Sokoto — The Polytechnic of Sokoto State has dismissed 77 students for exam malpractices.

A statement signed on Monday by the Rector of the Polytechnic, Prof. Bashir Garba, a copy of which was made available to Vanguard in Sokoto, explained that the Academic Board of the institution had approved the dismissal of the affected students.

According to the Rector, “about 202 students had their semester cancelled while examination papers of 44 others were also cancelled,” he said adding, “at least 23 students were discharged and cleared of any malpractice.”

“Some of the offenses include entering the exam hall with note books, copying answers from fellow students and exchange of exam booklets and the inability of the affected students to appear before the Examination Malpra-ctice Committee,” he pointed out.

PORT HARCOURT – UNIVERSITY of Port
Harcourt, Rivers State, has declared seven
days of mourning for three of its
students killed by irate mobs at
Omokere-Aluu community, Friday, last
week.
Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof.
Joseph Ajienka, who spoke to newsmen,
yesterday, at the main campus of the
university, described the killing of the
students as a horrendous crime.

Stressing that the university would not
tolerate any act of jungle justice, he
commiserated with the bereaved
families. He said the university had to
suspend its students’ union week, which
was to have commenced yesterday, in
honour of the deceased students and
also declared seven days mourning
period, which would end on Sunday.

He said the three deceased persons
confirmed to be students of the
university were Biringa Lordson, a year
two Theatre Arts student; Ugonna
Obuzor, a year two Geology student and
Mike Toku, a year two Civil Engineering
student.

He said the fourth person killed
alongside the other three was Tekena
Erikena, adding that efforts were still on
to confirm if he was a student of the
university.

The Vice Chancellor said though the
university had declared seven days
mourning period for the deceased
students, which took off yesterday, the
university was still in session.

He dismissed allegations in some
quarters that students of the university
were mobilizing to storm Omokere-Aluu
community, where the killing took place
on a reprisal attack.
Prof Ajienka, who was flanked by other
principal officers of the university, called
on security operatives to fish out those
behind the killings.

When Vanguard visited the community
yesterday, some residents were seen
relocating to neighbouring areas. They
told our correspondent that they were
running from arrest by security
operatives.

Some of them who spoke on strict
condition of anonymity, said they had
been living at the mercy of armed
robbers in the community within the last
six months.

Agbor – Retired Major General Frank
Osokogu, father of late Cynthia Osokogu,
has expressed confidence in Nigeria’s
judiciary, saying that he was sure justice
would be done in the case of his
daughter’s death.

The late Cynthia was found dead in a
hotel room in Lagos on July 26, after she
was declared missing by her family three
days earlier. She was allegedly killed by
her assailants on July 22.

Four suspects, including two university
undergraduates, were later arrested in
connection with the incident and the
case had been taken to court.

The remains of the late Cynthia were
committed to earth on Friday at Owa
Ekei, Agbor, Delta.

Speaking to newsmen at the occasion,
the father of the deceased said that he
was impressed with the way the
investigation and court process of his
late daughter were handled.

He commended the police for what he
described as “wonderful job so far’’, and
urged the force to always rise to
occasions that needed its
professionalism in order to make the
force a true friend of the public.

He said that the death of Cynthia, who
would have been 24 years in November,
had created a big vacuum in his family
but stated that the family had no choice
than bear the loss.
“Life must go on because what you
cannot change, you will accept.’’

He commended the media for their
support and appealed for demonstration
of the same zeal in covering the court
proceedings on the case.

The remains of the late Cynthia,
conveyed in a Volvo ambulance with
registration number LY 616 EKY, arrived
at her father’s compound at Agbor at
2.55 p.m.

Her remains were interred in the
compound at 3.55 p.m. after a brief
Christian ceremony conducted by Rev. Fr.
Leonard Biachi, the Parish Priest of Saint
Dominic’s Catholic Church, Boji Boji, Owa.

The first attempt to bury the late Cynthia
on Sept. 7 was aborted when the police
were said to have refused to release her
body on grounds that they had not
concluded autopsy on it.

But a funeral mass scheduled for the day
was conducted and persons who had
arrived for the burial attended the mass
and later commiserated with the family.

Guests at the Sept. 7 aborted burial
included Gov. Emmanuel Uduaghan of
Delta, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, Dr Festus
Okubor, Chief of Staff, Government
House, Asaba and top military personnel
and traditional chiefs in the area.

Until her death, Cynthia was a post-
graduate student at the Nassarawa State
University, Keffi, where she obtained her
first degree. (NAN)

Underarm antiperspirants could
be linked to an increased risk of
breast cancer, claims a scientist.

Dr Philippa Darbre, a cancer
researcher at the University of
Reading, says the latest research
suggests the ingredients found
in many over-the-counter
products could trigger the
development of tumours.
She believes compounds of
aluminium and zirconium in the
cosmetics could affect hormone
levels, raising the risk of cancer.

