List of Popular Inmates at Kuje Prison Emerges after Terrorist Attack

FCT, Abuja – Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre, popularly known as Kuje Prison, located in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was on Tuesday night, July 5, attacked by terrorists.

Hundreds of inmates, including all the Boko Haram members in custody, were freed in the attack.

Though there were media reports claiming some high-profile inmates also escaped, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Umar Abubakar, confirmed that they were still in custody.

Here are some prominent inmates at the prison as listed by Daily Trust.

Abba Kyari

Abba Kyari, Deputy Commissioner of Police and former head of the IGP Intelligence Response Team (IRT), was arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), over his alleged involvement in the 25 kg c*ocaine deal.

He is being remanded at the prison on the order of a Federal High Court.

A federal high court had on March 28 remanded Kyari and four others at a correctional centre after their bail application was refused.

Joshua Dariye

Joshua Dariye, a former governor of Plateau state was sentenced to 14 years in prison after being dragged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over money laundering and alleged diversion of about N1.26 billion.

The sentence was later appealed and eventually, the Supreme Court gave a final verdict of a 10 years sentence for the offence committed.

He was serving his sentence in Kuje, but on April 14, 2022, the federal government granted him a presidential pardon. However, he is still in custody while perfecting his exit, according to Daily Trust.

Peter Nwachukwu

Peter Nwachukwu is the husband of the late gospel singer, Osinachi.

A Federal Capital Territory High Court had ordered that he be remanded in Kuje Custodial Centre pending the hearing and determination of the alleged h*omicide charge filed against him by the Attorney-General of the Federation.

Abdulrasheed Maina

A former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Force Team is being remanded at the Kuje Custodial Centre, pending the conclusion of his trial.

He is being prosecuted by the EFCC on N2bn money laundering charges.

Jolly Nyame

Jolly Nyame is a former governor of Taraba state. He was charged with N1.64 billion fraud and admitted to misappropriating N180 million out of N250 million meant for stationaries in Taraba state and offered to return the same.

Nyame was in 2018 convicted and sentenced to 14 years in Kuje prison. Like, Dariye, Nyame was also granted a presidential pardon, though he is still in custody.

Wadume

Hamisu Bala, popularly known as Wadume, is a kidnap kingpin. He was based in Taraba state but operated across the northern part of the country.

He was arrested in August 2019 by the IRT and preliminary investigation revealed that he supplied arms and ammunition to terrorists.

Wadume was arraigned on June 8, 2020 along with six others on a 13 count-charge bordering on terrorism and remanded in Kuje.

Kuje prison break: Buhari reacts

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed disappointment with the Intelligence system, following the terrorists’ attack on Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje.

After inspecting the attack scene on Wednesday, July 6, the president faulted the intelligence system at Kuje prison.

“I am disappointed with the intelligence system. How can terrorists organise, have weapons, attack a security installation and get away with it,” he said.

Joe Igbokwe, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, has deleted a Facebook post that the presidential candidate of the party had a meeting with Nyesom Wike in France.

Igbokwe had posted that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, who lost the presidential ticket of the opposition party to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar met with the ruling party Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in France.

Netizens had dismissed Igbokwe’s claim and demanded pictorial evidence.

However, moments after Igbokwe’s post went viral, it was no longer found on his page.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Igbokwe claimed that Wike visited Tinubu in France.

“While they are on social media abusing everybody, Governor Wike goes to France to meet Asiwaju. Abuse, calling names, hate, and bigotry are no strategy. They hated and abused PMB (President Muhammadu Buhari) since 2015 and now they have transferred the aggression to Asiwaju. We wait and see,” he wrote.

A check on Igbokwe’s wall this morning showed that the post had disappeared.

On 28 May 2022, 28-year old Ilesanmi Ade-Ademola, a House of Representatives aspirant for the Ekiti Central Federal Constituency II seat barely escaped assassination as the All Progressives Congress primary election in the constituency descended into chaos. Subsequently, the current House of Representatives member, Omowumi Ogunlola, who was also seeking a re-election ticket, accused the agents of her co-contestant and the former Chief of Staff to Governor Kayode Fayemi, Mr. Biodun Omoleye, of masterminding the violence.

