Abakaliki prisons inmates demand to cook in their cells, smoke indian helm

Inmates of the Abakaliki Federal Prisons in Ebonyi state are demanding to be allowed to cook food in their cells, choose their Provost, take indian helm and move about unrestricted in the facility.
This was disclosed to newsmen yesterday by the State Comptroller of Prisons, Adaobi Oputa, who described the activities of the inmates as an act of agitation.
She stated that the prison environment was condoned off by the prisons officials to forestall any likely break down of law and order.

According to Oputa, “What happened was an agitation. We rushed down there and condoned off the environment to forestall any break down of law and order. It was based on their requests. This is a normal thing. They want to choose their own provost, they complained about DCP and called for his removal; they need indian helm among others”.
Recall that men of the Ebonyi State Police Command had in August foiled a jail break attempt by inmates from the Abakaliki prison. The prisoners had staged a protest over poor treatment and inadequate feeding, allegedly disarmed a prison officer in the process. http://dailypost.ng/2016/08/18/police-foil-jailbreak-attempt-abakiliki-ebonyi-state/
The prison boss, who complained how some mindless individuals throw in Indian helm through the perimeter fence of the prison, added that the prison officials were on ground to curtail such excesses.
“We have over 900 inmates. They are both convicts and awaiting trials and the persons causing most of the problems are the awaiting trial inmates. The situation has been brought under control as I talk to you now,” she said.

I lure children with sweets, fried yam – Kidnap suspect

The Abia State Police Command, Friday paraded a suspected child trafficker identified as Roland Egbe.
Egbe, upon interrogation reportedly confessed that he bought fried yam to attract the two kids he allegedly stole from their parents.
The suspect, who claimed to be a ticket seller at Oyigbo in Rivers State, said he handed the children over to his friend identified only as Uche, who in turns sold them to one Chioma Ohajimadu and Mrs. Comfort Ogbonnaya who reside at No. 69, Ososu road, Aba.

In his confession before newsmen while being paraded at the police officers mess in Umuahia, the state capital, Egbe said, “Uche introduced me to child trafficking business and persuaded me to get a child urgently as a buyer was already waiting to pay for the child.
“One evening, about two weeks ago, I went to eat at Oyigbo roundabout, Uche started calling me repeatedly to get the child he told me to bring but I told him that I know the parents of the child I wanted to bring to him and I don’t want to hurt them.
“He insisted that I should bring the child, so after speaking with him, I asked him to come around and wait for me. Then I went to where the children normally gather to play around the area because the little boy, Marvellous Heart, normally comes to me each time I am around his mother’s shop.

“When he saw me that evening, he ran to me and l bought sweets for him; from there, I carried him and met Uche, who was waiting for me at a distance. That was how we took the boy to Aba. He gave me N50,000 only and promised to pay me the balance later.

“But after some days, the woman that bought the boy started calling me to complain that she doesn’t want the boy again, that we should bring another child for her. That was how Uche forced me to go and steal another child for the woman.
“The second time, I saw some children around a spot where they sell fried yam around Imo River and bought some fried yam for them. When I was leaving, I left with one of them.”
Parading the suspects, the state Commissioner of Police, CP, Adeleye Oyebade, said “Egbe was earlier arrested and paraded for child trafficking on December 7, 2016, before the operatives attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad at Obehie rescued the four-year-old Heart stolen about two weeks ago.
The CP warned parents to monitor their children closely and warn them to stop accepting gifts from strangers and people around them this Christmas period.

He remarked that the incident caused pandemonium in the area and disrupted free-flow of traffic for several hours along the busy road.
“Women, especially, wailed on beholding the mangled body of the young skater as those who claimed to know him said that he had been warned repeatedly by his parents to desist from practicing the sport on express roads.
“A mob gathered to set the articulated vehicle aflame but the police quickly intervened and brought the situation under control.
“The corpse was eventually evacuated to a mortuary in the town as security agencies restored normal flow of traffic along the road,’’ he said.
Mrs Eugenia Umeh, a youth activist, regretted the incident and called for stringent measures by the government to stop youths from skating on the roads in the state.
“The State House of Assembly should immediately pass a law prohibiting such practices while parents and other stakeholders should enlighten youths on the dangers of skating on the roads.
“The deceased has brought untold anguish and pains to his parents and relations as this should serve as a lesson to others to desist from such practices,’’ she said. (NAN)
