Vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, has undergone a surgical procedure on his leg. This is due to a recurrent pain in the leg, which is believed to have been sustained from injury while playing squash. Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, confirmed this in a statement sent to DAILY POST on Saturday. “VP Osinbajo is in the hospital today for a surgical procedure on account of a recurrent pain in the leg possibly sustained from an injury while playing squash. “His doctors would give an update of the treatment later today,” Akande said. Osinbajo recently denied seeking President Muhammadu Buhari’s permission to dump the All Progressives Congress, APC, over the party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket. He insisted that the memorandum suggesting he asked Buhari for permission to leave APC was not from him.

Muhammad Daiyabu is one of the victims
of the Abuja- Kaduna train attack of
March 28, 2022. Daiyabu whose pregnant
wife was earlier released by the terrorists,
also regained freedom together with six
others last Saturday. He narrates his
experience in captivity Excerpts:


...How does it feel to be free?
I am appealing to the government to
meet their( terrorists)demands so that the
remaining victims can be freed. The most
worrisome part is the fate of the
remaining people left in the bush, about
44 victims including four children and an
85-year-old woman are still in captivi


....How were you treated in the forest?
They treated us well and even slaughtered
six cows for us. They fed us throughout
our three months stay in captivity.



.....It was reported that you were beaten by
snakes, scorpions and other reptiles in the
forest?
Several reports circulating on social
media about us being beaten by snakes
are false. These false reports circulated in
the media were causing more harm than
good to the victims still in captivity. The
terrorists killed about 10 snakes and two
scorpions in the forest. So the information
that we were beaten by snakes is false as
no one was beaten by a snake.



.....What is the condition of the remaining
victims?
The remaining victims are alive and well,
My mother who is battling high blood
pressure, almost collapsed when she
heard that we were being bitten by
snakes.

As Security Operatives Arrest One Bandit With AK 47 Rifle, Ammunition, Phone Four persons were killed and 15 abducted, as terrorists attacked Iburu village, under Kufana District of Kajuru Local Council in Kaduna State. A community leader, Daniel Garba, at the weekend, confirmed the incident. Garba said: “The bandits stormed the community at night and killed three persons, while the fourth person was murdered on his way to offer assistance. They also kidnapped 15 others. He decried the incessant attacks being carried out by bandits around the area but commended the efforts of the government and security agencies operating in the local council towards tackling insecurity in the area. Meanwhile, the Police Command, in the state, said security operatives had arrested a bandit with AK 47 rifle and ammunition following a tip-off on movement of illicit arms in parts of Southern Kaduna. The Police Command spokesman, DSP Muhammed Jalige, said in a statement, yesterday, that “on receipt of credible intelligence on suspected movement of illicit arms around Mariri Village, Saminaka, Lere Local Council, Kaduna State, the Commissioner of Police, CP Yekini Ayoku ordered an immediate security cordon of the area, which yielded positive result with the arrest of a suspected armed bandit “. He explained that the tactical execution of this operation was in line with the directive of IGP Alkali Baba Usman on intelligence as well as community policing strategy geared towards nipping crimes in the bud. Jalige said: “Preliminary investigations revealed the identity of the arrested suspect as one Ishaku Habu a.k.a Deta, a 25-year-old man from the same Mariri village. Recovered from him are the following items: One Ak47 rifle loaded with 29 rounds of 7.62 X 39mm live ammunition and one mobile phone, as he confessed to have been a member of kidnapping and cattle rustling syndicate in the area. “The Commissioner of Police, while reiterating the IGP’s directive, ordered for a meticulous investigation in a bid to arrest other gang members as well as recover their operational logistics for prosecution.” “The CP equally called on the communities to redouble their current efforts in providing actionable and result-oriented intelligence such as this to assist the command and its sister agencies to minimise the current security challenges in the state”.

The Former Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai (Rtd), has denied a report linking him with about N1.85billion looted funds allegedly recovered by the Independent Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC, in a property in Abuja. The former COAS, through his team of lawyers led by Dr. Reuben Atabo, SAN, said he was in no way connected with the alleged stashed loot, even as threatened to institute a legal action against an online media outfit, Sahara Reporters, should it fail to retract the said report within seven days. In his pre-litigation notice, a copy of which was sighted by Vanguard on Saturday, Buratai, who is currently Nigeria’s Ambassador to Benin Republic, also demanded an apology from the media organization. He decried that very serious allegation that were leveled against him in the report, which he said was capable of brewing hatred and attack by the public against him, has caused him great embarrassment. The notice, read: “We refer to your publication dated 23rd day of June 2022 with the caption: ‘EXCLUSIVE: Anti-graft Agency, ICPC Uncovers Billions In Cash Meant For Arms, Ammunition To Fight Boko Haram In Abuja Home Of Ex-Chief Of Army Staff, Buratal.’ “In the said publication, you alleged that the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) had recovered N1.85 billion from a house and office said to belong to our client. “It was further reported by you that ‘the huge cash was part of the billions of naira earmarked for the purchase of arms and ammunition by the Muhammadu Buhari- led government.’
