Butchered by security chief: Went to school alive, return in bags by Elochukwu Ohagi - ITREALMS

MidWeekCommentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
"I am sending this here to let us know the type of person we would employ as a maid or security personnel. There are evil people everywhere." - Elochukwu
We have always said that all that glitters is not gold, and this story proves us right. He was the chief security officer at a school in Awada, Anambra State. Exceptional Kiddies Nursery and Primary School, to be precise. He was also a member of Anambra security personnel, but he was a serial killer. He kills silently, butchers his victim and has men in Sienna come to take them in black bags in disguise of fish and crayfish.

Oh, I forgot to say he also sells dry fish and crayfish in bags. A nice and proper camouflage that allows him to run his human business undetected. Who will suspect an ever-cheerful security man who was so trusted that he was allowed to live inside the school compound? Who would have known?

Hoda Muthana: Experts insist she must return to face consequences – ITREALMS

ITREALMS:
The now trapped Hoda Muthana, needs to return to United States of America (USA) to face the consequences of her action by joining Islamic State fighters, says expert and senior fellow, Foreign Policy at the Centre for Middle East Policy, Brookings Institution, Mr. Daniel L. Byman, reports ITREALMS.

Reacting to the recent ban placed on the 25-year old Hoda by the Trump administration’s decision not to allow her back into the United States after she went to Syria to join the Islamic State, Byman described the decision as “short-sighted.”

According to him, it is an abrogation of U.S. leadership and discouragement to other countries from taking the hard steps needed to handle the threat from thousands of returning Islamic State fighters.
ITREALMS recalls that Muthana, then a 20-year-old student, apparently left Alabama in 2014 to join the Islamic State at the height of the Caliphate. She equally reportedly served as a recruiter and urged attacks on the West. Along with 12 other Americans, Muthana is held by U.S. Kurdish allies in Syria, who are mostly women and children and claimed she regretted her decision to join the group and is ready to face the consequences, which will not exclude jail term over her act.

Byman noted that although Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed she has no grounds for citizenship, which he disagreed, arguing that Hoda was born in the United States and holds a U.S. passport.

“The administration’s approach is at odds with traditional U.S. interpretations of who is a citizen,” he declared.

In addition, Byman said that the United States has well-resourced police and federal law enforcement services and strong counterterrorism laws, stressing that “If Muthana returns for trial, she will not pose a threat. If Muthana voluntarily joined the Islamic State, as seems likely, she should be allowed home, given a trial, and serve the appropriate penalty under law for providing support to a terrorist organization and other crimes. It is tempting to fall into the trap of assuming that, as a young woman, she was ‘lured’ to the Islamic State by male masterminds or was not otherwise responsible for her actions.”

He pointed out that hitherto, women have played an important role in the Islamic State as recruiters, enforcers, and otherwise bolstering the caliphate, hence Muthana, like other volunteers, should be held fully responsible for her own actions.
ITREALMS recollects that the Brookings Institution is a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, DC with a mission to conduct in-depth research that leads to new ideas for solving problems facing society at the local, national and global level.

Return of Catholic Church excites CAN

The President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Dr. Samson Ayokunle has expressed excitement on the return of the Catholic Church to its fold, reports ITRealms.

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, CAN president said he was excited about the return of the Catholic Church, noting that the Church left CAN some five years ago.

In a press statement made available to ITRealms, Ayokunle pointed that their return is one of the best things that have happened since he assumed office as the President of CAN.

“One of my visions for CAN is to bring our Catholic brothers and sisters back to the fold; and I must acknowledge the support and understanding of my brother in Christ, Most Rev Ignatius Kaigama, President, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria and his team. I give kudos to all the principal officers, the directors and some Christian leaders in the country for their support and understanding while the dialogue lasted.

“My joy knows no bound with the presence of the CSN at the constitution amendment meeting of CAN held on Thursday and at the NEC meeting on Friday. It is our prayers that the Body of Christ in the country will remain one forever in Jesus’ name.

