Nobody Had Hatred For Fulani Herdsmen Until Some Of Them Started Killing Innocent People- CAN President

Reverend Samson Ayokunle, the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has said that the ''hatred'' the Fulani herdsmen suffer now from Nigerians began when some elements in their group became violent and started killing people.

Ayokunle said this when he spoke at a press conference organised by the Christian body in Abuja on Thursday July 18th.

According to Ayokunle, prior to this present times, herdsmen lived peacefully in members of other communities they took their cattle to graze in and even went as far as marrying in some of these communities.

He noted that people began to see them in a different light when they started killing ''innocent'' people.

The clergyman stated that the only way herdsmen can regain the trust Nigerians had for them is to call themselves to order and stop being violent and killing people.

“If there was any enemy for any Fulani man, the Fulani man created the enemy for himself. They have been living peacefully for many years in our various communities, till the killing issues started. In those days, our children married them, they married our children, but when they became too violent and started carrying AK-47, killing people, what type of play is that? That’s a dangerous play.

We can no longer think we are friends with that type of play. It’s too dangerous. So let them call their people to order and ensure that they remove the enmity they have created around an average Fulani person.” he said

Ohue was said to have used an iron to inflict injuries on the 14-year-old boy at their 9, Fatade Street, Isolo home on Wednesday night.

Neighbours said they were shocked when they saw the boy running out of the house with blood all over his body.

It was gathered that the man was enraged when he couldn’t five his N500 and he accused the boy of stealing it.

A woman, who gave her name as Funke Ogunbiyi, said the incident occurred around 8pm, adding that another neighbour, who attempted to intervene, received punches from the angry dad.

Ogunbiyi said: “I was hearing noise outside, so I went out to know what was happening. There was commotion in the house opposite ours. Suddenly, I just saw the boy running out. He was covered with blood.

“I heard the father used an iron to hit the boy on his head. In the course of settling the issue, my neighbour received punches from the boy’s father.

“After the fight, we saw some uniformed men, who came to pick the father. The boy’s mother was said to have come to take him away.”

It was gathered that the Child Protection Network (CPN) learnt of the assault and reported same at Okota Police Station where the suspect was detained.

An anti-human trafficking group, the Salvation Army, yesterday raised the alarm over an alleged assault of two Beninoise teenagers by a police inspector identified as Rosaline Olabisi, who was attached to Badagry Division.

Olabisi, according to Adeola Oloke, who handled the case for the group, committed the alleged offence on May 28.

He said the matter was reported at the Seme Border Police Post and moved to the Gender Office, Ikeja on May 29.

“We have not heard anything since May 29 that the case was moved to Ikeja. The inspector claimed that the children were her daughters, but they publicly denied her. The children said they were from Benin Republic.

“She was charged with abduction of the children, but we do not know what happened anymore. We are concerned and want to know where the children are. We want to know if they have been reunited with their families in Benin Republic.”

Efforts to get police spokesman Bala Elkana, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP), to comment on the issues were not successful last night.

An Ibadan Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Iwo-Road on Thursday ordered that a 37-year-old night guard, Wasiu Orilonise, be remanded in Agodi , Ibadan Prison custody after confessing, and telling the court that he raped his 15-year-old daughter in an attempt to protect her.

The accused was arraigned on a one-count charge of having carnal knowledge of his daughter, with Charge‎ No. Mi/271c/2019

The prosecutor, Mr. Sunday Ogunremi, told the court that the accused, in December 2018, at Omo Village, Agbofieti, Ibadan, in the Ibadan magisterial district, did rape one Orilonise Adenike without her consent.

Ogunremi‎ said the offence was contrary to and punishable under Section 34, Subsections 1 and 2 of the Child Rights Law of Oyo State of Nigeria, 2006.

No plea was‎ however taken during the arraignment.

When the Chief Magistrate, Mr Taiwo Olaniran, sought to know from the accused what could have pushed him into defiling his biological daughter, Orilonise said that since he lost his wife a few years ago, he had been taken care of Adenike and others siblings.

