PoliticsBoko Haram Attacks Cameroon Army Base, Several Wounded by ifyclose2(op): 4:45pm On Feb 16, 2015
MAROUA, Cameroon (Reuters) -
Nigerian Boko Haram insurgents
attacked a Cameroon military
camp near the town of Waza in the
north of the country on Monday,
wounding several soldiers, an
army spokesman said.
Chad, Niger and Cameroon have
begun a joint offensive against
Boko Haram militants who have
killed thousands of people in a bid
to carve out an Islamist emirate in
northern Nigeria, and have
increasingly staged raids across
nearby borders.
"The wounded are being
evacuated. The insurgents have
been stopped. An APC (armored
personnel carrier) was taken from
them and several of them were
killed," a Cameroonian military
officer told journalists in Maroua,
adding the incident was
continuing.
Earlier this month, Boko Haram
fighters killed more than 100
people in the northern Cameroon
town of Fotokol, including
residents inside their homes and a
mosque, a local political leader
said.

PoliticsJonathan's Aide, Omokri Burglarizes House In Delta, Carts Away N25million by ifyclose2(op): 9:12am On Feb 15, 2015
Pandemonium broke out on Tuesday in Warri, Delta
State when the Special Assistant to President
Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Mr. Reno Omokri
and armed thugs working under his instructions
allegedly burglerized a house in Bendel Estate, Warri.
Early reports say the perpetrators carted away the
sum of N25million naira for a pro-Jonathan's support
group to buy votes for President Jonathan during the
March 28, presidential election.
Impeccable sources who witnessed the incident, told
SaharaReporters that Omokri had stormed the
apartment in DPPA Housing Estate Warri with armed
thugs and some mobile policemen who later fled the
scene carrying a “Ghana must go bag” filled with the
N25 million naira.
SaharaReporters learned that the property in
question belongs to Omokri’s late mother, who is
already the subject of litigation after his bid to
forcefully evict the occupants from the building.
Omokri and the occupants of the building, the
Oyoros, have been engaged in a legal battle over the
building which has been leased to Oyoro's wife, Fina
Maiki by Omokri's late mother. Fina Maiki was friend
to Omokri’s late mother, who passed while the lease
agreement was in force.
“Omokri and his armed thugs who arrived the
compound in commando like style, shooting
sporadically into the air, ransacked the apartment,
and stashed the money in a ‘Ghana must go bag’
which they also stole from the apartment. They were
well armed and they gained access to the compound
after cutting the padlock gate and climbing onto the
roof. The perpetrators are said to have left a note
behind with the inscription: "eviction notice" bearing
Omokri's name, which they had wanted to paste on
the wall of the building.
“A similar incident happened in 2014 when the
estranged Omokri had, after a court proceeding on
the case instituted by him, mobilized some people to
the premises and boldly painted on the fence the
inscription: “This house belongs to Bemigho Omokri,
Fina Oyoro is being evicted at Customary Court in
case No 561/2012 even when the court was yet to
decide on the matter. Omokri is using the presidency
to intimidate everybody,” the source stated.
According to a source the building, which is located
at plot 17, 19 street, of DDPA Housing Estate,
Ugborikoko-Effurun, opposite the Warri residence of
former governor of the state, Chief James Ibori was
abandoned for four years. It was in a dilapidated
condition prior to the lease agreement, but was given
extensive renovation by the Oyoros after the lease
agreement they had with late mother of Omokri, Ms
Helen Igbene who then resided in Enugu state.
Narrating the incident to SaharaReporters, the
occupant of the burglarized apartment and former
PDP Ughelli North/Udu Federal Constituency
Aspirant, Prince Alex Oyoro, confirmed the story,
saying he was away in Abuja when he received a call
that armed men led by Reno Omokri unlawfully and
illegally invaded and burgled his home.
“Omokri for a long time now has been harassing,
threatening, and intimidating my family with the
presidency over the disputed property which no
court of competent jurisdiction had adjudicated on.
My wife called me, saying that some armed thugs
have invaded my house and that they came with
hammer, cutters, ladders and other items. About six
of them wore police uniforms and the others on
mufti and they came with three cars. They broke the
gate, some flew the fence about 8: am and try to
force their way into the house.
“When they couldn’t, they used the ladder to climb
through the ceiling and started ransacking the house,
for what I don’t know. They saw a “Ghana must go”
bag containing N24million and carried it. The money
belong to South-South Mandate, and I was to deposit
the money the follow day when I return from Abuja
but it appears they calculated I was not in town and
that was when they stormed my house. As soon as
they got the bag they fled but unfortunately for them
they left vital information which contains the name of
Reno Bemigho Omokri who happened to be the
Special Assistant to the President on New Media.
“Before now, this Omokri have been harassing me,
claiming that he is the owner of the house and that I
should leave the house. Before now he had also
taken me to court on the same issue and the matter
is still pending in court but he has been trying to get
justice through the back door. I don’t know why a
man who claim he is working for the President
should use the seat of the president to intimidate law
abiding Nigerians during this electioneer time.
“I believe the attack was political because if it was a
landlord and tenant issues, they could have just
pasted the purported eviction notice which ordinarily
goes with court judgment, but in this case it was not
so, they invaded the house, ransacked it and stole
from it while shooting sporadically in the name of
eviction. So I believe it was political because Reno
Omokri, we know his antecedent. He was an aide to
Atiku Abubakar and it was through him that they
planted him in the presidency again. So if he is
working from the opposition and he is a mole in the
presidency this incident would reveal it.” Oyoro
stated.
Continuing, Oyoro who is a coordinator of Jonathan/
Sambo support group, South-South Mandate, called
on the police to investigate the matter and ensure
that those who invaded his house and stole from it
were brought to book.
“If Omokri is hiding under the umbrella of the
presidency to commit crime-the world would know
because this is injustice. The trauma we have passed
through would not be left to go let that. We have
been sleeping in this roofless house like for three
days now- it is unfair, injustice and oppression of the
higher day and I pray the law must take its course.
“I am also crying to the civil society organization to
stand by me on this because this is oppression in
high places, I have not done anything wrong to
Omokri. I was not the one who took him to court, he
did and the courts are yet to decide so where have I
gone wrong that Omokri is after our lives?” Oyoro
said. Source http://saharareporters.com/2015/02/14/jonathans-aide-omokri-burglarizes-house-delta-carts-away-n25million-meant-buying-votes

