  I t happened that the bus I took from Ojota to Obanikoro was stopped at Idiroko by LASTMA officers which the guy begged them that he should be pulled over to the other lane but because the officers wanted to enter into the bus, he (Onah. M) in the attached picture started punching the driver till blood came out of his mouth.   We the passengers appeal to them to allow the guy parked so we could drop but one of the Police officer attached to them forced the passenger side off and climb from the back sit to the driver side. (attached picture) Lots of people stopped and even an Army officer dropped from his car to tell the LASTMA officers to stop beating the drivers but one of them told him to just go and mind his business, which he left immediately. Am not saying the Danfo drivers are saints but LASTMA guys should be able to get better way of arresting offenders than forcing or beating or even threatening to shoot a gun at the offenders.

       Police have released CCTV images of a white gunman who shot dead nine people in a cold-blooded race-hate crime at an African-American church in South Carolina on Wednesday night. The suspect opened fire at a weekly bible study group at the 150-year-old Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, shooting dead three male victims and six females - but spared one woman so she could tell the world what happened, eye witnesses recounted.  A five-year-old girl also survived the attack after her grandmother told her to play dead when the shooter started firing. The gunman had entered the church an hour before the shooting and joined the study group before suddenly opening fire, Police Chief Gregory Mullen said at an early-morning press conference on Thursday. Among the victims was 41-year-old Reverend Clementa Pinckney, pastor of the church and a South Carolina state senator, it has emerged. His sister was also reportedly been sho...

A volunteer rests after cleaning an area after Sunday's flooding in Tbilisi, Georgia, Monday, June 15, 2015. Workers and volunteers labored Monday in a flood-ravaged area of the Georgian capital to help victims while nervously watching for traces of dangerous animals that may have escaped the city zoo when it was inundated by the surging waters. Officials in the ex-Soviet republic said 14 people were confirmed dead. All of the lions and tigers that were missing after severe flooding swamped Tbilisi's zoo have been found dead. One jaguar remained unaccounted for, but zoo staff said they have little hope that it survived. The discovery of the last of the missing lions and tigers on Tuesday as the waters receded eased fears in the capital of Georgia, an ex-Soviet republic, that some of the big cats were still wandering the hills of the city.  see more photo..