Barely a month later, the party decided to anoint the same Biodun Omoleye as the party’s candidate for the seat, totally disregarding the financial, mental and physical implications that such decision would have on other aspirants who have spent millions of naira on their campaigns.

In the same breath, the party’s highly-controversial National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, claimed that the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, participated in the Yobe North senatorial district primary election and deserved to be recognised as the party’s candidate to represent the senatorial district. Asked why the APC replaced Machina, the winner initially announced by the party with Lawan in the senatorial candidates list, Adamu said he does not have time for “negativities”. He claims that the Senate President participated within the approved timeline and journalists should “go and find out from the person who is responsible for organising the primary”.

Basically, the party leader wants Nigerians to believe that the Senate President participated in the recent presidential primary, while also contesting for the senatorial seat – at the same time.

A common refrain among many APC leaders is the intent of the party to “rule for (insert the longest years possible). According to the erstwhile party chairman, “I believe it is important for me to reach out to all leaders of our party; the youth, the women, different organisations to tell them that we must come together to get our party to run for the next 30, 40, 50 years by the grace of God”. However, it is hard to reconcile this ambition with the lack of internal democracy that has dominated the primaries. Machina’s current experience depicts one of the many examples of an APC that chooses to eat its young.

Apart from several serving lawmakers who are already making the switch to different political parties, hundreds of young, rising politicians are now staring at their political ambitions left in tatters due to the decisions of the APC honchos to gift contested seats to those they prefer, in violation of the norms of internal democracy. Recently, Shina Peller, the federal lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency also just renounced his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and explained that his decision was due to the undemocratic actions of some party members within the Oyo State APC who, he said, are determined to take the youth and majority for granted.

Also, it is also important to recall that Kolapo Kola-Daisi, an aspirant for the Oyo South Senatorial District, had to switch parties after he was already declared winner, having initially scored the majority of 212 votes, while his closest contender, Alhaji Sharafadeen Alli polled 107 votes in the senatorial primary held on May 29, 2022. He alleged that the election was, however, arbitrarily cancelled and within 24 hours, a rerun was scheduled to hold on the 31st of May, 2022, which he lost.

The widely-known instances concerning Kolapo Kola-Daisi (Oyo South Senatorial District), Shina Peller, Ilesanmi Ade-Ademola, and many others, including the decision to place the cost of its presidential, governorship and senatorial nomination forms at ₦100million, ₦50million and ₦10million respectively does not bode well for a party that, according to President Muhammadu Buhari, “must be made attractive for young people to take ownership of the party”. Sadly, a single narrative has emerged from the mouths of these young politicians in the party – APC has no regard for young people.

First, the evident nepotism, chicanery, deception, and political bullying only serves to drive the narrative that older, richer and connected party members will always prefer to use the party funds and machinery to pursue their own opportunities. Second, the message of the APC is clear: the playing field is not level. Or to borrow from George Orwell’s Animal Farm would say, all the candidates are equal, but some are more equal than others.

For any young patriotic young Nigerian seeking to contribute his quota to national development, all indications will lead anyone to conclude that such dreams would remain unachieved in such a party.

Osun PDP Congratulates Adeleke, Says Party’s Candidate Emerges Fans Favourite of BBC News Debate

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, for emerging as “fans favourite” in the debate hosted by BBC News, Yoruba World Service, AMILOADED reports.

The party congratulated Adeleke in a statement signed by the Osun PDP Caretaker Chairman, Dr Akindele Adekunle, on Thursday.

According to Adekunle, Senator Adeleke emerged as the favorite of followers of the online news channel after an astonishing performance on the debate, depicting a man that is prepared and ready for masses driven administration.

He added, “Senator Adeleke had during the program appreciated the fact that Osun people have been passing through a harrowing experience in the hands of Apc administration in the state.

“The PDP Candidate marshalled points for points his blueprints prepared to tackle the seeming economic degradation ravaging the state.”

