55-year-old chief Submitted himself to Police over the murder of two

The Chief of Mujipe Abdul-Rahman Bore has been arrested by police in the Savannah region Ghana.

The 55-year-old chief had presented himself to the regional police command after being placed on police wanted list following a misunderstanding on royalties between Kpalbisi and Mujipe which led to the death of two persons in January.

In an interview with the Savannah Regional Police commander, DCOP Enoch Adutwum Bediako, he said the Mujipewura reported at the police command and told the officers there that he had information that he was wanted by police for interrogation.

“I sanctioned his arrest to help us in our investigations,” he said.

He revealed the chief is being processed for court Friday February 7, 2020.

The police is yet to proffer charges against him.

DCOP Bediako urged residents of the region especially traditional rulers not to take the laws into their own hands.

It would be recalled that on Wednesday January 1, 2020, some young men from Kpalbisi went to Mujipe a farming community for royalties from the farmers.

A misunderstanding ensued when the emissaries were denied the royalties leading to the shooting and killing of Hassan Karim 37 and Ambra Atta 35, and injuring of Karim Kassim.

The chief of Mujipe allegedly went into hiding after hearing the police and military were after him.

So far three persons including Mujapewura Abdul-Rahman Boure have been arrested in connection with the murder. The rest are Dramani Zakaria and Abdul- Rahman Yussif.

The Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) has said it is working on a close partnership with the Lagos State Government to boost e-commerce in the state.

The Postmaster-General/Chief Executive Officer of NIPOST, Ms. Tola Odeyemi stated this on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

According to her, a partnership with Lagos State would enable the Service to optimize last-mile delivery and ensure seamless connectivity within the city and across the nation.

“The e-commerce sector is rapidly expanding, and Lagos is at the forefront of this growth. Through enhanced postal and logistics services, we aim to support small businesses and individuals participating in e-commerce,” she stated.

While noting that one of her primary goals, as the Postmaster-General, is to foster strategic partnerships that would enhance the efficiency and relevance of NIPOST’s services in a rapidly evolving world, the NIPOST boss said:

“I see Lagos State as a critical partner in achieving this vision, given its status as the economic hub of Nigeria.”

Odeyemi said the courtesy visit to Governor Sanwo-Olu shows the importance of partnership in governance and service delivery, saying NIPOST is ready to collaborate with the Lagos State Government to drive innovation, boost economic development, and enhance public service delivery.

She also praised the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration for several programs held in December that attracted many people in the diaspora to travel to Lagos for ‘Detty December.’

Speaking earlier, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu charged the Postmaster-General to challenge the status quo for a sustainable change for today and future needs.

He urged the Nigerian Postal Service to use technology as an enabler to enhance the ease of doing business in Lagos State and Nigeria.

The Governor also reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State Government to collaborate with the NIPOST office service centres to improve its physical spaces and enhance e-commerce as well as the movement and sales of goods.
“You and your team need to think outside of the box make a difference and revamp NIPOST. Don’t be shy about challenging the status quo.

“Don’t be shy about saying you want to change what you met because the people who created those things several years ago did what was obtainable then. If you want an organisation that will meet today’s and future needs, change is a reality,” Governor Sanwo-Olu advised the Postmaster-General.
