As the battle for the final clear out of Boko Haram remnants continues in the North East, the local security volunteer group, known as Civilian JTF, in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State, yesterday, claimed it had arrested a notorious Boko Haram kingpin, named Bashir.

The Civilian JTF noted that the Boko Haram kingpin, popularly called Bashir Sarkin Yanka, which in Hausa means “Bashir the King of Slaughter” had been the terrorist acting as Abubakar Shekau in some videos on the social media.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian military, yesterday, said it was yet to confirm the speculation over the arrest of the Boko Haram kingpin.

A statement signed by Air Commodore Dele Alonge from the Information Office of Operation Lafiya Dole also disclosed that two suspected Boko haram members, who infiltrated an IDPs camp, have been arrested.

The statement read:  “The Nigerian military has arrested two suspects, Audu Umar and Hassan Umar, for smuggling themselves among the Internally Displaced People (IDPs) brought from Pulka to Gwoza IDPs camp in Borno State.

“The male suspects, who gave their names as Audu Umar and Hassan Umar are undergoing interrogation by the military and intelligence operatives.

“Meanwhile, the Nigerian military is yet to confirm the speculation over an arrest of Boko Haram kingpin, popularly known as Bashir Sarkin Yanka, which in Hausa means “Bashir the King of Slaughter.”

The spokesperson of Operation Lafiya Dole in the North-East, Air Commodore Dele Alonge, said the military cannot confirm the arrest of Shekau’s actor even as the military has sustained its counter-insurgency operations where some terrorists have been eliminated and others apprehended in the North-East.

The arrested suspect was reported to have confessed to the Civilian JTF that he had acted as Boko Haram Leader, “Shekau” in some videos and was responsible for the death of his (Bashir’s) mother, two sisters and brother, apart from engaging in mass slaughtering.

Now I understand why PMB said the Judiciary is his greatest headache

Nice one

Its obvious,cos for the past 3days our light hasn't gone off,even thou we are on 33kva line which makes the power supply in my area stable,but we have never had uninterupted power supply for three straight days before..Thumbs up to the FG and the Power stakeholders..
Its still a pity that we are celebrating a meagre 5000mw power supply as a Nation,but we will get there.I believe Fashola and this present Govt will really bring smiles to the faces of Nigerians with steady Power supply before the end of this Govt's tenure.

Thanks for the response, he's not yet using atropine, he's at the moment using ofloxacin which is not working effectively. Where can a surgery be performed in Nigeria? Thanks

I can't disclose such online,you can inbox me. Thanks

He refused to tell how He got 400million naira from Dasuki and the work he did for former President Jonathan..was expecting him to say something about that.
Enjoy your temporary freedom.Your trial has already started with hundred of witnesses queueing up to testify against you

iyimiolami:
Please, my fiance has been on glasses for a while now owing to the fact that he has myopia and he was encouraged that it will control it and alongside, he was given ofloxacin eye drop which i know its antibacterial, what can he do to control it and the right eye drop to use because i realized that the use of atropine can be dangerous. Thanks.

Good day! Since your fiance was diagnosed of having myopia,the best treatment options are Spectacle lenses or Contact lens. Surgery is also an option.
Please I will like to know how your fiance came about using atropine,and why it was prescribed..cos the drug is not a drug to be used without doctor's prescription and monitoring.. Atropine narrows or close the anterior chamber angle,blocking aqueous outflow which can lead to Angle Closure Glaucoma,which in turn leads to blindness. Hence,extreme care must be taken when using Atropine expecially on Patients with narrow angle. I will like to know why he is using Atropine.

The economy will definitely bounce back..massive looting under previous govt really compounded our woes..God bless PMB

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, January 28, 2016 arraigned the duo of Aku Ben Aku and Philips James Aliku alongside their company, Al-Aminu Oil and Gas Limited, before Justice Sulaiman Aliyu Tukur  of the High Court of Kaduna State, Kaduna on a five -count charge bordering on conspiracy, forgery and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N14, 602, 600.00 (Fourteen Million, Six Hundred and Two Thousand, Six Hundred Naira).

The offence is contrary to Section 8(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable Under Section 1(3) of the same Act.

The first accused person, Aku, while being in the employ of the Petroleum Equalisation Fund Board, allegedly registered a private company, Al-Aminu Oil and Gas, where he is a director.

Aku, allegedly conspired with the second accused person, Aliku, who is also a director of the company, and obtained the sum of N14, 602, 600.00 (Fourteen Million, Six Hundred and Two Thousand, Six Hundred Naira) from the Federal Government on the pretence that the money was for the loading and selling of petroleum products by the filling station purportedly located on Madikiya Road, Kafancha, Kaduna State.

