HOUSE COMMITTEE ON NAVY SET TO PROBE THE ORDEAL OF SEAMAN ABBAS HARUNA

The House of Representatives Committee on Navy has vowed to dig into the unlawful detention of Seaman Abbas Haruna for nearly six years, allegedly on the instruction of one Brigadier General MS Adamu, with a pledge to ensuring that all those involved in the saga are made to face the full consequences of their actions.

The ordeal of Seaman Abbas, as narrated by his wife Mrs Hussaina Iliyasu on 'Berekete', a Human Rights Television program, started in 2018 when he was drafted on a joint operations in Sarti Baruwa Taraba state, where he was to serve under the command of Brigadier MS Adamu, but a misunderstanding ensued between the duo, leading to his detention under inhuman condition for several years without proper trial as enshrined in the Armed Forces Act 2004 Law of the Federation of Nigeria.

The inhuman treatment meted on the naval personnel over a minor misunderstanding with his superior army officer, had made many audience in the studio to shed tears while the wife was narrating her husband's ordeal.

The degree of heartlessness exhibited by Brigadier General MS Adamu to his subordinate over a minor incident, has drawn wide condemnation from millions of conscious Nigerians who heard the story.

The pathetic story of Seaman Abbas Haruna, monitored on 'Berekete' has prompted the House of Representatives Committee on Navy to wade into the matter with the view of unfolding the truth and upholding the integrity of our military and the right of every individual under the extant law of the land. Additionally, the need to also fish out all officers involved and follow up with the military hierarchy to ensure everyone who has a hand in the gross violation of Seaman Abbas' rights are decisively brought to book.

Signed:
Rt Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, PhD OON.
Chairman Committee on Navy.

UAE visa only available to Nigerians from 45 years with N16 million monthly closing bank balance

While noting that the foreign government was accepting visa applications from Nigerian nationals, UAE attached a list of stringent rules that must be followed.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities have mandated that Nigerian solo tourists must be 45 years or older before they can visit the Asian country, according to a new set of travel guidelines seen by Peoples Gazette.

While noting that the foreign government was accepting visa applications from Nigerian nationals, UAE attached a list of stringent rules that must be followed.

The guideline stated that Nigerian tourists who intend to travel to the country must have an account balance of at least $10,000 or N16 million to be eligible for a 30- or 60-day travel visa.

“SIx-month bank statement under passenger name, with closing balance not less than $10000 each month” and a “confirmed return ticket on Emirates Airlines” were among the explicit terms and conditions to qualify for a UAE visa.

Other conditions include “confirmed hotel booking” and a “valid residence permit of the country of residence.”

Nigeria and UAE previously locked horns in a diplomatic row that made it impossible for Nigerians to visit the latter since September 2022.

But after closed-door concessions were made, the Emiratis announced the visa ban on Nigerians was lifted

THE WOMAN WHO ORIGINATED THE ,THAT'S PRESENT IN ALL NIGERIAN MILITARY BARRACKS😍

This is a story about the origin of the Mammy market, which is present in all Nigerian military barracks.

In every military barrack in Nigeria, there is a place where soldiers and residents go to eat, drink, and buy their daily needs. It is called "Mammy market". The Mammy market was named after a woman called "Mammy Maria Ochefu".

She was married to Col. Anthony Ochefu, and they both lived in the military barrack in Enugu State before Col. Ochefu was transferred to Kaduna State. To kill idleness and make some money, Mammy Ochefu established a business selling soft drinks, as well as a local beverage popularly known as "Kunu", which she prepared herself.

She soon became popular as soldiers trooped to her house to buy the beverage. After a short while, there were complaints from people that the drink attracted flies, and Mammy Ochefu had to stop its production and sale.

Shortly afterwards, pressure from her clients inspired a colonel to set up a section behind the barracks to make it more conducive to produce and sell her drinks. A tent was built for her there and Mammy's business began to boom again.

Soon, other women in the barracks became inspired by Mammy's industrious nature and started to sell other items at the section set up for her. This part of the barracks became known as the "Mammy market".

Mammy Ochefu's family was often transferred to different states across the country and wherever they went, she would always establish a Mammy market in the barracks. Before transferring to another State, Mammy Ochefu would hand over the market to women she trusted but ask that they retain the name.

Since then, all military barracks in Nigeria began to set up Mammy markets. Mammy Ochefu's husband died a few years after they moved to their hometown in Otukpo (Benue State), where Mammy currently resides.

UGANDAN POLICE ARREST WOMEN PROTESTING CORRUPTION N**E

Ugandan Police Arrest Women Protesting Corruption with N**e March Toward Parliament

In a bold and controversial demonstration, a group of women in Uganda was arrested by police after staging a n**e protest against corruption as they marched towards Parliament in Kampala. The women, who intended to draw attention to the pervasive corruption plaguing the country, stripped off their clothes and walked through the streets, a stark symbol of their vulnerability and the stripping away of the nation’s dignity by corrupt officials.

The protest, which quickly garnered significant attention, was met with a swift response from law enforcement. Police intervened, arresting the women before they could reach the gates of Parliament. According to witnesses, the women were peacefully protesting, chanting slogans and carrying placards denouncing corruption and the lack of accountability among government officials.

The arrest of the protesters has sparked a heated debate about the state of free expression and the right to protest in Uganda. While authorities have maintained that the arrests were necessary to maintain public order, critics argue that the government is increasingly intolerant of dissent, especially when it comes to exposing corruption.

Human rights activists have condemned the arrests, calling for the immediate release of the women and urging the government to address the root causes of the protest—namely, the widespread corruption that continues to erode public trust in Uganda’s institutions. They argue that the women's actions, though provocative, were a desperate plea for transparency and justice in a system that many feel is failing them.

As the story continues to unfold, the incident has drawn attention both domestically and internationally, highlighting the ongoing struggles over corruption, freedom of expression, and the right to protest in Uganda. Whether this protest will lead to meaningful dialogue and change, or simply be suppressed as another act of defiance against the state, remains to be seen.
