Attacks From Fulani Herdsmen May Result In Civil War If Not Checked - Huriwa

By     No comments:


A pro-democracy group, the Human Rights Writers Association Of Nigeria, HURIWA has warned that Nigeria may be dangerously approaching the precipice of civil war in view of “the seeming conspiratorial silence and clear case of orchestrated ineptitude and inaction” of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to the dare devil activities and blood cuddling violence of armed Fulani herdsmen.
The group, in a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko warned the law enforcement agencies and the military to rein in their errant commanders and management level officers to stop deploying armed security operatives to work in concert with suspected armed Fulani herdsmen to create anarchy and civil unrest across Nigeria.

HURIWA claimed that some top commanders within the Division One of the Nigeria Army illegally deployed armed soldiers who invaded Awgu Enugu State community whereby 76 indigenous Igbo farmland owners were arrested and hauled into the Umuahia prison for allegedly resisting the plots and activities of some armed Fulani herdsmen to annex some of their ancestral farmlands for the purposes of illegal grazing of cattle.

It called on the armed forces to immediately dismantle and arrest the well coordinated armed Fulani terrorists who are currently engaging in the criminal kidnap of prominent Nigerians for the purposes of extorting heavy ransoms.

HURIWA particularly condemned as the heights of provocation the kidnap in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State of a Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Aniako Celestine, priest in charge of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Ukana, Udi Local Government Area who was kidnapped by suspected Fulani herdsmen Saturday evening on his way from his home town, Ezeagu.

While stressing that military and police commanders within the South-East must stop this dangerous trend, the rights group noted that for the herdsmen to have demanded a ransom of N10 million through the hostage’s mobile number, shows the sophisticated nature of the crime. It then wondered why the law enforcement agents are yet to deploy the necessary tracking technological systems to arrest the armed kidnappers.

According to the statement, “the frightening report in the dailies that the activities of herdsmen in Ugwuleshi, Awgu Local Government Area of the state, last week, led to destruction of farmland and livestock worth millions of Naira and the detention of 76 members of the community, who were later granted bail by Umuahia Magistrate’s Court last Friday, following Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s intervention, is a serious cause for concern”.

“The further aggravating news that Fulani herdsmen had also killed two sisters in Abbi, Uzo Uwani Local Government Area last month leaving 17 houses burnt is reprehensible and abominable. The President should implement transparent measures to disarm these armed Fulani marauders who are currently rampaging all across the rest of the Nigerian communities. The Federal government of Nigeria headed by the Fulani indigene of Katsina State Muhammadu Buhari must act now to prevent the imminent civil war which may be occasioned by the unwarranted levels of destruction by armed Fulani herdsmen.”

Fuel scarcity: North gets 160 tankers …Lagos, S/West 40 trucks

By     No comments:


According to Daily Sun investigation, 80 per cent of the consignment (21,000 metric tonnes) which represents 5.28 million litres has been allocated to the north while Lagos, Ogun and some other South West states will share the remaining 20 percent or 1.32 million litres.

In practical terms 6.5 million litres translate to 200 tankers, with each tanker containing 33,000. With this calculation, the North gets 160 tankers while the South West will have 40 tankers.

Daily Sun, had exclusively reported the arrival of the vessel christened Sea Frontier which brought in the 6.5 million litres of petrol.

Loading activities at the Apapa and Ibafon depots as at yesterday was not encouraging as long queues of tankers dotted the stretch of Apapa Oshodi Expressway from Ijesha to Mile 2. At press time, scores of tankers were also waiting at other loading bay including that of the Cooperative Society of the Kaduna Petrochemical Refining Company (KPRC) to be loaded.

Investigations by Daily Sun revealed that a vessel arrived at Capital Oil yesterday while loading activities was ongoing at Folawiyo as at 4.20pm with Techno oil loading in trickles.

Meanwhile, commuters across the country have been telling tales of woes as they experience challenges moving to their respective offices and business locations.

However, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has attributed the perennial scarcity to the inconsistencies in the Federal Government’s policy.

The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, who spoke in Lagos, said contradictory utterances by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu on the present crisis have further aggravated the situation across the country.

Wabba said with the statement credited to the minister that fuel would not be available until May made the independent marketers to deliberately hoard the product, while others resorted to selling at skyrocketed prices.

The Minister is not consistent, at one time he said fuel will not be available until May, at another time he said April 7, so the marketers who are behind the present high prices know that they will not be sanctioned. They hoard products, despite the fact that they have fuel, so that they can sell at high prices,” he said.

The NLC president stressed the need for the government to be firm on the issue of petroleum, adding that it is high time the Federal Government addressed Nigerians on the present crisis.

