The Lagos Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, says the best person to tell a childs real age is a mother and not a birth certificate.  Jimoh shared this opinion while speaking on Channels TV on Tuesday, April 22. He appeared on the TV station to address issues surrounding the 17-year-old viral sensation, Quadri Yusuf, who was arrested in January this year and was remanded in prison custody.  Following a public outcry, he was released last week from prison custody. In his interview with Channels TV this morning, the Police chief was questioned on why a minor was arrested, arraigned and remanded in prison custody. Responding, he saidThe record we have is that the boy stated that he is 18 and the best person to tell you the actual age of a person is the parent, not birth certificate that the lawyer is parading. It should be investigated because birth certificates are not issued inside phones. We all know how birth certificates are issued. Even if it is declaration of age, it is equally not issued inside a phone”Quadri became a viral sensation after he was captured on camera standing before Peter Obi’s convoy.  The post The best person to tell a childs age is a mother not birth certificate – Lagos Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, says appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

A massive protest erupted in Abuja on Tuesday as over 5,000 Nigerians, under the banner of Concerned Citizens Against Corruption, took to the streets, demanding the prosecution of Mele Kyari, the former CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

The protesters marched to the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, calling for an immediate investigation into NNPCL’s operations during Kyari’s five-year tenure.

Led by activist Kabir Matazu, the group accused Kyari of presiding over a culture of opacity and financial mismanagement that contributed to the nation’s economic woes.

“It is on record that the sack of the erstwhile corrupt leadership of the NNPCL drew applause from Nigerians.

“But Nigerians are disenchanted that Mr. President has only stopped at removing the former leadership without taking steps to investigate how Kyari and his cabal bled this country dry,” said Matazu

The protesters zeroed in on the controversial rehabilitation of government-owned refineries, pointing to billions of dollars allegedly spent without transparency.

Nigerians Demand Answers on $2B Deal With Matrix Energy

They also raised questions about a murky debt arrangement with Matrix Energy Limited, which is reportedly owed over $2 billion by NNPCL.

“What we are talking about here is a daily allocation of 80,000 barrels of crude oil to a non-state actor.

“This deal was signed during Kyari’s administration, and it is being used to service a debt that Nigerians know nothing about,” Matazu stated

The group demanded that the Attorney General initiate a judicial review and push for a commission of inquiry into NNPCL’s refinery contracts and financial dealings under Kyari.

They stressed that an investigation is necessary not just for the recovery of funds, but to ensure current and future officials are held accountable.

“If Nigeria must move forward, we must understand what went wrong, who is responsible, and how to prevent it from happening again,” Matazu said.

The protesters vowed to sustain their movement until the government takes decisive action.

Former college football standout Justin Blackmon was arrested for public intoxication on Saturday, April 19, with a police report obtained by TMZ Sports revealing details of the incident.  The 35-year-old ex-Oklahoma State University receiver’s arrest drew attention over the weekend, with fans noting his altered appearance in the mugshot. According to the police report, officers responded to a call at 1:32 AM regarding a “larger black male” lying on the ground. By the time they arrived, the man had gotten up and walked into a campus building. Upon making contact, officers observed that Blackmon was unsteady on his feet, smelled strongly of alcohol, and was wearing wet clothes. His speech was described as “slurred and confusing.” When questioned about his actions, Blackmon told officers he was attempting to walk home. However, when asked for his destination, he repeatedly mentioned “Stillwater,” a town, but admitted he did not live there, saying, “You got me.” He then complied with officers’ instructions to turn around and place his hands behind his back. The report noted that two sets of handcuffs were required due to Blackmon’s body size and the girth of his wrists. When being escorted to a patrol car, officers found he was unable to fit in the back seat because of his size. As a result, a larger patrol car was brought in, and Blackmon was transported to jail for booking and processing. Blackmon, who stands at 6’2″ and weighs 230 pounds, is about 20 pounds heavier than his playing weight during his time at OSU and in the NFL. After a promising college career, Blackmon was drafted fifth overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2012 NFL Draft. However, his professional career was cut short when he was indefinitely suspended for multiple violations of the NFL’s substance abuse policy. The post Former NFL star Justin Blackmon couldn’t fit into police car after arrest, two sets of handcuffs were required to hold him appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
