Bayelsa state Independent Electoral Commission Sec. assasinated

The Executive Secretary of the Bayelsa state Independent Electoral Commission, Simon Akpen has been assassinated. According to Sahara Reporters, Akpen was shot point blank in the head at his residence in Otiotio road, Yenogoa around 10pm on Friday October 10th by unknown gunmen who laid an ambush for him as he returned home from an outing. He died on the spot.

Confirming the incident, the state's police commissioner, Valentine Ntomchukwu, said it's a suspected case of assassination as no valuable was taken from the deceased residence after he was killed
"In my opinion, it may be a case of assassination because they didn't take anything away after killing him" Ntomchukwu said

  28. NIGERIA’S CURSE: OIL NOT A BLESSING

    The curse came on us when we found oil in Oloburi, Bayelsa in 1956. By 1971, General Gowon said on BBC that Nigeria had more money she could even spend.As at that time more than $600 million had been made from oil
    We abandoned agriculture and embraced oil. We demolished the groundnut pyramids in the north, the cocoa plantations in the west and the palm oil in the east and south for Oil. We assumed it a blessing. And very well so, why not so? Oil was supposed to make us the richest nation in Africa, one of the richest in the world. But not so. Oil money is like blood money…it comes with greed. Oil redirected our politics.It changed everything. Even our civil war was an oil war. Imagine Biafra today with Akwa Ibom , Rivers, Bayelsa and Cross River as part of her states. These are the largest oil producing states in Nigeria presently.
    Our corrupt politics today is simply as a result of oil money.People will maime,kill, rig elections for political power.Why? There is plenty money to steal. Plenty of money to embezzle. One governor’s brother recently celebrated his being worth N30 billion in a club. I can only imagine how much the governor is worth.
    Believe or not the Abachas stole $400 billion in 5 years.Actually, that is the money that has been discovered.There are no records of the Babaginda loot or of all the leaders who ruled our dear nation.
    I travel around the country for my speeches.The roads are bad.Everytime I fly I pray.Corruption and bribery has allowed flying coffins to operate.
    Politicians move ghana-must-go everyday. Our country is......read more on by checking this blog www.360africamagic.blogspot.com
