The
United Kingdom's second-biggest airport has been closed for more than
19 hours in an unprecedented disruption caused by drone sightings, which
police have described as a "deliberate act." London's Gatwick Airport
has been closed since 9 p.m. on Wednesday Dec 19th after drones were
spotted near the airfield and as at Thursday afternoon, police were
still on the hunt for the drone operators who have brought the airport
to a standstill, causing travel chaos for hundreds of thousands of
passengers just days before Christmas. "Each time we believe we get
close to the operator, the drone disappears; when we look to reopen the
airfield, the drone reappears," Sussex Police Superintendent Justin
Burtenshaw told the UK's Press Association. The Ministry of Defence said
on Thursday evening that it had deployed specialist equipment to assist
Sussex Police in their efforts. It is illegal to fly drones within 1
kilometer (0.6 miles) of a UK airfield boundary, with perpetrators
facing up to five years in prison. There is no indication the incident
at Gatwick is terror-related, local Sussex Police said adding that 20
police units from two forces were searching for the drone operators.

North
Korea has said it will not relinquish its nuclear weapons until the US
eliminates its own "nuclear threat," according to a commentary published
by state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). "The proper
definition of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is completely
eliminating the American nuclear threat to North Korea before
eliminating our nuclear capability," the commentary says. The US and
North Korea are deadlocked in negotiations over how North Korea will
denuclearize in return for the easing of sanctions. On June 12 in
Singapore, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump
signed a vaguely worded pledge to "work toward complete
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." However, in the six months
since, talks have stalled and North Korean criticism of the US has
sharpened, though Pyongyang has continued to heap praise on Trump. The
commentary published Thursday suggests one obstacle in the negotiations
could be US military assets based in South Korea and the protection of
South Korea under the US nuclear umbrella."When talking about the Korean
peninsula, it encompasses not only our republic's territory but also
South Korea where the American nuclear weapons and armed forces for
invasion are spread out. When talking about denuclearization of the
Korean peninsula, [the US] needs to know that it means eliminating all
nuclear threat factors," the commentary says.The statement also says the
US push toward the total denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
should include the removal of nuclear threats from "not only the North
and the South, but from all neighboring areas."

The
police in Lagos state have arrested one Ben Peters, a househelp that
carted away his employers valuables eleven days after employment. Ben
was employed by seventy-three-year-old retiree, Alexander Okoye, and his
wife, Njideka Okoye, on October 12th.However on October 24th 2018, the
suspect stole the couples valuables including their Toyota Camry saloon
car 2008 model, five thousand United States Dollars, six packet shirts
and a Motorola Android phone. The distraught couple filed a petition to
the Commissioner of Police in Lagos state, CP Edgal Imohimi. Based on
their complaint, the CP directed CSP Kemi Adedeji and team attached to
the Command's Human rights section to launch a manhunt for the fleeing
househelp.On Tuesday December 12th, the said Ben Peters was arrested at
his hideout in Agege, Lagos and some of the stolen items recovered from
him. Police investigation revealed that the suspects real name is Usang
Bassey Effiong and not Ben Peters as he made his employers to
believe. Confessing to the crime, the suspect narrated that he noted
where Mr. Okoye usually hid his bedroom key and to gain access to it, he
needed to duplicate the living room key; so he went ahead and made a
copy of the living room key. He said on October 23rd, he made up his
mind to break into the couple's bedroom. And to do so undetected, he
disconnected the CCTV camera that would have recorded his activities,
picked up the bedroom key and constructively broke into the couple's
room, stole their valuables and thereafter, drove off with their car.The
suspect added that robbing the couple was easy for him because the
househelp they dismissed before employing him, one Matthew Johnson
Abam, was a member of his thieving syndicate and he had furnished him
with relevant information about the couple even before he came to live
with them.Both suspects are currently undergoing interrogation with a
view to helping the Police, arrest their partners in crime and recover
the stolen items.
The
Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says 25,000 personnel have
been deployed across the country in preparation for Christmas. Corps
Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem made this known to journalists in
Abuja where he said the effort was part of activities to commence its
‘Operation Zero Tolerance for Road Traffic Crashes’ which began on
Wednesday, 19 and would last till January 15, 2019. “FRSC has defined
an operational order; we have the operation zero tolerance to road
traffic crashes to combat the menace of road traffic crashes around this
period.We have made deployment of both regular and special marshals
close to 25,000. We have also deployed patrol vehicles, advanced life
support ambulances, heavy duty trucks, patrol motorbikes, reflective
jackets, and breathalyzers among others,” he said.He explained that the
measures were all in a bid to make sure that the roads were
accident-free. Kazeem further said the corps’ objectives during the
festive period included ensuring free flow of traffic, reduction of
crashes to the barest minimum and quick response to distress. “We want a
situation where people will be moving freely without any hitch and in a
situation where we have any crash; there should be quick response to
distress situation.There will also be enforcement of road traffic laws
and regulations because education and enlightenment without enforcement
is just like entertainment. So many people will not heed our call and we
have to enforce the law and make sure they heed our call by all means,”
he said. He further said no fewer than 201 mobile courts had been set
up nationwide meaning that some people might eventually spend their
Christmas behind bars. The public education officer said the corps had
employed patrol strategies including having 24 hours visibility along 52
critical corridors and conduct of mobile courts. “We also have 13
traffic control camps at traffic prone areas for ease of operation and
quick response to traffic issues,” said Kazeem, and that the camps were
located in Lagos, Mowe, Lokoja, Gwagwalada, Ore, Okene among others.

GoFundMe campaign titled "We The People Will Fund The Wall" has raised
over $2.5 million and counting, to build President Donald Trump's border

Kogi
state governor, Yahaya Bello has described members of the National
Assembly that booed President Buhari during the budget presentation
which held on Wednesday, December 19th, as “children who lack home
training”.Speaking with state house correspondents after the Anchor
Borrowers Programme Gala at the state house conference center in Abuja
on Thursday, December 20th, Bello said;“First of all two distinct human
beings, a father, a gentleman, a man who has the interest of the country
at heart, President Muhammadu Buhari displaced his stuff on
Wednesday and those who are self-centered, selfish and bent on
destroying this country and the democracy have also shown
themselves.“This is what I said sometimes back that when you have a
child that is not well trained by his parents he constitutes menace to
the society and that is exactly what we witnessed today in the National
Assembly. National Assembly is suppose to be made of men and women of
character and integrity. We have seen those that constitute such class
of human beings and those that constitute menace to the society in the
National Assembly today. But above all, I thank God, I thank Mr.
President for a wonderful presentation of 2019 budget estimates. We all
believe it’s going to take Nigeria to the next level by the special
grace of God.
