Lagos Policemen Collect N50k for Bail from Lady, Touch Her Sister's Privates Posted: 04 Sep 2017 04:21 AM PDT Policemen attached to the Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Cultism Squad of state Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Lagos Police Command, have been accused of collecting N50,000 before granting bail to one Blessing Taiwo, who was arrested for alleged theft. Although the suspect was released on Saturday after the money was paid, the police allegedly seized her mobile phone pending when she would pay a balance of N20,000. According to Punch, the suspect's sister, Florence Taiwo, who always took food to her in the cell, was allegedly molested by the policemen who touched her bre*sts and dipped hands into her private parts before allowing her to take the food into the cell. Blessing, a mother of two, had been arrested on Monday after her boss, Mrs. Abiola Osagie, accused her of stealing $50,000 while the latter was away on a trip. Mr.s Osagie had alerted policemen from the Ikoyi division, who transferred the matter to the SCIID, Yaba, for further investigation. Although the case bordered on alleged theft, it was transferred to the Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Cultism Squad on Hogan Bassey Crescent, Surulere, where the victim was allegedly locked up in the same cell with a suspect who had a mental problem. After spending three days in the cell and the intervention of the Office of the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer and an Assistant Commissioner of Police, the suspect was released on bail. However, a demand of N2m was allegedly made, which was negotiated to N70,000. "After we paid them N50,000, the police didn't release her (Blessing) phone. They said we should bring the remaining on Tuesday when her phone would be released," a family member revealed. On how the matter started, Blessing said she had been working as office administrator and assistant to Osagie for the past eight years in an international investment and equity firm, AfricInvest. AfricInvest is in eight countries of the world, but the Nigerian office in Ikoyi, Lagos, is under the leadership of Osagie, who is the Managing Director. Blessing said, "The office cleaner was sacked more than a year ago and since then, a new cleaner had not been employed. I have been the one cleaning the office; washing the toilet and doing other menial duties. "During the quarterly appraisal, I raised issues about the general cleaning of the office and suggested we get somebody to do it. After she travelled, I asked her driver to do the job for a fee of N10,000. I decided to give the job to him to save cost. "However, on the last day of the cleaning, I observed the man messed up the chemical for the cleaning of the floor and I got a man to assist with the clean up. "She returned from her trip on Thursday, and by Friday, she came to the office. I gave her feedback about the cleaning. I told her I invited four people from outside to do the job. I didn't tell her that her driver did the job because if she knew, she would have asked why I paid him any money." Blessing, an Ogun State indigene, said Osagie did not raise any issues after they both left the office at 6pm on the Friday and also at the end of work the following Monday. Blessing said she, however, received a call by 8.30pm on Monday, as Osagie asked her to get to work early on Tuesday over an issue. "When I got there, she said I should get a ladder and climb to a particular cabinet. I thought she wanted me to bring down some files. "However, I found a black bag and she asked me to bring it down. She said she left $50,000 in the bag, among other currencies, and I told her that nobody took anything from the place because I was careful," she added. Policemen from the Ikoyi division were said to have been invited to the firm, who interrogated the suspect. Blessing, 43, said she informed the police that the driver and another man were involved in the cleaning and she supervised them. The driver, however, reportedly told the police that the bag in question had been taken home by Osagie on Monday. He allegedly said he noticed that the bag was heavy, adding that he did not know the content. A security man on the premises, who was also interviewed, allegedly told operatives that Osagie was seen returning to the office alone late on the same night with the bag. According to Punch, operatives searched the home of Blessing and checked her bank account balance without finding any money. The Divisional Police Officer allegedly said there was no evidence linking Blessing with the incident, but the complainant allegedly insisted that she was culpable. The matter was subsequently transferred to the SCIID, Yaba, from where it was referred to the Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Cultism Squad headed by CSP Akinade Adejobi. The suspect's sister, Folake, said, "The police at Ikoyi told her that they didn't find any evidence of stealing. But she (Osagie) insisted that my sister took the money. "The case was transferred to the SCIID, Yaba, on