The Adamawa State Police Command on Wednesday
confirmed the abduction of the Vice Chairman of Hong
Local Government, Bijida Yakubu, by gunmen suspected to
be members of the Boko Haram.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, Othman
Abubakar, who confirmed the incident, said three vigilante
members that were with Mr. Yakubu lost their lives in the
encounter.
Mr. Abubakar, who did not give details, however, said the
police officers investigating the incident have so far
recovered the vice chairman’s shoes.
A resident of Hong who simply identified himself as
Hussaini said that the incident occurred in Gayafa Village
of the area.
“You know, insurgents attacked the village last week. The
vice chairman who hailed from the village was on an
assessment visit with some hunters when the insurgents
attacked and over-powered them.
“About seven insurgents were killed in the encounter
before they over-powered the hunters and took away the
vice chairman,” he said.
Mr. Hussaini claimed that the abducted vice chairman was
later allowed by his captors to call his wife with his cell
phone before the device was switched off.
The Chairman of Adamawa branch of the Association of
Local Governments of Nigeria, Sahabo Gurin, also
confirmed the incident.
Adamawa is one of the three states most affected by the
Boko Haram insurgency.
The insurgency has caused the death of about 20,000
people in northern Nigeria with hundreds of thousands of
others displaced.
The Nigerian military recently began a major offensive
against the group, reclaiming some of the territory initially
seized by the insurgents.

I humbly wish to appeal to dragnet and co to decentralise their test locations. I almost lost my life while travelling down to write Nigerian Stock Exchange exam organised by dragnet.

I know I am speaking the minds of so many cos I have seen people share testimonies of how they survived one accident or the other after making that last min decision to go write their exams in lagos.

I Understand these tests are administered in those central location for security reason but that should not be at the detriment of we the job seekers. If a job specifies the location as nationwide, dragnet owes it to their client to bring this test down to every state.

Dragnet has not bothered to check why a candidate accepted a job test but wasnt seen on ground that day. Now I didn't write the test, test that is not even guaranteed that I would pass. But am now in pains with a huge hospital bill to attend to, on top my joblessness o.

Am still thanking God my life is intact but I hope dragnet and other recruitment agencies change their strategies. Everyone can't be in lagos.

Thanks to God for sparing ur life. U re destined for greatness

EUROBOMBER:
Take a look at what Benin-Ore road was before Jonathan took over power and see how Jonathan has transformed this death trap into a high way fit for pleasure driving.

Only those that have darkened their hearts to this man are busy shouting "Otuoke!" out of unnecessary bitterness and frustration.

Keeping GEJ in power is a task that must be accomplished.

Don't come here n b deceiving us. Nigerians r tired of d deceit of PDP led govt since 1999

The inability of Sagir Koli, the army Captain who leaked
the Ekiti-rigging audiotape, to come forward and
authenticate the tape, is the reason investigation into the
matter cannot proceed, President Goodluck Jonathan has
said.
Mr. Jonathan told Thisday newspaper that he inquired
from the head of the Department of State Security, DSS, if
the agency was investigating the matter, but was told that
investigation could not proceed because Mr. Koli, who went
underground after he was tipped off about the order from
the army hierarchy to arrest him, has not come forward to
validate the audio recording.
After Mr. Koli escaped, his 15-year-old brother, Ahmadu
Koli, a pupil of Army Children School, who was staying
with him, was arrested, tortured at a military facility in
Ibadan Oyo, and detained for about five months.
“In fact, when this story came up, I asked the DG
Department of State Security Service if they had
investigated the matter, and he told me that they had some
investigations, and then called for the person who claimed
he recorded it and that he disappeared and nobody can
reach him,” Mr. Jonathan said.
“There was no formal petition before them, but because of
the general interest, they wanted to have him interviewed
to know where this was coming from. If someone comes up
with a spurious allegation that has no substance and the
person disappears, of course, what do you want me to do?
Definitely, anytime we get him, he’ll have to substantiate
his allegations. There is a lot of false stories being
circulated and it is very sad,” he added.
The President did not explain why Mr. Koli needed to
validate the recording before investigations could be
launched into the scandal.
He also did not say whether security agencies must always
wait for petitions before investigating weighty issues such
as the Ekiti rigging scandal.
Mr. Jonathan admitted that he has not even listened to the
tape. He however tried to save face by saying he originally
dismissed it as a fabrication, despite admissions from key
actors the meeting actually held, because the person who
recorded it did so to achieve a particular purpose and
could have manipulated the discussion.
“I have not watched the video (it is an audio recording,
not video). I said that it was a fabrication because, you see,
people now, especially with the social media; we could be
here and discuss issues and somebody will hack some of
our voices and create a story that never happened,” he
said.
“Therefore I am not saying that a meeting in question was
held or not held, but the issue of conspiring to rig, I said it
was a fabrication,” he said.

A 32-year-old truck pusher, Alloysus Ikejimba, has been
arrested by policemen for allegedly defiling a 9-year-old girl.

