What solution you opt from, make sure it doesn't jeopardise your marriage or academic fortune.
Personally I will advise you to play along with him till he his caught in a compromising position, there you will decide his fate.

Facts emerged yesterday
how some soldiers
allegedly connived with
Boko Haram members to
bomb the Church of Christ
in Nigeria, COCIN,
headquarters in Jos on
Sunday in which eight
persons were killed, 39
others injured and several
vehicles destroyed. COCIN
President, Rev. Soja
Bewarang, who addressed
journalists in Jos
yesterday, narrated how
the bombers together with
the soldiers deceived the
security men on guard to
carry out the attack. But
the Special Task Force on
Jos crisis STF denied that
its members were involved
in the bombing but instead
alleged that the suicide
bomber, who was killed by
angry youths inside the
church premises, was
actually a member of the
church.
STF Media Officer, Capt.
Mdahelya Markus, said that the
dead man, Adam Joseph
Ashaba, actually came to the
church with his family
members.
Bewarang said: “A navy blue
colour Volkswagen Vento
Sedan accompanied by two
military personnel dressed in
desert camouflage was
escorted through the church
security network deployed at
strategic location from the
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN,
axis to the Hill Station
Roundabout by a Special
Military Task Force Hilux van.
“On getting to the church gate,
the military Hilux van drove on
towards the Hill Station
junction, while the Vento car
made right turn to enter COCIN
headquarters where there was
a military personnel readily
waiting at the gate of the
church. He asked the church
security to open the gate for
the two to drive in.
“They told the security
personnel at the gate that they
have brought assistance for
the church while the church
security refused to oblige to
their request, the vehicle
rammed into the gate and
made straight to the church
auditorium.”
He added that the driver sped
toward the auditorium and on
reaching the entrance the
bomb went off, stressing that
the car was shattered into
pieces and the engine landed
just about five metres before
the pulpit and the shrapnel
scattered all over. The driver’s
body was also dismembered
into several pieces.
“The soldiers who work very
hard to clear the way for the
bombers was disarmed and
arrested by the mobile police
and military personnel who
came to the scene of the
incident and was taken to the
military hospital, Rukuba
barracks in Jos,” Bewarang
said.
Bewarang said that members
of the church lost 28 vehicles
valued at over N100m during
the attack.
Meanwhile, the bombed COCIN
headquarters church has
become a Mecca of sort as
thousands of people have been
trouping into the premises to
see the extent of destruction
caused by the explosion.
As early as 7a.m. yesterday,
the church compound was
packed full with sympathisers
who expressed outrage over
the bomb attack.
They include Senator Joshua
Dariye, Senator John Dantong,
representing Plateau North in
the National Assembly, Sen.
Victor Lar, Sen. John Shagaya,
and Deputy Inspector General
of Police, DIG Zone Four,
Haruna John.
Speaking with the church
leadership after inspecting the
premises on behalf of the
Inspector-General of Police,
John said the police and other
security agencies “are working
round the clock to unravel
those behind the act.”
The DIG, who led other
security chiefs on a condolence
visit, expressed shock at the
destruction and appeal to the
public to take solace in God.
The police boss said that
security personnel would soon
unravel the perpetrators.
In another development, the
northern apex socio-cultural
organisation, the Arewa
Consultative Forum, ACF,
yesterday said that Nigerians
should join forces against the
perennial bombing and killings
of people by the deadly Islamic
sect, Boko Haram.
ACF also appealed to members
of the sect to address their
grievances in the court of law
rather than unleashing pains
on innocent Nigerians.
The forum in a statement by its
National Publicity Secretary,
Mr. Anthony Sani in Kaduna,
frowned at reprisal attack in
Plateau State with the bombing
of COCIN.
ACF said such attacks were not
within the tenets of any
religion and appealed to
perpetrators to stop the
mindless killing of innocent
people
The group said: “Arewa
Consultative Forum seriously
frowns at the spate of bomb
explosions directed at innocent
Nigerians, including
worshippers, as symbolised by
those in mosque in Kano,
COCIN Church in Jos and those
of prisons in Gombe, that have
been credited to Boko Haram.
“The forum is also not happy
with the reported reprisal
attacks, precisely because the
attacks by both Boko Haram
and reprisals are directed at
innocent people who are not
party to any perceived
grievances of the feuding
parties.”
In Adamawa State, three
policemen were on Sunday
night killed by suspected
members of the sect at the
Shuwa Divisional Police Station
in Madagali Local Government
Area of the state.
National Mirror gathered that
there was a gun battle
between the police and the
armed men who used locally-
made improvised explosive
device.
The incident, which occurred at
about 8p.m. led to the death of
the three police officers.
Madagali Local Government
shares border with Borno
State, where the activities of
the militants started some few
years ago.
The State Commissioner of
Police, Mr. Adenrele Shinaba,
who spoke through the Police
Public Relations Officer, Altine
Daniel (ASP), stated that
details of the attack were still
sketchy as the command was
yet to get full report of the
incident from the area.

