Six persons died when a storey building was engulfed in fire in Jos in the early hours of Saturday.

The fire was said to have started at about 2am shortly after power supply was restored to the area following an outage.


The victims – a woman, her three children, who are between the ages of one and six years; sister and maid – were believed to have been suffocated by the smoke of the inferno while they were fast asleep.

Residents of the area believed that the fire might have started from an electric surge and likely to have been aided by a gas cylinder, which exploded after the fire started.

The decision of the Adamawa state governor, Bala Ngilari to buy two Lexus SUVs for N180million, about $900,000 and two Hilux pick up vans at N400million have triggered outrage from members of the state House of Assembly.

On Wednesday, the members passed a resolution calling on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to probe the purchases.

The House, now split into factions, further called on the state government to re-instate the sacked Director General of the state Public Procurement Bureau, Malam Bello Umar, who it said was sacked by the executive for querying the purchase and for not following due process.

At its plenary presided over by the Speaker, Ahmadu Fintiri, the House also recommended a national honour for Umar for querying the purchase and other executive excesses that cost his sack.

As the Nigerian military says it rescued 293 girls and women from Sambisa forest, the elders in Borno say they need evidence and pictures of the rescued captives. Speaking to Reuters, Borno Elders Forum said via it's spokesman Bulama Mali Gubio

“If the soldiers have indeed rescued 200 girls and 93 women then they should show them. When [Abubakar] Shekau kidnapped the Chibok girls he released video footage for everyone to see — this is the age of modern technology. Whether these are the same girls or not, people will be skeptical until they see their pictures on the news.”

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria has ordered the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to pay tthe All progressive Congress Party (APC) 500 million naira as damages for unlawfully banning the party’s presidential campaign fundraising platform.

Justice Ibrahim Buba in his verdict while delivering judgment in the suit filed by the party against NCC and five others Etisalat, MTN Nigeria Limited, Globacom Limited, Airtel Nigeria Limited and Visafone Communications Limited declared that APC was protected by the constitution to push for the enforcement of its fundamental right once violated, thereafter threw out NCC’s counter-affidavit and ruled that the action of respondents were illegal and unconstitutional.

The damages were going to be pay jointly and severally by all the respondents the Judge asserted.

The political party had sued the commission, demanding N25 billion as damages, for allegedly banning its presidential campaign fund-raising platform.

APC accused the NCC of instructing the 2nd to 6th respondents to discontinue any SMS platform it created for the purpose of getting donations from willing members of the public for its presidential campaign party claimed to have initiated the participatory fund-raising platform as a way of getting members of the general public to contribute N100 to its presidential campaign fund each time they sent APC as an SMS to 35350.

But it claimed that NCC, by a letter dated January 19, 2015, instructed the other respondents to shut down the platform, warning them “to avoid running political advertisement/promotions that will portray them as being partisan.”

The commission had also threatened to sanction any of the telecommunications service providers which failed to comply with the order.

But APC considered the NCC’s instruction and the consequent shutting down of its fund-raising platform as both discriminatory and an infringement on its fundamental right protected by Section 39 of the Constitution and Articles 9 (1) (2) and 19 of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap. A9, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

It argued that the NCC did not give the same instruction to the other respondents when the Peoples Democratic Party set up the short codes designated: 6661, 662, 6663 and 6664, being managed by one Wagitel Communications Limited to raise funds for the campaign of President Goodluck Jonathan and his vice President, Namadi Sambo, in 2010.