Wednesday, from where it was referred to Hogan Bassey Crescent. My sister was detained that night and we were asked to return the following day. "During the interrogation, the driver, who agreed to cleaning the office and collecting N10,000 said he assisted the woman to carry the bag into the car the night preceding when she declared the money missing. She didn't deny it. "The other cleaner said he didn't spend more than 20 minutes on the premises and he assisted in mixing the chemical. When it was my sister's turn to talk, she (Osagie) asked her to keep quiet and she should only respond to questioning." She said after the intervention of the Lagos police PRO and the ACP, Adejobi agreed to give the suspect bail. Another member of the family, Florence, said she had yet to recover from the harassment she suffered at the police formation while taking food to Blessing in the cell. She also alleged that her sister was subjected to inhuman treatment. She said, "The stench in that station was horrible and I later realised that it came from my sister's cell, where a mentally deranged woman was being held for alleged ritual dealings. "I personally went through hell. Any time I was going to give her food, they would collect a bribe of N1,000 to allow me in. "When I get in, the policemen will start touching my body, including putting hands in my private parts. "There is a particular one that has been harassing me with calls and asking me to date him. The policemen there are not normal; they wear earrings in their tongues, ears and nostrils." Call for justice  A petition was sighted on the case by the Network on Police Reform in Nigeria, calling on the new Commissioner of Police in the state, Edgal Imohimi, to investigate the matter. The petition, dated September 1, which was signed by the group's National Coordinator, Okechukwu Nwanguma, wondered why the case was transferred to the Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Cultism Squad, lamenting the role played by Adejobi, as he initially refused administrative bail to the suspect. The group said not only did Adejobi detain Blessing for three days, which violated her rights, he also collected N50,000 for bail as against the police ethos of 'bail is free'. It said, "In the first place, a case of stealing ought not to be taken to or investigated by the Anti-Kidnapping Unit… And the OC decided to do the complainant's illegal biddings, which the DPO at Ikoyi professionally refused to do. "NOPRIN is shocked at the impunity with which the OC Anti-Kidnapping assumed the role of investigator, prosecutor and executioner. He has shown obvious interest and bias in this case. The conduct of the OC manifests notoriety for corruption and abuse of police power. He is also a bad influence on other officers under him. "Police officers who sexually abuse female detainees or women who come in contact with them should not be allowed to remain in the police force. It is an egregious abuse that should be treated with great seriousness." The group called for investigations into the incident and alleged acts of misconduct and infractions of the law by the OC and some officers under him. The Lagos police spokesperson, Olarinde Famous-Cole, said the allegations had also been trending on the social media, saying the command would investigate them. In a statement on Sunday, he said the Investigating Police Officer, Sergeant Kudeinbu Sheu, had been arrested and was being interrogated at the X-Squad. He said, "The command wants to reassure members of the public that proper investigation will be carried out and the command will like to encourage the suspect, Blessing Taiwo, to come forward with relevant information to aid the police in the ongoing investigation." culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

How True? NNPC Crashes Prices Of Petrol & Cooking Gas Posted: 04 Sep 2017 03:51 AM PDT Some oil marketers, especially those dealing in petrol, are said to have dismissed these claims. The NNPC has said that its sustained, strategic intervention in supply and distribution of petroleum products, has led to significant price fall of products nationwide. A statement by Mr Ndu Ughamadu, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division in Abuja, noted that the fall was in the prices of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas. Ughamadu stated that in the last few weeks, the price of petrol fell steadily from N145 per litre to between N142 and N143 per litre in some filling stations across the country. He said a recent survey by NNPC Oil and Gas forum showed that NNPC mega and affiliate stations across the country, sold PMS for N143 per litre, while some major and independent marketers in Lagos, Abuja, Sokoto, Enugu, Delta sold between N142 and N145 per litre. He added that an independent marketer in Mosimi, Emeka Ikechukwu, said the going ex-depot prices of PMS dropped from N138 to N133.28 per litre in NNPC depots and between N130 and N131 per litre in private depots. He, however, said prices remained constant in Aba and Umuahia in Abia and Calabar in Cross River, where