Politics2015 Presidential Election Ballot Papers Found In London by ifyclose2(op): 10:59am On Feb 14, 2015
Ballots meant for the Nigerian presidential election
were found yesterday at the premises of a local
printer in the Essex area of London. Our sources
said the sensitive election materials, which ought to
have arrived in Nigeria earlier in the week, were
unsecured at the premises of Panther Printing
Services in London. SaharaReporters was able to
confirm that a Nigerian firm named Cemoz
International Limited had been contracted to print
some ballot papers for the 2015 presidential
elections. A spokesman for the Independent National Electoral
Commission, Kayode Idowu, confirmed to
SaharaReporters that Cemoz International Limited
was one of the firms awarded the contract to print
ballot papers.
It appears that, upon getting the contract, Cemoz
went shopping for printers in London to print the
ballot papers and then contracted these other
printers to serially number the ballot papers.
Although the ballot papers for the presidential
elections for several southwest states were seen lying
around the premises of the printing company in
Essex, a staff at the company, speaking to a
correspondent of SaharaReporters, said the firm only
had the contract to print some of the ballot papers
for Jigawa State. Thinking that our correspondent
worked for Cemoz, the representative of the Essex-
based company asked if we could give them more
jobs, adding that their company had mastered how
to print ballot papers.
SaharaReporters later obtained a bill of lading
showing that Cemoz planned to ship the ballot
papers to Nigeria a few hours before February 14th,
the day initially sect aside for the presidential
election. INEC subsequently postponed the election
for six weeks.

