Dubai Police add Lamborghini Aventador to its fleet of Patrol Cars


This 700 horsepower patrol car may be very useful for high-speed car chases  or maybe it just perfectly complements the opulent display of wealth that has become Dubai’s forte.The latest addition to the emirate’s collection of glamorous possessions is a slick white and green Lamborghini Aventador for its police force, reported Yahoo Autos. The announcement was made through the force’s twitter feed, @DubaiPoliceHQ, which sparked off a frenzy of tweets with the hash tag #OnlyinDubai.According to Emirates 24/7, Dubai’s police force cited enhanced patrolling abilities to justify its purchase of the $550, 000 dollar police car, while 7 Days in Dubai quoted a director of the police force saying that the aesthetic appeal of the car would help illustrate the city’s class. The car has been customized for highway patrol, reported Emirates 24/7.  According to recent police figures, 15% of traffic fines issued in Dubai every day are for driving at speeds in excess of 130 m.p.h., reported Sky News. The Aventador can hits speeds of up to 216 m.p.h. Dubai Police announced on 11 April they added the Italian-made sports car to their police vehicles, apparently to boost their ability in high-speed chases.The Lamborghini carries a customized license plate  the number 8  and is already on the streets, although as a two-seater it’s not going to be carting off many suspects, reported 7 Days in Dubai  much to the disappointment of this tweeter, “Officer, please cuff me in the Aventador and throw away the keys.”Maybe the Nigerian Police can take a cue from this and purchase exotic cars to arrest V.I.P criminals lol!

Minister of Aviation: Stella Oduah  The face-off over the registration or otherwise of a Bombadier aircraft owned by the Rivers State government took a twist on Thursday with the Federal Government threatening to prosecute Rivers for forgery. Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, said in a statement that the clearance documents used by the aircraft had been discovered to be forged, threatening that the state government would be prosecuted for the action which the minister said amounted to a violation of the nation’s aviation laws as well as other extant criminal laws of the land. The statement issued on behalf of the minister by her Special Assistant, Media, Joe Obi, reads in part, “The presentation of false information or forged documentation to regulatory authorities in the processing of official approvals or permits is clearly a serious violation of the Civil Aviation Act, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations and other extant criminal laws in the Federal Republic of Niger...

Minister of Health: Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu With over six million Nigerians suffering from albinism along with its numerous challenges, the Albino Foundation Thursday commenced additional measures aimed at saving those with the condition  from cancer and other threats. As part of the measures, albinos were told Thursday at a conference to herald a one-week National Albinism Day celebration that they must be proactive to avoid anything that would endanger their lives. A speaker, Dr. Stella Chijioke, said in her presentation on “Healthy Living for Persons with Albinism” that albinos and other Nigerians  should also seek pre-marital counselling to avoid the proliferation of albinism. Noting that there was no cure for albinism, she said treatment was often given to ease symptoms. Founder/CEO of the Albino Foundation, Mr.  Jake Epelle, urged the federal government to declare May 5 as a national day for albinism to enable sufficient attention to be paid to those wit...