most independent fuel stations and major marketers were selling the product at N145 per litre. Ughamadu said the survey showed a similar trend of drop in price for cooking gas with the average price for refilling a 5kg cylinder at N2,215.96 from the former price of N2,500. He said states with the lowest average price for the 5kg LPG refill were Kaduna and Niger at N2,000; Kogi at N2,005 and Oyo at N2,033.33. "At the NNPC Mega and retail stations nationwide, a 12.5kg of cooking gas that was sold for N4,500 few months ago is now sold for N3,800, while other retail outlets sell the same quantity for N4,000. Meanwhile, a check around Abuja by NAN showed that though most filling stations retained the old price of N145 per liter, but the A.Y.M Shafa filling stations in Apo, Airport road and Kubwa expressway and Lumia Petrol sell the product at N141 per litre. culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

"You Can Slap Me, But Don't Dare Touch My Wife" – Pastor Adeboye Posted: 04 Sep 2017 03:51 AM PDT General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said he won't take it lightly with anyone who tampers with his beloved wife, Pastor Foluke. Delivering his message on 'Activating Your Destiny' at the Throne of Grace parish and National Headquarters of RCCG, Ebutte Meta, Lagos on Sunday, the revered man of God said 50 years after his wedding, he was still in honey moon with his wife. Explaining how he would deal with whoever tampers with his wife, Daddy G.O. said he would not do it physically, but report such fellow to his Father (God). His words: "Be ready to lay down your life for your partner if you're truly in love. My wife doesn't like me saying this: "You can slap me; you can lie against me, you can criticise me, it doesn't bother me, but touch my wife, I'll kill you! "I want the world to hear. They'll say if I killed they'll arrest me, jail me, that is if I killed with cutlass or gun. "If you tamper with my wife, I will talk to my Daddy and you'll sleep and will not wake." The declaration was greeted with thunderous cheers from the worshippers who were there in their thousands to worship and celebrate with the couple. culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

Patience Jonathan Recovers N2bn Hotel Seized By EFCC? Posted: 04 Sep 2017 03:21 AM PDT Patience, the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has recovered her N2bn hotel which was sealed off by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). In June, the EFCC placed the red inscriptions, 'EFCC Under Investigation' all over the hotel which is located near Setraco Construction Company, off the Mabushi Kado Expressway, Abuja. But a recent visit to the five-storey building shows that the EFCC inscriptions had been covered. When Punch correspondent knocked on the gate, three men who attended to him said they acted on the instruction of Mrs. Jonathan. When asked if they had the right to enter the building, one of them said, "Go and ask the EFCC if they had the right to put their sign all over the building in the first place. If you want more information, go and ask madam." The spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said he did not know much about the seizure of the building and thus could not say if it had been returned to Patience or not. He said, "I have spoken to the appropriate people but I was not able to get any answer on the matter." A source at EFCC said it's wrong of Patience to have erased the EFCC inscription from the building. He said, "Sometimes when we are investigating some politically exposed persons, they immediately begin to sell off their buildings in order to cover their tracks and run away with the cash so that is why we put EFCC signs on the buildings so that innocent people will not buy those buildings. "As it is, she has removed the inscriptions and can quickly sell it off." Although the hotel has not been officially valued by the EFCC, estate agents within the community said that the property should be worth about N2bn. The property, which has not yet been officially opened, has between 50 and 100 rooms, a gym, a fountain and other amenities. In his reaction, Mrs. Jonathan's lawyer, Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), said he was not aware of the seizure of the property. Adedipe said if the hotel in question was indeed seized through a court order, then the removal of the EFCC inscriptions would be of no effect. He, however, boasted that all properties and funds seized from the former first lady would be returned to her soon. culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

