Nigeria - The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for fast- tracking the clean-up of Ogoniland in accordance with the Report and recommendations of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). In a statement signed by the Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, on Friday in Port Harcourt, Rivers APC said the clean-up of Ogoniland by President Buhari, has proved that he is a better son of Rivers State and the Niger Delta than immediate past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, although he isn't from the region. “The news of President Buhari not only directed the cleaning up of Ogoni land but also the fast- tracking of the process came to us as a great relief particularly considering the fact that former President Jonathan in demonstration of his hatred and disdain for Rivers State and her people ensured that this exercise did not see the light of the day throughout his regime,” Rivers APC said. “President Buhari has demonstrated by this act that he is a better son of Rivers State and the long-suffering Niger Delta than Dr. Jonathan and Chief Wike who, though from the region, instead teamed up to ensure that the region was under-developed and even ceded our oil wells to other states while also ensuring that no Federal Government presence was felt in Rivers State throughout,” It commend and congratulated President Buhari “for this brave and patriotic step in cleaning up Ogoni land,” assuring him and the National APC Leadership that it would do everything constitutionally possible to get the impostor out of the Rivers State Government House.

E be like say na ugly man fit This country,,,from the look of things ;

The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Thursday disclosed that he would not contest the 2015 presidential election, following earlier reports of his interest in the presidency.

Oshiomhole explained that although he had received calls urging him to vie for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress following his commitment to the Nigerian project, he however, chose to focus on accelerating the pace of development in the state.

He recalled that in 2007, shortly after the expiration of his tenure, as a two-term President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, he came under similar pressure from well-meaning Nigerians from across all the divides, including the late human rights lawyer and activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, to vie for the presidency.

He, however, noted that he believed that his party had “enough credible materials” to pick to fly the party’s flag in the election.

In a statement personally signed by him, Oshiomhole said, “I wish to categorically state that I am not contesting for the 2015 presidential election.

“My focus now is to continue with our efforts to accelerate the pace of our development programmes to take Edo State to the next level.

“Anyone conversant with my antecedents will attest that I am not the type who does things half-heartedly. If I had resolved to run in 2015 I would have come out boldly and publicly to declare my intention.

“But convinced that anyone genuinely interested in service could do so in any capacity, I insisted against popular demand not to contest the presidency but the Governorship of Edo State in 2007 and, to the Glory of God, I won. Again, in 2012, I sought re-election and resoundingly won.

“I remain absolutely committed to the Nigerian project.

“I offer this clarification to clear the air once and for all.”

Boko Haram militants killed seven people on Monday in the remote northeast of Nigeria, residents and an official said, with reports indicating the victims were beheaded in a revenge attack.
The overnight raid targeted the town of Ngamdu in troubled Borno state, the area hardest hit in the Islamists’ five-year uprising.
When locals woke they discovered “seven people had been brutally killed”, said resident Musa Abor.
The gunmen “slit their (victims) throats just the way people slaughter goats”, he added.
Abor and a Borno state official, who asked that his name be withheld, said the bodies had been decapitated, in the latest act of gruesome violence blamed on the Islamists who have killed more than 10,000 people since 2009.
In recent months, Boko Haram insurgents have targeted reprisal attacks at locals who have fought alongside the military as vigilantes.
An army officer in Borno, who also requested anonymity, said 15 Boko Haram fighters were killed in clashes in Ngamdu two weeks ago and the group had vowed revenge against the community.
Those killed on Monday could not immediately be identified as vigilantes and the defence ministry was not available to comment on the attack or the alleged beheadings.
The violence came as Nigerian Muslims marked the Eid al-Adha festival, a public holiday in the religiously divided country. Most Islamic holidays in recent years have been marred by Boko Haram violence.
The militants are thought to be in control of more than two dozen towns and villages in the northeast, but the military has vowed to retake all lost ground as part of a continuing offensive launched in May of last year.
The military had imposed a travel ban across Borno and neighbouring Yobe state to last through the Eid holiday to guard against insurgent attacks.
But the measure is almost impossible to enforce in the remote region, where analysts say the army does not have enough troops on the ground to patrol a vast area with a terrible road network and poor mobile phone coverage.

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Tuesday convicted three persons for participating in acts of terrorism and being members of   the outlawed Boko Haram sect.

The convicts - Ali Mohammed, Adamu Karumi and Ibrahim Usman - will collectively spend 75 years in jail.

The trio were among the 17 suspected insurgents arraigned before Justice Buba on   eight counts of conspiracy to commit terrorism, illegal possession of firearms and being members of the violent sect.

