 Politics › South West Amotekun Is Illegal Security Outfit ―FG Declares by Dpaulie(op): 7:20pm On Jan 14, 2020 |
Barely a few days after the inauguration of a security outfit known as Operation Amotekun by South-West states, the Federal Government has declared the paramilitary outfit as illegal as it is not backed by any known law in the land. The Attorney General of the Federation made the feeling of the government known in a statement made available to Vanguard on Tuesday. In the statement signed by the Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Dr Umar Gwandu, the government said the issue of defence and security fell under the exclusive list and not with the state. The statement reads in part: “The setting up of the paramilitary organization called “Amotekun” is illegal and runs contrary to the provisions of the Nigerian law. “The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) has established the Army, Navy and Airforce, including the Police and other numerous paramilitary organisations for the purpose of the defence of Nigeria. “As a consequence of this, no State Government, whether singly or in a group has the legal right and competence to establish any form of organization or agency for the defence of Nigeria or any of its constituent parts. “This is sanctioned by the provision of Item 45 of the Second Schedule of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) authorizing the Police and other Federal Government security services established by law to maintain law and order. “The law will take its natural course in relation to excesses associated with organization, administration and participation in “Amotekun” or continuous association with it as an association. “Finally, it is important to put on record that the Office of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice was not consulted on the matter. “If it had, proper information and guidance would have been offered to ensure that Nigeria’s defence and corporate entity are preserved at all times.” Vanguard news

| Crime › 5 Arrested For Stealing Female Underwears In Lagos by Dpaulie(op): 1:15pm On Jan 13, 2020 |
Five persons including a 15-year-old boy have been arrested in Ojo Area of Lagos for stealing female underwears. A 15-year-old boy who was among the arrested suspects confessed to have been stealing female underwears in the area for about a year. The teenager, Chukwajekwu Eziigbo, was arrested alongside three other teenagers and an adult he alleged he had been taking the stolen underwears to. He was said to have been sighted by a resident who had gone out to urinate. The resident saw him collecting underwears on a cloth line in a building in Ojo area of the state. The resident alerted his neighbours who subsequently arrested the teenager and handed him over to policemen. During interrogation, the suspect said, “I have been stealing female pants for about a year now, from different streets in Ojo. “Thereafter, I would take them to some women who would give me stipends. I don’t know what they do with the pants,” he said. Further investigation led to the arrest of four other persons: Chidinma Obietuake, 17; Chikwaka Chidima Jemfe, 17; Gold Enyinnaya, 23 and Akomas Amarachi, 26years . The suspects are all residents of Ilufe area of Ojo, Lagos state. Sources: vanguard newspaper

When he signed for Barcelona fc at the age of 13, they offered to pay for his daily treatment and he ultimately grew to 5'7". Taking drugs to become a professional is not NATURAL 6 Likes 1 Share |
| Crime › Herdsmen Deny Hoisting Flag To Take Over Land In Ekiti by Dpaulie(op): 5:45pm On Jan 12, 2020 |
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria on Friday denied responsibility for the flag allegedly hoisted in the Orin Farm Settlement in Orin Ekiti in the Ido/Osi Council Area of Ekiti State in December last year. The Head of Miyetti Allah in the area, Alhaji Adamu Abashe, also absolved members of the association of the destruction of the farms of the natives of the community. He spoke in Ado Ekiti at a consultative meeting organised by the state government between the Orin Ekiti community and the herdsmen as part of efforts to find a lasting solution to the crisis between them, just as the community insisted that Miyetti Allah in the area were responsible. The community had in December protested alleged destruction of their farms by the herdsmen and hoisting of a red flag in the farm which they alleged indicated danger and sign of plot to forcibly take over their land from them. Abashe said, “We do not know how the flags got there. We were not responsible. Those perpetrating troubles in the area are herders from other states and not those that are resident in the area. Those perpetrating killings and destruction of farmlands in Orin are outsiders but with efforts coming from government, Orin community and Fulani people, all these issues will be resolved. “We have lived in Orin Ekiti for over 30 years. We have been living together peacefully. When I was kidnapped, I did not say Orin Ekiti people were responsible, because we are brothers. It was after my kidnap that the kidnappers came to kill a Tiv woman in that farmstead. “When they kidnapped my labourer, I paid N300,000 as ransom and I didn’t say Orin people were behind it. I am not happy with the killings and destruction in Orin. We are not planning evil for these people that we had lived peacefully with. “Orin people are not my