Girl Abducted 27 Months Ago By Boko Haram Escaped And Says Abubakar Shekau Might Be Father Of Her Baby

A girl abducted 27 months ago by Boko Haram members is back and afraid that the sect leader Abubakar Shekau might be father of her baby.

Abubakar Shekau

The girl, who was abducted at the age of 17 after the insurgents had killed her parents, managed to escape this year after having been held in captivity for almost 2 years and a half.

It is reported that she is having a baby from Shekau. According to the girl, she could hear screams of girls raped by the sect members and see them being tortured for refusal to change their faith.

The escaped victim narrated her story describing Shekau and conditions in which the kidnap victims are held.

"He seems to be panicking all the time and issuing instructions. He is a softly spoken man – it is almost as if he whispers, if you are meeting him for the first time, you would never be scared of him. But I soon learned that after every whisper something dangerous would happen somewhere in Nigeria.

"He once asked me if I was willing to fight for the cause, to which I answered no, he told me I could be a fighter and a domestic slave. I didn't want to speak to him in case what I said offended him. All it would take was one wrong word and he would have had me killed. I thought he was drinking or taking something whenever he came, one could notice maybe he lost men or something was not right.

It is reported that "Abu" has many children, all from different women. She lamented the abductees had to travel a lot, which was hard for her "with a baby strapped to my back".

Some girls were forced to carry guns and bombs and one - even a rocket-propelled grenade launcher on her shoulder.

The lady was badly shot in the leg, when the Nigerian army stormed the Boko Haram camp, but she managed to escape.

Upon returning home, she was treated in Maiduguri, however not warmly accepted by the remaining family, the girl confessed:

"My uncle will not have me because he is ashamed of my child whose paternity is not only questionable but is dangerous if it is Shekau."

Now the girl, who lost almost all of her relatives, dreams about finishing her secondary education but doesn't know how to overcome the huge gap.

 She was quoted saying: "I know I am intelligent and willing to learn, but where do I start from?"

FIFA World Cup 2014: Child Prostitutes Flood The Streets Of Brazil To Cash-In On Fans

Children as young as 10 are being forced to sell themselves for sex on the streets of Brazil to cash in on the waves of ­football fans heading to the World Cup. On the contrary, a certain woman said, "it's a lucrative business and my girls are happy with it"

Investigations reveals how kids living in shocking squalor and high on crack cocaine are exploited by drug dealers and pimps. And as 600,000 foreign fans ­including Brits flood into Brazil this week, the youngsters’ plight will get worse.

Thousands of ­desperate kids…

TOUT for sex for as little as £1.30 after pimps order them to wear clothes and make-up to look older.

PLY their sordid trade within yards of hotels where British fans will stay.

SNIFF from bottles of industrial glue to stop the pangs of hunger.

FEAR for their lives after a 14-year-old prostitute was murdered and her body dumped in the street last month by a man who refused to pay for sex.

This shocking trade of young girls and boys on street corners goes on under the noses of police in the world’s seventh wealthiest economy.


Glue kids: They inhale glue – nicknamed ‘cola’

As soon as you arrive at the airport, the taxi drivers waiting to pick you up offer to take you to places to buy drugs or sex. Children sit around in city centre squares where fans will gather. Many had attempted to make themselves look older with clothes and make-up.

Accompanied by a translator and a missionary who works with children on the streets, I spoke to three very young girls, one of whom was clearly not well because of the drugs she was taking and glue she was sniffing.

Lorrisa is only 13 and her frame so tiny that I am sure her growth had been stunted by drugs. She sniffed from a plastic bottle containing strong industrial glue, which they ­nickname “cola”, as she explained how she lives.

Lorrisa said that: “Sniffing the glue makes me feel dizzy and numb and it stops me feeling hungry so I don’t need to eat.

“It helps me cope with the ­violence and danger on the streets.” Lorrisa’s friend Raphaela, 13, reveals how she gets approached by scores of men looking for sex – locals, tourists and taxi ­drivers.

Prostitute: Raphaela, 13 said they will pay 10 Brazilian real, the equivalent of £2.60.

A Sikh Woman Blinded By Her Father-In-Law Who Suspected Her Of Cheating

A Sikh woman has been rendered blind after being attacked by her father-in-law because he thought she was having an affair with a Muslim man.

Jageer Mirgind was left blind and scarred for life after 51-year-old Manjit Mirgind slashed her wrists and stabbed her in the eyes screaming ‘I am going to kill you’.

Mrs Mirgind’s children, just three and six years old, watched the horrific attack at their mother’s home in Kensington Gardens, Ilford, East London, and pleaded with their grandfather to stop.
The crazed attacker wrongly believed his daughter-in-law was ‘sleeping with a Paki’ and that she had ‘ruined his family’.