PoliticsBREAKING - Katsina College Releases Buhari's WASC Results by ifyclose2(op): 5:22pm On Jan 21, 2015
Katsina College, formerly Provincial Secondary
School, which Muhammadu Buhari, the All
Progressives Congress, APC, presidential
candidate, graduated from in 1961, has released
Mr. Buhari’s secondary school certificate
examination results.
The results, obtained exclusively by PREMIUM
TIMES Wednesday, confirm Mr. Buhari’s claim
that he undertook the University of Cambridge
West African School Certificate Examinations
and obtained five credits in English Language,
Geography, Hausa Language, History, and
Health Science.
PREMIUM TIMES obtained the computer
printout from Cambridge University as well as
a statement of result, signed by the current
principal of Katsina College, dated January 21,
2015.
The results show that Mr. Buhari, a former
military head of state, failed in Mathematics
and Woodwork, and had a pass in Literature in
English.
The examination centre number was 8280 while
Mr. Buhari’s candidate number was 002.
The statement of results is printed on the letter
head paper of the Katsina State Ministry of
Education, and it shows that the examination
took place in 1961.
The Cambridge print out also shows the result
of 17 other candidates at the centre, including
Shehu Yar’adua, a former Chief of Staff,
Supreme Headquarters.
Controversy over Mr. Buhari’s result escalated
Tuesday after the Nigerian Army, which had
earlier admitted to having a copies of his
certificate, reversed itself saying it could not
even attest to the details listed in his records.
The spokesperson of the Army, Olajide Laleye,
said “Neither the original copy, certified true
copy (CTC) nor statement of result of
Major-.Gen. Mohammadu Buhari‘s WASC
result is in his personal file.”
He said while it is the practice in the Nigerian Army that before
candidates are shortlisted for commissioning into the officers’
cadre of the service, the selection board verifies the original
copies of credentials as presented, “There is no available record
to show that this process was followed in the 1960s.”
The military’s comments came after the retired general had said
that his lost copies of results were with the Army, an
explanation he gave ahead of elections February 14. Source www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/175384-breaking-katsina-college-releases-buharis-%E2%80%8Bwasc-results.html

PoliticsBaga Massacre The Deadliest In Boko Haram History Says Amnesty International by ifyclose2(op): 7:27pm On Jan 09, 2015
Following reports of the massacre of large
numbers of civilians by armed group Boko Haram
in north east Nigeria, Amnesty International has
expert spokespeople available to comment.
“The attack on Baga and surrounding towns,
looks as if it could be Boko Haram’s deadliest act
in a catalogue of increasingly heinous attacks
carried out by the group. If reports that the town
was largely razed to the ground and that
hundreds or even as many as two thousand
civilians were killed are true, this marks a
disturbing and bloody escalation of Boko Haram’s
ongoing onslaught against the civilian
population,” said Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher
for Amnesty International.
“We are currently working to find out more
details of what happened during the attack on
Baga and the surrounding area. This attack
reiterates the urgent need for Boko Haram to
stop the senseless killing of civilians and for the
Nigerian government to take measures to protect
a population who live in constant fear of such
attacks,” said Daniel Eyre.
Background:
Boko Haram militants reportedly attacked Baga
and surrounding towns on Saturday 3 January.
Since 2009, Boko Haram has deliberately targeted
civilians through raids and bomb attacks with
attacks increasing in frequency and severity.
The effects on the civilian population have been
devastating with
thousands killed and abducted and hundreds of
thousands forced to leave their homes.
Evidence gathered by Amnesty International
indicates that Boko Haram have committed war
crimes and crimes against humanity. The
Nigerian government must investigate these
violent abuses and ensure that those guilty of
committing them are brought to justice.

Foreign AffairsUSA Shuts Down North Korea's Internet After Sony Hack by ifyclose2(op): 10:11pm On Dec 22, 2014
If you've been following the Sony, North Korea and
the US government saga then you should know what
this is about. But let me give a brief summary
because I'm about to board a flight.