He further told the court that he committed the act in an attempt to protect his daughter.


Orilonise said that the incident happened as he was trying to ascertain if Adenike had lost her virginity, adding that upon discovering that his daughter was still intact, he started having sex regularly with her both in the morning before she leaves for school and at night.

‎The magistrate berated fathers who were fond of sexually abusing their daughters and other under-aged girls, saying they were only allowing the devil to use them to destroy the society.

He thereafter ordered that the accused be remanded in Agodi Prison pending legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and adjourned the case till July 30, 2019.

Doctors in India have removed 33 objects, including razors and knives, from the stomach of a 30-year old man identified as Yogesh Thakur,

Thakur was admitted to the hospital on July 14 after he complained of severe stomach pain. His mother, Kusma Thakur, told doctors her son would 'grab anything and eat it', leading them to conduct x-rays and doctors were stunned to find objects such as a knife, screwdriver, razor blades and plastic items inside Thakur's stomach.

Doctors remove 33 objects including razor blades and a screwdriver from the stomach of a 30-year-old man

Two days later, doctors extracted all the objects in an operation and Thakur, a part-time farmer, is now recovering and will receive psychiatric help.

Doctors said it's likely he suffers with acuphagia, a disorder in which people eat sharp or metal objects and other items they can't digest.
Acuphagia is a category of pica, an eating disorder whereby the person cannot help eating non-food items such as dirt, talcum powder or paint.

This is the dramatic moment a woman runs on stage and throws a priest off stage in the middle of a public sermon.

Viral footage shows the woman, who had been listening from the audience, suddenly launch herself at the priest who goes flying off the stage.

It is believed she had run onto the stage after the priest told worshippers that ‘fat women don’t go to heaven’, reported Diario 1.

Local reports have identified the priest as Marcelo Rossi – a well-known religious figure in the country – who is said to have been left uninjured.

Although the priest is not heard making the statement during the short clip, some reports say he allegedly made the comment prior to the woman’s attack.

Around 50,000 worshippers are seen standing up from their seats in shock as the priest dramatically tumbles down the stage stairs onto the floor.

However, some reports have suggested the priest did not make the controversial comment at all and the woman was suffering with mental health issues.

The incident took place during a religious event in the area of Cachoeira Paulista, in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The church said on Twitter that Rossi continued with the sermon as the woman was arrested, reported ABC Noticias.

A statement read: ‘The father has suffered an attack during mass. We pray for him.

‘Fortunately, the Rev Father has not suffered considerable injuries and was able to continue with the mass.’

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has pledged to support National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in combating fraudulent mobilisation of unqualified graduates for national service.

EFCC also commended corps members for educating Nigerians on the dangers of corruption through the Anti-corruption Community Development Service Groups.

Information about the anti-graft’s pledge are in a statement by Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, the NYSC Director, Press and Public Relations in Abuja on Tuesday.


Adeyemi stated that the EFCC acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, made the pledge when NYSC Director-General,

Brig.-Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, paid him a courtesy visit in his office recently at EFCC Headquarters, Abuja.

She added that Magu condemned activities of unpatriotic Nigerians who brought shame to the country through

their desperate quest for wealth, including sale of academic qualifications to unqualified graduates.

The EFCC boss then promised to collaborate with NYSC to checkmate illegal activities of such individuals.

Earlier, the NYSC chief had decried corruption in the country, adding that under his leadership, staff and corps members would pursue the fight to get rid of the menace.

He appealed for EFCC support “in NYSC’s quest to monitor the activities of some higher institutions that

present unqualified graduates for mobilisation for national service.”

Ibrahim said “it is unfortunate that some institutions of higher learning, particularly in Cotonou, BeninRepublic present to us people who didn’t go to the four walls of the university as graduates for NYSC mobilisation.

“We are presently investigating some of such so-called graduates, many of whom cannot write or spell any word in English.”

