Soldiers Kill Three Policemen, Release Notorious Kidnapper In Taraba

Frank Mbah, Police PRO.


Some yet to be identified personnel of the Nigerian Army have been accused by the police of killing three of its officials and releasing a kidnap kingpin in the process.

The incident was said to have taken place along Ibi-Jalingo Road, Taraba State, on Wednesday.

The incident also resulted in injuries for other police officers and civilians as well.

According to a statement by spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Frank Mba, the affected officers  led by Assistant Superintendent of Police, Felix Adolije, of the Intelligence Response Team, reportedly came under attack in the process of moving kidnap kingpin, Alhaji Hamisu, to the Command Headquarters in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba.

Mba disclosed that one inspector, two sergeants and a civilian died as a result of gunshot injuries sustained during the attack by the soldiers.

According to him, the military personnel shot at the policemen despite enough evidence that they were on genuine mission.

Mba said that in the ensuing chaos following the shooting, Hamisu, who had been on the police's wanted list, escaped.

He said, “The police operatives, led by ASP Felix Adolije of the IRT, reportedly came under sudden shooting by personnel of the Nigerian Army along Ibi-Jalingo Road, Taraba State.

“The operatives who were taking the arrested suspect Hamisu to the Command Headquarters in Jalingo, were shot at several times by the soldiers despite sufficient proof that they were police personnel on legitimate duty.

“Three policemen comprising one inspector and two sergeants and one civilian died as a result of gunshot injuries, while others sustained serious gunshot wounds.

“The soldiers thereafter released the handcuffed suspect who is now on the run.”

Speaking further, Mba said that the police had begun investigation into the incident.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