“At a time like this when Christians are almost becoming endangered species in Nigeria, when churches are being denied the Certificate of Occupancy especially in the core North, when Christians are being denied key public offices and when the Church is expected to speak for the voiceless, especially over the economic and social hardship in our country, we cannot afford to be at war with one another,” he said.

Ayokunle insisted that CAN is united in diversity. Stressing that Jesus Christ prayed for the Church shortly before He returned to heaven in John chapter 17.

HRW condemns mass forced return of 100 Nigerian refugees

ITRealms:
The Human Rights Watch (HRW) has condemned the alleged mass forced return of Nigerian refugees by Camerounian military, reports ITRealms.

Cameroon’s military, ITRealms gathered, had carried out a mass forced return of 100,000 Nigerian asylum seekers in an effort to stem the spread of Boko Haram, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The deportations defy the UN refugee agency’s plea not to return anyone to northeast Nigeria “until the security and human rights situation has improved considerably,” and leaves deportees facing spiralling violence, displacement and destitution.
The 55-page report, “‘They Forced Us Onto Trucks Like Animals’: Cameroon’s Mass Forced Return and Abuse of Nigerian Refugees,” documents that since early 2015, Cameroonian soldiers have tortured, assaulted, and sexually exploited Nigerian asylum seekers in remote border areas, denied them access to the UN refugee agency, and summarily deported, often violently, tens of thousands to Nigeria. It also documents violence, poor conditions, and unlawful movement restrictions in Cameroon’s only official camp for Nigerian refugees, as well as conditions recent returnees face in Nigeria.
“The Cameroonian military’s torture and abuse of Nigerian refugees and asylum seekers seems to be driven by an arbitrary decision to punish them for Boko Haram attacks in Cameroon and to discourage Nigerians from seeking asylum,” said Gerry Simpson, associate refugee director at Human Rights Watch. “Cameroon should heed the UN’s call on all countries to protect refugees fleeing the carnage in northeast Nigeria, not return them there.”
In late June and July 2017, Human Rights Watch interviewed 61 asylum seekers and refugees in Nigeria about the abuses they faced in Cameroon. They said soldiers had accused them of belonging to Boko Haram, a Nigerian militant Islamist group, or of being “Boko Haram wives” while torturing or assaulting them and dozens of others on arrival, during their stay in remote border areas, and during mass deportations. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says it has heard similar accounts from Nigerians living in Cameroon’s border areas.
Some said their children, weakened after living for months or years without adequate food and medical care in border areas, died during or just after the deportations, and others said children were separated from their parents. 
An asylum seeker who was deported from Mora in March 2017 described how without warning, Cameroonian soldiers rounded up 40 asylum seekers “and severely beat us and forced us onto a bus. They beat some of the men so badly, they were heavily bleeding. When we got to the Nigerian border they shouted ‘Go and die in Nigeria.’”
Refugees who reached Cameroon’s only designated camp for Nigerian refugees, in Minawao, have also faced violence from Cameroonian soldiers. While they have some protection as refugees, the approximately 70,000 people there have had limited access to food and water and abusive restrictions on their movement. In April and May, 13,000 returned from Minawao to a displacement camp in Banki, just across the border in Nigeria. Some were killed in early September when Boko Haram attacked the camp.
Although UNHCR does not have reliable access to most of Cameroon’s border areas with Nigeria, in early June it said its monitoring partners found Cameroon had forcibly returned almost 100,000 Nigerians to their country since January 2015. In late June, the Nigerian authorities responded to Cameroonian pressure by sending military vehicles over the border to help Cameroon deport almost 1,000 asylum seekers. That made Nigeria complicit in the unlawful forced return of its own citizens.
Tens of thousands of deportees from Cameroon end up in insecure militarized displacement camps or villages in Borno State, where conditions are dire, and women and girls face sexual exploitation. These sites are surrounded by the ongoing conflict between Nigeria’s armed forces and Boko Haram, which as of mid-September had displaced almost 2 million other Nigerian civilians.
Cameroon’s forced returns are a breach of the principle of nonrefoulement, which prohibits the forcible return of refugees and asylum seekers to persecution and, under regional standards in Africa, to situations of generalized violence, such as in northeast Nigeria. 
Since 2014, Cameroonian armed forces have carried out operations against Boko Haram in the country’s Far North Region. Cameroon has the right to regulate the presence of non-nationals on its territory, including those proven to be threat to its national security. The authorities also have an obligation to carefully investigate attacks in Cameroon by suspected Boko Haram members. However, it may not block refugees from seeking asylum and summarily deport them.
After staying publicly silent on the situation for two years, in late March, UNHCR publicly criticized the authorities for their mass forced refugee returns. The criticism was triggered by deportations after Cameroon had signed an agreement that month with Nigeria and UNHCR confirming that it would ensure that all refugee return was voluntary. 
As of mid-September, the Cameroonian authorities had allowed UNHCR only to pre-register asylum seekers in some border communities, leaving those pre-registered and tens of thousands of other asylum seekers without access to meaningful protection and putting them at risk of deportation.
The Cameroonian authorities deny any forced return or abuse of Nigerian asylum seekers and have not replied to a Human Rights Watch request for a response to the report’s findings. Cameroon has had a reputation as a generous country toward refugees since the early 1970s and it has hosted tens and then hundreds of thousands of refugees since then
“Faced with overwhelming evidence of mass refugee abuse and UN condemnation, Cameroon is trying to bury its head in the sand,” Simpson said. “But returning tens of thousands of Nigerians to harm and destitution will only further shred its well-deserved reputation as a generous refugee-hosting country.”

