Bar Owner Shoots Man Dead In Oyo (Graphic Photos)

As shared by Taiwo.... 

'When will the federal government and the house make laws that will restrict the Military and uniform men from carrying ammunition at civil gatherings. When will our law enforcement agencies stop killing those they are meant to protect?

On Monday 26th of February at exactly 6:45pm, myself( Adeleke Taiwo) Kehinde and some if our friends got to trans to chill after the day's work. That is how we have been going there since 2016 without causing any trouble in the vicinity. Before now, we have always been seeing men if the operation Burst with Seyi (Fathers Luski) the owner of the Bar. 

They drink, chat and smoke together on a daily basis. He always use them as a tool of oppression over anyone who question him. At exactly 7:20pm, Kehinde Adeleke, a young, intelligent and friendly young man who just clocked 30 years last month was shot with a gun of one of the men of the operation Burst constituted by the Abiola Ajimobi led government in Oyo state at the Trans Amusement Park around Agbowo.

It was gathered that, Kehinde who was killed by Father Luski and men of the operation burst sent his immediate younger brother Damola an errand to get him food. On Damola's return, some guys were arguing with him for parking space and all of a sudden the guy slapped Damola Adeleke. Someone went to call Kehinde Adeleke that his younger brother Damola is being beaten up by some guys. On getting there, Kehinde was trying to inquire what transpired between the duo.

However, during the conversation, Seyi( Father Luski) the owner of the bar appeared with some men of the Operation Burst who even without any question from those involved in an argument asked father Luski what was wrong then father Luski pointed to Damola Adeleke as the trouble maker. 

Immediately he said that, one of the men of the operation Burst smashed a big stick on Damola's head who fainted immediately. People rushed to get water and pour it on him. As that was going on, Kehinde was telling Father Luski that he has not done well that he supposed to settle this and not put blame on one person. 

The argument went on for almost 5minutes before Father Luski became angry and collected riffle hanged on the shoulder from one of his friends (Men of the Operation Burst) then shot Kehinde in the neck which I was there with the owner of the Bar (seyi AKA father luski ), I was the one hold and dragged the owner of the bar (seyi) in to my car that he had killed my immediately twin brother which he could not escaped.When people heard the gun shot, everywhere was scattered . The operation burst now started spraying gun shots around the premises.

The remaining men of the operation burst ran away but when they got to know that The second in command and the owner of the bar that shot kehinde Adeleke which is called Father Luski has been apprehended by Kehinde's brothers and friends, the operation burst locked the Trans gate and prevented them from taking Kehinde to the hospital for over 30min.

Tope was the one driving the car where Kehinde was kept. Some men of the operation burst pointed gun to his head that he should open the door for The apprehended culprit to escape.

Immediately when we left there, we took Kehinde Adeleke to UCH, he was rejected, we immediately took him to Eleyele police Hospital at the police headquarters, the Doctors there said he was still alive but they don't have necessary tools to carry out any surgery on him that we should take him to Molly Hospital at IDI APE. 

When we discovered that these hospitals are not attending to us, we called our friend and Brother, Babatunde Badmus who then help us took him to Molly Hospital from Eleyele. On getting to Molly hospital, we were told by the doctor who attended to us that they couldn't feel any pulse again. Then we went to UCH to reaffirm that. On getting to UCH, we saw three patrol vans of operation burst fully loaded with men and ammunition. 

They blocked the normal entrance then we took the exit so that we can get to the emergency ward. While we were going to Molly hospital, two of our friends who could not follow the car we were carrying took bike and waited for us at the emergency gate of UCH. 

It was later realized that men of the operation burst arrested these two guys, tortured them and asked them to call us to come out that they want to arrest all of us.( Those guys were not handed over to the police for questioning but we're brutally tortured overnight by the operation burst in their office around NTA IBADAN. 

They failed to arrest us because of our number and our peaceful resistance coordinated by Babatunde Badmus who helped us to drive him to all the hospitals. Immediately when we entered the emergency, the colonel in charge of the Operation Burst commanded his men to take positions as if they want to wage war against us. They started corking their guns and pointing it at us. 

Then Babatunde Badmus went to meet the leader of the team and have a discussion with him on why should his men bring ammunition to the hospital where civilians are being treated? But he had no tangible answer. At the end, we had some videos of the Operation Burst fully armed inside the hospital and how they were ready to kill more people. We all went there without any ammunition. We were only sad because our brother was killed yet, we were being victimized by the law enforcement agencies.