“With the present crisis, we want the Presidency to tell Nigerians if the subsidy policy is still in place or not. The contradiction is what is causing the crisis,” he said.

Wabba who lamented that since the scarcity began, productivity has been at its lowest ebb called for a meeting of all stakeholders in the industry to resolve the perennial problem.

Wabba stated that Nigerian workers have been impoverished by the crisis as they have spend more on transportation.

“This is quite unfortunate, people voted for this government because we believe that they will fight corruption. But we wonder why it is still difficult to stop all these people causing problem in the oil sector, despite the fact that they have support from the people,” he said.

The fuel situation in Benin and environs remains critical as most filling do not have the product to sell. The few stations that have the product are selling between N230 and N250 per litre. The scarcity has forced long queues, especially at NNPC stations and those belonging to major marketers as motorists keep vigil in expectation of supply of fuel.



Expectedly, many commercial buses and taxies have been forced off the road, thereby resulting in transport difficulties even as passengers are forced to pay high fares.

While Abuja has recorded improvement, residents of the South-East are still groaning.

In Lagos, traffic snarl occasioned by the activities of filling stations impeded movement, forcing commuters to spend longer hours in traffic.

At Agege Pen Cinema, Abula Egba, Egba, Yaba, Igando, Ikeja, and Sango in Ogun State, commuters had a hectic time getting buses while the few available ones hiked their fares by over 100 percent in a bid to cushion the effect of high fuel cost.

A ride from Egbeda in the early hours of yesterday, which normally costs N150 attracted to N500 while Oshodi to Mile 2, which ordinarily costs N100 was hiked to N150.

Most of the transporters who spoke to Daily Sun hinged the hike on the high cost of fuel from the filling stations, especially independent marketers who have refused to sell at the official pump price.

"Saraki's PA Deposited N600k To N900k Into His Account 50 Times In One Day" - EFCC

By     No comments:


EFCC Detective: Personal Assistant To Saraki Deposited N600,00 to N900,000 Into His Account 50 Times In One day

Michael Wetkas, a detective with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Tuesday, narrated how Senate President Bukola Saraki allegedly used fictitious names to launder billions of naira.

Testifying against the senate president at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), the EFCC detective also claimed that Saraki’s personal account at GTB had an inflow of about N4 billion between 2005 and 2013.

“When the defendant was governor of Kwara state between 2003 and 2011. The commission received several petitions from various groups. One of the petitioners was Kwara Freedom Network. They brought several petitions all bordering on abuse of office by the defendant, misappropriation of public fund and money laundering.

“Sometime in 2014 the then executive chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde received intelligence reports of suspicious transactions involving the defendant. He set up a team of investigators. Our task was to investigate the intelligence reports.

“The investigation report was reviewed by my team. In the course of our investigation, we discovered that there were several companies which were linked to the defendant. Some of them include Carlisle Properties Investment Ltd, Skyview Properties Ltd, LimKvars Ltd, and TIly-lie Ltd.

Some of the companies maintain accounts at Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), Zenith Bank, Access Bank, and other banks.

“From the investigation, it was discovered that the defendant maintained three accounts at GTB.

The first account is a naira currency account; the second is a US dollar account, and the third is a pound sterling account.

“The naira account was analyzed, and it was discovered that between 2005 and 2013, the account had an in-flow of about N4 billion. The major source of in-flow into the accounts was loans taken from GTB within the period. The loans were about N2.5 billion, and the other source of in-flows into the account was massive lodgments by individuals. Other in flows into the account were from the companies.

“It was discovered that money was used for the purchase of property. The dollar account was also analyzed. The major source of in-flow into the dollar account was Tily-lie Properties Ltd, which was about $2m. Another source was from Bureau de Change companies.

And the rest was cash lodgments by individuals. The cash in the dollar account between 2009 and 2013 was $6m. We discovered that up to $3.4m was wired to American Express Services Europe Limited, which was used to fund the defendant’s American Express Service New York card account number 374588216836009.

“The defendant wired over 1.5m pound sterling to Fortis Bank for the purchase of property in the UK.

“After that, because of the suspicious in-flows into the account, the bank (GTB) officials were invited. The reason for the invitation of the officials was that some of the individuals who were making the cash lodgment into the account were bank officials. One Oluwa Tujimu reported to the commission. From our of interactions with him, we discovered that some of the lodgments were made through a superior at the bank, Bayo Daudu, who was the relationship manager of the account. In our interaction with Daudu, it was discovered the cash sums were handed over to him by the defendant for lodgment in the account.

According to Daudu, he goes to Kwara state government house to collect the money from the defendant for lodgment into the account at the GRA Ilorin branch of GTB.

