But under this administration, Money can grow wings


This is dilema , i can side FFK or the Idiot chiefs

Oh and please it's impossible NOT TO PAY RANSOM and have the children released

FFK could be a talkative but how can the kidnappers just release over 300 kids just like that without a ransom or a demand for something else

Even a kid wouldn't believe that.

How Security Chiefs, Others Shared Kankara Students Ransom –Femi Fani-Kayode



How Security Chiefs, Others Shared Kankara Students Ransom | E-nigeria!
Kankara students meeting Buhari




A former minister of Aviation in Nigeria, Femi Fani-Kayode has released fresh allegation revealing how some Security Chiefs and top government officials allegedly shared the ransom paid to secure the release of over 300 GSS Kankara students in Kastina State among themselves.

According to Mr. Fani-Kayode, a ransom of about N4million pounds was paid, along with the release of three top Boko Haram Commanders in exchange for the release of the Kankara GSS students.

“The “kidnap” was a well-orchestrated scam to make money?

4 million pounds was paid in return for the “kidnapped” students and the release of three Boko Haram commanders?

The money was shared between the terrorists, some security chiefs and some senior Government officials?

Can all this be true?: He wrote via his verified Facebook page.

Fani-Kayode’s allegation is coming on the heels of another reported abduction of several students of Islamiyya school in Mahuta town, Dandume Local Government Area of Katsina State shortly after the release of the GSS Kankara students SEE IT HERE

Femi Fani-Kayode a known critic of the Buhari led administration also went ahead to knock the president on his choice of addressing the released Kankara students in Hausa language in the stead of English which is Nigeria’s lingua franca.

“You addressed the Kankara students at a public gathering in front of the nations media in Hausa rather than English.

May I remind Mr. President that English is the lingua franca of Nigeria and not Hausa and that those kids are NIGERIAN children and not just Hausa Fulani children.

Millions from all over the country, including the South, prayed for their release and they also deserved to understand what you said to the kids when you met them.

If you want Nigeria to remain one then treat us all as equals. If you do not then carry on with what you are doing.

Meanwhile Boko Haram abducted 35 travellers from a Borno highway yesterday whilst ANOTHER set of children were “kidnapped” by terrorists from their school in Mahuta, Dandume LGA, Katsina state last night.

This is just a day after the students that were kidnapped in Kankara were released”.

Meanwhile multiple sources from the government had earlier denied that ransom was paid to secure the release of the Kankara students, a position still being contested by many Nigerians, even on social media.

Nigeria's first family, the Buharis, are embroiled in a still-developing story resembling one of Nollywood's many Sunday-evening soap operas.

It is a story about the president purportedly taking a second wife - a female cabinet member to boot - while his wife's furious outburst hint at deeper issues. The plot was supplied by Nigeria's vibrant social media and was aided by Mrs Buhari's cryptic comments. The setting is Nigeria's presidential villa, Aso Rock.

What's all this talk about a wedding?

The wedding at the centre of the story that was largely played out on social media involves President Muhammadu Buhari, and one of his female cabinet ministers, Sadiya Farouq.

What we do know is that President Muhammadu Buhari is married to Aisha Buhari and has not said anything about taking a new wife.

Ms Farouq has not said anything either about the purported marriage.

It could easily have been dismissed as fake news and left at that, but for a comment from Mrs Buhari.

What did Aisha Buhari say?

She had been out of the country for two months with a stop in the UK for a medical check-up. Her return was taken by those following the story as a sign that she had come back to "defend her territory".

Her response when asked at the airport about the wedding did little to extinguish rumours that the president was taking another wife.

In an interview with BBC Hausa, the first lady offered confirmation, albeit in a very cryptic way, that there had indeed been plans for President Buhari to take a second wife, by referring to a "promise of marriage". She also said that the purported bride-to-be was disappointed the marriage hadn't taken place.

Mrs Buhari said: "The person that promised her marriage didn't know it wasn't going to happen. She [believed to be Ms Farouq] didn't deny the marriage until the day passed."