President Buhari to continue medical rest in Nigeria, return to UK in 3 weeks

Despite spending 51 days in the United Kingdom (UK) on medical vacation, President Muhammadu Buhari returned to Nigeria, Friday morning, to continue his rest at home, ITRealms exclusively reports.

Also, President Buhari, ITRealms gathered, will be returning to the United Kingdom in three weeks for further medical checks.

This, Aso Rock analyst said, would enable the vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to consolidate his acting capacity.

For most Nigerians, this development is an endorsement for Osinbajo’s presidency and capacity to lead the country which has seen some improvement since January 19, 2017.

Yet for another school of thought, Osinbajo’s continuation would blossom from the current state, which many described as mess.

President Muhammadu Buhari returned to the country, Friday March 10, 2017 after his plane landed at the Kaduna Airforce base before he was chauffeured to Aso Rock with an helicopter, after he was received by top government officials.

On arrival at Aso Rock, President Buhari, correspondent report, entered into meeting with service chiefs and chieftains of All Progressive Congress (APC) led by its chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun.

Earlier, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said, the extended holiday was based on doctors' recommendation for further tests and rest.

ITRealms, recalls that President Buhari left Nigeria on January 19, 2017 for a vacation, during which he had routine medical check-ups.

As said by Adesina, President Buhari expressed appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country, and beyond, who had prayed fervently for him, and also sent their good wishes.

Buhari’s Friday return raises anxiety @Presidency

The much anticipated return of President Muhammadu Buhari is creating some anxiety among Nigerians who are eagerly waiting to behold their president, reports ITRealms.

This is approaching as even more anxiety was reportedly heightened at the Presidency, where the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has been acting which some observers who would not like to be named have been working out well.

President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to return to the country tomorrow, Friday March 10, 2017.

Announcing the expected return of Buhari after weeks of extended vacation in the United Kingdom, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said, the holiday was extended based on doctors' recommendation for further tests and rest.

ITRealms, recalls that President Buhari left Nigeria on January 19, 2017 for a vacation, during which he had routine medical check-ups.

According to Adesina, President Buhari expressed appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country, and beyond, who had prayed fervently for him, and also sent their good wishes.

Aside the anxiety at the presidency, socio-economic political observers said the gains made against the United States Dollar ($) may shrink, therefore scaling up to some N500 per dollar, due to some body languages of Mr. President.

Ford offers 10 reasons why vans are coming back

The global automotive and mobility company, Ford, has offered explanation on the return of van as a preferred vehicle for artisans since the 1950s, reports ITRealms.

