chatinent: This route to Italy is very dangerous and you folks keep plying.
How can you sell all your property and get ₦10m and next thing is following Libya to Italy?
Omo, I know Nigeria is done for but following the Mediterranean sea route is a 5 to 95% chance of survival.
What if sea creatures attack!
Who has 10m wont travel through this route bro...i guess that most of these guys embark on this trip with the little they have, as in get rich or die trying
LordIsaac: This same man begged me three weeks ago and I genuinely promised to find him something when I return. Eya...anyways, truth is it's not professional!
They beg a lot. There is one at MMIA too with scar at the back of head. That guy is a thief. He can make newbies miss their flight if they "no shake body". Terrible lots
Salewa97: Yul Edochie and Seyi Tinubu together? This is a powerful duo! It shows the growing influence of the Tinubu family in the entertainment and political space. Unity is key for our progress!
suckmedownthere: A country like that will kick out corruption and turn their country's economy around for good for generations yet unborn, that's why America is great they will make sure any corrupt politician never go unpunished..... But here even most parents will support evil there children do as long as it doesn't affect them for now...
SpaceX: Why are we having a s*mp epidemic? What is all this nonsense am seeing these days? S*mps are always in fantasy world hoping to find the love of their life that doesn't exist. "She is the one for me" mitches all over the place.
Niger gov under attack for ordering security aides to slap cleric
Niger State Governor, Mohammed Bago, has come under attack for ordering his security aides to slap one of the Islamic clerics at a gathering.
Bago, in a video seen by Sunday PUNCH, ordered his aide to ‘slap’ the cleric.
“Slap him, very well. I said slap him. Go and arrest him. Deal with him well-well”, the governor ordered.
He thereafter uttered a Hausa idiomatic expression which was interpreted as “I have power.”
The cleric, who knelt down, was dragged away from the gathering by one of the security operatives suspected to be an officer of the Department of State Services.
Some of the people at the gathering were laughing and giggling when the governor gave the order.
The offence committed by the cleric was not known, but sources said he wanted to give the closing prayer at the event which the governor opposed.
Reacting on social media on Saturday, many Nigerians described the governor’s action as an abuse of power.
A popular skit maker, Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, wrote, “A governor who has sworn to serve the people is ordering a security agent to assault the same citizen he sworn to serve. See security agent too, flexing muscles on a man already on his knees. Continue pushing the people until they get to the wall.
“See my people laughing and giggling while their brother, a fellow human being like them was being assaulted by the same person that swore to serve and protect them.”
Also a social media user identified as @greatjoe01 tweeted, “I sincerely understand when people argue against state policing for fear of this kind of abuse of power from the governors. But what exactly are the governors not doing with the federal police now?
“Here is a DSS agent being ordered to carry out illegality. What are we afraid of?”
Speaking to Sunday PUNCH, a human rights lawyer, Mr Deji Ajare, condemned the governor’s action, describing it as a violation of the cleric’s right.
However, when contacted, the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, said he was not aware of the viral video.
He said, “I am not aware of the video. Is it social media work? I will look for it, let me check.”
According to the madam, the housemaid has a room that is ensuite but yet decided to urinate inside the kitchen using her mug. She also mentioned that she pays the maid more money than she is supposed to pay her.
Two shot and one kidnapped in a bank robbery operation in Delta
Two individuals have been reportedly shot, while one person was abducted by unidentified gunmen who attacked a commercial bank in the Ughelli area of the state.
The unidentified men allegedly trailed a bank customer who was about to make a deposit and blocked him outside the bank but met with resistance from operatives of the Delta State Police Command.
Sharing videos from the attack, social media user #eonsintelligenc wrote:
“A branch of the United Bank for Africa in Ughelli, Delta State, was attacked by unidentified gunmen in a brazen daylight robbery attempt this afternoon. Report indicates that the assailants trailed a bank customer who was about to make a deposit and blocked him outside the bank. Within three minutes of the customer entering the bank, the gunmen began their operation.
The robbers were met with resistance from police officers stationed at the bank, leading to a gunfight that prevented the assailants from entering the building. During the clash, two individuals were reportedly shot, and one person was abducted. The robbers escaped in a gold-coloured Toyota Venza. The injured victims were swiftly transported to an undisclosed hospital for medical treatment.”
Gunmen rob Delta bank customer, police begin probe
A customer of a new generation bank in Ughelli, Delta State, was on Friday mugged by gunmen suspected to be armed robbers while he was on its premises to deposit some money.
City Round gathered that the gunmen numbering about five in a Toyota Venza, had trailed the unidentified customer to the bank premises on Isoko Road before they shot sporadically which hit the bank’s security guard and two other individuals.
Witnesses said the customer had yet to enter the banking hall when the gunmen struck and eventually made away with three ‘Ghana Must Go’ bags containing money.
The security guard and two others were said to have sustained gunshot injuries from the hoodlums who were reportedly armed with sophisticated ammunition and operated unchallenged before they zoomed off the bank premises.
Confirming the incident to our correspondent, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Edafe Bright, said, “A customer who was going to the bank to deposit money was double-crossed before he could enter the bank and robbed. It’s not a bank robbery. Nigerians need to avoid sensation. Nobody died, but someone sustained an injury.
"The gunmen invaded the bank in Delta and shot a security guard and others. An investigation has since commenced. Someone was injured and taken to the hospital, but it’s not certain if it was the customer.”
