Bomb Scare: Governor Okorocha Enjoins Imo People To Be More Vigilant

PRESS RELEASE

IMG_20140615_135024

Following the pandemonium at the Living Faith Church [Winners Chapel], Owerri at the early hours of Sunday 16th June, 2014 on the detected explosive devices suspected to be planted by the dreaded Islamic Sect, Boko Haram, the state Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha has called on the people of the state to be calm and go about their normal business as everything was under control.

Addressing the press on the bomb scare, at Government House, Owerri, Owelle Okorocha said it was confirmed that there was a planted bomb which had the capacity to go 500 meters range and would have been a disaster if it had exploded as the church where it was planted is located at a densely populated area of the state.

The Governor noted that the daily prayers offered in the state were not in vain and thanked God for saving the lives of his people.  He also commended the security outfits in the state for being alert to their duties.

The governor who assured Imo people that the situation was under control noted that Imo State is not known for such ugly incidence and therefore appealed to all Imolites and other Nigerians resident in the state to be more security conscious and alert the police about any suspected objects, vehicles or persons around their vicinity.

He however assured that the state has applied necessary measures to stop further occurrence of the ugly situation.

The governor added that there would be an emergency security meeting at the International convention Centre, Owerri where further security briefing would be made available to all imolites.

He also said that already, some suspects have been arrested while investigation is still going on.

Tension Heightens In Imo As Police Recover Bombs From Winners Chapel

… relocates church to Heroes Square


There is palpable tension in Owerri, the Imo state capital following the
discovery and defusing of  three Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) around
the expansive Winners Chapel state headquarters along PortHarcourt road,
Owerri.

Our reporter who visited the Church Sunday morning saw officials of the
church re-directing worshippers to the Heroes Square at the
junction leading to the church.

Closer to the church, the Police Bomb Disposable Unit barricaded the church on both ends with police trucks blocking off access to the church from the two
approach routes.

When 247ureports.com met the Senior Pastor of the church, Pastor
Moses Oyedele for comments, he declined saying he was indisposed to comment on the matter.

 The state Police Public Relations
Officer, Andrew Enwerem who confirmed the development, told 247ureports.com that the police had taken charge of the situation.

Speaking to newsmen at the scene of the recovery, the state Commissioner of
Police, Mr. Abdulmajid Ali informed that six persons were presently in
police custody undergoing interrogation over the incident.
He urged residents and churches to be a lot more vigilant as they go about
their daily activities and to report any suspicious object or parcel to the
nearest security agency.

While some church members said none of the bombs detonated, others insist
that a loud bang was heard from around the church in the wee hours of the
morning.

One of the church members who craved anonymity told our reporter that a
staff of the hotel opposite the church maintains that he heard aloud bang
in the small hours of the morning that shook buildings in the neighbourhood.

At the time of filing this report, the Police bomb disposal squad was still
sweeping through the massive church premises for bombs.

The church has a sitting capacity in the neighbourhood of 10,000 and houses
a nursery and primary school.

Meanwhile, when our reporyer got to the Heroes Square, security was on red
alert as several Policemen were sighted around the gate to the emergency
worship ground. Men were thoroughly searched while women were made to show
the content of the bags. Metal detectors and bomb detectors were fully
deployed while the crowd of worshippers sang “The church is marching on and
the gates of hell shall not prevail.”

Nairobi Winners Chapel

Information reaching 247ureports.com indicates that six persons have been arrested by the security operatives in Owerri, Imo State following the three pipe bombs discovered at a Winners Chapel on early morning hours of Sunday June 15, 2014. This was according to highly placed source in Owerri government house who also confirmed that no injuries were reported.

 

It is recalled that last month, the home of the former governor of Imo State. Ikedi Ohakim was allegedly bombed by unknown attackers.

 

The source within government house pointed to the growing fangs of terrorism as the potential cause for the bomb discovery. The source also did not excuse the desperation of the opposition to the Okorocha’s administration. He pointed to the antics of the former governor as indicative of the type of action expected of him.

 

The arresting security officer was said to be a member of the Church.

