DailyPost: I was in company of Senator David Mark as he went round to see the level of destruction done on the Agatu people by the suspected fulani herdsmen, we wept. I pray to Almighty God to save the people from these habengers of dead who do not have life but wants to take lives of other people. my people, Idoma people and my brothers and sisters for how long will it takes to join forces to defend ourselves? It's high time we come together to help Agatu people, ur prayers and I may go a long way to help them. This is not a fight for one man, this is not a fight for one community, this is not a fight for AGATU people, it is a fight for the Idoma Nation. Let's do our part and leave the one we can't for God.... - Online Reporter
I have said it many times that Benue people should force these animals out of their land. They have to take the law into their hands and kill many fulanis to discourage further attack. Rule of law and human right wont work on this matter.
The problem is not really Buhari but UN and ECOWAS. These nomads travel everywhere without id card or any kind of identification. If you have traveled west africa countries by road, you will know that these people have no nationality. they always stubborn to immigration officers.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO NATIONALITY, UN AND FRANCE REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE THEIR AZAWAD REPUBLIC INSTEAD THEY SPREAD THEM ACROSS SAHARA.
And the so called female senators in the chamber couldn't even cough. People advocating for more women in politics are wasting time. We have more women in govt. yet they haven't done anything to justify their contribution to feminism.
They can't even speak for themselves. They all look beautiful and only care about their s3xual look and desire. Spending hours on make up to attract traffic to their totto website.
DUBlog: The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency in Nasarawa State on Friday apprehended the 60-year-old village head of Koje community in Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area of the state, Mr. Samuel Agu, for allegedly cultivating and harvesting 12kg Indian hemp otherwise called cannabis sativa in his farm land.
Parading the suspect at the command office in Lafia, the state capital, the NDLEA commander in the state, Mr.Sumaila Ethan, said, “On March 4, 2016, we arrested Mr. Samuel Agu, the village head with bags of cannabis sativa weighing about12 kg.
“The village head confessed that he had been getting the supply of the cannabis seeds from a Fulani herdsman, the weed seized from him was the remnant of what he harvested from his farm.
“The village head, who is expected to live an exemplary life style that is worthy of emulation, was the same person selling cannabis for consumption.”
He, however, expressed worry on how those entrusted with the responsibilities of deterring criminality in their various domains end up getting involved in it, describing it as ungodly and unfortunate.
“It is pertinent to alert the people of the state and the whole world that, there is an alarming increase in the activities of illicit barons in the state particularly those entrusted with positions of leadership in our rural communities,” he added.
Ethan also said that from January 2016 to date, the command had arrested 28 suspects in the state and about 460kg of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances were also seized.
Out of the number, seven drug barons were successfully prosecuted and convicted at the Federal High Court, Lafia while 10 others were successfully rehabilitated. Other cases are ongoing at the Federal High Court, Lafia,” he said.
yeye pippo. 80% of Nigeria men and 60% of women use marijuana yet we insult him. Love him in secret and criticize him outside. The people making the law are the highest users The people interpreting the law use it most The people enforcing the law cant live without it.
POINT OF CORRECTION TO THE OLD FASHION NIGERIANS. Marijuana/igbo/gbana is not a hard drug. It has been legalized in many countries including USA, Holland, Argentina, Cambodia, Russia, etc. Somebody should advise govt. to stop wasting money on anti marijuana. They should concentrate on cocaine and other hard drugs.
MARIJUANA IS HERB, MEDICINE. IT CONTAINS 100% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). very helpful in fighting CANCER and AIDS.
kahal29: The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, says he has lost count of the records of charges of false asset declaration instituted against him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
He also said facts about the charges were no longer fresh in his memory because they bordered on offences which he was accused of committing between five to 14 years ago.
Saraki stated this in an affidavit, which he personally deposed to in support of his fresh application seeking the quashing of the charges against him at the CCT and discharging him of the alleged offences.
“The facts relating to these matters are no longer fresh in my memory quite apart from the fact that I have lost many of my records pertaining to them,” he stated in the affidavit.
