It was learned that the accident, which occurred opposite the Gwarimpa Estate section of the road, involved operatives of the Special Tactical Squad (STS) of the Police attached to the Force Headquarters.

An eyewitness said the speed of the vehicle and the impact of the collision with the hard drainage pavement caused the instant death of the three officers, while others sustained various degrees of injuries.

The eyewitness said, “I was about crossing the road to the other lane when the police patrol van, while on top speed, suddenly lost control and crashed into the drainage divide, leaving three policemen dead.”

The police officer’s were said to be heading to Kaduna for a special assignment before the accident occurred.

Officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the FCT Emmergency Management Agency were later seen evacuating the bodies to an undisclosed hospital.

FCT Police Public Relation’s Officer, DSP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident.

She said it was a sad development, pointing out that she did not have details of the number of casualty involved in the accident.

Written and composed by O.U. Daniel  Episode 4  Continued from Monday….. Three days passed by and the young man hasn’t called Ducy. She was waiting for that call like her life depended on it. Ducy is fond of giving guys her contact only for the list. The list simply means list-of guys-who-takes-care of-her-needs.  She had already placed the young man from that restaurant on the list as the person who would take care of her whenever she wanted to drink wine. She had already saved his contact number as ‘wine guy’.  In your wildest thought, you can imagine what she saves the contact of over 23 guys in her phone according to her needs – food guy, cloth guy, hair guy, indomie guy, gist guy, recharge card guy, data guy, fruit guy, bread guy, malt guy, market guy, shoe guy, club guy, yahoo guy, sharp guy, lover boy, church guy 1, church guy 2, gym guy, cab guy, hotel guy, and what have you.  Where Ducy lived was a single room where she and someone...

OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE IN LUGBE COMMUNITY USE 10 ATM POINTS

By Seyi Anjorin Lugbe is one of the popular suburban settlements in the FCT, along the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport road, in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) with more than 20 housing estates developed and still developing, spanning over 15kilometres on the Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua expressway. Since the introduction of the cashless policy in Nigeria and FCT, as a resident of Lugbe, it is safe not to run out of cash with the intention of getting the ATM to dispense cash, particular in an emergency period. A visit to Federal Housing Estate in Lugbe shows that there are only three banks namely Skye, Fidelity and Wema Banks that services the whole of the Lugbe environs until Shoprite Nigeria opened its Novare Gateway mall in Lugbe, housing just two ATM points from Zenith Bank. It has been a nightmare for residents of Lugbe who want to make withdrawals, especially during the weekends as most of the ATMs operated by these banks either run out of cash or are not capab...

Evgeniy Maloletka—AP BY MSTYSLAV CHERNOV AND YURAS KARMANAU / AP MARIUPOL, Ukraine — Russian forces pounding the port city of Mariupol shelled a mosque that was sheltering more than 80 people, including children, the Ukrainian government said Saturday.