The Enugu State Government has said it has commenced the arrest and prosecution of people found trading on the streets or on the newly
constructed walk ways and road lay bys in the Enugu capital territory in accordance with an existing ban on street trading.

The State Commissioner in charge of the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA), Engineer Ike Ugwuegede, who disclosed
this in a briefing with Government House Correspondents, said the
goods seized from offenders will also be forfeited to the government.

The Commissioner said the ban on street trading was among other
things, aimed at preserving the environment and infrastructure.

He stated that relevant government agencies have been mandated to
search for defaulters and bring them to face the full wrath of the
law.

Engineer Ugwuegede therefore warned citizens who are still engaging in
the illegal practice to give it up immediately in order to avoid
punishment.

APC Ready To Sweep PDP Out – Tinubu

bola-tinubu

Former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday declared that the All Progressive Congress (APC) broom revolution is ready now to sweep the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of power in 2015.

The change he told the teeming supporters at the party’s maiden national convention holding at the Eagle Square, Abuja has become necessary because of the manifest ineptitude and weakness of the PDP-led government.

A government he said that cannot protect her citizens such that 250 girls abducted in Chibok, Borno more than a month ago are still in captivity.

The people, he said, cannot continue to tolerate this government and APC had come to present the clear alternative.

Tinubu however said the successful holding of the national convention has shamed detractors who had said that it was impossible for the legacy parties to merge and form one formidable party.
“We have every reason to congratulate ourselves not only for the history we have made, but for showing that we are capable and ready to bring that which Nigerians desire.

“They have attempted to brand us a religious party, yet they failed. They should know that poverty knows no religion. We are making history today and assure that we are one and we must remain united”, he added.

APC Presidential candidacy: Buhari, Atiku, Kwankwaso know fate in November

APC-CONVENTION-600x350

•I’ve not been zoned out –Atiku

 

Less than 24 hours after successfully conducting its maiden National Convention, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it would converge again in a special convention this November to pick its presidential candidate for the 2015 general election.

 

Senator Chris Ngige made the announcement on Friday night at the national convention of the party in Abuja.

 

Already, three top contenders who had engaged in poster war at the convention over the weekend include former military Head of State, General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd), former Vice President Atiku Abubarkar and Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, have emerged.

 

It is also believed that the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwwal, who is yet to defect to APC from PDP, could also be eyeing the top job.

 

Though, Senator Ngige, did not say the date in November but in the guidelines issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), all parties must hold conventions to pick their presidential candidates by December 11, 2014.

 

December 18 is the final day for the submission of the names of candidates.

 

Meanwhile, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has dismissed as “sponsored stories,” reports by a section of the media to the effect that APC had zoned him out of the presidential contest following a new arrangement.

 

A statement issued by the Atiku Media Office quoted the former Vice President as saying at no time did the party’s Convention Planning Committee or its recently-dissolved Interim National Executive Council (NEC) discuss the issue of zoning of elective offices outside the positions of leadership of the party which he said, were filled at the highly successful convention held on Friday.

 

“As for the presidential ticket, the position of all organs of the party is that it is open to all Nigerians irrespective of where they come from,” Atiku said.