Recall that plumbers, electricians, and the like use vans to transport their tools and goods, and when families move home they call “The Man with a Van”.

ITRealms gathered that Africa’s vast distances and rough roads demand durability and toughness, noting that in South Africa, for instance, if someone needs something moved the appropriate thing to do is to generally ask a friend with a van or bakkie.

Also, ITRealms gathered that the Ford Transit, has become one of the best-selling vans in the world, since 1965 and is now available in South Africa in several new and exciting configurations with added features.

Officials confided in ITRealms that if you are looking for space, the Ford Transit Van has 15.1 cubic meters of cargo space in the back, which is 15,100 litres or the space to pack in 629 grocery shopping bags.

In addition, ITRealms reports that there is Ford Transit Custom Sport, which is available with all the same driving technology found in a luxury sedan. From Ford’s hands-free SYNC 2entertainment centre, lane-keeping alert, parking sensors, cruise control, rear-view camera, and electronic stability control, the Ford Transit Custom Sport could be the new ride for your family.

In furtherance to convince potential customers, Ford outlined 10 best features of Ford Transits including the limo, snowboarder, the artist, coffee shop, surfer dude, caterer, animal rescuer, food truck, pet stylist and mobility van. 

Ford emphasised as follows:
1.    The Limo
Stretch limousines are out of date. So Chicago-based Windy City Limousines converted their Ford Transit into a plush ride equipped to carry 13 passengers in luxury and style – with a wooden floor, black leather couch-style seating and two flat-screen televisions.
2.    The Snowboarder
This shred-ready Ford Transit is modified with a custom boot dryer, snowboard rack, tuning bench and portable DJ booth to make snowboarding even more fun for its riders. “It’s an absolute dream of a creative hub that we can do anything out of,” says So-Gnar CEO Pat Milbery.
3.    The Artist
The first Ford Transit buyer in the United States, ZL Feng, is an art professor and skilled artist who uses his van to transport his art to museums, galleries, art shows and art buyers’ homes. 
4.    The Coffee Shop
What better way to bring the people coffee than with a stylish mobile coffee shop. The Grateful Grail mobile coffee shop cruises around Baltimore, visiting local music festivals and events. Brothers and Grateful Grail owners Brian and David Seward customized the van themselves.
5.    The Surfer Dude
Champion surfer Izzy Paskowitz and his Surfers Healing team use a Ford Transit to transport surfboards, beach gear and life jackets as they introduce kids with autism to surfing. Check out the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8WlKYTbNyw
6.    The Caterer
Catering and vans go hand in hand. The jumbo Ford Transit van, used by Park Place Caterers in Ford HQ’s back yard, is customized with a liftgate and inverter to power a refrigerator and hotbox – delivering deliciousness to the local community.
7.    The Animal Rescuer
Shultz’s Guest House uses its Ford Transit to transport orphaned dogs – sometimes from several states away – to a private farm in Dedham, USA, where they are safe from being euthanized until permanent homes are found for them. 
8.    The Food Truck
Everyone’s favourite kind of van. The Spread’s Ford Transit is a mobile deli – serving breakfast and lunch sandwiches, wraps and fresh-baked bagels.
9.    The Pet Stylist
Wag ’n Tails Mobile Conversions in Granger, USA, converts Ford Transit vans into fully self-contained mobile pet grooming studios, complete with full-size tubs, hydro-massage shampoo systems, grooming tables, blow dryers, vacuums and fridges.

10.  The Mobility Van
Eighty-six-year-old Forrest Baker explores the Pacific Northwest with the help of his specially modified Ford Transit, which includes a lift for his off-road wheelchair, high-visibility lights and bull guard. “Without a doubt, this is the finest purpose-built vehicle I have ever had the pleasure of owning,” Baker wrote to his Ford dealership where he has been a loyal customer for more than 45 years.

