Leah Sharibu, the girl held in captivity by members of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has “remarried” another terrorists’ commander, after purportedly securing a divorce from the first ‘husband’ she was forcefully given to, local security sources told the Daily Trust yesterday.

Leah was abducted alongside her over 100 schoolmates from Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State on February 19, 2018.

Few years ago, it was reported by some media houses that the Dapchi girl was married off.

Our correspondent gathered that Leah, after the purported divorce from one Abdulrahman, was remarried to another ISWAP commander in the Lake Chad area named Ali Abdallah.

One of the security sources said, “Leah was first married to Abdulrahman after she allegedly converted to Islam and they have two children, all boys that were named after two Boko Haram commanders that were killed.

“We don’t know what transpired but Leah secured the divorce and married another commander, Ali Abdallah.”

The source said after her abduction, Leah was “trained” on how to administer some medical services to injured Boko Haram fighters and women.

Our correspondent reports that one of the antics of terrorists in the North East is forcing their captives with expertise in some areas like medicine, nursing, engineering, computer, among others to train their members on such areas.

“She was ‘trained’ as a medical personnel and now leads the ISWAP medical team in the northern part of the Lake Chad area,” the source said.

Another source said, “Ten days ago, Leah, her supposed husband and other fighters were sighted at Dogon Chukwun kangarwa.

“Her husband is a commander under ISWAP but they are facing persecution from a Boko Haram commander loyal to Shekau, Malam Bakura.

“As of today, we got a report that a large contingent of the ISWAP fighters has started migrating from the area through Guzamala forest.

“They were sighted on the route of Cross – Mosquito camp- Garin-giwa (where the Zulum’s convoy was attacked) – Munguno – Gajiram with cache of dangerous arms,” he said.

The United Kingdom (UK) has updated its travel requirements for people wishing to enter the country.

UK on Monday, September 4 announced that Nigerians and other citizens, except British and Irish nationals, wishing to enter the country must apply for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). The new rule becomes effective from November 15, 2023, and applies to everyone, including children.

The new travel rule means that all visa applicants wishing to travel to the UK need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) card before they enter or transit through the country,

The UK home office said persons who need the travel permit are those who were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK.

Also listed for ETA are those on visits shorter than six months, business people, tourism, and those visiting family and friends. Applicants are required to apply online before booking any travel to the UK. Once granted, it will be valid for multiple journeys over two years or until the passport one is applying with expires.

According to the UK Home Office, travellers with valid visas may not be allowed to board without a valid ETA, as the ETA is digitally linked to travellers’ passports.

A statement from the UK office reads: “The UK travel requirements are changing. Except for British and Irish citizens, everyone, including children who enter or transit through the UK, will soon require permission before they travel.

"This means that if you were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK, you will need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), your stay must be shorter than six months and could include tourism or visiting family and friends, transit, business, and short term study.

“You do not need to show a paper copy, but it may be helpful to prove the confirmation email for your own records while an ETA grants you permission to travel to the UK, it does not grant you entry. So, you would still need to go through passport control at the border to enter the UK.

“Make sure you show the same passport you used to apply for your ETA and that your passport is valid for the whole of your stay."

President Bola Tinubu has reiterated that he won't let the country fail.

The President who said this while receiving members of Tinubu Support Organisation (TSO) who paid him a solidarity visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, disclosed that he is carrying out a permanent transformation of the nation’s economy to an enduring prosperity.

Tinubu also promised to run an all-inclusive government where everyone would be given the opportunity to serve, especially those that worked for him.

He said;

“I have at this point assembled ministers to work toward achieving my goal of a progressive Nigeria.

“I am sure that they are capable of delivering on their primary assignment of rebuilding the Nigerian economy because I will remove anyone who fails, because I want results. I will always reward loyalty, excellence and hard work.”

WHO WAS MURAINA?

Before retiring voluntarily after 35 years as a major general, Muraina held various roles in the army.

Part of his achievements included decorations with forces service (FSS), meritorious service star (MSS), distinguished service star (DSS), and grand service star (GSS). He was also honoured with the general service medal of honour, command medal of honour, and field command medal of honour, among others.

The former army officer was a one-time president of the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM) and a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria.

He was also a member of the Institute of Directors Nigeria and an alumnus of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS).

Muraina served as head of the Gambian National Army, finance and records, and until his retirement in September 2014, he was the chief of accounts and budget in the Nigerian Army.

On September 2, 2022, the ex-military officer was reported dead after slipping into a coma in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Royal Thai Police have arrested a 45-year-old Nigerian man and 13 Thais for operating a covert romance scam.

The Nigerian national identified as Ezeneche Uzochukwu Jerome, his Thai girlfriend, and other suspects were arrested on Thursday, August 24, 2023, following police operations across seven provinces

According to the police, the scam operation managed to deceive hundreds of victims across Thailand out of over 8000 million baht in the past four years.

The Commissioner of the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) Montri Tatekhan, in a statement on Friday, August 25, explained that the victims filed a complaint against a romance scam gang at the beginning of 2022.

The victims revealed to officers that the scammers used profiles of attractive foreign women to approach them on social media.

The scammers informed them that they were American soldiers performing duties in Syria. After gaining the trust of the victims, they would express their desire to come to Thailand to see the victims.

However, before their journeys, they would inform the victim that they sent gifts or some parcels into Bangkok, via the airports.

