SHOCKING: Boko Haram Abduct 20 Young Nigerian Women For Personal Pleasure
Gunmen from Islamist sect Boko Haram are certainly not waiting for the reward of martyrdom in heaven: the reward of 72 virgins by their creator.
They are claiming the reward right here in Nigeria. In their latest deadly assault against Konduga, Borno state, the menacing armed men did not just kill between 43 and 51 people, they also abducted 20 young girls from a local school. Another account said the number of the girls taken was 25.
They were said to be keeping the girls as hostages. Dozens of Boko Haram fighters speeding along in trucks painted in military colors and armed with automatic weapons and explosives had stormed Konduga around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, burning houses and shooting fleeing villagers, two witnesses said.
“It is barbaric and unfortunate,” Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima said when he visited the town on Wednesday. “About 60 to 70 percent of the town has been burnt down but we are willing to rebuild it,” he added, pledging to spend 100 million naira ($609,000) on emergency materials.

TERRIBLE: A Nigerian Man Arrested With Hard Drugs Worth $48k In India
A Nigerian national has been arrested by the police in Ankleshwar, India under various sections of Narcotic Drugs and Pyschotropic Substances Act after brown sugar worth Rs 30 lakh, about $48,000, was recovered from him.
Police had detained Kalu Okare Obasi, 36, a native of Nigeria, on January 31 after he was found moving around suspiciously on the national highway 8 on January 31. They had also found two passports from him, one issued in November 2013 from Federal Republic of Nigeria and another from Kingdom of Lesotho where his name is written as Aeshan alias Musongi that was issued on September 18, 2008.
His name, birth date and address are different in both passports. Moreover, he has a valid business visa for both the passports till November 6, 2014. He arrived in India on January 6.
Police also found a parcel acknowledgement of a leading private courier company from him. The description of parcel mentioned the contents as saree. The destination of the courier was mentioned as Title Blue Agency No.13500, MCC Raken Road, Garlfield Heights, OHO 44125 USA.
“When we asked him about the parcel, he said that an unknown woman named Vomica met him at Ankleshwar railway station and requested him to make a courier on her behalf at the mentioned address and he obliged,” said MS Rana, police inspector, Ankleshwar GIDC.
However, police took his version with a pinch of salt and collected the parcel from the courier office in Ankleshwar. On opening the parcel, police found a pink colour chaniya choli, which had a lace at the bottom. The lace contained some white coloured powder, which was sent to Gandhinagar’s forensic laboratory.
The report was received on February 5 and it was revealed that it was 152.8 gm heroin. Bharuch superintendent of police Bipin Ahire told TOI: “We have started investigation about all the places that he visited and lived as well as the documents like passports and visa. We are trying to trace the source of brown sugar as well as his local contacts.”
In another development, another Nigerian was arrested Tuesday night by the Indian Customs (Preventive) Narcotics police at Koregaon Park, near Mundhwa in the city of Pune. The Nigerian was identified as Rotimy(Rotimi) Aziz alias Jojo (32) from Undri. He had on him 75 gm of cocaine worth $5,600.
According to reports, ‘Rotimy’ had arrived on a motorcycle to sell cocaine to a customer around 11.25 pm.
The officials intercepted Rotimy when he reached the spot, took him into custody and seized the cocaine packed in a plastic bag from his trousers. The motorcycle worth $1300 was also seized.
Inspector (narcotics cell) Satish Kulkarni said Rotimy came to India on a business visa in 2000. He had stayed in Mumbai, Pune and New Delhi. Kulkarni said Rotimy got into cocaine sale for quick money in 2008. He shifted base to Undri to expand his network.

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.

A Pastor who was among the people who tipped off the police on Thursday said: “I went to the hotel early this year, after eating, I was told that a lump of meat was being sold at N700, I was surprised.

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.

NNPC Fights Back: Nigeria Oil Money Is Not Missing
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has denied the accusations by the Governor of Central Bank Sanusi Lamido Sanusi that it had not remitted $20bn to the Federation account.

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.

Kwara State: Pupil Who Committed Suicide Wanted To Be A Doctor – Father
The Circumstances surrounding the death of a pupil in Kwara State, who allegedly committed suicide, have yet to be unravelled.
For Olanrewaju Oyeniyi, father of a Senior Secondary 1 pupil of Oro Grammar School, in Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Boluwatife, who allegedly committed suicide on January 20, 2014, the circumstance behind his son’s death is beyond comprehension.
The father has however said the death of his son is not ordinary.
He says in an emotion-laden voice, “I know that what happened to my son was not ordinary. But wherever it came from, I have left everything to God to judge and I know very soon that He will act.”
Boluwatife reportedly used his belt to hang himself on a tree in the school compound.
But how come a 14-year-old pupil could go to the extent of killing himself? Did he have academic challenges? Did his parents rebuke him over any matter? Was there a case of sabotage? These and many more questions are some of the issues reporters raised with Boluwatife’s father.

CAUGHT RED-HANDED: Yet Another Nigerian Police Officer Demands US Dollar Bribe From An American Citizen In Lagos (VIDEO)
Yet another police officer has been filmed while negotiating a bribe. The incident apparently took place last week.
An American citizen was stopped at the Monument bank premises in Egbeda, Lagos, for wearing green cargo trousers – which is considered to be a military outfit.
The whole exchange was recorded secretly by what seems to be a camera disguised as an electronic cigarette.
In the almost four-minute long video, the yet-to-be-identified armed policeman demands more U.S. dollars from the Americans, even suggesting going to the currency exchange bureau himself to convert the naira to dollars.
The police officer had a rifle with him.
At some point in the video, he threatens to take the Americans to the police station should they refuse to pay: "Bring better thing, that one is not money, I don tell you finish o!" he can be heard saying.
The video has gone viral since it was posted on the Youtube video channel. Watch the whole clip here from this following link. http://adf.ly/csmOv

Ogun State: Chinese Boss Breaks Bottle On Nigerian Employee's Head
Two Chinese nationals, Mike Jackson and Tony Jackson, have been detained by the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran, Ogun State, for allegedly assaulting one of their employees at Jivan Plastic Company.
The assaulted employee, Adeleke Owolabi, a Mass Communications graduate from Olabisi Onabanjo university was on his first day at the job when he was reportedly attacked by Mike over a minor mistake. He was trying to defend himself when the other Chinese national, Tony smashed a bottle on his head.
Recounting his ordeal, Owolabi said, “I was bringing out PVC materials out of a bag and Mike said I was not handling the materials properly. He kicked me and slapped me repeatedly so I held unto his shirt to prevent him from beating me further.
“However, his cousin, Tony, smashed a bottle on my head and they beat me until I fainted and woke up on the way to Makun Police Division covered in blood.”
According to Owolabi, the police declined arresting the Chinese men due to their status as foreigners but after the story was published yesterday, the police swung into action. They went to the company in Sagamu and whisked the suspects away.
Owolabi said, "Yes, the Chinese men have been detained at the SCID and I am satisfied with the action of the police so far. I am happy that the media are helping to ensure that the matter is not swept under the carpet. I am not after money but I just don’t want a situation whereby Nigerians are treated badly by foreigners in their own land."
Confirming the arrest, the Ogun state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said, "the matter is at the SCID and we are compiling the case files. We want to assure members of the public that justice will prevail."
