Terrorists Now Hide IEDs Among Vegetables – Nigerian Army

By     No comments:
de


The Defence Headquarter has revealed the new tactics devised by Boko Haram terrorists to hide explosives.
In a statement released on Thursday, January 14, the acting Director Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar said this is a continuation with the sensitization of our citizens on the devilish strategy of the terrorists.
“The Nigerian Military authorities have discovered that the Boko Haram terrorists are determined to continue letting off bombs and have resorted to masquerading as fruits and vegetable vendors wheeling Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) as groceries into crowded areas,”
“The terrorists now hide IEDs under vegetable wares in carts and wheelbarrows and move to crowded places where they detonate them for maximum casualties. The recent terrorists attack in the North East is a case in point.
”Having been effectively dislodged and decimated the BH terror group has begun some systematic isolated attacks mainly on soft targets in their desperation to remain relevant”.
The statement therefore advised Nigerians to be constantly on alert.
“Defence Headquarters hereby advises the general public to constantly be alert to this latest terrorist tactics and to report promptly any suspicious persons or objects to the nearest security agency,”
“While commending the general public and the media for their continuous support so far, all citizens are once again reminded that security is everybody’s concern therefore, they should join hands with the security agencies to eliminate the remnant of the terrorists.”

See Mothers Of Missing Chibok Girls Crying Today As Buhari Disappoints Them(Pics)

By     No comments:


President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met with parents of more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014.

The meeting took place today after the parents, accompanied by members of the BringBackOurGirls movement, marched on the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to the Bring Back Our Girls group, Buhari who spoke in English and Hausa during the meeting today, spent no time to comfort the parents. He also barred people from taking pictures and did not allow journalists in the hall.

The mood and tone of the July 8th meeting was much warmer than today’s meeting as Mr. Buhari was cold, the group said.

Presidency Submitted Fake 2016 Budget – Senate Panel

By     No comments:


The drama trailing the 2016 budget in the Senate continued Thursday with stunning assertions by the Senate leadership.

The troubling revelations came after over two hour closed session where the lawmakers were said to have “thoroughly discussed and taken far reaching decisions on the budget.

After the closed session, Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, announced that the secret meeting centered on the controversy surrounding the 2016 Appropriation Bill.

He also recalled that they mandated the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to investigate the matter in order for the Senate to take an informed position.

Saraki then dropped the bombshell.

He said that the Senate discovered from the findings of its Ethics committee that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matter, Senator Ita Enang, printed and submitted to the Senate a different version of the 2016 budget.

He said that what Enang submitted to the Senate was against the original copy of the Appropriation Bill presented by President Muhammadu Buhari on December 22, 2015.

Saraki did not stop there.

He said that the Senate resolved not to work with a version of the Appropriation Bill not laid before the National Assembly.

He added that the Senate also resolved to consider only the version of Bill presented by President Buhari as soon as they receive soft copy of the original document from the Executive.

He said, “We have received the report of the Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on investigations surrounding 2016 Appropriation Bill.

“Our finding is that Senator Ita Enang, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matter (SSA) printed copies of the 2016 Appropriation Bill and brought to the Senate.

“We have discovered that what he brought is different from the version presented by Mr. President.

“We have resolved to consider only the version presented by Mr. President as soon as we receive soft copy of the original document from the Executive.”

Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi also addressed reporters immediately after Senate plenary to throw more light on the claim of a fake budget.

Abdullahi spoke in company with the Vice Chairman of his committee, Senator Ben Murray – Bruce.

He said, “We are here to update you on an issue that has been awash in the media. We are here in continuation of what we have said earlier that the report about a missing budget is not true.

“We don’t have a budget that is missing and we still maintain that we don’t have a budget that is missing.

“But you recall that the Senate President did inform Nigerians that there is issue that a committee was asked to investigate.

“The report of the investigation by the committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition has been submitted in the Executive session because it was a decision we took in the last Executive session on Tuesday.

“Now our findings are this, that Mr. President did lay the budget in the Joint session of the National Assembly.

“Thereafter, the Senate went on recess and upon resumption copies of the document were produced by Senator Ita Enang, who is the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters for Senate and copies were submitted to both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

“What we found out is that the document submitted by Senator Ita Enang upon our resumption has some differences and discrepancies with what was originally laid by Mr. President in the joint sitting of the National Assembly.

“However, the Senate in defence in its integrity and honour will not work with what has not been laid in the National Assembly.

“We are constitutionally mandated and duty bound to consider only that budget that has been so laid by Mr. President.

“Right now, for reproduction, we are awaiting the soft copy of the originally submitted budget so that the National Assembly can reproduce copies of the budget itself.

“Because if we reproduce ourselves, then we have confidence in the fact that what we reproduced is what was originally submitted to us.

“The institution of the Senate will not and cannot do anything that is illegal. We will not do anything that will not promote the unity, integrity and welfare of Nigerians.

“Some people were saddled with the responsibility to find out what happened.”

Abdullahi reiterated that “the budget submitted by the President is not missing, “we already have copies of it but what we are saying is that for us to reproduce for our members, it is easier, based on the quantum of document that has to be produced, that we get the soft copy of that original version so that we can reproduce it.”

He insisted that “by next week, we want to go down to business, Senators have picked dates to speak during the three days set aside for debate of the 2016 budget.”

Abdullahi also said that the Senate leadership was mandated to speak with all those concerned with the document saying “that was why the Senate President was in touch with Mr. President.”

The Senate spokesperson however refused to speak on the claim by the House of Representatives that it had its own original version of the fiscal document.

He also declined to say what amounted to the differences spotted in the version of the budget submitted by Enang and the original version presented by President Buhari.

