Edo To Set Up Spl Court, Sign, Execute Cultist, Kidnapper's Deaths Speedily https://osazuwaakonedo.news/edo-to-set-up-spl-court-sign-execute-cultist-kidnappers-deaths-speedily/ #Amnesty #ANEEJ #Benin #Edo #Oshiomhole #Kano #Obaseki #Okpebholo #Police Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo has said the state government will set up special court for criminal proceedings inline with the existing laws for suspected secret cult members and kidnappers to be conducted within 2 or 3 weeks maximum, and if anyone is found guilty and sentenced to death accordingly, he will sign the death warrant and bring the condemned criminal or criminals to popular Ring Road area in Benin City for public execution so that such action will serve as deterrent to others, the Governor who probably have a good working relationship with one of the former governors of the state that started the recent execution of condemned criminals, Adams Oshiomhole made this known on Thursday when he visited the Headquarters of the Edo State Command of the Nigeria Police Force wherein some suspected kidnappers allegedly behind the shooting and abduction of a woman at a popular Vegetable market along Airport road in Benin City last Sunday were paraded before the governor and the Press, according to the Governor; "I will set up a special court to try cultists and kidnappers within 2 or 3 weeks and if found guilty, I would have no regret to sign their warrants, they would be executed at the Ring Road for others to learn a lesson, don't take my simplicity for granted”, for the record, the last time death warrant was signed and condemned criminals executed in Edo State, took place around 6:00am on December 23, 2016, few weeks after the then-Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki took over power and was then still in good working relationship with ex governor Adams Oshiomhole, three death row inmates were executed by hanging, namely: Ogbomoro Omoregie, Apostle Igene, and Mark Omosowhota and the execution took place at the Oko Prison of the Nigerian Correctional Service, the inmates had originally been sentenced to death by military tribunals under the Robbery and Firearms Decree during the era of  military rule in Nigeria, Godwin Obaseki carried out the executions despite condemnation from Human rights groups, such as the Legal Defence and Assistance Project, LEDAP, who thus petitioned the governor for a stay of execution, saying, "These earmarked prisoners were sentenced by military tribunals under the Robbery and Firearms, Special Provisions, Decree 1971 as amended, in which there was no right of appeal, we have filed an appeal pending at the Court of Lagos seeking order that these prisoners have right of appeal under the 1999 Constitution, Death penalty is not universally prohibited but the second optional protocol to the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on Prohibition of the use of the death penalty ask state parties to amend their laws to abolish death as sentence for crime, not all states have ratified the protocol, to sign a treaty does not bind the state until it is ratified, Nigeria has not signed it”, it would be recalled that before the 2016 last execution of condemned criminals in the state, the immediate past and first execution in Edo State since Nigeria returned to Democratic rule in 1999 occurred on June 24, 2013, when former Governor Adams Oshiomhole signed the warrants to hang four inmates—Chima Ejiofor, Daniel Nsofor, Osarenmwinda Aiguokhan, and Richard Igagu—at the Benin City Custodial Centre along Sapele road, the execution was the first in Nigeria since the last incident in 2006 after the then Kano State Governor, Ibrahim Shekarau approved and carried out the execution of seven condemned criminals, Oshiomhole's action faced a lot of backlash from human rights community; Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice, ANEEJ reiterated that the death penalty is an inhumane form of punishment and continued to advocate that Nigeria's laws should be amended to replace capital punishment with life imprisonment, even for high-level offences like corruption, while Amnesty International declared the executions "a truly dark day for human rights in Nigeria" and criticised Oshiomhole for ignoring the pending judicial appeal processes, this, other human rights organizations filed appeals and public campaigns, urging the Edo State government to halt the execution of the inmates because their legal options were not fully exhausted, but all to no avail as the condemened criminals were still executed, defending his action, the then-governor Oshiomhole said "I have no apologies because I did not sentence them to death, I am not the one who accused them; they were accused by those they harassed, they have been tried, they have taken advantage  #OsazuwaAkonedoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/osazuwaakonedo--4980924/support.Kindly support us for more productivity and efficiency in news delivery.Visit our donation page: DonateYou can also use our Mobile app for more news in different formats: CLICK TO DOWNDLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY STORE 