Adekunle further assured the people of Osun State that “Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke as a well entrenched son of the soil, has in line with humane tradition of PDP, documented all SOS petitions before him as the next governor of Osun State and will be addressed with passion as one who connects with the people and their pains

“The debate venue unsurprisingly became a home match for the PDP Candidate, because he is a man with a very good and passionate heart. Senator Ademola Adeleke has a pure heart that will continue to lead his way as he has nothing to pretend about, Akindele declared.”

He added that PDP will continue to support Senator Adeleke to deliver on his “electoral promises and apply soothing balm on the excruciating pains they are going through”.

“It gladdens our hearts that Senator Ademola Adeleke has once again demonstrated his passion for welfare of his people, especially the pensioners in Osun State. Any time we have audience with him, he is always close to tears while addressing Pensioners’ unpalatable experience in the State

” Senator Adeleke would at times go spiritual to liken wicked attitude of Apc administration to the plight of aged civil servants as a sin. Our Candidate would not mince words to describe owing anyone who burns his God given energy and acquired skill to serve a system or organization.

“Any society wanting to prosper, must therefore not falter on paying agreed wages with such laborer, either active or retired. This much our candidate emphasized today on the BBC Yoruba Debate which has gone a long way to convince us that Senator Ademola Adeleke is indeed ready to serve Osun State and we are proud of him,” Akindele stated.

The PDP chairman also praised Senator Adeleke for his passion for agriculture revolution in the state at any given opportunity.

The chairman affirmed readiness of the PDP to revamp this in all important sector as a farming friendly environment.

The party according to him, has concluded plans to make agriculture so attractive to intending farmers by investing in basic infrastructures as applicable in other civilized clines, which will make that sector a super hub of attraction.

The PDP also expressed appreciation to members of the public for the support for its candidate, with a promise not to betray the trust being invested in the party.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday saw its members abandon the ruling party and defect to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Prominent among those that defected was the former state chairman of PDP, Chief Charles Babatunde Ezekwem, former Commissioner for Foreign Affairs under Governor Hope Uzodimma, Febian Ihekweme, Frank Onwumere former LGA Chairman of Okigwe among others.

Speaking at the reception for the National Secretary of PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, organised by the state party chapter in Owerri which attracted party chieftains from various parts of the country, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State called for synergy, unity of purpose among members for the party to regain power both at the state and national levels.

He said: “Nigerians are angry, and frustrated because the APC has failed them and we should all unite and push them away and reclaim our positions both at the national and state-level.”

He, however, warned against any form of factions among members of the party, adding that propaganda, blackmail and all forms of sabotage must be avoided for us to present a common front.

He described the APC as a house divided against itself which he said manifested in its inability to hold its national convention.

He said: “A party that is unable to hold its convention, is it fit to rule Nigeria? Look as at how PDP organised its convention without rancour and this is the only party that is fit to rule the nation”.

He warned the Imo electorates that the greatest mistake they would make is to allow Governor Uzodimma to come back to power.

Also speaking, a former Governor of Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha advised members of the party to be careful of those who might want to destabilise the party in order to pave way for other parties to secure victories.

The chairman BOT of the party Senator Wale Jubril said that a PDP controlled Federal Government next year will reposition the economy, tackle the security challenges rocking the nation, embark on massive provision of infrastructure as well as job creation for the youths.

He described Senator Anyanwu as a seasoned politician and a technocrat who had brought honour to the party through exemplary services.

He, therefore, pleaded with members of the party to vote massively for the party to end their sufferings and hardship.

In the diet for hypertension, it is important to prioritize the consumption of natural foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, oilseeds, dairy products, and legumes, because they are rich in fibers, minerals, such as calcium and potassium, and antioxidants, nutrients that improve blood circulation, helping lower blood pressure.

Besides, in this diet, it is also recommended to reduce the intake of industrialized foods, such as soft drinks and fast foods, and foods rich in saturated fat, such as red meat, sausages, and bacon, because they can increase the levels of sodium in the organism and facilitate the formation of fat plaques in the arteries, causing an increase in blood pressure.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, happens when blood has difficulty circulating in the blood vessels, causing the heart to beat harder, which can lead to complications such as arrhythmia, stroke, and kidney failure.

