It takes Killing of Three to be Promoted to Next Level – 10-year-old boy

Standing among forty other suspects arrested over various crimes ranging from robbery, rape, impersonation and cultism, at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters, Ikeja , Wednesday, was an under-aged boy whose appearance struck this reporter. Judging from his fragile frame to his malnourished looks, coupled with an expression of fear on his light skinned face, nothing would have passed him for any of the offences listed against him.

Babajide Akiola

But during an interaction with Crime Guard, 16-year-old Babajide Akiola, as he later identified him, confirmed that facial looks could be deceptive, following his admittance to belonging to a dreaded cult group that has been terrorising Satellite Town, in Amuwo Odofin local government area of Lagos.

He further opened a can of worms on activities of members of various cult groups in the area. Most startling was the revelation that children as young as ten years old are initiated into the various cult groups in Satellite Town. By the way, Sattelitte Town was set up by the Lagos State government in early 1960 to help low income earners own their own houses, with some of the areas allocated to oil workers and private buyers .

Along the line, illegal structures were built in the area, which unfortunately have turned the area which was once known to be an estate into a slum, with the prevalent activities of cultists holding sway. In this interaction with Akiola, a Secondary School Certificate holder, he revealed that , primary school pupils and secondary school students , including artisans in the area were forced into cultism. Attempt by anyone approached to put up resistance according to him, meant the out right relocation of the child’s parent from the area.

Ooni Attacks Youth Unemployment  

Recently, it was reported that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II has acquired about 30 square miles of land in Ile Ife for cocoa, oil palm and rubber plantation. The agricultural investment, according to the monarch, targets the creation of about 40,000 job opportunities for the youth in the area. The monarch, who was also reported to have said that he has dedicated this year, 2016, to youth development, expressed the hope that the agricultural initiative would further reduce crime rate in Ile Ife, when it comes into effect.

This initiative is not the first by Ooni Ogunwusi. Already, about 3,000 youths are currently engaged at the ongoing project site of Ife Grand Resort, spanning over 1000 acres of land, established by the monarch to provide job opportunities for the people. His specific targets are beyond the shores of Ile Ife.
Since his enthronement, the Ooni of Ife has left no one in doubt as to his love for his people, especially the youth. This has manifested in his determination to see to the development of his domain and the entire country. Though relatively young, he has shown so far that the ability to be a good leader is not necessarily a function of age, but about focus and the zeal to make a difference.

Lassa Fever ‘kills 35’ in Nigeria

Warri, Nigeria - Nigeria’s health minister is urging Nigerians not to panic over an outbreak of Lassa fever that has killed 35 people in seven states since November.

Dr Isaac Adewole says the government has taken adequate measures to contain the outbreak, with 14 lab-confirmed cases among 76 suspected ones.

Lassa, named after a Nigerian town where the acute viral hemorrhagic fever first was identified in 1969, has the same symptoms as Ebola and also requires that health workers wear protective gear and patients be isolated. Only about 1 percent of patients die. The disease is carried by rats and mostly affects rural communities with poor sanitation or crowded living conditions. It is only found in West Africa.

A statement published Friday says Adewole “appeals to members of the public to be calm.”