Killing in the name of Allah.

The most viable reform NYSC requires presently is North for North, South for South.

For the third time in three months, Ghana experienced another electric power failure on Sunday plunging the whole nation into darkness for about three hours.

The system failure at the National Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) occurred at the power transmitter at about 7.45 pm but was restored in some parts of the country at about 9.30 pm same day.

Officials of the Electricity Commission of Ghana (ECG) ascribed the fault to a technical failure.

The Public Relations Officer of ECG, Gloria Dua Saky on Sunday night could only confirm that there was power failure in Greater Accra region, Tema, Winneba (Central region), and the Ashanti region.

However reports coming in from the interior indicate that all 10 regions in the country were affected by the blackout, which spanned over two hours.

The Public Relations Officer of GRIDCO Mr. Albert Quainoo said the whole nation was affected and attributed it to technical problems emanating from the Akosombo, Tema and Takoradi power plants interconnectivity.

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Volta Region Authority Mr. Kweku Awotwi has attributed current energy challenges in the country to the short-fall in the supply of gas from the West African Gas Pipeline Company.

He said that WAGPCO presently supplies VRA about 90,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) of Liquefied petroleum gas daily.

The Chief Executive Officer, who said the problem was temporary, explained that Ghana currently needs a daily supply of 1,600 megawatts power for both domestic and industrial purpose.

He hinted that plans were underway to shore up daily supply by 960 megawatts by 2013.

Oga minister who will educate the almajiris.

Ibori did well as governor, that did not stop him from looting. Naija is made up of lootocrats.

Pastors in Nigeria have lambasted the founder, Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome over his comment that masturbation is not a sin against God but a mere habit that God is not angry about.

Since the controversial pastor made the comment recently, angry reactions have been pouring in from Christendom over what they called heresy, being preached by the pastor, which negates the words of God.

Oyakhilome was asked by one of his pastors how one could overcome masturbation and he replied that “the reason you are thinking of stopping it (masturbation) is because you think it has become a habit for you… masturbation is not more than a habit than any other habit.

“So once you make up your mind that you want to break a particular habit, you just do it, you make up your mind… in fact the best way to break a habit is to replace it with another habit.

“There is one thing I would like to bring to your mind that may be of help to you because the reason you are thinking of stopping this is because of what you think it is.”

He added that “no matter how wrong you think this is in your mind, get this straight, in itself, it is not a sin against God,” emphasising that as a result of this belief that it is a sin, Satan used it to oppress people of God “making them feel ineffective an inefficient in the things of God.”

Reacting to Oyakhilome’s comment, the Prelate, Methodist Church Nigeria, Dr. Ola Makinde said there was only one way of having sex permitted by God in the Bible, which is only through marriage.

“There is only one way of having sex in the Bible which is natural. Masturbation is unnatural and unethical. Whatever is unnatural and unethical is abomination. I leave him to his own opinion,” he said.

According to Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly, every believer must be able to subject his body to control because it could lead to something else.

Popular Evangelist, Pastor Akin Fasawe said Masturbation is a sin as stipulated in the Bible, saying that death was even recommended in the Bible for those who practiced such things.

“Masturbation is a sin because when you masturbate, you will release. If the minister of God said masturbation is not a sin, he can easily tell his church that fornication is not a sin. The Bible recommends death in the Old Testament,” he stated.

According to Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Church, it is stated clearly in the Bible that masturbation is a sin against God.

“That is his own view. Where did he see it in the Bible that masturbation is not a sin? Maybe he has his own Bible. It is a bad thing. Maybe it is in his Bible,” he laughed.

Pastor Akin Akande of the Men of Purpose Ministry stated that masturbation is a sin.

“It is like abusing the gift of God. It is heresy. The Bible says it is a sin to derive pleasure outside the content of marriage,” he added.

Pastor Leke Akinola of the Upper Room Baptist, said self induced masturbation is a sin against God and that it is heresy for any minister of God to say it is not a sin.

According to Rev. Sam Ogedengbe, “masturbation is a sin and it is unbiblical. It is demonic and anyone engaging in it should know that it has spiritual connection.”

Cheap attempt to exonerate BH of its atrocities.

