Chilling CCTV footage has captured the final moments of a woman who fell to her death from a 10th floor Benidorm balcony during a friend's hen party.

Kirsty Maxwell is filmed walking along a corridor in the Payma Apartments in the Spanish resort just hours before she died.

The newly released video, captured on a hotel CCTV camera, shows the friends, each wearing their hen do outfits as they make their way to a lift in the building.

More footage later shot on a mobile phone shows Mrs Maxwell, from West Lothian in Scotland, asleep in bed on April 29 last year.

Just an hour after that footage was shot she plunged to her death, and the events leading up to that moment remain unclear.

An FCT High Court sitting in Jabi on Friday sentenced Lebi-Ayodele James, a staff of the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation to two years in prison for forging the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigeria (ICAN) certificate.

The judge, Justice Yusuf Halilu, who did not give the convict an option to pay a fine, ordered him to pay N100,000 in restitution.

The Judge said that the convict would have rose to the position of the Accountant General of the Federation with a forged certificate in the nearest future if the forgery had not been discovered.

According to Halilu, the sentence will serves as a lesson to the convict and others who procure fake certificates and those who might intend to engage in such act in the future.

Actress Stormy Daniels was arrested at a strip club in Columbus, Ohio for allegedly allowing a patron to touch her while on stage in a “nonsexual manner,” her lawyer, Michael Avenatti said early Thursday morning.

Following a performance at the Columbus strip club called Sirens Wednesday night, Daniels was approached by multiple undercover officers informing her that she would be arrested for allowing the patron to touch her, Avenatti said.

The lawyer said Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is expected to be charged with one or more misdemeanors. Early Thursday she remained in custody awaiting a determination of bail, Avenatti said.

An Ohio strip club law prohibits patrons from touching a nude or seminude dancer unless the patron is a member of the dancer’s immediate family.

..Says Civilian coup staged against Fayose

National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Wednesday said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC, should be held responsible for any breakdown of law and order in Ekiti state.

Addressing a press conference at the PDP national secretariat over the assault on Governor Ayo Fayose by policemen in Ekiti, the PDP national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus said the brutalisation of the governor is tantamount to a civilian coup against the governor.



He said the APC is desperate to take over Ekiti state by all means and has deployed federal might to cow and intimidate the people ahead of the election.



Prince Secondus emphasised that the people are determined to resist any attempt to subvert their mandate and install unpopular candidate on them.

“No bullet or oppressor’s whip can cow Ekiti the people of Ekiti State,” he said.

Ahead of the arraignment of the leader of Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, the police have warned sect members against procession or protests.

The Shiite Muslim leader would be arraigned at the Kaduna State High Court on Wednesday.

The spokesperson in the state, Mr. Mukhtar Aliyu, warns that the police will not hesitate to deal decisively with any person or group of persons who deliberately attempt to violate the ban on unlawful assembly.

The police also advised residents of the state capital to go about their businesses without fear as El-Zakzaky is brought to court after more than two years in detention.

He was held as a result of confrontation of members of Shiite Muslims with the Nigerian military resulting in the death of more than 300 persons in Zaria, in Kaduna state.

Ambulances back at cave entrance

At least five ambulances have returned to cave entrance as divers make their way through flooded tunnels to reach 8 boys and their coach who are still trapped.

Rescuers brought at least one boy out of the cave system on Monday, according to a witness outside the cave in northern Thailand.

He joins four other boys who were rescued on Sunday from deep inside the cave by a team of international and Thai dive experts.

The boys, all part of a youth soccer team known as the Wild Boars, first went missing over two weeks ago. Last Monday they were discovered huddled on a narrow shelf of rock deep within the flooded cave system.

It said the unnamed politicians were using criminals to perpetuate the killings.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement via his twiter handle


@GarShehu

As President Buhari indicated lately, there is evidence of involvement of some politicians using criminals to perpetuate the killings.
Shehu, however, said climate change, especially the drying up of the Chad Basin, has also been compounding the problem.

Tuesday, May 29th, 2018 is Democracy day and officially three years since the President Mohammad Buhari assumed office, while the president gives a speech to mark the 19th year of Nigeria’s democracy and the 3rd Anniversary of his administration.

