A middle-aged man Nicodemus Nomyange who set himself and his girlfriend Shininenge Pam on fire in Benue did so over the latter’s refusal to marry him, according to fresh facts gathered by IGBERE TV.

Nomyange had on Saturday evening visited his girlfriend’s house on Inikpi Street, in the High-Level area of Makurdi, with a gallon of fuel, which he used to set the apartment on fire.

The two lovers died in the inferno.

Igbere TV gathered that the man rented the apartment for the woman and furnished it.

Benue police spokesperson Catherine Anene said witnesses told the police that they saw the man with fuel and they assumed that he wanted to use it for the generator.

“We heard that the man and the lady had been having misunderstanding before the sad incident,” she said, adding investigation was still ongoing.

The Kaduna State Government has disclosed that troops carrying out internal security operations rescued nine persons kidnapped along the Kaduna-Abuja Road on Sunday afternoon, Igbere TV reports.

The Kaduna State Government made known in a statement, that it received operational feedback from the Defence Headquarters’s Operation Thunder Strike (OPTS) following Sunday’s incident, and inquiries from citizens on the development.

The feedback goes thus:

Troops of the Operation Thunder Strike on a routine patrol along Akilubu-Gidan Busa axis on the Kaduna-Abuja road, received a distress call at around 4PM, of bandits blocking the main highway.

The armed bandits opened fire on a bus, forcing the driver to halt.

On getting to the location, the armed bandits had already kidnapped nine persons from an 18-seater bus with registration No. Kaduna: MKA-151.

The troops immediately mobilized and engaged the bandits in a firefight and in the process rescued nine persons kidnapped who later rejoined their colleagues after their rescue and a head count. (Pictures attached).

Regrettably, the driver and a passenger seated close to him lost their lives.

The Kaduna State Government sends its condolences to their families and prays for God to grant them eternal rest.

Following this summary from the military, the government assures citizens and commuters plying the route that any emerging developments regarding the unfortunate incident will be communicated.

The government also assures citizens of Kaduna State that it will continue to work hard, in collaboration with the Federal Government to improve the security of the highway. It is also working with the Governments of Zamfara, Katsina, Niger, Nasarawa, Plateau, Sokoto and Kano States, as well as the Military, Police, DSS and relevant stakeholders on enhancing the security situation in the region.

“We want to express our sympathy for the inconvenience that eight of our customers are going through due to the restrictions on their accounts as mandated by a federal court order. We are eager for this to be resolved as soon as possible,” the statement read.

“It is common knowledge that we and the entire banking industry are regulated entities and therefore operate under the authority of our regulators and law enforcement agencies. As such we are compelled to comply with regulatory directives.

“While acknowledging the concern of all well-meaning parties, we urge that enquiries and views be channeled to the relevant regulatory and judicial agencies where the matter is receiving attention.

“It is therefore surprising that some individuals still choose to target Access Bank in a negative manner despite not being the source of the action.”

“The governor has listened to voices of the majority of the citizens opposing the pension law for former governors and deputy governors.

“As representatives of the people, the lawmakers would exercise their discretion to call a public hearing on the topic to further harvest wider opinions on the topic,” the statement read.

“However, the governor feels it is time for the law as it is to give way. He would rather the state commits the scarce public funds to tackling the question of poverty and youth unemployment,” Ajakaye added.

She prayed thus: “The hands of Donald J Trump have begun the work in this nation. Father, the hands will complete it as you showed to me and many prophets in this nation.

“Father, you will enthrone the rightful president in this nation that will support the church and that would support Israel.”

He wrote; "Obinna see what you did to yourself I personal told you that this is india we came here to find money not to find love. if is true that this girl is the one that killed you that means you are a fool you did not do like real Uli son from Ihiala L. G. A. Shame to you wherever you are I will stop here.''

“We have been denied quality education, good healthcare, quality roads, access to electricity, and much more,” the cleric who was once a running mate to President Muhammadu Buhari said.

“The brutal impunity of the gun-wielding policeman or SARS operative is the symbol of this bad governance experience.

“SARS is also the symbol of that politician who loots public funds to build a political war chest and spends it during elections buying votes, hiring thugs, intimidating voters and robbing the people of the power of choice.

“SARS is the emblem on the agbada of the legislator who robs the people through budget padding, outrageous allowances, and unaccounted-for constituency projects.”

“SARS is the symbol of the corrupt judge who compels Lady Justice to remove her blindfold to check whether the person in the dock is a poor phone thief or a wealthy pension thief so as to sell justice to the highest bidder.”

Bakare urged the Buhari administration to fish out those who shot at protesters at Lekki toll gate, Lagos on Tuesday.

“Above all, I strongly recommend that President Muhammadu Buhari should ensure that those who ordered armed soldiers to fire on innocent citizens are fished out and made to face the full weight of the law.

“The officers who carried out such wicked acts should also be prosecuted under international legal standards,” he wrote.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s social media aide Lauretta Onochie says Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki will visit the president to thank him for the peaceful conduct of Edo governorship election, Igbere TV reports.

Mr Obaseki was re-elected on September 19 on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after being kicked out of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by a former APC national chairman Adams Oshiomhole.

“HE @GovernorObaseki will pay a Thank You visit to @MBuhari for the enabling democratic environment he provided for the people of Edo state to make an independent choice,” Mrs Onochie tweeted Friday.

“The election has been adjudged as free, fair and credible. Its conduct has drawn applause from beyond Nigeria.”

Igbere TV reports that she did not give further details on the time of the visit.

Obaseki had visited Buhari for intervention in the heat of his crisis with Oshiomhole. But the president restated his resolve not to interfere in party matters.

Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and three other governorship hopefuls on Thursday participated in a virtual debate organised by BBC News Yoruba and its partners ahead of the state governorship election slated for October 10, Igbere TV reports.

Other candidates present were that of the Peoples Democratic Party Eyitayo Jegede; Dotun Ojon of the Young Progressive Party and Adekunle Adeleye of the African Action Congress.

Igbere TV reports that Candidate of the Zenith Labour Party Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi was absent at the over two-hour debate.

The candidates spoke on matters bordering on security, education, health and economy.

The YPP candidate criticised the Ondo State Security Network Agency codenamed Operation Amotekun and the law that created it. He argued that “those who started it don’t really understand it.”

He also said if elected he would create an arm within Amotekun corps to address kidnapping.

Akeredolu countered, saying the YPP candidate was ignorant of the law that created the Amotekun Corps.

If elected, Jegede on his part vowed to build police stations and army barracks in the localities notorious for crime in the state.

He also pledged to reduce the tuition paid by students of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko.

In response, Akeredolu said his government had already reduced the tuition, noting that students of the varsity pay the same tuition as their counterparts at the Lagos State University.