“I am not in the position to say the differences between the document submitted by the President and the one brought by Ita Enang. The committee that investigated the issue did not include that in their report,” he claimed.

Abdullahi said that as at the time the Senate President promised to make copies of the budget available to Senators Thursday, “he was working on the assumption that what were brought by the executive were copies of the original copies submitted by Mr. President.”

He noted that “but based on the outcry, it was discovered that there are another version different from what the President gave us.”

The man at the centre of the controversy, Senator Ita Enang, refused to respond to what the Senate President said.

Enang told anxious reporters who crowded his office that he does not want to join issue with the Senate.

Ronaldo's sister blasts Messi's fans for defacing his statue

By     No comments:


Cristiano Ronaldo's sister has blasted supposed fans of Lionel Messi who defaced the superstar's statue in his hometown, Madeiram after the 30year old lost to Lionel Messi in the Ballon d'or award showpiece on Monday. The statue was erected in Madeira's capital city, Funchal, in 2014 in honour of Ronaldo's achievements.


His sister, Katia Aveiro, expressed her anger after fans painted Messi's name and number on Ronaldo's statue. She felt they aren't grateful the player's success and fame has put the island on the world map even going a step too far by saying the fans deserve to live in ISIS war torn Syria.

She posted on twitter.
'You all know I'm this man's sister, and above all how much proud I am to be so, and to know the wonderful and fighting person he is' 'I find the act in itself a disgrace but what I find more shameful is the envy that surrounds him and the anger that some unloved and frustrated pig-headed people display in public in a disgraceful way which leaves me embarrassed and sad as a Portuguese person. 'The people that are responsible for this and other negative things directed towards this person should know that our island was recently voted the world's leading island destination not just for the beautiful sea that surrounds us, nor for the marvellous gastronomy we also have nor the warm Madeiran welcome. 'It was in part thanks to this great Madeiran figure that honours his origins and from time to time emphasises it in public. 'Most of us should thank and salute to this man, it's thanks to him that a lot of Madeirenses still have their jobs. 'My beautiful island, regrettably, is still inhabited by some frustrated savages who deserve to live in Syria, between people that show no respect and hold no value for life in society. 'I apologise for the ones who live the sadness of war, but I believe some people don't belong on the land they live in.'

Policemen on domestic errands or escorting unauthorised persons will be arrested- Mike Okiro

By     No comments:


Former Inspector General of Police, and current Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Mike Okiro, yesterday said that policemen found on domestic errand or escorting unauthorised persons will be arrested.

Okiro stated this in Abuja yesterday, January 13, while addressing some critical issues concerning the Nigeria Police Force. He said the the Police Service Commission has worked out a blueprint spelling out the duties of police officers attached to Very Important Personalities (VIPs) and that officers doing domestic job would not be tolerated anymore.

“The issue of policemen performing domestic duties, as you can all agree with me, has generated much uproar and even condemnation as it is capable of eroding the public esteem of members of the NPF. To stem the tide, we have worked out a blueprint of the class of VIPs that should enjoy the privilege of attaching police officers to provide VIP protection with their specific duties clearly spelt out. The matter is awaiting the consent of the relevant authorities, before we can start its implementation. This policy is very critical and is aimed at shoving up, the professionalism of the Police Force and rekindles the high respect the police deserve in the public eye cum image.”he said

Metuh Speaks About His Ordeal In The Hands Of EFCC

By     No comments:


Adeyanju Deji, the Peoples Democratic Party’s director of new media, has narrated how he visited Olisa Metuh, the PDP’s spokesperson, who was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) last week.

Deji further quoted Metuh saying: “They have tried to blackmail & spoil my name. Just imagine all they have said about me. Telling lies against me.

“First they said I was collecting N5million Naira monthly from office of NSA, imagine if u were my staff how u will feel hearing that. Imagine how all the news people & my staff working with me felt when they heard I was collecting N5milion Naira from Dasuki. They will say so this man was a wicked man. So he was collecting money from Dasuki & other places & was always telling us no money.

“Then they said I received N1.4billion, another big lie. All what they wanted was for everybody to see me like a common thief & hate me.


“Finally they came back to say I only got N400million. I have made a statement that former president asked me to do an assignment 4 him. In my statement, I stated that former president Jonathan gave me an assignment, he asked for an account & I gave him my company account. I got N400m which I used for the job he asked me to do. I gave a report to him of job done & he was satisfied. I have a copy of the report I submitted to the former president. EfCC asked me who I shared the money to & said it’s not their buz.

“That if they have any evidence against me, they should charge me to court. I have not called anyone’s name & will never call anyone. It is not a crime to carry out an assignment for a president & successfully do it as well. I have no regrets.

“They asked me for a copy of my report to the former president. I asked them are they the Court? I stated in my statement that it is a lie that I was collecting N5m Naira monthly from Dasuki or anyone in GEJ’s government. I stated they should investigate me thoroughly. If I have ever received any kobo from any parastatal or agency then I will plead guilty.”

Deji noted that Metuh commended the PDP and all members of the party for the great job during the governorship elections in Bayelsa state.


Continuing his narration, Metuh was quoted to have said:

“Imagine the EFCC boss sent my lawyer to me to ask me to return some of the money from the N400m. Unbelievable.

“Deji this government are not interested in democracy or civil liberty at all. You are guilty once they say so.

“Reason why they are doing media trials is because they have noting to offer this nation. That’s why they are doing this Telemundo.

“All what we told them is the same thing the IMF woman came to tell them. We told them u can’t borrow to fund 2016 budget. What we told them about Dollar is what they have finally agreed to do now. They have no ideas or clue about governance.

“They don’t believe in democracy or the notion of “innocent before proven guilty.” They want to silent every critic.”
