Social Media: Police warn mischief-makers to steer-clear of Enugu

The Police Command in Enugu State has warned mischief-makers using social media to cause disaffection to steer-clear of the state.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Ebere Amaraizu, gave warning in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Sunday.

““The Command’s attention has been drawn to information in the social media that large herd of cows and some herders were escorted peacefully out of Nenwe community of the state on June 29 by youths believed to be from Nenwe.

““The Command further wishes to update members of the public who may have been misinformed with the state of things.

““On receipt of this information, the Commissioner of Police in the state directed that an investigation into the alleged development and that preliminary enquiry be conducted immediately.

“”It was revealed that such situation never existed and that it was only the movement of cattle and herders from Cross River, through Uburu in Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi and a neighboring town for grazing.

“”That the herders and their cattle were on transit and has nothing to do with escorting out of herders and cattle out of the said community,’’ he said.

The police spokesman said pieces of social media information in circulation had been viewed to be the handiwork of mischief-makers who wanted to brew rancour, panic and fear as well as sow seed of acrimony and instigate violence.

““The commissioner of police enjoins all to be law abiding and go about their normal lawful businesses.”

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
