Nigerian army blames this morning's attack at Palmgrove on area boys

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 08:59 AM PDT

Say what? The Nigerian Army has denied the involvement of its men in the vandalism and burning of some BRT buses this morning at Palmgrove, Ikorodu road.

Speaking with Premium Times, the Nigerian Army spokesperson, Olajide Olaleye, blamed area boys for the attack.
"It's not true that the soldiers destroyed buses or set any bus on fire. What happened was that a BRT bus knocked down a soldier and killed him. As usual in Lagos, area boys gathered and a few soldiers stopped at the scene as well. The GOC has dispatched military policemen to the scene to help restore law and order," Mr. Olaleye said.
Lol. Blame it on the area boys when there's photo evidence. 6 BRT buses and 3 other cars were burnt after the soldier's rampage this morning. Even a woman soldier waka join inside...continue...

Nigerian Troops arrest 3 female undercover operatives of Boko Haram

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 07:04 AM PDT

The Nigerian army have released a statement stating that they have arrested 3 women who worked as undercover operatives for Boko Haram. Find the statement below...
In the aftermath of the failed suicide bombing attempt on a military facility by a female terrorist who blew herself up in Gombe recently, troops have arrested three suspected female terrorists who have been secretly recruiting ladies into the female wing of the terrorists group. The suspects, Hafsat Usman Bako, Zainab Idris and Aisha Abubakar were intercepted while travelling to Madagali from where they were to transit to the forest to reunite with their cohorts. Continue...
 Investigations revealed that the suspects, led by Hafsat Bako, have the mission to recruit members into the female wing as well as conduct espionage for the group. Hafsat's link with the terrorists group had earlier been a subject of investigation in 2012, when security agents on a manhunt for one Usman Bako, her husband who was identified as a terrorist, stormed their residence in Jimeta.  This resulted in the discovery of an AK 47 rifle and 2 loaded magazines.   Though Usman Bako later died in an encounter with troops in Sokoto where he had relocated to continue his terrorist activities, Hafsat continued with the terror group specializing in surreptitious recruitment of members into their fold.
The arrested trio suspects were luring ladies especially widows and young girls by enticing them with male suitors who are mainly members of their terror group for marriage. Before their arrest, they were on a mission to take additional briefing from the leadership of the terror group.
The trio has been operating together as members of the intelligence team of the group.   Their arrest has yielded information still being verified by security agencies.

"Some of the Chibok girls are being raped and shot at on camera" - Nigerian senator claims

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 05:49 AM PDT

Senator Ahmed Zanna, who represents Borno Central in the Senate, was a guest on Sahara TV a while back where he made shocking revelations about the missing Chibok girls. He said over 500 women, including the Chibok girls, have so far been abducted and some of the girls have been raped and shot at on camera. What he said below...
"Actually the information I am getting, some of them are very disturbing. Although I don't want to mention but they are just raping the girls you know in camera and even showing them on video, releasing it to the public. You know somebody told me that they are being raped and in turn, it is the girl who was raped that came down and was seen kneeling down, begging the man to be patient. Do you know the reason why?....
They say when they rape them, they shoot them so therefore the girl after been raped, she curled down to the man, kneeling down and begging him to please be patient. Continue..
So disturbing. Although I didn't see the video, but the person who narrated to me said he had the video and he was narrating to me, look at the situation and then the other scenario is that the Boko Haram are now out of fund, they are not getting enough food, so they are going from one village to another, taking the little the villagers have and going away and infact most of the villagers are now out and have moved out of their villages and have moved to cities and gone into neighboring countries. So more or less they don't have any chance of getting food so I don't know what they are going to do if food is not available. Are they going to sacrifice to give it to the girls? And then the other information I have is because you know the kidnap is a continuous process which they have been doing before the 200 and after the 200. So in their possession there are up to 500 or over 500 women who are been taken from the streets, on the main roads where they are traveling or go to the villages and collect them or you know all kinds of abductions"

Video: British girl filmed performing sex acts on 24 men for free drinks

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 04:27 AM PDT

A British girl was filmed performing sex acts on 24 men at a nightclub in Majorca's notorious party capital, Magaluf in Spain.

The 18 year old girl (pictured right), whose identity is being hidden, was told by the organizers during an event at a bar called Alex's Bar that she would win a 'holiday' if she participated in a game. But the prize turned out to be a £4 cocktail called 'Holiday' made from gin, vodka, peach schnapps, blackcurrant liqueur and fruit juice.