Policeman To Face Murder For Tear-gassing Resident To Death In Edohttps://osazuwaakonedo.news/policeman-to-face-murder-for-tear-gassing-resident-to-death-in-edo/#Amnesty #Benin #Children #Ebojele #Edo #keke #Okpebholo #Police #UNBarely 48 hours after a serving police officer on May 25, 2026 at Uwelu area of Ogida quarters in Benin City tear-gas a resident to death, Matthew Akubo, a tricycle rider who is also said to be an ex police officer of an elderly age, a more devastating tragedy was apparently averted on May 27, 2026 at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium during the 2026 Children's Day Celebration when some security operatives used pepper spray on school children who came for the celebration, an action capable of causing death but the Chief Medical Director, Edo Specialist Hospital, Dr Anthonia Njoku denied and dismissed the claims that about 5 children died as a result of the incident, and the Edo Command of the Nigeria Police Force in a press statement failed to state if there was any death casualty or not, but stated that 4 persons including the seller of the pepper spray chemical substance have been arrested and detained  in connection with the Children's Day incident, adding that, the policeman who caused the death of the tricycle rider has been in detention waiting to be arraigned for possible act of murder, this, our research study shows that the less lethal weapon of chemical substances like tear-gas and pepper spray may be seen as an act of deliberate murder or attempted murder if used on a closed range, enclosed enviroenment like hall; big or small because the chemical substances from our assessment are meant only to be used on a long range open air outdoor spaces where people have alternatives means to run and leave the contaminated areas and inline with global standard on the use of the chemical substances, tear gas is never meant to be used on vulnerable populations or individuals with medical conditions, as international bodies like the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, OHCHR and health organizations warn it can cause permanent injury, severe complications, or death, in addition, the chemical causes instant airway constriction that can trigger fatal respiratory failure in people with asthma or COPD—a severe risk that prompted the American Thoracic Society, ATS to call for a total moratorium on its use, because, simultaneously, the intense physical stress can induce cardiac arrest in those with heart disease, as documented by Physicians for Human Rights, PHR, and according to strict deployment standards from Amnesty International, infants and young children face significantly higher risks because their developing lungs breathe faster, and heavy gas vapors settle near the ground, pregnant individuals face severe risks of premature labor or miscarriage, a danger highlighted in field reports by National Nurses United and reproductive toxicology data published by the National Institutes of Health, NIH, also, the elderly suffer prolonged tissue damage due to a reduced physical ability to flee, and finally, the American Lung Association warns that people with eye conditions—especially contact lens wearers—can suffer chemical burns and permanent vision loss from trapped toxins, though legally, while the Chemical Weapons Convention, CWC permits domestic law enforcement usage, the UN Guidance on Less-Lethal Weapons explicitly dictates that police operations must give special consideration to these protected groups to avoid unlawful, disproportionate force. #OsazuwaAkonedoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/osazuwaakonedo--4980924/support.Kindly support us for more productivity and efficiency in news delivery.Visit our donation page: DonateYou can also use our Mobile app for more news in different formats: CLICK TO DOWNDLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY STORE

