Customers Flash In Lagos Restaurant, One Killed

There was chaos at Bees restaurant on Ire Akari Estate in the Isolo area of Lagos State, when some customers clashed, resulting in the death of one person. The victim, a man, was stabbed in the chest with a broken bottle and he bled to death.

It was learnt that on Sunday at about 8.30pm, customers had come to recline at the restaurant. But at an argument had ensued between the victim, whose name had yet to be ascertained, and another customer, leading to a free-for-all. He was killed in the process while two others were injured.

It was gathered that policemen from the Isolo division went to the scene to remove the corpse.

A police source told The Punch that the operatives had yet to ascertain what led to the fight, adding that preliminary investigation showed that some of the customers were drunk.

He said, “Anti-crime patrol policemen mobilised to the scene and a man was seen lying down in a pool of blood. He was subsequently rushed to a hospital, where he died.”

But the management of the restaurant, who were invited by the police, denied that the fight occurred on their premises.

The Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, adding that investigation was ongoing.

“The owner of the bar is undergoing interrogation with the command. Although he denied that the fracas happened inside his bar, the police are investigating to find out what actually transpired.”

Gunmen storm Police Station in Benue, kill all Officers on duty

This is a barbaric act. An overnight attack by gunmen on a police post in central Benue State has left at least four police officers dead. Witnesses said the yet-to-be-identified gunmen stormed the police divisional headquarters in Igumale, the headquarters of Ado Local Government Area, shortly after midnight on October 2, killing all the four officers on duty.

The attackers also carted away the officers' guns and ammunition.

Ajibo Ochulayi, a community leader in the agrarian town, told PT that while two officers died on the spot, two others later passed on in a medical centre in Makurdi, the state capital.

“It is sad that the gunmen were able to overpower the policemen and killed all the four of them with little resistance,” Mr. Ochulayi said.

He said the state’s police commissioner, Bashir Makama, visited the scene on Sunday afternoon with a few mobile police officers to assess the aftermath.

Police have launched a manhunt for the assailants but and no one has been identified.

Tunisia Sentences 31 To Death For Attack On Minister

A Tunisian court has handed 31 people death sentences over a 2014 attack on the home of then interior minister Lotfi Ben Jeddou, a judiciary spokesman said on Monday.

The 31, who included Algerians as well as Tunisians, were sentenced in absentia and some are reported to be already dead.

Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) claimed the attack on the minister’s family home in the western border region of Kasserine, which left four police officers dead.

Ben Jeddou was not in the house at the time.


Those convicted were found guilty of “wilful homicide and membership of a terrorist group” and were also sentenced to 36 years in prison.

A total of 46 people were prosecuted over the attack, said the spokesman for Tunis district court, Sofiene Sliti.

Orange Employee Who ‘Stole’ Customer’s Number To Whatsapp Her In ‘Trouble’

Oh dear! So there’s currently a saga going on at Orange in Kenya when a male employee stole a lady’s number after she came to their office for registration. He stole the number and sent her a whatsapp message at night. The lady however didn’t find it funny and said it was a breach of her privacy. She later shared the conversation on twitter and also tweeted at Orange reporting the incident.

A lot of people however feel the action was harsh and asked that the guy shouldn’t be punished. But then people need to chill, especially ladies asking that he shouldn’t be punished. That’s why some men date two/three women together. What if this guy was used to messaging every fine customer and some people fall mugu for him? Isn’t this how heartbreaks start, when he eventually dumps others for one? And probably even get married and still cheats? Abeg he should be punished. You don’t go on stealing people’s numbers only to message them at night. What audacity?

What Orange messaged her after the cut.

PDP Heads To Court To Challenge Obaseki’s Victory, Calls For Dissolution Of INEC

The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday said that it would challenge the outcome of the Edo State governorship election at the election petitions tribunal.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had last Thursday declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Godwin Obaseki, as the winner of the election.