Arrangements have been concluded on the building of an international market at Mgbidi in Oru West Local Government Area of Imo State.
The market, known as Heartland Gateway International Market, will sit on the 28.097 hectares of land along Owerri-Onitsha Expressway by Oguta Junction.
Speaking on the occasion of the pre-construction site visit of offtakers (members of the Imo State Towns Development Association, Lagos and Ohanaeze Ndigbo) of the market, the promoter of the project, Dr. Meckson Okoro of M.I. Okoro & Associates disclosed that the market would comprise 10,000 shopping units (lock-up and open ones) as well as 3000 housing units ever built in the town.
The market, he said, was envisaged as multi-purpose commercial and business service centre, which would serve as a key destination for Imo State and Nigeria in general , adding that the market project would reflect the ones in China, UK or any European or American country.
Okoro disclosed that his firm and the promoter, Graceland Channels Limited have secured the partnership of three banks—First Bank, Fidelity and Keystone Banks— to coordinate the financial contribution to be done by traders and other stakeholders.
He said the prospective shop owners would have to give firm commitment of the type of they need and pay at least 30 percent of the total amount to the project which ranged from N3million and above
He disclosed that there would be more than 80 units of standard size warehouses, adding that banking halls/ lettable office spaces, clinic and pharmacy, fire station, parking space for cars and articulated vehicles, schools for children, full utility centre will be some of the common features the market.
In order to cater for the housing needs of those that would use the market, he stated, another land within the town had been designated for the housing estate that consist of 3000 units of various classes.
He thanked the state governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha for making the initiative possible promising not to disappoint, disclosing that the project would be public private partnership-based to enable the people purchase it within a time frame.
Also speaking, the chief executive officer of Graceland Channels Limited, the developing firm, Pastor Nat Omoruyi stated that the Heartland International Gateway Market would be the most modern, mega malls integrated and organized market and biggest marketplace of international standard in Sub-Saharan Africa to serve the sub region and beyond.
When fully operational, the developer disclosed that the market would generate in excess ofN100 million in volume of trade and business transactions daily, saying that the ripple effect of business activities would positively affect the economy of Nigeria and other African countries within the sub region
Omoruyi stated that the market would be constructed at an estimated cost of N16,200,000,000 over a two-year period, explaining that within the next one year, the first phase of the market—5000 units—would be completed and commenced, while the remaining  5000 units would be completed in the following year.
He disclosed that more than 20,000 jobs would be generated for the unemployed youths, while cottage industries would eventually spring up to meet immediate demands among other benefits.
Reacting, the deputy speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Donatus Ozoemena commended the promoters of the market for their sincerity in in coming to develop the town, pledging the support of the people of the area and the government of the state to ensure the project was successful.

NBC News reports that U.S. President Barack Obama said “I don’t rule out anything,” and “my national security team is looking at all the options” with regard to the rapidly growing unrest in Iraq. “This is an area that we have been watching with a lot of concern,” he said.

Even if The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is defeated, the problem of terrorism will not likely be solved for long, particularly if the Iraq’s economy does not improve. It would be just a matter of time before other terrorists move in to take their place. History shows that past defense plans regarding Iraq have failed. These plans were based largely on conjecture, and now we have seen their outcome. The conventional military approach of fighting terrorism lacks a statistical guarantee of success of where a leader like Obama can wisely and safely assert “yes, this approach will definitely work.”

Obviously, it is a dangerous time in Iraq. Civil war looms. This is why it is particularly risky to base one’s military plans on guesswork, as a massive firestorm could erupt, further crippling Iraq’s economic growth. It is already extremely difficult for Iraq to lure international business to assist in boosting its struggling economy. If a full-blown war were to break out in Iraq, this situation would certainly become much worse.

There is a scientifically-validated approach to effectively, efficiently, quickly end turmoil and boost the economy. If Obama has the political will to suggest that the Iraqi military deploy an unusual but effective approach, and they agree. It will no longer be necessary to base defense plans on guesses.

This means of violence removal is based on peer-reviewed research. The approach has been field-tested by militaries and validated by 23 studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Based on 25 years of research, it has been endorsed by independent scientists and scholars.

Where deployed by foreign military circles worldwide, it is known as Invincible Defense Technology (IDT), the Unified Field Technology. The Unified Field effect, IDT, has been statistically proven numerous times to decrease and prevent violence, terrorism, and boost the economy. This defense technology supersedes all others based on weaker electronic, chemical, and nuclear forces. Any military that correctly deploys this powerful human-resource-based technology, due to the coherence of this Unified Field effect, does not allow negative trends and/or enemies to arise internally or externally. No enemies means, no terrorism. The military becomes “invincible” because there are no enemies to fight.

Despite the success of IDT deployment by other militaries, the Iraq military continues to rely almost solely on its non-unified field-based weaponry, rather than on IDT statistically tested prevention-based approach.

