Presenting the artificial intelligence modern healthcare solutions to
Olori Atuwatse III, the queen of Olu of Warri, the Chief Executive Officer, Gention Global Resources, Ebozoje Segun, said his burning desire was to see everyone including the people in the rural areas gain access to quality healthcare.

The CEO, while describing the kits as a game changer, expressed optimism that DocRoa Healthcare Kit would bridge the gap in challenges of getting quality healthcare in the rural areas, urging the government to get such modern tools and deploy to the rural areas.

Segun, who said his vision was to make sure no one dies of trivia health care issues, noted that it is meaningless to “make the billions of Naira without impacting our immediate communities.”

He further added: “DocRoa bridges the gap for quality healthcare. We are saying that you should be able to get quality healthcare irrespective of your location and who you are. That is the whole idea.

“A mini hospital has been compressed in the kit. In this kit, you have all the basic diagnostic tools. It also comes with a computer – a mini screen where you can now have the doctor diagnose the patient from anywhere. It is very easy to use.

“And that is why we are looking at deploying these kits to these rural areas where they don’t have access to quality healthcare. We believe strongly that this will be a game changer in the healthcare sector.
The government is also welcomed to support the idea.”

Responding, Olori Atuwatse III, while thanking the donor for the kind gesture, said research shows that many of the rural dwellers do not have proper healthcare centres and personnel, so the kit will go a long way in solving most of their health challenges.

“From research, we find out that most of these communities do not have proper health care centres and personnel, so you have a high rate of infants mortality and high rate of adults mortality. So, This is a great step in the right direction,” she added.

…say many of us have been rendered homeless, need relief materials 

By Joseph Ebi Kanjo 

Indegenes of Okomu community in Ovia South West Local Government Area of Edo State have cried out to the Edo State Government, the Inspector-General of Police and the Ijaw National Congress (INC) to rescue them from one Lawrence Yanbor and his terrorist group who have been carrying out incessant attacks on the community.

According to the community, the recent one was that of May 14, 2024, where Yanbor and his gang of terrorists invaded the community in the midnight, shot some security guards on night duty, set over thirty houses on fire, as well as a double Eight-five (85) horsepower Yamaha Engine and speed boat belonging to the Edo State Government

In a Save our Souls message signed by the affected persons including Elder IK Denmene; Chief Freeman Cousin; Chief Atele Oyico; Chief Nanaghan Rickson and the youth president, Christopher Young, on behalf of many others, and made available to INFO DAILY, they lamented that Yanbor and his gang have rendered thousands of persons homeless as a result of the incessant attacks.

While expressing fear of what next Yanbor and his gang would do, they said he has been carrying out this “dastardly act for over ten years unabated,” just as they “appealed to the State and Federal Governments to come to our rescue. Many of our people are homeless and taking refuge in neighbouring communities.”

“The Edo State government should please assist us by providing relief materials to the displaced persons and the community needs a permanent security base to avoid further attacks.”

Combo: Before and after Lawrence Yanbor set Chief Freeman Cousin’s sitting room on fire.

They further recounted: “His group of terrorists also destroyed the Edo State Security Network base in Okomu Community. Other property destroyed by Yanbor and his gang include the burning down of thirteen (13) houses and solar power facilities in the neighbouring I.K. Community while many indigenes from both communities sustained various degrees of injuries during the attack.

“Three (3) of the Edo State Security Network personnel also
sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. They then burnt two (2) heavy duty tractors and one (1) Steyr diesel truck(Agbegi) and 13 houses at Edonghan village.”

Security Guards shot by Lawrence Yanbor and his gang during the invasion.

According to the youth leader, Yanbor has been invited by the state police command and 4 Brigade of the Nigerian Army for several times but he never showed up, rather he carries out his “evil act from his hide out.”

He added that he has been also declared wanted by security agencies in the state but to no avail.

A Nigerian medical doctor, Rose Agwu, has cried out for help after soldiers invaded her home in Abia State and arrested her 15-year-old brother and sister.

Agwu, who resides near Obikabia Junction in the Aba area of the state, said the soldiers broke into her home and took away her siblings, sparing only her 72-year-old father at about 5 am on Friday.