Young mum took her own life on her 23rd birthday over internet trolls | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 04 Sep 2017 03:17 AM PDT A young mum took her own life on her birthday after being cruelly trolled online. Leanne Morrison died on her 23rd birthday after trolls taunted her - and even after her tragic death the bullying appears to have continued.Trolls posted vile comments on Facebook as her devastated friends and family posted heartbroken tributes to the young woman. One user - whose post seems to have been deleted - was slammed by her loved ones as they called for him to "have a bit more respect" over the "hurtful comments". The mum-of-one was driven to her death after seeming to enjoy birthday celebrations with her friends. Grandmother Isabel Morrison, who raised Leanne, told the Daily Record: "I spoke to her the night before her birthday when she came to get her cards and she was in good form and looking forward to her night out. "She told me she had an appointment to see the doctor and I think she had been suffering from depression after having a few rough times recently – but no one realised how bad it was. "We are all utterly devastated. Leanne knew so many people and had so many great friends. She was the life and soul of the party and loved a night out but she lived for her wee boy and Mason is our main concern."Friends on social media also said the young mum, who leaves behind four-year-old Mason, had been depressed. Leanne had reported the online bullying to the police, according to the newspaper, and a family member said "it was bullies that drove her to this". culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

Uniformed men said to be men of the Nigerian Army have reportedly beaten to death a young man in Awka, Anambra State on the order of his father. It was gathered that the man, identified as Chibuzor, who is the only son, had an altercation with his father after he brought home the lady of his choice he wanted to marry. According to Thisday, the father had refused the choice of wife brought home by his son, insisting that the lady was older than his son.

Are You Willing To Take A Risk? Here's What To Do First Posted: 04 Sep 2017 01:51 AM PDT Risks are a part of life you can't avoid, especially if you want to be successful. As a result, you have to learn the secrets of taking risks that will help you yield the best results. Jumia Travel shares 9 of these secrets to help you learn to take risks the right way. Weigh the Risks and Benefits  Before taking risks, you have to ask yourself if the risk is worthwhile. You should consider and understand how much a risk taking ventures involves and its potential benefits. Always compare the possible consequences to the possible benefits of the risk to determine if the risk is worthwhile to you. Be Realistic About What Could Go Wrong  You should remember that it is possible for your risk not to pay off and you should thus put the consequences in perspective. You should be sure you can deal with these consequences before moving forward with the risk. Never Put Everything on the Line  This might seem counter-productive, but taking risks does not translate into recklessness. You have to be smart about it. Avoid over stretching yourself in the name of taking risks, and avoid putting all your time or cash into one venture, the odds of ruin are just too high. Always have a 'safety net' and a plan B for if the risk fails. Always Have a Plan B and Even C  This can sincerely not be over-emphasized. You should always prepare for and think of a way out of or a way to deal with any negative consequence of your risks. Please do not take risks that end up leaving you trapped in unhealthy or inhumane situations. Always plan a way out or a way to deal with the consequences before-hand. It doesn't have to be something so elaborate; it can be as simple as thinking of and having someone to go to if things go south. Think For Yourself  You are the one taking the risk, it is therefore only appropriate that you learn to think for yourself and use your common sense to reach a conclusion before moving forward. You can listen to others advice and opinions or contributions, but ultimately the decision to take the risk should be yours and should be based on your judgement and assessment of all circumstances involved. If you feel you can't trust your own judgement, seek the face of someone whose judgement you trust. Take One Risk at Time  This goes without saying. You can go 'big' but don't go 'overboard'; this should be your rule for taking risks. Taking more than one risk at time is like being a woman who decides to wear bold makeup with bold jewelry, sky-high heels and a sequined shinny dress all at once. You're going overboard and like the woman, you're more likely to fail in risk taking. Know Your Limits  Before taking risks, you should adhere to some personal guidelines. You should understand how much you are willing to tolerate and what will cause you to stop or back out completely from the venture. Adhering to safety standards that are comfortable for you, is what will keep you 'alive' during the 'dangerous' and 'uncertain' periods of your risk taking venture. Remember that Risk Taking is Relative  Everyone has different tolerance to risk taking; you should therefore never compare your risk taking tolerance to that of another person. You can push yourself beyond your comfort zone, but never do so beyond what you can handle if things go wrong. Be Positive  Once you've judged a risk as worthwhile, have planned a reasonable way to go about the risk taking venture and have prepared the appropriate safety net, try to be positive and picture everything going well. Positive thinking will help you build the confidence you need to go through the risk. culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

If he is insisting on sex before marriage, he is not the man for you - Actress Obot Etuk | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 04 Sep 2017 01:47 AM PDT  Veteran actress Obit Etuk, has dished out some marital and sex advice for young ladies out there. She took to Facebook to advise ladies from staying away from sex before marriage. According to Etuk, any man who demands for sex before marriage isn't the right man. My young lady........ if he is insisting on sex before marriage, he is not the man for you. You cannot use sex to prove love. Goats have sex. Infact, dogs have sex and everywhere too but they are not in love. If sex means love, then the prostitute should fall in love with every man she has sex with. Sex is meant for marriage young lady. Waiting is the real love. It is mark of maturity. That is the kind of man you should say yes to, not the one that wants you to compromise your virtue, pride, dignity, just to satisfy his lust. And how many will you love cos I'm sure he's not the only man you've had sex with. culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

Debates on Nigeria’s division are futile – Buhari Posted: 04 Sep 2017 01:15 AM PDT …Urges elite, leaders to sacrifice for nation's unity By Lawrence Olaoye President Muhammadu Buhari has advised against dissipating energies on debates bordering on the division of the country maintaining that Nigeria was destined to be united. The President, who was represented by his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo, gave the advice in his comments at a lunch organised by the Presidency to commemorate the 2017 Eid-Adha (Sallah) for some dignitaries yesterday at the Presidential Villa. He also called on elites, religious and political leaders to be willing to make sacrifice for the unity and survival of the country. He said "Our energies and resources shouldn't be spent again on debate about division. Our manifest destiny is to be a great nation, not to be a nation where we are talking about division. We must focus our time, our energies and our resources on being that great nation that God has called us to be. "I think we have started building that country already. "Despite all the noise that we hear, all that noise is part of the building. Everybody knows that you cannot have birth without noise. No woman delivers a baby without some noise and without some pains. "What we are hearing today are the noises and the pains of that great nation that God is about to give birth to." Osinbajo said Buhari was unavoidably absent at the lunch "because he is celebrating Sallah at home in Daura. He has not been in Daura for over a year now. So, this is an important home going for him." He continued "The significance of this celebration is the willingness of Abraham to make the great sacrifice of possibly the dearest thing to him, his son Isaac. "Obviously, anyone who knows anything at all about the kinds of things that it is a willingness to make a great sacrifice. And Abraham was able to make that sacrifice. And he made it in order to be able to fulfill his own destiny and the destiny of his people. "The message today is that our nation's elite, Muslims, Christians and all ethnicities must recognize that we also must make sacrifices, the sacrifices that are necessary to attain the destiny that God has brought unto our people. "I am one of those who is extremely confident that our nation will remain united. "Because I am convinced that God's plans and purpose for Nigeria is that we would be the preeminent black nation in the world. "This is a nation that will show forth in culture, in technology and in commerce, God's investment in the black race. "This is why today for every, some people say four blacks, some say five, one must be a Nigerian. That is not a mean attainment at all. That nation that God has in mind is a diverse nation. Diverse in resources, in ideas, in opinions. The kind of nation that we have, where there is an argument about something everywhere. Before you get tired of that lone argument, another one arise and before you finish with that one there is yet another one. "This is the type of country that God has ordained. Where we have diversity of opinions, diversity of ideas. People saying their own things here and there. But, He has also planned that this country will remain together, and that we'll be a nation that is gifted just as we have the oil, the gas, and the most arable lands than most continents.". from peoples daily I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

