Suspected drug trafficker excretes 58 wrap of cocaine

A suspected drug trafficker,Mrs. Sekinatu Adaba, has allegedly excreted 58 wraps of substance suspected to be cocaine. Abada, who allegedly excreted the substance under the close watch of officials of the National DrugLaw Enforcement Agency, was arrested at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Rivers State. The NDLEA Commander, PortHarcourt International Airport, Mr. Olutekunbi Davies, said the 54-year-old widow was arrested on May 23, 2012, as she was trying to board a Lufthansa Airline on her way to London via Frankfurt. Davies explained that Adaba was immediately taken to the Military Hospital where an X-ray scanner proved that she had ingested 839 grammes of cocaine. He said that 58 wraps of the substance were excreted by the suspected drug trafficker within three days of her arrest. Davies said, “On May 23, 2012, at about 8:30pm, a female drug suspect, Mrs. Adaba Onitemi Sekinatu ’54,’ was arrested while attempting to board a Lufthansa Airline on her way to London via Frankfurt. “She was taken to the Military Hospital in Port Harcourt where the X-ray scanner used on her proved positive for ingestion of substance suspected to be cocaine. She has since excreted 58 wraps weighing 839 grammes.” Davies explained that the X-ray scanning machine installed by the NDLEA at the Port Harcourt International Airport was removed as a result of the ongoing construction work at the airport. He, however, warned that the removal of the machine from the airport would not stop his men from spotting and arresting drug peddlers that wanted to usethe airport to smuggle hard drugs to other countries. Davies said that the machine would be installed after the completion of the ongoing renovation work atthe airport. He said the suspect would soon be prosecuted while the exhibits would be presented in court to demonstrate her culpability. Though the suspect refused to speak with journalists, an NDLEA official said Adaba claimed that this was her first time of dealing in the illicit business.
Adaba had told officials of the agency that she was lured into drug trafficking by a friend at a party in Lagos after she lost her husband.

Masquerade rapes an undergraduate nursing mother

.
Tension mounts in Opi, Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State as masquerades took turn in the series ofrape stories synonymous with the community. The alleged rape of a female student, Ngozika Ugwu, presented mixed feelings and reactions to what may have bedevilled the community in the recent past. Rape stories in Opi, a community in the university town of Nsukka, have occupied major national dailies, hitting banner headlines, from the three quarters that make up the community, Idi, Ogbozalla and Ibeku. In 2011, the story of the rape of women between 70 and 80 years spread like wild fire in the country, raising eyebrows onthe motive for such inhuman and barbaric act by, especially, youths of the community. Some of them were fingered and allegedly arrested, interrogated by the police but could not be persecuted because of want of evidence. The masquerade Following this development, Ada Enugu Women Organisation led by Mrs. Kate Ezeofor stormed the community for a church service at St. Charles Catholic Church parish, Opi to cleanse the land and the old women that were defiled. Few months later, Opi women took to the streets in protest of yet another rape at Ogbozalla–Opi. The protest attracted the quick intervention of the Chairman, Nsukka Local Government Council, Mr. Tony Ugwu who invited allthe stakeholders in the community to discuss the ugly development and proffer solutions. Though it was later discovered that the protest had political undertone, the council boss brokered peace to the satisfaction of all. Barely few months of enjoying peace inthe area, masquerades took turn in the series ofrape stories in the community by defiling a 28-year-old undergraduate nursing mother. The victim told Crime Alert in tears that the trauma of the rape will forever live with her but stated that she had forgiven the rapistsGET FULL DETAILS

Zuckerberg Falls Off Billionaires Index As FacebookPlummets

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg JUSTIN SULLIVAN/GETTY IMAGES The Facebook Inc co-founderand CEO, Mark Zuckerberg isno longer one of the world’s 40 richest people according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index . The 28-year-old’s Billionaire’s fortune fell to$14.7 billion on Tuesday from $16.2 billion on May 25, about $5billion loss since Facebook started trading on May 18 It will be recalled that Facebook shares has been floundering since the popularsocial-networking company went public, Facebook stock has dropped 9.6 percent to$28.84 according to Bloomberg making it the worst- performing large initial public offering in the past decade. According to Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of BMO Harris Private Bank in Chicago: “It seems to be a clear reflection that there was justtoo much stock issued, that the valuation was aggressive and that a lot of people who lined up to buy it really had no intention of holding it,” BMO Harris Private Bank oversees about $60 billion of assets. Wall Street analysts still believe that Facebook’s stock price will still continue to slide before it can stabilize — this implies that the self made billionaire’s personal fortune could diminish further.

