDES2023: THE REAL ISSUE

Yesterday, @AriyoAristotle gave a scoop on the behemoth against the smooth passage of a clean #ElectoralBill towards a clean 2023 polls. The last 24hours, one had expected vehement reactions against SP Ahmad Lawan & his led @NGRSenate, zilch.
2/ At a public hearing, Dec 9, 2020, @NGRSenate & @HouseNGR assured the #ElectoralBill 'll be passed on or before March 31, 2021.

Today is March 30, 2021, but feelers from @nassnigeria, indicate the @DrAhmadLawan-led @NGRSenate ain't committed towards a clean elections in 2023.
3/ Irrespective of the political leaning, a clean #AmendedElectoralAct should concern you. Such Act should:

- Allow @inecnigeria call for nominations at least 360days to election & submission of candidates lists not later than 6months. This solves pre-election litigation issues.

BE GUIDED @MaziNnamdiKanu. Ahead 2023, restrategise to pull the political strings in Alaigbo with the #YouthPower you got.

Your men- ESN clashed with soldiers/police in Orlu axis leading to loss of lives. But innocent people are now charged for murder?👇

sunnewsonline.com/9-esn-suspects…
2/ Since Jan 22, 2021 that joint taskforce of @HQNigerianArmy, @PoliceNG & DSS invaded Orlu & its environs abducting innocent men & women, with 9 now being charged for murder, how many Igbo Politicians, paid with tax payers money- Govs, Senators, Reps, etc have reacted? ImageImage
3/ NONE! I've reached out to SE Senators to intervene on the @PoliceNG incarceration of innocent Umuigbo, but zilch.

Dear @MaziNnamdiKanu, conceding that ESN is a security stop-gap, it needs the legitimacy of law. Will cowards masquerading as leaders in Alaigbo support you? NO! ImageImage

Gov. @elrufai, you've lived in the U.S., UK, but learnt nothing. Why build roads without:

1. Speed Limits
2. Stop Signs
3. Traffic Lights
4. Yellow Lines Dividing Traffic in Opposite Direction
5. White Lines Dividing Traffic in Same Direction
6. Turning Lanes
7. Speed Breakers?
This is 2021. @NigeriaGov, @elrufai, other State Govs & LG Chairs must realise there are essential Roadway Signs, Traffic Signals, Pavement Markings which come with road constructions.

WAY FORWARD
Decentralise @FRSCNigeria. Let all 36 States + Abuja develop their own Road Rules. Image
FG, @kfayemi-led NGF & LG chairs should stop behaving like illiterates. Build roads with:

- Deep, Closed Drainages
- Walkways
- Streetlights
- Regulatory Signs: e.g., One Way, Stop Sign.
- Warning Signs: e.g., Pedestrian Crosswalk, School Signs
- Guide Signs: e.g. Route Markers Image

#DAY42: March 5, 2021 is exactly 42 days since Rev. Paulinus Offor, presiding minister HPICC, Umudim-Okporo, Orlu LGA, Imo State was abducted by @PoliceNG authorities.

@Govhopeuzodinma & CP Nasiru Mohammed should unconditionally release this innocent man to his church & family. ImageImageImageImage
2/ Rev Offor was abducted when a joint taskforce of the 34 Brigade, Owerri; 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha & the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response wrongly invaded HPICC Okporo during its morning devotion, on Friday, Jan 22, 2021.

ATT: @frankmbablog @PoliceNG_CRU ImageImageImageImage
3/ In search of ESN, the taskforce in what was an intelligence error invaded HPICC, Okporo Jan 22. The team lead acknowledged this error, asking for a ceasefire. 42days after, why is Imo CP Nasiru Mohammed still incarcerating Rev. Offor, mulling to charge him on trump-up charges? Image

SEARCH FOR JUSTICE?
Dear @Govhopeuzodinma, you're aware of d Jan 22, 2021 invasion of Jude Okporo's church in Okporo, leading to the abduction, illegal incarceration of Rev Paulinus Offor. Offor is an innocent man, not a terrorist nor murderer as alleged by the State & @PoliceNG. ImageImageImageImage
2/ Since the 1960s, Jude Okporo's church has contributed largely to the spiritual, economic growth & development of Imo State, & Nigeria at large.

Dear @Govhopeuzodinma, do use your good offices to secure the immediate release of Rev Offor. The wrong place was invaded on Jan 22. Image
3/ I'm aware Personnel of the 34 Brigade, Owerri; 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha, as well as the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team acknowledged they invaded the wrong place on the said day. If that was the case, Rev Offor shouldn't be incarcerated till date. Image
