An audit report carried out by the Hospital Management revealed that, the sum of N3,331,167 (three million, three hundred and thirty one thousand, one hundred and sixty seven naira) was collected as revenue by the accused. But, the duo declared and paid the sum of N150,314 (one hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred and fourteen naira) to the hospital coffers while pocketing the sum of N3,180,853 (three million, one hundred and eighty thousand, eight hundred and fifty three naira).

One of the charges reads:
“That you, Umar Yusuf And Ibrahim Ahmad Bebeji between January to September, 2013 in Kano within the judicial division of the High Court of Justice, Kano State, while being clerks of the National Orthopedic Hospital, Dala, Kano, committed theft of the sum of N3,180,853.00 (three million, one hundred and eighty thousand, eight hundred and fifty three naira only) which was received as part of the revenue accruable to the Hospital and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 286 and punishable under Section 289 of Penal Code.”

The accused persons pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to them.

Counsel to the EFCC, Musa Isa, asked the court for a date for hearing sequel to the plea of the accused persons.

However, the defence counsel urged the court to admit the accused persons to bail.

Justice Aboki granted the accused bail with two sureties of not below Grade Level 12. The sureties must sign a bond of one million naira each. The accused are to be remanded in prison custody until their bail conditions are met.

The Chairman, retired Air Commodore Ahmed Tijjani-Baba, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Bauchi on Friday.

Tijjani-Baba explained that the vehicles were among 100 listed by the committee for recovery from highly placed individuals, politicians, former commissioners, special advisers and top civil servants.

He said that the vehicles were allocated to the beneficiaries by the last administration on May 28, 2015, a day to the swearing-in of the present administration.

Tijjani-Baba said that the committee discovered that the vehicles were purchased by the former administration between January and May and auctioned to the beneficiaries without due process.

Nigeria frees dozens from Boko Haram captivity

Soldiers rescue 71 girls and women following firefights that killed several armed fighters outside of Maiduguri.

Nigeria's military has rescued 71 girls and women in firefights that killed several Boko Haram fighters in the country's northeast, as the government steps up effort to drive out the armed group.

Army spokesman Colonel IT Gusau said on Thursday that 12 people were rescued on Wednesday and 59 on Thursday from villages about 40km from Maiduguri, the biggest city in the northeast.

"During the operation a number of terrorists were killed," said Gusau adding that a total of 29 women, 25 children, and five elderly men were part of those freed.

Some of the captives said they were in the clutches of the group for as long as a year.

One young woman, Yagana Kyari, told the Associated Press news agency that she was just "waiting for death" because the group had constantly threatened to kill their victims.

Hundreds of captives were freed in March when Nigeria's military declared it had seized back all towns held by Boko Haram.

But the group continued to launch suicide bombings and attacks from remote villages.

Earlier this week, the army said it had freed 30 other hostages, including 21 children.

Boko Haram has abducted thousands of civilians, including children, in raids on villages and towns inside Nigeria and abroad.

The movement has also forced young teenage girls and women to become suicide bombers.

In just over a week, suicide bombers have killed at least 47 people in attacks at crowded places, including a market and a popular bar, in towns in both Nigeria and neighbouring Cameroon.

Multinational task force

News of the rescue operation come as Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari's new government appointed a general to lead a new multinational task force to fight Boko Haram.

Major-General Iliya Abbah, who previously commanded military operations in the oil-rich Niger Delta, will head the five-nation force, Nigerian military spokesman Major-General Chris Olukolade said.

The Multi-National Joint Task Force, made up of 8,700 troops from Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Niger, and Benin, is expected to be more effective than a current alliance in the battle to end Boko Haram's six-year insurgency, which has claimed some 15,000 lives.

The announcement came as Buhari was visiting Cameroon in a bid to forge a stronger regional alliance against the armed group.

In a joint statement after their talks in the Cameroonian capital, Yaounde, Buhari and Cameroon's President Paul Biya expressed "their common determination to eradicate Boko Haram ... and agreed to intensify the exchange of information between the two countries".

Asked when the new regional force would go into action, Buhari said: "It should be ready today or tomorrow, by the end of this month."

But he added: "After the promises of G7 countries to help the region defeat Boko Haram, we are waiting for training, equipment, and intelligence assistance."

Buhari visited Washington last week but returned empty-handed because the United States is prohibited by law from sending weapons to countries that fail to tackle human rights abuses, a stance the Nigerian leader said was helping Boko Haram.

Boko Haram has stepped up its attacks since Buhari took office in May, unleashing a wave of violence that has claimed more than 800 lives in just two months.

In another gruesome attack reported on Thursday, Boko Haram fighters slit the throats of 10 fishermen in villages on the shores of Lake Chad in northeastern Nigeria on Monday, a fisherman and a resident told AFP news agency.

good to know that but i like to use warm water to bath during this cold weather

Open with hot and close with cold

Hot or Cold Bath? The Benefits of Both Kinds of Showers

1. Pores enlarge
To clean the face of dirt and oil, warm bath can indeed help. But if you do not close the activities of a warm bath with cold water, then your pores will open and getting wider, leading to easy formation of acne.

2. Lowered sperm quality
Bath or shower with warm water is not good for the testes. Based on research in 2007, soak for 30 minutes in warm or hot tub water can reduce sperm production. But this negative effect is reversible (can change). Exposure warm or hot water can negatively affect sperm because it makes the sperm takes a long time to mature. The best known of sperm development in cold environments, this is why the testes are located outside the human body, namely in the scrotum.

3. Fetal harm
Warm water bath is actually not a problem for mothers who are pregnant, but keep in mind is the temperature. When the water temperature is too high then the activity could harm the baby shower. High temperatures, especially in the early days of pregnancy can cause birth defects in offspring born. Self-harm is not the impact we earn. But basically the occasional hot shower is not anything to be done. Because warm water bath is also beneficial for muscle relaxation, thoughts and insomnia.