Count one of the charge reads:

‘‘That you Aku Ben ‘M’,   Philips James Aliku ‘M’, whilst being Directors of Al-Aminu Oil and Gas Limited on about the 11th day of February, 2014 in Kaduna within the jurisdiction of the High Court of Kaduna State did, with intent to defraud, conspired to obtain the sum of N14, 602, 600.00( Fourteen Million, Six Hundred and Two Thousand and Six Hundred Naira) from the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Petroleum Equalisation Fund( Management) Board under the pretence that the said sum represented the loading and selling of petroleum products in the non-existent filling station, claimed to be located along Madikiya Road, Kafancha, Kaduna State.

The said sum paid through Zenith Bank Plc. account No. 1013733208, which representation you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 8(a) of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.’’

Another count reads:

‘‘That you Aku Ben Aku ‘M’, Phillips James Aliku ‘M’, whilst being Directors of Aminu Oil and Gas Limited, on or about the 11th day of February, 2014 in Kaduna within the jurisdiction of the High Court of Kaduna State did, with intent to defraud and in order to facilitate obtaining the sum of 14, 602, 600.00 (Fourteen Million, Six Hundred and Two Thousand and Six Hundred Naira)) by false pretence from the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Petroleum Equalisation Fund ( Management) Board knowingly and fraudulently used as genuine a forged document titled ‘‘The Department of Petroleum Resources’’ Receipt No. DPR/ No.0452666, dated 15th October, 2014 made in favour of Al-Aminu Oil and Gas Limited by  presenting the document to the Petroleum Equalisation Fund( Management) Board, purporting the document to have been issued by Department of Petroleum Resources( DPR) and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 364 of the Penal Code Cap 532 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria( Abuja)1990".

The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were  read to them.

In view of their pleas, the prosecution counsel, Steve Odiase , asked the court for a trial date.
In response, the  defence counsel, F. C. Ikpe, told the court that there was a pending application for bail and prayed the court to grant  the accused bail on liberal terms. The prosecution counsel did not oppose the bail application.

After listening to both counsel, Justice Tukur granted the accused persons bail in the sum of N1million (One Million Naira) each, with one surety each in like sum. The accused persons must deposit their international passports with the court registrar.

Each of the sureties must be a civil servant not below Grade Level 14 or a principal officer in a company.

The accused  persons are to be remanded in Kaduna Prison pending the fulfillment of their bail conditions.
The case has been adjourned  to March 11, 2016 for trial.

You can get all you need to know about Glaucoma from the link.Thanks,wishing you a prosperous year and good health.

Greycious:
Dr, please respond to my previous post on this same page.
thanks

Sorry for the delay,I have done that

Greycious:
Hello Doc, I don't have any medical issues but my eyes are most times red. it becomes very reddish when I'm stressed or couldn't get enof sleep or hungry
it doesn't come with any sort of pain or itching, just reddish.
pls what can I do to make ppl believe I don't smoke.

Happy new year..Sorry,I have been so busy. From your explanation,it showed that the redness often experienced may not be pathological( diseased condition).Stress,lack of Sleep are some of the major causes of conjuctival congestion( redness of the eyes),this is because there is usually extremem pressure on the walls of the blood vessels leading to vasodilatation which brings about increase blood flow to the conjuctival vessels thereby causing vessels congestion which manifest as red eyes. I will advice you always make out time to rest when needed and avoid murdering sleep during the night.you can also create time to visit an Eye Clinic for a comprehensive Eye Check just to know the status of your Eye health.Thanks

Can't wait 2 see all those who looted our common wealth and sacrificed d lives of our gallant soldiers 4 their own personal gains 2 languish in jail

Where is shekau?

Publishing name of looters is not as important as recovering every single looted funds and throwing these yam eaters behind bars. Lalasticlala Fp

Nawa o!!With the way Osun is going down,I pray Aregberascal doesn't ask 4 d merger of Osun State with other states or put OSun state on OLX..A state whose monthly allocation can't even offset power bills owed for running the State secretariat is really in a financial mess.I pray Osun state get out of this mess in no distant time.

Am not surprise..there is no more yams in the barn for them to feast on.

Jonah looting recovered looted funds,how on earth did we get into this mess called Jonathanmi think this man committed more atrocities than BH.

Our greatest enemy towards development and industrialization is corruption.If found guilty he should be jailed and made 2 cough out every single penny he looted 4rm our common patrimony

May God bless NA and NAF..2 all my friends and family members in the war front,Victory over bh is all I pray for,may u all come back home safely,these are the true heros.All those who sacrifced our soldiers lives for their political ambitions by embezzling money meant for arms will all be thrown behind barsand never know peace,they aren't different from BH who have been maiming,killing, destroying homes and bereaving people of joy and hapiness

The Change is really here!! Recovered funds included..where are the wailers who said the President has been lieing about funds being recovered and secretly returned?Over 300billion stolen money, which is just an icing on the cake..I believe trillions of naira was really embezzled during GEJ's govt. This guys really finished our yams in d barn.

HEFAIROHLUWA:
