Leaders of Umunachi Eziagbaogu in Ezinihitte Mbaise council area of Imo state have condemned in strong terms, the mob killing of a 20-year old school leaver, Princewill Oguike Onyeocha, who was burnt to death by a rampaging mob from a neighbouring community.

Onyeocha who was washing his clothes, when he was dragged away from his father’s house to the village market square where he was set ablaze, becomes the fourth victim of the mob rage in Ezinihitte Mbaise within the last two weeks.

The mob action was precipitated by an Ezeship tussle which led to the brutal killing of the driver to an Eze-elect in the tussle, one B.B. Ohanaga.

In reprisal, the youths of Onicha Nwenkwo where the driver was killed went on rampage destroying properties and killing persons suspected or rumoured to be involved in criminal activities.

However, the killing of 20-year old Onyeocha has outraged well-meaning indigenes of Eziagbaogu community who view the killing as a crude assault on the entire community...CONTINUE: http://crimefacts.org/mob-killings-community-condemns-killing-of-20-year-old-accuse-police-of-complicity/

MORE than a year after Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha signed into law the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Bill, a portion of the law sparked protest yesterday on the streets of Owerri, the state capital. Catholics, after a two-day Pro-life International Conference organised by the Archdiocese of Owerri demanded the portion that gives a woman right to medical abortion. The portion also pitted the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Tony Anwuka, against his boss who signed the bill into law on May 29. Anwuka, who represented the governor at the conference said he was expressing his personal feeling as a “knight of St. Mulumba of the Catholic Church” The SSG faulted the inclusion of Section 40 (1) (i), which allows “right to medical abortion” by women who need it in the state. Okorocha signed the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Bill into law on May 29 after the House of Assembly passed it and sent it to the executive for assent. The Imo State of Nigeria 2012 Law No 12, Section 40 (1) (i) states as follows: “Every woman shall have the right to enjoy reproductive rights, including right to medical abortion in cases of sexual assault, rape, incest and where the continued pregnancy endangers the life or physical, mental, psychological or emotional health of the mother.” But Anwuka condemned the inclusion...CONTINUE: http://crimefacts.org/okorocha-ssg-in-conflict-over-abortion-law/

As the National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria, after about 53 years of independence, why do you think this country is like this, a country so blessed by God?

I think it is conventional wisdom to blame it on leadership. The country has been unfortunate to have very good leaders at critical juncture of the journey to nationhood. I think to some extent that is quite correct. What makes a difference between a good nation and a failed nation is, most times, the absence of strong leaders. But these strong leaders by themselves are not enough. They also need to develop strong institutions. It is these institutions that they develop that would live after them and would carry the nation forward. There has been an absence of great leaders in Nigeria. Even the institutions that were left behind by the founding fathers have mostly been destroyed. I was not too young in the 60s, for instance. Then the system worked. The institutions then worked, and were respected by everybody. I always give an example of the common entrances to secondary schools in those days...CONTINUE: http://crimefacts.org/interview-jonathan-gambled-with-ngf-election-and-lost-woefully-lai-mohammed/

President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has demanded the immediate arrest of former military ruler, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

He made the demand in a statement issued today in Abuja, the Nigerian capital. “Buhari is a big security risk to Nigeria’s cooperate existence,” Oritsejafor said in the statement issued on his behalf by his Special Assistant, Media and Public Affairs, Kenny Ashaka.

The CAN President was reacting to what he called “another divisive and inflammatory statement by Muhammadu Buhari, a retired General, former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, (CPC).”

Owerri the Imo state capital was literally shut down for over three hours earlier today (Tuesday) following an anti-gay marriage protest by catholic faithful in the state.

This, unfortunately is coming at a time when nearly half a dozen functionaries of the Imo state government are enmeshed in one gay scandal or the other, with the latest being the Imo Deputy Governor who was allegedly caught in the act by a woman who defiantly insists her claims are factual.

The protesters numbering over 700 all drawn from Catholic churches within the Owerri Archdiocese wore mournful looks as they marched the streets of Owerri.

The protesters led by the Archbishop of Owerri, Most Reverend Anthony Obinna, with over 50 catholic priests, laity, men, women, student groups and pro-life activists commenced their peaceful march from St. Mulumba Catholic Church at Wetheral road and terminated at Maria Assumpta Cathedral at Port Harcourt Road, Owerri.

Capital oil boss, Chief Ifeanyi Ubah, has formally declared his intension to contest for the Anambra State governorship election, assuring natives of the state that he would restore the pride of the state with industries, networked security system and employment to engage the youths meaningfully.

