Brace up for leadership, be health-conscious – AIG to newly inducted ASPs
The Assistant Inspector General of Police for Zone Six in Calabar, Jonathan Towuru, has urged recently promoted Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) to exemplify practical leadership qualities and uphold police discipline. During the official induction of 47 ASPs into the Zonal Command Officers Mess, Towuru emphasized the greater responsibilities that come with their new positions.
In his guidance to the newly promoted officers, Towuru stated, “I want to charge you to realize that you are leaders of the rank and file in the police units you are posted to. You must display this leadership role as you can be posted to any part of the country. You must maintain police discipline.” Additionally, he urged them to prioritize their health, advising regular checkups, exercises, and proper nutrition.
Towuru also cautioned the ASPs to adhere to the standards and operational rules of the Officers’ Mess. Retired Commissioner of Police, Gabriel Achong, echoed this sentiment, expressing concern about the decline in discipline and inadequate official dressing habits within the force. He emphasized the importance of maintaining discipline to lead effectively and discouraged favoritism that could undermine the integrity of the job and the system.
The President of the Mess, DCP Abayomi Shogunle, described the Officers’ Mess as a ‘Court of Injustice,’ where every movement is considered an offense. He highlighted the necessity for every police officer to belong to a Mess, outlining three levels, including Officers, Inspectors, and the Rank and file Mess.
Speaking on behalf of the newly inducted officers, ASPs Benedict Okwoche and Lucy Ejuba acknowledged the challenges posed by their promotions and inductions. They expressed their commitment to working hard to maintain the trust placed in them. The 47 inductees took their oath of allegiance during the ceremony.
Convicted billionaire kidnapper Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans, and his co-accused Joseph Emeka, have requested a plea bargain in their high-profile kidnapping case.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the State lead counsel, Mr. Yusuf Sule, disclosed the plea bargain request to the court on Thursday during the case’s call for re-arraignment. The case is being heard by Justice Adenike Cokers of the Ikeja High Court.
Evans and Emeka were scheduled to be re-arraigned on an amended five-count charge, including murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit felony to wit: kidnapping, and attempted murder.
Sule informed the court, “The case was for re-arraignment, but I am aware that the defendants have applied for a plea.”
The prosecutor also noted that the plea bargain terms are being reviewed by the Attorney-General of Lagos State, Mr. Lawal Pedro (SAN).
Peruvian Health Minister Cesar Vasquez has classified transgender, non-binary, and intersex individuals as mentally ill.
On May 10, Peruvian President Dina Boluarte, Health Minister Cesar Vasquez, and Minister of Economy and Finance Arista Arbildo signed a decree. This decree states that transsexualism, dual-role transvestism, gender identity disorder in childhood, other gender identity disorders, and egodystonic sexual orientation are all categorized as mental health problems.
Cesar Vasquez explained that the decree was necessary for Peru’s public health services to ensure comprehensive medical attention for mental health issues.
The decree has sparked outrage among the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) community, which has labeled it discriminatory.
A medical researcher at Lima’s Scientific University of the South noted that although the decree might have been well-intentioned, it shows a lack of understanding of complex LGBT issues and potentially opens the door to conversion therapy.
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has singled out captain Bruno Fernandes as the only senior player the club should retain at Old Trafford this summer.
Rooney urged the Red Devils to conduct a major clear-out of players during the summer transfer window.
This recommendation follows Fernandes’ key role in Manchester United’s crucial 3-2 victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Speaking to Sky Sports (via United in Focus), Rooney stated:
“He is the one player with quality and fight in him. I would keep the young players and Bruno, but all the other players need to go. There has to be a massive clear-out. It’s not going to happen in one year, but over the next couple of years.”
He added, “To compete with Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, they need better players.”
