She wrongly accused Emmanuel of defiling his 3-year-old sister at their home on Akinberu Road, Okokomaiko.

PUNCH reports that Chinyere, without investigation, allegedly flogged him for hours, as his plea of innocence fell on deaf ears. A resident was said to have rescued him and reported the matter to the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender.

An official of the agency said, “The boy’s mother, Joy, and Chinyere live in the same single-room apartment. Joy, who is 27 years old, had Emmanuel and the 3 year-old for different men.

Following the outrage that has greeted the unveiling of a statue for South Africa’s President, Jacob Zuma in Imo State, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of not building the image of the state, as well as looting public treasury.
https://plus1gist.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Okorocha-Zuma.jpg

The accusation comes days after he unveiled a huge statue in hounour of South African President, Jacob Zuma.

The decision has been widely criticised as endorsing the governance style of a president who is facing corruption charges in his country.

More so, the honour was done Mr. Zuma few days after another Nigerian, Jelili Omoyele, a 35-year-old, was killed in South Africa.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Tuesday, October 17, said the PDP never attracted any meaningful personality to the state.

“If it was in the days of PDP, Schools and Markets would have been shut down. And roads closed because President Zuma was coming. But none of such things was done because Rochas and his government have human face. The PDP for the 12 years they held sway never attracted any meaningful visitor to the State except PDP NEC members who were coming to loot the State,” the statement read.

The Nigerian Army says those who are following the leader of the now-outlawed IPOB group, Nnamdi Kanu, have entered one chance.

He said this while reacting to allegations that the IPOB leader was in the custody of the military.
“There was an allegation that somebody went into hiding. Now, I can’t remember the day but in an interview on Channels TV, one of Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brothers said that he was in hiding and he knew where he was. And one lawyer came up that he has taken the Chief of Army Staff to court. Now, who gave you the brief? You said you do not know where he (Kanu) is. Now, who gave you the brief?

Following his refusal to honour repeated appearance invitations over a petition submitted against him by the wife of former president Goodluck Jonathan, Patience Jonathan, the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions Tuesday issued an arrest warrant against the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.
https://plus1gist.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Magu_EFCC.jpg
The committee said that Magu should be arrested and presented before it on November 7.

Mrs Jonathan who had some of her accounts frozen by some banks on the directive of the EFCC as part of a corruption investigation, had petitioned the House over the matter as the freeze lingered even after a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos ordered that all her bank accounts be unfrozen.

The former first lady had sent a petition to the House against the EFCC, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), among others, alleging harassment from them.

At the continuation of its sitting on the petition, the committee, which had given Magu up to October 4 to appear before it, lamented that the EFCC chairman was showed utter disregard concerning the matter.

The panel, chaired by Hon Uzoma Nkem-Abonta , said it had sent several letters inviting the EFCC chairman to appear before it in order to provide clarification on the directive the commission gave some banks to freeze Mrs Jonathan’s accounts but to no avail.

Hon Kingsley Chinda who is one of the members of the committee, consequently moved that a bench warrant be issued against Magu to appear before the panel on the next adjourned date.

Last Sunday, October 1, new pay TV service TStv Africa was officially launched in Abuja, hence generating excitements from most Nigerians who are fed up of DSTV.
https://plus1gist.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/TSTV-Decoder-Price-And-Full-Channel-List-600x549.jpg

Many have been calling for a rival company company that would challenge DSTV and here comes TStv africa.

The Federal Government on its part says it would grant the company a three-year tax holiday to ease its operation.

Since the unveiling of the company wholly owned by Nigerians, there have been lots of speculations going on how TSTV services would be delivered and particularly many people out there don’t really understand the nature of services that TSTV promises which explain the wrong information being spread across.

Below are the 7 things you should know about TSTV before making purchases;

1.) The N5000 for TSTV initial purchase includes a decoder, a dish and a remote control but excludes any installation service charge.

