Collapsed bridge: Contractor must compensate victims, says Kwankwaso
The Kano State Police Command said that it had started investigation into the cause of the collapsed bridge that killed seven persons in Kano on Sunday.
Also, the state Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, said the government would force the contractor handling the project to pay for the medical bills of the injured victims.
The contractor, the governor added, would also be forced to pay compensation to families of those who died in the incident.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Magaji Majiya, who spoke with our correspondent on Monday, said that the police was interested in knowing the cause of the collapse in order to stop recurrence of such a tragic incident.
He explained that initial reports showed that the driver of the ill-fated cab driver’s disobedience to an instruction by workers at the site not to drive under the bridge was responsible for the tragedy.
Asked whether the contractor handling the project would be invited for questioning, the PPRO said further probe would determine that.
While sympathising with the families of those who lost their lives, the state governor also prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured, who were receiving medical attention at the hospital.
In a press statement, signed by Ibrahim Dantiye, who is the Director of Press to the Governor, Kwankwaso, vowed to ensure that the company handling the project adequately compensated the victims and their immediate families.
The governor also called on the public to be patient and continue to obey law and order so as to avoid disasters.
Kwankwaso also called on other companies handling construction works in the state to execute their projects in such a manner that would ensure minimum discomfort to road users.
The Kano Police Command had on Sunday confirmed the death of not less than seven persons, following the collapse of a pedestrian bridge at Dorayi quarters in Kano metropolis.
Majiya, who confirmed the collapse of the pedestrian bridge, disclosed that the incident happened around 4.45 pm on Sunday when the bridge, still under construction, caved in and collapsed on the ill-fated taxi.
“It should be noted that the workers on site forewarned motorists not to use the bridge as construction work was ongoing but the driver of the taxi was said to have ignored the warning,” he said.

Russian S-400 for China: Challenge for Asian Geopolitics?
Russia is ready to sell China its state-of-the-art S-400 missile system. Japan is worried by the prospect, fearing it could undermine its security amid an ongoing territorial dispute surrounding the Senkaku Islands, known as the Diaoyu Islands in China.
Moscow, however, had been reluctant to deliver the system to China. It was concerned that Beijing would buy only a small number of the coveted system with the intent of disassembling it and learning how to build it.
Although Moscow and Beijing have yet to officially announce the deal, it seems almost certain that they have agreed on the sale, which Tokyo fears may upset the subtle military balance in the East China Sea.
If the deal is finalized, China will become the first foreign country to buy the S-400 missile system.
China already owns the latest air defense system’s predecessor, the S-300. However, the older system has a range of just 300 kilometers, which means it can only reach as far as some parts of Taiwan.
The 400-kilometer-range system will, for the first time, allow China to strike any aerial target on the island of Taiwan, in addition to reaching air targets as far as New Delhi, Calcutta, Hanoi and Seoul and also closer to the disputed Japanese-controlled Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.Tokyo and Beijing have recently been slowly but steadily working at mending diplomatic relations, with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe having met Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday.
It seems unlikely that the two countries would use force to take the islets anytime in the near future. However, Beijing may mull taking bolder actions in the waters surrounding the Senkaku Islands if it becomes convinced of any military advantage in the Senkaku area.
Moscow, meanwhile, is also well aware of the threat that sales of the S-400 system to China may present to Japan.
Moscow is increasingly frustrated by Tokyo’s sanctions, even though they are not as harsh as those imposed by Washington. The source said that the Kremlin feels that Japan was just trying to please Washington by forcing Russia to pay for its alleged intervention in Ukraine.
It is possible that Vladimir Putin authorized the sale of the S-400 to raise funds amid economic grievances arising from Western sanctions.
Some within Abe’s government said that Japan should not be too strict with Russia, because sanctions that are too harsh may push Moscow closer to Beijing, which is against the national interest of Japan, Nikkei wrote in a comment.

US Ready to Use Nuclear, Conventional Weapons to Defend Japan.
According to a joint statement released on Monday, the US is ready to use nuclear and conventional weapons to defend Japan.
The United States is ready to use all military options, including nuclear weapons, to defend its Japanese ally.
“Central to this is the ironclad US commitment to the defense of Japan, through the full range of US military capabilities, including nuclear and conventional.”
The US Navy base in Yokosuka will station more ballistic missile defense warships by 2017 and receive an advanced nuclear-powered supercarrier in 2015, according to a joint US-Japan statement issued on Monday.
“The Ministers [Japan’s Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, Defense Minister Gen Nakatani] welcomed US plans to deploy additional Aegis ships to Yokosuka Naval Base by 2017, as well as the swap-out of the aircraft carrier USS George Washington with the more advanced USS Ronald Reagan later this year.”
On April 6, 2015, the US Defense Department announced it would locate 60 percent of its military fleet to the Pacific-Indian Ocean, with the newest and most capable weapons systems first going to the Asia-Pacific region.The US Fleet Activities Yokosuka naval base, located south of the Japanese capital city Tokyo, was established in 1945. The base is the largest overseas US Naval installation in the world and is considered to be one of the most strategically important bases in the US military, according to the US Navy.
“The Ministers also reaffirmed that the Senkaku Islands are territories under the administration of Japan and therefore fall within the scope of the commitments under Article 5 of the US-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security,” the joint statement read.
The Diaoyu, or Senkaku, Islands have long been a disputed territory between China and Japan. Tokyo claims it has occupied the islands since 1895, while Beijing argues that the islands were recognized as Chinese as early as 1783.
The ministers stated that “they oppose any unilateral action that seeks to undermine Japan’s administration of these islands.”
My Hubby is constantly comparing me with his exes
I’m married to a man who always compares me with his ex to my face!! Every time there is a bit of misconception he continually reminds me how well his ex understood him and treats him. What does this mean and how do I deal with this? I am befuddled!! I have let him know severally how well I abhorred it and he doesn’t see a big ordeal in it, he doesn’t even give a second thought how I feel about it. How do I get him to stop it?
