civil servant not below grade level 12.
Sowore and four others are standing trial for alleged unlawful

Sowore and four others were arrested by the police on New Year’s
Eve during a protest against bad governance.
Sowore had earlier before the protest charged Nigerians on
Twitter to hold a crossover protest by picking up a candle and a
placard showing their grievances against the President Muhammadu
Buhari administration.
This is not the first time Sowore will be arrested. He was
detained for over 100 days in 2019 for calling for a
#RevolutionNowProtest.

Dr. Olorunnimbe Mamora, Minister of State for Health, Monday
said that the ongoing registration and National Identification
Number enrolment may be suspended due to the rise in the number of
Covid-19 cases in the country.

80,030 persons have been treated and discharged.

On Sunday 10, 2021, NCDC confirmed 1,544 new infections of the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country. This however is a wake-up
call to all Nigerian that Covid-19 is real.
In other to stem the spread, Mamora while playing host on
Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme today, said it would
be wise if NIN enrolment and registration is suspended.
“I don’t feel good looking at the picture where people are
gathered in multitude; it’s like a super-spreader event which we
don’t like. But I’m also aware that the relevant ministry which is
the communications and digital economy is looking at this.
“My understanding is that the whole process may be suspended so
as to reorder the whole process in terms of management of the crowd
because it was never intended that it would become a rowdy process
like that.
“We have a duty as government to ensure that people are
protected; we also have a duty to ensure people comply within the
limit of what is good for the society at large.”