Ubah, who made the formal declaration when he hosted Ikoro, the umbrella association for all practicing Igbo journalists in the FCT, Abuja on Wednesday, lamented the spate of insecurity in the state, stressing that kidnapping had become a viable industry for the unemployed youths.

Recounting his ordeals in hands of the government of Anambra State, the oil magnate boasted that considering the lives he had touched in the state, he had no fears of winning landslide in a free and fair election, adding that he would no longer play from the sideline.

In an unprecedented move, the United States of America on Monday posted up to $23 million in rewards to help track down five leaders of militant groups accused of spreading terror in West Africa.

The highest reward of $7 million is offered for the Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who last week called on Islamists in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq to join the bloody fight to create an Islamic state in Nigeria. Shekau has a subsisting N50m bounty on his head also by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The US State Department’s Rewards for Justice Program also targeted Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), offering its first ever bounties for wanted militants in West Africa.

Up to $5 million was posted for Al-Qaeda veteran Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the one-eyed Islamist behind the devastating attack on an Algerian gas plant in January in which 37 foreigners, including three Americans, were killed.

A further $5 million was offered for top AQIM leader Yahya Abou Al-Hammam, reportedly involved in the 2010 murder of an elderly French hostage in Niger...CONTINUE: http://crimefacts.org/23m-bounty-on-boko-haram-leader-shekau-four-others-and-the-niger-drone-base-connection/

When the military was accused (rather prematurely ) of destroying the town of Baga in Borno State, the opposition in Nigeria went into over drive. They gave all kinds of figures of houses that were destroyed and blamed every destruction on the Nigerian military even though it was an established fact that the militant sect,

Jama-’a Ahl al-sunnah li-da’wa wa al-jiha-d, commonly referred to as Boko Haram, were the ones that used rocket propelled grenades which have incendiary capacity and could destroy buildings.

Of all the voices that condemned the government and the military, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd)’s voice stood out. Not only did he condemn the Nigerian military forces that took part in the defence of Baga along with troops from neighboring nations, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) called for the President to resign because of the incident saying “Jonathan should vacate and give way to competent hand to govern the country”...CONTINUE: http://crimefacts.org/on-buharis-double-standards-on-the-war-on-terrorby-reno-omokri/

Abuja residents woke up today (Monday) to see colorful Gen,Muhammed Buhari 2015 campaign posters on the platform of the yet to be registered All Progressive Congress (APC), adorning strategic parts of the federal capital territory.

The colorful posters have the picture of the retired General who is among the arrow heads of the opposition coalition in Nigeria.

The wordings of the posters were carefully chosen to convey the message that the General is the favored candidate for the presidency on the platform of the APC come 2015.

The posters were strategically pasted along the Ahmadu Bello Way, the Asokoro district, the Federal secretariat down to Maitama with the following bold messages, “2015:Here Comes The Savior For Nigeria, GEN.Muhammed Buhari (APC Consensus Candidate for 2015 presidential election)Support Buhari: The only man for the Job.”...CONTINUE: http://crimefacts.org/buharis-presidential-posters-flood-abuja/

The people of Mgbala Agwa community in Oguta council area of Imo state are utterly outraged over alleged plot by the Zone 9 Police Command, Umuahia to free two rogue police officers, Anthony Duru (AKA Associate) and Kingsley Amuga (AKA Ododo) who are notorious leaders of a criminal gang operating in Imo state.

The community’s suspicion turned into alarm when on 23rd of May,2013, the two criminal kingpins and three of their members who were scheduled to be arraigned in court in Imo state were surprising taken to Umuahia on the guise that the case has , under a superior directive, been transferred to Zone 9 Police Command, Umuahia.

Leaders of the community are presently disturbed that if the five criminals are freed like in a previous experience, the lives of the community leaders who had reported the matter would be at risk.

Through a petition dated 16 April, 2013, the Mgbal Agwa community reported that, “ On Friday, 12th April,2013, a group of notorious armed bandits who reside in Mgbala community from where they take-off for their criminal activities, sacked the entire community for three days, shooting arms of different types, wounding and maiming people, looting property, motorcycles and household items.

