Robbers kill Poly student, beat father to coma

Tragedy struck in Ado Ekiti, capital of Ekiti State on Monday when a 12-man gang of robbers attacked residents of Olorunda, a satellite town in the city, killing a student of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, Temitope Ogunleye.

The National Diploma II Accountancy student was shot at his father’s house on 14, Olorunda, Zone 4 area of Ado Local Government Area.

The bandits also inflicted machete wound on the victim’s father, Mr. Ogunleye, a Principal of Idu High School, Erio-Ekiti.

Commissioner of Police in the state, Taiwo Lakanu, and top members of the Command were said to have visited the bereaved, assuring residents that the area would be secured.

Recounting how the operation that lasted for about 45 minutes happened, Temitope’s younger sister, Yetunde, a student of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State, said the robbers, numbering about 12, besieged their residence at about 1:30am on Monday and started shooting sporadically.

She said the robbers had earlier robbed a house opposite their building owned by a widow and retiree.

“We had earlier heard the noise coming from the next building which sent a signal to us that robbers were in the area. But later they came to our house peeping through the windows and threatening that we should open the door or face the dire consequences.

“They said they were not in our house for tea party. They broke the windows and lit the living room with their torches and started shooting sporadically into the inner side of the bungalow when we didn’t open the door on time. It was at this time that I ran inside to inform our father who instructed us to shout.

“But as we were shouting, Temitope was already shot in the stomach and was in the pool of his blood. At this stage, the robbers had already entered the living room and started beating our mummy and everybody.

In fact, when they sighted daddy, they beat him mercilessly,

Edo alleges plot to cause pre-election violence

Ahead of the general elections, the Edo State Government has raised the alarm of an alleged “evil plot” by anti-democratic forces to “unleash terror” on citizens of the state.

The Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Louis Odion, in a statement made available to journalists in Benin on Thursday evening, said the state government learnt that the perpetrators are planning to forment violence by way of high-profile killings to intimidate the All Progressives Congress, prior to the March 28 and April 11 polls.‎

“The objective, we gathered, is not only to sow fear in the minds of the teeming supporters of All Progressives Congress but also make the state ungovernable for Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

“The new evil agenda is akin to the one unleashed in 2012 ahead of the governorship election in which the Principal Private Secretary to the Comrade Governor, Comrade Olaitan Oyerinde, was brutally murdered. Till date, the killers are yet to be brought to justice,” It read.

Odion also alleged that those targeted were key figures in the Governor Adams Oshiomhole administration, “APC leaders, a vocal palace chief as well as journalists considered too independent-minded and unwilling to file fabricated stories to promote PDP.”

He, however, urged the citizens‎ to remain calm and law abiding, adding that the state government had directed security agencies in the state to carry out investigations and “bring all those involved to book.

The Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, has said that troops of the Nigerian Army and personnel of the Air Force have killed over 300 fighters of the Boko Haram sect.

Olukolade said in a statement on Wednesday that the insurgents were killed during a combined operation of the Air Force and ground forces put in place to liberate 11 communities captured by the Boko Haram sect.

According to him, the communities liberated by the troops are Monguno, Gabchari, Abba Jabari, Gajigana, Gajiram, Damakar, Kumaliwa, Bosso Wanti, Jeram and Kabrisungul.

He said that troops had commenced a cordon and search operation in the areas involved in the latest operation.

He stated further that some of the terrorists and their weapons were captured by the troops.

Olukolade also said that the military captured “five different types of armoured fighting vehicles, an anti-aircraft gun, about 50 cases of packed bombs and eight different types of machine guns, five rocket-propelled grenade, 49 boxes of various types and calibres of ammunition, as well as 300 motorcycles destroyed in the fighting.

He added that “a total of six Hilux vehicles including those mounted with anti-aircraft guns were also destroyed.’

The Defence spokesman said that two soldiers lost their lives while ten others were wounded in the encounter with the terrorists.

Olukolade said that various phases of highly coordinated combined operation involving the Air Force and ground forces were ongoing in the mission area within and outside the country.

Meanwhile, about 30 civilians were killed when an unidentified airplane dropped a bomb on a Nigerian border village, military sources based nearby in Niger said on Wednesday.

“We don’t know whose plane it was. We understand that the victims are residents who were gathered for a ceremony but who were mistaken for terrorists,” said a military source based in the town of Bosso in Niger.

He added, “Around 30 people perished.”

Apc - Sheriff behind violence during Buhari’s visit to Borno

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Borno State has alleged that the violence witnessed Monday when the presidential candidate of the party, Muhammadu Buhari, visited the state was instigated by ex-Governor Ali Sheriff to justify the cancellation of elections in the state.

Initial reports suggested that supporters of the APC had vandalized and torched several campaign offices and posters of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party​, PDP.

The reports also said while soldiers were battling to control the large crowd at the venue of the campaign rally, some irate youth were seen bringing down PDP billboards that were mounted close to the venue of the rally.

