A promising student of the University of Maiduguri has been killed by members of the Boko Haram sect ravaging the north-east.
It's a moment of sadness for the family and friends of this young man named Usman who was reportedly killed by Boko Haram insurgents yesterday after an ambush along Maiduguri- Damboa- Biu road, in Borno state.

According to people who know him, the student of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) who had written his final exams was executed while on his way home for a short vacation.

It would be recalled that members of the terrorist cell also attacked a mosque in the school through a suicide bomber during which a professor of the Veterinary department lost his life.

An undergraduate, identified as Olusoji Thompson has been arrested by the Ondo State Police Command for allegedly killing his 86-year-old father, High Chief Clifford Olumekun with an axe.

The suspect allegedly carried out the dastardly act at the deceased’s residence at No 1, Okeraye Street, Idepe in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Femi Joseph who disclosed the incident told DAILY POST on Friday that the suspect has been detained at the State Criminal Investigative Department of the command for further investigation.

He said the reason the suspect’s action is yet unknown at the time of this report but insisted that he (suspect) was still under interrogation.

He said, ” The incident happened on January 2, 2017 and we have arrested the suspect. We are still interrogating him to know why he carried out such an act.”
He stated further that after the police’s investigation, the suspect would be charged to court.

A source narrated that immediately after killing his father, the suspect allegedly parked the deceased’s lifeless body, wrapped it in a cloth and cleaned the blood stains in the room so as not to give room for suspicion that he (deceased) was murdered.

He (the suspect) was alleged to have fled the town immediately after committing the crime.

The source said, ” When the family members got into the room, they noticed some blood stains that were carelessly cleaned.

“They also found out that blood stains that were supposed to be on the deceased’s body had been carefully cleaned and his corpse was wrapped in a big cloth as if he died naturally. ”

The source added that the family immediately consulted the oracle to expose the killer but the suspect who had allegedly fled the town earlier, showed up and confessed to the crime. He was later handed over to the police.

An Inspector and five sergeants attached to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike have been dismissed by the Nigeria Police Force.

The affected police personnel, ex-Inspector Eyong Victor, ex-Sgts. Peter Ekpo, Oguni Goodluck, Orji Nwoke, Okpe Ezekiel and Tanko Akor were dismissed over alleged misuse of fire arms during the just concluded legislative rerun in the state.
The dismissed operatives were said to have disobeyed senior officers by preventing officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from moving election results of Emouha polling unit to the appropriate collation centre, an action that contravenes the provisions of Force Order 237.

Parading the ex-police officers on Friday in Abuja, the Force spokesperson, Donald Awunah said the behaviour of the recalcitrant operatives was a breach of directive and its unacceptable.

According to Awunah, the recalcitrant operatives in the course of discreet investigations were found to have disrespected directives, compromised and engaged in unprofessional acts.
He said, “These aforementioned police personnel while in the convoy of the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike on the date of election on December 10, 2016 misused the firearms in their possession contrary to the provisions of Force Order 237.

“The personnel became overzealous, took laws into their hands and opened fire, causing panic in the crowd.

“They joined in storming the Port Harcourt City Council Secretariat and prevented the movement of election results of Emouha polling unit to the appropriate collation centre designated by INEC, in flagrant disregard and disobedience to senior police officers present at the venue.

“They will be prosecuted under the Electoral Act to serve as a deterrent to others.

“Their actions are capable of bringing the entire Nigeria Police Force to disrepute and portray the Force in a very bad light as a lawless organization not guided by the rule of law.”

The Federal University of Technology, Minna, has expelled 700 students for various offences ranging from bad behaviour to poor academic performance in the 2015/2016 academic session.

The institution’s vice-chancellor, Prof. Musbau Akanji, revealed this on Thursday during the 30th matriculation ceremony of the university in Minna.

Akanji said the majority of the students were expelled due to low academic performance and anti-social behaviour.

According to him, the university has cancelled the practice of awarding pass mark for first degree courses, while the score has been raised. Consequently, most of those expelled did not score above 1.5 out of a possible GPA of 5.0.

He said the university hopes to reduce the high rate of failures recorded last year, adding that tutorial lecturers from the Postgraduate School would be engaged to assist the students.

