Police Officer Kills Man In Ekiti, Leaves Another Critically Injured (Graphic)

Another case of extrajudicial killing has been reported in Ekiti, where a Nigerian Police Personnel has shot two citizens, leaving one dead and another critically injured.

An eye-witness, Teejay (@TunjiAde_) reported the incident via micro-blogging site, twitter.

Some of us were inside the bar watching football. Some guys don't bother entering, they just stay outside to drink (you'll see that from where that guy is). So, the policemen drove in, it was normal for a car to drive in! We just heard gunshot, we were running away already before.

We realised it was the policemen attached to one man (seems it's the owner of the hotel, 'Queens court hotel'. We thought everything was fine, then we realised the bullet hit that guy by the side of the stomach and one man on the leg.

One man was just complaining that the policemen have been warned severally to stop shooting to announce their presence when they enter the hotel. Seems it's the practice of the policemen to shoot when they enter just to flex their muscles. The policemen we're only trigger happy, they just felt like shooting bruh��

Tax Super Rich To Save The Poor — Atiku Tells President Buhari

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday urged the Federal Government to increase taxes on the super-rich in order to raise government income as the county slides into recession, Igbere TV reports.

Atiku tweeted his idea of how Nigeria could survive recession after the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced on Saturday that the nation’s GDP contracted by 3.62 per cent in the third quarter of 2020, better than its 6.10 per cent contraction in the second quarter.

Atiku said the recession could have been avoided if the Buhari administration had listened to him and others.

He called on the government to first of all scrap the 2021 budget, saying it “is no longer tenable.”

“For example, a stimulus package, in the form of monthly cash transfers of ₦5,000 to be made to every bank account holder, verified by a Bank Verification Number, whose combined total deposit in the year 2019 was lower than the annual minimum wage,” he said.

On how to fund the stimulus package, Igbere TV reports that Atiku suggested that a luxury tax be placed on goods and services accessible only to the extremely wealthy individuals.

“Now, how will this be funded? By more profligate borrowing? No. I propose a luxury tax on goods and services that are exclusively accessible only to the super-wealthy. A tax on the ultra wealthy to protect the extremely poor,” Atiku said.

Putin Not Ready To Recognise Biden As US President Yet

Russian leader says he’s ready to work with Trump or Biden

Move won’t damage relations because they’re ‘already ruined’

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he’s ready to work with any U.S. leader, but still isn’t ready to recognize the election victory of Joe Biden.

“We will work with anyone who has the confidence of the American people,” Putin said on Russian state TV Sunday. “But that confidence can only be given to a candidate whose victory has been recognized by the opposing party, or after the results are confirmed in a legitimate, legal way.”

The comments are some of the most detailed since the election from Putin, one of a dwindling number of leaders who haven’t recognized Biden as the next U.S. head of state. Russia, accused by U.S. intelligence agencies of intervening in 2016 to help get Trump elected, has been wary of Biden, fearing an increase in sanctions pressure and clashes over human rights.

Putin described the Kremlin’s decision not to congratulate Biden as “a formality” with no ulterior motives. When asked if the move could damage U.S.-Russia relations, he said: “there’s nothing to damage, they’re already ruined.”

PDP Dismisses Purported Suspension Of Egwu, Others In Ebonyi

The @OfficialPDPNig dismisses misleading publications suggesting that some key leaders in Ebonyi state, including former Governor of Ebonyi state, Senator Sam Egwu and 23 other leaders were suspended from our party.

The @OfficialPDPNig stated that no PDP leader in Ebonyi has been suspended adding that the document purporting the suspension is fictitious and did not emanate from the Ebonyi state chapter of our party as suggested.

For the avoidance of doubt the @OfficialPDPNig does not have a state working committee in Ebonyi state as presented by the said fictitious document. As such, any such body said to have met to arrive at any decision or any action claimed to have been taken by such non-existent body is at best imaginary.

The public is already aware that the body vested with the task of piloting the affairs of our party in Ebonyi state is the State Caretaker Committee, which has since assumed its mandate to the approval and delight of the leaders and members of our party in Ebonyi state since the dissolution of our state executive in the state.

Moreover, a check at the records of our party in Ebonyi affirms that no such meeting as purported in the said document was held to take any such decision at any time.

However, we have been made aware that the fabricated document emanated from a former leader of our party in Ebonyi state who left on a personal voyage to another party, but seeks to cause confusion in the state, having failed to pull our leaders and members in his expedition.