We later took him to the Mortuary with some men of Sango Police station where his body was kept'

FG commences housing projects in 33 states – Fashola

Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said the Federal Government has begun a national housing scheme in 33 states under which it plans to build 2,736 housing units across the country.

According to a statement by his media aide, Hakeem Bello, the minister said this in Abuja at the Sixth National Council Meeting on Lands, Housing and Urban Development themed; “Building for Inclusion, Growth and Prosperity.”

The former Lagos state governor said the scheme is also creating employment opportunities for Nigerians. Apart from artisans, 653 contractors were engaged in the pilot scheme and a total of 54,680 people were employed in the process, he said.

“This must give a lot of hope to our people that this Government will do what it says, and I want to thank all the states who gave us land, the staff of the Ministry who have worked hard to drive the programme, and the Honourable Minister of State, Mustapha Baba Shehuri, who has been visiting and inspecting project sites,” Mr. Fashola said.

“I have myself made whistle stop visits to our sites in Taraba, Gombe, Ekiti, Oyo and what I saw demonstrates to me very clearly how impactful the National Housing Programme has been, even at the pilot and inception stage.

“The bricklayers I met in Taraba, Gombe and Ekiti, Rilwanu Adamu and Abubakar Umar, who asked me to thank President Buhari, for putting them back to work, the owners of the cement mixer in Oyo who said that his equipment has been idle for two years but was now earning N20,000 daily on our site in Oyo.

“And of course, Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel, a builder and caterer respectively who live in Lagos, but who now find dignity, labour and employment…” he added.

Commenting on Nigeria’s housing deficit, Mr. Fashola maintained that rather than complain about the size of the deficit, the government was putting efforts in place to address the deficit.

“Yes, I understand the need to get value for money and the processes that have been put in place by previous administrations to guide procurement,” he said.

“The question we must ask ourselves then is whether we have truly saved money and whether we have developed?

“On the evidence that is available, the country has clearly made more money from oil sales in the last decade that cannot be accounted for by way of project delivery and infrastructure development.

“But if this was not enough problem, the procurement requirements then limits the amount of advance payment Government can pay to 15% and sets conditions that overlook the level of literacy of the vast majority of our people and the nature of small businesses that they run.”

ILLEGAL MINING: Nigeria releases eight Chinese citizens

Eight Chinese nationals arrested in Plateau State for alleged illegal mining activities, have been released, their Nigerian associates have disclosed.

The Chinese citizens and 12 Nigerians were arrested on August 14 on the order of the National Security Adviser, Ali Monguno, after he visited the site of their illegal mining activities in Plateau State in the company of the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Kayode Fayemi.

The spokesperson of the company believed to be associated with the Chinese men, Solid Unit Limited, Suleiman Adamu, said in a telephone interview on Friday that the men were released a week ago, after five days in police custody.

“They were released last Friday, but they were directed to be reporting to the police headquarters in Abuja periodically. They reported on Wednesday and they will report again in two weeks.

“They were initially taken to the Ministry of Mine and Steel Development and later detained at the police headquarters in Abuja for five days,” he said.

On the company’s chief executive declared wanted by Nigerian authorities, the company’s spokesman said Abdullahi Usman was ready to give himself up if invited by the Minister, Mr. Fayemi.

“He cannot just go to the minister without formal invitation. Declaring him wanted is not an invitation. That was why in our earlier press conference here in Jos, we condemned the statement of the minister.

“Alhaji Abdullahi Adamu Usman (Dan China), the chief executive of Solid Unit Limited, is a law abiding citizen with reputable character. He will honor invitation of the minister any time the minister deemed it fit to invite him,” he said.

Mr. Adamu accused the residents of Bashar community, one of the communities in Wase local government area of Plateau State where the company is operating, of inciting government against the company.

He said the mining company had mutual understanding with Kampani, its host community.

“Our company recently signed a new community development service agreement requiring for facilities within the community and the company was preparing to commence work but for the interference of hoodlums from a strange community called Bashar, which is located more than 100 kilometres from the mining site. They have truncated and sabotaged our activities,” he claimed.

The federal government officials and Plateau state governor, Simon Lalong, shut down operations of the mining company and arrested its field workers on August 14 for allegedly undertaking illegal mining activities.