The vice-chancellor, however, advised the matriculated students as well as all the students to be committed to their studies, urging them to shun examination malpractice, cultism, theft, and illicit drug use, adding that the university had set up the Committee Against Anti-Social Activities to monitor students who engage in anti-social behaviour.

Six days after being ousted from office, Chief Martins Azubuike, the former Speaker, Abia House of Assembly, says his uprightness cost him the job.

Azubuike, who made the disclosure on Sunday at a reception by his community, Umunneato-Ngwa, said he was impeached because of not consenting to the sharing of funds meant for projects.

He said, instead: “I chose to deploy available funds to projects and not sharing it among members’’.

The reception was organised by Umunneato-Ngwa, a socio-cultural body.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the group comprises three sister-local government areas of Osisioma Ngwa, Isiala Ngwa North and Isiala Ngwa South of the state.
He told the audience that he committed no impeachable offence but was removed because he did not accede to demands to share allocations to the house among the members.

Azubuike, highly revered by workers in the House of Assembly for his experience as a third-term legislator, listed the projects executed during his more than one year tenure as Speaker.

According to him, the projects include the completion of an office complex for the 24 legislators which was started in 2007.

Azubuike said other projects were the computerisation of the operations and a website for the Assembly to enable members to track its activities from within and outside the complex.

He said that he also procured vehicles for the members and two buses for committee assignments by members.

Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, has said the club has not received any concrete offer for midfielder, John Obi Mikel.

The Super Eagles captain is expected to quit Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window and Spanish side Valencia, has revealed it met with the player on Christmas Day in London

“For now, we have no news,” Conte replied when quizzed on Mikel’s situation during his pre-match conference on Tuesday.

Conte, who was speaking ahead of their Derby against Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Wednesday, said he has a full squad to pick his team from.

He, however, said he was not interested in breaking the record for an unbeaten run within a season, but in a win.

“No, me, the players, we want to win to take three points,” he added.

“The record, I repeat, is a great achievement above all because after these 13 wins in a row we took 39 points. The other situations are not important for us.

“This type of game gives you great motivation. Now every team wants to stop our run, not only Tottenham.

“If you see the table, we have only five points more than second-placed Liverpool, and seven points more than Manchester City, and, if Arsenal beat Bournemouth today, we are only six points from them.”

Conte continued: “The league is very open, and we are only in the first game of the second part of the season.

“Tomorrow we know we will have a really tough game against Tottenham.

“If after the game we have eight points more than the second team we will be pleased, but this league is very tough and you can lose points any game.”

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg told a Facebook user over the holiday period that he is not an atheist, Quartz reports, despite having previously described himself as a non-believer.

On December 25, Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page: "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from Priscilla, Max, Beast and me!"

One Facebook user replied: "Aren’t you an atheist?" to which Zuckerberg responded: "No. I was raised Jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important."

Zuckerberg previously referred to himself as an atheist on his Facebook page for several years, according to Quartz.

When Zuckerberg visited China in 2015, he prayed outside the Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. "Buddhism is an amazing religion and philosophy, and I have been learning more about it over time," he said at the time. "I hope to continue understanding the faith more deeply."

Here is Zuckerberg's full holiday message:

"Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from Priscilla, Max, Beast and me!

Seeing the moments of joy and family shared on Facebook today is one of my favorite things about our community.

I hope you're surrounded by friends and loved ones, and that you have a chance to reflect on all the meaningful things in your life.

May the light of your friendships continue to brighten your life and our entire world."

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Youth Frontier, has alleged that the Nigerian Army presented a “fake Boko Haram flag” to President Muhammadu Buhari recently.

Recall that the Army recently presented a flag belonging to Abubakar Shekau, leader of the Boko Haram sect to Buhari at the Presidential villa, Abuja.

The flag alongside a Qur’an belonging to Shekau was recovered by the Army during the capture of “Camp Zero,” a major stronghold of Boko Haram commanders, located in Sambisa Forest.

But the PDP youth, in a statement on its twitter handle, @PDPNYF said the presentation of the insurgent flag to Buhari was a disgrace to the “sovereignty” of Nigeria.

The tweet reads: “By presenting a FAKE Boko Haram flag as a sign of victory against the Sect. This is so unfortunate and a disgrace to our sovereignty.”

The group noted that the “Flag and Quoran are not Shekau head. Could Obama bring back Osama Bin Ladin’s Qoran and Flag without killing him?”