Saraki’s fresh application, which was dated and filed on March 4, 2016, seeks to halt his trial that had been validated by the Supreme Court through its judgement delivered on February 5, 2016.
He was arraigned on 13 counts of false asset declaration before the CCT on September 22, 2015.
A seven-man panel of the Supreme Court, led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, had in its judgement, dismissed Saraki’s objection to his trial.
The apex court, in the said judgement, affirmed the competence of the 13 counts filed against him and the jurisdiction of the tribunal to hear the case.
In the charges instituted by the Federal Government, Saraki was accused of making false asset declaration in his forms submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau on assuming office and leaving during his two terms as Governor of Kwara State between 2003 and 2011.
The Senate President, who was said to have submitted four asset declaration forms, allegedly “corruptly acquired many properties while in office as Governor of Kwara State, but failed to declare some of them in the said forms earlier filled and submitted.”
He also allegedly made an anticipatory declaration of assets upon his assumption of office as governor, which he later acquired.
Saraki was also accused of sending money abroad for the purchase of property in London and maintaining an account outside Nigeria while serving as governor.
But in his fresh application, Saraki said the charges were not in the interest of justice, but politically motivated and filed in violation of due process as well as his right to fair hearing.
He also stated that the charges could not be valid since they were filed in the name of the Attorney-General of the Federation.
He said he was denied fair hearing as neither the CCB nor the Attorney-General of the Federation confronted him with any infraction in the four assets declaration forms.
He said he declared his assets first on assuming office as Governor of Kwara State in 2003 and on completing his term in 2011.
He said he subsequently made another asset declaration and submitted the form to the CCB upon his reelection in 2007 and on ending his second term in 2011.
He said had he been informed of any inconsistencies in his asset declaration forms, he would have corrected them.
He said, “I am not aware of any petitions challenging my declarations, and the bureau (CCB) has never drawn my attention to any. I would promptly have corrected or explained (the reason for) any alleged discrepancies or inconsistencies in my asset declaration had my attention been drawn to them.”
His prayers in the application include, “An order quashing and/or striking out the charges contained in Charge No: CCT/ABJ/01/2015 by the complainant/respondent against the applicant.
“An order pursuant to Paragraph 1 above, discharging the defendant/applicant herein.”
Saraki’s new lead counsel, Mr. Kanu Agabi (SAN), who led five other Senior Advocates of Nigeria and about 60 other lawyers in the Senate President’s legal team on Friday, is also challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal to entertain the case against his client.
Saraki’s trial, scheduled to commence on Thursday, following the judgement of the Supreme Court validating it, was stalled on Friday.
The trial was stalled after Agabi introduced his client’s fresh application and insisted that it must be heard before the matter could continue.
But the lead prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), described the motion as “a deliberate attempt to stop the trial from going on.”
“The defendant keeps saying that there is no case against him and that he is being persecuted; why doesn’t he let the trial start so that the whole world can see the persecution?” Jacobs asked.
The prosecutor, who said he had not been served with the motion, insisted that by virtue of the judgement of the Supreme Court delivered on February 5, which validated the trial, the day’s business was for the prosecution to open its case.

Yunusa Dahiru, aka Yunusa Yellow, the suspected abductor of a Bayelsa teenager, Ese Oruru, was on Tuesday arraigned at a Federal High Court in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, Yunusa Yellow is being charged for abduction, coercion, seduction into illicit intercourse, sexual exploitation and unlawful carnal knowledge of Miss Oruru. In another development, a campaign themed #FreeYellowNow has begun online and popular in Kano, advocating for the release of the suspected abductor. One of those championing Yunusa's case is a lecturer at the Bayero University Kano, Dr. Audu Bukarti, a lawyer who is expected to represent the suspected abductor next Monday in Yenagoa. Speaking on #FreeYellowNow, Bukarti said, "Many thought Yunusa was not represented by lawyers when he was arraigned yesterday. The truth is that he was represented by the 4 lawyers we have hired for him in Bayelsa. We asked them to represent him because we knew the only thing that would be done yesterday was to read the charges and take his plea.