She spoke entirely in Hausa, measuring her words and mentioning no names. But it was clear from the interview that Mrs Buhari was upset that Ms Farouq hadn't publicly denied rumours of the marriage.

To further complicate matters, the minister's Twitter account denied commenting on the rumours, rebutting claims made by a fake account in her name that had actually denied the story.

The minister's account tweeted: "It has come to my attention that a fake Twitter account @Sadiya_farouq_ has been created in my name.

"I wish to inform my followers and well-meaning Nigerians to disregard the handle and any information posted on it. My official Twitter handle remains @Sadiya_farouq".


Sadiya Umar Farouq @Sadiya_farouq

It has come to my attention that a fake Twitter account @Sadiya_farouq_ has been created in my name. I wish to inform my followers and well meaning Nigerians to disregard the handle and any information posted on it.
My official Twitter handle remains @Sadiya_farouq
Thank you

Some say she missed an opportunity to quash the rumours with a firm denial.

So who is Sadiya Farouq?

At 45 years of age, she is one of the younger ministers in Mr Buhari's cabinet and heads the newly created Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management & Social Development.

Little was known of her before she was appointed by Mr Buhari in August to lead the newly created ministry. The ministry's creation and her appointment came as a surprise to many, but those who know her say she's been a staunch supporter of the president for decades.

She was head of the country's National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and was a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, where she was in charge of election planning and monitoring, field operations, and fund raising.

So was there a wedding?

No.

The wedding was supposed to have been planned last Friday, 11 October, but the Twitter account of Sadiya Farouq showed she was far away in the Swiss city of Geneva from Thursday, leading Nigeria's delegation at a meeting of the United Nations refugees agency.

She did not return to Nigeria until Tuesday, based on what she posted on the same account.

But that didn't deter Nigeria's social media users, especially on Twitter, from providing the guest list, a venue and entertainment.

And what's all this about a family feud?

A sub-plot to the fake wedding story is the strained relations between different members of the wider Buhari family.

We now know, courtesy of that BBC Hausa interview, that a viral video that circulated on social media of Aisha Buhari in an angry outburst was genuine. She confirmed the authenticity of the video which she said was recorded by a relative of the president who lives in Aso Rock, some time in 2018.

Mrs Buhari says the video was filmed by Fatima Daura, daughter of Mamman Daura. He is Mr Buhari's nephew and has been a close associate of the president. He holds no official position in the government but is widely believed to wield huge influence over the government.

He was even given an apartment - the Glass House - in the presidential villa that was the scene of the outburst in the video.

According to Mrs Buhari: "They shot the video in front of my security and everybody there. She [Fatima Daura] was actually recording the whole thing right in front of me and was laughing and mocking me.

"They did that because my husband sacked them from the house. He told them to get all their belongings and leave the house for my son [Yusuf] to occupy.

Fatima Daura has responded to Mrs Buhari's interview, saying: "If one reasons well, he or she will understand that it is not possible to say that the wife of the president is denied access to her apartment."

Nigeria's presidency is yet to say anything about the video but on Wednesday, Mrs Buhari later posted an apology on Instagram, saying: "I use the opportunity to apologise for the embarrassment I might have caused my children, my immediate family members, well meaning Nigerians and the institution I represent, on the circulated leaked video clip".

Aisha Buhari didn't say who was planning the marriage, but it is clear she knows who it was. Some people are speculating that her willingness to confirm the authenticity of a video from 2018, in which she mentioned Mamman Daura and his daughter Fatima, was another cryptic message.

Ms Daura denies that a wedding was being planned, telling BBC Hausa that both her father and the president are "monogamists". She also said that "the kind of power and influence that is being ascribed to my father is only attributable to God".

So is a wedding still on the cards?

That would depend on if it was ever on the cards in the first place.

If people were planning it, they might not have altogether abandoned those plans.

If there's anyone who would know the signs of a new marriage in the making, then it's Mrs Buhari. She married the president after he divorced his first wife in 1988. The president is known as a monogamist but as a Muslim, he is allowed to take up to four wives.