A 69-year-old Malaysian woman sustained serious injuries to her face after she was allegedly punched and slapped by her grand daughter's husband for not stopping his 8-month-old daughter from crying.

Jasin District police chief Deputy Superintendent Arshad Abu said the victim suffered injuries to her forehead and bruises to both eyes in the 6am incident on Monday.

He said the victim was being treated at Jasin Hospital and would be referred to Melaka Hospital to be checked by an eye specialist, adding that she was at risk of losing her eyesight due to the seriousness of her injuries.

“Initial investigations found that before the incident, the victim’s granddaughter was in the room, and the baby was crying in the living room. The suspect then used abusive words and alleged that the victim was not taking care of the baby before hitting her until she fell. Soon after assaulting her, the suspect fled with his wife and child,” he said.

The suspect, who did not have a permanent job, and his wife had been staying with the victim since they were married. Their expenses were fully borne by the victim who worked as a cook at an Islamic school canteen for RM250 monthly salary.


The police detained the 24-year-old suspect in Bachang at 11pm the same day, adding that he tested positive for drug abuse.


The suspect had a criminal record for two previous drug offences, he said, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 325 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt.

Ogun State Government has opened a job portal for unemployed youths in the State to register according to their academic qualifications and trades.

The State Governor, Dapo Abiodun had on the resumption of the office promised to provide jobs for the youths across the State.

The portal, according to the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin on Wednesday, would register, on a continuous basis, unemployed youths in the State with a view to providing them jobs suitable for their trade and academic qualifications.


“The Government of Ogun State is partnering with the public-private sector oriented to expand the job space for our teeming young men and women and those who have special talents,” Somorin quoted the governor as saying in a statement.

“It is a major pillar of our quality governance model. We are going to have an inclusive government that will utilise valuable potentials that abound in the State and that’s why we are involving the private sector.

“All graduates and those with vocational training across the State will give their information and we will endeavour to match them with potential employers, not only within the civil service but also with the private sector, with whom we are partnering”, he stated.

To ensure that the citizens and residents of the states are not short-changed “we will send a local content bill for legislative action, such that investors will first look inward to availability of workers in Ogun State and make our youths their primary catchment area when they site their companies here”.

The governor added that his government plans to include certain enablers as a corollary to his mission to build our future together through “qualitative governance, education, healthcare, infrastructural development, digitization and agriculture “.

“Besides linking our graduates with industrialists and Government agencies, we plan to engage 10,000 farmers to be supported for mechanised farming with attendant value chain benefits to make agribusiness bedrock of his administration’s plan to lift people out of poverty.

“Some are also to be trained as DJ, artistes, dramatists, musicians and in the creative arts and entrepreneurship”, the statement read.

He said 10,000 youth farmers will be supported to plant cassava, maize and rice – crops in which the state is a leading producer.

“Each farmer will get a parcel of land and be supported with clearing, seedlings, extension and off-takers services to ensure the profitability of their ventures.

MTN Nigeria on Wednesday announced a price reduction across all its data plans and offerings.

Addressing a news conference, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, Rahul De, said the slash was aimed at delivering more value to its customers.

It was learned that users can now have up to 30 per cent more data volume for 30-day plans.

He said that users would also enjoy up to 100 per cent incremental volume for weekly data plans and 25 per cent incremental volume for daily plans.


“In addition, new customers would enjoy introductory offers, with access to prices as low as N50 for 50MB and N500 for 2GB, and also receive a 100 per cent bonus on data purchases for four months,” De said.

“With the faster internet speeds delivered by the launch of 4G+, this data price slash could not have come at a better time for our customers, as we have seen that faster data speeds means more data usage.

“The increased quality and speed on the MTN network, has enabled customers to explore new ways to use old services while discovering applications.

“In the space of a few years, people went from instant messaging to sharing funny videos and from listening to music to streaming high definition movies.

“People’s data needs have changed, we recognise that. Our customers need much more and we are delivering that for less.”

The Senate on Wednesday expressed worry over the increasing incidences of rape of women and defilement of minors in parts of the country.