Then, they would lure the victims into paying taxes or other relevant expenses for them in advance and they would return it when they meet each other.

A group of Thai scammers then contacted the victims pretending to be airport authorities and demanded money for the alleged parcel-receiving process.

After getting the amount they wanted, the scammer would disappear and block all the contact channels with the victims.

The police conducted a further investigation until they managed to identify the gang leader, 45-year-old Ezeneche Uzochukwu Jerome. Jerome had been previously charged with a love scam in 2018 but managed to re-engage in the illicit operation.

After an investigation into the gang’s financial transactions, the officer discovered that each scammer would immediately transfer money from the victim into an account aboard.

From 2018 to 2022, the gang managed to extort over 800 million baht from victims and deposit it into a foreign bank account.

Since the criminal action was backed and proven by several damning pieces of evidence, officers conducted raids on 14 suspicious spots across the country, including seven spots in Bangkok, one spot in Pathum Thani, two in Pitsanuloak, one in Uthai Thani, one in Uttaradit, one in Kamphaeng Phet, and one in Pichit.

During the operation, an officer arrested 14 suspects behind the scams, including the gang leader Jerome and 13 Thais.

Officers also seized 11 mobile phones, 10 bank accounts, 18 debit cards, two computers, two Channel bags, and several documents involved in the financial transactions to work abroad.

The Nigerian man's girlfriend claimed that they were no longer together.

According to her, after breaking up, the man invited her to join the gang. She could not refuse because of her financial struggles and unemployment.

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh took to her Instagram page this evening August 17, to slam the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA for inviting singer Naira Marley to their office.

The anti-drug agency had shared photos of Naira Marley posing with its Director General, Buba Marwa, and stated that the singer paid a visit to the agency to show his support for the War Against Drug Abuse.

‘Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) with music star, Naira Marley when the artiste paid a visit to the National Headquarters of the Agency in Abuja to declare support for the War Against Drug Abuse on Thursday 17th August 2023'' the agency captioned the photo

Tonto disapproved of this and took to her Instagram page to call the agency out. Expressing her displeasure, she wrote;

‘’I’ll unfollow now…

A lucky man is now $1.08 billion richer after winning Wednesday's third-highest jackpot ever in America's history.

The Powerball jackpot has an estimated cash value of $558.1 million.

The winning numbers were 7, 13, 10, 24 and 11. The Powerball was 24. The Power Play multiplier was 2X.

"This has turned into a historic jackpot run; this is only the third time in Powerball’s 31-year history that a jackpot has reached the billion-dollar threshold," Drew Svitko, Powerball Product Group Chair and Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director, said in a Powerball news release.

Three lucky players won a $2 million prize for matching five white balls plus the Power Play, and 36 took home the $1 million prize for matching 5 white balls.

Other Powerball jackpots won this year include a $754.6 million jackpot won in Washington on Jan. 5, a $162.6 million jackpot won in Virginia on March 4, and a $252.6 million jackpot won in Ohio on April 19.

Only two other previous Powerball jackpots have topped the current one in terms of size, the lottery said.

Powerball gave out its largest-ever grand prize in 2022 when the jackpot reached $2.04 billion. In 2016, someone won the second-largest jackpot at $1.586 billion, according to the lottery.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) says aspartame, one of the most common artificial sweeteners, is a possible carcinogen.

The announcement, made on Thursday, came after reports of an imminent declaration had begun circulating.

To arrive at the determination, the IARC, the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) cancer research arm, conducted an evaluation of the impact of aspartame — based on scientific data collected from a range of sources, including peer-reviewed papers, governmental reports and studies conducted for regulatory purposes.

In a separate assessment, the joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organisation’s expert committee on food additives (JECFA) said aspartame remains safe to consume at already-agreed levels of 40mg/kg of body weight.

Even though aspartame is largely associated with Diet Coke, there are many popular drinks that contain the sweetener.

WHAT IS ASPARTAME?

Aspartame is an odourless white powder discovered in 1965 by James Schlatter, a US chemist.

It is approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar which means only a very small amount is needed to sweeten foods and beverages. Because it is only required in small quantities, it is used as a substitute for sugar in soft drinks.

The ingredient is approved for use in Nigeria as a non-nutritive sweetener with an acceptable daily intake of 40mg/kg of body weight.

The low-calorie sugar substitute is also approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United Kingdom’s Food Standards Agency, and many other countries.

While aspartame has been used for decades, there have been several controversies around the ingredient. For instance, a 2017 review of studies found evidence that suggested those who regularly consume sweeteners, including aspartame, might be at greater risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

DRINKS THAT CONTAIN ASPARTAME

* Diet Coke
* Coca-Cola Zero Sugar
* Sprite Zero Sugar
* Fanta Orange – Zero Sugar
* Schweppes Ginger
* Schweppes Pineapple with Malt Extract
* Schweppes Bitter Lemon
* Red Bull Sugar-Free
* Pepsi Max
* Fanta Zero
* 7Up Zero Sugar
* 7Up free

Past rulings made by the IARC on other substances had raised concerns among consumers, leading to lawsuits, and forcing manufacturers to recreate recipes and shift to alternatives.

The WHO said it will continue to monitor new evidence and encourage independent research groups to develop further studies on the potential association between aspartame exposure and consumer health effects.