« Une loi attendue dans le monde entier », voilà comment la ministre française de la Culture, Catherine Pégard, qualifie le texte pour faciliter les restitutions d'œuvres pillées pendant la colonisation. Le projet de loi a été adopté ce lundi 13 avril 2026 à l'Assemblée nationale. Il permettrait de passer désormais par décret, plutôt que par une loi spécifique à chaque restitution. Et les musées vont avoir un rôle majeur à jouer, souligne le philosophe sénégalais Souleymane Bachir Diagne, professeur émérite à l'université Columbia à New York. Il est l'invité de Charlotte Idrac. RFI : Que pensez-vous de ce texte sur les restitutions qui vient d'être adopté à l'Assemblée en France ? Souleymane Bachir Diagne : Il était temps. Ce texte lève une restriction qui permettait jusqu'à présent, devant des demandes de restitutions, de dire : « Écoutez, il y a un principe d'inaliénabilité, donc on ne touche pas, on ne soulève pas la question. » Donc, maintenant, le champ est libre, si vous voulez. Cela veut dire que des négociations peuvent s'engager entre, je dirais, des acteurs sur le terrain. Un musée français, un musée africain ou des musées du Nord à un musée du Sud, à la condition, bien entendu d'établir une liste de demandes fondées aussi sur des recherches de provenances. Est-ce que vous pensez qu'avec cette loi, on va aller vers une multitude de demandes de restitution de la part des pays ou des musées ? Je ne vois pas des demandes énormes se profiler pour une raison très simple : les restitutions qui ont déjà eu lieu ont concerné des objets qui avaient été pillés à la suite d'expéditions coloniales extrêmement violentes. Celle qui a mis fin, par exemple, au dernier royaume du Dahomey, le royaume du roi Béhanzin, ou celle par les Britanniques qui a saccagé et détruit Benin City, les fameux Bronzes du Bénin qui se retrouvent partout dans le monde aujourd'hui. Celles-là étaient des œuvres qu'il était facile d'identifier et il fallait à tout prix évidemment les restituer comme réparation. Il y a des tas d'autres œuvres qui se retrouvent dans les musées, et souvent d'ailleurs dans des réserves. Et donc il y a matière à faire des recherches patientes, scientifiques, de provenances. Toutes les œuvres ne sont pas des œuvres qui ont été arrachées par la violence. Par conséquent, l'idée qu'il y aurait maintenant des listes en attente avec des milliers et des milliers d'objets présentés comme une forme, une sorte d'addition par les États africains, je ne vois pas cela arriver. Est-ce que, selon vous, il faut tout restituer ? Alors c'est là que s'engagent les négociations. Dire qu'il faut tout restituer, c'est tomber dans un identitarisme qui consisterait à dire en gros chacun chez soi, rentrez à la maison. Que toutes les œuvres qui ont été produites par des humains se retrouvent dans les aires culturelles qui les ont produites, et puis voilà. Je ne le crois pas. Il existe aujourd'hui des musées qu'on peut appeler des musées universels, c'est-à-dire des musées qui ont vocation à présenter la créativité de l'humanité dans son ensemble. Par exemple ? Aujourd'hui, le Louvre est devenu un musée vraiment universel, où il n'y a pas simplement les œuvres de l'Europe ou des œuvres dont on estime qu'elles ont préparé la créativité européenne, comme les œuvres égyptiennes ou les œuvres de Mésopotamie. Il y a aussi les œuvres des quatre autres continents, et c'est la raison pour laquelle vous avez la galerie des cinq continents. Vous avez le musée du Louvre-Lens qui est dans cette dynamique également. Vous avez le Metropolitan Museum à New York, que je connais bien. Cette question des restitutions, finalement, elle touche pour vous, à la manière dont on conçoit aujourd'hui les musées ? Absolument. Je crois que cette question de la restitution n'est pas simplement un transvasement, ce n'est pas simplement un voyage retour des objets. L'art africain a été véritablement à l'origine de la grande révolution artistique du XXᵉ siècle. Donc, il est tout à fait naturel que cet art africain ait toute la place qui lui revient dans les musées, dans les grandes capitales cosmopolites comme New York ou Paris ou Saint-Pétersbourg, etc. Dans le camp des critiques, il y avait, ou il y a, cet argument que les pays d'origine n'auraient pas Les infrastructures muséales adaptées pour les restitutions d'œuvres. Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez ? Eh bien, c'est une excellente occasion pour qu'une coopération s'installe entre musées du Nord et musées du Sud. Et les premiers pas, c'est peut-être aider aussi à l'édification d'un musée au sud qui puisse recevoir non seulement les œuvres qui seraient éventuellement restituées, mais également des œuvres d'autres époques, d'autres continents, de telle sorte que, grâce à la circulation internationale, les musées universels se développent aussi dans ce que l'on appelle le sud global. Donc une circulation, un dialogue, entre des œuvres ? Tout à fait un dialogue des œuvres entre elles. D'abord, ouvrir les musées avec des prêts, ce serait une excellente manière de procéder et de faire en sorte que les œuvres dont il est question, lorsqu'on pose le problème des restitutions, ne soient pas des œuvres qui divisent, mais des œuvres qui réunissent.