Senators resolved that application of death penalty to offenders would go a long way to serve as a deterrent to the menace.

Apart from death penalty for rape offenders, the lawmakers also underscored the necessity to review relevant laws as well as open registers for rape offenders in parts of the country.

The resolution followed the adoption of a motion on increasing cases of rape, sponsored by Senator Rose Oko.

The Cross River North Senator, asked the Senate to take the lead by reviewing existing laws to discourage the trend.

Oko called attention to several alleged rape cases, including the one allegedly by the Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo.

The worrisome trend of rape cases, she said, has become a national problem that should worry the Senate.

Senator George Thompson Sekibo, in his contribution noted that prescribing death penalty for offenders, would not only serve as deterrent but would also ensure that justice is served.

Sekibo encouraged parents to report rape cases as soon as they occur to enable relevant security agencies take the appropriate steps to apprehend the culprits.

He said: “When an abuse of such a situation takes place, let the parents report the issue to the police or you come to the Senate.

“I leant that when a rape case takes place, the private part should not be washed. They should go to the hospital and take the sample.

“To abuse a child of six months, is evil. No religion will take it. We should make it a death penalty. By the time you kill two people, people would have leant and they will stop it.”

Senator Dino Melaye agreed that drastic measures should be taken against rapists.

The Kogi West Senator noted that if stiffer penalty is prescribed, people will stop the act.

Melaye said: “This issue is not only satanic, it is also wicked. This is one of the satanic manifestations in the country. If we don’t propose stiffer punishment, people will continue to get away with it.

“When you report a case to the police, they treat it as if it is ordinary. Lecturers carry out sex for marks. I want to encourage the sponsor of this motion to go ahead and come up with amendments to deal with this barbaric act.

“There are now cases of male adults defiling small boys. These things must be cured and the Senate must take the lead in ensuring that this doesn’t continue in this country.”

Senator Oluremi Tinubu in her contribution also backed the death penalty proposal.

The Lagos Central lawmaker who was alarmed about increasing rate of the defilement of minors urged parents to take steps to educate their children on sexual awareness.

She said, “The issue is very controversial and scary. As a mother, if our children were the ones violated, we know what would have happened. If we look at the society at large, we have not done anything.

“Children are the most vulnerable group. Whoever is involved in acts like this, should face death. I think rape of a minor deserves a death sentence. This is what we need to do to stop this madness.

“Most of these acts are done by people close to these minors. This is time we stepped in as a Senate and protect this country

“Parents too should be given the orientation too on now to raise their children. Poverty is a major cause of this and we need to educate the parents to reduce this.”

Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi also urged relevant agencies to establish a sex register for offenders.

The Niger North Senator said that opening a register for sex offenders would go a long way to discourage the act.

He said: “When these offences are committed, what happens? The lack of stiffer punishment is a major issue we must look at. From examples cited, we must make progress. It is time for us to look at our laws and put sex or rape offenders on a register anywhere in the country.

“The psychological effects can’t be understood. Some adults behaving in certain manners are victims of these acts when they were minors.”

Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, prayed the Senate to look at sentencing guidelines.

Omo-Agege said, “The challenges articulated are very apt. We have enough laws to deal with the issues. The area we should look at is sentencing guidelines. There should be a minimum sentencing timeline, it will help.

“We need to look at the status regulating the prerogative of mercy. We have governors and state chief judges setting free prisoners. I believe we should focus on these areas. We should have the sex offenders register.”

The lawmakers generally agreed that urgent steps should be taken to save the country from rapists.

They also agreed that when constituted, the Senate committee on Judiciary, Police and others related, will push for the implementation of extant laws on rape of women and defilement of minors.

The relevant Senate committees, when constituted, were asked to review relevant legislations on rape.

The Senate further urged the Police to deal decisively with all cases of sexual abuse as a way to stem the tide.