IDT involves creating Preventive Wings of the Military. The warrior’s daily routine includes twice a day practice of a human resource-based technology, which is known and researched as the Transcendental Meditation® and its advanced TM-Sidhi program. As a military societal coherence-creating unit, (the Unified Field Technology Quiet Impact Group), they quietly practice these programs twice a day, seven days a week, preferably in a secure location near the targeted population. Their presence and deep-field influence operation does not need to be disclosed to achieve the effect of violence removal and conflict resolution.

The 23 studies carried out in developed and developing nations in all continents, including Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, constitute the largest and the most successful experiment in social sciences of the 20th century.

For instance, in a 1978 IDT intervention a total of 1,400 civilian IDT experts went to five world trouble spots – Lebanon, Iran, Rhodesia, Kampuchea, and Nicaragua. For about 10 weeks they used the Unified Field effect to create societal coherence and stop violence. In 1978, 14,567 terrorist/fight events were recorded in the Conflict and Peace Data Bank (COPDAB), the world’s largest such resource. Time series analysis showed the IDT project had a strong and statistically significant effect world-wide. Contingency table analysis of COPDAB data against a 10-week control period, against a 1-year baseline, and against a 10-year baseline all showed improvement. Investigators report trouble-spot areas experienced noticeable decreases in violence and disorder upon arrival of the group, and, in general, a return to previous trends upon their departure.

Such coherence-creating groups have achieved positive benefits to society, shown statistically, in even just 48 hours. Modern statistical methods used in this research preclude chance or coincidence.

The IDT, the Unified Field Technology approach was used during wartime (drop in fighting and in number of deaths and casualties, progress toward resolving the conflict), and in peace (drop in crime rate, drop in violent death index, decrease of misery index, drop in unemployment, rise in a quality of life index). Societies using it perform extremely well in a very short time. This is what decreased the intensity of war in Lebanon in 1984 in a dramatic way in 48 hours, to name only one of the successful experiments.

In 1992, President Joaquim Chissano, Lt. Gen. Tobias Dai, and the Chiefs of Staff of the Mozambique military carefully analyzed the IDT research. They made a unanimous decision to adopt it for their country by training about 3,000 soldiers and 16,000 police.

As predicted, violence disappeared by 1993. Societies using these groups also become more self-sufficient. For instance, in Mozambique the economic growth reached 19%. Once the poorest world country in 1992, by 2000; it had moved up to be the world’s fastest-growing economy.

Militaries worldwide are training military IDT experts. They are creating the Unified Field Technology Quiet Impact Groups. The historical ramifications of this are profound. By accessing the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature, these military IDT groups are harnessing the most powerful force in the universe, and creating a powerful influence of coherence for the region. Statistics objectively says “yes, the approach works.” Why not do it for Iraq? Why not do it for the United States, too?

If United States President Barack Obama really means that he will not rule anything out, and his administration has “been in close consultation with the Iraqi government to try to address problems they have,” then he should have the will to examine the 25 years of statistical research data to see the statistical guarantee of effectiveness the method presents. He should have the courage to request that Iraq establish Preventive Wings of the Military to ease high tensions and prevent further terrorism and war. If they promptly act, Iraq could create lasting peace, boost its economy and gain international prestige.

Bilie Human Rights Initiative Has No Mandate And As Such Does Not Represent The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) – By Uche Mefor

BiafraDeclaration

It is interesting that Bilie Human Rights Initiative (herein after BHRI) backed by practising barrister(s) will choose when to act in accordance with the law and when not to.We continue to remind you that an agreement signed  under the law was blatantly breached by BHRI and its lawyers and they turned around to cry foul.It is also important to remind you that the EDICTS of the ‘Supreme Council of Elders’ was and is the exclusive machination and arrangement of operators of BHRI and NOT BASED ON THE BROAD BASED CONSULTATION AND AUTHORISATION OF THE PEOPLE OF BIAFRA AND SO ONLY A HANDFUL OF THOSE WHO ARE THEIR MEMBERS AND THOSE WHO SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR METHOD ARE BOUND.