Destiny's trajectory from being rolled to school in a wheelbarrow to closing high-stakes M&A deals in New York serves as a blueprint for anyone who feels limited by their current environment.Despite the challenges of his upbringing, including hawking food with his mother and working on cassava farms, Destiny maintained a standard of excellence that saw him finish at the top of his class from KG to his final year at the University of Benin (UniBen).In this video, we explore:- The Benin Years: Growing up with an intellectual father who taught Shakespeare and the Periodic Table at home, and the street-gymnastics and football that built his social grit.- The Academic Streak: The discipline required to earn a First Class at UniBen and the Nigerian Law School.- The Harvard Transition: What it feels like to move from a "survivalist" mindset in Nigeria to the intellectual freedom of Harvard Law School.- The Wall Street Reality: The high-energy, high-complexity world of M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) and why speed is the ultimate currency.Connect with Destiny:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/foundersconnectshow/Connect with us:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/foundersconnectshow/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foundersconnect_X: https://www.x.com/thefcshow_

Vad händer när man sammanför sex konstnärer som alla har olika funktionsvariationer? Följ med till utställningen Speaking Volumes på Malmö konsthall. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Vem har tillträde till konsten? Och hur definierar vi konstnärlig kvalitet? Det är två frågor som ställs i den mångfacetterade utställningen med både svenska och internationella konstnärer. P1 Kultur var där när David Cheung lade sista handen vid sin 20 meter långa hyperdetaljerade mastodontteckning, och träffade också konstnären Mattias Johansson. Och i studion möter vi utställningens curator Lucy Smalley.MUSEUMSINVIGNING SKÖTS UPP – VAD HÄNDER NU?Förra veckan skulle Nigerias nya stora och påkostade moderna konstmuseum, West African Art i Benin City, ha invigts. Det var också tänkt att museet skulle husera de återlämnade Benin-bronserna, kulturskatter som tagits från landet och hamnat i västerländska museers samlingar. Men efter protester och vandalisering av det nya konstmuseets reception har invigningen skjutits upp. Vad handlar konflikten om? Och varför blev aldrig museet ett centrum för de återlämnade kulturskatterna? Kulturnytts Mina Benaissa berättar mer.LIVET MED PERSONLIG ASSISTANS I NY PJÄSHur är det att hela tiden vara beroende av en annan människa för att kunna klara av de mest basala sakerna i sin vardag?

The ongoing Nigerian gang wars are a violent manifestation of socio-economic challenges, territorial disputes, and political manipulation that have escalated across various regions in Nigeria. These conflicts often involve rival gangs fighting for control over lucrative illegal activities, such as drug trafficking, kidnapping for ransom, armed robbery, and oil theft, particularly in urban areas like Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Benin City. The clashes are driven by a combination of factors, including unemployment, poverty, and the proliferation of small arms, which have made it easier for gangs to acquire weapons and recruit members. Ethnic tensions and historical grievances also play a role, as gangs often form along ethnic lines, leading to more targeted and brutal violence.Political corruption and the use of gangs as tools of intimidation during elections have further complicated the situation. Politicians in Nigeria are often accused of arming and funding gangs to disrupt the political process or secure votes, creating a cycle of violence that extends beyond the electoral period. The Nigerian government and law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in curbing these conflicts due to a lack of resources, corruption within the police force, and the gangs' deep-rooted connections to local communities. As a result, the Nigerian gang wars continue to pose a severe threat to stability and public safety in the affected regions, contributing to an ongoing humanitarian crisis marked by displacement, loss of life, and economic disruption.(commercial at 7:52)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

