    The Chairman, Traders Association Singer Market, Kano, Ibrahim Danyaro has on Monday pledged to reduce and stabilise prices of essential commodities in the state.

    Danyaro, disclosed this to journalists on Monday in Kano.

    He said this shortly after meeting with the Chairman of Public Complaints and Anti Corruption Commission, Muhuyi Magaji Rimin-Gado.

    The commission on Sunday burst and sealed 10 warehouses that allegedly hoarded assorted food items at Dawanau International Grains Market and Singer Market.

    Danyaro said, “We are going to work hand in hand with the commission to ensure that there is price control to ease life for people in Kano and beyond.’’

    He stated that traders at the market were selling goods at lesser price than companies, assuring that they would try to maintain the current price from now till Ramadan and beyond.

    He said, “We don’t increase prices of foodstuffs such as rice, sugar, milk and others.”

    He explained that commodity dealers at Singer Market were not hoarding goods at the expense of consumers, saying that their goods at stores were always open for sale to customers.

    He added, “We are pleased to inform you that following the recent operation by the anti-graft commission, we have come with invoices and other documents to prove to the commission that we are not in any way engaged in hoarding commodities at the Singer Market. We have proved beyond reasonable doubt that we don’t engage in such.

    “Our problem is from the producers of the goods. They are the ones increasing the prices unconditionally. What we buy today is not what we will buy tomorrow. We have reached an agreement with the commission that we are not going to increase the prices of goods even as we sell below the company prices. We want Governor Yusuf to address this issue by meeting with the producers to get to the root of the consistent increase in prices.’’

    Earlier, Rimin-Gado reassured that the commission would go after hoarders and would not relent in its efforts.

    He explained that the commodities they found hoarded at the sealed warehouses did not belong to the businessmen at Singer Market.

    “They have promised to cooperate with the commission in ensuring that prices of goods are maintained or even reduced and would not rise any more. We are going to work with them to ensure that if the prices stabilise, we would make efforts to further reduce them for the good of the people of Kano,” he said.

    Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities.  The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault.  The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service.  Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said.  The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force.  The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas.  Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her.  Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes.  On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said.  “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.

    Is Anthony Odiong still a priest after life in prison sentence over rape?
