Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Mr. Dino Melaye, has been denied bail in the case of an alleged conspiracy and aiding of jailbreak.

The lawmaker was brought to court in a police ambulance around 9:17 am. However, before his arrival, heavily armed policemen took positions within and outside the court premises.



Immediately after the case commenced, the prosecution, Alex Isihon, stated said the court did not have the jurisdiction to handle the case.

But counsel for Senator Dino Melaye, Mike Ozekhome, in his submission argued that the court had the powers by virtue of the Constitution to try the case. He quoted Section 60 of the Penal Code which stated that the offence of conspiracy is bailable according to the Kogi State Administration of Criminal Justice.



After a short recess, Chief Magistrate Suleiman Abdulahi denied Melaye bail and ruled that he should remain in custody for the next 39 days.

The case was then adjourned until June 11, 2018.

There is hope for lung cancer sufferers worldwide. A breakthrough research has found that the use of two existing drugs could successfully treat the disease. The study delves deep into the molecular survival kit of lung cancer.

Many cancer deaths are driven by the KRAS oncogene. KRAS is an essential gene, but in its mutant form, it is an important step in the generation of many types of cancer.

For over 30 years, the KRAS oncogene has been a focus of research. Finding a way to remove its teeth would be pivotal in the treatment of a range of cancers.

As part of this effort, rather than targeting the gene directly, some scientists have focused on pathways that are related to the errant gene.

One pathway of interest centres on insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This pathway helps to regulate the uptake of nutrients into the cell, providing it with the energy and raw ingredients it needs to grow

If the tumour cell’s fuel supply could be severed, its onward march might be halted. However, it is not clear whether KRAS oncogenes are reliant on this particular pathway, and, in clinical trials, results have not been encouraging.

In fact, one study in mice found that lung tumours actually became more aggressive after the pathway was suppressed......... help a lung tumor patient, get drugs now>>>https://newsafriq.com/2018/04/scientist-discovers-two-drugs-terminate-lung-cancer/,

The police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, said the IG had directed Assistant Inspectors-General of Police in charge of zonal commands and Commissioners of Police nationwide to be on the ground to supervise and implement robust security arrangements and massive deployment of police personnel throughout the country for crime prevention and control.

It added that the personnel would be deployed in places of worship, recreation centres, and other public places and facilities.

“Consistent surveillance, intelligence gathering and continuous raid of criminal hideouts, black spots, flash/vulnerable points are already ongoing and will be sustained throughout the period.

“Vehicular and foot patrols and adequate visibility policing will also be embarked upon to guarantee safety of lives and property throughout the period,” the police stated.

The force urged the public to cooperate with the personnel of the Police Highway Teams, the Special Anti-robbery Squads and other police units deployed to prevent crime on the highways and major roads across the country.

Also, the Federal Road Safety Corps in Plateau State would be deploying 900 personnel to man the roads during the Easter celebration, the Sector Commander, Patricia Emeordi, has said.

According to her, the command has stationed eight patrol vehicles and two ambulances for emergencies on the roads.

She also advised road users to obey traffic rules and regulations, especially in the area of over loading of vehicles with goods and passengers, insisting that they should avoid night journeys and shun speeding during the period.

Ugandan authorities have shut down 23 radio stations for “promoting witchcraft’’ and trying to con people out of money.

The stations’ licencses were suspended after they had guests on air who claimed they could heal diseases like HIV, Pamela Ankunda, the Uganda Communications Commission spokesperson, told dpa on Wednesday.


“The radios have been promoting witchcraft. People claimed on these radios to cure diseases like AIDS and cancer,’’ she said.

“These people have been fraudulently getting money from the public,’’ she added.

“Their operations and licences have been suspended until they are able to assure the commission through writing that they will abide by the minimum broadcasting standards,’’ Ankunda said.


She said that Uganda has 292 radio stations, mostly privately-owned.

It is not uncommon for various religious leaders, self-proclaimed prophets and traditional healers in Africa to claim being able to cure HIV and other incurable diseases............ https://newsafriq.com/2018/03/government-closed-23-radio-stations-promoting-witchcraft/

The Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Maikanti Baru, has lamented the incessant vandalism of the Aba-Enugu products’ pipeline, which has suffered about 700 breaches.

According to him, this has hampered efficient supply and distribution of petroleum products not only in Enugu State, but in the entire South-East, and partly in the North-Central and North-East.

Baru stated this when he paid a courtesy call on the Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, at the Government House in Enugu, according to a statement issued on Sunday by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC, Ndu Ughamadu.