How low will Zuckerberg's fortune go? Justin Sullivan/Getty Images No. 1 on the list still remains the Mexican telecom czar Carlos Slim Helu, (net worth$67.9 billion), No.2 on the listis Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates ($60.5 billion) and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet ($44.7 billion). Colombian businessman Luis Carlos Sarmiento surpassed Zuckerberg to make the Bloombergindex, a list that isupdated daily. Luis is worth$15.5 billion

Unilag renamed to...
photos of the unilag protests
this is the new update.

The University of Lagos has suspended academic activities for two weeks, following students’ protestsover the renaming of the institution as Moshood Abiola University. A member of the university’s Senate, who did not want to be named, confirmed to our correspondent that the decision was taken on Wednesday morning to prevent the protests from degenerating to outright violence. The decision was taken a few hours after UNILAG students blocked the Third Mainland Bridge for four hours, causing long lines oftraffic on the bridge and other roads linking the busy highway. The Senate member said the decision was taken to allow tempers cool and to give room for more consultations on the sensitive issue. The development comes amid ongoing activities for the burial of the institution’s late Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Babatunde Sofoluwe. He is expected to be buriedon Thursday in Lagos. A statement issued by the institution reads, “In view of the recent developments on our campuses, the Senate of the University has directed that all academic activities be suspended forthwith for twoweeks. “Accordingly, all students are to vacate the Halls of Residence, latest by 11.00 a.m. today, May 30, 2012. “The University security has been mandated to ensure compliance. “Meanwhile, the burial arrangements for the late Vice-Chancellor will go on as planned.” More details later.

Lagos reverses sacking of 34 doctors

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said his administration had reversed the sacking of 34 doctors out of the 788 dismissed recently. He urged the remaining doctors to end the logjam inthe health sector by emulating their colleagues and appealing to the Health Service Commission, since their reinstatement was stillpossible. Fashola explained that the doctors were recalled because of their appeal andpositive review of their cases. The governor spoke duringa panel discussion aired live on the state television station, LTV, to commemorate his 5th anniversary in office. He said he could not order the reversal of the sacking because it was not his own making. He explained that his powers as governor of the state did not give him power to sack or employ any doctor. Fashola pointed out that theHSC was the body saddled with the responsibility of determining the fate of the doctors. He said, “It is not in my power to reverse the sacking, just as I cannot determine their promotion. Itis the HMC that will promote them and since I won’t be here after three years, it isbetter to allow procedure totake its course. It is not about me, it is about institutions.” He however said he was still making efforts to ensure a final resolution of the crisis, adding that any doctor that appealed stood a good chance of being recalled. The governor denied that the government reneged onits agreement with the doctors, saying the state had made efforts to ensure that doctors were comfortable. He, however, noted that instead of incessant calls for increment by workers, the focus should be on solution to institutional imbalance and factors that weaken the currency. He said the state government was tackling some of the problems by initiating projects to promote welfare in agriculture; housing and inter modal transportation. The governor later inaugurated State Traffic Radio, 96.1 FM, as part of the celebration, saying that traffic information would ensure safe motoring in thestate and a healthy life for its citizens.
Fashola also inaugurated a new BRT route to cover Yaba-Oyingbo-Iddo, sayingit would provide sustainablemass transit services in thestate.

Aminu Tambuwal, decried non-assent of many bills passed by the National Assembly even as Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former scribe of the Commonwealth, warned elected office holders to put the 2015 elections on the back burners and concentrate on empowering the electorate economically. The trio and others spoke atthe Democracy Day national symposium held at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja. Chief Anyaoku chaired the event themed: “Our democracy: Progress and challenge”. President Jonathan who said Nigeria has cause to celebrate 13 years of stable democracy, noted that the worst democratic governmentwas better than a dictatorial government because “we have a tenure and democratic government givesa little more elastic for peopleto criticize government, that is why people believe that the worse democratic government is better than a dictatorial dispensation”. He said the non-cooperation of the executive and the legislature on the issue of government policies despite the fact that majority of the National Assembly members were from the same Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), leaves room for opposition tocontinue to gain ground. He noted that this division was responsible even for the diagreement between both arms of government in budget appropriation... Get the full story

PDP tackles Tinubu on salami

The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday said the words coming out of the leaders of the Action Congress of Nigeria on the issue of the reinstatement of the suspended Presidentof the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Salami indicated that the party had a “veiledvested interest”. The PDP specifically said the comments made by ACN’s national leader and aformer Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, where he described Salami as a victim of conspiracy, was as an attack on President Goodluck Jonathan and the ruling party. Tinubu had in a statement signed by his spokesperson, Mr. Sunday Dare, on Sunday, said Salami was in trouble because he served his conscience. But the PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said, “For Tinubu todescribe as a coup on the rule of law, the engagementof due process in the resolution of Justice Salami’s re-instatement, sketches a graphic effigy ofa hypocrite in a desperate agenda to re-shape facts.”

