On Sunday, January 7, 2018, soldiers deployed to Arufu a boundary town between Taraba and Benue State disarmed and arrested 9 Civilian Joint Task Force CJTF with 5 AK 47 rifles. According to reports, initially a reinforcement of CJTF came to prevent the security operatives from transporting the arrested CJTF to Benue headquarters. The reinforcements later withdrew.

During the preliminary investigation the arrested CJTF claimed that the weapons were issued to them by some elements in Benue state as they reportedly said they are a legally constituted body by the Benue state government.

Interrogation of the suspected militia revealed that the gang had members of about 60 men camped in Gbeyi, Benue state. It was also gathered that over 1,000 of the gang team were stationed at different camps while 700 out of them bear arms.

The group said they were being trained by some ex-service men assembled all over Benue state.

They are currently in custody as investigation continues.

A Nigerian Medical Doctor and Public Health Enthusiast, Obinna Ebirim, has revealed how he has taken a part-time job as a kitchen assistant in the United Kingdom just to make some extra bucks. According to the former personal Assistant to Commissioner of Health in Imo state, he did this despite his qualification because he is yet to practice his profession in the UK as he's currently doing his Master's programme at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland...

Below is what the University Of Port-Harcourt graduate shared on his social media page;

The picture & story they won’t share on #SocialMedia about studying in the U.K.: If you are unqualified to practice your profession here or not on scholarship like me, then you might have to take up a Part time Kitchen Assistant job intermittently, like I did today, to add some extra quid to your pocket.

The funniest part of the job today, was when the boss in the kitchen consulted me to explain why you don’t take antibiotics for common cold (although it’s not a common cold here like in Nigeria). After I moved the stuff on the viral pathology, he asked me, “boy what are you doing here” and I answered, “I’m not licensed to practice medicine in the U.K.”. #DignityOfLabour #Humble #BeingReal..