Vanguard gathered that the suspect, who was described as a
serial rapist, had raped his victim more than four times before
he was arrested.
Police sources told Vanguard that the suspect had been
arrested over a similar offence in the past.
Speaking with Vanguard, father of the victim, who simply
identified himself as Kennedy, said the suspect usually defiled
his daughter whenever she was taking her bath.
He said: “My daughter normally complained to his mother, but
her mother refused to tell me about it. He does it to her
whenever she is taking her bath at the back of our house.
“Unfortunately for him, two weeks ago, I was in the house and I
saw my wife standing beside my daughter while she was taking
her bath and I went and asked her what was happening she told
me that my neighbour Alloy, had been defiling my daughter for a
long time.
“I confronted him and he started begging me. He ran away from
his house and I did not see him for two weeks.
“Few days ago, he brought the police to my house to arrest me,
complaining that I was threatening his life.
“When I came to the police station, I told them what he had
done and they arrested him and took my child for medical check
up.
“The report is out and it has shown that she was defiled
multiple times by Alloysus.”

Denial

The suspect, however, denied defiling the victim.
He said: “We live in the same compound at Okokomaiko and I
normally bath my child because my wife is not feeling very well.
“She was shot last year during a robbery incident at Alaba
International Market, where I also work.
“The mother accused me of touching her child’s private part,
but I only touched her head.
“When the father confronted me, I told him that I did not do it.
He took me before the community people and beat me up in
their presence. They begged him to allow me go, but he
refused.”
Divisional Police Officer, Okoko Division, CSP Ibrahim Zango,
referred newsmen to the command’s image maker.

UPDATE: The Kano state Commissioner of
Police, Ibrahim Idris, has confirmed the
death of 12 persons, including two suicide
bombers, in today’s bomb attack on Kano
Line Motor park on Zaria Road, Kano.
He did not say how many people were
injured.
Read our earlier report of the incident
below.
=============
An explosion has gone off at one of the
busiest motor parks in Kano, residents and
security officials have told PREMIUM
TIMES.
An unknown number of people are feared
dead in the blast, which occurred at Kano
Line, located at Naibawa Area, along Zaria
Road.
The explosion sounded at about 3:15 PM
with thick smokes immediately billowing
towards the sky and residents scampering
for safety.
The vicinity of the scene of the incident is
now deserted as security agencies and aid
workers try to evacuate injured people to
hospital, our correspondent says.
Residents fear heavy casualty “because of
the the busy nature of the garage”.
Details are still sketchy and the Police in
the state are yet to make any comment on
the incident.
The spokesperson for the Kano State Police
Command, Magaji Majiya as well as the
Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Idris, did not
answer or return calls.
Details of the incident will come in our
subsequent updates
The Kano incident happened hours after a
suicide bomber killed over 20 people at a
motor park in Potiskum, Yobe State.
An official involved in rescue activities at
the scene of the blast also said over 30
others were injured and were being taken
to the hospital.
“The bomber disguised as a traveller going to Kano. He
even took his seat inside the car before detonating
his explosive-laden vest,” the aid worker said, preferring
anonymity because he is not permitted to talk on the
matter.
A female suicide bomber had struck Monday at the GSM
market in the town, killing five person and injuring several
others.

Lolz. no harm in glancing thru someone's idea

Optometry are primary eyecare providers. Diagnosis and treatment of anterior ailments of the eye. treatment and treatment of refractive errors with corrective lenses.

Opthtalmology involves surgical eye cases. its a specialty in medicine and surgery. They are not involved in refraction or prescription of lenses. they dwell on advanced issues like cataract removal, retrobulbar injections, laser surgeries, enucleation, etc. They are consultants.

Thanks. Optometrists act as middle men b/w opthamologists n Opticians

favoured234:
An ophthalmologist is a specialist in medical and surgical eye problems. Since ophthalmologists perform operations on eyes, they are both surgical and medical specialists.
Optometry is a healthcare profession concerned with the eyes and related structures, as well as vision, visual systems, and vision information processing in humans...

Wiki is my friend

Optometrists can't carry out surgery. Opticians glaze lens. So Opticians r rili nt needed. Wat dey can do, opthamologists can even do more as per say d surgical aspect

Cmanforall:
WRONG perception of Dentistry.
Dentists do not just handle toothache. Hope your grandma will also remove that tooth, if its due?
Note, Dentists can still do their postgraduate training to become Maxillo-facial surgeons...

Dentistry is better than Optometry in all ramifications.
If you have an eye problem, I know you'll prefer seeing a dispensing optician to save cost. But if you have adequate knowledge and want to seek a professional consultation with respect to your eye problems, you will go for an Ophthalmologist. NOT an Optometrist.

Optometry is not worth the 6years university stress.

Opticians dispense glasses... now, Wats d diff b/w Optometry n opthamology?

Editor1:
Nice to see that my Profession is been talked about...

@Op, am a Doctor of Optometry (OD). And its good to let u know dat Optometry is 'extra-lucrative'. Its not a very common and saturated course like Medicine and nursing. But it has got a class of its own.
It has not gotten to the height of Medicine and Surgery, but we are growing rapidly...the monetary and professional gains out dia is great. But like oda courses, u need to have passion for it, carve out time to study it over the 6yr period and get ur rewards.

U can mail me; n.s.alozie@gmail.com for more info
Dnt be discouraged. Mind u, am not "hyping" the profession as some may think. It has its downs too, if u fail to plan very well.

Difference between opthamology n Optometry

favoured234:
More lucrative than dentistry.....
Reason: If teeth pain me, my grandmamma go give me agbo.. But if eye pain me I will not even allow a GP look at the eye

Wats nw d diff b/w an opthamologist and an optometrist?

OK
