BY CHIDI NKWOPARA
OWERRI—A mild drama played out in Orlu, ImoState, when a commercial motorcyclist, a father of two (names withheld), was caught pants down making love to a married woman in a lonely bush.

While the 45-year-old housewife was making a case of rape against the randy motorcyclist, the 30-year-old man insisted that the woman was his concubine.

Giving account of what transpired to the police, the woman said she engaged the motorcyclist at Orlu to take her to her matrimonial home at Obibi-Ochasi.

She said when they got to a solitary area along the route, the man stopped ostensibly to ease himself.

She further told the police that while she was waiting for him to finish easing himself, the man emerged and started asking that they sleep together, adding that when she refused the amorous advance, the man grabbed her and forcefully lifted her into the bush.

The woman equally claimed that the rapist tore her inner wears to shreds, over-powered and raped her.

In his defence, the man claimed that the woman had been his concubine for years, adding that he had previously had fun with her at different times and places, including the spot where they were caught in the act.

He also claimed that he called the woman on her mobile line and asked her to meet him at the agreed spot in Orlu.

The man also claimed that when they got to the bush, the woman stripped herself naked, spread her wrapper on the ground and laid down before he started the act.

The randy motorcyclist, however, agreed that along the line there was a minor misunderstanding on the amount he should pay after they had satisfied themselves.

While the man claimed that the woman was asking for N500 for the service, he offered N200, which he said was the only money on him at the time.

Vanguard equally gathered that plan was in top gear to arraign the alleged rapist in court to face trial.

Niger Delta most wanted criminal and kidnap kingpin, Kelvin Ibruvwe, was on Wednesday morning captured by operatives of the State Security Services (SSS) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The notorious kidnap suspect was nabbed seven days after he issued a 60-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to develop Urhobo areas of Delta State in order to avert unprecedented attack on oil facility.

A special squad deployed from SSS Headquarters, Abuja and local security operatives in Delta State traced him to a hotel where he was arrested at about 3am.

Meanwhile, an intense gunfight is raging between his supporters and security operatives in Kokori, his hometown at the time of this report.

It was gathered that youths armed with sophisticated weapons opened fire on troops sent to secure the town.

There has been notion among Nigerians that Malaysia came to Nigeria some years ago to get seedlings for oil palm which has placed the country as number one oil palm producing country while Nigeria lags behind in ranking.
But this assertion was debunked recently by crop scientists when some select journalists, fellows of the Biosciences for Farming in Africa (B4FA,) were in the Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research (NIFOR).
JIMOH BABATUNDE captured the presentations of Dr. (Mrs.) Christy Okwuagwu, the most senior crop scientist at the institute.
Here is an excerpt.
On how Malaysia got its oil palm seeds
Malaysia has overtaken Nigeria in palm oil production. I want you to see the well documented origin of the very original planting materials for oil palm in Malaysia.
The earliest record of palm into Far East Asia was four seedlings planted in a botanical garden in 1848 in java in the Dutch East Indies.
Two of these were from Amsterdam botanical garden, but it is not known how they originated, the other from Bogo or Mauritius in Indian Ocean. The palm that sprang from these four seedlings was all quite similar and they were supposed originally produced from Amsterdam through some African unknown origin.
These four seedlings formed the entire source of the planting materials in Malaysia and that we say the entire population of planting materials in Malaysia have a very narrow genetic base. We don’t normally entirely depend on them for breeding and development. Actually it is necessary they depend on us and subsequent materials to improve their planting materials.
The original materials never came from Africa, never came from Nigeria. They were from Dutch expedition of the early 19th century and because they discovered that the crops had economic advantage in their land they started multiplying these seedlings and raising them as plantation crops. They don’t have natural populations. This is the source of everything in south East Asia.
So, there is no way to assume that Malaysia came to Nigeria and got planting materials and now they have over taken us. They never did. People say this carelessly but they did not. I know you are journalists, this is one of the basic information I want you to debunk in every situation, because we know truly that it is true the Dutch expedition that the Malaysians had these planting materials in the 19th century.
On the birth of NIFOR
Plantation had expanded in South East Asia at that time, but, our people are still depending on the wide groves, so come the turn of the 20th century they found it very necessary to have research stations to develop plantation technology and by 1922 they started going to the wide groves to do genetic selections and by 1939 NIFOR was established, where all the genetic materials will be assembled, evaluated and developed into a plantation crop.
Plantation crop never existed in this country. It was the hope of the colonial masters that plantation crops developed and once the plantation crop develops, the oil palm develops into a plantation crop, and then they can compete with organised south East Asia that already had their own plantation crop development.
This never happened unfortunately, after 1939 we now had research into oil palm with NIFOR as headquarters, we had in Ghana, Freetown, Sierra Leone. These were the three centres where these centres were established. Nigeria remains the oil palm station.
Come 1954 the name was changed to West African oil palm research institute, no longer a research station, but a research institute. A full fledge research institute not just to carry out research on genetic development, but other diverse technology development to support the industry.
We became WIFOR, West African Oil Research Institute, but when the component countries became independent, they took their own research stations to become their national research stations. Ours became Nigerian institute for oil palm research that is what we are today.
This is little background to two information I want to pass across, that one Malaysia never came to Nigeria to collect planting materials and two that NIFOR actually existed because of the threat that Malaysia posed to continuous exploitation of wide groves.
If agric research has made significant impact in Nigeria
Yes and no. Yes because almost all the technology, the fundamental technologies for oil palm development originated from the research here. All the technologies that support oil palm development came from here.
The early research that was carried in WIFOR and NIFOR has been the root of basic information that support plantation development, so it has been very positive towards us Nigerians or Africa.
African countries have been characterized by instabilities of policies. These instabilities of policies and developments have stunted the growth in plantation developments.
Concerted efforts have not been made over the years as it has been in South-East Asia countries like Indonesia and Malaysia in developing those crops. The industries in this country have not grown at the rate the research development has grown.
The oil boom became a doom because palm produce became unimportant, relatively unimportant to our total economic well being. We are totally dependent on petroleum. And so efforts to establish plantations and go forward with this crop did not grow.
Over the years, the federal government made interventions, but they are inconsistent and irregular , so they do not sustain developments. We had the Directorate of Food Roads and Rural Infrastructure (DFFIR) in the 80s, in the 90s we had other programs, in the early 21th century, we started with VODEM and now we are coming to ATA.
None of them are linked, a government wakes up and develop his, when the government goes, it dies. Another government comes in with another and the circle continues and so the policies are not carrying the nation along. They are not carrying the nation, it is not coursing development in the industry, and the private people are not mobilized.
The policies do not mobilize the private people who are to develop the industry and the industry is where it is now, we are net importer of vegetable oil. More than 70% of our palm oil still comes from the wide grove. We are still exploiting the wide grove.
Productivity in the wide grove is still very low, small holder productivity very low, very few oil palm estate, very few Nigerians are coming out to put their money where their mouth is. This crop which is native to us, we have not done the goods we should have done with it.
Other countries which have embraced it have seen progress and are really very fortunate. I know that our environment is not the best compared to south east Asia, but we have planting materials which are so good and their yield are very comparable with average yield in south east Asia.
It is to get the industry committed to the development of this crop and I am very glad to see young people coming forward to know what is to be done and you are a mouth piece of the nation, so I am glad you are going to carry this message to our people that they should go into plantation development.
On oil plantation’s impact on environment
Oil plant plantation stabilizes the environment when we are are talking of development, or ozone depletion. The oil palm is one single plant that cleans the environment.
Malaysia prides itself of the best environment in the world because its environment is totally green. Everywhere is green. It has a beautiful shielding effect against the ozone and I want you to have a clarion call with us that people should please come back to our heritage.
Let the groundnut spring up in the north again, the cocoa boom in the west again while in the mid west and the east let the oil palm thrive again. The goodness of it is that the oil palm has grown beyond the mid west and the east. Nassarawa is a good example.
I was in Nassarawa Eggom LGA sometimes ago and they are doing more than the local governments here in Benin in making sure farmers get oil palm seedlings and for that reason they attracted us (NIFOR) to come to them , we established an outreach station for them.
Every year we make sure we satisfy them with the seedlings which the farmers demand very well. In Taraba state, the whole stripe along the Gembu, Mabilla plateau is excellent, it is just like Malaysia.
It has good soil, good rain fall, but people are not planting. We had a plantation in Gembu in the 80s; the yield was as if you were in Calabar.

Sapele — Authorities of Sapele General Hospital, Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State, have denied the allegation by some health workers attached to the Health and Environment Department of Sapele council that no fewer than 10 victims, who bought and consumed some allegedly poisoned animal hide, popularly called Pomo, were sick and lying in critical condition at the hospital.
It was alleged that the said pomo was purchased at Sapele Main Market.
Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Oyobere Onwoke, who rebuffed the claim of alleged sick patients, victims of the poisoned pomo, conducted newsmen around the hospital. He challenged the health workers to come forward and point out any patient that is a victim.
Free-for-all between meat sellers, health workers
The police in Sapele, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Mamma Rigau, earlier in the week, quelled what would have led to a major clash between the health officers of Sapele council and a large number of meat sellers in Sapele main market.
The allegation was that some of the meat sellers had injected a chemical, usually used in embalming corpses, into the pomo they were selling to make the said pomo increases in size and attract customers.
The health workers confiscated over N200,000 worth of pomo, arrested some of the meat sellers and handed them to the police for prosecution.
The accusation, it was gathered, angered the meat sellers, who insisted that there were no poisoned meat in the market, leading to a free-for-all in the market.
On confiscated pomo
Head, Departed of Health and Environmental of the council, Mr. S. Jekwe was not available for comments at press time.
A senior health official, who craved anonymity, confirmed that the confiscated pomo had been buried, while some were left for laboratory test. He also said that the poisoned pomo were not from cows but from a yet to be ascertained animal.
Effort to see some of the allegedly poisoned pomo kept for laboratory test was rebuffed by the health officials on duty, who claimed that only their HOD could grant such permission.