The girl was cheered on by the crowd as she went from one man to the other, asking them to take down their pants and performed the sex act. 
"The girl was being encouraged to drink more and more and was told she would win a 'holiday' if she took part in this game. Unfortunately the 'holiday' turned out to be the name of a cocktail. I feel sorry for her now. She must feel awful.' Someone who witnessed the incident told The Sun
A 2-minute footage, which also showed several holidaymakers taking photos of the act with their phones, was later posted online, causing outrage. The police has launched an inquiry into the incident. Watch the video after the cut...

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 02:35 AM PDT

So it's been confirmed that a BRT bus killed a soldier at Palmgrove bus stop in Palmgrove, Lagos this morning, which caused the soldier rampage.

The BRT driver who hit the soldier ran into Palmgrove estate in order to avoid the wrath of other soldiers present. Upon noticing that the driver ran away, the Army men ran into Palmgrove estate and when they couldn't find the driver, seized one of the Estate's security men. (pictured above)

According to eye-witnesses, the soldiers beat the man mercilessly and took him away.

He was released hours later badly beaten and traumatized. He had nothing to do with the incident but paid for it. Sad! Heard they even burnt down a BRT bus. Is their anger justified?

Some soldiers are currently causing chaos in the Palmgroove area of Lagos. An eye-witness said trouble started when a BRT bus hit a soldier on a bike. Nobody knows if the soldier died (though there are indications that he may have been crushed to death) but other soldiers immediately arrived the scene and started stopping all BRT buses on Ikorodu road beating drivers and sending passengers out. Beating even passers-by who move too close to them or take pictures.

According the eye-witness who sent in the photos, two civilians were allegedly beaten up and a guy who was taking pictures was beaten and his phone smashed on the express road.

Then the soldiers allegedly started vandalizing the buses! According to the source, some soldiers left the express and took big sticks from women cooking by the roadside to break the windows of the buses. Then one of them took stones and allegedly threw it into the crowd twice. Now the whole express is blocked. See more exclusive photos from the chaos after the cut...


Confab endorses creation of Ijebu, Aba, 16 other states, proposes Presidency rotation

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 12:22 AM PDT

Members of the ongoing National Conference holding in Abuja yesterday July 3rd while deliberating on the report of the committee on political restructuring and forms of Government in Nigeria, endorsed the creation of 18 new states to add to the existing 36 states. They also endorsed the rotation of the Presidency between the North and South and other Geo-political zones in the country.

The members suggested the creation of a state for the South-East geopolitical zone which has only 5 states in order to bring the number to 6 which is the number of states of other zones, apart from the North -West, which has seven. Continue...


Some of the proposed states approved by the Confab are Apa from Benue State, Kainji from Kebbi, Katagum from Bauchi, Savannah from Borno, Amana from Adamawa, Gurara from Kaduna, Ghari from Kano, Etiti from South East, Aba from Abia, Adada from Enugu, Njaba-Anim from Anambra and Imo,  Anioma from Delta State, Orashi from Rivers State, Ogoja from Cross River State, IJebu from Ogun State and New Oyo State from the present Oyo State.

The Conference is to later determine the names of the remaining two other states and their capitals, which are to be created in the South-South and South West zones. If approved by the Presidency, the number of states in the Country would now be 54.

The conference members also voted for the rotation of the Presidency between the North and South and also between the geo-political zones. They also voted against the immediate swearing-in of a Vice President into the office of the President should a sitting President die in office or be impeached.

They proposed that a Vice President should be sworn in as Acting President for 90days within which a fresh election for a new President should be held. 

The delegates also agreed that the old national anthem, "Nigeria we hail thee…" should be replaced with the current one.

"Never did. Never will' - Singer Mya denies affair with Jay Z

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 02:43 PM PDT

Singer Mya has denied reports that she's Jay Z's longtime mistress. There was a recent blind item suggesting Mya and Jay Z have been in an 11 year affair, with the rapper allegedly financially supporting her. But Mya says it is 100% false.

Mya denied the reports on instagram today after a fan asked her if it was true. "Heard you and Jay Z had an 11 year affair. Are you his side chick or nah?" the fan asked

Mya replied;
Never did, never was, never will. Illegitimate, thirsty sources with no facts and that's the 'media' for you - especially today. I play second to no one, pay my own bills, have my own label, own management company, rely on God only and respect myself & marriage too much for nonsense."
False rumors are crafted for ratings & numbers. And miserable, unhappy people need someone to judge to deter the attention away from their own misery and feel better about their miserable lives. If they did it to Jesus, they'll do it to anyone. God bless."