“We discovered one name, Abdul Adama, who made transaction 50 times into the account in a single day. The sum was broken down to N600, 000 and N900,000, and was lodged in the same day.

Subsequently, after that one Ubi made a lodgment on the same day about 20 times in the same range of N600, 000 and N900, 000. We looked for Adama and invited him. He reported that the cash sums were handed over to him by the defendant and stated further that the cash sums that were lodge in by Ubi into the same account were from the accused.

“Adama and Ubi were personal assistants to the accused while he was governor.

Further investigations revealed that other individuals who made lodgments into the account were fictitious.

“GTB said they had done the needful by reporting the suspicious transactions to FIU.”

Fuel Price To Increase In Coming Month... SEE WHY

By     No comments:


Nigerians might have to pay more for petrol in the days ahead, as the Federal Government, Tuesday, disclosed that it would undertake the review of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol, in the month of May.

This was even as the Acting Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Mrs. Sotonye Iyoyo, called on the Federal Government to undertake the automation of PPPRA Operations for improved efficiency and transparency and also develop a pricing framework to encourage local refining and discourage importation of petroleum products in the long term.

Speaking during a visit to the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) in Abuja, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Ibe Kachikwu, also stated that the present fuel crisis witnessed across the country would end in Lagos and Abuja by Thursday, while it would end in other states of the country by the end of the week.

Kachikwu also stated as part of a long term strategy to eliminating fuel scarcity, especially with the issue of sourcing scarce foreign exchange, the Federal Government is considering the privatisation of the petroleum industry, whereby operators would be allowed to source for funding and run the industry, while government’s role would be felt in the area of price modulation.

Speaking on the planned review of petrol prices, he explained that the country had been able to save a lot of money within the first three months of the year, stating that the savings would be used to fund the gap recorded in pricing in April. He said, “The reality is that in the first three months of doing the price modulation, our over-recovery basically enabled us to save quite a lot of money and that is going to fund the gap that we see in April. But for May, obviously, the prices would have to be adjusted to mark the current trends.

Linda Replies Wizkid : mentions that his Porsche car is also on hire purchase ... Get Full Gist Here!!!

By     No comments:

The social media war between thes two seems to be getting messier as linda finally responded to wizkid and even made some more shocking revelations on her blog about wizkid's  flambouyant and extravagant fake life style.. read her responds below:
So my darling little ‘friend’ Wizkid came on my IG page this morning to blast me for writing yesterday that he was given quit notice at the Lekki home he claimed he bought some years ago, which he actually rented. He threatened to beat me up…called me an ugly old Dam…(I’m ugly? lol) says I don’t have a man (crying over that..) and called my mum a loser…(what a child).
Anyway, all that don’t matter, people have said worse to me…what I wanted to address is the part where he said I slept with his director and he left me in a hotel…that one I will definitely want to address because some people actually believe it. That my dear friends, is a lie! Please continue…
First and foremost, I’ve never met Wizkid one on one. I’ve only seen him once in real life on stage at a show a few years ago. I’ve never met anybody who is his director. Guess he put that line in his comments to defame me. You that mad that people now know the house is not yours? Lol.
Trust me, if I knew someone was Wizkid’s director, I’d rather kill myself than sleep with him or any other entertainer for that matter (except maybe he’s my husband..hehe) because I know how some of these entertainers are…they kiss and tell a lot. You can’t afford to be messing around in their circle. So, no, I have NEVER slept with Wizkid’s director. I live a celibate life..most of the time. (Though, that has to end soon…I’m getting old and missing out on that part of life…lol)
I’ve always been an advocate of women respecting their bodies and owning their own. And I feel s*x should only happen when you’re in committed relationship (that is if you can’t wait till marriage) and I recommend celibacy for a long as you’re not committed to someone. There’s absolutely no dignity in sleeping around and messing around with different men. It’s ugly and God don’t like ugly. So no, I’m not that woman, and will never be that woman. Nice try, Wizkid!
Having said that, I’m sure, you wonder why Wizkid is so mad at me? To be honest, I don’t know either. All I know is that his beef with me started a long time ago but he decided to start bashing me online after I refused a meeting with him. A few months ago, he asked his PR people to contact me, that he wanted to talk to me. For some reason, he thought I didn’t like him and I was hurting his image online. He wanted to see how I could write more positive things about him but I turned down the meeting. Not that I have anything against him, I sincerely don’t! I think he’s an amazing talent and one of the few music stars in Nigeria with a midas touch. So this wasn’t personal. I just didn’t want to meet him. If he lobbies me then it means I won’t be able to write anything about him anymore…and my job is to write…about everything, including entertainers.
I am cordial with some of them…many of them I have never met. I try to stay away from gatherings where they are because the more friends you make in the entertainment industry, the less you can write. And that will inadvertently affect your work. The few ones that I call acquaintances, it’s hard to write about them because you feel you’re cool with them and even when you write, they call you to complain. So, the fewer ‘friends’ I have in the entertainment industry, the better my job will be.
So Wizkid can bash me all he wants…but I will continue to do my job. Maybe he thinks the more he bashes me, then I will stop writing about him? Won’t work. But meanwhile, if he tells a lie about me, I will address it. LIB plans to be around for a long time…some of these people will come and go! :-).
Thanks everyone and Wizkid’s fans for reading my response.
Oh and by the way, did I mention that his Porsche car is also on hire purchase? Oh poo, I just mentioned that! And no, darling, you’re not 25! We know your real age! Continue to have an amazing career while I watch and continue to celebrate you.
Kisses

