9-Year-Old Girl who published book on Terrorism in Nigeria at DHQ
A 9-year-old pupil of Unique Blossom School Maitama, Miss Splendour Joe Abisoye has presented to the Defence Headquarters a copy of her book titled “Effects of Terrorism on Children”.
Accompanied by her parents Rev. and Mrs Joe King Abisoye, Splendour stated that she was inspired to write the book as a result of the issue of terrorism occurrences in Nigeria and her interactions with children when she visited an Internally Displaced Persons Camp (IDPs).
She noted that the minds of these young ones have been debased.
For instance, Splendour said, many of them were said to prefer to join Boko Haram group so as to be protected.
Her inspiration was further boosted to write with the understanding that these terrorists were once children and only proper education could guarantee a terror free society.
She however sought to use the Defence Headquarters as a platform to reach out to other stakeholders in the fight against terrorism in the distribution of her books and to send them to all IDP camps, Almajiri schools and all military schools in Nigeria.

Olumide said: “The okada came out from nowhere, blocked our car and three of them alighted. One of them pointed a gun at my mother and ordered her to the back seat.
“They threw out my younger brother. While two of them sat with my mother, one took over the driver’s seat and both the car and okada sped off.”

Rivers CP orders withdrawal of policemen attached to politicians
The Rivers State Police Commissioner, Mr. Chris Ezike, on Thursday ordered the immediate withdrawal of policemen attached to politicians and other individuals.
Ezike specifically warned policemen attached to politicians without any authorisation from the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, to shun such deployment.
He expressed the need for officers and men of the Rivers State Command to remain neutral, maintaining that any policeman interested in partisan politics should resign from the Force and register with any political party.
Ezike, who was posted to the Rivers State Police Command last week, spoke during his inaugural meeting with senior officers, area commanders, divisional police officers and heads of department at the Officers’ Mess Port Harcourt.
He promised to partner relevant stakeholders to ensure the state was safer, more secure and prosperous.
“We shall with immediate effect review our personnel deployment profile and recover wastage and unauthorised deployments. Accordingly, all Squadron Commanders are directed to withdraw PMF personnel deployed to persons not entitled and without approval from the Inspector-General of Police.
“Similarly all Area Commanders, Heads of Department and DPOs are directed to also withdraw their personnel so deployed. A monitoring task force shall soon commence action to ensure compliance.
“The 2015 elections have come and gone. However the aftershocks still remain. The Police under my watch must remain neutral, professional, fair, but very firm. Any policeman or woman who has political interest or is so committed to the ideals of any political party is advised to resign his or her commission to enable him/her to register as a political party member.
“All officers and men are to ensure that their actions and conduct remain within the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution, Police Acts and Regulations and other extant legislation,” Ezike said.