These conflicts often involve rival gangs fighting for control over lucrative illegal activities, such as drug trafficking, kidnapping for ransom, armed robbery, and oil theft, particularly in urban areas like Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Benin City. The clashes are driven by a combination of factors, including unemployment, poverty, and the proliferation of small arms, which have made it easier for gangs to acquire weapons and recruit members. Ethnic tensions and historical grievances also play a role, as gangs often form along ethnic lines, leading to more targeted and brutal violence.Political corruption and the use of gangs as tools of intimidation during elections have further complicated the situation. Politicians in Nigeria are often accused of arming and funding gangs to disrupt the political process or secure votes, creating a cycle of violence that extends beyond the electoral period. The Nigerian government and law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in curbing these conflicts due to a lack of resources, corruption within the police force, and the gangs' deep-rooted connections to local communities. As a result, the Nigerian gang wars continue to pose a severe threat to stability and public safety in the affected regions, contributing to an ongoing humanitarian crisis marked by displacement, loss of life, and economic disruption.(commercial at 7:52)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The album emerges as a poignant declaration, especially in light of Rema's experiences with misinterpretations of his stage aesthetics—such as Gothic visuals at a London concert—which some mistakenly viewed as dark or sinister. He clarified that these elements actually celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Benin City, his hometown in Nigeria, emphasizing a long-standing personal connection to these symbols.*HEIS* was a surprise release but displays meticulous craftsmanship, starting with the edgy electronic sounds and dynamic beats of "March Am." Rema's vocal style continues to captivate, blending smoothness with intensity across songs that weave together multiple languages including Pidgin, Bini, Yoruba, and English. This album also integrates a diverse mix of musical influences, incorporating genres like trap, house, and pop, alongside West African roots music, melodies reminiscent of West Asian tunes, and cinematic scores. This eclectic fusion underscores Rema's role in illustrating the vast scope of Afrobeat music and the ongoing expansion of Western audiences' appreciation for pan-African talent.

“West African culture is starting to become the future” says Phillip Ihenacho, the director of the newly established Museum of West African Art. What if you built a new museum in West Africa, where a glorious ancient history contrasts with a brutal colonial one? What if we really considered the full meaning of restitution and repair? Can a cultural organisation build a stable financial future by becoming its own landlord? Phillip and his team are building not just a new museum — but an entire neighbourhood set within the ancient walls of Benin City in Edo. Phillip talks to us about how talent and creativity are thriving in West Africa, where 70% of the population is under 30 and he talks frankly about the challenges of developing opportunities and infrastructure. This is an “incredibly important moment”, Phillip says. “We need to try and grab it with both hands, and take full advantage of it.”

After a British expedition to Benin City in modern day Nigeria was ambushed in late 1896, British forces launched a devastating attack on the city in February 1897.

