13 people including a naval officer burnt beyond recognition in a fatal road accident in Port Harcourt

At least, 13 persons, including a naval officer lost their lives in a fatal road accident when a Hiace bus loaded with 14 passengers was involved in a head-on collision with a pail loader along the Emohua area of the East-West Road in Rivers State.  

According to reports, most of the passengers in the bus who were travelling to Lagos on Thursday morning, were burnt beyond recognition as the bus went up in flames, presumably due to the impact of the collision.

The pail loader, it was learnt, skidded off the road and swerved onto the path of the oncoming bus.  A woman, who was identified as a naval personnel, was among those who lost their lives in the road accident, which happened after Choba Bridge.  

Sources said the bus had loaded at Rumuokoro in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State and was almost getting to Ahoada before it collided with the pail loader. Confirming the accident, the Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Nnamdi Omoni, said the only survivor had severe burns and had been rushed to a nearby hospital.  

Omoni said, “I got the report of a fatal motor accident after Choba, along the East-West Road, where a pail loader skidded off the road and had a head-on collision with an oncoming bus. The bus was conveying passengers to Lagos. The bus went up in flames and all the passengers, except one, were burnt beyond recognition. The person who survived had severe burns and he is said to be in the hospital for medical attention while the charred remains of those burnt had been gathered and taken to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital for preservation.”  

The police spokesman, however, said a team of security operatives had been dispatched to the accident scene in order to forestall a breakdown of law and order.

“Operatives of the Rumuji Police Station are there on guard and trying to ensure that there is no security breach as a result of the accident and also to prevent anybody from taking advantage of the situation to perpetrate crime,” he said.

Bank of Ghana issues scam alert of popular businessman, Nana Appiah Mensah ahead of his launch in Nigeria

Bank of Ghana alerted the public via a publication in national dailies, to be wary of activities of the companies of one of its wealthy enterprenuers, Nana Appiah Mensah warning that “anyone who transacts business with the company is doing so at his or her own risk”.

According to reports, Nana and his team have already committed huge funds to announce their arrival in Nigeria with the launch of 2 of his businesses, MenzGold and Zylofon Group with a concert in Lagos on August 24.

The Bank of Ghana in the notice also hinted of impending sanctions, saying after several cautions to MenzGold, it has started discussions with relevant regulatory authorities to sanction them for breaching the law.

However, in a response to the BoG notice, Mensah branded the central bank a joke for attempting to use his business as a cover-up for the collapse of banks in the country.  

And few days ago, the news that the country’s anti-corruption agency is going after Nana over the activities of MenzGold hit the front pages of National newspapers in Ghana as the EOCO (Ghana’s version of Nigeria’s EFCC) has invited Nana for questioning over the activities of his company.

Mentally unstable man who confessed to killing daughter of ex-Ondo deputy governor, attacks medical director, nurses in psychiatric home

Workers at the Ondo State Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital Akure, yesterday staged peaceful protest demanding better working conditions in their facility after a patient undergoing treatment beat up the facility's medical director and nurses. 

According to the protesting workers, a patient named Folorunsho Olawale who was brought in by men of the Ondo State Police Command on Wednesday August 8th, stabbed two nurses, beat up the medical director, Dr. Akinwumi Akinloye and destroyed some equipment of the hospital.

Olawale was arrested after he went to a police station in Akure and allegedly confessed to having been involved in the killing of Khadijat, the daughter of a former deputy governor of the state, Alhaji Lasisi Oluboyo.

“After he was quizzed at the station, the police suspected that Olawale had a mental problem because his statement was incoherent and he was behaving abnormally. He was subsequently taken to the   psychiatric hospital'' one of the workers said

The protesting workers said after the incident, they filed a complain with the office of the Permanent Secretary of the Hospital Management Board, Dr Niran Ikuomola, who asked them to go back to work immediately. This did not go down well with the workers and they resorted to embarking on a peaceful protest to demand better working condition and security to forestall similar attacks. 

Although the permanent secretary has promised to implement the changes they demand for, the workers said they want actions and not promises.

“I want to believe that we are not in an animal kingdom. We heard of the attack on some nurses and doctors of this hospital and we came to pacify the workers to go back to work this morning. But it is unfortunate that the PS just came here and ordered the workers to go back to their work without addressing the issues at hand. He said we had no right to address our members. But we want to say enough is enough because nothing seems to be working here and this is not acceptable to us''leader of the protesting workers, Opeyemi Oloniyo, said 

The Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Femi Joseph, confirmed that the psychiatric patient was a suspect and was taken to the hospital by the command.

“When he started behaving abnormally, he was taken to the psychiatric hospital to test his level of sanity because we did not know whether he was on drug or he had a mental disorder; that was why we took him to the hospital.” Joseph said