Sony Pictures released a movie called The Interview,
a comedy about a fictional assassination of North
Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.. North Korean didn't
find it funny and hacked into Sony's computers,
rendering thousands of computers inoperable and
forced Sony to take its entire computer network
offline. That wasn't enough, they then threatened
terror attack on US citizens if Sony doesn't cancel
showing the movie, forcing Sony to pull the interview
from theaters and losing almost $200m. Then the US
government got involved and told Sony to go ahead and
release the movie, that they don't take lightly to
threats and promised to retaliate for the attack on
Sony. It looks like they've kept their to promise. North
Korea is currently offline. Lol

"Internet connectivity between North Korea and
the outside world is currently suffering one of
its worst outages in recent memory, suggesting
that the country may be enduring a mass cyber
attack a few days after President Obama warned
the US would launch a "proportional response" to
North Korea's hack against Sony
North Korea, which has four official networks
connecting the country to the Internet -- all of
which route through China -- began experiencing
intermittent problems yesterday and today went
completely black, according to Doug Madory,
director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research in
Hanover, New Hampshire." Bloomberg reports.

I find this so hilarious! Moral of the story, don't mess with the USA.
Source http://lindaikeji..nl/2014/12/lmao-north-koreas-internet-is-down-you.html?m=1

North Korea experienced sweeping Internet outages for hours before coming back online late Monday. One computer expert said the country's online access was "totally down."

The White House and the State Department declined to say whether the U.S. government was responsible.

President Barack Obama said Friday the U.S. government expected to respond to the hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., which he described as an expensive act of "cyber vandalism" that he blamed on North Korea. Obama did not say how the U.S. might respond, and it was not immediately clear if the Internet connectivity problems represented the retribution. The U.S. government regards its offensive cyber operations as highly classified.

"We aren't going to discuss, you know, publicly operational details about the possible response options or comment on those kind of reports in anyway except to say that as we implement our responses, some will be seen, some may not be seen," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said.

North Korea has forcefully denied it was responsible for hacking into Sony. But the country has for months condemned the "The Interview," a Sony satirical comedy about a plot to assassinate the North Korean leader. Sony canceled plans to release the movie after a group of hackers made terroristic threats against theaters that planned to show it.

North Korea is one of the least connected countries in the world. Few North Koreans have access to computers, and even those who do are typically able to connect only to a domestic intranet. Though North Korea is equipped for broadband Internet, only a small, approved segment of the population has any access to the World Wide Web. More than a million people, however, are now using mobile phones in North Korea. The network covers most major cities but users cannot call outside the country or receive calls from outside.

North Korean diplomat Kim Song, asked Monday about the Internet attack, told The Associated Press: "I have no information."

Ivan Simonovic, the U.N. assistant secretary-general for human rights, told reporters he didn't want to speculate about the nature of the Internet outages but said he hoped it would be "thoroughly investigated."

Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research, an Internet performance company, said Monday the problems began over the weekend and grew progressively worse to the point that "North Korea's totally down."

South Korean officials said early Tuesday in Seoul that Internet access to the North's official Korean Central News Agency and the Rodong Sinmun newspaper were working normally again.

Another Internet technology service, Arbor Networks, which protects companies against hacker attacks, said its monitoring detected denial-of-service attacks aimed at North Korea's infrastructure starting Saturday and persisting Monday. Such attacks transmit so much spurious data traffic to Internet equipment that it becomes overwhelmed, until the attacks stop or the spurious traffic can be filtered and discarded to allow normal connections to resume.

Given North Korea's limited connectivity and lack of Internet sophistication, it would be relatively simple for a band of hacktivists to shut down online access, and it should not be assumed that the U.S. government had any part, said Dan Holden, director of security research at Arbor Networks.

"Anyone of us that was upset because we couldn't watch the movie, you could do that. Their Internet is just not that sophisticated," Holden said.

Madory said one benign explanation for the problem might be that a router suffered a software glitch, though a cyber-attack involving North Korea's Internet service was also a possibility. Routing instabilities are not uncommon, but instead of getting better, as one might expect, "it's getting worse, getting progressively degraded," Madory said.

"This doesn't fit that profile," of an ordinary routing problem, he said. "This shows something getting progressively worse over time."

