Oyo Police Vow To Punish Officers Who Snatched Grandma’s N150,000 in Ibadan

Jesugbemi had claimed in a viral social media post that the sum N150,000 given to him by his grandmother to pay her rent was snatched by some policemen attached to the command at Apata area while he was on his way to deposit the money in the bank.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, in a statement on Friday, said: “The attention of the Oyo State police command was on Thursday, October 7, drawn to a one minute, 50 seconds video made by one Emmanuel Jesugbemi, alleging that he was, at gunpoint, robbed of his handset and cash to the tune of N150,000 by rogue police operatives, purportedly attached to the command around Apata area, under Ido LGA in Ibadan.

“It is worthy to note that the command frowns at this serious misconduct and wishes to intimate members of public that the matter was immediately escalated through an investigative inquiry set up by the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Police Command, CP Ngozi Onadeko, upon its receipt.

“Preliminary investigations have revealed that the alleged culprit identified by the victim does not serve under Oyo State Command but was rather in the jurisdiction on other yet-to-be specified duties.

“Furthermore, investigations are in top gear to apprehend all the officers involved in the unpleasant actions of Thursday, October 7, for their various involvements, with the assurances of adequate sanctions meted out on all guilty parties upon recommendations from the Investigation panel.

">
“The command sues for calm while appealing to members of the public that no offender(s) would on any account be indulged to evade deserved Justice regardless of status or affiliations.”

Jesugbemi had, through an Instagram post that went viral on Wednesday, claimed that the policemen led by one Badru Samson waylaid the motorcyclist conveying him to the bank and ordered him to get down.

Chairman, PSN Oyo State, Mr Adegboyega Oguntoye said that pharmacists are frontline care providers in responding to public health epidemics and pandemics, in collaboration with other members of the health team.

Mr Oguntoye added that: “We do not just advise patients on how to use their medicines anymore, pharmacy practice in Nigeria now takes a holistic approach to patient care. Our skills and knowledge have expanded remarkably.

“From patient counseling to ethical referral processes, health promotion, vaccination and immunization services, it is not surprising that the International Pharmaceutical Federation advocated and the World Health Organization approved that pharmacists be part of frontline care providers in public health service.”

The keynote speaker, Mrs Folasade Lawal, stated that Nigeria should also tap into the vast number of community pharmacists in the country to tackle vaccine hesitancy, and achieve the aim of immunising all Nigerians against COVID-19.

She declared that pharmacy-based immunisation, as it is practiced in the world, allows pharmacists to play active roles in immunisation. She declared: “There are over 4,400 registered community pharmacists in Nigeria. If they are empowered, the story will change for us.

Aggrieved Oyo PDP Members Meet, Begin ‘Operation Makinde Must Go’

Aggrieved members of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday met again ahead of the planned congress of the party.

This was just as they passed a vote of no confidence on the leadership of Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State.

The members, who voiced their displeasure, said against the governor’s promise before and during the election, they have been neglected while those who were not around during the election are the ones benefiting from government.

Saying that they have accepted what has befallen them, the leaders urged members to be prepared for the congress which begins this week.

“Go to your wards, mobilize your people. Don’t fight anybody. Record whatever happens and leave us to do the remaining in Abuja,” Akande-Adeola assured.