Buhari addressed the nation in a live broadcast which started at 7 am and lasted for almost 26 minutes, to explain what his administration has been able to do in the last three years.

While at it, we, however, gathered about five similarities between the Presidents 2018 democracy day speech and 2016 Democracy day speech.

1. Boko Haram: President Buhari is his 2016 democracy speech, talked about Boko Haram. The president said the insurgents had captured 14 local governments, driven the local authorities out, hoisted their flags.

The president in 2018 also spoke about the insurgents. He said his administration has degraded the capacity of the Boko Haram insurgency leading to the release of 106 Chibok and 104 Dapchi girls and over 16,000 other persons held by the insurgents.

2. Fight against corruption: President Buhari in his 2016 democracy speech, talked about the fight against corruption, the EFCC was given the freedom to pursue corrupt officials and the judiciary was alerted on what Nigerians expect of them in the fight against corruption.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday slammed president Muhammadu Buhari, calling him ignorant and uninformed about the power sector.

Buhari had earlier on Tuesday said that the Obasanjo administration spent $16bn on power projects during his tenure, without corresponding power supply to Nigerians.

Chief Obasanjo challenges, and in fact encourages, anybody to set up another enquiry if in doubt and unsatisfied with the EFCC report and that of the Hon. Aminu Tambuwal-led ad-hoc committee, said a statement by Kunle Somorin, his media assistant.

Statement

It has come to the attention of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo that a statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari, apparently without correct information and based on ignorance, suggested that $16 billion was wasted on power projects by “a former President”. We believe that the President was re-echoing the unsubstantiated allegation against Chief Obasanjo by his own predecessor but one.

While it is doubtful that a President with proper understanding of the issue would utter such, it should be pointed out that records from the National Assembly had exculpated President Obasanjo of any wrong-doing concerning the power sector and has proved the allegations as false.

For the records, Chief Obasanjo has addressed the issues of the power sector and the allegations against him on many occasions and platforms, including in his widely publicised book, My Watch in which he exhaustively stated the facts and reproduced various reports by both the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which conducted a clinical investigation into the allegations against Chief Obasanjo, and the Ad-Hoc Committee on the Review of the Recommendations in the Report of the Committee on Power on the Investigation into how the Huge Sums Of Money was Spent on Power Generation, Transmission And Distribution between June 1999 and May 2007 without Commensurate Result.

We recommend that the President and his co-travellers should read Chapters 41, 42, 43 and 47 of My Watch for Chief Obasanjo’s insights and perspectives on the power sector and indeed what transpired when the allegation of $16 billion on power projects was previously made. If he cannot read the three-volume book, he should detail his aides to do so and summarise the chapters in a language that he will easily understand.

In the same statement credited to the President, it was alleged that there was some bragging by Chief Obasanjo over $16 billion spent on power. To inform the uninformed, the so-called $16 billion power expenditure was an allegation against Chief Obasanjo’s administration and not his claim. The President also queried where the power generated is. The answer is simple:

The power is in the seven National Integrated Power Projects and eighteen gas turbines that Chief Obasanjo’s successor who originally made the allegation of $16 billion did not clear from the ports for over a year and the civil works done on the sites.

Embattled special investigator recently disengaged by the Special Presidential Investigation Panel on recovery of Public Property, SPIP, Evangelist Victor Osita Uwajeh, has attributed his sack to his refusal to investigate Senate President Bukola Saraki and former vice president Atiku Abubakar and other perceived enemies of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Uwajeh, former consultant to the Economic and and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was recently employed by Okoi Obono Obla-led presidential panel but was disengaged last month later following revelations that he has a pending criminal case in court.

Evangelist Uwajeh’s travails were compounded on Monday following a bench warrant issued for his arrest by Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

In a statement issued in Abuja, the London-based investigator disclosed that apart from Saraki and Atiku, the presidency also wanted him to investigate Rivers state Governor Nyesom Wike, Senator Jonah Jang, Patience Jonathan, Femi Fani- Kayode, some serving federal lawmakers and chieftains of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He alleged that his refusal to act on the courier document sent to him from Nigeria by the government which comprises of some names perceived to be enemies of the current administration responsible for his disengagement.

According to the statement: "It was the procedure of the Panel to courier documents to me from Nigeria for despatch to various Agencies in the United Kingdom and worldwide.