"Yunusa has denied all the 5 charges framed against him. If Yunusa went to court alone, perhaps, he would have pleaded guilty because he might not understand the meaning and implication of what was read to him. But he was properly guided because there were lawyers with him. We have filed an application for the bail of Yunusa. The application has yet been taken. The matter has been adjourned to Monday, the 14/3/16 for hearing even though our contacts say hearing may not commence on that day. I and other lawyers are planning to be in court on Monday even though we are yet to finalise our plans. We may not be in court on Monday if hearing will not commence on that day. This is because the matter may just be called and adjourned on that day and our 4 lawyers can do that for us. The SAN who will lead us will be in court when hearing commences. They have shamelessly dropped forceful marriage and forceful conversion to Islam. This shows we are succeeding. We will keep you posted."
If Bayelsa court free this he-goat, i will give up. THE JUDGE SHOULD BE COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO RESIST THOSE EVIL ABBOKIE SAN THAT HAS NO BETTER JOB TO DO..... They can not intimidate us in our lands. we are not Benue and Kwara people that beg for govt. intervention.
PLS. JUDGE, GIVE HIM MAXIMUM NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. IF POSSIBLE USE EZON TO READ THE JUDGMENT LIKE CHINESE PEOPLE DO. EVEN IF I DONT LIKE ESE BUT I HATE INTIMIDATION.
Excuzeme: Do you people even pondr a second an try to understand what "an arrest" is... then join it with "resisting"? otherwise this sort of thrash wont be coming out from your brains.
Just because he is a Nigerian, he must be treated like a Dog....and it is okay?
I just showed this to a few white friends and the common thing they are all asking ... is the same question the guy was asking: WHY! WHY !! WHY!!
I went further to ask them if they would have the temerity to ask an officer "Why, what have l done"?... if he asks them to lie down in public?
-One said its my fundamental human right to be treated with dignity, l will sue -Another said, If he can tell me why he wants to embarrass me in public, then he will have to "invite me" to the Precinct and l will oblige. He added, l can see any weapon the guy is holding or how he is a threat to "public peace" that cutting him such coutesy will harm the Police men or the Public! -Another said "I will complain about this issue and request for more information, using Freedom of Information Act (their own version of our own FOI Law)
So, for three "white people", non agreed the man should be treated this way!
but it is our own black brothers that are shouting "he deserves it, he should have rolled on the floor as directed". Una see una life? Na so una life worth! May be its not just Poverty of the Purse....... but also "Poverty of the Mind"
You writing with 7 colors as if we never see white man before. I live with white and see them everyday. It is better to be gentle and treated like human than to be rude and treated like animal.
Its not new that crime that got black man convicted might not get a white guy convicted. More blacks are killed in America than white. WHEN THEY ASKED A NYPD OFFICER WHY MORE BLACKS DEATH THAN WHITE. HE SAID IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT BLACK MAN WILL RESIST ARREST BUT WHITE PEOPLE LIKELY WONT RESIST.
If that guy was cooperative with the authority, it wont escalate to the extent of videoing. IM NOT SAYING THE POLICE WAS RIGHT BUT YOU DONT GIVE YOUR BODY TO POLICE TO BEAT UP JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO CLAIM YOUR RIGHT.
THAT SCENE WAS AVOIDABLE IF THE SO CALLED NIGERIAN WAS GENTLE.
AjayiWrites: The UK police today maltreated a Nigerian citizen, though the reason was not unknown, but the police was caught hitting and slapping him while the man was saying why are you hitting me, I am not a criminal...
in civilized country, you dont resist arrest or instruction from an officer. Sorry to say this, many Nigerians are arrogant. Thank God is not in Nigeria, it would have been accidental discharge and nothing will happen.
Obey the law enforcement agent FIRST before you proof your right. Maybe they will let you go or ask you to hire attorney to bail you.
mile12crises: ABUJA- THE Senate has begun the process into the probe of the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to unbundle the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC In a point of Order by Senate Chief Whip, Senator Olusola Adeyeye on the floor of the Senate today, he drew the attention of other Senators to the unbundling of the nation’s agency in charge of the oil and gas sector in the country.
Adeyeye who will formally present a motion tomorrow where there would be extensive debate at the plenary, described the exercise as illegal as the federal government did not consult the National Assembly to repeal the enabling law that set up the organisation, before breaking it into different components.
