Reported Arms: IGP Fails To Meet Senator Amosun

Premium Times a few days ago reported that it got an exclusive information that immediate past Ogun state governor and current serving Senator, Ibikunle Amosun surrendered some arms and ammunition to the Nigeria Police Force.

Further information from Premium Times has it that: The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, met with Ibikunle Amosun at the Senate on Tuesday, but did not take the embattled former governor in for questioning.

Mr Amosun has come under public backlash and a growing chorus for his arrest after PREMIUM TIMES revealed how he handed over a large cache of weapons to Ogun State police commissioner, Bashir Makama.

The handover occurred barely a few hours before Mr Amosun concluded his eight years as governor on May 29.

Mr Amosun did not return PREMIUM TIMES’ request for comments prior to the publication of the story, and he has remained silent in the face of outrage that greeted the revelation.

Calls for Mr Amosun to be arrested transcended political lines on Tuesday, with most commentators expressing fears about the country’s porous security architecture.

PREMIUM TIMES also learnt that Mr Makama did not report receipt of the weapons to the Force Headquarters, which top police sources said was against standard operating procedure.

When the inspector-general met with Mr Amosun at a meeting chaired by Senate President Ahmed Lawan on Tuesday afternoon, he did not yield to public demand for police’s intervention in the arms scandal.

Pictures circulated by the Senate President’s office showed Messrs Amosun and Adamu sitting only across one another on a midsize conference table — with Mr Lawan sitting on the table’s head in-between the duo.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