Fashola pitypoor lagosians

The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, a respected seniormember of the bar, a noble profession akin to medicine and priesthood, has recently demonstrated to the whole world how not to deal with professionals involved in providing holistic care for the weak and the vulnerable in the society. The recent mass dismissal of 788 junior and senior doctors in the healthservices of Lagos State shows an inherent utter contempt for the medical profession and its practitioners. With this move, those whomthe Governor sacked in a draconian fashion, even unheard of during the notorious regime of Gen. Sani Abacha include medical officers in General Hospitals; workers at the Lagos State Teaching Hospital including some consultants, registrars and senior registrars in variousspecialties such as Internal Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology amongst others. They have acquiredsufficient skills and experience during their several years of training and service. As a member of the NigerianMedical Association, the incessant strikes in the health sector and by extension, our ivory towers, are a serious cause of concern to me, as it is to all Nigerians. The cost of each industrial action, be it in any form, is monumental. Many lives are lost and the economy within those health institutions and their environs is virtually paralysed. In such situations, nobody is happy.Our certificates are earned to save lives and put smiles on the faces of afflicted and their relations. I strongly believe strike should be the very last option, only employed when all other veritable means ofconflict resolution have been explored and failed. Inthe case at hand, what manner of responsible and responsive government in a democracy will send the Rapid Response Squad into hospital premises to disrupta peaceful congress being held by the doctors?

Conductor arraigned for stabbing LASTMA official

A conductor of a commercial bus identified simply as Ibrahim has been arraigned in a Lagos court for allegedly stabbing an officialof the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Akingbohungbe Olalekan, in the hand. It was alleged that the driver of a Volkswagen vanagon with number plate LAGOS XB 990 AAA, on Wednesday around 3.10pm was obstructing the free flow of traffic by picking andallowing passengers to alight from his bus at an unauthorised place in Ojota area of the state. He was apprehended by Olalekan and another LASTMA official, Alabi Emmanuel, who attempted to impound his vehicle. PUNCH Metro learnt that Ibrahim and the driver descended on the officials, beat them up and tore their uniforms. It was learnt that Ibrahim later stripped himself nakedand stood in front of the bus. Our correspondent gathered that a team of policemen and traffic enforcement agents later arrived at the scene. But the driver reportedly fled while the 28-year-old conductor was arrested andarraigned at a special offences tribunal in Alausa on Wednesday. At the tribunal, Ibrahim was charged with breach of public peace, obstructing state officers from carrying out their lawful duty, assault and traffic violation by picking passengers in places that were not bus stops. When his plea was taken, he pleaded not guilty to all the charges. Magistrate Yetunde Phineroadmitted the accused to bailin the sum of N50,000 and two sureties in the like sum.She adjourned the case till June 21, 2012. But the accused was remanded as he could not meet the bail condition. Meanwhile, the General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Babatunde Edu, on Friday warned that the agency would prosecute traffic offenders, especially the violent ones.
Edu , who said prosecuting traffic offenders would serve as a deterrent to errant motorists, said the warning became imperative in view of the rising cases of attacks on LASTMA officials in recent times. He said, “LASTMA officials have been trained to be civil in their approach and we do not tolerate act of indiscipline among our officials. But a situation where they are attacked while performing their official duties by errant drivers would no longer be condoned. “The law is no respecter ofanybody and it is necessary that motorists obey traffic rules and regulations to ensure sanity on our roads. “Rather than take the laws into their hands, we imploremotorists to report errant LASTMA officials and we assure them that we will carry out a thorough investigation and act accordingly. We do not condone any act of indiscipline among our officials and we do not cover them up if they erred.