The substances help prevent sweating in
roll- on and spray underarm antiperspirants.
Though some simple deodorants, designed
just to mask odour, do not contain them,
most do.
Antiperspirants prevent sweating, while
deodorants are simply designed to make
people smell more appealing.
Manufacturers insist products are entirely
safe.

They declared themselves ' baffled' by Dr
Darbre's conclusions, pointing out that
several large studies have failed to find any
link between cosmetics and cancer.

In Britain, new cases of breast cancer have
doubled from about 20,000 a year in the
late 1970s to almost 40,000 a year now.
Britain has one of the world's highest rates
of the disease and every year about 13,000
British women die from it.
Britons are also big users of deodorants and
antiperspirants, spending £400m a year on
them.

Dr Darbre, a cancer researcher in the
department of cell and molecular biology at
Reading, has just published a
comprehensive review of research on the
issue, which she has been investigating for
almost a decade.
"The nature of the chemicals in these
cosmetics and the lack of any advice about
safe quantity or frequency of application,
should be of concern," she says.
Dr Darbre claims the strongest evidence for
the theory is the 'disproportionately high
incidence' of breast cancer in the upper
outer quadrant of the breast where
antiperspirants are applied.

Her review, published in the Journal of
Applied Toxicology, points out that the rise
of breast cancer in men parallels the
increase in women, and has also doubled
over the past three decades to about 300
cases a year.
Most tumours in both sexes occur in the
upper and outer section of the left breast,
the proportion in that area having increased
from 31 per cent in 1926 to 61 per cent in
1994.
If the use of antiperspirants is to blame, this
would be accounted for by the fact most
people are right-handed and likely to apply
more deodorant to their left armpit, Dr
Darbre said.
Formation of breast tumours, Dr Darbre
says, is known to be linked to hormone
levels.

Laboratory experiments have indicated that
chemical compounds derived from
zirconium and aluminium may be linked to
hormone disruption.
However, scientists stress there is no
evidence the small quantities of the
chemicals found in antiperspirants may be
dangerous.
Dr Chris Flower, of the Cosmetic, Toiletry and
Perfumery Association, said that under
European and UK law cosmetic products
undergo a full safety assessment.

He pointed out that Dr Darbre had been
claiming for many years that different
substances in antiperspirants, called
parabens, might be causing breast cancer.
"She now seems to have shifted to
aluminium and zirconium," he said. "I'm not
quite sure what it is she doesn't like about
deodorants, but one might almost feel that
she had it in for them."
Dr Tim Key, a Cancer Research UK scientist
based at Oxford University, said breast
cancer rates had gone up because British
women were drinking more alcohol, were
fatter and were having children later - all
factors known to increase the risk.
He added: "There is no need for concern
about deodorants, in my view.
"The way science works is that someone
puts an idea forward and others follow it if
they think it is worth doing so.
"At the moment, not many people think this
is a worthwhile line of investigation."

One recent study of 1,500 women found no
evidence to support the hypothesis that
antiperspirant use increases the risk of
developing breast cancer.
The study was carried out after rumours of
a causative link were circulated on the
Internet.
Scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Centre, Seattle, found there was no
increased risk of breast cancer among
women who used antiperspirant or
deodorant.

Detectives at the State Criminal Investigation
Department (SCID), Iyaganku have
investigated the case of a 28-year-old lady,
Ms Kemi Adeoye, who was arrested by
policemen from Sanyo Division for stealing
a baby in a church during a vigil service on
Friday September 7, 2012.

The lady, according to police sources, had
attended a church service on the fateful day
and had picked a baby where she had been
laid while her mother was praying in front
of the altar.
After picking the baby, the lady had
reportedly left for one of the chalets within
the church premises and locked herself in,
after she had put the baby on her back.

The mother had raised an alarm when she
got back to her seat and beheld an empty
bed without her baby on it, a situation
which caused members who were at the
vigil to halt the service while they trooped
out in search of the missing baby.

Simultaneously, a drama had ensued at the
chalet area where one of the church
workers had noticed that there was an
occupant in a chalet which he had not
allocated to anyone. Curious to know the
occupant and how he or she got the key,
the workers was said to have knocked on
the door.

To his surprise, a voice from inside the
room replied his enquiry on the identity of
the occupant with another question, asking
who the man was.

The door was said to have been forced
open and a woman with a baby on her
back was discovered in the room. It was at
that time that members of the church
searching for the baby got to where the
chalets were, only for the baby’s mother to
see that it was her baby the woman was
putting on her back.

The suspect was said to have been taken to
the police station where she told the police
that she was sent by a woman to go and
steal a baby. She also told them that she had
once taken a child from a CAC church at
Apete but could not say where she took the
baby to.