 

The question then is: where does the ‘Council of Elders’ got their mandate?From a Human Rights organisation called BHRI or the Indigenous People of Biafra?Who constituted the Customary court? The records are there. You see, it is better that you have a deep breath and look for a way of rectifying the BUNDLE ILLEGALITY that BHRI is and has been presiding over.If you want to practice law, practice it in all its ramifications.

 

The usual quote ”No pro-Biafra activists or groups under the authority of Bilie Human Rights Initiative and the Supreme Council of Elders has ever been arrested, molested…..”, is laughable and most insincere in the strictest sense. First and by this, you have already identified that there are pro-Biafra activists or groups under the ‘authority’ of BHRI and her ‘Supreme Council of Elders'(not the Council of Elders of IPOB) and there are those who are not.Now as a rational being, why not leave those who are not under your authority alone to go about their activities? This is because you got it wrong in the first place when you insisted that Biafra can only be restored via LEGAL means and no other method thereby excluding others who do not believe in your legal method or to say the least who believe that all options must be on the table. It is bizarre to insist that independence can only be achieved through the law court even when every available

records in history of nationhood suggest

otherwise.Since you limit yourselves you cannot limit others and you cannot constitute an obstacle on the way of others (you cannot force people to come under ‘BHRI and the Supreme Council of Elders’).Doing so as you can imagine amounts to direct provocation and nobody will want to witness the consequences of that.

 

Furthermore, when you say that nobody has been arrested as a result of BHRI being in court  (with its members and truly not on behalf of every Indigenous Biafran) for you can only represent those who are your members, it then begs the question which is: how can you or anybody be arrested by the Nigeria government where you observe, and pay allegiance to Nigerian constitution and adhere and obey the Nigerian law to the letter? Since you obey Nigerian law, why then are you claiming to be FIGHTING OR ADVOCATING FOR BIAFRA? How can Nigerian government arrest or molest you where in fact and indeed you have literally you have not broken any of her laws.Can’t you see that there is something fundamentally wrong with ‘justice obtained against the TRUTH’ ( Ikpe mara eziokwu na aka azu di ya)? Simple and direct, what you are doing  is not freedom fighting because Independence cannot and has never been achieved via the court albeit via the oppressor’s court.

 

Again, to continue to feed your followers with incorrect legal information is a mark of irresponsibility and indeed it is for those who are card carrying members of BHRI and not for the Indigenous People of Biafra as a people. The truth is that there is body of principles or laws in international law.In other words, there is no codified principles or rules called ‘international Law’ for people to obey. What you have there are state practices or customs and treaties(which binds the signatories only) and of course the UN security council resolutions(enforced mostly through the use of force) and,expert legal opinions of  jurists and legal scholars and the decisions of the international court of Justice (herein after ICJ) (these decisions are for disputes between independent states brought before the court). The conduct of states in international relations or system is not as a result of law but as a matter of choice and indeed on the ‘permanent interests’

of states. Rosalyn Higgins(a renowned

international jurist in her book: Problems and process, international and how we use it) clearly stated that ‘international law is not rules.It is a normative system.’ The support for Biafra like any other can only be got through a combination of factors which are many of politics and choice of states among others.The next question therefore is: who can bring a case before the International Court of Justice(ICJ)?

 

And here are the answers:

 

Only States are eligible to appear before the Court in contentious cases.  At present, this basically means the 192 United Nations Member States.

 

”The Court has no jurisdiction to deal with applications from individuals, non-governmental organizations, corporations or any other private entity.  It cannot provide them with legal counselling or help them in their dealings with the authorities of any State whatever.However, a State may take up the case of one of its nationals and invoke against another State the wrongs which its national claims to have suffered at the hands of the latter;  the dispute then becomes one between States.” (available at:http://www.icj-cij.org/information/index.php?p1=7&p2=2) .

