Police in Enugu have had a shootout with a gang of robbers and cultists within Nsukka town and gunned down two notorious suspects.
The incident happened on 9 December, according to the state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Ebere Amaraizu.
He said Police recovered one locally made single barrel gun with five cartridges from the suspects
The killed suspects have been identified as Igwebuike Ugwu alias Ntu and Ifeanyi Eya alias Hero. Amaraizu said the two men were members of the Vikings cult that had terrorised the university town of Nsukka.
“One of the deceased, Ifeanyi Eya, alias Hero, was the Capo of the Viking cult group in the university town of Nsukka,’’ he said.
“It was further gathered that the deceased suspects and their cohort have been involved in various armed robbery incidences at students’ hostels at Hill-top Area of Nsukka and its environs”.
Amaraizu said that their corpses had been deposited at Bishop Shanaham Mortuary, Nsukka
He said police swooped on the robbery gang after they received a distress call its members were operating along Agbu Ugwu lane and dispossessing people of their belongings.
“It was further gathered that suspects engaged the operatives in a gun duel and were over-powered by the operatives leaving suspects fatally injured while other members of the gang suspected to have been touched by bullets escaped through the bush”.
The Police PRO said manhunt on the fleeing ones have been intensified.
He urged hospitals and clinics to report promptly anyone seeking medical attention for suspected gun shot injury.

Traffic Signs and Signals

As a result of the United Nations Sponsored Workshop on Road Signs and Signals, Road Traffic Administration and Road Safety Legal Instruments which held at the CBN International Training Institute, Abuja – Tuesday 28th to Wednesday 29th November, 2017, with particular reference to the 1968 Convention on Road Signs and Signals, this week’s article throws a little bit of light on traffic signs. Traffic signs and signals help indicate the rules of the road and are designed for the safe movement of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. As a driver, you are required to know them. The shapes of traffic signs enable you to identify them easily. Clear and efficient signing is an essential part of highway and traffic engineering and a road with poor signing or with badly maintained signs is classed as an unsatisfactory road.

The Oceanna: redefining Nigeria’s skyline

Each country’s skyline is defined by her most iconic structures, be they natural or constructed. This is part of what determines the volume and quality of tourists that visit country, constantly. Tourists visit some countries just to see iconic projects, or monuments. The Flames of Azerbaijan and Burj Khalifa, Dubai are two iconic projects that define the skylines of and confer dignity on their host nations – Azerbaijan and Dubai. While some countries are famous for their religious/cultural landmarks, others are known for their man-made icons, such as the Statue of Liberty, New York, United States, the Eiffel Tower, Paris, and the Little Mermaid, Copenhagen, Denmark, to mention a few examples. Nigeria’s efforts at scripting her name and skyline in the roll of international landmarks is traceable to 1997 with the famous national theatre, purposely built for the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC). Hosting the world was always going to be a big iss...
