WARNING:- This Post is for Educational Purpose only, It will help Nigerians different the Bad from the Good police.

SAFETY TIPS ON HOW TO IDENTIFY FAKE POLICEMEN AT A GLANCE.

In the time we live in; we must learn to deal with it.

1. Number tag of a real policeman must be six digits, less than six, is fake.

2. Only female police officers have their numbers begin with “0”, any policeman with number beginning with “0” is fake.

3. Every policeman’s name tag is woven to the shirt, no more removable name tags.

4. A distinction between the normal policeman and the SPY (supernumerary) police personnel, is that a SPY number must be either three or four digits with the word “SPY” boldly inscribed on their uniform shoulder. Please, at night be vigilant, always roll-up your windows in traffic,central lock your doors, be double sure they are true policemen, if they are not, be strong and speed off. Never get frightened. Be watchful, they are everywhere; educate your family members,neighbors, and friends. GOD Almighty will continue to protect us.

Remember elections is coming. Beware of fake police.

 

ASCON OIL RELEASES STATEMENT ON LEKKI FIRE THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY

Ascon Oil on Thursday released a statement on the fire that occurred at the Ascon Petrol Station in Lekki Phase 1 today.

The statement titled, Ascon Oil Fire Outbreak: No Life Lost, Fire Contained, was released via the company’s Facebook page:

The fire incident at ASCON OIL filling station at Lekki Phase 1 this afternoon has been contained. Contrary to earlier speculations, the main building and the reservoirs are unaffected. The incident emanated from a discharge at the point of offloading product from a tanker, engulfing two tankers and some vehicles parked by the road side.

It was an accident compounded by the current fuel scarcity in the country with ASCON OIL being one of the few stations with a reliable steady supply even in times of scarcity.

 No life was lost to the incident, the pumps are intact and emergency fire service officers were already on site containing the flames as at the time of this report.

ASCON OIL wishes to reaffirm its commitment to serving its customers even in the face of accidents of this nature for which a company of its pedigree is always prepared. 

Residents and passers-by showed solidarity with the company as they contributed in no small way to contain the flames.

MY FATHER NEVER WANTED ME IN ENTERTAINMENT + OTHER SHOCKING CONFESSIONS BY — TOOLZ

Since Tolu Oniru known simply as Toolz came back from the United Kingdom with a degree  in Business and Mass Communication from the London Metropolitan University to take up a job in the broadcast media, things have been on the up and up for her.

The vivacious beauty who was born in Lagos to the famous Oniru family of Lagos is respected as an on-air-personality for her blend  of natural humour, love of most things, showbiz, passion for music and strong African entertainment knowledge.

In this interview with Potpourri, Toolz lets us into her world. Excerpts:

It’s been over three years since you moved back to Nigeria from the UK, how has it been? Are there any regrets?

I moved in 2009 actually. It has been one of the toughest but most rewarding journeys I’ve been on (and still on). I try not to focus on regrets. I miss constant electricity, hate Lagos traffic, but I believe I have made an impact here that I wouldn’t have, if I had remained in the UK.

People feel you have gotten to this height in your career, so quickly, because of your privileged background; what is your response to this?

That is not true. For the first 12- 18 months of my career, a lot of people didn’t know my surname, and were not really aware of my ‘privileged background’.

My family have been supportive, but they don’t really get involved – my father wanted me to be a doctor/lawyer, so he wasn’t particularly thrilled with my decision to get into entertainment. Now he sees me on TV, in magazines, hears me on radio and he respects how hard I have worked. He never wanted me in entertainment.

Now let’s talk about your career, what do you think about the current direction of the media industry?

I started doing radio, and have been doing that for over four years, so I’m definitely more comfortable there. Television needs more focus, skills etc., but it is still very enjoyable.

  
However, I think the Nigerian media industry is still very young, and over the next years we can expect lots of developments. More choice, more content, better quality content and different ways to access Nigerian entertainment

When you started out, did you have any map for your career trajectory? If yes, has it gone according to plan?

Getting on radio happened accidentally, it was my first radio gig, and I wasn’t sure I was any good. In fact I was certain I would be fired in three months, but that didn’t happen. My career was initially on a ‘plan-as-I-go’ basis, but now I try to plan more and set more long term goals.

The last season of  The Juice featured a lot of celebrities, which celebrity or guest story has inspired you the most and why?

Pretty much, all the celebrities have inspiring stories to tell. They have had to overcome different things to get to where they are now, and each story is inspiring. All were exciting in different ways -some because the guests said things they shouldn’t have, and some because the guest was absolutely hilarious. Presently, we are working on making sure The Juice is available to an even wider audience

What is it like being a top female media personality? Are the challenges different on account of your gender?

There are definitely challenges as it is still a male dominated industry, but things are gradually changing.

How did you get the job as a host for The Juice? Was it based on a recommendation or did you go for auditions?

No audition! I got a call and they told me about the project, fast forward a year or so, and here I am!

What is the next big thing for you and what keeps you going?

The next big thing for me is under wraps now, but what keeps me going are my goals, and my need to make a positive impact in the industry.

How would you describe your style (fashion& dress sense)?

My dress sense is very womanly and comfortable. I wear what I think suits me and what is comfortable.

