Chairman, House Committee on Rules and Business, Emmanuel Orker-Jev, APC-Benue, made the allegation, weekend, while briefing newsmen in Abuja on the legislative activities of the 8th House in its one year anniversary. But he also stated that the House recorded an improved executive compliance to resolutions in its first legislative year, unlike the past when public officers demonstrated poor compliance to implementation of resolutions by securing restraining orders from courts. He pointed out that in the past, some resolutions passed by the legislature were ignored by serving ministers or members of the executive arm of government. He said instead of the executive members obeying the resolutions of the National Assembly, they would prefer to proceed to the court to get a restraining order or run to the Presidency for protection. He, however, blamed the serving AGF for non-compliance of some of the resolutions of the National Assembly, such as the resolution o

Patron Christopher Hanson said at first he thought the loud, rhythmic sounds were part of the music "until you heard too many shots. It was like, bang, bang, bang, bang." At some point, it dawned on him that the "loud banging noises" were actually "gunshots going off," Hanson said. "I didn't see any of the actual shooters," he told CNN. "I just saw bodies going down and I was ordering a drink at the bar. I fell down. I crawled out. People were trying to escape out the back. "I just know that when I hit the ground, I was crawling and I hit my elbows and my knees. When I got across the street, there were people -- blood everywhere."

Tunde is 32 years of age and a Barrister at Doughty Street Chambers. He was raised on a council estate in Hackney, East London. He is the eldest of four children and was the first person in my family to attend university and obtain a degree. During his studies, Tunde undertook numerous simultaneous part-time jobs in the food and retail industry, to enable him to contribute towards his household. Consequently, his academic studies suffered, and he obtained a 2.2 in his undergraduate degree. Career advisors and professionals told him that he would never make it. Despite this setback, Tunde ploughed on. He involved himself in community work and was eventually invited to conduct a workshop on behalf of the Greater London Authority. As a result of his performance on this project, he was asked to become a director of the charity, From Boyhood to Manhood Foundation, and was awarded a meritorious scholarship to attend bar school where he would excel academically to offset