The upper chamber was also worried that only 26, out of 36 states of the federation have so far domesticated the Child Rights Act.......Continue reading: https://www.newsvib.com/2019/07/rape-nigeria-senate-seeks-death-penalty-for-rapists.html

A 72-year-old man, Abubakar Ibrahim of Kabala West, Kaduna, on Tuesday dragged his future in-law to a Sharia Court ll, sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, seeking refund of N95, 000 in bride price.

Ibrahim told the court that he paid N95, 000 to his prospective in-law, Muhammad Lawal, and two years later, no date has been fixed for the wedding.

“We are no longer interested in the marriage. I want the court to help me recover my money. He has been promising to pay back my money, but failed to do so.

“We entered into an agreement on April 17, which he signed, promising to pay back the money but he failed.

”He has two cars, he should sell one and pay me my money,’’ Ibrahim said.

The defendant, Lawal, a district head, who resides at 065 Warri Street, Kaduna, acknowledged that he owed the money paid as bride price for his daughter Ramatu.

Lawal, however, denied having any car or any movable asset which he can sell to repay the complaint.

After listening to the parties, the Judge, Murtala Nasir, adjourned the case until July 16 for ruling.

Two people have been confirmed dead and over 30 vehicles burnt following the early morning fire that engulfed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipeline at Ijegun, a Lagos suburb.

Suspected pipeline vandals were said to have ignited the fire at about 5am on Thursday at Fire Junction, Ijegun, in a bid to prevent security operatives from pursuing them.

According to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), the vandals had siphoned Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) into a 33,000 litre capacity tanker and were loading a second one when security operatives intercepted them.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) LASEMA Femi Oke-Osanyetolu, said the vandals spilled some of the PMS which entered drainages while fleeing and allegedly lit a fire that followed the spilled content backward

He said: “While trying to escape from the security agencies, some of the siphoned fuel spilled into the drainage and the vandals were alleged to have set the spilled fuel on fire in a bid to deter the security agencies from apprehending them.

“The fire then spread back to the pipeline, the point where the vandals had siphoned the fuel and exploded with escalating fire which led to two fatalities and over 30 vehicles burnt.

“The actual loss will be determined upon conducting post disaster enumeration after the fire has been put out. Responders at the scene include Lagos State Fire Service, Police and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).”

A French company claims to have invented a pill that can make your farts smell nice.

Yep, we all know someone who could use that, right? By the way, if you're sat there thinking "actually, I don't know anyone" - it's you, mate.

Anyway, the pills have been developed by an inventor called Christian Poincheval, who is based in the western French town of Gesvres and - he claims - that they can transform your smelly gas into the lovely fragrance of chocolate or roses.

Yes, this anal alchemist actually thinks he can make your shit smell like roses.

In fact, he's been at it since 2007, according to the official website of the company, called Lutin Malin (that's Cunning Imp, en Anglais).

They claim that the pill is entirely natural, there's nothing medicine or drug based therein. Just a "dietary supplement based on natural ingredients" that will make your guff smell good.

Huge, if true.

The website claims: "The Fart Pill is the result of lengthy research and trials and is on sale since 2007. Our fragrant variants also add a touch of humour for any occasion.

"Our numerous returning customers are no doubt the best proof."

There are even some interesting variations, too.

Ever wanted your flatulence to smell of ginger? Yep, you can.

There are even some interesting seasonal choices, too.

Christmas chocolate or May Day lily, anyone?

It's not just for humans, either. The website also claims to have some powders that you can use on your dog.

Now that is a claim to make. Dog farts are the bane of every owner's existence.

However, according to Lutin Malin, you can just sprinkle this powder onto their food and their ordinarily rank output will be replaced by the delightful smell of spring flowers.

A few years back, Mr Poincheval told The Telegraph that his invention was borne out of necessity after a particularly smelly dinner party.

He explained: "Our farts were so smelly we were nearly suffocated. Something had to be done,"

Off he went. He experimented with ingredients and combinations an eventually settled on a recipe. Now,.......continue reading: https://www.newsvib.com/2019/07/company-sells-pills-that-make-farts-smell-like-flower-and-chocolate.html