Eid-el Kabir clash: Discordant tunes as Ganduje, Kwankwaso shift blame Posted: 04 Sep 2017 01:15 AM PDT Ganduje vs Kwankwaso From Edwin Olofu, Kano The glamorous traditional Hawan Daushe that usually holds a day after Sallah in the ancient city of Kano was marred with violence. Armed thugs took the shine off the event, as they went berserk attacking their perceived opponents. The Kwankwasiyya political movement in kano, accused the state government of sponsoring thugs to unleash mayhem on its supporters. A statement signed by a former Commissioner of Water Resources in the state, Alhaji Yunusa Adamu Dangwani accused the state government and the security agents of masterminding the attack on their supporters. "The attack was meant to eliminate kwankwasiyya leaders in kano state as part of Governor Ganduje's plan to stop kwankwasiyya activities by all means as contained in his "Hate Speech" during the last deceitful prayer session. It is worth mentioning that, the unfortunate attack left many number of casualties including their targeted kwankwasiyya leaders such as former SSG Rabiu Bichi, Fmr Commissioners Dr. Yunusa Dangwani, Yusuf Bello Danbatta and other leader including Alhaji Yahaya Musa Kwankwaso, Comr Baba Umar, Zainab Audu Bako, and other people." In a swift reaction, the Kano state government, cautioned persons trying to foment trouble in the state to desist, otherwise the state government would take every lawful means to deal with them. The Kano government urged the police to investigate the recent clash with the aim of bringing to book the perpetrators. A statement signed by the state Commissioner of Information, Youth and Sports, Malam Muhammad Garba, distributed to newsmen in the state said the Kano state government has expressed concern over the unfortunate incident that that reportedly happened after the traditional Hawan Daushe, at the Emir's Palace in Kano, on Saturday evening. Garba, while commiserating with those injured during the dastardly act, said upon completion of investigation by the Police, the full weight of the law will be brought to bear on any person or group found to be the perpetrators of the act. "It sad that the traditional Hawan Daushe, which is an annual event showcases the rich culture and tradition of the Kanawa and indeed the Hausa people, should not be used by disgruntled elements as a platform to foment trouble." Malam Garba, assured that the state government is working with the Kano Emirate Council and the relevant security agencies, to ensure that incidents like this never happen again. The statement, however, emphasized that the government in not unaware that some perpetrators are still bent on causing trouble but it would not fold its arms in the face of any threat to peace and stability. It urged parents and guardians to be vigilante and monitor the movement of their wards to make sure that they keep good company. from peoples daily I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

FG fingers 2 coys in N100bn illegal mining deal Posted: 04 Sep 2017 01:15 AM PDT The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi By Musa Adamu Two companies, Solid Unit Limited and Geotess Nigeria Limited, that were shut down in Zurak, Wase Local Government Area of Plateau state, last month, have been implicated in alleged illegal mining activities. The illegal mining activities is said to be worth over N100 billion. The Minister of Mines and steel Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi disclosed this during a meeting with staff of the ministry in Abuja recently. Recall that 16 Chinese nationals and eight Nigerians involved in massive illegal mining were arrested in Zurak, on August 15, 2017 at the wake of the shutting down of the two companies on the orders of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Major-Gen Babagana Monguno (rtd), and the Minister when the duo visited some illegal mining sites in the richly endowed lead/zinc belt. The Chairman of Solid Unit Limited, Alhaji Usman Abubakar (aka Dan China) who is regarded as the most notorious illegal miner in the state was also declared wanted by the NSA, who ordered all security agencies to arrest him for acts seen as economic sabotage. Dr Fayemi, in the meeting attended by all cadre of the workers in the ministry, said the huge scale of illegal mining by the two companies in Wase was tantamount to economic terrorism, adding that government was determined to confront anyone or group that were out to sabotage the economy through illegal mining and other means. He said the scale of illegal mining perpetrated by the two blacklisted companies and their foreign collaborators was humongous, stressing that they used very sophisticated equipment, including a tunnel with rail track and other heavy machines for their illegal operations. He said the arrested Nigerians had been in active connivance with foreigners to carry out massive illegal mining in the state thereby depriving the country of revenue. He said: "Their unwholesome activities have also led to environmental degradation and abandoned mine pits." He said the leadership of the ministry carried out the operation that led to the closure of the illegal mining companies/sites and the arrest in a discreet manner, because of the massive network of collaborators and informants at the disposal of the companies. "We didn't want to