Angry youth in Taraba reportedly harassed and chased out of their constituency, Garba Hammanjulde, a lawmaker representating Bali-Gassol federal constituency in the House of Representatives.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the incident occurred on Saturday at Central Primary School, Bali, when the lawmaker, who is also of the All Progressives Congress (APC) visited the area to donate a car and 11 motorcycles to party officials in the council.
"Hamman-Julde had just delivered his speech and was about to present the vehicles’ keys to the officials when irate youthin their hundreds threw sand, stones and sachet water at him. The lawmaker, who apparently sustained some minor bruises on his head was immediately whisked away by security operatives deployed at the event,’’ said a resident, Muhammad Nayaya.

Also confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer of Bali chapter of the party, Bala Takalafiya, said party officials were overpowered by the youth.

He said the youth’s grievances may not be unconnected with a recent interview that the lawmaker granted to a media outfit where he allegedly attempted to “undermine the popularity of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
“That interview he granted to BBC did not go down well with the youth where he claimed to have the same popularity with President Buhari. In the same interview, he said he is in favour of reordering of elections, a decision that many believe is a plot to unseat the president.
“It is as a result of all these that they vowed to pelt him whenever he comes here,” Mr Takalafiya said.
Another party member, Bello Garkuwa, said that “Hamman-Julde’s gift was a smack of mischief to the party loyalists in Bali”.
“Since we elected him to power, this is the first time he remembered to come and visit his constituency after almost two years, apparently because elections are around the corner. How can you abandon the party all this long only for you to show up with 11 motorcycles just to lure delegates in the upcoming election?”
Perhaps rattled by the mob action, a similar presentation of motorcycle keys that was billed for Mutum-Biyu in Gassol had to be postponed for security reasons.
The embattled lawmaker promised to react to the incident when free. However, at the time of filing in this report, he is yet to react.
The police spokesman, David Misal, simply said: “We heard of the incident but yet to get details.”

Guatemala's former military leader Efrain Rios Montt, who briefly ruled the country in the 1980s, has died at the age of 91.
In 2013, he became the first former head of state to face genocide charges in his own country.

His 17 months in office were considered some of the most ruthless of the war, with entire towns of indigenous Mayans - who were accused of harbouring insurgents - wiped out.
National prosecutors said that during these 17 months in power the former leader and his chief of military intelligence ordered the deaths of more than 1,700 people from the Ixil Maya ethnic group.
He was found guilty of charges of genocide and crimes against humanity in a national court in 2013.
A judge sentenced him to 80 years, but that ruling was later thrown out by the country's high court.

Number 2 correction tho..

@Crazysaint, without dwelling on the issue whether the event happened or not.....Yes you showed instances where it was foretold He was going to be betrayed and the price for which he would be....but none of those verses actually pinpointed Judas as the man. Like up till that very moment when he let himself be used,i think Judas still had the choice to be the vessel or not.

Stegomiah:
Lwkmd!
You can't tell the difference..... It smells different though

what are you saying? Which one should we believe now

elantraceey:
Intimidated ke, who said cooking must be exclusively the woman's duty? Even the world's best chef is a man. I'll just ask him to teach me more finish.


But that man must be a renowned chef to cook better than me.

You think? Trust me,men dey para o....guys that don't play with their stomach have magical hands in the kitchen

safarigirl:
I just want to know why the OP would address the other lady as 'massive'....really? Massive? You couldn't use the politically correct, 'thick' or even 'chubby'....na massive you see to use.

Anyway, the 'massive' female rocked it better

Are you saying she's not massive? Or you're just hoping op would be euphemistic about it

miketayo:
From Ur statement u already concluded that he was innocent which u don't know.

he shouldn't be celebrated at this point. if d victim was someone u love u wont b saying all this

the matter has been discarded already as there wasn't enough evidence to corroborate the girl's allegation. In the absence of any proof of him raping her,you think he should still be castigated? For a crime he prolly didn't commit?

vivie01:
I thought mixture of blue and yellow should be green now, fine art class things

Your number three answer too though

Think you are right with number one.

Lmao,oh true. I remember those colour mixtures back then.
Hehe,even op can't touch my number three answer

Know I'm right with all of them

NubiLove:
A lawyer fresh out of law school would have this case thrown out of court... and no prosecutor in Lagos state would take this case, do you know how many case they are handling? So it is the guy that said he is gay once on social media that they would focus their attention on?

A novice lawyer would destroy the so-called witnesses in 5 minutes --> I am sure he does his "gay stuff" behind close doors so where do you want to find witnesses?

It is very easy to discredit witnesses and label them "haters" or "jealous folks"... in fact too easy to do that!