Arraigned along with them but discharged   before the conclusion of the   trial were   Bala Haruna, Idris Ali, Mohammed Murtala, Kadiri Mohammed, Mustapha Daura, Abba Duguri and Sanni Adamu.

Others were Danjuma Yahaya,   Musa Audu,   Mati Daura, Farouk Haruna, Abdullahi Azeez, Ibrahim Bukar and Zula Diani.

Efforts by one of our correspondents to find out the reason for their discharge yielded no result because the trial had since it started in November 2013 and ended on Tuesday was in secret.

It was gathered that the Attorney-General of Lagos State and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, had, by nolle prosequi, discontinued criminal proceedings against some of the accused, hence   their discharge .

On Tuesday only Muhammed, Karumi, Usman and Haruna were brought before Justice Ibrahim Buba for judgment.

The judgment was also delivered in camera but a source who witnessed the proceedings later gave journalists the facts   on condition of anonymity.

He said that before delivering the judgment,   Buba   ordered journalists, litigants and lawyers in other matters to vacate the courtroom.

The judge, who had earlier announced that the judgment would be given at 12pm, first sought the views of the lawyers on the position of   law on   giving the verdict in the open court or in camera.

The Lagos State Director of the Public Prosecutions, Mrs. Idowu Alakija, according to the source, had responded by saying that since the trial was conducted in camera for security reasons, judgment should also be given in the same manner.

But Buba, who said that even judges learn every day, insisted that he would like to know what the law stipulates about giving judgment in camera and how his colleagues in Abuja normally handle such cases.

Saying that he would like to do a short research on the subject, he rose at about 11.30am with a promise to return by 12pm.

At the resumed hearing at 12pm, the judge again asked the parties to address him on the legality of giving judgment in camera.

Ipaye responded by saying that if the trial was conducted in secret, the judgment should also be delivered in secret .

The legal team of the defence maintained the same position.

Buba subsequently ordered everyone, except the parties and the security operatives, to vacate the courtroom .

Journalists had approached the Deputy Chief Registrar and the Administrative Head of the Court, Mr. Bello Okandeji, to complain of their being barred from hearing the verdict .

Okandeji then led journalists to the court but security men   told the DCR that they had specific instructions not to allow anyone in.

Mohammed, Karumi and Usman were tried on offences bordering on terrorism said to have been committed on March 21, at Plot 5, Road 69, Lekki Phase I Housing Estate, and No. 24, Oyegbeni St., Ijora-Oloye, Apapa-Iganmu, Lagos.

They were said to have been caught in possession of three packets of explosive construction pipes, 15 detonators, and 11 AK47 rifles with 30 rounds of live ammunition.

The other items said to have been found in their possession were 200 rounds of 7.6 milimetres of live ammunition, two suitcases containing explosives, and a water container filled with explosives.

According to the prosecution, the offences contravened the provisions of Sections 13(2) and 17(b) of the Terrorism Act 2013 as well as Sections 1, 8, 27 (1) (a) and (b) of the Firearms (special provisions) Act, Cap F28, Laws of the Federation, 2004.

 

Military devises new strategy to halt   B’Haram’s expansionist drive

Meanwhile, the military   has evolved a new strategy of restricting Boko Haram insurgents to the areas they   captured in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.

A   source said the military was aware of the insurgents’ plan   to use old people and children in their captured territories as human shields.

He said, “At the moment,   the strategy we have evolved is keeping them at bay and curtailing their expansion plan. We have pushed them back so many times in the last two weeks and this has made their expansion moves impossible.”

“If this had not been done, the insurgents would have added other towns to the already captured ones but now is like we have drawn circles round them and it is difficult for them to venture out. We are only waiting for the right time to take them on but at present we are involved in aerial   bombardment of their strongholds.”

A civil rights organisation, Citizens Arise Movement of Nigeria, has however given the Federal Government a 14-day ultimatum to set up a panel to investigate the alleged involvement of a former Chief of Army Staff, Patrick Ihejirika, and ex- Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Modu Sheriff, in the sponsorship of Boko Haram.

CAMON, who also sought amnesty for the 12 convicted soldiers,     threatened to commence a   nationwide protest if the government failed to meet the deadline.

The organisation said that the Australian negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davis, and the Australian government should be invited to unravel the truth about those financing the terror group.

The Convener of CAMON and former member of the House of Representatives, Dino Melaye,   stated these during a news conference and public presentation of the group   in Abuja on Tuesday.

CAMON made 22 demands from the Federal Government, including opening up on the $9.3m seized by the South African authorities.

Melaye said, “We declare that if within the next 14 days, the Federal Government fails to respond appropriately to our demands, we shall commence and inspire nationwide protests which shall continue until our demands are met.”