Hours later, thick smoke was seen some 500 meters way from the venue of the rally as the APC youth stormed a major campaign office of the PDP, popularly known as UTC.

Witnesses at the scene said hundreds of the APC supporters, chanting anti-PDP and anti-President Goodluck Jonathan slogans, stormed the PDP office armed with petrol jars, forced themselves into the premises and set the place ablaze.

The APC however, issued a statement Tuesday, distancing their members from the act.

The statement by Ali Dalori, the Borno State chairman of the APC said the party has conducted its own investigation into the attack and had found out that Mr. Sheriff held series of meetings with thugs loyal to him, days ahead of the APC rally.

The party said Mr. Sheriff also doled out huge sums of money to the thugs and asked them to disguise as APC supporters and attack his and his PDP’s properties.

The statement also said Mr. Sheriff’s spokesperson, Inuwa Bwala, swiftly rushed to the media accusing Governor Shettima of being behind the attacks, while it was being carried out.

“The manner in which Bwala rushed to press has further confirmed the findings of our investigations that the whole thing was orchestrated by the PDP affiliated to former Governor Ali Modu Sheriff with the sole intent of causing political violence in so as to create basis for elections not to be conducted in Borno State by March 28 and April 11, 2015,” APC said.

The party also said Mr. Sheriff was determined to cause violence and stop election in Borno so as to pave the way for him to regain the Senatorial candidature he lost earlier.

The party also recalled that on the eve of President Goodluck Jonathan’s trip to Borno for his campaign rally on January 24, Governor Shettima issued a statement appealing to citizens of the state to respect the president and not to do anything that would undermine his campaign rally.

It also said the governor held series of meetings with select youth groups and APC youth leaders in all the wards in Maiduguri, the state capital calling on the party’s supporters not to breach the peace.

“Indeed, Governor Shettima’s efforts paid off as the PDP held an entirely peaceful rally on January 24, 2015,” it said.

It added that Mr. Shettima could therefore not organize violence while his own party was holding its rally.

Sheriff is responsible

The APC said ex-Governor Sheriff arrived Maiduguri last Friday at about 7p.m. while the APC was making preparations to receive Mr. Buhari.

“For nearly three days, Sheriff kept on holding meetings with different youth supporters of the PDP who brandished all manner of weapons every day they were his guests.

“Sheriff kept on sharing money to these thugs before he left the State on Sunday, February 15, 2015 at about 4:10pm.

“Immediately Sheriff left Maiduguri, we suspected he was up to some mischief and from our investigations, his discussion with most of his political thugs was for them to disguise as supporters of APC and seriously disrupt Buhari’s rally to the extent that confusion would spring up such that Buhari would be forced not to appear at the rally,” the party said.

The party also added that beyond the task given to them to disrupt APC’s rally, some of the thugs were equally angered by the inability of their leaders to pay them in full.

“As things turned out, Sheriff’s aggrieved thugs went out of control and descended on the PDP campaign office soon after they started fighting themselves,” it said.

APC said it stands to lose if there is political crisis in Borno that threatens the forthcoming elections considering the unfortunate security challenges being faced.

“As things stand in Borno today, the APC is the number one beneficiary of the current political climate and wouldn’t want any breach of the peace, how much more inciting it. Sheriff on the other hand has been doing everything to cause confusion,” it said.

The party maintained that Mr. Sheriff is very desperate, and doesn’t want elections to hold because he is not a Senatorial candidate, the major reason it said, he moved to the PDP.

It said he nurses the ambition of emerging as Senate majority leader after 2015 if he can’t be the Senate President.

Mr. Sheriff could not be reached for comments Wednesday.

Man Ejaculates On Woman While Masturbating During A Festival (PHOTOS)

 A disgusted woman has filed a report to the police about a man who ejaculated on her while he masturbated at a festival and subsequently got lost in the surging crowd.

The 20-year-old victim said she stood near the main stage watching a a hip hop group presentation at the St Kilda Festival in Australia on Sunday, February 8, 2015 when the incident happened.

She said, “Everybody was touching each other but I noticed this guy was a bit too close to me and I tried to manoeuvre away.

“It made me feel uncomfortable, I’m pretty angry towards men. I feel violated but I’m lucky it wasn’t worse.’

Detectives from Victoria Police are now investigating the incident and on the trail to track down the pervert, according to NT News.

Senior Detective, Carin Wood said, “She was watching the band and felt a warm sensation on her back and turned around to see him doing up his fly.

“There were thousands of people around. It’s obviously concerning behaviour for the police. Surely someone has seen something or know who this person is.

“To have the courage to do that and to want to do that is obviously disturbing.’

He is described as being Indian in appearance and aged between 18-30, with a dark brown complexion, average build, short black hair and brown eyes with acne scars on his cheeks.

Detectives also wish to speak to a woman who held the victim’s wallet for her while she changed her clothes.