Tragically, Mirgind misunderstood the situation when his daughter was the victim of a series of prank calls.
According to Dailymail ,After punching her in the face he dragged her into the kitchen where he savagely kicked her before grabbing a knife.He eventually left and went home as his wife called an ambulance for Mrs Mirgind. He later turned himself in at the police station and told them exactly what had happened.
Judge Nigel Peters QC said: ‘You have accepted that you have caused the most serious injuries to your daughter in law.

‘You set about her having taken umbrage because you felt she was having affairs when it turned out she had been receiving prank calls.You set out with great hostility and vengeance – you punched her, forced to the ground and kicked her and took knives to her face and wrist to gouge her eyes.
‘She has since lost a lot of sight in both eyes and there is major scarring to her face.
In a statement read by his lawyer Edward Boateng-Addo, he said: ‘

I am a hard-working family man who left his job to care for his ill mother seven years ago.I was stressed out at the time and nothing can excuse what I did.I was trying to protect her – I am a peaceful and honest man and I know I will not have the chance to apologise but I do look to the court to say how sorry I am.
He had initially been charged with attempted murder but prosecutors later accepted a plea of causing grievous bodily harm with intent in order to avoid having to go to trial.He stared at the floor as he was jailed for ten years and eight months

Mother Of Soldier Killed By Boko Haram Cries Out !

A mother, Mrs. Sarai Usman, whose son was killed at the Nigerian-Chad border by Boko Haram said that son's family has been abandoned by government.

In an interview, Mrs. Sarai Usman, 55, said that she found out from her daughter-in-law that her son, Lance Corporal David Usman, was killed on May 18, 2013 at the Nigerian-Chad border by Boko Haram sect.
"He was just 37 years old when he was killed. He left behind a wife and two children. The first child is three years old and the second is six months. His wife was just two months pregnant when he died. He never got to see his son’s face before Boko Haram killed him," the mother said.

According to her, since her son died, she don’t have enough money to take care of herself and his family. Usman's children don't attend school as their mother can’t afford it. "I was devastated when I heard (about son's death), I fell on the ground wailing. I didn't want to believe my son was gone at first, but when reality dawned on me, I had to come to terms with his death," the mother confessed.

Mrs. Sarai Usman believes that the government should support his family financially, because he died while protecting his country.

"His family has been suffering. His salary has not been paid since his death and his family has no sign concerning the payment of his benefits or gratuity, I’ve complained several times but it’s been to no avail. They have no money to sustain themselves. It was his earnest desire to give his children sound education," she said.

Speaking about her last conversation with her son, she admitted that he advised her to warn his younger brother not to go out anyhow because of the Boko Haram sect. "He said I should prevent him from going to Boko Haram infested zones. He never knew the evil he was trying to protect his brother against would still kill him," Mrs. Usman said.

The governor was also expecting us. But we were far gone. I personally drove the car and all of us had to switch off our phones so no one would know our whereabouts.

“I drove for five hours and we arrived Abuja at 2 a.m. We were not afraid of armed robbers or anyone attacking us on the road. We were only afraid that the authorities could plant people on the road to waylay and attack us. But thank God we arrived safe.

“I have been shouting that we are in a dictatorship, people thought I’m joking or exaggerating,” Mr. Amaechi said. “At least we can all see what is playing out.”

Other dignitaries alongside Governor Amaechi in the plane who ended up travelling by road were: the former governor of Gombe State, Senator Danjuma Goje, and a former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, a former governor of Kwara state, Senator Shaaba Lafiagi.

TERROR: Opposition Tackles PDP As Insurgents Kill Two, Burn Vehicles In Borno

Angered by the allegation by the ruling People’s Democratic Party, that ravaging terrorism attacks in parts of the North were sponsored by the opposition APC to stop President Jonathan’s transformation agenda, Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, yesterday, challenged the PDP to provide evidence of its claim or shut up forever.

Nyako, who is insisting that the President unjustly imposed emergency rule in his state for political expediency, warned the PDP to desist from making wild allegations against the opposition but to face the realities of its failure to address Nigeria’s rising challenges, including terrorism, which he described as a by-product of the ruling party’s 15-year incompetent leadership of Nigeria.

National Conference Delegates Get Paid N1.45 Million For One Week Sitting

492 delegates to the National Conference today got their first pay today. It was gathered that each of the delegates got paid N1.45 million Naira after sitting for a week. The payment was made directly into the bank accounts of delegates.

This is the first week of the National Conference. The delegates spent the week squabbling over sitting arrangements, which prayers were appropriate and other mundane issues. They are expected to meet for three months and get paid every two weeks, according to the sources.

The Nigerian government has made available N7 billion (Naira) for the conference. Each delegate is expected to be paid N4 million Naira per month, but it appears some of the funds will be applied to the secretariat.
Despite this huge amount, in a country where state governors are refusing to pay the minimum wage at N18,000 per month, the delegates are still asking for more money to pay their aide.
"N1.45 million Naira for a week's job is not bad at all," says columnist and satirist, Rudolf Okonkwo, "especially when most of the delegates were just sleeping during their few hours of sitting."