Foods that should be prioritised


According to healthline, the foods that must be prioritized in the diet for hypertension are those rich in fiber, minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, healthy fats, and antioxidants, such as:

Low-fat and sugar-free dairy products, such as semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, skimmed yogurt, and cottage cheese.

Fresh fruits, preferably natural, like grapes, tangerines, avocados, strawberries, acerola, watermelon, bananas, oranges, and pears.

Whole-grain cereals, such as brown rice, whole-grain pasta, whole-grain bread, and oatmeal.

Vegetables, such as pumpkin, cucumber, tomato, onion, garlic, pepper, and yam.

Vegetables such as broccoli, watercress, lettuce, and cabbage.

Legumes, such as beans, chickpeas, lentils, and lupins.

Low-fat proteins, such as tofu, fish, chicken, turkey, and eggs.

In addition, some foods such as olive oil, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, and Brazil nuts contain high amounts of healthy fats with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that improve blood circulation, helping to lower high blood pressure.

Some teas, such as ginger, green tea, hibiscus, and valerian, have diuretic, antioxidant, and relaxing properties, and can also be used to help control hypertension.

Foods that should be avoided


The foods that must be avoided in the diet for hypertension are the ones rich in saturated fat, such as whole dairy products and fatty meats, and foods rich in sugar and salt, such as:

Embedded foods, such as ham, sausages, , salami, and bacon.

Canned and tinned foods like tuna, corn, olives, peas, pickles, and sardines.

Ready-made sauces and seasonings, such as ketchup, soy sauce, English sauce, mayonnaise, salad dressings, and mustard.

Foods rich in fat, such as pizza, hamburgers, packaged biscuits, and fried food in general.

Meats with high fat content, such as rump steak, shoulder steak, sirloin, pork steak, and ribs.

Alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, and sparkling wine.

Foods rich in sugar, such as soft drinks, boxed juices, chocolate, cake, ice cream, and jam.

Salty meats, such as beef jerky, sun-dried meat, charque, and codfish.

Besides, it is important to avoid dairy products with high fat content, such as parmesan cheese, prato cheese, cheddar and Swiss cheese, besides whole yogurt and whole milk, because these foods favour weight gain and the accumulation of fat plaques in the arteries, hindering blood circulation and causing an increase in blood pressure.

In the diet to fight hypertension, it is recommended to avoid adding salt when preparing food, and it is recommended to replace this ingredient with herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, parsley, curry, turmeric, rosemary, oregano, and basil.

The Imo State Police Commissioner, Rabiu Hussaini, on Wednesday, linked the killing of two traditional rulers in the State to members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Eastern Security Network, ESN.

Hussaini disclosed that the Njaba Local Government Council did not inform the police about the meeting with traditional rulers where gunmen killed two of the rulers, NAN reports.

Unknown gunmen had killed some traditional rulers during their meeting at Nnenasa community, Njaba Local Government Area of the State on Tuesday.

However, the Commissioner disclosed that he deployed his men to the venue of the incident on getting the information.

In a statement by the State Command’s spokesman, CSP Mike Abattam, the Commission said: “Since hoodlums razed Njaba Police Division and killed two officers, only policemen on vehicular patrol were posted to the area to help check crime.

“When the command got wind of the attack, the Commissioner of police mobilised the command’s tactical unit to the meeting venue to foil the attack.

“At about 3p.m., information was received that hoodlums, suspected to be members of the proscribed Independent People of Biafra/Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN) were attacking the venue.

“It was at where the Transitional Chairman of Njaba Local Government Council, Mr Emeka Ihenacho, was holding a meeting with some tranditional rulers.

“The Commissioner of police immediately dispatched the command’s tactical team to the scene and on their arrival, they were informed that the hoodlums had fled into the bush on sighting the police.

