Drag South Africa’S Zulu King To ICC, Senate Tells FG

The Senate on Wednesday has called on the Federal Government to take the south African Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini, to the International Criminal Court for his involvement in instigating the recent attacks on foreigners in south Africa. 

They want the Zulu King taken to the ICC on the bases that he incited the Xenophobia attacks by telling his subjects that the foreigners in their midst had outlived their stay, accusing the foreign nationals of denying South Africans the jobs that were meant for them.

He allegedly directed them to ensure the foreigners left South Africa.

Xenophobia:South Africa closes Consulate in Lagos over fears of revenge attacks

South Africa has closed its consulate in Lagos, Nigeria, following anti-xenophobia protests there.

Protests were held outside the consulate and at the South African High Commission in Abuja.

South African consul general in Nigeria, Sam Monaisa, said in an e-mail to the South African business forum in that country that the closure would remain in force until Thursday.

The situation in Durban had calmed down, but he was concerned about the Nigerians that were being repatriated, he wrote.

Nigerians were using social media to blow an already tense situation in South Africa out of proportion and stoking emotions.

This was why Nigerians maintained that their compatriots were being killed in South Africa daily, he said.

Revealed: Why Jonathan fired IGP, Suleiman Abba

Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba was yesterday, fired by President Jonathan and replaced with Solomon Arase. Reuben Abati released a statement but didn't state why he was fired. 

Now, Vanguard is reporting that Mr Suleiman Abba, is the first major casualty of the just concluded general elections, which President Goodluck Jonathan and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, lost to the opposition.

The police officer, who was elevated to the post only last year, incurred the wrath of the Presidency on the eve of the governorship and House of Assembly elections for allegedly arguing with the government officials over the directive to recall the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in Charge of Zone 6, Tunde Ogunshakin, from Rivers State.

Abba had deployed gunshakin from his base in Calabar to Port Harcourt to oversee the governorship election in Rivers State following complaints by Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, that the police had collaborated with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the PDP to intimidate APC members and rig the presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

His refusal to pick calls over Ogunshakin’s recall

A Presidency source told Vanguard that on learning that the IG had defied its order by redeploying Ogunshakin to Rivers State to supervise the governorship elections. A presidency official called the former police boss to recall the AIG with immediate effect from Rivers State or face the consequences.

The source said the presidency felt slighted when it could not get through to Abba.

Another sin of the former IG was his presence at the presentation of the Certificate of Return to Muhammadu Buhari at the International Conference Centre on April 1, 2015, which convinced the Presidency that the IG was actually working for the opposition and it moved quickly against him.