She revealed this in a series of posts on her X handle on Friday morning.

According to Agwu, her siblings were taken without any information on their whereabouts or the reason for their arrest.

She stated, “Around 5 am in the morning, the Nigerian Army invaded my house, broke the gate and our door, and took my 15-year-old brother and my sister, who had just come home, away, leaving only my aged father.

“Till now, they have not been released. We are still trying to locate them. Please help us ask the Nigerian Army the logical reason behind this and how they can account for all the people they took and their plans for them.

“I don’t want to hear stories, please. This is how people go missing and get killed. Please release my siblings, they know nothing about the shooting or unknown gunmen, please.”

This incident came after five soldiers were killed at an Army checkpoint in the Aba area of the state on Thursday.

Following the attack, the Nigerian military vowed that the killers would not go scot-free.

After 24 hours, Agwu, who noted that June 1 was her sister’s birthday, lamented that her siblings were still in custody.

She stressed that her siblings’ rights were being abused by their unlawful detention.

She wrote, “At exactly this time 5 am yesterday while I was at the hospital running my Accident and Emergency shift and saving lives, the Nigerian army broke into my home, forced my 72-year-old father to sit in an unhealthy position while they took away my 15-year-old brother and sister.

“Till now my siblings have not been returned home. My family has been in panic and living in fear. The doors and gates were broken, no arrest warrant was shown, no official statement as to why they took my minor sibling or sister. This is not how justice is served!

“Children are experiencing something traumatic even to a grown adult. How will my siblings recover from this assault and abuse of their human rights?

“Today, June 1, is my sister’s birthday and she’s in Army custody for a crime she knows nothing about. My sister is unproblematic. My family has no relation to the crisis going on in the country. We are law-abiding citizens and mind our business but here we are.”

She called on the state governor, Alex Otti, to come to her family’s rescue and save her siblings.

“It’s my sister’s birthday today! A very traumatic birthday indeed. She’s being held by the Nigerian army who, without intelligence information, moved around arresting innocent law-abiding citizens living around where the attack on soldiers happened,” she stated.

Like Agwu, many residents near Obikabia Junction in the Aba area have gone online to raise the alarm after soldiers allegedly raided their homes and picked up young people.

A tweep, CleverNation, who tweets as #clevernation23, claimed that his friend was taken away by soldiers who invaded his hotel room.

#clevernation23 wrote, “They took my friend who came to Aba to buy goods on Monday but had to lodge in a hotel. The military invaded the hotel and carried every occupant away.”

This move has caused public outrage as Nigerians condemned the invasion of homes and the arrest of innocent residents.

On X.com, a tweep, Samuel Ajayi, who tweets as #Samdgreat01, condemned the arrests as lawlessness.

#Samdgreat01 wrote, “You see, this is my problem with how the Nigerian Army works. Terrorists and criminals attacked your men, and you go around without intelligence detaining innocent citizens. The real terrorists are still moving freely and can wreak havoc again. Families of innocent people will grieve while terrorists strike again. The cycle continues. Lawlessness.

“Terrorists attacked you and went their way. You went around picking up people in the area indiscriminately, even as young as 15, to an unknown location. You’ll torture them, perhaps kill some; you’ve done it before. Real terrorists are still intact in their location. Conduct a proper investigation and gather intelligence to go after them. You’re not so different from the terrorists.”

Another tweep, Ike God, tweeting as #Ikegod, called for a proper investigation to bring the real perpetrators to justice instead of unlawfully arresting innocent citizens.

He wrote, “I call on Alex Otti to interface with the @HQNigerianArmy Chief, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, to facilitate the immediate and unconditional release of all innocent and hapless Abia teenagers and youths abducted by rogue elements within the Nigerian Army on a reprisal attack.

“The investigation to fish out and prosecute the daredevil UGM or MOU who attacked the Army checkpoint in Obikabia Junction, Obingwa, Aba, is a matter for the IGP Kayode Egbetokun-led @PoliceNG. The Nigerian Army must quit flexing muscles with armless and harmless Nigerian citizens and go after real terrorists wreaking havoc across Nigeria. Dear HE @alexottiofr, kindly look into the abduction of hapless Abia teenagers, raised by #RoseAgwu254246.”