Nigerian student arrested for raping a manipuri girl in bangalore

After reading this article at one of my best source Ynaija, i decided to articulate it here

There is no cornerof the earth that you won’t find Nigerians. From thewilds of rural NorthDakota USA, to the humid climes of south-east Asia, Nigerians are scattered around the globe, seeking commerce, education, etcetera. There is no doubt that Nigeria has a rich and robust diaspora. In Bangalore, a citylocated in the South of India, 31-year-old PrinceJohn was arrested and charged with rape of a girl from Manipur (a state in north-eastern India on the borderwith Myanmar). From India Today : “The accused raped the victim on May 13 in Bangalore. He had threatened her with dire consequences if she went to the police. Later, thevictim fled to Mumbai and lodged a complaint with the police there. The case was transferred to us and we arrested Prince John,” said Bangalore rural superintendent of police D. Prakash. According to the police, Prince John, who is in Bangalore on a student visit, befriended the victim’s aunt a few months ago. On May 13, the victim and her aunt visited Prince John at his residence. “Subsequently, he told his girlfriend (victim’s aunt) that he would take her (victim) for an introduction to a friend, who would help her solve a personalcrisis. He took the unsuspectingvictim to a housewhere he raped and threatened her,” the police added. The victim is now undergoing treatment at a hospital in Mumbai. The incident hascaused unrest among the NorthEast student community. In April, the death of Manipuri student Richard Loitham and the shoddy investigation by the police in the case had led to a countrywide uproar. The school has a large international community, and international students have been arrested before. However, the students complain about been unfairly harassed by law enforcement in the city.
This is not the first time that African students have been nabbed for crime-related activities. Earlierthis year, two African students were arrested for fighting in public glare overa girl; another six African students, under the influence of alcohol, had attacked the traffic police. In Bangalore, nearly 2,000 students from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameron, and Sudan are studying in various colleges, according to Union of African Communities of Bangalore. Some of them allege harassment by the police for trivial reasons. “Now, managing both, students from North East and Africa, has become a sensitive issue. But we will allow law to take its own course,” the police added

According to a police source, who pleaded anonymity, the team of police officers led bythe Commander of (IGP) Special Task Force on Heinous Crimes, Zone C, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) immediately mobilised to the scene wherethey laid ambush and killed the robbers. “The policemen had gone there at around 8.30p.m following a tip off that the dare devil armed robbery gang was planning to launch a bloody attack on a man who usually comes to Omelumgbome junction wherehe pays the labourers who dig ground and lay pipe for one telecommunications network. They parked their vehicle a pole away from the bush and trekked to where they laid ambush for the robbers until they arrived,” the source said. The source further disclosedthat on sensing danger, the robbers opened fire and the police responded equally which eventually led to a gunduel between the robbers leading to the death of four suspects.
He also disclosed that duringthe gun duel, the leader of the robbery gang fled with a Mercedes Benz 190. It was also gathered that oneof the robbery suspects, Chinedu Okoye from Aguleri in Anambra State, who had been on the wanted list of the police confessed before he died that it was his gang that killed the Officer In-Charge of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, (SARS), (CPS), Onitsha, (DSP) Emmanuel Ochiobi, on Mondaythis week.

FCT, Oyo NMA call for reinstatement of sacked doctors

.

Medical doctors in the Federal Capital Territory and Oyo State have called for the immediate reinstatement of the 788 doctors sacked by the Lagos State Government. The doctors, acting under the aegis of the Nigeria Medical Association, in two separate meetings with journalists in Abuja and Ibadan on Friday, requested the Babatunde Fashola Administration to implement the agreement reached with the Medical Guild on March 24, 2011. The chairman of the FCT branch of the NMA, Dr. Nicholas Baamlong, faulted what he described as the ‘graveyard silence’ of the Lagos State House of Assembly on the issue. Baamlong said, “The Lagos State Government should unconditionally recall and reinstate all sacked doctorswithin the shortest possibletime. “The government should implement the agreement reached with Medical Guild without any disadvantage or loss of level or grade to any doctor.” While Baamlong urged the Presidency, the National Assembly and the Ministry of Health, as well as the Ministry of Labour to intervene in the matter so as to avoid a breakdown ofhealth services in the country, his colleagues in Oyo threatened to embark on a solidarity strike if the sacked Lagos doctors were not recalled. The chairman of the Oyo branch of the NMA, Prof. Millicent Obajimi, who was represented by the vice-chairman of the association, Dr. Muideen Olatunji, described the action of the Lagos State Government as hasty, cruel, insensitive and thoughtless.
Obajimi said, “The entire membership of the NMA in Oyo State hereby decry this rape on democracy in LagosState and totally condemn this action of the Lagos State Government in its entirety.” The Lagos doctors were reportedly sacked for protesting against the refusal of the state government to grant their request for improved remuneration and welfare.