Workers of the NNPC had shut down the corporation’s operations nationwide following the exercise and the development had led to fuel queues across the country. Details later…
1. Where u the one that started fuc*ing her at 11? 2. Or can u know of a 12yr old girl in ur vicinity there Bleep*ing at 12, and ur senses won't tell u to report to those concerned? or how the hell did u come about her mother knowing she is fucking at 12 and was cool with it? 3. In your right senses, if someone had told u that lie, you should have debunked it, or how should we justify that you spit out trash that a mother will be cool with her 12yr kid in illicit affair, even with a detestable goro-chewers?
4. Something must be wrong wit u. Next time, get ur facts right before talking. at least reason if she is ur daughter, will u spilt this trash? Anyway, that's if ur poverty has not made u give her out for marriage at 7...
You are not following the story. you just want to insult yourself not me.
Yanusa said ESE mother is aware of their romance. Another news report that the boy work for the family. ESE mother said it openly that the boy come to eat from her restaurant.
They know themselves very well. you just here f00ling yourself...............The bad news is that it backfired because they turned blind eye at the beginning and allowed their so called under age to practice s3x at 12+ .
kaylivin: . Why r u just trying to point an acusing finger on eses family ... Now I wud like u to google christians abducting muslims the result will turn around to muslims abducting christian children all over their world even in the uk ... This is an islamic agenda ,, its been happen for a very long time ,, the number of such case in nigeria alone is countless .. Stop saying trash about eses family , this bastards r just trying to justify. Their evil act . Don't assist them in achiveing their aim ...
Im a traditional man. If you catch small pikin ffucking, what we do is to grind pepper put for their yansh. THE MOTHER WAS AWARE OF THE ROMANCE, SHE KEPT QUIET WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
if i am the chief of community, i will fine ESE mother white goat for giving the daughter licence to ffuck at the age of 12. They all lack morals.
Is Benue people that too lazy? why cant they defend themselves? Crying like cry cry baby wont help.
The bible says: Resist the devil, he will flee. Another verse of the Bible say: oppress the oppressor, destroy the destroyer if you want peace.
If not strong resistance, Arabs would have wiped Israel out of the map...................... BENUE PEOPLE SHOULD STOP BEING LAZY AND RESIST FULANIS. The conquer of Benue by these animals is giving them confidence to spread it to other regions.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS, DONT GIVE THESE PEOPLE CHANCE TO TAKE OF OVER YOUR VILLAGE. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS RESISTANCE AND OPPRESSING THEM.
Yunusa should face justice but i dont fight for a girl that started ffucking at the age of 11+. And i can never support a mother that knows her daughter is ffcuking at the age of 12 and cool with it.
They all lack morals. Yanusa, Ese and both families are guilty and lack morals.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH IGBOS SELF? ARE YOU SO SPECIAL IN NIGERIA? YOU PEOPLE SHOULD STOP DIVIDING THIS COUNTRY WITH HYPOCRISY. I saw it here on NL. upstairs, buildings and shops being demolished in Anambra and Abia. Everybody was happy and calling it a development.

Where were you when herdsmen raided ketu, is it because the igbos dont have your time, guard your silly comments.
YOU ARE SSTUPID. QUOTE ME ANYWHERE..... IS GOOD TO CALL SPADE A SPADE. If it is good to demolish buildings and market in Onitsha and Aba; why is it bad to do same in Lagos? I saw upstairs, buildings and shops being demolished in Anambra and Abia. Everybody was happy and calling it a development.
diasporaman: This is totally wrong. When did they become the government agency that is responsible for urban development. Shameless miscreants, lazy fools who couldn't fight the hausa/fulani at mile 12.
Enemies of the progress of an Igbo man
But there is no problem for Abia state to demolish igbo houses and business. In abia is called good news and development but when it happens in Lagos, is against igbo.

The day Lagos State shares roads with Buses and cars have finally come to pass. What next?

I dont know why communities are scared of this people? If you scare, you give them more power to misbehave.

