Man descends from telecoms mast 24 hours after he climbed and threatened not to come down until President Buhari resigns

Knificent.blogspot.com .

Yesterday, a man climbed a telecommunications mast in Abuja and refused to descend until President Buhari resigns as the president of Nigeria. He has now descended 24 hours after his protest began and spoke to journalists, explaining the reason for his action.

The man, who gave his name as Nura Ilyasu, climbed a mast belonging to Airtel Nigeria, located few metres away from the presidential villa and Lungi Army Barracks, on Wednesday. He came down from the mast at about 11:24am today, 24 hours after the protest began.

Security operatives, who had been communicating with him via his mobile phone, had tried to talk him into coming down from the mast but he declined. He eventually agreed to descend only after security operatives acceded to his request that he must address the press upon his descent. 

Speaking to the press after his descent, Ilyasu said he climbed the mast to protest the economic hardship in the country and added that President Muhammadu Buhari does not deserve another four years in office, according to Sahara Reporters.

He said:

My name is Nura Ilyasu. I am 28 years old. What I did is within the purview of the law. My human right is to protest peacefully and I never threatened my life or any other person

What we are going through in this country is not from God. Some microscopic-view individuals hijacked all that God endowed Nigeria with for decent life, and we can't continue like this. I climbed up for seven days hunger strike to protest the incompetence and cluelessness, to protest presidential impunity and general docility displayed by the masses. We can't continue like this.

Other competent candidates are there; even Saraki, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Tambuwal, Dankwambo and others.  At least one of these [men] will make a good President.

I don't believe General Buhari deserves another four-year term in Nigeria because the pervasive hunger and poverty in Nigeria is inexplicable. I don't have mental disorder as being insinuated by some people."

Ilyasu added that he is mentally stable, as opposed to speculations being made about his mental health. He said he came down because some lawyers spoke to him while he was on the mast.

After the interview with the press, Ilyasu was taken away by security operatives.

Catholic Bishop advised to step down after being accused of repeatedly raping a nun

Knificent.blogspot.com .




Spokesman of the archdiocese of Bombay, India, Fr Nigel Barrett, has advised Bishop Franco Mulakkal of Jalandhar, to step down from his post pending an inquiry into the case of sexual harassment involving a nun.

The Roman Catholic Bishop is accused of repeatedly raping the nun in Kerala over two years.

The 46-year-old nun alleged that she was sexually assaulted 13 times from 2014 and 2016. She has written to the Vatican, urging that action be taken against the offender.

However, the Bishop has refuted the allegations and accused 'anti-church elements' of falsely implicating him.

Archbishop of Bombay, Oswald Cardinal Gracias, who is also the president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of India, and an advisor to the Pope, has said he will try to address the matter to Pope Francis. Cardinal Gracias is currently touring the Vatican.

Fr Nigel felt it would be best that Bishop Franco steps down pending an impartial enquiry. If he is determined to be not guilty, he can get back to his position.

Meanwhile the Indian Christian Women's movement (ICWM), a national ecumenical movement of Christian women, has demanded action against the bishop. It expressed solidarity with the public protest, and commended the courageous action of the five nuns who hail from the rape survivor's convent in Kottayam, in the struggle for justice.

Condemning police laxity, ICWM voiced "anger, pain and shame at the silence of the Catholic hierarchy and their refusal to make the accused step down from office while the police investigation is ongoing".

ICWM questioned the "credibility of the hierarchy in promoting a policy to address sexual harassment in the Church.

The Kerala police on Wednesday,  summoned Bishop Mulakkal following a meeting to review the progress made in the case.

The Bishop has been asked to appear before the police on September 19, Inspector General of Police Vijay Sakhare said.

"There are a lot of contradictions in the case. This is an old case based primarily on oral evidence. We have verified a lot of contradictions. It's our duty to protect the victim and witnesses, " Sakhare said.

Rescued Suicidal Youth Disappears With Helper's Tricycle And Money (Photo) - Crime

Knificent.blogspot.com .

A school dropout, Owolabi Ogunwande, who reportedly attempted to kill himself twice, has been declared wanted after allegedly absconding with a tricycle and money belonging to a trader in the Surulere area of Lagos State.