A gang of armed robbers
operating in Delta State
overpowered a military patrol
team in a gun battle at the
weekend, and fled with a
Toyota Hilux vehicle attached
to the squad after raiding a
bank at Umunede.
One of the soldiers was

of an insider at the bank,
successfully completed their
mission but shot dead a
passerby and injured a driver
for allegedly blocking their
escape route.
The hoodlums, reportedly
heading towards Warri after
the Umunede operation via
the Agbor-Obiaruku-Abraka
road, were confronted by the
military patrol team.
An eye witness said: “It was a
fierce gun duel. The robbers
overpowered the soldiers.
One of the soldiers sustained
bullet wounds and they
(robbers) took the soldiers
Hilux van and fled with it”.
The police spokesman
confirmed that the bank staff,
arrested, fled from the police
station some hours after he
was nabbed, but he was
tracked down and
investigation into the matter
was being handled by the
Criminal Investigation
Department of the state
police command.
Sunday Vanguard learnt that
the suspect was fingered in a
similar robbery incident in the
bank in the past as the person
that gave information to
robbers.

Ijebu-Ode (Ogun) – An Ijebu-Ode Customary Court in Ogun on Wednesday dissolved a 10-year-old marriage between of one Alhaji Ibrahim Oduwole and his wife, Shade, on the ground of childlessness and provocation.

Oduwole had earlier in February taken his wife before the court seeking the dissolution of the 10-year-old marriage accusing her of childlessness, provocation and uncaring attitude towards him.

Oduwole, 70, told the court that Shade, 35, could not bear him children in the last 10 years of their marriage, adding that she was fond of fighting him on a regular basis.

“In spite of the fact that my wife could not bear me children since we got married 10 years ago, she is also fond of fighting me and does not care about my well-being.

“I want immediate dissolution of the marriage, and I also want the court to order her to return all my property back to me,” he said.

The wife, in her response, told the court that her childlessness was not her fault, adding that she had several miscarriages.

“My childlessness is not my fault. I try many times to conceive but, all resulted in miscarriages. “I don’t fight him as he claimed but rather he is the one that use to fight me,” she said.

She, however, agreed that, the marriage be dissolved.

In his ruling, the President of the court, Mr T.O. Kanimodo, said that considering the clear evidence given by the plaintiff, the court had no choice but to dissolve the marriage.

“Having considered the evidence presented by the plaintiff, the 10-year-old marriage is hereby dissolved with immediate effect.”

The court also ordered the respondent to park her belongings from the plaintiff’s house with immediate effect. (NAN)

Like any observant parent, Mrs. Kehinde Oduntan became concerned when she wanted to wash the clothes of her children and noticed what looked like semen in her 12-year-old daughter’s underwear.

She quickly summoned her husband, Peter, and informed him of her discovery. Peter confirmed that what she saw was actually semen.

The parents questioned their daughter (name withheld) and after much threat, she told them their 47-year-old neighbour, Mr. Lateef Amuda, was the one that had sex with her.

“We asked her how many times he had had sex with her and she refused to tell us,” the mother told PUNCH Metro.

It was learnt that the girl later told nurses at a hospital that Amuda had had sex with her four different times.

When our correspondent visited the family at their home in Meiran area of Lagos, the girl maintained that the man actually raped her four times.

Her mother said, “We were angry; we could not fathom why Amuda, whom we have always seen as a family friend, could do such a thing to a young girl. My daughter said Amuda would come to our apartment and ask her to follow him. She said those times he slept with her, my husband and I were not around.

“She told us the last time he slept with her, she was sleeping on the bed and Amuda entered our apartment, woke her up and asked her to follow him.

“We then reported at the Oke-Odo Police Station and the police arrested him. While Amuda was locked up, his relatives came to beg us to get him released.

“They apologised to us to forget about the matter, that what had been done could not be undone. We were furious. I told them I was not a fool that the police would decide what to do with him.”

It was learnt that Amuda was arrested on February 2 and was released five days after. Since his release, the suspect had not returned home.

When our correspondent visited Amuda’s apartment, his wife and 15-year-old daughter refused to grant him audience when he identified himself and stated his mission.

The victim’s mother told PUNCH Metro that she took her daughter to the hospital for tests, including HIV and pregnancy tests. She said although the results were negative, there was need to repeat the tests based on medical advice.

“The hospital said we might have to come back for more tests in the near future because some things might not manifest in her body for now,” she said.

Amuda reportedly insisted on his innocence throughout the time he was locked up at the police cell.

However, he purportedly wrote a letter to the victim’s parents, in which he promised to pay the sum of N15,000 for the girl’s treatment.

The letter, shown to our correspondent was written in Yoruba and purportedly signed by two of Amuda’s relatives; Bose Adesan and Taju Amuda.

