According to reports, about 60 women have been abducted fromWaga Mangoro and Garta villages in Adamawa State by Boko Haram militants. The terrorists, numbering about 100, attacked the communities on motorcycles and vans on Saturday, October 18, burnt houses and abducted women and young girls, Daily Trust reports. A resident of Garta, Tizhe Kwada said: “The insurgents are still in the area. They slit the throats of three men in Garta and abducted many young women. We also heard from residents of Wagga that they killed two men and took 40 women away.” Kwada further added that the terrorists went from house to house to select the women and then forced their relatives to accept N1,500 and kola nuts as bride price. The Nigerian government announced a ceasefire deal with Boko Haram which was also supposed to result in the release of the abducted Chibok Girls but recent developments and this subsequent a*******n have cast doubts on that possibility. |

Nigeria’s senior national team has dropped five places to 42nd in the latest Fifa world ranking released on Thursday. The African champions were adjudged the 38th best football playing team in the world according to the ranking released earlier in September. The Eagles are now the ninth-ranked African side behind Algeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Tunisia, Ghana, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Egypt and Senegal following their poor run in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers earlier this month. Their drop comes after losing 1-0 to Sudan in Khartoum after playing out a 0-0 draw in South Africa. Meanwhile Algeria remain at the summit of African football with 989 points which put them in the 15th position in the world while Cote d’Ivoire are second in Africa and ranked 25th in the world. Tunisia stay third on the continent after amassing 780 points which places them in the 31st spot in the world. Germany, Argentina and Colombia hold the first, second and third spots in the world respectively as Fifa World Cup hosts Brazil retained their sixth spot in the world. The next ranking will be released on November 27, 2014. |

After months of trial, South African athlete, Oscar Pistorius, has been sentenced to five years in jail for killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The sentence was for culpable homicide which Pistorius was found guilty of. The defence called for a house arrest and community service, while the state prosecutor asked the court to impose a minimum of 10 years in prison. Judge Thokozile Masipa, Tuesday, said any sentence would need to demonstrate a balance between the crime, the criminal and the effect on the society. She acknowledged that while Pistorius had shown remorse, a very light sentence may send the wrong message to the society, and encourage people aggrieved in the future to take the law into their hands. “Yes the accused is vulnerable but he also has excellent coping skills. He excelled as a top athlete against big odds even going on to compete against able-bodied people,” the judge said. Pistorius was also found guilty of negligently handling a firearm that went off in a restaurant in a separate incident. The judge imposed a three years of fully suspended sentence for that offence. Steenkamp was shot dead by Pistorius at his Pretoria home on the eve of the 2013 Valentine’s Day. The athlete maintains the shooting was in error as he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. The deceased was a 29-year-old law school graduate who turned to modelling before her death. The state accused Pistorius of lying and pressed for his conviction for murder. In her earlier ruling, Judge Masipa said there was no evidence supporting premeditated murder, but said Pistorius acted “negligently” when he fired shots through a toilet door in the “belief that there was an intruder”. Culpable homicide means there was no intention to kill a person, but the actions were negligent. The paralympian was escorted past a crowd of reporters into the court in South Africa by armed police.

Another United Nations staff member in Sierra Leone has died from Ebola, according to the UN spokesman, Stephane Dujarric on Monday. He is said to be the third UN employee to succumb to the deadly virus. The man, who was a driver for the UN Women agency, passed away at the weekend in Sierra Leone and his spouse is currently receiving treatment. “All measures to protect staff at the duty station in Sierra Leone are being taken as best as possible under the current circumstances,” said Dujarric. The world’s worst Ebola outbreak has killed at least 4,500 people in West Africa where the United Nations is leading an effort to beat back the virus with a massive influx of aid.