190-the-clown:
Copy and pasted from www.obansanjo-sango-ota-farms.com

wetin concern Obasanjo farm wit Relationship! Is it a must for u to make comment?

Khaffi: Nice write-up...thanks

U r welcum!

Here is a list of those important things
you should know when getting to know
someone, you might not get to ask them
directly, but still find a way to know all
the answers to the 10 points listed
below:

1. Are you married / or do have a
girlfriend/boyfriend?

Any studdering, hesitation or giggling is
a MAJOR red flag. “Are you single” is a
very simple question that should have a
very simple answer… i remember this
man was trying to approach me, i asked
him if he was single… first he giggled
(nervous laughter) then he said “why
you ask me that”? then he said “yes i’m
single”, then he says “i have friends”,
translation… “no i’m not single, i have a
girl but i’m also a dog”. SMH!!! If a man/
woman is single he/she will answer that
question with a simple “YES” (with no
pause), anything other than that is
suspect.

2. What are his/her morals & values?

This one should be HIGH on everyone’s
list. If your morals & values are not in
alignment with each other, that could be
a big problem.

3. How does he/she speak to you?

I have learned that there is something to
be said about a man/woman who
constantly speaks with a foul mouth
around a person they just started
dating. It shows a lack of respect. I’m
not saying a man/woman can’t ever
curse… of course that’s not the case, but
if he/she’s saying things to you like
“wassup my nigga” or “wassup bitch”
or Muthaf*cka this Muthaf*cka that”…
he/she is not respecting you.

4. What is he saying about his / her ex?

Is he speaking negative about them?
It’s normal to some degree for a person
to say certain things about their EX,
however if the person you are
interested in is ranting with anger and
talking very negative about the person
whom they were once in love with…
that’s a sign they still have issues
regarding that situation, and just like
they talk bad about that EX, they will talk
bad about you.

5. Does he/she want marriage and
children?

If you are early 20′s you don’t have to
rush these type of questions, but if you
are in your 30′s or 40′s you NEED to ask
the tough questions early so you are not
wasting your time with someone who
doesn’t want the same things in life that
you want or maybe they want it and you
don’t… either way, marriage and
children need to be discussed at some
point, especially if that’s something you
have your heart set on.

6. Do they have anger issues or a quick
temper?

I once was out with a guy who
screamed at the top of his lungs at
someone for getting his order wrong….
being annoyed would be normal, but to
SCREAM bloody Mary in a public place is
insane… needless to say that was one
red flag that i should’ve took heed to.
pay attention to Public behavior and
quick temper signs, if they act psycho in
public, what do you think they will be
like behind closed doors?

7. What are their goals?

This is a good question to ask to see if
he/she may have a good head on his/
her shoulders. I met a man who lived at
home with his mom, yet he spent several
thousand dollars buying a new gold
chain when he should’ve been getting
his own place (SMH)! needless to say that
was a major turnoff to me and a huge
red flag that his priorities & goals were
not in sync with mines.

8. Do they have kids, how many? how
many mothers/fathers?

If meet a man with 5 kids and 4 or 5
different mothers. Realistically speaking,
if a man is spending time & money with
his kids like he’s suppose to, how is it
possible for him to have time or the
finances to date or start a family with
someone new? besides that, it could be
a red flag that he has commitment
issues if he hasn’t settled down with
none of the mother of his kids. I don’t
like to judge but… No Thanks!!

9. What type of people do they hang
around?

They say you are a reflection of the
people you choose to hang around. If
the man/woman you are interested in is
hanging around with people who have
no morals and bad character, you need
to pay attention to that.

10. How do they treat their Mother/
Father?

In most cases, If a person speaks to
their Mom/Dad in a disrespectful
manner… that’s a sign that they will
probably speak to you the same way
eventually.

MRbrownJAY: lol, handed over to the police ke........ she must have sukced a few dikcs (if not worst) to get out of this one....... the vids will eventually surface someday.

LMAO....

A female undergraduate, simply identified
as Chisom from one of the tertiary
institutions in Imo State was last weekend
stripped naked for stealing a Blackberry
phone in a very popular night club located
in the city of Owerri.

According to an eye witness account,
Chisom had removed the phone from the
bag of another fun seeker in the club, but
luck ran out of her as she made frantic
effort to switch it off.

LEADERSHIP WEEKEND gathered that the
owner of the phone put a call through her
line using the phone of another friend after
searching for hers, and heard it ringing
inside chisom’s bag.

The people in the club as LEADERSHIP
WEEKEND was reliably informed wasted no
time to descend on the suspect , beating
her black and blue before stripping her
skimpy clothe off her.

According to our source, It took the efforts
of the guard at the night club to save
Chisom from being lynched to death, as she
was taken into one of the rooms in the club
to change her clothes.

Altough it could not be ascertained as the
time of this report if she was handed over
to the police for further investigation as all
efforts to reach the divisional police officer
in that area proved abortive.
