Who takes liar Muhammad serious

'I will fight boko haram'

I don't like APC but if u ask me I'll say that Buhari is selfish/greedy

They only succeeded in deceiving 15million gullible Nigerians

The truth is that APC are still learn to be ruling party. They are better off as opposition

Standard always change whenever an Hausa Fulani man is in charge. I hope other ethnic group in Nigeria are seen the hypocristes called Yoruba. I pity Amaechi and other foools from across Niger who joined hand with yorubas to destroyed opportunity giving to them by God. For sure GEJ would have work better for southern Nigeria in his second term.

It's 2 early to start insulting let us wait till APC do cinema.
Why is it that Buhari have not visited Tinubu/Lagos since his inauguration?
For me, Buhari is ungrateful

Those 15million deranged Nigeria who stupiditly voted for Buhari have put us in serious danger

Anybody waiting for Buhari to attack his brothers must be highly deluded

Attack on Boko Haram is an attack to northern Nigeria- Buhari

Only 39 out over 100 ministries and palastatals in Nigeria are southerns under GEJ administration according to OP? Op you are very foolish!

Chanji!!! When we told you guys that Buhari has nothing except milk cow to offer una no believe, now it don de clear 4 una eyes

Buhari is a sharia promoter, what do u expect him 2 do

Nigeria is in big black scary poo. Whatever sin we committed to God that he chooses to punish us with this one chance change

Breaking of Ramadan fasting another Buhari achievement

From ROSE EJEMBI, Makurdi

The governorship election petition tribunal in Benue State has dismissed the motion challenging its jurisdiction to entertain the suit brought before it by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the last general elections, Terhemen Tarzoor.

Ruling on the motion, Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Elizabeth Karatu maintained that the tribunal had the latitude to take appropriate decisions and rulings in order to help and aid the cause of justice.

Counsel to Governor Samuel Ortom, Chief Adeniyi Akintola (SAN), had in his motion described the petition by the PDP as an abuse of court process, while counsel to Tarzoor, Mrs. Joy Adesina (SAN) argued that the motion raised by the respondent was intended to prolong the suit and frustrate the process.

Adesina insisted that all motions raised should be heard alongside the substantive suit.

In her ruling, Justice Karatu relied on Paragraphs 47(1)(2), 18(7)(g) and 12(5) of the First Schedule of the 2014 Electoral Act, as amended and Section 3(1)(2)(3) of the Practice Direction, noting that a lot of time would be saved if all motions raised in the matter were heard alongside the substantive suit.

“It is the position of the tribunal that all preliminary objections and motions in this suit should be heard alongside the substantive matter to save the time of the tribunal.”

In another ruling, read by Justice Katherine Ogunsanya, the tribunal also granted the application for the amendment of the pleadings as brought by the counsel to All Progressives Counsel (APC), and second respondent, Sebastian Hon and thereafter adjourned its sitting to July 7, 2015 for the continuation of the proceedings.

NOT less than eight persons were killed in the renewed wave of hostilities between the Fulani and Agatu on one hand and Fulani and Omala people on the other hand recently in Kogi.

Reports from the embattled community indicated that two persons were killed some weeks ago and on May 26, the mutilated body of a man who went to his farm in the afternoon from Obakume was brought home. An eyewitness said that though he was still breathing when he was brought in, he gave up the ghost on his way to the hospital and was buried.

Another eye witnessed indicated that towards Abejukolo area mutilated bodies of a couple who went to farm were also found the same way as their first victims. He added that the body of the pregnant wife was found on the farm the next day by the vigilante group. Unfortunately three Fulani men were also killed in the bush by unknown gunmen. The incidents have raised mutual suspicion between the two warring groups.

However youths of the Omala community in anger carried the corpses of their deceased kins- men to the palace of the paramount ruler even though it is a taboo for the paramount ruler of the town Ojogba, Boniface Musa to behold a corpse. Speaking to The Guardian, the Senior Special Assistant to the Kogi State Governor for Omala Local Council, Dr. Jerome Agi, confirmed the incidents. He indicated that the paramount ruler did not even behold the corpse of his own daughter when she died. He said the youths out of anger or ignorance did not remember that taboo.


That singular traditional believe around the Ojogba Agi, drew the ire of the youths who went on rampage and attacked the palace of the Ojogba. “They broke the windows of the palace, vandalized the cars and everything.” “The next thing was the setting ablaze of an estate owned by one Alhaji Hassan Abubakar of Omala, who they have been accusing of sponsoring the assassination of the people because of cow issue.”

He said for a very long time they have been contending with the Fulani people, maiming and attacking their people, which has been an age- long problem different from the Fulani Agatu crises. He said that of Fulani/Agatu has subsided. According him, the youths went on rampage over the dastardly act as they expressed their anger.

He said the police attempted to stop the youths but could not until he came in to calm them and they listened. “I asked them to sheath their sword and send their representatives to my office to see how to harmonise them together to overcome the issue. I went to the office and I received their representatives but the youths went to the man’s house and set it ablaze.”

The senior special adviser said the youths, however, denied complicity in the burning of the house alleging that it was miscreants who have taken advantage of the situation. He said all the security operatives including the DPO, the Captain of the Army were all there.

He said they thought of how to use the youths on surveillance in the bush. The special adviser said they were on top of the situation as they have reached out to the Fulani to placate them that it was not the people of Omala that were behind the killings of their three kindred.

He said: “Right now the Fulani are also on surveillance in the bush to know who are actually those behind the killings. We are in cooperation now and everything is calm.” “We are believing God that those behind the killings would be apprehended and handed over to police.”

He listed those that have been killed to include one man at Obakume, the husband and wife and one Agatu man who ran into Fulani robbers at Ayade on the road that leads to Bassa. He said the youths accused man who deals in cows as the sponsor of the killings so they attacked and burned down his house but it was never established.

“ They held the accusation because he is keeping cows. Cows were killed and being a cow- rearer he was perceived to be in tandem with the Fulani in the reprisal attacks.” He said the entire issue is coming to light as information from the people on surveillance has identified the killers as hired Fulani merceneris from Taraba State. Agi, however, said until they are apprehended he will not be able to know where the problem was coming from.