“At the scene, it was revealed that the council’s transitional chairman had invited and was having a meeting with 15 traditional rulers of Njaba communities without informing the police or other security agencies.

“While the meeting was in progress, bandits suspected to be IPOB/ESN members came and started shooting at them indiscriminately, after which they ran back into the bush.”

People believe that Churches are a place of worship where people gather to communicate to their creator at all times. There are worshippers in most churches, both the young, the old, and every gender is present.

But in recent times, pastors are the ones who mislead the same people.

However, some fake pastors who are out to make it, by all means, have turned away from doing the right things, and they have started some acts that are causing worshippers to walk away from God.

Here are some bad acts some pastors do.

In the past, I have instances where some pastors are sleeping with church members. Some of the pastors manipulates their church members that if they sleep with them, they shall receive blessings and get cured; thus, this people will have no options but to do as this pastor wanted.

Another way is that some pastors can be seen touching the sensitive parts of their followers while praying for them.

This act is immoral, and it should be greatly condemned.

In other places, we have heard of pastors and church elders fighting over leadership in churches. You can find that some pastors prefer some people over others. Thus they will fight for those people who prefer to get top seats in those churches.

Another arising behavior is that some pastors exploit people by telling them to send them specific amounts of money to pray and do miracles. Let’s be against these Behaviors and help our churches to maintain their purity by helping to behave in manners that are required and encouraged in our churches.

The church’s roles of praying and repenting should always remain and remove the bad behaviours occurring in them anytime.

•End of godfatherism has come –Atiku

Our correspondents

Yesterday, prominent Nigerians and groups from all political divides led by President Muhammadu Buhari congratulated the Edo State governor and candidate of the PDP in Saturday’s election, Godwin Obaseki for winning a second term in office.

President Buhari commended the election process which led to the victory of Governor Obaseki as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In a statement by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Buhari urged Obaseki to show grace and humility in victory.

The President Buhari said:

“My commitment to free and fair elections is firm, because without free and fair elections, the foundation of our political and moral authority will be weak.

“I have consistently advocated for free and fair elections in the country because it is the bedrock of true democratic order.

Democracy will mean nothing if the votes of the people don’t count or if their mandate is fraudulently tampered with.”

He commended the people of Edo State, the parties, candidates and security agencies for conducting themselves responsibly.

Meanwhile, Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said that the victory Godwin Obaseki, has marked the end of god-fatherism in the country.

Atiku, in a statement, yesterday, congratulated the PDP) for standing with the people of Edo State in good and bad times.

The former vice president, who stated that he knows Obaseki to be a magnanimous man, urged the APC governorship candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, to accept the hand of fellowship, which the Edo governor will extend to him.

“There is a new dawn in Edo State, and the hard won victory of Governor Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki is not just a victory, but a Declaration of Independence from the anti democratic forces of god-fatherism and militarism. No victory could be sweeter than this, and I heartily congratulate the governor, and the good people of Edo State for their resilience in the face of the forces arrayed against them,” he said.

The office of the New York Attorney General will start proactively releasing police body camera footage in situations of officer involved killings of unarmed civilians, New York Attorney General Letitia James

(D) sfaid Sunday.

The policy reverses rules that left the release of such footage up to the discretion of local authorities, James said at a press conference

in Rochester, N.Y.

“This is footage we obtain as part of investigations, conducted by our special prosecutions unit. Up until now, release of footage has been up to the discretion of local authorities, but this process has caused confusion, delays, and has hampered transparency in a system that should be as open as possible,” James said. “Starting immediately, the office of attorney general will now be proactively releasing video footage to the public on our own.”

James said the new policy will avoid leaving the public in the dark, as she said occurred in the death of Daniel Prude in Rochester police custody in March. Prude died of asphyxiation in March after local police put a hood over his head and pressed his head to a street for two minutes. His death only gained attention after his family released records and footage earlier this month.

James said her office will aim to release footage quickly, after it is shown to the deceased’s family. She also said her office will take privacy concerns into consideration.