According to the electoral umpire, Obaseki had a total of 319,483 votes while his counterpart in the PDP, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, polled 253,173 votes to come second.

The opposition had rejected the result, which it described as a fraud, and accused INEC of alleged complicity.


But the Edo State PDP Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, who disclosed this in a chat with The Punch in Benin, the Edo State capital, explained that the party would leave nothing to chance to  prove that the result was manipulated and that it would also expose the alleged corruption and incompetence of the electoral commission.

He, therefore, called for the dissolution of the present leadership of the INEC.

I Won’t Buy National Assets Even If They Are Offered To Me On Credit- Dangote

Following the outcry that has trailed the advocacy for the sale of the country’s national assets as a quick measure to fund the 2016 budget and boost the country’s foreign exchange reserves, the President/Chief Executive of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has dismissed insinuations that his advocacy for the sale of the assets was self-serving, saying he was not interested in any of the assets.

Dangote, who spoke in an exclusive interview with ThisDay, stressed that if the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Company or any other national asset was offered to him, even on credit, he would not be interested in acquiring them.

Dangote, who is Africa’s richest man, said his advocacy for the government to sell down some of its interest in some of the national assets was to help boost the economy as well as to stabilise the naira exchange rate, which has been under attack in the past few days.


According to him, he offered his proposal as a way out of Nigeria’s present economic recession because he is “a true Nigerian who really wants the issues about the economy to be sorted out”.
He added: “You know the issue, once your reserves are low, the banks, entrepreneurs, including external forces, would definitely attack your currency. They would speculate on your currency.

“We all know that the exchange rate of almost N500 to the dollar is not a true reflection of the value of the currency – the naira cannot be almost N500 to the dollar!
“But you see, if this thing is not handled properly, it can get out of hand. It can get to N600 to the dollar, or even N700 to the dollar.

“But the issue is, why did I suggest that we should sell some of the assets? I know the touchy one is the NLNG. I want to make it categorically clear that even if the government is selling NLNG on credit, I am not interested in buying.

“I don’t have any interest in NLNG and I will not buy it. It is not a business that I want to invest in. It is a mature business; that is what people don’t understand.

“You see, we should have invested heavily in all these Brass LNG, Olokola LNG, etc, when former President Olusegun Obasanjo started work on the projects, but we missed the opportunity.

“Today, you have massive LNG projects that have been done by Qatar, Australia and the United States is also exporting. But right now, all the gas that we have is even in the ground. Even Mozambique has a massive amount of gas and also Tanzania, and they are nearer to the markets than we are.

“So, if somebody is even going to invest in LNG, he would go to those areas and invest there and not here in Nigeria, because the investment here daunting. So my own suggestion is that even if we must sell, it doesn’t have to be 100 per cent of our interest in NLNG.”

Dangote maintained that even if NLNG was bringing in $1.5 billion into the federal government’s coffers, once the government reduces its stake in the company and it is run more professionally, Nigeria would generate more funds from it.

“People are just saying it is better to go and borrow, but I don’t know where they are coming from. You see, with borrowing, if I have issues with my business today, the bankers who would lend me the money would want to see me doing something first to see how the business can survive. There would be conditionalities.

“But if you are not shedding weight, how do you expect somebody to help you with funding? You have to start first by trying to shed weight and showing the person (lender) who wants to help you with the assets you want to sell,” he explained.

Dangote maintained that Nigeria requires about $15 billion to jumpstart its economy, saying that if the amount were added to Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves of about $25 billion, this would help attract foreign investors.

“I can assure you that if our forex reserves get to $40 billion, you will be shocked at how people will reject even buying dollars. So, is it worth it for us to keep assets that we are not using? Even the oil assets that I am suggesting for sale, they are not the producing assets. We have a lot of non-producing assets.

“The producing assets only form about 73 per cent of Nigeria’s portfolio. We can also unlock shut-in oil production because today we are losing about 700,000 barrels, be it through negotiations or whatever with the militants. These 700,000 barrels can easily give us about $1 billion a month. So, I am not saying that you should touch the producing assets.

