Nnamdi’s Lawyer,Mr.Egechukwu Obetta,who spoke to Vanguard in his Enugu office Saturday,said,”we have fulfilled his bail conditions.
Although the bail conditions were stringent which required the Certificate of Occupancy of a landed property within Abuja municipality, a level 16 officer in the Ministry, which we eventually met in full.
“The documents of the landed property was transmitted to the DSS prosecuting counsel by the court clerk. On Friday, we expected that the DSS would have verified the authenticity of the landed property documents. As a matter of practice,the verification does not last beyond 24 hours. As at Friday, DSS did not transmit the verification to the court.
“On that same Friday,we brought the situation to the court’s attention upon which the court issued Form 36(FCT) ordering the DSS to produce the prisoner(Nnamdi). The Form 36 was issued by Justice Ahmed Usman Shuaibu dated October 23 ordering DSS to produce the prisoner.
“Upon the issuance of this Form 36,the court ordeal went to execute the order but came back unsuccessful. He was unable to produce the prisoner. The DSS latter granted me access to my client who is hale and hearty. He is in good spirit. His condition is very good and has also been granted access to his medical doctor.
“He(Nnamdi) has instructed me to enjoin his followers to remain calm and be law abiding citizens. The DSS instead of obeying court order to remand my client in prison custody,choose to remand him in their detention facility inorder to stall Form 36 ordering them to produce my client”.

Iraqi Shiite men cut their scalps with machetes during the Ashura religious ritual in Najaf. Every year, Shittes all over the world take part in these bloody self-flagellation ceremonies to mark the tenth day of the Islamic calendar and to mourn the death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam Husayn, at the Battle of Karbala. Sunni Muslims celebrate it the date - which they refer to as the Day of Atonement - as the day Israelites were freed from the Pharaoh of Egypt. Some Muslims commemorate the day by carrying out brutal acts of self-flagellation, others slap their chests and chant, and some take part in 'street plays'. Many people also choose to make a pilgrimage to the Mashhad al-Husyn in Iraq, which is thought to be the resting place of Imam Husayn.More pics after the cut...

Vice president of Maldives arrested over assasination attempt on their president

Vice president of Maldives arrested over assasination attempt on their president

By Unknown   07:39   No comments:

Maldivian authorities on Saturday arrested the nation's Vice President Ahmed Adeeb over an alleged plot to assassinate President Abdulla Yameen, who escaped death after his boat was hit by a bomb last month, the home minister said.

"VP Adheeb under arrest and held in Dhoonidhoo Detention (prison Island)," Umar Naseer said on Twitter, using a different spelling of the vice president's name. "Charges: high treason."

33 year old Vice President Adeeb, was arrested at the Maldives' main international airport at around noon local time on Saturday as he returned home from Singapore.
Maldivian police confirmed his detention was linked to the investigation into the September 28 blast aboard Yameen's speed boat. 

"Vice president Ahmed Adeeb has been arrested under a court warrant for the investigation into the explosion aboard the presidential speedboat," Maldivian police said on Twitter and an official website.

Yameen appointed Adeeb as his deputy three months ago after impeaching his original running mate Mohamed Jameel on charges of treason.


The attack on the president's speedboat occurred as he was about to disembark at the capital island Male after returning from a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. The Maldivian leader was unhurt in the blast but his wife and two others suffered minor injuries.

Hours before the arrest on Saturday, the president sacked his police chief Hussain Waheed, the latest in a series of firings seen by some as a purge of individuals whose loyalties may be in doubt.

Defence minister Moosa Ali Jaleel was sacked 11 days ago, while on Thursday Yameen also fired his main government spokesman Mohamed Shareef, a minister in his government.

Shareef, who flew to nearby Sri Lanka soon after the September 28 blast, said the explosion may have been a mechanical issue, but the authorities later declared it to be an assassination attempt. Maldivian authorities have also arrested two security personnel who had access to Yameen's boat but have yet to disclose what caused the explosion.

The Maldives has seen its image as a peaceful holiday destination for well heeled honeymooners dented by political turmoil since the toppling of the country's first democratically elected leader Mohamed Nasheed in February 2012.

Yameen, who came to power following a highly controversial election, jailed Nasheed for 13 years in March and faces international censure over his crackdown on dissent.

A UN panel last month asked him to free Nasheed and pay him compensation for his wrongful incarceration, a demand rejected by Yameen.

The Nigerian troops of 5 Brigade Nigerian Army have destroyed all Boko Haram camps and enclaves at the border towns of Kerenowa and Chikun Gudu as well as their contiguous villages in Borno State.

A statement by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Acting Director, Army Public Relations says that during the operation which is ongoing, troops discovered and destroyed over 20 well fortified terrorist camps in the general area of Kerenowa.

The camps includes some at the gateway to Kerenoa, Gumada and Dogon Gida.

In addition, the troops also discovered that to evade aerial reconnaissance and bombardment, the terrorists have dug twin tunnels to conceal their facilities and routes in and out of the camp. Among facilities discovered were training areas equipped with instructional and training materials that include wooden guns, amongst others.

The troops have also cleared Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) along the road linking Marte, New Marte and Kerenowa.

The statement adds that Boko Haram terrorists now lack the will to fight as they are in obvious disarray, abandoning their camps fleeing and leaving behind vehicles, solar panels used to power devices, food and other logistics, beddings, various IED making devices, cables and cords.

The military says morale of the troops remains very high and they exude confidence and zeal to destroy all known Boko Haram camps along their axis of advance.  Nigerians have also  been urged to kindly provide useful and credible information to the military about any known terrorist or sympathisers.