The NNPC boss explained that even after the Aba-Enugu pipeline was repaired, it still had to be shut down as the corporation was hardly getting up to 50 per cent of the products pumped through it...... https://newsafriq.com/2018/03/abia-ebonyi-enugu-state-pipeline-breaches-affects-petroleum-supply-nnpc/

Constantin Reliu, 63, had the shock of his life when he was told that he was, in actual fact, dead.

According to Metro UK, the man’s wife had registered his death in 2016 after he didn’t return to Romania from Turkey where he had worked as a chef for more than 20 years.

He has since been living a legalistic nightmare of trying to prove to authorities that he is alive.

He faced a major setback recently when a court refused to overturn his death certificate because his request was filed ‘too late.’

The decision, the court said, is final.

A disappointed Reliu said, “I am a living ghost...... See photos of him here>>>https://newsafriq.com/2018/03/court-refuse-overturn-death-certificate-living-man/

Buhari said, “The security services have since been directed to put in place further measures around all schools vulnerable to attacks to ensure the safety of our pupils/students and teachers and school workers.

“I have tasked all the security agencies to work to ensure that we do not witness any recurrence of these incidents.

“Security chiefs have been warned in clear terms that any lapse on their parts will be viewed seriously,” he said.

“As for those who he referred to as ‘politicising the security situation in the country, desist or face the wrath of security agencies.’

“May I also warn against those elements who have chosen to make political fortune of our citizens’ misfortune....... https://newsafriq.com/2018/03/ill-punish-security-chiefs-another-abduction-occur-buhari-warns/

A Cross River State High Court sitting in Calabar on Wednesday sentenced a retired worker of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Godwin Elewana, to death by hanging.

The court found Elewana guilty of the murder of a 22-year-old pupil, Douglas Ojugbo, on March 10, 2015 over suspicion that the victim was having an affair with his daughter, Mercy.

Elewana, who had been in prison custody since 2016, was arraigned on one count of murder in case no. HC/9C/2015.

The presiding judge of the court, Justice Ukpa Ebitam, said the prosecution team, led by Mr. Eneji Amajama, a Deputy Director in the Department of Public Prosecutions in the state Ministry of Justice, proved its case that the accused committed the crime.

Ebitam listed the several confessional statements, hospital reports and other exhibits presented in the course of trial as reasons the accused was convicted.

He said, “The prosecution team was able to establish ingredients of murder against the accused. On whether it was the act of the accused that caused the death of the victim, the prosecution team placed reliance mostly on the confessional statement of the accused…clearly, the statement linked the murder to the accused.

“The prosecution team also proved the second ingredient of murder which was the intentional act. To have fired the victim twice with his pump-action gun, I agree that the killing was intentional. I hereby find the accused person guilty of murder.

“Subject to Section 319 of the Criminal Code of Cross River State, any person who commits murder is sentenced to death by hanging.”

Moments before the verdict was given, the defence counsel, Mr. Clement Ukaegbu, had pleaded for leniency............ https://newsafriq.com/2018/03/nnpc-ex-staff-sentenced-death-murder-daughters-boyfriend/ Read More with photos

Barcelona’s attacking midfielder lost in three straight finals – two Copa America and the 2014 World Cup – in a three-year span and has not won a trophy with the senior team.

Messi and his teammates have gotten a strained relationship with the Argentine media, feeling unfairly criticised.

He told La Cornisa TV that, “It’s just the feeling that this group of players has. It seems that having reached three straight finals didn’t mean anything.

The governors of Benue, Ekiti, and Taraba states, which are currently implementing anti-grazing laws in their states, have said the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has no right to direct them on how to make the legislation work.

The IG had, last week, advised state governors to establish cattle ranches before implementing anti-grazing laws to avert conflict between farmers and herdsmen.

Governors Samuel Ortom (Benue); Ayodele Fayose (Ekiti) and Darius Ishaku (Taraba) asked Idris to implement the law instead of giving them lectures on how to pacify the herdsmen.

Ekiti won’t provide ranches for herdsmen – Fayose

Fayose, who is the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, specifically said the IG had no power to order state governors around.

He also said the IG was under an obligation to obey and ensure compliance with laws made by any state’s House of Assembly.

The governor, who spoke through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, insisted that the state would not heed the advice of the police chief.

He said, “The Inspector-General of Police has no choice than to obey the laws made by any state. It is the duty of the police to enforce the law. Cattle rearing is regarded as a private business and it is not the duty of the governors to provide land for the herders.

“The real cattle owners are rich people who can afford land; they are not the nomads you see following cattle from the North to the South...............
