He Was Being Over Dramatic’ Who?

‘He Was Being Over Dramatic’ – Police React To Charly Boy Collapsing At Anti-Buhari Protest



The Nigeria Police Force has said musician, Charly Boy was being over dramatic when he collapsed during a protest at the Unity Fountain on Tuesday, August 8.
NPF PRO, Jimoh Moshood disclosed this on Channels TV.
Charly Boy is part of a group of Nigerians in Abuja that are staging a protest to demand the return or resignation of President Buhari who has been in the UK for a medical checkup since May 7th.
A video of Charly Boy slumping following the effects of tear gas canister and water cannons used on the protesters surfaced online on Tuesday.
Reacting to the video, the PRO said the musician was being over dramatic.
His first account alleging some Police men to have told them that they shouldn’t come out to protest in the first instance is not correct. No Police officer would do that. Anything that has to do with politics or people protesting lies in the rim of the responsibility of the people as provided for in the Constitution.
But like I said, we noticed the mix up in them of miscreants and hoodlums and that is why the police have to intervene to ensure that the protest doesn’t go beyond that. Like I have explained situations of riot to you, we don’t want this protest to dovetail and end up in riot and that is why we quickly intervened. So his account is not correct at all.

When the Camera comes in must have been when Police intervention had been done and they see smoke of tear gas. The smoke of tear gas can go up for quite some minutes without subsiding until after the normal time that the tear gas ought to subside. So any camera man can pick a picture of that and you can see over dramatization by the leader of the protesters who was sitting on the chair because the camera was coming to his side he decided to fall down,” Moshood said

Ma Rongrong’s labour pains were unbearable. For hours she had begged for a C-section to ease her agony. After multiple requests were refused, she jumped five floors from a hospital window in northern China to her death. Ma’s family and her doctors have blamed each other for denying her the surgery that could have eased her suffering. The tragedy has attracted intense attention in China, with many wondering how Ma could be denied such a common procedure. There is no clear answer, but the incident has sparked a national discussion on everything from the high cost of health care and patients’ rights to the dangers of traditional Chinese family values. The conversation reached fever pitch this week after leaked security footage showing Ma on her knees in front of her family in a hospital corridor went viral. In response to the uproar, the official People’s Daily said in an editorial that no matter who is ultimately to blame, the incident should serve as a nationa...

‘Prices Of Petrol, Cooking Gas Have Crashed Nationwide’ -NNPC

Image
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) says sustained strategic intervention in the efficient supply and distribution of petroleum products has led to significant fall in the prices of premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas, nationwide. In a statement on Sunday, Ndu Ughamadu, spokesman of the corporation, said a national survey by oil and gas forum, NNPC’s weekly TV programme, indicated that in the last few weeks, the price of petrol has fallen steadily from N145 per litre to between N142 and N143 per litre in some stations across the country. He said the study showed that NNPC mega and affiliate stations across the country are selling the product for N143 per litre, while the pump price range from between N142 and N145 per litre in some major and independent marketers in Lagos, Abuja, Sokoto, Enugu, Delta and other major cities. “One of the respondents in the survey and a manager at an independ...
