Politics › Bomb Factory Discovered In Kano, Eyed Havoc At Sallah, Xmas by Tolexander(op): 5:51am On Oct 10, 2013 |
A combined Joint Task Force (JTF) and Directorate of State Security Services in Kano on Monday uncovered a bomb factory where sophisticated bombs and other dangerous equipment were being made with a view to using them to wreak havoc during the Eid –El Kabir and Xmas celebrations.
One man was killed in the property, in Gunduwawa village, in the Gezawa Local Government Area of the city. He was said to be the son of the owner of the building.
Speaking with journalists in the city today, the Third Brigade commander, Brigadier General, Ilyasu Abba, confirmed that the man was killed during the operation because he was found inside the building between 2-3 am when the raid took place.
The commander said that when the combined team stormed the area it killed one of the terrorists. He was discovered to be the son of the owner of the house, and had allegedly rented out the building without the knowledge of his father.
He said the festive period could have been a disaster if the huge amount of weapons was not discovered.
Amongst the dangerous weapons already made in the Boko Haram terrorist hideout were 193 rounds of 5.3mm ammunition, one AK 47 magazine, 107 rounds of 7.6mm special ammunition and weapons, working tools and materials used for making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
According to Brig. General Abba, other material found include three primed cylinders of IEDs, one primed explosive suicide back pack;18 empty IEDs cylinders, 24 detonators, small bags of fertilizer, IEDs timers, cortex wires, and three remote control devices.
Others were five Motorola hand-held radios, four communicators, six alarm clocks, three cartons of 8-volt batteries, one external hard drive and one heavy duty charger/battery.
He further stated that the raid, which followed intelligence reports, made no arrests as the terrorists fled the village on approach of the JTF troops and DSS, adding that the need to avoid killing innocent people made the team not to attack them with maximum force.
Corroborating the remarks of Brig Gen Abba, the state DSS Bassy Etang said the son of the owner of the house who was killed was at the scene of the incident at a very odd hour, and that he must be one of the Boko Haram members since he was among those that gave out the building for rent without the knowledge of his father.
While commending the general public for their unflinching support and useful information being given to the security operatives, the state DSS director assured the public that information given would be treated with confidentiality.
He noted that without the necessary information from member of the public the authorities would have not succeeded in tracking the terrorists.
The director who disclosed that the very house where the Boko Haram members were uncovered has been demolished in line with security regulations, recalled that landlords have been warned several times to be wary of who they who they rent their buildings to.. http://saharareporters.com/news-page/another-bomb-factory-discovered-kano-eyed-havoc-sallah-xmas-one-%E2%80%98terrorist%E2%80%99-killed |

I challenge that individual to read Lewis' profile and his book and get inspired to pursue his dream. Lewis is half British and half South african he gave up a promising law career to pursue his passion of exploring and impacting the world.
I am waiting for the day someone will do the unthinkable to bring the world attention to the ills of our society and dear country Nigeria...
I am waiting! why waiting when you are capable of doing it. The whole world is expecting the boldened from you. You can do it! |

Literature › Tade Ipadeola Wins 2013 Nigeria Prize For Literature by Tolexander(op): 5:41pm On Oct 09, 2013 |
The race for the 2013 edition of the prestigious Nigeria Prize for Literature, sponsored by the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG), which kicked off February, 2013, came to a positive conclusion Wednesday with The Sahara Testament authored by Tade Ipadeola, emerging winner.
The Ibadan based legal practitioner and poet,Tade Ipadeola who was born in 1970 has published three volumes of poetry-A Time of Signs (2000) and The Rain Fardel (2005). His short stories and essays have also been published in diverse media. In 2009, he won the Delphic Laurel in Poetry with his poem “Songbird” in Jeju, South Korea.
His third volume of poetry which is the Award winning collection of poetry, The Sahara Testaments-a sequence of 1000 quatrains on the nuances of the Sahara, is his latest work. The book was published by Hornbill House of the Arts, Lagos.
The Panel of Judges led by its Chairman, Prof. Romanus Egudu adjudged The Sahara Testament the winning entry for the biggest literary prize in Africa which comes with $100,000 cash prize because “it is a remarkable epic covering the terrain and people of Africa from the very dawn of creation, through the present, to the future.
The text it was explained, “uses the Sahara as a metonymy for problems of Africa and indeed, the whole of humanity. It also contains potent rhetoric and satire on topical issues and personalities, ranging from Africa’s blood diamonds and inflation in Nigeria…” It was also noted that “Ipadeola’s use of poetic language demonstrates a striking marriage of thought and verbal artistry expressed in the blending of sound and sense.”
Ipadeola’s work beat two other stiff contenders who made the final three; Ogochukwu Promise and Chidi Amu Nnadi to clinch the Prize. Tade Ipadeola
Announcing the winning poet and collection at a world press conference held at the Coral Hall of the Ocean View Restaurant in Victoria Island, Lagos, the NLNG General Manager, External Relations, Kudo Eresia Eke, pointed out that it was in pursuant of excellence that his organisation is sponsoring the coveted Prize, so as to galvanise Nigeria to have more respectable people in the area of literature, for a better Nigeria.
In his opening remarks, Kudo Eresia Eke, had earlier noted that the NLNG by “sponsoring excellence will galvanize our country to be more reverential of excellence. We will also inspire other corporate organizations to do the same.” With this feat, Tade Ipadeola has joined the league of past NLNG Prize winner, a prize that rotates annually around four genres: poetry, prose, drama and children’s literature.
Reacting to his win, an excited Tade Ipadeola said “this is joyful news, joyful news. This is the biggest prize in Africa and it is surreal. I am grateful.”
It will be recalled that out of the 201 entries initially received for the prize which were first whittled down to the long list of 11, two female poets, debutante Iquo Diana Eke and veteran Promise Ogochukwu were on the list. There was also a strong showing from writers in the diaspora like Afam Akeh, Obi Nwakanma and Amatoritsero Ede.
Last year’s prize was won by Belgium based Chika Unigwe for her novel On Black Sisters Street making her the first foreign based Nigerian writer to win the prize.
With Ipadeola’s feat, the controversies of 2009 when the Panel of Judges decided that non of the contenders was worthy of the Prize for Poetry, have been laid to rest. As it is customary, Ipadeola will be presented to the public at a date which will be announced by NLNG.
In attendance at the conference were Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board, Dr. Jerry Agada, Chairman of the Panel of Judges, Professor Romanus Egudu who were supported by other members of the advisory board and judges; Professors Elugbe, Ogundipe Molara Leslie and Dr. Andrew Aba as well as Professor Kofi Anyidoho who served as this year’s International consultant to the advisory board. Kaine Agary, winner of the Prize in 2008, was also in attendance. orisun 3 Likes |
