Two Nigerian Policewomen Caught On Tape Extorting Money From A Driver May Get Fired

Two Nigerian policewomen attached to the Traffic Unit of Makinde Police Station, Mafoluku, Lagos, caught on camera demanding and receiving a bribe of N100 from a commercial driver along the Apapa-Oshodi expressway in Lagos will soon know their fate as the Police Provost Unit of the Lagos Police Command has concluded their orderly room trial.

SaharaReporters learnt that the husband of one of the policewomen has appealed to the police authorities to release his wife from detention as well as forgive her for the offence she had committed.
A source in the police station identified the women as Corporals Elizabeth Itona and Jenifer Azingbe, stating that “We heard they have finished orderly room trial for them today (Monday).”
The source told SaharaReporters that Corporal Azingbe is being detained withbher seven-month-old baby identified as Nathaniel.
According to him, “Corporal Jenifer is breast feeding her baby and she is in detention with him. The baby is seven months old and that is why the husband and her people came to plead for her release.”
A video recording had been posted on Youtube by one Afro Finlandia, which showed a policewoman demanding and extorting N100 from a commercial bus driver on Apapa-Oshodi expressway.

A commuter in the bus had recorded the extortion negotiation showing the driver appealing to the policewoman who had stopped the bus from moving after picking commuter on the expressway.
As the driver’s pleading had fallen on deaf ears, he angrily said, “Don’t abuse me because of N100. How much is N100? Me I don pass N100.”
The policewoman who was sitting in the bus was adamant as she said in pidgin English, “E no concern me. Pay me my own money.”
The driver was seen telling the conductor to give the policewoman the N100 so that the bus could proceed on its journey.
“Give her N100. I will return it to you later,” the driver had said Yoruba.
The policewoman alighted from the bus after collecting the N100 and in company with another colleague walked away from the bus to their duty post of controlling traffic.
The video on the social media caused outrage which led to the arrest of the women last week.
An orderly room trial into the case was also held last week and the Policewomen may be dismissed just like one Sergeant Christopher Omoleze attached to the same station also caught on video posted on Youtube negotiating a N25,000 bribe.
The Nigerian Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar had ordered the dismissal of Omoleze and the same fate may befall the policewomen.

ABORTION: Okorocha At War With Catholic Bishop

The Imo State Government and the
Catholic Archdiocese of Owerri are
now on warpath following the
legalization of abortion in the state.
Consequently, the Archbishop of the Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Obinna has demanded that the two obnoxious law containing the anti-life legislation said to have been signed into law by
both Governor Rochas Okorocha and his predecessor Chief Achike Udenwa in 2012 and 2007 respectively be repealed.
Addressing newsmen in Owerri, on the forthcoming 2013 Odenigbo Lecture of the Diocese, Dr. Obinna regretted that in spite of the public outcry and pleas to the State House of Assembly not to pass
the evil law legalizing abortion in 2010, Governor Okorocha quietly signed the bill as Imo State Law No 12 which he said contains the obnoxious lethal legislation
on the 29th of May 2012 and thus
coinciding with Nigeria's Democracy Day.

The law, the bishop lamented, now
threatens many conceived unborn
children in the state with death.
The Catholic prelate also slammed ex- Governor Achike Udenwa for equally signing on 25th May 2007 "the gender and Equal Opportunity Law 2007 No 7" which he said, equally legalized abortion without considering the right of the unborn child.
"Since abortion is a murder of the
helpless child, we as a God-fearing
people in Imo State cannot stand by and allow this law to rampage our society in the name of Women's Reproductive and Gender Rights," he warned.
While calling for the immediate repealing of the two abortion laws in the state, the Archbishop said that although the church will not be mired in the nation's murky waters of partisan politics, it will continue to demonstrate interest in the nation's democratic process for the common good of the people.
However, most people in the state have expressed the fear that the law did not only legalize abortion and prostitution but may have also legalized the
trafficking in human embryo as section 38(h) and (I)of the legislation seem to suggest.

The Catholic Medical Practitioners who were the first to speak vehemently
against the law slammed the state
legislators for passing such an obnoxious and inhuman law which has not only given license for promiscuity but has inadvertently sanctioned murder of unborn babies in the state, as well as encourages the trafficking of ovarian eggs in the state.
According to Dr Philip Njamanze,
president of the association, considering the contents of the law as passed by the state legislators implies that a woman is entitled to have an abortion even at the ninth month no matter how she conceived it.

He noted that the section which gives the right to every woman to take decisions about her health needs and requirements implies that abortion has been legalized and operational in the state, irrespective of how the pregnancy was conceived.
