TROOPS INTERCEPTS AND NEUTRALIZE SUICIDE BOMBER

Today at about 6.30am, troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE intercepted and neutralized a male suicide bomber at the outskirts of Maiduguri, Borno State.

The terrorist who attempted to infiltrate through the troops forward defences at Jidari Polo general area, came in through Alidawari village about 4 kilometres ahead of Jidari strapped with heavy Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) vest.

The vigilant troops on sighting him laid in wait for the intruder when vehemently refused to stop despite several warnings and challenges. A marksman neutralized the suicide bomber.

The combined team of Nigerian Army and Nigeria Police Explosive Ordinance Device (EOD) safely detonated the IED laden vest on the suicide bomber.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Ask and it shall be given unto you

05/10/2016

When Atoke Ayobami graduated from the college of Health Science  and Technology, Ijero, three years ago,  her dream like that of most ladies out there was to have her time as a National Youth Service Corps member,  get a good job and settle down as a married woman afterwards.

Fate however had something different in stock for this young lady, she woke up sometimes in year 2013 only to discover some parts of her body had swollen abnormally.  Atoke visited the hospital and was diagnosed with Elephantiasis, a parasitic infection that causes extreme swelling in the arms and leg.

To say life hasn't remained same since then for her is to utter the obvious. She ran from pillar to post, making endless efforts at trying to raise the medical bill charged by experts who would treat her.

Atoke's story however changed Tuesday evening when the Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose visited impromptu,  the construction site of Ekiti State Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Governor Fayose had after acknowledging cheers from site workers and passersby moved upstairs to see for himself the level and quality of work done. He displayed his expertise in the field of construction, scolded some workers who were found wanting and later made some corrections as necessary.
As the governor stepped down the makeshift staircase,  his face wasn't attractive, one won't ask even an enemy to seek assistance from him in such mood. Atoke was downstairs, perhaps saying silent prayers to God instead of reading the governor's mood.  She didn't have a field day accessing him, she had the governor's security aides and the 'street' to contend with.

The 'street' hailed and got their slice from the governor as usual, they left and it was time for him to enter his car and take his leave. Atoke knew she had to move closer to the governor else the man disappears, she made her move but the security men won't allow her. Trust eagle eyed Fayose, she saw what was happening and asked that she be allowed to have her way.

As this continued, we watched from a fair distance, there was a conversation between the governor and Atoke, minutes later,  he brought out his red pen, wrote something on paper and handed it with some cash unto Atoke. We closed in on her after the governor left and she was so glad to speak with us.

"My name is Atoke Ayobami, I have been battling this problem for about 3 years now, it started with body pain, severe body pain, when it started swelling and I couldn't do anything with it,  including the two legs, I went to the hospital and they said it was Elephantiasis, they said I should go and look for money.  I had just graduated from the college where I had HND in environmental health, I have not started working.

"I want to say a very big thank you to the governor,  I am most grateful, the governor gave me this note and asked me to take it to the Chief Medical Director at the University Teaching Hospital, he said he should see to my case. I have suffered for the past 3 years but I know an end has come to my problem", she explained.

As the doctors often say they care but God heals, it is my prayer that God will lay his healing hands upon Atoke Ayobami and make her joy complete. Dare to make a move, Ask and it shall be given!

These alleged thieves are Hausa, except one, an Igbo, specialised in buying stolen goods.

They had been engaged in this, but unfortunately, luck ran out of them after committing sacrilege in the house of God. They had burgled the house of God - The Redeemed Christian Church of God, a branch of it behind the Anglican Church, just by Cornerstone Schools; and carted away musical instruments and industrial fans. But as if that was not enough, they decided to rob a building site of its building materials; and then luck ran out of them.

They were caught and beaten blue and black before being handed over to the Okpanam Divisional Police Headquarters for the law to take its cause.

Suspended top Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau,has released official statement over her suspending.Sadau was expelled for featuring in a romantic musical video by Jos born singer, ClassiQ.

Below is the statement released by Rahama Sadau.....