Synagogue: Court awards N25, 000 against T.B. Joshua

A Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja has awarded a N25, 000 fine against the Founder, Synagogue Church Of All Nations, Prophet T.B. Joshua, for “deliberately stalling hearing” in a suit he filed against a Lagos coroner, Magistrate O.A. Komolafe.

Justice Lateefa Okunnu, while awarding the cost on Tuesday, berated the prophet for “wasting the time of the court and tax payers’ money.”

She expressed displeasure that the matter, which was filed in December last year, had been bogged down with several adjournments at the instance of Joshua.

Okunnu’s order followed the announcement by Joshua’s lawyer, Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), that his client had filed two fresh applications before the court in relation to the case.

“We filed two processes yesterday. One is a motion and the other one is the applicant’s consolidated reply on points of law,” Fagbemi said.

Responding, however, counsel for the Lagos State Government, Mr. Karmardeen Bakare, said he had only just been served with the said processes in court on Tuesday morning.

The state counsel said it would be impossible for him to go on with the case in the circumstance as he needed time to look at the fresh applications and reply appropriately.

He therefore urged the court for an adjournment.

But Okunnu frowned on the development, as she said it was clear that the day’s proceeding had been hampered by Joshua’s fresh applications.

While reluctantly conceding to the prayer for an adjournment till February 20, Okunnu, however, awarded a N25,000 cost against Joshua.

The judge said the order must be complied with before the next adjourned date, while Joshua was to file an affidavit of compliance as evidence.

The prophet had approached Okunnu asking for a judicial review of the coroner’s inquest into the death of about 116 persons in the SCOAN’s September 12, 2014 building collapse.

The coroner’s inquest, which commenced on October 13, last year had the mandate to determine the cause of death of the victims, most of who were South African nationals.

But Joshua, in his application before Okunnu, asked the judge to determine whether the witness summons served on him to appear personally before the coroner was not a breach of his right to fair hearing.

He had also argued, through his lawyer, Fagbemi, that the coroner had been extending the inquest into areas outside his jurisdiction.

According to Fagbemi, the duty of the coroner was limited to determining the cause of death of the victims. Fagbemi said the coroner had no legal backing to look into the possible factors responsible for the collapse of the six-storey guest house wherein the victims lost their lives.

He therefore asked the court to declare as null and void such portion of the coroner’s inquest conducted in excess of jurisdiction, in addition to an order restraining the coroner from further acting in excess of his power.

APC youth vandalise, torch PDP campaign office as Buhari visits Maiduguri

Supporters of the ​All Progressives Congress​, APC,​ ​in Borno ​S​tate, ​vandalised and torched several campaign offices and posters of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party​, PDP, Monday, during the party’s presidential campaign rally in Borno.
The APC supporters, who took to the streets of Maiduguri in their thousands, chanted pro- Muhammadu Buhari campaign slogans while carrying an effigy of the PDP.
While soldiers were battling to control the mammoth crowd at the venue of the campaign rally, some of the irate youth were seen bringing down PDP billboards that were mounted close to the venue of the rally.
Hours later, thick smoke was seen some 500 meters way from the venue of the rally as the APC youth stormed a major campaign office of the PDP, popularly known as UTC.
Witnesses at the scene said hundreds of the APC supporters, chanting anti-PDP and anti-President Goodluck Jonathan slogans, stormed the PDP office armed with petrol jars, forced themselves into the premises and set the place ablaze.
All efforts by police officers stationed at the UTC to prevent the youth failed as they were overwhelmed by the mob.
A police officer who spoke to journalists in front of the burnt office said, “We tried everything in our powers as permitted of us during riots to stop them, but the young men came in their hundreds and our men had to retreat because we do not intend to use excess force to stop them. It was really very sad.”
Reacting to the attack in a written statement, Inuwa Bwala, the spokesperson, campaign committee of the Borno
​S​tate PDP governorship ‎ candidate, Muhammad Imam, said the act was highly condemnable and unprovoked.
“The Muhammed Imam governorship Campaign Organisation condemns the unprovoked attack on PDP supporters and property in Maiduguri by APC hoodlums,” Mr. Bwala said. “We equally condemn the attack on ​m​ilitary personnel by hired thugs, ostensibly acting out the script of the Borno ​S​tate government. We commiserate with the victims of the attack and caution the Borno state Governor, Kashim Shettima, who seems to take delight in causing mischief anytime the PDP plans its programmes within the state.
“While we call on all supporters of Muhammad Imam to remain calm and lawful in the face of such unprovoked attacks, we wish to assure our citizens that no act of desperation nor violence can alter the will of God. ‎We remain focused on the mission of rescuing Borno from the clutches of an inept and corrupt leadership.
“We leave it to the security agencies to investigate the Maiduguri mayhem perpetrated in the name of hosting a presidential candidate. One wonders how the same Buhari visited Baylesa in peace but Shettima has turned Borno into a vortex of violence and political nihilism.
