TRACE warns against indiscriminate parking in Sango-Ota

TRACE Officials

The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) has warned the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and others unions against the indiscriminate parking of vehicles by their drivers in Sango-Ota park and its environs.

Mr Seni Ogunyemi, the Chief Executive Officer, gave the warning when he briefed newsmen on the achievements of TRACE in 2016 in Ota, Ogun, on Friday.

Represented by Adekunle Ajibade, the Unit Commander, Sango-Ota, Ogunyemi said the indiscriminate parking of drivers would no longer be condoned because they were constituting nuisance and gridlocks in the area.

“The indiscriminate parking of drivers had resulted in some fatal accidents where lives and property were lost,” Ogunyemi said.

He, however, implored the NURTW and others stakeholders like the Road Transport and Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) to desist from parking and dropping passengers on the roads.

The TRACE boss also urged the unions to be proactive toward eliminating selling of alcohol, marijuana and other narcotic drugs in the area and motor parks.

Ogunyemi said that TRACE had also embarked on public enlightenment programmes to increase public safety consciousness and attitudinal change of road users to ensure safety in the state.

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime.