“We will move as swiftly as possible so that the public no longer has to wait months and months before seeing videos in possession of law enforcement,” James said. “This new policy will help to prevent instances where the public has been kept in the dark for far too long, such as what happened in the Prude case.”

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren (D) fired the city’s chief of police and suspended its city attorney last week in the aftermath of Prude’s death.

As the dusts on the controversial legalization of homosexuality in Ghana seems to have settled, a picture has once again resurrected the topic

Pictures showing yet to be identified Ghanaian lesbians tying the knot has gone viral.

Unconfirmed reports suggests that the two love birds got married in a private ceremony in Holland.

One of the pictures show the ladies beautifully dressed in Ghanaian made kente while another also show the ladies dressed in their white wedding apparel.

Many have criticised the ladies for embarrassing the the nation outside the shores of Ghana.

The discussion on homosexuality became very prominent in recent times after president Akufo Addo in an interview with Al Jazeera news opined that Ghana may legalize homosexuality should there be strong demand for it.

The Nigeria Police Force on Sunday said it has commenced investigations into a viral video that showed a policeman in uniform smoking shisha.

The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), DCP Frank MBA, revealed this in a statement on Sunday, adding that the investigation will amongst other things seek to forensically establish the authenticity of the video, the true identity of the man in the uniform – whether he is in fact a policeman, an impostor or an actor in a movie scene.

Mba said further: “However, while not being prejudicial to the ongoing investigations, it is necessary to state that the character exhibited by the man in the uniform is not a true reflection of who we are as a regimented law enforcement agency – our trainings, discipline, norms and tradition.”

The Force spokesman also called on members of the public with useful information that can assist police investigations to provide same via the following; pressforabuja@police.gov.ng, or DM on the police social media platforms.

A video of a policeman in uniform smoking shisha went up on social media. Though his face was not clearly shown, the man in the video appeared in the uniform of the Nigeria Police Force. He could also be seen drinking what appeared to be an alcoholic beverage.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has said it spent a total of N41.98bn on pipeline repairs and management cost in the first half of this year, TopNaija reports.

The NNPC disclosed this in its latest monthly oil report, saying, “Products theft and vandalism have continued to destroy value and put NNPC at disadvantaged competitive position.”

A total of 1,067 vandalised points were recorded between June 2019 and June 2020, according to the corporation. It said a total of 33 pipeline points were vandalised in June 2020, representing about 11 per cent decrease from the 37 points recorded in May.

The NNPC said, “Mosimi-Ibadan accounted for 33 per cent while ATC-Mosimi and Warri-River Niger recorded 27 per cent of the breaks each; other locations make up for the remaining 13 per cent.

“NNPC in collaboration with the local communities and other stakeholders continuously strive to reduce and eventually eliminate this menace.”

In August, the NNPC called on investors to bid for the repairs of pipelines and depots across the country, adding that the rehabilitation of the facilities would be done through a build, operate and transfer model.

Poor maintenance and vandalism have left many of the depots and pipelines idle for years, with the number of fuel tankers on the roads increasing and wreaking havoc.

The corporation spent N5.48bn on pipeline repairs and management cost in January; N6.74bn in February; N7.69bn in March; N7.84bn in April; N7.99bn in May and N6.24bn in June.

The corporation noted that over the years, the pipeline network had suffered incessant unauthorised interference, adding that this was one of the strongest drivers for the introduction of horizontal directional drilling to the scope of the project. It said the new pipelines would have intrusion detection and cathode protection systems to complement the deep burial.

“In addition, these facilities have aged over the years giving rise to frequent failures and consequent operational downtimes, high maintenance cost and revenue losses,” the NNPC added.

Between 1976 and 1989, the government, through the NNPC, built three refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna, in addition to an existing one in Port Harcourt, which was built by Shell and BP in 1965 (later bought over by the NNPC).

The NNPC installed a network of pipelines across the country, totalling over 5,000 kilometres in length, to facilitate crude supply to the refineries and products evacuation from them.

The network consists of 4,315 km of multi-product pipelines and 701km of crude oil pipelines, inter-connecting 22 fuel depots, the four refineries, and the jetties at Atlas Cove and Warri.