On this episode of the Hot Spot series, Gabriel Ornelas sits down with Chef Tolu Eros. Chef Eros is a storyteller, entertainer and African ambassador on a mission to share and explore the wonders of West African food; a food and culture full of life and flavor, just like Eros.       Chef's formative years were spent between Benin City and Lagos, Nigeria, where he learned from his mother, “if food does not have love, you might as well not cook it at all!" It is that love for food and for building community that brought Eros to Los Angeles in 2021. The many years he spent in Nigeria honing his ability to entertain and educate through food brought him to the entertainment capital of the world. But not to open a restaurant right away, he started with a series of intimate, well thought out dinners at his personal home, in Hollywood.        Eros quickly received critical acclaim from numerous publications and from industry icons like Wolfgang Puck, expressing their excitement and passion for the food and overall experience. His private dinner series is called Ilé, which in the Yoruba language means home, which Eros gives you listeners a look into this memorable experience. His food has and always will be about bringing people together, in a way that is elevated, yet fun, fresh and worth talking about.        He also recently opened up Ilé Bistro, in Culver City, which highlights some of his classic favorites, but in a fast casual setting. I encourage you all to head to the show notes while listening to this episode to check out Chef Eros on instagram and his concepts.       There is so much more to say, but I'd rather you hear from Chef himself. Listen as we explore his mind and creativity, his vision for continuing build community through West African food culture and what we can expect next from him.     Discover more about REPÚBLICA DEL CACAO: https://bit.ly/3ZRoVIv     Follow Tolu Eros on Instgram: https://bit.ly/48ykXJO     Follow Ilé on Instagram:  https://bit.ly/3EW29qg     Follow On The Pass: http://bit.ly/3Kvgm1n     Follow our Host, Gabriel Ornelas: http://bit.ly/3YS964b     Read Gabriel's Articles: http://bit.ly/3SnOsGG     Lets work together!

A compilation of this week's Witness History episodes. Gerald Clarke, the author of Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland, speaks to Max Pearson about the legacy of the stage and screen actress who died in 1969. We also look at how a chance encounter led to the return of two of the looted Benin Bronzes, ancient artworks which were among thousands stolen from Benin City by the British Army in 1897. And we head back to 2008, when a nine-year-old boy tripped over a fossil that would lead to one of the most important discoveries in the history of human evolution.

In 2004, a chance encounter in Nigeria led to the return of two of the country's ancient artworks, the looted Benin Bronzes. The treasures were among thousands stolen from Benin City by the British Army in 1897, and acquired by museums around the world. More than a century later, Tim Awoyemi and Steve Dunstone were on a charity trip when they were approached by campaigners demanding the bronzes return. The two men vowed to help, but it took them 10 years before they were able to fulfil that promise, as Tim Awoyemi tells Jane Wilkinson. (Photo: Benin Bronzes, Nigeria, 2014.

Le retour des œuvres d'art pillées durant la colonisation a commencé au Nigeria. Des accords actant le transfert de la propriété des trésors volés dans l'ancien Royaume de Bénin ont été signés, ces derniers mois, avec des musées aux États-Unis, en Allemagne et en Grande-Bretagne. Quelques dizaines d'objets – connus sous le terme générique de «Bronzes de Bénin» - ont même été rapatriés en grande pompe sur le territoire nigérian. Ces restitutions ont une signification toute particulière pour les habitants de Benin City – l'ancienne capitale du Royaume d'Edo, annexé par les Britanniques à la fin du XIXème siècle.  « Le retour des bronzes dans l'ancien Royaume de Bénin », un Grand reportage de Liza Fabbian. (Rediffusion)

In 1897 Queen Victoria marked her diamond jubilee and Britain was in a celebratory mood. The British Empire had never been stronger. Few could imagine that this world-spanning empire might very well be peaking. But in 1897 Britain was in no mood for painful self-reflection. Instead Britons were gaily celebrating the what they perceived to be the "triumphs" of empire. Earlier that year a British punitive expedition sacked the West- African city of Benin. The victorious Brits carried off thousands of priceless cultural treasures, many of which were then displayed as trophies of war and instructive curios at the British Museum. The British press had painted Benin City as a hopelessly "savage" place, but these artworks instead reflected a society of great sophistication and artistic skill. Perhaps Britain had been wrong about Benin. How did a British expeditionary force end up at the gates of Benin City in the first place? Tune-in and find out how miscommunications, shady treaties, and pageants with machine guns all play a role in the story.