Unconfirmed reports say that Wizkid is not quite the Lagos landlord that we thought he was.

According to the report, the “Pakurumo” crooner’s eviction notice was received by his ‘reps’, his rent is said to have expired since January this year.
Wizkid moved into the duplex in 2013 after parting with EME and everyone believed he had bought the house, a notion which the pop star did nothing to correct.
A couple of days back, the singer posted some pictures of himself in a massive Atlanta mansion which also {mis}led people into believing it was his property.
Perhaps he is finally moving into his own home, as his people are said to be moving his things from the house already.
Never the less he has been given till the 11th of this month to vacate the residence.

Cooks In FGGC Akure Caught Picking Used Pads Of Students For "Ritual"

By     No comments:


Two cooks In A Girls' School (FGGC,AKURE) were allegedly caught picking the used sanitary pads of students from waste bins allegedly for ritual purposes, three cooks who are employees of the Federal Government Girls’ College, Akure, have been arrested by men of the Ondo State Police Command.
The suspects, whose names were not released, were alleged to have taken the used pads of girls residing in the school to unknown places outside the school premises.

It was gathered that some students, who caught two of the cooks perpetrating the act, reported the matter to their teachers, who in turn alerted the principal, Mrs Florence Ejikeme.

A source said the principal, on hearing the matter, ordered for the immediate suspension of the three and began investigation on the matter.

Not pleased with the handling of the matter by the school authority, the students attempted to stage a protest but were stopped due to the intervention of the chairman of the Parents Teachers Association, Mr. Akin Ashimolowo.

However, the students were said to have reported the matter to their parents during their visiting day on a Saturday.

A parent, who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the suspects had confessed to the crime at the police station .

She alleged that one of the suspects is a wife of a prominent politician in the state and may want to use their ‘connections’ to sweep the matter under the carpets , adding that her child told her that it was not the first time such a thing would be happening in the school and nothing was being done.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the Ondo State Command, Mr. Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident said only two of the women were in the police custody while the command had commenced investigation on the matter.

The PPRO, who refused to mention the names of the suspects, however noted that the command had not been able to establish whether or not the suspects used the sanitary pads for ritual purposes as alleged.

APC Youth Leader and 3 Others Killed In Fresh Fulani Herdsmen Attack

By     No comments:


Four persons including the All Progressives Congress, APC, youth leader, were feared killed in a fresh bloody clash between Fulani herdsmen and some farmers at Tse Tia, in Tarka Local Government area of Benue State.

 this latest killing erupted when some unidentified youths in the village allegedly killed two herdsmen and five cattle that were grazing in their farmland inside the said village.

According to the source, when the story of the murder got to the herdsmen, they stormed the village later in the day to retrieve the remains of their kinsmen.

The source said: “Their presence in the village enraged the locals and a bloody fight ensued leading to the abduction and murder of two persons from the village, including the APC youth leader in Tarka local government area, Mr. Aondohemba Kasa.

”The reprisal attack was what forced the youths of the community to take over the busy Makurdi-Gboko road for several hours yesterday thereby disrupting the free flow of traffic on the highway.

“They made bonfire on the highway and rebuffed appeals by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Mr. Takema Targema who visited the scene to plead with them to open up the highway, insisting that the herdsmen be compelled to release corpses of those they had earlier abducted and killed.”

It was further gathered that after much persuasion, the youths reopened the highway, after the corpse of the youth leader was recovered later in the afternoon by the Police.

Confirming the incident, the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Assistant Superintendent, ASP, Moses Yamu said the remains of the APC youth leader had been recovered by the Police.

“Normalcy has returned to the area and the road has also been reopened for use by motorists,” he said.
