Badagry residents protest over demolition of houses

Residents of five communities in Olorunda Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Badagry Lagos State, on Friday protested the demolition of numerous houses in their area, which left them displaced. They took their protest to the Lagos State House of Assembly in Ikeja, where they urged the lawmakers to come to their rescue. Mr Charles Adu, the Spokesman of the residents, said that the state government should urgently come to their aid because of the hardship the demolition had brought on them. He also said that though the state government had written them a notification letter on the impending demolition of houses at Agemuwo and Agalato communities, the exercise was extended beyond the areas. Adu said that the residents were surprised at the extension of the demolition to Muwo Phase Two, Araromi-Ale, and Atiporomeh communities. He said that they believed that an unknown personality, who had been using the police to intimidate the residents, had engineered the demolition. Adu said that 250 policemen invaded the communities on Dec. 14, 2013 to effect the demolition of their houses. The spokesman said that the displaced residents now lived in churches and mosques under terrible conditions. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the protesters also threatened to go on hunger strike at the Assembly premises, until their demands were met. Addressing them, the Speaker, Mr Adeyemi Ikuforiji, who was represented by Mr Segun Olulade, Chairman House Committee on Information, Strategy, Publicity and Security, commended the protesters for their peaceful conduct. “I thank you for having hope when it seems there is no hope. “I want to assure you that the House will speedily investigate the matter to a logical conclusion by the grace of God. “We are not a government that derives joy in inflicting pains on those we serve,” the lawmaker said. Ikuforiji said that since the residents had exonerated the Ministry of Physical Planning from the demolition, the Assembly would identify the faceless people behind the act. “You might not need to go on any hunger strike before justice would come your way. “So, I want to enjoin you to go back to your homes while you have two or three representatives that would stay behind for a meeting over the matter,” he said.

Police: Yale Safe After Possible Gunman Hoax Call

 Police: Yale Safe After Possible Gunman Hoax Call

Yale University was locked down for nearly six hours Monday as authorities investigated a phone call saying an armed man was heading to shoot it up, a warning they later said was likely a hoax.

SWAT teams searching the Ivy League campus didn't find a gunman after a room-by-room search, and the lockdown was lifted Monday afternoon. No one was injured, police said.

"New Haven is safe. The Yale campus is safe," New Haven police Chief Dean Esserman said.

A 911 call was received at 9:48 a.m. from a man at a pay phone about a mile from the campus who said his roommate was on the way to the university to shoot people, Officer David Hartman said.

Esserman said he was leaning toward the incident being a hoax and a witness who reported seeing someone with a rifle likely saw a law enforcement officer.

"Though it is starting to tilt in the direction of an innocent mistake, it started with a purposeful and malicious call," Esserman said, vowing to track down and arrest the person who made the call.

Authorities don't believe that the caller was a Yale student or that his roommate attended Yale, Esserman said. There was nothing specific about the threat, he said, and the call lasted only seconds.

Classes aren't in session this week, and many students and staff members left campus for the Thanksgiving holiday following Saturday's traditional football game against Harvard.

But many students were still in their dorm rooms, Hartman said, and Yale authorities sent out their first warning about half an hour after the 911 call.

"The Yale police made the right call," Esserman said. "They went to immediate lockdown to keep everybody safe."

Yale advised students and staff members to shelter in place. It also issued an advisory asking people off campus to stay away. The shelter advisory was lifted by late afternoon.

Police blocked off several streets near the university's Old Campus, in the heart of New Haven, where they were concentrating their search. Several local schools also were placed in lockdown. Police in tactical gear entered several campus buildings. Pedestrian traffic in the normally bustling area was sparse, with cold and windy weather keeping many people indoors.

The response included several police departments, the FBI and other federal agencies, Hartman said.

Police had difficulty gaining access to some rooms because those people locked inside weren't convinced they were dealing with law enforcement, he said. Most rooms don't have peepholes. Yale sent out an email telling community members that officers would be slipping a Yale ID under the door or using keys to gain access.

Undergraduate classes are set to resume Dec. 2

Yale has been the target of violence in the past. In May 2003, a bomb damaged an empty classroom and adjacent reading room at the law school.

A Yale professor, David J. Gelernter, was seriously injured in 1993, when a bomb mailed by Theodore Kaczynski, the man known as the Unabomber, exploded in his campus office.

Monday's search came several weeks after a scare on another Connecticut campus.

Central Connecticut State University was in lockdown for several hours Nov. 4 after reports by witnesses of a masked man carrying a gun or sword.

Police arrested a student, David Kyem, who said he had been wearing a ninja-like Halloween costume and meant no harm. He faces charges including breach of peace.

D’banj & his woman, Jennifer Obayuwana part ways

Oh dear,  koko master, D’banj and his boo of eight months, Jennifer Obayuwana are no longer together.

A new report from Maestromedia indicates so.

The news portal reports thus:

“Jennifer Obayuwana is the fashionista daughter of the very stylish Mr. John Obayuwana, the MD/CEO of one of Nigeria’s topmost Luxury company, known to all as POLO LTD.

In fact Jenny or J-Wonder, like most who know her prefers to call her, is the very hardworking, globe-trotting Executive Director of the 5-star company.

Since she took up more powerful executive role in her father’s company (which includes CAT Construction), which in a way she practically runs now, it has been an upward swing unprecedented for the brand, with many world renowned watch brands the likes of Rolex, Breguet, Cartier, Hublot, Gaga Milano etc coming on board and having very strategic relationship with Polo Ltd, all of these successes kudos to the gorgeous & hardworking Jennifer.

All the while she was having great successes on the business front, she was also seemingly having fun on the love front then with her then beau D Banj.

Since Dapo Oyebanji aka D banj, aka Banger Lee, the only Eja Nla in Nigeria let it slip sometime ago that he & Jennifer were in a love relationship, loads & loads of media frenzy followed the revelation.

To some then, it was like it was a match made in heaven; With D banj being the most visible Nigerian entertainer in the world and an eligible bachelor at that, whilst Jennifer, is also an eligible bachelorette, one that is being primed to take over her father’s multimillion dollar rated company.

Everyone was thinking it would be like one of those happily ever after love stories we get to read about in all those novels. With many openly exclaiming how wow it was that finally, someone of Jennifer’s pedigree was the one, that had finally won the heart of such a player as D banj.

 But alas, after only a few months of the whirlwind romance, which many had thought might have led to one of the weddings of the year, the steam in the love relationship seem to have totally evaporated, the once celebrated love has since waned and in its place just a platonic friendship remains; with both sides just there for each other, to support each other as friends any which way they can.

Jennifer, who only just returned a few weeks ago from a short course at the Columbia Business School, Manhattan, New York, USA where she had gone to brush up on her knowledge of business, preparatory for some bigger challenges ahead, has since moved on to pasture new.

According to some little information we could gather, the very very busy schedule of the duo, coupled with some ‘other factors’ might have been the reason(s) for the break-up. Now unlike sometimes ago in the immediate past, when it was always stress coupled with so much anxiety for Jennifer while the relationship was still hot hot, it has been more of bliss and contentment now for her now, since both have parted ways and moved on. ”