Following the events of the last few days and MOPPAN’s unilateral decision to exclude me from the Hausa indigenous film industry, known
as Kannywood, I would like to use this medium to address my fans, friends, those who have been affected and all who have shown concern.  To those who I have offended in any way, shape or form and who I have caused any anxiety by featuring in the said music video, I sincerely apologise. It was a job and I was carrying out my role in my profession,
as I would in any other production, be it a Hausa language film or a Nollywood production. However, innocuous touching with other people in my line of work is inevitable.

I have lines that I would never cross and indeed I live and stand by the tenets, “actions are judged according to intentions”. The outcome of the events that have taken place has come as a surprise
to us all. I may have fallen short of some people’s expectations, but it was never my intention. I make no excuses for my actions and I take full
responsibility.

Thank you to all those who have reached out at this time and to everyone in general for your unwavering support. Your passion and loyalty hasn’t
gone unnoticed and I am privileged to have your support. This, I do not take for granted and I want nothing more than to continue making you all
proud.  I implore us all to be more tolerant and forgiving towards one another and to cease all the senseless abuse, name-calling and backbiting. This
achieves nothing other than to cause a huge divide amongst us. May we all continue to benefit from the Almighty’s mercy and may He protect and guide us all as we go about our daily lives.

#RahamaSadau

Let’s salvage our sinking nation, Governor Wike urges Nigerians

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that the nation is sinking irreversibly down the abyss, stressing that only a united front will salvage the country and set it on the path of growth.

The governor regretted that either by commission or omission the Federal Government has dragged the country into its worst economic crisis where Nigerians find it difficult to feed.

In his special independence address during the 56thIndependence Celebration at the Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt on Saturday, lamented that ordinary Nigerians are dying daily from ailments that are ordinarily curable.

The governor declared: “Just look at the situation of our country at this material time. Never in history has the seeds of disunity, distrust, hatred; intolerance, violence, and terrorism proliferated in our country than now, not even in the years of the civil war.

“ By acts of omission or commission, the federal government has pushed the nation into its worst economic nightmare. With inflation on the loose, poverty is increasing as ordinary Nigerians are finding it difficult to have one decent meal in a day. Families are loosing loved ones to curable ailments simply because they can no longer afford necessary medications to sustain their health and vitality.

“Worse still, just as our collective security is being threatened by the activities of motley terrorist groups, such as the Boko Haram insurgents and Fulani herdsmen, most Nigerians are increasingly becoming disillusioned with the country’s failing national institutions, for their inability to mirror the nation’s character and values.”

He added: “ It looks as if the country is sinking irreversibly into the abyss, but I this is what happens when a country is economically weak and dependent. The need therefore, for all of us to work together with the three levels of Government, to deliver real and sustainable economic independence to our country and our people remains the greatest challenge before all of us.”

Governor Wike said that the earlier the thorny issues affecting the nation are addressed, the better for the development of the country.
He noted that the people of Rivers State are proud of their contributions to the development and economic growth of Nigeria, pointing out that they deserve to be rewarded according to their inputs to the sustenance of the country.

“As Rivers people we are proud of our contributions to the unity and progress of the Nigerian nation. We remain committed to preserving the unity and indivisibility of Nigeria. All that we ask in return for our loyalty and commitment is justice, mutual respect and just recompenses for our contributions and sacrifices to the economic and social wellbeing of the country”, Governor Wike said.
He explained that the Rivers State Government through policies and programmes has empowered the people and improved their living condition.
Governor Wike said: “As a deliberate social policy, we concentrated more resources to improve physical and socio-economic infrastructure in the State. Accordingly, apart from several major roads that we have already completed and commissioned, work on all ongoing road projects spread is progressing very well”.

He pointed out that projects in the area of infrastructure, health and education have improved the living conditions of the people of Rivers State.

The 56th Independence Anniversary witnessed March pass by the police, paramilitary voluntary organisations and schools.

Governor Wike also released the white pigeons signifying peace.