zinachidi: A Nigerian national who claimed he swallowed capsules containing "precious stones" escaped the gallows today, for drug trafficking but was jailed and ordered to be whipped for possession of drugs. A Court of Appeal three-man panel led by Justice Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat sentenced Abuchi Ngwoke, 31, to 20 years jail and 10 strokes of whipping after convicting him for possession of 251.66 grammes of methamphetamine. The court unanimously allowed Ngwoke's appeal to set aside a Melaka High Court's decision to convict and sentence him to death for trafficking in the drugs at the Melaka General Hospital between 5am on May 23, 2012 and 2.50pm on May 25, 2012. Tengku Maimun said the court found there were merits on the issue raised by Ngwoke's counsel, Hisyam Teh Poh Teik relating to the chemist's evidence.
The panel which also included Court of Appeal judge Datuk Ahmadi Asnawi and High Court judge Datuk Kamardin Hashim ordered Ngwoke to serve his jail sentence from the date of his arrest on May 23, 2012. According to the facts of the case, Ngwoke was arrested by the police after he was found breaking into Batik Selat House MITC in Melaka and drank a bottle of ink. He was brought to the General Hospital where 27 capsules allegedly containing methamphetamine were removed from his stomach. In his defence, Ngwoke claimed that he swallowed "precious stones" which were wrapped, with soup after a man named Chibike told him that it contained precious stone gold dust which was used in jewellery-making in Malaysia. He claimed he was drunk when he followed Chibike's instructions to swallow the capsules which he believed contained precious stones, before leaving for Malaysia.
In the appeal today, Teh submitted there were infirmities in the chemist's evidence with regard to her analysis of the drugs because there was no evidence she had read her written statement on her analysis in open court under oath. He also argued that Rozieyati Abdullah's written statement was inadmissible because there was no notation that she had identified her written statement and also no record that her statement was marked by the court. He also said the High Court judge erred when he descended into the arena of conflict and crossed-examined Ngwoke relating to the issue of his consciousness which was prejudicial to his client. Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurshafini Mustafha said there were no infirmities in the chemist evidence, adding that her evidence on the analysis of the drugs was sufficient.
She also said the judge had asked Ngwoke questions for purpose of clarification relating to his consciousness when he reached the KL International Airport (KLIA) from Lagos, Nigeria and to Melaka. According to Nurshafini, Ngwoke was conscious at the time he swallowed the capsules as he could explain with great clarity about the journey he went through from Lagos to KLIA.
Is BuhaLI hand work...... We voted for change but he gave Abuchi Ngwoke 20 years and many strokes of cane because they hate igbo. Chukwu okike abiama will punish them. Drug is our ethnic business, we raise money from drugs to contest election and develop Lagos because we are hard working.

IM NOT AGAINST BIAFRA BUT I WORRY ABOUT POOR MOTHERS LOSING THEIR CHILDREN ON THIS ISSUE. NO PROMINENT IGBO CHILD OR FAMILY MEMBER OF KANU THAT HAS BEEN INJURED NOT TO TALK OF KILLED. IS ALWAYS THE POOR STUBBORN CHILDREN THAT DIES.
mile12crises: ABUJA – The Department of State Service, DSS, on Monday, told a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, that it has uncovered plot by some pro-Biafra agitators, to invade the court and forcefully free the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.
The security agency made the allegation on a day the federal government was to open its case against Kanu who is facing a six-count treason charge alongside two other pro-Biafra supporters, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.
Nnamdi kanu The Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, Mr. Mohammed Diri, told trial Justice John Tsoho that the DSS has already commenced investigation on the planned invasion. Meantime, following the inability of the federal government to produce any of the eight witnesses scheduled to testify before the court, the defendants, through their lawyer, Chief Chuks Muoma, SAN, applied to be discharged and acquitted of the charge against them.
They predicated their application on the provision of section 351(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015. Earlier, the DPP informed the court that the witnesses said they would not appear to testify against the defendants unless the are allowed to wear masks or their identities shielded from both lawyers and people observing the proceeding. ‘My lord this is because they are already receiving threats from associates of the defendants that they will be dealt with. The witnesses said they love their lives and requested that their identities be shielded from people who are coming to witness the proceeding’, Diri added.
