Aluta Mama, Odumakin Leads Protest To Lagos House of Assembly Over Alleged Brutality Of Two omen

Reacting to the dehumanization of two women and Lagos residents in Ejigbo area, where the victims were brutally beaten, tortured with stick and pepper, recorded on video and uploaded on the internet with virile viewership, The President, Women for Change Initiative, Dr. Joe Oke-Odumakin, today, led other women advocates on a protest march to the Lagos State House of Assembly demanding for justice on behalf of the victims.

Speaking at the rally ground, Odumakin urged the law makers to use their good office in setting an inquiry into the incident and also seek that the Chairman of the Ejigbo, Local Government Community Development Area, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan be compelled to share his knowledge of the crime and what he has done in tracking down perpetrators.

“Council Chairman of Ejigbo Local Government, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan admitted the incident happened in his council area but till date nothing is done. What we don’t even know now is whether the victims survived the torture or not in that brutal incident which happened in February 2013.

We strongly believe that there is redemptive value for Lagos State in fishing out these criminals for punishment so that the state is not seen as a haven for atrocious human rights abuses, where barbaric and acts are tolerated by government officials.” She explained

Assuring the agitated group, The Deputy Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Kolawole Taiwo who received them replied saying a special hearing committee will be set up to look into the details of the incidence.

He assure the public that a proper investigation hearing will be given to the case, saying the house will bring market women leaders in the area, summon the Chairman of Ejigbo LCDA and others to gather information that guide the apprehension of the culprits.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too. Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state. That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