Forebodings were voiced Wednesday, May 29, by senior Israeli military officers in the face of the widening military intervention in the Syria civil war by Russia, Iran, Hizballah and latterly Iraq too. They have made Syria’s civil war the platform for a Russian contest against the West and a ladder up which Iran and its proxy Hizballah are climbing to top Middle East regional power spot. Russia, Iran and Hizballah are winning the contest by default against an unresisting US-led West and a hesitant Israel. A senior IDF officer acknowledged on Wednesday, May 29, that Israel’s government and military leaders are at a loss on how to proceed. They have yet to recover from the calamitous miscalculation that Bashar Assad’s days were numbered to which they clung stubbornly for almost eighteen months. Even today, some spokesmen refer to a “disintegrating Syria,” thereby losing sight of the major strategic and military changes overtaking the country that are entirely to Israel’s detriment as well as eroding its options against a nuclear Iran. At a time that the US and Israel should be using their heaviest military guns to slow Iran’s race for a nuclear bomb, Tehran with Moscow’s backing has brought its military assets up close to Israel’s borders in Syria and Lebanon and openly threatens to use them. Unlike Syria and Iran, Israel can’t count on military intervention against an aggressor by supportive big powers.

.Net Resource Transfers out of Africa Range from US$597 Billion to US$1.4 Trillion from 1980 through 2009

A new joint report by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Global Financial Integrity (GFI), launched Wednesday at the 48th AfDB Annual Meetings in Marrakech, Morocco, reveals that the African continent has been a long-term net creditor to the rest of the world. The report finds that Africa suffered between US$597 billion and US$1.4 trillion in net outflows between 1980 and 2009 after adjusting net recorded transfers for illicit financial outflows.

“The resource drain from Africa over the last 30 years—almost equivalent to Africa’s current GDP—is holding back Africa’s lift-off,” said Prof. Mthuli Ncube, Chief Economist and Vice-President of the African Development Bank.

“The traditional thinking has always been that the West is pouring money into Africa through foreign aid and other private sector flows, without receiving much in return.

The Founder of Oodua People’s Congress, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, has called for the scrapping of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.

Also civil rights activist, Bamidele Aturu while also calling for the disbandment of the NGF, described it as an ” immoral assembly”

Fasehun said the NGF lacked any democratic, nationalistic or progressive value.

In a statement on Tuesday to mark Nigeria’s Democracy Day on Wednesday, Fasehun said a lot of injustice was being done to the memories of the country’s democracy matyrs.

He said several steps being taken by politicians do not give befitting remembrance to democracy matyrs such as Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola and Major General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.

It is common knowledge that history always repeats itself. What is of concern though is whether we learn from history. With the brouhaha surrounding the recent NGF election and the Amaechi versus Jonathan imbroglio, I would wish to draw any ones attention who cares to note that there is an election by grace. And in this election, the best candidate is not always chosen. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan may not be your quintessential leader; he may not be charismatic enough but he has grace going for him. And I’ve been in this world and country long enough to know that no one fights grace and succeeds. To fight grace is to fight God. To fight grace is to tell God that his choice was not smart enough. To fight grace is to tell God he was dumb in his assessment and judgement.

The Nigeria Governors Forum is dead. A very noble idea, copied from the United States, has been sacrificed, on the altar of Nigeria’s peculiar brand of cheap and petty politics, governed by the mentality of ‘winning at all costs’, a politics that brooks no opposition to the president and that will stop at nothing to smash any opposition on the way.

Governor Godswill Akpabio and his group of governors dealt the fatal blow on the 14 year-old forum on Friday night. Yesterday, it completed the embalming and buried it. To be sure, Akpabio and co. will certainly be remembered for a long time for this.

The death of NGF was inevitable, judging by the chain of events leading to Friday’s re-election of Governor Rotimi Amaechi as the chairman.

The political fate of the North is increasingly tied to the state of security in the region, and the more complicated the situation gets, the dicier the region’s 2015 political agenda appears. If insurgency festers and spreads, the situation may even become more challenging for those pushing for the return of the presidency to the region in 2015.

In any region clouded by insurgency, especially one with international dimension, the voting population is mostly disoriented, families are largely dislocated and enthusiasm for election is always low. In many cases, residents of war-ravaged areas are likely to be interested in rebuilding their lives and reviving their ruined economies rather than doing anything else.

The two Islamist terrorists who hacked a British soldier to death on a London street Wednesday, May 22, chanting Allahu Akbar, were born in Britain of Nigerian descent and known to British security authorities. Motivated by revenge for Muslim deaths in Afghanistan, they selected as their victim a soldier from the Woolwich barracks who had served there. One of the terrorists was identified as Michael Adebolajo, 28, a convert to Islam and self-styled Muslim preacher from a street stand, from which he handed out leaflets condemning the British government and troops fighting in Muslim lands.
His stand was located in the Southeastern London suburb of Woolwich, not far from the Royal Artillery barracks near which he committed his savage murder.
