EDO: GOVT THUGS AGAIN ATTACK EDOSCO

EDO STATE GOVERNMENT THUGS ATTACK EDOCSO AGAIN ON THE PRIVATISED SPECIALIST HOSPITAL




 By: Osaze Edigin 

 ...EDOCSO holds Press Conference today ....guns and ammunitions loaded in the vehicle for possible killing of protesters ...Rave TV camera stolen by thugs ...phone and personal belongings of protesters stolen with bodily injuries True to our expectations, Edo state government sent its uniformed thugs and political urchins once again to attack and unleash mayhem on the h protest of Edo Civil Society Organisations today. The thugs pouncing on them and brandishing all manner of different dangerous weapons. The women and physically challenged persons among the protesters were not spared. Phones and personal belongings were stolen just as the camera of a news reporter with Rave TV, Mr. Jimoh Ogirima, was taken away violently. The vehicle used by the thugs to barricade the peaceful protesters in procession was loaded with assorted guns and ammunitions they intended to use if not for the intervention of some military personnel that came to the rescue. It should be of note this is the third time the state government is sending its thugs to attack members of EDOCSO who have been demanding the cancellation of the privatised Specialist Hospital that the poor masses can no longer access. EDOCSO in its General Assembly held a Press Conference today to brief Edo people of the current privatisation spree of public institutions to certain individuals and corporate entities without the knowledge of same people that elected the current government. The truth still remains that Edo people deserve to know what the government have done with their Specialist Hospital and other public institutions irrespective of how hard the government tries to suppress our agitations. Since Governor Obaseki is set to kill the citizens by mobilizing thugs with guns on peaceful protesters, the agitation has just started. WE SHALL CONTINUALLY DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY FROM GOVERNMENT. Leftist Osazee Edigin Public Relations Officer Edo Civil Society Organisations

Disregard Forces Of Darkness In Ambrose Alli University

OPINION Disregard Forces Of Darkness In Ambrose Alli University By: Imoudu Peter Since the Selection Panel for the appointment of a new substantive Vice Chancellor began its assignment, our beloved university, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, has witnessed a recrudescence of the evil machinations of these seemingly entrenched forces of darkness.  Social media and a few nondescript media outlets have been awash with their odious, scurrilous, insensate and markedly false publications. Who are these desperados and what exactly do they want? It must be anything but the over all well-being and best interests of our great University.  Masquerading under faceless groups and anonyms, these media rats have been calling out the name of our most illustrious former substantive Vice Chancellor, Professor I.A. Onimawo and spewing absolute gibberish! What has the poor former VC got to do with the Selection Panel’s remit over the appointment of Principal officers for Ambrose Alli University?...
