Borno Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has expressed concern over increase in cases of burglary in Maiduguri, the state capital. Commandant of the corps in the state, Ibrahim Abdullahi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that his men had been receiving distress calls from residents. “We have been receiving distress calls from residents on house burgling by criminals. This menace is becoming worrisome especially with infiltration of IDPs. Polo residents, for example, have been reporting food theft by hoodlums every Sunday when the Christian faithfuls are in the church. We have made some arrests and have also prosecuted a lot of them. We therefore urge the public to report any suspicious criminal activities to the security agencies for appropriate action,” he said. The commandant said one of the recent cases involved four persons who allegedly burgled residential houses in the state capital. He said that the suspects (names withheld) were arrested on Tuesday in Bulunkutu, Bolori and old Maiduguri areas in the state capital. “All the suspects have admitted to committing the crime and investigations are continuing. We have made some other arrests and have also prosecuted a lot of them,” he said. Keturah King Of CNN African Voices Assaulted By Airport Security Officials In Senegal ...

Keturah King, host of popular TV show, African Voices on CNN, took to Twitter, Tuesday, (May, 24) to share her dilemma after being physically assaulted by security officials at the Dakar International Airport in Senegal.

Keturah’s tweets portrayed the officials as brutal, rude, sexist and misogynistic as some of the harsh treatments she experienced included, airport security officials manhandling female passengers, refusing to talk to her because she was a woman and choosing to talk to the men instead, being thrown against the wall with bruises to show for it.
They also went further as to lock her up with no proper cause, commanding her to put her phone away and desist from recording the situation, taking turns to come into the room where she was being held to rain insults and ridicule on her, and one officer going to the extremes of spitting on her.

Though the reason for the violence towards her wasn’t stated, Keturah wrote, “I’ve just been thrown against a wall at the airport and beaten up by the Dakar Airport police. They keep telling…Me to put my phone away and not record them. They refuse to communicate with me directly – choosing to speak to the men around instead.
Police officers at Dakar airport physically manhandling female passengers. Have now been locked in a room with groups of male officers intermittently coming in to insult me. One just spat on me.”

While Twitter users have queried Keturah King on what she must have done to be treated harshly, others such as Barrister kombs advised Keturah King on how to get justice.
He tweeted, “How you can get justice is not social media. Check if there is an NGO in your country for woman abuse. Take the appropriate steps,report to the appropriate authorities, petition the Senegal police, sue to court etc.”