enemies, but the bandits rearing in the town caused this disagreement. But if you have anything against me, kindly forgive me. Let us live together as brothers,” he pleaded. Mr Kayode Omotoso, who conveyed the community’s resolution, insisted that Fulani herders in the area were responsible for killings, hoisting of the flags and destruction of farms worth over N50 million in the town, hence should leave. Omotoso said, “Two years ago, they hoisted one white flag with red linings and 15 days after, a pregnant Tiv woman was killed. Our kinsman, Mr Emmanuel Ilori, was killed last year and these scenarios may not allow us to allow Fulani herders to live with us. “These people are giving us a lot of discomfort. We appeal to Ekiti State government to ask them to leave. We don’t want Fulani on our land anymore. We are peaceful people. We don’t want Orin Ekiti to be known for negative news.” Ekiti State Commissioner for Information, Mr Muyiwa Olumilua and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Brigadier General Ebenezer Ogundana (retd), advised the feuding parties to tolerate each other in the interest of peace, saying, “The essence of this discussion is how we can live together peacefully”. Olumilua, who said the submissions of both sides would be considered and addressed, added, “What is more important to the Governor Kayode Fayemi administration is peaceful coexistence. Peace is key to achieve this”. Ogundana said that the state government would investigate those behind the killings, destruction of farms and hoisting of flag. The punch newspaper |
| Crime › I’m Laborer, Not Fish Farm Investor, Man Who Used President’s Daughter’s Number by Dpaulie(op): 11:32am On Jan 12, 2020 |
I only used number once to solicit cash assistance — Suspect confesses GSM number legally issued — service provider Soni Daniel – Abuja Details of the offense allegedly committed by the man, who reportedly deployed a phone number with the name of President’s daughter on it to undertake criminal activities have begun to emerge. Sunday Vanguard investigation has also shown that the suspect, who has since been freed by the Department of State Services, is not a fish farm investor as claimed but a laborer who is paid a pittance on pay-as-you-work basis by the owner of the fish farm. Documents exclusively sighted by Sunday Vanguard, showed that the suspect, Okolie Ifediukwude Anthony, a native of Umuezei Quarters of Asaba, Delta State, was working in a small fish farm owned by one John Freeman in Otuogwu and paid a daily wage by the owner before he was caught for using the phone for criminal pursuits. The document also indicates that before he ventured into the fish farm business, Okolie Anthony was involved in betting game business, which he later gave up on the grounds that it was not profitable. “I did sales of recharge with my sister now married for a while before my uncle opened a Betting shop for me to serve as an agent from 2016-2018. I later sold the shop because the business was not moving and was not bringing profit,”Okolie confessed in the document seen by Sunday Vanguard. “I am currently searching for job but managing a small fish pond with Mr. John Freeman in his compound located at Otuogwu, Asaba, Delta State and paid a small amount of money each day I visit the farm and also help out in doing some writing for the owner since his age does not allow him to hold bird and write,” Okolie said. On how he came about the SIM that bears the name Hanan Buhari, Okolie said he bought the Subscribers Identification Module, SIM, from a roadside shop in Asaba having misplaced his previous number without knowing that the original owner had the name registered by the service provider. Okolie confessed however that he was shocked to discover that each time he made calls with the number 09035666662, the true caller would indicate ‘Hanan Buhari’, a situation that made him to plan to report to MTN, the service provider, to ‘rectify the problem’ but he never reported until he was arrested. Sunday Vanguard found out that Okolie actually ran into trouble with security agencies after he started posing as a woman and pretending as if he was the President’s daughter and original owner of the SIM all in a bid to curry favour from unsuspecting members of the public. Okolie, records show, began to make brisk business once he discovered that the phone number he was holding was more of a ‘goldmine’ and consequently began to solicit financial assistance from key Nigerians who knew the first family’s daughter. Findings show that one of the personalities Okolie called with the number and solicited for cash assistance, became uncomfortable with the voice, which he suspected was not that of a woman even though the true caller showed the owner to be that of Hanan. Okolie confessed: “I was arrested on July 21, 2019 after I had used the phone to chat with an unknown number which I asked for financial assistance and the man promised to assist me but I never talked with him again because I did not know who the person was”. A source close to the service provider, who issued the controversial SIM to Okolie, confirmed on Saturday night that the number was validly issued to Okolie after it was duly retrieved from the original user having been dormant for a long time in accordance with industry practice in order to keep its subscribers base healthy. The source said the company was however not responsible for the intentions to which the subscriber deployed the SIM and should not be held accountable for such as its responsibility ends with the issuance. It will be recalled that certain groups and individuals had recently claimed that Okolie was about to commit suicide having been forced to abandon his wife and fish farm business due to his arrest and detention for 10 weeks, during which he sad he was well treated by the DSS. Contrary to claims tha he was about to lose his wife, the suspect submits in the document: “I am single, Christian and self-employed and currently searching for job”. Vanguard |