 

As can be seen above, only an independent state/Country can take BHRI’s case against Nigeria to the ICJ as BHRI including its ‘Council of Elders’ has no right to TAKE NIGERIA TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE(ICT).The case is already dead on the grounds and questions of merit and admissibility.Nigeria,which you obey its constitution and laws and who is incidentally and bizarrely your oppressor definitely cannot take itself to the ICJ. Only an independent country can take your case to the ICJ and the question again is: how do you get this country to support you? The answer lies in the sphere of INTERNATIONAL POLITICS and MANOEUVRING and not in the COURT OF YOUR OPPRESSOR, NIGERIA. Furthermore, BHRI and its ‘SUPREME COUNCIL OF ELDERS’ and their followers are indeed Nigerians in fact and indeed who obey the Nigerian law and therefore coming out to the world to announce that they are freedom fighters and agitators for Biafra makes mockery of the Biafra

Independence struggle.You do not

confront Nigeria, you do not break any law by going to court to literally beg, you are merely making a legal argument which the Nigerian court is ever ready to continue to entertain till eternity and  to use it to exercise their minds for legal researchers and scholars among them and indeed among legal researchers  of BHRI. Biafra does not want research(enough has been researched on her), she wants freedom fighters for her liberation.It wants raw political process to drive this home simple!

 

 

Finally and put succinctly,the case that BHRI is pursuing against the Nigerian government is fundamentally flawed in every ramifications and BHRI is definitely NOT REPRESENTING THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA AS A PEOPLE, IT IS BASICALLY, IF ANYTHING, REPRESENTING THOSE BIAFRANS WHO ARE THEIR MEMBERS AND THE ‘SUPREME COUNCIL OF ELDERS’ IS SOLELY FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNDER BHRI AS A HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION.

 

It may also interest everyone who cares to note that Ezu River incidence happened under the direct watch of BHRI and her Supreme Council of Elders, the continuous bombing and slaughtering our Biafran brethrens in Nigeria are and have been taking place under the watchful eyes of BHRI, The socalled ELDERS OF BHRI are represented at jamboree called NATIONAL CONFERENCE but nobody has heard them spoke out about the killings our people and indeed Biafra Indepence. and so on.If BHRI and her supreme council of elders are defending the Biafran people, the question is: how many cases have they prosecuted on behalf of Biafrans?How many BOKO HARAM bomb victims and their families have BHRI obtained justice for? Have they obtained justice for the Ezu River victims and what are they doing about it? You see, men in BHRI and her Council of elders are always looking for easy way out and riding on the back of others to achieve publicity which are purely self-centred. Come

out and make sacrifice for Biafra freedom.. Freedom is not given, it is taken.Biafrans and the world are watching and very soon will know who is who.

From Nweke Nweke, Onitsha

 

Having stayed many years in crisis said to have hindered progress, peace and tranquility in Nkpor Community, Idemili North Council area of Anambra State normality is likely returning back in the prone crisis community following the intervention of a group known as Nkpor Gospel Crusaders, comprising all churches in the area.

 

This was made known during a-one-day free medical care for the indigenes of the community organized to assist in assimilating the health condition of the rural dwellers by Nkpor Gospel Crusaders.

 

When this Online visited the scene reports authoritatively that over 150 people made up of adults and children including pregnant and nursing mothers received free treatment in the event held at Nkpor Town Hall.

 

The leading medical doctor stationed to diagnosed patients at the venue, Dr. Ochuenwike Edith said they recorded cases of arthritis, malarias, high blood pressure, eye problems and many other ailment, adding that many other cases they can’t attuned to were referred to government hospitals.

 

Enumerating the gifts of Nkpor Gospel Crusaders to the indigenes of the community for the past ten years, one of the beneficiaries of the free medical care programme, Mr. Thank-God Ezefoue described the event as first of its kind in the history of the community, he called for the sustenance of the programme even as he prayed God replenish the domes of the drugs and the programme coordinators.

 

Reacting, Pastor Amechy Udeze who is the programme coordinator, flanked by Pastor Ben Odiwe, the national secretary of Nkpor Gospel Crusaders said they embarked on the free medical care after noting that there is no healthy nation without the citizenry been healthy.  Pastor Amechy however revealed that the event was mapped out to touch the lives of the people living in most remote area.

 

It would be recalled that Nkpor Gospel Crusaders had before the event paid courtesy visit the traditional institution of Nkpor Community where they broke peace among those nursing grievances against each other.