Despite claims of a ceasefire between the Nigerian government and extremist sect, Boko Haram, soldiers on Sunday night shot dead 25 members of the sect during an attack on Damboa town of Borno state. This was disclosed by security officials. The attack on Damboa crystallised the doubts thousands of Nigerians expressed over the announced ceasefire deal the federal government said it signed on Friday with Boko Haram. An official of a local vigilante group, Muhammad Gava, who first confirmed the attack to PREMIUM TIMES in a phone interview, said the terrorists stormed Damboa at about 5pm on Sunday. “My members of the vigilante group in Damboa had informed me early this morning that the attack was repelled and more than two dozen of them were killed, said Mr. Gava. He added that “the gunmen, according to our Vigilante members in Damboa, came from the direction of Sambisa forest and driving several pickup vans and some military- like armoured personnel carriers”. An official of the State Security Services confirmed the incident to PREMIUM TIMES but pleaded not to be quoted as his superiors at Maiduguri office had prohibited him and other officers from speaking to the media on matters like this. “There was an attack on Damboa yesterday and our soldiers had effectively repelled them and killed 25 of them during a shootout. “The soldiers were able to recover several ammunition including a Buffalo Armoured Personnel Carrier which the terrorists abandoned,” he said. Boko Haram on July 17 hoisted their flags in Damboa after a deadly gun battle that killed several soldiers and a Lieutenant Colonel commanding the military base in Damboa. Damboa is 85km away from Maiduguri, Borno state capital. It also shares borders with Sambissa forest where Boko Haram has its largest training camp. |

The Lagos State Government on Sunday said it was finalising arrangements to deploy some health workers who helped in the containment of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the state to Sierra Leone. The Governor, Babatunde Fashola, made the announcement in Ikeja while speaking at a programme to commemorate the 2,700 days of his administration in office. The governor said the health workers were to replicate the state’s containment strategies in Sierra-Leone. Mr. Fashola said although Nigeria was, as of now, free from the disease, there was still the risk of new infections from cross-border movements. He, therefore, said the state’s planned mission to Sierra Leone was not only to assist the country to overcome the great health challenge, but also reduce the risk of the disease to countries within the sub-region. Sierra Leone accounts for a substantial number of the over 4,000 global Ebola deaths. “Lagos is free from Ebola, Nigeria is free from Ebola. But that does not mean there cannot be another case. For as long as people are moving from countries to countries, the risk of infections is still there,” Mr. Fashola said. “That is why I appeal to the Federal Government to continue to scrutinise people travelling into Nigeria from land, sea and air from regions where the problem is still ravaging. “That is why some of the things the commissioner for health will be announcing very soon is the arrangements we are making to send some of our health workers and volunteers to go and help out in Sierra Leone. “That is the only way we, the whole of Africa and the World can be safe.” The governor expressed optimism that EVD, just like other infectious diseases like Cholera that had once ravaged humanity without remedy, would soon get a cure. He said Nigerians needed not live in fear of the disease coming back into the country but urged them to take precautions that would guard against new infections in the country. Mr. Fashola said the state government had taken a number of initiatives to prevent a return of Ebola in the state. Some of the strategies, according to him, include the deployment of screening equipment to schools and hospitals and the construction of sanitary facilities in schools. Others are training and retraining of personnel on infectious diseases diagnosis and the sensitisation of residents on how to be safe from the problem. Mr. Fashola also announced that he had appointed Dr Oluwakemi Sekoni his Scientific Adviser as a move to enhance better response to Ebola disease and other infectious ailments. The governor said the responsibilities of the new adviser would include providing public information about infectious diseases for effective response. Others are actions and co-ordinating science-based research on food sufficiency, air pollution and helping in all other things that were likely to improve the general wellbeing of Lagos residents. “Today, I am announcing the appointment of Dr. Oluwakemi Sekoni as my Chief Scientific Adviser. She would be presented at a formal induction ceremony shortly,” he said. Reeling out some of his achievements in the last 100 days, Mr. Fashola said the Mainland Power Plant which would supply interrupted power to government facilities in mainland area was completed within the period. He said the government also inaugurated a Power Academy that would train people on all aspects of electricity generation, distribution and transmission and help improve the power sector. Mr. Fashola said the government also trained no fewer than 3,000 farmers on various aspects of agriculture and supported them with items to support their businesses. He said work was speeded up at the 70-gallon Adiyan Water Works to improve water supply in the state. (NAN) |
