Uzodimma to police officers: Your promotion is call to higher responsibility
Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma has challenged the newly promoted police officers working in Government House, Owerri, that their promotion is a call to higher responsibility.
He therefore admonished them to discharge their duties with honour and dignity.
The Governor spoke on Monday during the decoration of nine newly promoted police Inspectors working with him to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASPs)
at the Sam Mbakwe Executive Chambers Government House Owerri.
The Governor who was represented at the ceremony by his Chief of Staff, Barr. Nnamdi Anyaehie, acknowledged the efforts of the security agencies in the maintenance of law and order, peace and protection of lives and property in Imo State in particular and country at large, and commended them for their unrelenting efforts.
Anyaehie said: “I charge you to wear the rank with honour and dignity; set good example for those coming after you, avoid anything that will drag your names to the mud and subsequently rubbish the hard work you have put in in the past to merit the promotion.”
He further urged them to always remember that their promotion was not by their own power, “but by God’s grace because there are others who have worked so hard but have not been promoted.”
In a vote of thanks on behalf of his colleagues, one of the newly decorated officers, ASP Yakubu Mohammed, appreciated Governor Uzodimma, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the Police Service Commission (PSC), and Commissioner of Police Imo State, for considering them worthy for the promotion and promised to uphold the responsibility given to them with “integrity and honesty.”
Earlier while presenting his colleagues for the decoration, the Chief Principal Security Officer (CPSO) to the Governor, Superintendent of Police (SP) Adamu Shaba, advised the officers to endeavour to always carry out their assignments with utmost responsibility, bearing in mind the discipline for which the Nigeria Police Force is known.
Shaba noted that those promoted merited their elevation having been due. He used the opportunity to encourage those still expecting to be promoted to “continue in their hard work, while trusting God that in due course they will be remembered.”
The newly decorated ASPs were: Babas Godiya, Joe Akan, Onyemaechi Uzoamaka, Yakubu Mohammed, Idris Jibrin, Emesiobi Donatus, Ahmed Yagbaji, David Uyai, and Sunday Nicholas.
The Chief of Staff was assisted in decorating the officers by the Deputy Chief of Staff
(Operations), Barr.

Kidnappers Took Loan With My Phone – Victim Recounts Ordeal
A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.
According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.
She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.
With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.
The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.
She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.
“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps
A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.
The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.
Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.
Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.
In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).
The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.
One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”
Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