| Foreign Affairs › We Are Inspired By Your Courage, Trump Tells Iranian Protesters by Dpaulie(op): 10:59am On Jan 12, 2020 |
US President Donald Trump said Saturday the United States was monitoring Iranian demonstrations closely, warning against any new “massacre” as protests broke out after Tehran admitted to shooting down a passenger plane. Trump told Iranians in tweets in both English and Farsi that he stands by them and is monitoring the demonstrations. “To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I’ve stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you,” he tweeted. “There can not be another massacre of peaceful protesters, nor an internet shutdown. The world is watching,” he added, apparently referring to an Iranian crackdown on street protests that broke out in November. “We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage,” he said. Iran had said earlier it unintentionally downed a Ukrainian jetliner outside Tehran, killing all 176 people aboard, in an abrupt about-turn after initially denying Western claims it was struck by a missile. The firing came shortly after Iran launched missiles at bases in Iraq housing American forces. President Hassan Rouhani said a military probe into the tragedy had found “missiles fired due to human error” brought down the Boeing 737, calling it an “unforgivable mistake.” The new demonstrations follow an Iranian crackdown on street protests that broke out in November. Amnesty International has said it left more than 300 people dead. Internet access was reportedly cut off in multiple Iranian provinces ahead of memorials planned a month after the protests. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has demanded that Iran provide “full clarity” on the downing of the plane. Ottawa says the dead included 57 Canadians. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also offered his condolences and ordered the armed forces to address “shortcomings” so that such a disaster does not happen again. Tehran’s acknowledgement came after officials in Iran denied for days Western claims that the Ukraine International Airlines plane had been struck by a missile in a catastrophic error. The Kiev-bound jet slammed into a field shortly after taking off from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport on Wednesday. The crash came hours after Tehran launched missiles at bases hosting American forces in Iraq in response to the killing of top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike. Fears grew of an all-out war between Iran and its arch-enemy the United States, but those concerns have subsided after Trump said Tehran appeared to be standing down after targeting the US bases.

| Christianity Etc › Salvator Mundi (leonardo) :the Most Expensive Painting In The World by Dpaulie(op): 8:12am On Jan 12, 2020 |
Salvator Mundi is a painting by Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci dated to c. 1500. Long thought to be a copy of a lost original veiled with overpainting , it was rediscovered, restored, and included in a major Leonardo exhibition at the National Gallery , London, in 2011–12. Although several leading scholars have considered it to be an original work by Leonardo, this attribution has been disputed by other specialists, some of whom posit that he only contributed certain elements. The painting depicts Jesus in Renaissance dress, making the sign of the cross with his right hand, while holding a transparent, non-refracting crystal orb in his left, signaling his role as Salvator Mundi (Latin for 'Savior of the World') and representing the ' celestial sphere ' of the heavens. Around 20 other variations of the work are known, by students and followers of Leonardo. Preparatory chalk and ink drawings of the drapery by Leonardo are held in the British Royal Collection . It is one of fewer than 20 known works by Leonardo , and was the only one to remain in a private collection. It was sold at auction for $450.3 million on 15 November 2017 by Christie's in New York to Prince Badr bin Abdullah , setting a new record for most expensive painting ever sold at public auction. Prince Badr allegedly made the purchase on behalf of Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism , but it has since been posited that he may have been a stand-in bidder for his close ally and Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. This follows late-2017 reports that the painting would be put on display at the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the unexplained cancellation of its scheduled September 2018 unveiling. The current location of the painting has been reported as unknown, but a June 2019 report stated that it was being stored on bin Salman's luxury yacht , pending completion of a cultural center in Al-`Ula and an October 2019 report indicated it may be in storage in Switzerland.
