It was a disaster for terrified residents of 21 Road in Festac Town, Lagos on Wednesday afternoon as a female Civil Defence operative on the orders of her commander, summarily executed  a boy at the AP filling Station on 21,Road ,FESTAC Town.
The boy was alleged to have bought fuel in a jerry can and was going home when he was accosted by a team of Civil Defence officials who arrested him.

Witnesses said he never resisted arrest, but rather was pleading and explaining to the NSCDC personnel that the fuel was for personal use as he was not a fuel hawker
The witness who pleaded annonymity said the boy, about 18-years-old   had laid down on the road pleading with theNSCDC operatives to allow him go home as he was not a fuel hawker, but had just bought the fuel for personal use.
The witnesses said the Commander of the team who felt that the boy was resisting arrest,ordered a female official to shoot the”Bastard”,and the woman shot him.
On seeing the boy dying on the pool of his own blood, the NSCDC operatives jumped into their  patrol van and sped off.

As at press time, men of Op Mesa and the Nigeria Police led by the FESTAC Police Station Divisional Police Officer(DPO) Mr Monday Agbonika were on ground ,making sure that the angry mob did not take laws into their hands.
The angry sympathisers had attempted to set the filling station and some petrol Tankers ablaze,but were prevented by the security operatives.
A senior Police officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the killing of the young boy was unwarranted”Why should they kill the boy.I think ,the Civil Defence corps don’t know when to use fire arms. They don’t even have regulation on fire arms usage”

Robbers invade Osun State.

It was a blood bath as men of the under world stormed one of the commercial banks in Ikirun town in Ifelodun Local Government area of Osun State, with no fewer than four policemen and six civilians feared killed in the operations they carried out.

You Would Not Believe These Emojis.

Following a research of the mobile phone use by youths in the African continent, a young Nigerian American Ayoola Daramola has come out to develop emojis that better speaks the language of the people.




"We tried to create an African app, that actually has really strong images - this is Disney quality animation here," Ayoola Daramola 

His newly launched line of emojis - which sit in his app, Afroemojis - features men and women dressed in colourful African clothes, and local expressions in pidgin English, such as "Chai!" ("Wow!"), "Correct!" ("Great job!") and "No dulling!" ("Don't be slow!").

According to the US-based Pew Research Center, text messaging remains the most common activity for mobile phone users in Africa, and Mr Daramola says his Afrocentric emojis will fill a gap in the market by allowing users to express themselves using characters they can identify with, and everyday local phrases that mean more to them.

Impressed by the high adoption rate that mobile phones have enjoyed across the African continent, he wanted to create an app that responded to the rapidly changing way Africans are communicating with each other, both at home and abroad.
"This is basically 'send me an African-looking image', right? But I think the evolution of apps and cellphones is going to get a lot more localised.
"You're going to have African apps that are really localised, African-based, really really local to you - chatting applications, video-chat applications, even mobile money-sending apps," Mr Daramola says.

Mexico's Topo Chico prison riot sees 50 people dead!


 What started as a late-night fight between leaders of rival gangs spiraled into a massive prison riot in northern Mexico that left dozens dead, officials said Thursday.

The riot killed 52 people inside Topo Chico prison in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon state Gov. Jaime Rodriguez said at a news conference.

Twelve others were injured, including five who are in critical condition, he said.
Video showed flames rising from the prison -- the result Rodriguez said, of inmates setting fires inside.The violent clashes come just one day before Pope Francis arrives in Mexico, a trip that will include a stop at a prison in Ciudad Juarez, a city on the mend after once being known as the murder capital of the world.

Past riots sprang from cartel rivalries

Mexico has seen deadly riots and other prison violence in the past.
At the same prison in Monterrey, three inmates were stabbed to death in February 2012.
That same month, 44 inmates were killed and 30 escaped in a riot at a prison in Apodaca, near Monterrey. Security officials blamed the violence on a fierce rivalry between drug cartels inside that prison.
In 2011, the head of security at the Topo Chico prison was found dead and mutilated. Authorities said that a note, presumably from a drug cartel, was left with the body.

Twelve others were injured, including five who are in critical condition, he said.
Video showed flames rising from the prison -- the result Rodriguez said, of inmates setting fires inside.The violent clashes come just one day before Pope Francis arrives in Mexico, a trip that will include a stop at a prison in Ciudad Juarez, a city on the mend after once being known as the murder capital of the world.

Past riots sprang from cartel rivalries

Mexico has seen deadly riots and other prison violence in the past.
At the same prison in Monterrey, three inmates were stabbed to death in February 2012.
That same month, 44 inmates were killed and 30 escaped in a riot at a prison in Apodaca, near Monterrey. Security officials blamed the violence on a fierce rivalry between drug cartels inside that prison.
In 2011, the head of security at the Topo Chico prison was found dead and mutilated. Authorities said that a note, presumably from a drug cartel, was left with the body.