Mrs Buhari was clearly referring to Ms Farouq as the intended bride in the BBC Hausa interview and the fact that neither the minister or the president have said anything about the rumoured marriage has many wondering if, like a true Nollywood soap, this story might have a sequel.

Hackers were able to remotely install surveillance software on phones and other devices using a major vulnerability in messaging app WhatsApp, it has been confirmed.

WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, said the attack targeted a "select number" of users and was orchestrated by "an advanced cyber-actor".

A fix was rolled out on Friday.

On Monday, WhatsApp urged all of its 1.5 billion users to update their apps as an added precaution.

The surveillance software involved was developed by Israeli firm NSO Group, according to a report in the Financial Times.

Facebook first discovered the flaw in WhatsApp earlier in May.

WhatsApp promotes itself as a "secure" communications app because messages are end-to-end encrypted, meaning they should only be displayed in a legible form on the sender or recipient's device.

However, the surveillance software would have let an attacker read the messages on the target's device.

Some users of the app have questioned why the app store notes associated with the latest update are not explicit about the fix.

"Journalists, lawyers, activists and human rights defenders" are most likely to have been targeted, said Ahmed Zidan from the non-profit Committee to Protect Journalists.

At least 13 people have died and many were injured when a wall collapsed in South Africa at the start of an Easter service at a Pentecostal church.

Emergency services said that 29 people were rushed to hospital after the collapse in the coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal.

Local officials have blamed the tragedy on heavy rainfall in the area around eMpangeni on Thursday night.

Local reports said some people had been sleeping when the brick wall fell.

The wall at the front of the Pentecostal Holiness Church collapsed at the start of what had been planned as a weekend-long service to commemorate the Christian festival of Easter.

On Friday, a special prayer service was held in a large tent in front of the church, reports the eNCA TV station.

President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the church last year and some of the congregants reportedly asked for his support to build a new church.

Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant is a member of the church and was planning to attend the Good Friday service there.

She has arrived at the scene and said: "Even at this difficult time, we still need to trust in God."

Local official Lennox Mabaso told SABC news that the church "a solid structure".

"It is an act of nature. It is an act of God. Not even a president could have been able to save this particular situation," he said.

"It was a heavy storm that affected this area."

A suspected robber shocked so many in the court in Machakos County of Kenya after he requested that the Police refund him the bribe which they collected from him after they initially agreed to quell the case.

According to the Daily Nation, Mutinda Kilonzo revealed to the court that he was escorted by police officers to the bank where he withdrew an amount of Sh200,000 and paid to them to fulfill his part of the agreement aimed at his release.

Mutinda Kilonzo is quoted as having told Kithimani Senior Resident Magistrate, Gilbert Shikwe that:

“I was escorted from the police station to KCB Matuu branch in a police vehicle and taken back to custody after withdrawing Sh200,000, which was to be shared between the police officers and the complainant to settle the case and get me freed.”

To prove that he was telling the truth, the suspect reportedly presented a bank slip to the court indicating that he had indeed withdrawn the money on March 8 at 15:59pm.

Records at the Matuu Police Station gave credence to the suspect’s claim as documents showed that he was arrested on the night of March 7 and booked in under reference number OB3/8/3/2018, at 2am.

The records indicated that on the day of the said bank withdrawal, he was still in police custody.

The suspect emphatically said:

“Your honour, now that I have been produced in court, please help me get back the Sh200,000 I gave…because it was meant to secure my freedom.”

He is being tried together with accomplices, Kelvin Mutunga, Samson Mutavi, Solomon Mutuku and Mwandikwa Sulai for robbing one businessman, Michael Matheka.

Per the charge sheet, the robbers broke into Michael Matheka’s electronic shop on different occasions between November 30, 2017 and February 17 this year, and stole goods valued at Sh350,000.

As if that was not enough, they again broke into the victim’s house and made away with five television sets, six mattresses, one motorcycle, clothes and other household goods, all worth Sh674,500.