Nuhu Ribadu
By SaharaReporters, New York
Founding chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, today told the Southwark Crown Court that former Governor James Onanefe Ibori of Delta State stole approximately half of the revenue allocation that accrued to his state during his two terms in office.
Mr. Ribadu made the astonishing disclosure when he testified about his involvement in the investigation of Mr. Ibori who is serving a 13-year jail sentence in the UK.
In an emotional testimony, the former EFCC boss detailed how the grasping ex-governor offered him a $19 million bribe to persuade him to drop the prosecution of Mr. Ibori who massively looted the funds of his state. Mr. Ibori had brought the bribe money in large sacks of cash to the Abuja home of Andy Uba, a domestic assistant to former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Mr. Ribadu told the UK court that he took possession of the cash produced by Mr. Ibori, and then deposited it at the Central Bank of Nigeria. He added that the rogue former governor, believing that he had accepted the bribe, kept bugging him to provide him with a letter declaring him free of corruption.
For the first time ever, the former EFCC boss also produced photos of the sacks of cash given to him by the former governor.
Mr. Ribadu told the court that EFCC investigations established that Mr. Ibori must have stolen at least $500 million, representing 50% of the revenue that accrued to the state in the eight years that the jailed former governor was in office.
Mr. Ribadu also gave a fascinating account of how he was summarily removed from office five days after he arrested Mr. Ibori in Abuja. He also told the court about attempts made on his life by people linked to the former governor as well as the then Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro, who is the current chairman of the Police Service Commission – even though he did not mention Mr. Okiro by name.
He further told the British court that EFCC operatives arrested Mr. Ibori after a dramatic chase on the streets of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
Mr. Ribadu stated that he had made enormous sacrifices to ensure that he lived to tell his story, detailing how he fled Nigeria on a motorbike to Benin Republic from where he boarded an Air France flight to Paris. From France, he traveled to the UK where he was offered a fellowship by Oxford University.
Mr. Ribadu also narrated the role played by Nigeria’s former Attorney General, Michael Aondoakaa to prevent him from receiving his certificate from the Nigerian Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) at Kuru, Jos. After his removal as EFCC chair, Mr. Ribadu was ordered to proceed to NIPSS for studies, but was humiliated on the day of graduation in front of his family when he was forcibly removed from the venue, reportedly for failure to wear his police uniform.
He told the court that Mr. Ibori was the most powerful influence on the government of the late Nigerian president, Umaru Yar’Adua.
The former chairman of the EFCC will continue his testimony tomorrow at the Southwark Crown Court. He will be cross-examined by Mr. Ibori’s lawyers.

delors: Nairaland and its bunch of mediocre MODs should step up their game. Learn from other social sites - reddit and co. Just because a story has a shocker doesnt not mean it should hit the FP especially one without a source. What do we have here? Just a picture of kpomo sellers (not even kpomo, cow legs), sitting in front of God-knows-where, and you break it on the FP without any form of authenticity. Na wah o.
I know your plan is to drive traffic since Tonto Dikeh, Wizkid, Boko haram and PDP news dont sell again here. Shame!
Reddit banned a section of its forum dedicated to helping to track suspected terrorists few days ago because of unveriable reports submitted daily by members. Facebook closed the account of an online dating site that used the picture of Rahteh Pateah (the 17yr canadian who attempted suicide few months ago) for ad. Learn, Nairaland, learn!
Better stories wey go do body better dey for there for different sections, but our political MODs no FP them because Tonto Dikeh and co nor dey inside the stories. Na yeye traffic stories una dey FP, hustling for commenters like common greenhorn bloggers.
You clone stories from Linda Ekeji, Everywhere in Nigeria, etc and they take priority gracing the FP like play play while those who use their brains to come up with impressive articles are sidelined. Update your platform, u nor gree, improve your features, for where? You nor gree...I better start patronizing others now. SMH

Blendy77: Someone made a statement on the facebook page that these people dont look like people under arrest. That its possible they just sat in front of their house waiting for customers. How come there is no media source except a photograph from facebook. Looking at this picture critically, the comment actully made sense. No police, no chains, just women sitting down in front of basins of kpomo. Poster please provide us with source because a matter as serious as this should be in the press by now.

I have gone to many BMW workshops but they keep telling me different things, i think BMW M series has this problem but i must say it is lovely to drive.

Just incase you are wondering, NO BE ME GET THE BMW.

dommfa: Some nigerian men can be annoyingly shallow, . First of , the girl in question doesn't look ugly to me..even paul isn't looking his best in the picture and I thought it should be obvious to every right thinking human being that it is not a well taken picture. I'm sure if we had seen a so called sophisticated girl with 50inches peruvian weave, 10inch heels and a smoking red hot short dress with an overmade face, you'd have called her beetch, gold digger, ashawo and all sorts. You'd have zero-ed her as a non-wifey material.

Now you see a simple girl In her semi natural state and badly taken picture and all you can do is to diss her? And question paul's taste? SMH.

Let me even assume for a minute that she's that pretty, since when did looks become the only\primary criterion to choosing a life partner?

Grow up y'all..you know yourselves.

Ahhhhh! Me?