Return of Chibok schoolgirl renews hope - HRW

Commentary@ITRealms:
After more than two years, Amina Ali, one of the 276 schoolgirls Boko Haram fighters abducted from a Chibok school in a 2014 attack that sparked lasting international outrage, was found this week. She was reportedly identified by a member of a civilian vigilante group assisting Nigerian soldiers in the fight against Boko Haram.

Amina’s abduction with 275 other classmates from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state, became the symbol of Boko Haram’s capture of at least 2000 women and children over the course of the seven-year long insurgency in northeast Nigeria sparking international outrage as voiced though the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag, started by local activists. Since their abduction on April 14, 2014, only 57 of the girls had managed to escape at various stages of being captured; 219 remained hostages.

Until three days ago:

Just as Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau had boasted, Amina appeared to have been married (by force) and was found with her four-month-old child. The Nigerian army confirmed that a Boko Haram suspect found with her, Mohammed Hayatu, claimed to be her husband.

The return of one of the long missing girls is the best “proof of life,” and might provide the Nigerian authorities with some momentary relief from the unrelenting pressure they face over their failure to secure the girls’ return. That respite can only be temporary, however, not only because – despite the military’s claims of “rescuing” over 11,595 Boko Haram hostages – 218 of the Chibok girls remain missing, but also because of the challenges Amina and her baby will likely face.

While Amina may enjoy the same mental, medical, and educational support as her 57 classmates who escaped earlier, the length of her stay and the intensity of her experiences would require particular attention and treatment. The culture of silence, stigma, and shame around sexual abuse in the religiously conservative areas of northern Nigeria is likely to add to Amina’s trauma.

In 2014, Human Rights Watch documented the range of abuses Boko Haram abductees are subjected to in captivity, including forced conversion and forced marriage, as well as rape and other abuses. More recently, in an April 2016 report, Human Rights Watch cited an interview with a woman who saw 11 of the Chibok girls working at a hospital in Gwoza, Borno state. She said the girls had been forcibly married, with some either pregnant or with babies.

UNICEF and International Alert warned in a February 2016 report about the mistrust and persecution that women and girls who return from abduction with children face upon return to their communities.

The Nigerian authorities should intensify efforts to find the remaining missing girls, as President Muhammadu Buhari recently promised to do. But they should also take urgent steps to ensure that those who do return home find peaceful acceptance, support, and reintegration.

Don't issue certificate of return to Andy Ubah, he stole my mandate, Ndukwe cautions INEC



The former Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Senatorial candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the Anambra South in Saturday’s election, Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), not to recognize or issue certificate of return to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Andy Ubah, reports ITRealms.


Ndukwe who was speaking to newsmen at Oraifite in Ekwusigo local government area of Anambra State, said that from the results recorded on Form EC8A1 in all the polling units within the Senatorial zone he contested, evidently showed that he won strikingly, advising Mr. Andy Uba who has been parading himself as winner to surrender.


“The people of Anambra South senatorial zone voted massively for me in all the seven local government areas, but it is so disheartening that some people decided that the wish of the people should be thwarted,” he lamented.

Ndukwe said that it’s a known fact that the result of every election comes from the polling unit, decrying that the card reader could not work optimally coupled with the resumption of voting late.

“Unfortunately, because the card readers did not work, voting started late end stretched into the night. And because there was no light, there was no collation at the ward level and everything had to be taken to the local government collation center,

He alleged that it was at this point the security agents joined some members of PDP in manipulating the election in addition to intimidating the INEC ad hoc staff.

“Form EC8A is there to prove it because you cannot get a different thing in the field and then announce a different thing as   the result. It is not done. I think in the course of time, my people will have the leader they voted for.

“No proper collation was done anywhere in Anambra South Senatorial zone. There was wide spread of falsification of results and inducement. Corpers were influenced and even when the Returning Officer refused to announce the doctored results, the PDP stalwarts had to force another INEC officer to announce the falsified results,” he claimed.

Ndukwe also said his mandate must be return to him, while he commended voters in the zone for the support given to him.

“I, therefore, call on INEC not to allow this charade to stand by not issuing certificate of return to PDP because there were irregularities of the highest order,” Ndukwe insisted..