Tomas Francis of Exeter is tackled by Tom Hudson

Exeter booked their place in the Gallagher Premiership play-offs with three games to spare after beating Gloucester 35-22 at Sandy Park.

The runaway league leaders posted a seventh successive Premiership win and look unstoppable as they target a fifth Twickenham final appearance on the bounce.

A Gloucester team showing 15 changes battled hard but ultimately could not contain their opponents, with Exeter scoring tries through hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie, No 8 Sam Simmonds, lock Jonny Hill, wing Ian Whitten and scrum-half Jack Maunder.

Captain Joe Simmonds kicked five conversions, and the only downbeat note for Exeter was seeing their Scotland international full-back Stuart Hogg limp off in the 55th minute.

Hogg pulled up after an Exeter attack, with his early departure coming 10 days before Chiefs' Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final against Northampton.

Gloucester's best moments came early in the game, and they briefly led by a point after former England wing Matt Banahan's try and a Billy Twelvetrees penalty, while Banahan added a second touchdown and flanker Josh Gray also crossed, with Twelvetrees landing two conversions.

Exeter were guilty of unforced errors at times, especially in the first half, yet it proved to be another case of job done, and a 15th Premiership victory from 19 starts means they march on.

Exeter, unbeaten at home in the Premiership since January, were off and running inside four minutes when Cowan-Dickie powered his way over Gloucester's line from close range.

Simmonds converted, but Gloucester responded impressively and scored from their opening attack three minutes later thanks to a powerful finish from Banahan.

And the visitors continued to impress, putting Exeter under pressure inside their own 22 and gaining a penalty that Twelvetrees kicked for an 8-7 lead.

Gloucester had rattled their opponents, and some of Chiefs' back play misfired badly, but Exeter delivered a second try midway through the second quarter, driving relentlessly from a lineout before Sam Simmonds touched down.

His brother again added the extras, yet it was largely unconvincing from Exeter with the countdown firmly under way to their European showdown with Saints on Sunday week.

They began to control territory, though, and Hill pounced for Exeter's third touchdown on the stroke of half-time.

Simmonds' conversion secured a 13-point interval advantage, while Gloucester had lock Charlie Beckett sin-binned as referee Christophe Ridley ran out of patience with the visitors' repeated technical offending.

It took Exeter 60 seconds of the second period to secure a bonus point, and it came following a scintillating break by Hogg.

He broke clear from deep inside his own half, and although Gloucester defenders managed to haul him down, they ran out of numbers when Exeter moved possession wide, allowing Whitten to sprint over.

Simmonds' fourth successful conversion meant Gloucester were 20 points adrift, and Exeter's fifth try quickly followed, with Maunder the latest beneficiary of impressive approach work.

Banahan's second score reflected a resilient effort by the visitors, and they continued taking it to Exeter despite being well adrift on the scoreboard.

And Gloucester had the final say when Gray won the race to the line after he kicked into space, and Twelvetrees converted.

Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has ordered operators in the power sector to carry out mass metering of unmetered customers nationwide, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission announced on Wednesday night.

In a tweet via its official Twitter handle, the NERC also declared that it had not approved any increase in electricity tariffs, as reported in some quarters on Wednesday.

The commission said, “The President has directed that there should be a nationwide mass-metering programme in an effort by the Federal Government to put a stop to estimated and arbitrary billing for electricity.

“He has also approved a waiver of the import levy on meters, so that those that do not have meters can be supplied as early as possible at reasonable costs.”

On tariffs, the NERC stated, “The general public and all stakeholders in the power sector are by this statement urged to disregard any reports of an arbitrary tariff increase affecting Nigerians.”

The information tweeted by the NERC was signed by its Chairman, John Momoh, as the commission further clarified that tariff reviews going forward would only follow service-based principles.

It stated that under these service-based principles, power distribution companies would only be able to review tariff rates for customers when they consult with customers, commit to increasing the number of hours of supply per day and quality of service.

It said, “In all cases, poor and vulnerable Nigerians will not experience any increase.