The Oyan, Osun State indigene, who came to Lagos on March 5, 2018, had reportedly tried hanging himself with a rope he found on a bridge at CMS, Lagos Island, on June 28.

He was, however, rescued by a security operative at the Toll Gate, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.

After he was handed over to the police at the Maroko division, he allegedly attempted to commit suicide again in the cell before he was arraigned at the Igbosere Magistrate’s Court.

At the court, the 27-year-old reportedly said life had no meaning to him again and he was frustrated.

PUNCH Metro learnt that an octogenarian, who read his story, was moved with pity and offered to help him.

A source said some officials of a government agency assisted in securing Ogunwande’s release from court.

The source said, “When he was charged to court, the agency was approached by an 85-year-old woman, who said she was interested in helping him. The woman said she believed he probably had mental issues.

“Meanwhile, a non-governmental organisation, which also showed interest in his case, assisted in taking him to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, where he was committed to a mental ward for two weeks. The NGO paid about N80,000 per week to check his mental state.

“After he was certified fit, the court released him and the elderly woman, who had offered to help him, took him to her house in Ikoyi. The woman put him in a mechanic workshop where he was an apprentice and she gave him N500 every day for transport. The woman also gave him a good room and fed him twice a day.

“However, after a week, Ogunwande started complaining that the woman was making him to suffer. One night, he ran away from the woman’s house.”

PUNCH Metro gathered that a government worker took him to a church where he was welcome.

Some of the church members reportedly donated cash and clothing materials to the 27-year-old after he spoke to them.

The woman who took him to the church and asked not to be identified, told our correspondent that a day after Ogunwande arrived in the church, he approached a trader in the neighbourhood and offered to assist her with her wares.

“As of this time, the NGO that paid for his medical bills at LUTH was still giving him N1,500 per day for his upkeep. The NGO had also offered to take him in that Sunday since he was no longer comfortable with the elderly woman.

“On Saturday, while he claimed to be running errand for the trader around the church, he disappeared with the woman’s tricycle, goods and money,” she said.

The trader, Mrs Abiola Osidele, who had a warehouse in Adeniran Ogunsanya, Surulere, said she could not believe that Ogunwande absconded with her goods.

She said, “I have a warehouse in the area where I sell and distribute soft drinks to customers. He met me on Thursday and said he could drive my tricycle and assist to distribute the drinks.

“On the first day, he went with the boy working for me and they both returned with the proceeds of the goods. On Friday, they went together as well to supply goods at an event and returned with the money.

“On Saturday, my worker was not around, so he said he could go and deliver an order for me. He went and did not return. The place he went to deliver the goods is around Bode Thomas area of Surulere. When I went to enquire from my customers, they said they saw him till around 8pm.

“He went with a full supply of goods, my tricycle and over N100,000. He was very jovial, respectful and cheerful. I never believed he could do this to me.”

PUNCH Metro learnt that the suspect’s phone number had not been reachable since then.

Our correspondent was told that the case was reported at the Bode Tomas Police Station.

“When the DPO saw his picture, he immediately said the boy’s look suggested he was a criminal and he had only been pretending and bidding his time.

“Again, none of his family members have been forthcoming. When we called his uncle before he fled and we told him that Ogunwande wanted to kill himself, the man said he should go ahead. The uncle said he had been a thorn in his flesh and when he was coming to Lagos, he (uncle) worked for many days to raise N2,000 for his transport because he (Ogunwande) said he wanted a better life.

“He claimed to be an orphan and said he had been saddled with the responsibility of catering to his aged grandmother who was sick in the village,” another source said.

Our correspondent learnt that the tricycle, which had a built-in container for goods, was newly bought by the trader and it had yet to be registered.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, confirmed the incident.

He said, “He left with a Keke Marwa loaded with goods worth about N100,000. The suspect had attempted suicide in the past. We are still investigating the incident. We want members of the public to be on the lookout for him. Because of his records of attempting suicide in the past, we are not just looking at a case of stealing, but we are afraid he may have also killed himself. So, people should also inform the police if they find any unidentified corpse. We hope that he is safe.”