leave anything to chance, so it was done discreetly", he said, adding that it was a successful operation, which according to him had also restored sanity to the area, which had been under the siege of illegal miners and criminal elements for some years." The arrested Nigerians and their foreign collaborators, according to him, have been handed over to the newly inaugurated Mines Division of the Nigerian Police for prosecution. Dr Fayemi informed that the ministry would adopt its own whistle blowing arrangement in order to encourage more information on illegal mining activities in the sector. The Minister, however added that the ministry would continue to guide and provide both technical and financial supports genuine artisanal and small scale miners, who abide by the rules and regulations guiding the sector. Zurak is a key location of substantial mineral deposits notably lead, zinc, copper, tin, wolframite, tantalite and other base metals. Over time the range of illegal mining activities have been recorded around the area leading to the wanton loss of revenue, minable land and social displacement of the rural communities. from peoples daily I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

No Nigerian died in Texas Hurricane Harvey – NIDO Posted: 04 Sep 2017 01:10 AM PDT No Nigerian died due to the Hurricane Harvey in Texas, the Nigerian in Diaspora Organization, NIDO, Americas, has said. Akin Awofolaju, a NIDO official, told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Sunday that the organisation had reached out to Nigerians in the area. NAN reports that the devastating hurricane made landfall in the state a week ago and has been blamed for at least 47 deaths. No fewer than 43,000 people are currently housed in shelters while 156,000 homes are reportedly affected. "So far, we don't have any Nigerian who has lost his or her life in the hurricane. We've reached out to them and they are safe. "We've spoken and have been speaking with Nigerians there; we have been reaching out to them and so far, no death has been recorded among Nigerians," he said. NAN gathered that many Nigerians in Texas whose areas are not affected by the hurricane are accommodating Nigerians that are affected, pending when the floods recede and government relief assistance. Awofolaju noted that for more than three months, relevant authorities have been telling people to evacuate, saying many people actually evacuated. "Many people listened and heeded the warnings; those who defied the warnings are most affected. "But one good thing about the U.S. is that insurance will cover most of the damages," he said. NAN reports that President Donald Trump on Saturday returned to Houston in company of First Lady Melania, praising the relief response on his second visit to Texas. The president also declared Sunday a "National Day of Prayer" for victims of Hurricane Harvey. Mr. Trump had asked Congress for $7.9 billion as an initial payment to help with recovery efforts following the flooding in both Texas and Louisiana.(NAN) from peoples daily I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.

Use recovered looted funds to settle ASUU, lawmaker urges FG Posted: 04 Sep 2017 01:10 AM PDT From Femi Oyelola, Kaduna The money recovered from the looters should be use to settle members of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) who are presently on strike, the Senator representing Kaduna Central in the Upper Chamber, Shehu Sani has advised the Federal Government. He gave the advise at a Media interaction with journalists in Kaduna yesterday. He said the money recovered from former minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison Madueke alone can be used to solve their problem and that should be done. According to him, ASUU has been deceived since 1992 by different governments sitting with them without actually addressing the fundamental issues facing the university. "So it is very easy to do. Use the monies recovered from loots and equip the public education and that will settle it. " We cannot continue to toy with future of our children with very deceptive agreement. "I as a person, I'm 100 percent with ASUU and I supported their strike and they should continue with their strike until the FG meet their demands. "If they don't strike what would they have done to press for their demand of a trade union? Would they have carried arms? "So, peaceful strike is allowed in democracy and I think the Federal Government should do something about it very quickly. "This problem was inherited byBuhari's administration but it must solve it. "And unless we have a law where people in public offices must have their wards in public schools, Nigeria public schools will continue to be a mockery. "Why should we have a law that says a public officeholder cannot own a foreign account. And we don't have a law that says your wards must attend public school within the country, these are questions we need to provide answers to," he said from peoples daily I'm glad you enjoyed the news, keep on visiting www.mrolumide.com to enjoy more interesting stories.