“I, Lateef Amuda, promise as a result of the incident at my residence, where I was accused of raping a girl, that I would pay the sum of N15, 000 to the family of Peter Oduntan for her treatment by the end of February,” the letter stated.

“We are angry that he has been released. The police said there was not much they could do on the case,” the girl’s mother said.

When our correspondent called Amuda on the telephone, he denied raping the girl.

Amuda said, “That girl is too young for me to do something like that to. I don’t know why she kept mentioning my name.

“I decided to pay the money on the orders of the police and my relatives. The IPO said I should go and apologise to the family and my relatives followed me to apologise.

“When we got there, the girl’s family told me that if I admitted that I raped her, they would drop the case. So, I said I did it because I did not want to prolong the matter. More so, my relatives told me not to argue with them and agreed.”

When asked why he had not been home since he was released from police custody, he said, “I have been feeling ashamed. You know when something like this happens, the whole neighbourhood would be making jest of the person accused.”

However, a source at the police station denied that the police advised Amuda to apologise to the girl’s family.

The source said, “God would judge him if he actually went to tell such a lie. I was infuriated when the mother of the girl informed me that Amuda had written an undertaken to pay the family some money.

“When I asked him, he said it was his family that told him to write the undertaking and apologise to the family. Nobody here (police station) is related to the family in any way. Which policeman would do such an unprofessional thing?”

The source said investigation was still ongoing on the case and that the medical report had not been delivered.

A woman in Akwa Ibom State, Mrs. Philomena Olawunmi, who had been in coma for three days after she was hit with the butt of a gun by a policeman, has regained consciousness.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Philomena, who owns a shop at 10, Bassey Akpan Street, Etoi, Uyo, was in coma for three days after she was attacked by a policeman.

It was gathered that a team of policemen attached to the Petroleum Taskforce at Osong Omah Estate in Uyo was invited by a driver with the Niger Delta Development Commission, who allegedly rammed into the woman’s shop on February 12.

Our correspondent learnt that some customers who were in the woman’s shop were furious and challenged the driver for driving recklessly.

The bus driver, who was suspected to be drunk, allegedly slapped one of the customers, Mr. Emmanuel Lawal, for challenging him.

Lawal, it was learnt, retaliated and that resulted in a fight between the two men. The NDDC’s driver was said to have invited the policemen to the scene.

Philomena said, “I heard a bang and quickly rushed out to see through a narrow entrance whether the men who were drinking outside the shop were affected by the accident or not. But I could only see the bus that rammed into the shop. I did not see anybody. But some of the customers, shouted to tell me that they were alive and that had only sustained minor injuries.

“When my husband, Mr. Ajibola Olawunmi, came, I told him that it was an accident. He asked if anybody had been killed or injured. I told him ‘no’ and that two of the men who were drinking only sustained minor injuries. Then, my husband asked the driver to go so that people would not continue to gather around the shop to incite unnecessary tension.

“As I was explaining the matter to my husband, one of the customers asked the driver to accept his fault; the driver then walked up to the customer and slapped him. When Lawal told him that he is an elderly man and would not like to engage in a brawl with him, the driver slapped him again.

“At this point, my husband asked the man to stop beating his brother. But before he knew it, the driver also slapped my husband twice. My husband and the driver began to struggle. When the driver freed himself, he brought out his telephone and called the three riot policemen.

“When the policemen arrived, they did not find out what happened. Rather, they descended on my husband and me. One of them used the butt of the gun to hit me on my head. That was the last thing I could remember.”

Ajibola said after his wife collapsed, the policemen further brutalised him, adding that some residents of the area later rushed them to a hospital.

Ajibola said, “They first moved my wife to a private hospital, Dominic Private Hospital, Ekpri Nsukara, Nwaniba, Uyo. But when they could not revive her, she was taken to the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital. She was revived after three days – that was on Wednesday.

“None of the policemen could wait and see what they had done. Instead, they cocked their guns and threatened to shoot everybody, jumped into their van and sped off.”

An eyewitness, Mr. Albert Bassey, said the action of the policemen showed that they were heartless and uncivilised.

“This is something we should not condone in this country. This is gross abuse of human rights; we must not continue to live with it. It is bad,” he said.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Onyekaozuru Orji, said any case of police brutality should be reported to the authorities.

He said, “If any policeman brutalises anybody, it is the duty of that person to report such a policeman to the authorities. We do not condone indiscipline; we have an internal cleansing system that takes care of act of indiscipline among erring members of the force.

“If the policeman involved is found to be culpable, then a departmental disciplinary measure will be applied against such a person. We don’t condone it. They are supposed to protect members of the public. It is not their duty to intimidate and inflict injury on any member of the public.”

Mosque won't make the list even with their daily call to prayer that sounds very annoying.