Even the police cannot push the case to court.

The law punishes for "gay acts" and NOT a person being gay.... there is a big difference between the two...

The issue is not even about gay behaviour, it is a squabble between him and a lady called Toyin Lawani.

As much as I don't agree with most of your points,the situation of the Nigerian legal system makes them more compelling. But then no case is dead on arrival;in a sane society, text messages/chats would be subpoenaed,also his maids/workers/associates,you'd be surprised at the rate at which people would turn on you.

The two guys handling the cases on both ends is very crucial but as you rightly said,the prosecutors on ground are already overhauled. Then witness discreditation isn't that easy btw,because impugning their character automatically calls yours to questioning in the court.
Yeah,you're right,I'm not even sure he was called in regarding his sexuality.

lordyugo:
"Public show" translates to an act
Using the words "bae" etc doesn't correlate to a public show directly or indirectly,unless he posted an amorous compromising pic wit the same sex nd wit the words bae

public show translates to an act by virtue of your own interpretation. You know there are other canons of interpretation yh

NubiLove:
There must be evidence of a gay act between Bobrisky and one or more gay men to back up his claims of being gay... saying it cannot put him in jail.... if they are trying to accuse of him of being gay then the case is dead on arrival... police are better off harassing pick pockets and petty thieves.

Yeah,but such evidence isn't that elusive,witnesses can suffice+ check that section I cited,alongside sections 214-217 of the Criminal Code,all we need is a great prosecutor with awesome interpretation skills. Besides his recent declaration, his previous conducts and posts on media could suffice too.

ibkayee:
Conservative + ignorant on racism, white supremacy etc. It doesn't surprise me that many endorse him

Not particularly, US is unarguably a world power and whoever leads the country goes a long to affect the policies and extent of international relations. So i guess people were rejoicing because they felt he would bring about policies that aligned with their aspirations

some ridiculous customs in Africa sef ehn,i'm sure that taboo is just a superstition!

LuvU2:
u re not humane, that's fine. We are

for real? lmao, okay.

Erhmm Section 4(2), Same sex(Prohibition) Act, 2013: "The public show of same sex amorous relationship directly or indirectly is prohibited". All those his "my bae" bs he displays nko,its all about how they construe it; If Lagos state finds better prosecutor, they're going to put that guy behind bars for good. But then, we're in Nigeria! i'm sure his alleged senator bae would soon pull strings

LuvU2:
I think it's high time people started seeing Nigerians based abroad as the huge joke they re. With all that cockiness in our faces cos they re now third class citizens in so called first world countries (what the hell does that even mean. First world? nd we third/last world? Who comes up with all these ratings.) Life started in Africa nd then all of a sudden we re third world? how we have stopped so low to allow people judge us based on how much we hv nd not how humane we re.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_World

Btw, if Nigeria is anything to go by, we in this part of the world aren't humane as you're painting us uk

wtf is he saying?? he should go and peruse the laws of our country first

vivie01:

hehe, your number three answer tho

vivie01:
Why don't you answer then?

1. The person is your sister
2.Nothing
3. Glass.

Too cheap!! You mean riddles for a beginner?

DanseMacabre:
But it appears to be consensual na, though she's obviously under the influence of drugs.

Did you read the post? She was a minor so it doesn't matter if the whole thing was her idea sef

Preca:
how can they leave the gungun to follow the yunyun they have already

Lool,btw I visited...and its proof not prove

Cornerstone199:
WHY SHE NO GO WEAR BRA

is it your body??

Quite sad when your favorite character leads to the demise of your show. They could find a way around it tho,like Jill the character instead of the show

akintade59:
[b][/b] A frustrated UNILAG aspirants who sat for the POST UTME cries bitterly about being rejected of admission into the citadel of learning. He alleged the school about the admission malpractices going on where money exchange hands. What a poor boy, we hope the management of UNILAG will respond to this.

Listen to the aduio. [size=8pt][/size][color=#990000][/color]

Didnt listen to the audio, he should pick himself up and kick harder instead of trading blames!

kettykin:
this is why i love Europe , What happens now in Spain will to a very large extent determine if Biafra will be realised or not

Our constitution to a larger extent has a greater effect on the possibility, if any, of any Biafran determination whatsoever

fat excess and lack of exercise

tell that to Serena Williams

I could barely read your writeup mehn, its like the sentences just stopped midway.Anyways , you might wanna look into more channels and administrative remedies for the problem. i'd advice you exhaust every available remedy within the school first, i.e the Dean(which i'm guessing the HOD still answers to), the Senate?school council, VC et al