What is your typical day like, from dawn to dusk?

On weekdays, I’m up by 8am – if I don’t have any meetings before my radio show, then I am at the Beat FM  from 11am till 4pm. Most days, I will have to film (for The Juice or any other projects) or have a meeting or two. My day often ends at 9/10pm.

How do you unwind?

I love to sleep! Reading also helps me unwind – a good crime thriller normally helps me forget a stressful day.

Which city, country, would be a choice holiday destination for you and why?

I’ve never been to the Caribbean, so I would love to go to the Bahamas for the beaches, relaxed island life and cocktails!!

ROBBERY ATTACK:- RESIDENTS OF CALABAR RESORT TO JUNGLE JUSTICE, KILLED 20 THIEVES IN MONTH

Since the beginning of 2014, criminals have been on the onslaught in Cross River State especially in Calabar, the state capital, attacking and dispossessing residents of money and valuables.

Reports of nocturnal visits by criminals particularly, in Calabar South neighbourhoods have become a recurring decimal. As a result of this ugly development, many residents have been forced to form vigilante groups to take over the security of their streets and neighbourhood. And as expected, when security is in the hands of people who are not trained in security issues, extra-judicial killings and jungle justice becomes the order of the day, and that is what is happening in Calabar currently.

In the past few weeks, in an effort to protect themselves, angry mobs and vigilante groups have apprehended and lynched over 20 criminals. The year opened with the lynching of two female robbery suspects and their male accomplice who attempted to snatch N1.5 million from a woman.The robbery suspects said to be undergraduates and their male partner were battered and stripped naked at Murtala Mohammed Highway/ Atekong Drive and before the police arrived, the young man who was inflicted with a deep machete cut on his forehead had died. The gulf car they used was set ablaze and pushed into a drainage.The gang reportedly ambushed the businesswoman who had gone to withdraw N1.5 million at a bank along Calabar Road, near the Watt market, where they approached her to join their cab. The woman who appeared eager to arrive home because of the money she had withdrawn, immediately accepted and boarded the taxi.

Trouble started as she got to her destination only to discover that the taxi driver became unwilling to allow her alight from the vehicle. Subsequently, the bandits reportedly brought out a gun and ordered her to cooperate with them if she did not want to get hurt. “They told me to co-operate with them and quietly hand over the N1.5 million or I would be killed; Suddenly, I became angry in my spirit because this money is contribution money and my members would not believe me that the money was stolen.

So, I was ready to die and I began to raise alarm. ”In a related development, on Monday, February 10, 2014, two robbery suspects were butchered along Mayne Avenue/Atu/ Marian roundabout and their operational vehicle, a Volkswagen Vento car set ablaze about 10am. An eye witness who gave his name as Asuquo narrated to Crime Guard how the thieves, operating in a Vento car as taxi, picked up a lady who had just collected some money at a new generation bank along Murtala Highway.

“The lady was going to Goldie, so they took her through Target and when they got close to this place, they snatched her bag and pushed the woman out. She started screaming and luckily, some cars that were passing blocked their car and the thieves were trapped.” He said when the thieves saw that they had been trapped, they simply wound their car glasses and remained inside because the place is a busy roundabout and an attempt to escape would have been fruitless. So, they simply remained inside the car. “I used my hand and broke open the car glasses and dragged out the boys and some people came with machetes.”The thieves, Asuquo narrated, were inflicted severe cuts before the arrival of a team of policemen from the Atakpa Police Division and they taken into custody. In the same vein, another suspected criminal was also killed along Okpo Ene Street and his corpse dumped at Abasi Obori market.

The suspect, said to be a member of a three -man gang was said to have rented a taxi on charter. When they got to Okpene /Mayne Avenue, they ransacked the vehicle and robbed the driver. ‘The driver raised alarm and some people went after them and one of them was caught and lynched,” he stated.*Lynched suspect Also at Anantigha, two suspected robbers operating in a tricycle popularly known as keke NAPEP were killed and their tricycle set ablaze by angry mob. Earlier in the week, another suspected notorious criminal was apprehended by members of the vigilante along Uwanse Street and when he was about to be lynched, he pleaded that his life should be spared so that he would take the police to the hideout of his gang. “That night, he led a team of SARS to their hideout and four other suspects and their weapons were apprehended by the police. A resident of Uwanse, Mr. Akpan Udo-Ekpo told Crime Guard that they decided to confront the criminals since the number of hoodlums has increased tremendously in the city.

“These boys have become too many and the police cannot be everywhere, so we have to combat them ourselves if we must live in peace in this city, ”he said.Mr. Udo-Ekpo said before now, they used to apprehend criminals and hand them over to the police but such hoodlums later find their way out and return to terrorize people. Another resident, Moses Etim said they decided to form vigilante groups to tackle the high crime rate in the area to protect themselves.“We formed vigilante to protect ourselves from these criminals and we will continue to do so until we have peace. ”Mr Hogan Bassey, the spokesman of the Cross River State Police Command said the police were aware of the several incidents of jungle justice and advised residents to report cases of attack to the police and not take laws into their hands. “We are aware of these cases; you know incidents of ‘one chance’ robbery have become rampant in this city and we are not resting in our efforts to make the city crime free.”
