The men standing in court (right photo) took the lives of these
four vibrant university students (left) who had their whole lives
ahead of them before it was tragically cut short in the most cruel
manner. It's exactly eleven months since we lost these young
men, and today we remember them. May their souls continue to
rest in peace...and may their killers get what they deserve.

RIP BRODAZ 

CALABAR — A newly married couple, who packed to their house
soon after wedding  have been reportedly killed by generator
fumes in Ikot Omin on the outskirts of Calabar,  the Cross River
State capital.
The couple, Bassey Effiong (27), his wife, Glory (21) and her
younger sister, Emem (16), were said to have packed to the house
yet to be completed by Bassey.
“When he got married, he decided to work on one of the rooms
and moved in, while hoping to gradually complete the house,”
Mike, a neighbour to the couple told Vanguard.
However, tragedy struck, Sunday night, when the couple  turned
on their generating set and placed it on the corridor close to the
room,  where they slept but fume from the  generating set  was
said to have  subsequently gained entry into the room in large
quantity and suffocatded the couple along with Emem,  the
wife’s younger sister.
They were discovered dead several hours later by a naval officer,
David Ekanem, Bassey’s uncle, who said he went there after he
called Bassey’s mobile number several times without response
and on getting there at  5 pm, Monday, he met the tragic sight.
“I knocked several times on the door but there was no answer,
so I had to force the door open. It was then I saw my nephew
and his wife along with the young girl lying dead,” the Naval
officer said.
Spokesman of the Cross River State Police Command,  Mr Hogan
Bassey,  said the matter was reported by the naval officer and the
bodies evacuated to the  Infectious Disease Hospital  mortuary,
Edgerly Road,  Calabar.

About 19 Traffic Marshals working for the Gombe State Government
on Tuesday sustained various degrees of injuries in clashes with a
group of policemen in the state.
Babaji Dunama, General Manager of the Gombe State Agency for
Social Services and Other Related Matters, made the disclosure. He
said that the clashes followed a disagreement between the police
and the marshals at the Cross Roundabout in Gombe Town.
Mr. Dunama alleged that the marshals were attacked by the police
while performing their duties and later eight vehicles filled with
policemen went to his office at the Ministry of Youth and Poverty
Alleviation and ransacked it while every marshal they saw there
was beaten and 19 wounded marshals were arrested and taken to
the police station.
Mr. Dunama, however, said that after he reported the matter to the
Commissioner of Police, Kudu Nma, the marshals were released on
bail.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Gombe State Police
Command, Fwaje Atajiri, said that two policemen from the Gombe
Police Division were sent to invite some persons suspected of
committing assault, when the policemen tried to invite one of the
suspects, he refused and an argument ensued between the suspect
and the policemen and it was later discovered that the suspect was
a marshal but that he was not in uniform.
Mr. Atajiri said that the clash could not have occurred if the police
had known that the suspect was a marshal.
He however, denied allegations that policemen in eight vehicles
went and beat many marshals in the Ministry of Youth and Poverty
Alleviation.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested two security guards,
Ali Salifu and Eno Kela, with seven others for allegedly robbing
pharmaceutical company, May and Baker, in Ikeja Indusrial Estate.
Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, told PUNCH Metro that
the arrested guards gave other security men in the company some
packs of juice laced with a banned drug, Rohypnol, to make them
sleep when the robbery was taking place.
She added that policemen attached to the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad were, however, able to foil the operation after some hours
of surveillance.
She said, “On August 24, 2013, SARS operatives received
information that some robbers were planning to rob May and Baker
at Ikeja. Around 9pm, the robbers had duplicated a key to the
warehouse where the company’s products were kept. We learnt
that some of the security guards had connived with the robbers
after being promised N200,000.
“The robbers also gave the security men laced juice and told them
to give it to other security men at the company to make them
sleep. The robbers came in two trucks and were loading cartons of
two expensive drugs, Sulphatride and Thyzamide, into the trucks
when they were apprehended.
“Policemen from SARS stormed the place and foiled the robbery.
The robbers, who were in possession of two AK-47 rifles,
immediately threw their guns into the warehouse when they saw
the policemen.
“The robbers and the prospective buyer of the stolen goods have
all been arrested.”
The suspects, however, said they were not armed during the
robbery.
The security guards also denied complicity. They said they did not
know that a robbery was taking place on the premises until
policemen arrived at the scene.
Salifu said, “They had approached me before, saying they wanted
to rob and they would give me N200, 000 but I refused. On the day
they came, they told me they were going to another company. I did
not know they came to rob.”
The suspect accused of masterminding the operation, Olanrewaju
Simeon, said this was his second time of robbing the company.
Simeon, who claimed to have been in charge of the company’s
security before his dismissal in 2011, said he was expecting N1m
from the operation.
He said, “I have been jobless since I was asked to leave the
company in 2011. But I understand how things are done at the
company. Last year, I successfully robbed the place and made N1m.
This year, I got in touch with another security guard at the
company, Richard, who gave me the go ahead to rob.
”May and Baker shares the compound with five other companies,
so the security guards at the main gate are different from those
attached to May and Baker. I understood this very well and Richard
told me that he would get some drinks, inject them with Rohypnol
and give them to the security guards at May and Baker, telling
them that he was celebrating his birthday.”

The first hint of what would become my
life's avocation and gift to this world came
the night I wrote a note to my Mom and
Dad. I was a young teenager and it was the
first time I had ever written something that
wasn't a school assignment. That night I
just felt a stirring in my heart to let Mom
and Dad know how much I loved them, how
much they meant to me, and how grateful I
was to them for all they had given me.
Being too shy to say these things face to
face, though, I wrote them down in a note for my parents to find
after I went to bed.

Later that night I heard a gentle knocking at my door. Sleepily, I
walked over to it and opened it up. There were Mom and Dad
with a look of such love on their faces. With trembling arms they
hugged me awake and thanked me for my note. Seeing the
happiness I had given them made my own heart jump for joy. I
was amazed that my simple words could have touched them so. It
was the first time I could ever remember seeing my Dad cry.

That beautiful memory has stayed alive in my soul ever since. It
was with me when I wrote my first story and sent it to the local
county paper. It was with me when I began to share my stories
online with thousands of people all over this world. It was with
me when I published my first book. It is with me now as I write
these worlds. It reminds me that my writing is a gift from God and
sharing it with others is my gift to God.

Don't be shy about sharing your many gifts from God with this
world. It doesn't matter what they are. They can be talents, skills,
brains, or brawn. They can be smiles, hugs, laughter and joy. They
can be acts of kindness and a spirit of compassion. They can be
your work or your avocation. They can even be a simple note
written with love. All that matters is that you share them. All that
matters is that you use them to make this world a little more like
Heaven.
