Gunmen In Military Uniform Kidnap Two Teachers In Delta

Armed men in military uniform have kidnapped two teachers at Ohorhe Secondary School, Uvwie Local Government of Delta State as insecurity worsens across the state.

A teacher in the school, who spoke to SaharaReporters on condition of anonymity on Tuesday, said the unidentified armed men in military uniform arrived at the school’s premises in a Toyota Highlander.


“We were all in the school when we saw three armed men, including the driver, making them four, dressed in military uniform. The Highlander jeep they came with was parked in the premises for some minutes when three of them came and walked straight into the staff room and abducted two of our staff and zoomed off,” the teacher said.

“At this point, we were ordered not to shout, or else we die, and everybody including students were thrown into panic,” she added.

The abduction has caused panic in the community.

SaharaReporters learned the school’s authority had mistaken the four kidnappers for military men because of their attire.

One of the kidnapped teachers is the wife of a retired military officer.

The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Onome Onovwakpoyeya, confirmed the abduction, adding that the command had already embarked on a rescue mission of the victims.

Reacting to the ongoing cases of kidnapping, robbery, killings, a former House of Assembly member in the state, who spoke on condition of anonymity, condemned the spate of insecurity across the state.

“This is very worrisome, since the #EndSARS protest, the police just fold their arms and watch us being kidnapped, killed and robbed,” he said. “Residents across the state now lived in panic as kidnappers, armed robbers, bandits and assassins continued to have a field day in the state uninterrupted.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