Report; Nigeria is the worst place to be a Mother, Nigeria ranked 123rd.

No it’s not Afghanistan; a newstudy shows that Niger is the worst place in the world to be a mother. This is principally due to hunger, according to an annual report by Save the Children. In contrast, Norway is the bestaccording to the group’s “Best and Worst Places to Bea Mom” ranking which compares 165 countries in terms of maternal health, education, economic status and children’s health and nutrition. This year, the study focuses on nutrition particularly from the time a woman gets pregnant untilthe child is two, and findings revealed that millions more children survive, but suffer lifelong physical and cognitive impairments because they did not get the nutrients they needed early in their lives when their growing bodies and minds were most vulnerable. After Niger, the next worst countries were listed as Afghanistan — which held the lowest spot for twoyears — Yemen, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Eritrea, Chad,Sudan, South Sudan and the Democratic Republicof Congo. 7 countries listed at the bottom of Save the Children’s annual index are in the midst of a food crisis. According to the report, Niger iscurrently in the grip of a worseninghunger situation, threatening the lives of a million children. Nigeria ranks 123rd on the list, and is at the bottom of the ‘Tier II: Less Developed Countries’. The third tier is the for the least developed countries in the world. The top countries after Norway were Iceland, Sweden, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Australia, Belgium, Ireland, The Netherlands and Britain. The group urged all governments to make the fight against malnutritiona priority.

Another Bomb Explosion averted in Kano.

PANDEMONIUM occurred at Kingsgarden, an area very close to Sabo/gari in Kano onSaturday when people ran helter skelter for safety when a bomb planted in a gutter was uncovered by some people. The incident occurred between 7.00 and 7.30 p.m. when many people were returning home after the day’s work. According to a source who preferred anonymity, “it wasjust divine intervention that the bomb planted was discovered before it was detonated. If not, a lot of damage could have been done as many people were very close to the scene.” He hinted that the moment the bomb was uncovered by a good Samaritan, security operatives were informed. He also added that the anti-bomb squad later arrived the scene of the incident to detonate the bomb. While confirming the incident,the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Magaji Majiya, said it was true that the bomb was uncovered at Kngsgarden. Majiya, an ASP, then stated that the anti-bomb squad had been drafted to the scene, while the entire area had been cordoned off to avert any ugly occurrence. He added that the planted bomb had been defused, no life was lost, nobody sustained any injury and that nobody had been arrested yet.

Arsene Wenger "FRIGHTENS" about Gunners Popularity in Nigeria.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed the club’s popularity in African countries “frightens” him and admitted the scheduled pre-season tour to Nigeria is not for sporting reasons. The Gunners have regularly travelled to the Far East in recent tours but will also visit Africa for the first time ahead of next season. Wenger said that the Gunners have had to forfeitsome of their pre-season training plans at their London base in order to fulfil their commerical responsibilities. “We have had to compromise on the sporting side, because we had a rational, methodical approach to our pre-season,” the Frenchman told reporters on Friday. “We have sacrificed some of that to go on tour. “But we are in a race with the other clubs as well. I realised when I was at the World Cup in South Africa how popular a club like Arsenal is in Africa, especially in Nigeria. It is unbelievable. “I was even frightened at some stage by how popular Arsenal is. In Kenya as well,it is absolutely unbelievable.” The Gunners coach also confessed that in a summer with a major international tournament — in this case, Euro 2012 — an extended tour creates further problems. “A tour has advantages and disadvantages, let’s behonest,” he added. “The advantage, of course,is to get in touch with your fan base in Asia — when you travel out there you realise how big the Premier League is and how big your club is over there. “We are looking forward to doing it again, but unfortunately in the European Championship years or the World Cup years, on the purely sportsside you suffer a bit more because your players havejust come back and have totravel again, so the preparation time will be short for them.
“But on purely fan-base it is very exciting.” Arsenal’s chief commercial officer Tom Fox acknowledged that the travelling was inconvenient,but stressed his belief that the club can benefit hugely. “We do not take these decisions lightly at all,” the American said. “We understand from a training perspective it is not ideal, and the pressure we feel that when we do something as disruptive as taking Arsene’s preparationon the road, we need to make sure we get the most out of that. “We feel that responsibility acutely within this club. We are not just flying people around because we think there may be opportunities. “We have tried to be very purposeful about it becausewe completely understand itis a very disruptive thing to do. “So we are going to do everything we can to make sure we get everything we can from these visits and games.”