“I am talking about the sale of the marginal fields and all those non-producing and capped oil wells that we have not even touched in the last 50 years. They have not been touched at all. They are there, just dormant.

“These assets form about 14.7 per cent of Nigeria’s portfolio. Some of those assets were bought by Shell and others. These are assets that you are not earning anything from.

“But the moment that you put these assets into use, the money that you will start getting from them, we will be talking about an additional $4 billion to $8 billion, and you can go and borrow money against that,” he added.

Eldee is one of the reasons I call Nigerians illiterates – Kemi Olunloyo

                         

Kemi Olunloyo, has slammed Nigerian rapper, Eldee for purportedly promoting rape.

This came after the rapper lashed out at international celebrity socialite, Amber Rose, on her annual ‘Slut Walk’.
The ‘Slut Walk’ is a transnational movement of protest marches calling for an end to rape culture. Specifically, participants protest against explaining or excusing rape by referring to any aspect of a woman’s appearance.

El Dee took to his Twitter handle few days ago to blast Amber Rose.

He posted “I’m upset because there is a deliberate effort by the media to poison the minds of our daughters. Amber Rose is a hoe.
“This is not a media event. It’s an awareness event. For someone that lives in the USA, ignorance does not excuse stupidity in researching something that originated in Canada and gone global.”

Reacting to the rapper’s comment, the controversial social media personality described Eldee as an illiterate who has not researched ‘Slut Walk’.

                      

In a press release signed by her publicist David Perez, she said;

“Research! U are on the Internet. Stop promoting RAPE in #Nigeria. This #moron Nigerian rapper is bashing Amber Rose on #slutwalk. He needs to be skooled! Research things before posting. #SlutWalk started in #Canada when I was there. 

It is a protest against raping women due to what they wore. Sexy mini clothes don’t warrant rape. U are a freaking nonentity who claims to be protecting his daughters and yet called Amber Rose a “hoe” dumbass fool. 

There are males waiting to call your daughters hoes later in life. It’s dumbasses like U who haven’t let the gender equality pass. 

Your post was full of crap. Who cares if your daughters don’t follow Amber? Serena, Simone, Lupita as you mentioned all condemn rape! 

No positive role model endorses rape. Know the meaning of slut walk. You need to apologize to all Nigerian women. I am a feminist and won’t stand for rappers who need attention by calling women hoes and not even researching #slutwalk then he goes on and blames the media.

Rape is not a word you just use recklessly she stated. In Nigeria, some fathers do rape their underage children, women are raped and even elderly women have been raped,” the statement added.

Father of two headed for Madagascar excretes 25 wraps of cocaine (photo)

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have arrested a 47-year-old man, who attempted to export 270 grammes of cocaine to Madagascar
The suspect, Odili Onyekwere, was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, during the outward screening of passengers on a Kenyan Airways flight to Ivato International Airport, Antananarivo, Madagascar.

The NDLEA Commander at the Lagos Airport, Ahmadu Garba, said:

“This is the first arrest and seizure in the year of a passenger heading to Madagascar from this airport. The suspect, Odili Onyekwere, successfully excreted 25 wraps of cocaine, which he ingested, while under close observation. 

“He is cooperating with our team of investigators and the case will soon be charged to court.”

During interrogation, the Rivers State-born suspect said he went into drug trafficking out of frustration. The father of two, who trades in foot wear in Lome, Togo, said:

“I am married with two children and I sell shoes in Lome, Togo. As a result of the economic downturn, my capital kept depreciating until I lost everything. It was the frustration of not being able to provide for my wife and two children that made me go into smuggling of cocaine. 

It is my first time. They promised to pay me $1,000, which is over N400,000, going by the present exchange rate.”

Commenting on the arrest, the Chairman/Chief Executive of the agency, Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah, said with the use of latest technology in drug control, the agency would continue to disappoint those hoping to get rich quick from drug trafficking.