“In line with these expectations, Discos are directed to engage with their customers on a Service Based Tariff structure.”

The NERC said under the Service-Based Tariff Structure, Discos could only review tariffs for customers under the condition that customers were consulted and communicated a guaranteed level of electricity service by the Discos based on hours of supply.

It said customers would also be metered, adding that no estimated billing based on the strict enforcement of the capping regulation.

“This means that unmetered customers will not experience any cost increase beyond what is chargeable to metered customers in the same area,” the regulator said.

It added, “Even under the above conditions, there will be no change in tariff for the most vulnerable as tariffs for those consuming 50KW or less remain frozen.”

It said customers receiving less than 12 hours of supply would also not experience any change in tariffs.

If you probably thought having sex during your pregnancy was dangerous to your baby’s health, here are some reasons why you shouldn’t be afraid at all.

Blood supply doubles up during pregnancy to meet the requirements of the mother and child. Increased circulation is one of the importance of sex during pregnancy period.

With the release of hormones, sex restores the adequate supply of oxygen and nutrition to the foetus to aid growth and development.
Speeds up post-partum recovery.

Orgasms during sex during pregnancy prepare the pelvic muscles for birth which in turn speeds up postpartum recovery.
Induces labour and easy delivery

This can best be known as the most important reason as every woman desires to have an easy delivery.

Having an orgasm spurs your uterus to contract therefore regular sex during pregnancy helps to contract the pelvic muscles and open the cervix. This helps in a normal delivery as the process of labour becomes easier and does not need any external help to bring the baby out.

Some doctors even suggest having sex closer to your due date to induce labour.
Reduces the risk of high blood pressure

Having a healthy blood pressure is always a good thing. But it’s especially important when you have a baby on board since high blood pressure is linked to the pregnancy complication preeclampsia.
Reduces stress and pain

Although pregnancy is usually a happy time, it’s normal to worry about things like work and how your life will change after your baby is born. Oxytocin, the love hormone that your body releases when you have an orgasm, can help to negate some of that stress and also help you sleep better.

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered a speedy and coordinated investigation into the corruption scandal in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

He explained that the President gave the directive for better coordination among security and investigating agencies with the National Assembly.

Shehu believes this will ensure that the effort of the present administration to bring sanity, transparency, and accountability to the management of the large amount of resources dedicated to the development of the Niger Delta sub-region is not derailed.

He stated that the President has noted the unfolding drama, including attacks and counterattacks between and around persons, institutions, and the NDDC.

“President Buhari expressed his strong determination to get to the root of the problem undermining the development of the Niger Delta and its peoples in spite of enormous national resources voted year after year for this singular purpose,” the statement said.

It added: “According to the directive, auditing firms and investigative agencies working in collaboration with National Assembly Committees to resolve the challenges in the NDDC must initiate actions in a time-bound manner and duly inform the Presidency of the actions being taken.”

A Chain Of Drama

Buhari also directed the timely sharing of information and knowledge in a way that would speedily assist the administration to identify what had gone wrong in the past and what should be done to make corrections in order to return the NDDC to its original mandate of making life better for people in Niger Delta.

He said the administration would bring about “rapid, even, and sustainable development to the region.”

The President also gave a firm assurance that his administration would put in place a transparent and accountable governance framework, not only in the NDDC but in all other institutions of government.

Prior to the directive for a speedy and coordinated investigation, the corruption scandal in the NDDC had triggered a series of drama, blames, and counter-accusations among others.

Amid the controversy, the National Assembly probed the allegation of fraud said to have been perpetrated by the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the agency.

This led to another round of exchange of blame between the former IMC led by Dr Joy Nunieh and Professor Kemebradikumo Pondei over the discrepancies in the NDDC’s 2019 budget.

The controversy took a new twist on Thursday when a team of security operatives stormed Nunieh’s residence in Port Harcourt in an attempt to arrest her.

Nunieh, however, reached out to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, who swiftly responded to her distress call and came with his aides to challenge and stop the attempted arrest.