PoliticsAli Modu Sheriff Secretly Visited The Impounded Russian Plane by ifyclose2(op): 5:50am On Dec 08, 2014
A former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, widely
accused of sponsoring Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria, may
be lobbying for the release of the Chad-bound cargo aircraft
confiscated in Kano for transporting large consignment of
military hardware, PREMIUM TIMES can report today.
Sources at the Aminu Kano International Airport, where the
plane is currently detained, said Mr. Sheriff visited the Kano
airport at about 10 p.m. on Saturday and held discussions with
some officials on the possibility of releasing the aircraft.
Our sources said on arriving the airport, officials allowed the
former governor a secret tour of the aircraft, during which he
inspected its consignments.
“I was there and I saw him and two airport security officials
accompanying him to inspect the plane. I saw the black
helicopters and two bullet proof SUVs,” one of our sources said.
“I also heard him (Mr. Sheriff) say verbal directive had been
given from Abuja for the release of the plane but that
authorities of the airport were insisting on written directive.”
Mr. Sheriff could not be reached to comment for this story. His
known mobile telephone number was switched off for several
hours that PREMIUM TIMES called Saturday. He is also yet to
reply a text message sent to him.
The Manager of the Kano Airport, a Mr. Adamu, told PREMIUM
TIMES he is in Abuja and was therefore unaware of Mr.
Sheriff’s tour of the detained aircraft.
The former Borno governor is a close ally of both the Nigerian
president, and the government of Chad – the plane’s final
destination.
A 2010 Intelligence report by a Nigerian security agency
suggested that Mr. Sheriff was personally involved in the
recruitment, training and dispatch of Boko Haram fighters,
under the full cover of Idris Deby, the Chadian president.
Chad is Nigeria’s neighbour. Laying on Nigeria’s northeast
shoulder, and sharing long distances of unregulated borders, it
is considered a window to safety for Boko Haram fighters.
An Australian negotiator engaged by the Nigerian government
to bring Boko Haram insurgents to the negotiation table,
Stephen Davies, also spoke of how the insurgents named Mr.
Sheriff as one of their sponsors during his conversations with
the terrorists.
Airport officials told PREMIUM TIMES Mr. Sheriff’s verbal
pressures to let the plane go was turned down.
He was asked to get written permission from “ogas at the top” –
authority high up in Abuja – our sources said.
After inspecting the plane and holding discussions with local
officials, Mr. Sheriff reportedly left for Abuja, Nigeria’s capital
city, in a private jet at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Security operatives at the Kano Airport had seized the plane
when it landed at the facility at about 2a.m. Saturday as a result
of technical problems.
Crew members of the airplane were immediately detained while
investigations continued, officials said.
“Security has since been beefed up at the airport in order to
ensure proper investigation,” the officials added.
The General Manager, Communications, Federal Airport
Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Yakubu Datti, confirmed the
seizure of the plane.
He said the pilot sought permission to land at the airport after
the plane developed problems.
“The plane had a technical problem and the pilot sought (for)
permission to land at the airport’’, he said.
Mr. Datti said security agencies had since commenced
investigation into the matter.
Security sources told PREMIUM TIMES the plane was
travelling to N’djamena, the capital of Chad.
PR Nigeria, an agency known for distributing press statements
on behalf of the Nigerian military, later circulated a statement
saying the aircraft contained “a chopper tucked in it”.
“… Intense investigation is ongoing including using diplomatic
means to unravel the mission of the aircraft, its origin and
destination,” the statement said.
This is the third time since 2009 that planes loaded with arms
would be arrested in Kano, our correspondent says.
The detained planes were later released after investigations.
The destination of the latest aircraft has however raised
concerns amid increasing worries in Nigeria over Chad’s
alleged role in the Boko Haram insurgency plaguing Nigeria’s
northeast.
The plane and its consignment was initially thought to originate
from Russia but the Russian Embassy in Abuja issued a
statement denying ownership of the AH-124-100 heavy military

manufactured by the Russian Antonov. Source www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/172597-ex-borno-governor-ali-modu-sheriff-secret-visit-arms-laden-chad-bound-plane-detained-nigeria.html