Rahama Sadau releases statement on her expulsion from Kannywood

Recall that the Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria Monday announced they have expelled top Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau, from the Hausa film industry because she featured in a romantic musical video by Jos born singer, ClassiQ where she hugged and cuddled the music artist. Read her statement after the cut...

"Following the events of the last few days and MOPPAN’s unilateral
decision to exclude me from the Hausa indigenous film industry, known
as Kannywood, I would like to use this medium to address my fans,
friends, those who have been affected and all who have shown concern. To those who I have offended in any way, shape or form and who I have
caused any anxiety by featuring in the said music video, I sincerely
apologise. It was a job and I was carrying out my role in my profession,
as I would in any other production, be it a Hausa language film or a
Nollywood production. However, innocuous touching with other people in
my line of work is inevitable.
I have lines that I would never cross and indeed I live and stand by the
tenets, “actions are judged according to intentions”. The outcome of the events that have taken place has come as a surprise
to us all. I may have fallen short of some people’s expectations, but it was
never my intention. I make no excuses for my actions and I take full
responsibility.
Thank you to all those who have reached out at this time and to everyone
in general for your unwavering support. Your passion and loyalty hasn’t
gone unnoticed and I am privileged to have your support. This, I do not
take for granted and I want nothing more than to continue making you all
proud. I implore us all to be more tolerant and forgiving towards one another
and to cease all the senseless abuse, name-calling and backbiting. This
achieves nothing other than to cause a huge divide amongst us. May we
all continue to benefit from the Almighty’s mercy and may He protect and
guide us all as we go about our daily lives.

BIG LOOTS: FG to start Prosecution of Ex-Governors, Saraki, Peter Odili, Others

The Federal Government, through its newly set up National Prosecution Coordination Committee, is set to start filing fraud charges against big looter, including former governors this October.

The NAPCC and some of the special teams of prosecutors, pooled together by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, had commenced the review of the corruption cases involving some of the former governors and politically-exposed persons.

A top member of the NPCC revealed that 

the preliminary issues would be completed soon and the Federal Government’s teams of prosecutors would start filing charges against some of the ex-governors.

According to The Punch, anti-graft agencies and other law enforcement bodies with prosecutorial powers had since complied with the directive issued by the AGF in August, asking them to remit the duplicate files of the high profile cases they were handling to the NPCC.

A source familiar with the ongoing review of the cases said, “You will recall that before the NAPCC began work, the AGF had written to the EFCC and ICPC, asking them to remit the duplicate files of 31 ex-governors and some other politically-exposed persons to his office.

“While the anti-corruption agencies had yet to respond, the AGF again asked the various agencies with prosecutorial powers, including the ICPC and the EFCC, to compile and remit the duplicate files of all high profile cases they had to the NPCC.

“I can tell you the agencies have responded to the AGF’s directive and the NPCC is now reviewing the files.”

The source added that the files had been distributed to some prosecuting teams, each comprising four lawyers, also recently pooled together by the Federal Government through the AGF.

The source stated, “We don’t want to rush to court. We have asked some of our teams of prosecutors to look into the files and review the evidence and draft charges where there is sufficient evidence.

“After the review is completed, we will hold a conference of all the lawyers to review the drafted charges before filing.

“We expect that all these will be concluded soon and we start filing the charges before the end of this month.”

Names of those on the list are:

Senate President Bukola Saraki, who is a former Governor of Kwara; Godswill Akpabio, a former Governor of Akwa Ibom; PDP chairman Ali Modu Sheriff, who is an ex-Governor of Borno State.

Other former governors include:

Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia); Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu); Saminu Turaki (Jigawa); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Joshua Dariye (Plateau); Ahmed Yerima (Zamfara); Gabriel Suswam (Benue); Martin Elechi (Ebonyi); Danjuma Goje (Gombe) and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa).