2.) TSTV Pay AS You Go pause service i.e. the ability to pause your subscription when not in use would be available to those that would go for the maximum subscription which is the monthly N3,000 package and you would only be able to pause subscription not more than 7 days, thereby allowing you 37 days at most for your monthly subscription. So don’t expect to use your 1 month subscription from January to December in the name of pausing or expect to user 1 day N200 subscription for 1 month.

3.) The first time you buy the decoder is the only time you would be able to enjoy up to 20GB of data as bonus, for subsequent full monthly subscription comes with 10GB of data and not 20GB as some of you might be thinking.

The suspect, 49-year-old Ismaila Adeyemi, said he got a mobile phone from the valuables carted away from the victim’s residence.

He said his brother, Usman Adeyemi, who had also been arrested, helped him to sell the phone for N7,000, adding that he gave Usman N2,000 from the sum.

Nigerian who took part in a survey by Plusgist Nigeria have contended that there is no need for President Muhammadu Buhari to relieve the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, of her duties as a minister, over her comment that she would support former vice president Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 presidential election over Buhari should he decide to run.
https://plus1gist.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Aisha-Alhassan-e1504767359286.jpg

Alhassan, a former governorship candidate in Taraba State had, in a video that went viral recently, much to the shock of many, openly declared support for Atiku’s aspirations.
Following the video’s emergence and backlash from some who called for her sack, Alhassan defended her position in an interview.

Speaking with BBC Hausa, she called Atiku her godfather, saying she did not mind losing her job for supporting him.

Her party, the APC and governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El’Rufai had contended that she spoke out of line, even as the governor revealed that Buhari appointed her against the advice of some chieftains of the party.

Also, soon after the comment, the office of the Auditor-General indicted the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development under her of alleged fraud of N11, 700,000 and ordered that the money be refunded to the federation account.

In a statement by his Media Adviser, Mr. Ikechukwu Eze, yesterday, the former president dismissed the claims as lies, adding that he (Jonathan) did not need Okorocha to garner votes in the South East, which he described as his political stronghold.
https://plus1gist.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Jonathan-ok-e1472072073995.jpg

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has refuted reported claims by Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, that the ex-president offered him huge sums of money and other inducements ahead of the 2015 presidential election.
Jonathan insisted that he never had any conversation with Okorocha ahead of the 2015 elections. The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Governor Okorocha, and published by a national newspaper on September 27, 2017, where he was quoted to have said that former President Jonathan offered him an influential ministry and huge sums of money to dump his party ahead of the 2015 elections, which he rejected. We offer to quickly dismiss these claims as lies, because we are clear in our minds that such conversation never happened. “We are wondering whether this truly came from the governor because we are sure that even Okorocha himself did not believe that anybody would accept these claims. In the first place, it sounded irrational and absurd. Besides, it was obvious to all and sundry that the South East, being Dr. Jonathan’s political stronghold, the ex-President did not need Okorocha to win in the zone. “However, to set the records straight, we make bold to say that former President Jonathan never made any contact with Okorocha, ahead of the 2015 elections. read morehttp://plus1gist.com.ng/2017/09/28/jonathan-refutes-okorochas-inducements-claim/#more

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has described as “unfortunate” the fact that the U.S. does not see the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, as a terrorist organisation.
https://plus1gist.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Lai-Mohammed1.jpg

The minister disclosed this during an interview on BBC Focus Africa on Wednesday, September 27.

According to Mr. Mohammed, the act and utterances of IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu, were acts of terrorists.

“The acts and utterances of IPOB were acts and utterances of terrorists. For instance Nnamdi Kanu was caught on tape saying that they want Biafra and not peacefully but by force and that if they don’t get Biafra, Somalia will be a paradise with the kind of mayhem,’’ he said.

Responding to a question on how a man without a weapon can be proclaimed a terrorist, the minister said: ‘’This is also the same man who opens a safe for arms and the same man who set up his own Biafra national gathering, his own Biafra secret service and the same man who actually attacked army formations’’. read morehttp://plus1gist.com.ng/2017/09/28/biafra-unfortunate-us-doesnt-consider-ipob-terrorist-organisation-lai-mohammed/#more