He said DSS operatives also billed to testify in the matter, made similar request on the basis that they are investigating terrorism cases and would not want their identities exposed. Justice Tsoho had on February 19, refused an application by the federal government which sought leave to mask the witnesses. The application was vehemently opposed by counsel to the defendants who urged the court not to allow ‘masquerades’ to testify before it. Meanwhile, the parties are still exchanging arguments on the application for the charge to be quashed and the defendants discharged and acquitted.
Kanu who was hitherto the Director of Radio Biafra and Television, has been in detention since October 14, 2015, when he was arrested by security operatives upon his arrival to Nigeria from his base in the United Kingdom. The defendants were alleged to have committed treasonable felony, an offence punishable under Section 41(C) of the Criminal Code Act, CAP C38 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria. FG alleged that they were the ones managing the affairs of the IPOB which it described as ‘an unlawful society’.
Specifically, Kanu was alleged to have illegally smuggled radio transmitters into Nigeria, which he used to disseminate “hate broadcasts”, encouraging the “secession of the Republic ofBiafra”, from Nigeria. The accused persons however pleaded not guilty to the charge on January 20, even as the court ordered their remand at Kuje prison in Abuja.
ANY JUDGE THAT ACQUIT KANU IS SIGNING HIS OR HER DEATH WARRANT........... EVEN A JUDGE THAT PASSED OUT FROM LAW SCHOOL TODAY ALREADY KNOW THE GRAVITY OF THIS CASE.
YOU CANT FIGHT GOVT................... AFTER GOD IS GOVT.
hopeforcharles: Just listen to your Self, What did those guy mentioned fought for? Independence for their People its the Same thing Kalu is Fighting for. Its very Obvious that The FG and DSS don't have a serious case with Mr Kalu, before i am indifferent but now i am having a Sympatetic Change of Mind towards the Struggle for the Emancipation of the Biafra people, Nigeria is So Messed Up that it need a total Overhaul.
There is no doubt that Nigeria is messed up................. But this Kanu is a wrong guy. He has too much enemies. Even America, UK and UN dont welcome his arrogance. I read it on Yahoo news when the wife was crying that UK abandon their citizen.
Real freedom fighters build allies not "enemies". This IPOB movement has many enemies. There is nothing wrong in fighting for freedom but should be fought in the right manner. EVEN FAILED OJUKWU HAD ALLIES. KANU HAVE NO POWERFUL ALLIES ONLY POWERFUL ENEMIES. IGBOS USED TO BE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE, I DONT KNOW HOW THEY GOT CHOKED IN KANU ARROGANCE.
AMERICA HAD FRANCE AND PORTUGAL AS ALLIES WHEN FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM. KANU HAS NO ALLY. HE MAY SPEND HIS LIFE IN JAIL FOR NOTHING. I HAVE READ MANY STORIES ABOUT SUCCESSFUL FREEDOM FIGHTERS AROUND THE WORLD. THEY ALL HAVE MORE ALLIES THAN ENEMIES BUT REVERSE IS THE CASE OF KANU............. MORE ENEMIES, NO ALLY.
Nelson Mandela did it for South Africa,Kwame Nkrumah did it for Ghana. ****
At the End, **** will come.
the most brainwashed people in Nigeria are Igbos and Hausa. No wonder they hate each other.
HAILING SOMEBODY FOR HIS STUP!D!TY? What has this guy done to be Nelson Mandela? NELSON MANDELA AND NKURUMAH PREACH LOVE AND UNITY BUT THIS ANIMAL PREACH HATE.
The only way he can be released is when an Igbo man become a president which is very very unlikely. Kanu is enemy to Ohaneze-ndigbo, enemy to Arewa, enemy to Yoruba and enemy to Nigeria. I dont see him being released anytime soon.
Thank God they didnt play politics on this like chibok girls.
THE ABDUCTION OF CHIBOK GIRLS WERE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE GOVT. DENIED THE STORY INITIALLY. IF THE MILITARY HAD GONE AFTER THEM EVEN AFTER 3 DAYS, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RESCUED.
