NSCDC officer and his brother accused of brutalising a grandmother and her daughter (graphic photos)

An NSCDC officer has been accused of teaming up with his brother to brutalize a grandmother and her daughter in Abuja.

The officer, identified as Mr Amaechi Anichebe, allegedly brutalized a middle-aged woman named Mrs Funmilayo Obatoke and her mother Mrs Dorcas Obatoke.

Mr Anichebe is said to be neighbours with the grandmother and her daughter in Dogongada village in Lokogoma, Abuja. 

According to Sterling Law Centre, Mr Anichebe went to the women's house with his brother on April 12 and asked them to follow him. The women, who already had a minor disagreement with Mr Anichebe prior to that day, refused to follow him outside, so he and his brother allegedly beat them up. They also allegedly used stones and bottles on them while beating them, leaving the women bleeding from deep cuts.

The incident was reported to the police station at Kabusa but it was alleged that no action was taken. It was also alleged that Mr Anichebe has been going about the community boasting that nothing will be done to him.

As a result, they decided to bring the incident to social media to raise awareness about the injustice.

After the story was made public, the NSCDC reacted, stating that disciplinary action has been taken against the officer involved. The NSCDC added that Mr Amaechi Anichebe has been suspended and an investigation is ongoing.

Reacting to the thread shared by Sterling Law, the NSCDC tweeted: "Displinary action has been taken against the affected staff "Amachi Anichebe" in the first instance.  He has been suspended while the investigation is ongoing on the matter.

"The Commandant General condemned the act and vowed to get to the root of the matter. Stressing that all individuals found to be connected in one way or the other with this disturbing act would be dealt with decisively."

Legendary Nigerian guitarist, Berkley Ike Jones of the defunct BLO is dead. Berkeley Ike Jones died weeks to his 72nd birthday. He died last night, June 28, in Asaba where he went for a job. Ike first appeared on the Nigerian music scene in the mid-1960s, as the drummer in the Port Harcourt-based teen pop group The Figures. In 1970, at the end of the Nigerian civil war, he signed on as lead guitarist in the rock n’ soul band The Funkees, where his adventurous guitar lines got him noticed by talent scouts who instantly whisked him off to Lagos and installed him in the high profile rock group The Clusters. The Clusters soon morphed into the Afro Collection under the leadership of Tee Mac Iseli, and then into SALT under Ginger Baker. Eventually the group splintered, giving birth to Nigeria’s first afro-rock power trio BLO–Berkley Ike Jones, Laolu Akins, and Mike Gbenga Odumosu. BLO was the rave in the 70s and early 80s. The group was one of Nigeria’s most res...

The U.K. government said Friday, Nov 27, that it plans to create a Digital Markets Unit (DMU) to enforce "a new code to govern the behavior of platforms that currently dominate the market, such as Google and Facebook."   The aim is to protect smaller competitors and give consumers more control over personal data.   Under the new code, some of the world’s biggest tech companies may have to be more transparent about the services they provide and how they use consumers’ data. They may also be forced to give consumers a choice over whether to receive personalized advertising, and they won’t be able to place restrictions on customers that make it difficult for them to use rival platforms.    The DMU, which will be part of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), will start work in April 2021.   The government said the DMU may be given the power to suspend, block and reverse decisions made by large tech companies. The DMU could a...