They also include Ikedi Ohakim (Imo); Achike Udenwa (Imo); Abdullahi Adamu (Nasarawa); Gbenga Daniel (Ogun); Jolly Nyame (Taraba); Boni Haruna (Adamawa); George Akume (Benue); Rashidi Ladoja (Oyo); Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto) and Adebayo Alao-Akala (Oyo).

Others are Usman Dakingari (Kebbi); Adamu Mu’azu (Bauchi); Lucky Igbindedion (Edo) and the man who got perpetual injunction, Peter Odili (Rivers).

Man sleeps on road, threatens suicide Due to hardship

A resident of Imo State, Chidozie Anyanwu, has said he is ready to die if the standard of living in the state does not improve.

Chidozie, who was seen lying on MCC/Uratta Road, Owerri, on Monday, refused to leave the road despite entreaties that he could be crushed to death by vehicles.

For his safety, he was avoided by motorists, including tricycle riders, plying the road.

He told The Punch that his mother died recently and was put in the mortuary, adding that she had yet to be buried due to lack of money.

Anyanwu, who is married with three children, said it was difficult for him to feed his family due to the harsh economy.

He said, “My wife is a civil servant and her salary does not come as and when due. And when it comes, the bank collects all and still debits her account because of a loan she took. The provision shop she opened with the loan is not growing because Imo people don’t have money. People, who used to patronise the shop, are no longer coming and when she calls them, they always say there is no money.”

He said since the last three months, business has been so poor for him, adding that his children ate only once in a day. People came out and begged him not to kill himself because of his family.

UPDATE | EFCC To Re-Arraign Sylva Before Court of Appeal

Former Bayelsa State governor, Timipre Sylva and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have disagreed over the existence of 48 houses allegedly traced to the ex-governor.

While Sylva claims to own only three houses in Abuja, the EFCC spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, insists that the ex-governor owns the 48 houses and that the commission had begun fresh moves to re-arraign Sylva before the Court of Appeal.

It was reported on Monday by The Punch that the EFCC had traced and sealed off 48 properties allegedly owned by Sylva.

The EFCC had subsequently arraigned the ex-governor for an alleged N19bn fraud and slammed 50 charges against him. Three Federal High Courts had, however, struck out the case.

Following Sylva’s victory, the ex-governor had reclaimed ownership of the properties, some of which had been rented out.

But in a statement on Monday, Sylva denied ownership of the houses, insisting that he owned only three houses in Abuja.

However, the spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the existence of the houses to our correspondent on the telephone.

He said the anti-graft agency had filed an appeal at the Appellate Court demanding that Sylva should not have access to the properties.

He said, “I have just spoken to Rotimi Jacobs (SAN) who is in charge of the case. He confirmed to me that the EFCC has begun moves to appeal the case, which means that he (Sylva) should have no access to the houses.”

Some of the houses, according to Uwujaren, include: 

A mansion at 3, River Niger Street, Plot 3192 Cadastral Zone AO, Maitama District, Abuja; nine units (comprising six one-bedroom and three two-bedroom apartments) at 8, Sefadu Street, Wuse, Zone 2, Plot 262 Cadastral Zone AO2, Wuse, Abuja, and two duplexes at 5, Oguta Street, Plot 906 Cadastral Zone, Wuse II, Abuja.

Others include:

A duplex on Plot 1271 Nike Street, Cadastral Zone AO5, Maitama District, Abuja; a duplex at Phase 1 Unit No. 1 (Villa 1) Palm Springs Gold Estate, Cachez Turkey Projects Limited, Mpape, Abuja; 10 units of one-room apartments at 8 Mistrata Street, Plot 232 Cadastral Zone, Wuse II, Abuja; five units duplexes on Plot No 1070 Dakibiyu District, Cadastral Zone B10, Abuja; 16 units service apartments at Plot 1181 Thaba Tseka Crescent, off IBB Way, Wuse II, Abuja, and 3 units of three-bedroom flats at No. 1 Mubi Close, Plot 766 Cadastral Zone A01, Garki, Abuja.