SHOCKING: Obasanjo Caused Nigeria's Problems- Fani Kayode

Fani-Kayode who spoke with journalists in Osogbo, the Osun State capital yesterday noted that President Jonathan has failed and disappointed Nigerians, especially the Yoruba nation, saying the alleged incompetence of the president has caused many problems for the nation.

He equally opined that the Yoruba nation had been marginalised by the Jonathan’s administration and thereby called on all Yoruba people to vote out Jonathan in 2015, saying any attempt to allow him stay in office beyond 2015 would spell doom for the Yoruba nation.

Fani-Kayode, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) also said: "President Obasanjo has started cleaning up the mess he caused by putting Jonathan in office."

According to him "Obasanjo is my great leader who I have a lot of respect for and I will continue to respect him but the truth is Obasanjo caused the problem we experience today. The joy of it is that the same Obasanjo who anointed an incompetent leader for Nigeria is now cleaning up the mess.

"The country has five Presidents and they are Mrs. Patience Jonathan, Mrs. Aliezen Madueke, Mrs. Stella Odua, Mrs. Okonjo Iweala and Dr Goodluck Jonathan. All these five presidents control the nation, but the most powerful of them all is Mrs. Jonathan. She is so powerful that no one can control her and whatever she says is final in this country."

The former minister also pointed out that most of the officials in Jonathan’s government, rather than take instruction from the President, take instruction from Mrs Jonathan adding that “the President's wife has done more evils than good for the country."

While speaking on the state of the nation, he said: "Jonathan has disappointed Nigerians in all sectors of the economy and if he should allow to continue in office, this country is heading for serious disaster."

He condemned the administration of President Jonathan, stressing that the Ijaw ethnic nationality which he said was a minority now controls the entire nation without giving considerations to various factors that bind the country together.

"Nigeria is more divided now than any time in our history. We are faced with a government that only believes in Ijaw value. The ijaw people have succeeded in imposing only what favour them over the overall people of the nation," he said.

Fani-Kayode alleged that the boko haram sect has killed more Muslims than Christians in the North, alleging that the activities of the sect may continue until Jonathan leaves office.

Buhari Disappointed In The Nigerian Army, Urges Soldiers To Return To Basic Military Training

Former military ruler of Nigeria, now the All Progressives Congress' chieftain, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) expressed disappointment with Nigerian Army soldiers' indiscipline and apparent inability to fight the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East.

On Wednesday, General Buhari gave an interview to the Voice of America Hausa programme.
He advised the soldiers to return to the basics of military training if they want to win the war against insurgency in the country. He lamented that nowadays, the military are accused of collecting bribe, raping women and "wiping out" entire communities as retaliation for killing one of their own.

"That was not known before," Buhari stressed. The former Head of state recalled that in the days of the late President Umaru Yar'Adua, a plane with leaders of Niger Delta militants was sent to Abuja to hold peaceful talks.

"But everybody knows that the Boko Haram leader was arrested and killed. We all know that in times of crisis, the police should do their work, and it is only when such crisis escalates that the military comes in," he noted.

Meanwhile, speaking yesterday at the stakeholders' meeting on security, General Officer Commanding of the 1 Division of the Nigerian Army, Kaduna, Major General Garba Wahab said the military, along with other security agencies, need support in their fight against insurgency in Nigeria. He urged ordinary Nigerians to provide the Army with useful information and not criticize them so harshly.

He assured that the Army and other security agencies remain apolitical.

The NNPC made its position known in a press release on its website. Sanusi on Tuesday told the Senate Committee on Finance chaired by Ahmed Makarfi that out of $67bn of crude oil the NNPC sold between January 2012 and January 2013, only $47bn came to the CBN.

The CBN Governor first raised concerns about the 'missing' revenue late last year in a memo to the President Goodluck Jonathan that leaked to the press.

Back then Sanusi alleged that $49.8bn was not unaccounted for, but the government admitted that $10.8bn was yet to be remitted.

However, the CBN chief still insists that $20bn is missing. 'CBN is not an auditing outfit'. Talking with journalists on the sidelines of the Senate Committee hearing room, NNPC's Managing Director Andrew Yakubu stated that these were "unsubstantiated" claims which demonstrated "a little understanding of the technicalities of the oil industry" by the CBN.

"CBN is not an auditing outfit. But what it is doing is now auditing. We have no problem with auditing, but let the professionals, the certified bodies and agencies that are charged with this responsibility of auditing, to do their work" he added.

Yakubu further said that the issues raised by the CBN boss will be reconciled by the Inter Agency Committee established to settle the $49.8bn saga.

"Our position remains the same and we remain open to all stakeholders. These are issues that are currently before the reconciliation committee and before now it has been a subject of monthly verification before FAAC [the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee] and other stakeholders," he said

Yakubu added that a lot of progress had been made in the reconciliation of the $10.8 billion and expressed hope that by the time the Committee meets next week the final report would be ready, and NNPC will be vindicated.
