A serving nurse with the University of Medical Sciences in Ondo State is currently missing after he threatened to commit suicide on Sunday.  Taiwo Adeleke, who works at the Emergency and Accident Unit of the government-owned hospital, wrote on Sunday that he was already “depressed”. Adeleke had taken to WhatsApp to drop a suicide note for friends. It reads, “If anything happens to me, you all know who to hold responsible. I’m depressed. This might be the end. I’m not safe anymore.” The nurse had allegedly taken to the social media to call out the authority of UNIMEDTH for refusing to pay health workers their salaries.  It was gathered that the action fetched him a query from the authorities, who accused him of “using foul language against his employer”.

This announ...

SARS also known as the Special Anti-Robbery Squad have been called out on several occasions for notoriously carrying out extra-judicial killings and allegedly harassing innocent Nigerians. Human rights organisations define extra-judicial killings as a deprivation of life unjust or unconstitutional, and clearly a homicide. The #EndSARS movement has become a political campaign opposing SARS unit of the Nigeria Police Force. The campaign started as a social media campaign using the #EndSARS to demand for government to scrap and end the deployment of SARS officers due to their unlawful arrests, high-handedness, humiliation, unlawful detention, and extortion. A petition signed by 10,195 people was recently submitted to the National Assembly calling for scrapping of SARS. Many Nigerians have also been using #EndSA...
