Here are photos from the famous Girmache Shrine. This is a traditional shrine in Zuru Local Government Area in Kebbi State where thousands of harmless crocodiles reside in a peace of water surrounded by thick trees. According to reports, the Girmache Shrine is a place of worship, the local inhabitants visit this place and offer sacrifices to the gods of the shrine and present gifts to the crocodiles - some of them make special request to the shrine.

According to Jalaludeen Maradun who shared this, the Girmache shrine is also a bus stop for some "clean" politicians. The custodians of the Girmache Shrine are always in animal skin rugs - the only clothing approved by the gods.

Following the tension between members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and soldiers in Abia state, armed military men were seen escorting Hausa men for their prayers at the mosque earlier today in Aba. This was done to avoid the Hausa people from being attacked or mobbed by angry Aba residents who might want to take advantage of the chaos to unleash mayhem on them.

A Nigerian fraudster who threw a wallet full of bogus credit cards out of his window when officers of the National Crime Agency NCA officers arrived to arrest him has been jailed for two years and four months. Alexander Akinyele, 37, of Doncaster Place, Barrow-in-Furness, had earlier pleaded guilty to ten fraud offences, a Computer Misuse Act Offence and to possession of a false ID with intent.

According to the NCA, officers arrived at Akinyele’s home in August 2016. Moments before his arrest, Akinyele threw a wallet containing eight fraudulent credit and store cards and a forged driving licence out of a window.

The subsequent NCA investigation revealed he had possession of 500 valid usernames and passwords for online Sky accounts and the same number for BT accounts which he had bought on the internet.

During their search of Akinyele’s house, NCA officers found he had also stolen several peoples’ personal details, including those of a 74-year-old man, in order to set up bank and credit card accounts and to buy access to Netflix and Argos.

Sentencing him today at Preston Crown Court, Judge Heather Lloyd described Akinyele's criminal activity as "a persistent and serious offence."

NCA officer Andrew Shorrock said: “Akinyele used other people’s identities for financial gain, including that of a 74-year-old man. When Akinyele finally had to accept responsibility himself he resorted to really quite desperate measures, throwing evidence out of the window.

“The effect of ID fraud on victims, who are often the most vulnerable in our society, can last for a long time. But there are simple steps you can take to reduce your chances of being a victim.

Joseph Odok, a lecturer at the University of Calabar who was attacked by some cult boys in Calabar, Cross River state capital on September 4th - has revealed he was set up for assassination by a lady. The lawyer and activist who was cut with machete and other weapons during the attack – shared the below on his Facebook account. .

I was never involved in any visa racketeering---Odok

"The girl that set me up for assassination claimed she was my student and needed counsel as whether to abandon school for a business in Dubai. She wanted to trade on human hair. I told her I have never traveled out of Nigeria nor have I ever done a transaction involving a Visa.

"I told her I could only make inquiries to assist her. I called a friend who asked for her age. He asked for her age and she said she was 28. He categorically told her that Visa cannot be guaranteed for a girl who is less than 30 according to Nigerian immigration laws. According to him, a girl who is less than 30 can only travel with a guardian or if she is married

"No money was involved or discussed. Our conversation was on phone and the security agencies are with the girl's phone, so truth can't be hidden because our communication can easily be investigated", Odok said.

Odok, had on Tuesday gone to the DSS office in Calabar to give his statement over the attack. He was never in detention as it was reported in some corners.

When contacted a few days later, the DSS responded by saying that the matter has been transferred to the state police command for further investigation.

Police angle...

Asp Irene Ugbk, the state police spokesperson, who confirmed that the case has been handed over to them, disclosed that it the matter was all centred on visa procurement.

"We have the girl in our custody and she is giving us useful information to expand the scope of our investigation. The three guys who stabbed the complainant are still at large and we are working hard to arrest them.

"Some online blogs qouted me wrongly and the state command is not pleased with that", Irene lamented.

Questions begging for answers..

Why is the girl still in custody and Odok is allowed to walk the street freely?

Why has she remained un-named since the ugly incident happened?

If Odok, according to some mis-guided information has been in Visa racketeering, why has the girl not mentioned the amount involved?

Conscience is an open wound and only truth can heal it.

You can only lie about the dead. Odok is alive and the truth will play out very soon.

Those trying to assassinate and blackmail his character have failed.

George Odok, I affirm him to represent what I told him in my interview with him
