The President has further directed the security agencies to launch a full-scale investigation and to leave no stone unturned until all agents of terror undermining the right of every citizen to life and dignity, are tracked down and brought to justice. The President reaffirms that terrorism in all its forms and manifestation is a despicable and unjustifiable threat to our society. He reiterates the determination of the government to continue to take every step to put an end to the reprehensible acts of all groups and persons involved in acts of terrorism.

The President is confident that no terrorist act against fellow citizens will destroy the Nigerian spirit to remain positive, resolute and united in the quest for lasting peace and security in the country. He appeals to all Nigerians to remain vigilant and cooperate actively with our security agencies to win the on-going war against terror.

Nanny who battered Ugandan baby asks for forgiveness, explains why she did it Posted: 28 Nov 2014 05:57 AM PST There's absolutely no reason for severely battering a helpless 18month old but the Nanny who is currently in prison awaiting trial for attempted murder of baby Arnella tries to explain why she did it and begs for forgiveness. She's due in court again on December 8th. Speaking from Luzira prison, Jolly Tumuhiirwe told Ugandaonline.net "My dad in Kabale was very sick and my mom did not have any money. I asked my bosses for some money to send to my dad but they told me that I hadn't made a month yet and my father was dying, so it kept on haunting me. That is the more reason I referred the anger to the baby but I'm sorry. "But that madam (Arnella's mom) is not easy. She used to say that I steal money from the clothes and Eric's wallet, I eat the babies food…and yet I can't eat the food, I'm not a baby, those were all lies, so, I was also not happy from my heart." "I feel guilty..ok when I was doing it I thought I was disciplining the baby because also the mother sometimes slaps her, I also saw from the mom. The torch I used was small and it's not hard. I think, I will never do it again"Jolly's experience of Prison "It's not good at all even my fellow prisoners don't want to associate with me, they want to beat me up. In fact they were saying that I should join them in their rooms, nobody likes me and I'm feeling bad I will never do it again, I ask the world to forgive me and also tell the bosses who have maids to treat them well."(Pic above: Jolly holds up the top she was wearing when she was beaten by Arnella's father - it has blood stains. I don't think a man should ever hit a woman, but I will make an exception in this case ) | ||

Pics: One dead from today's fight between Okada men & thugs in Lekki Posted: 28 Nov 2014 05:23 AM PST Apparently the fight between Okadamen, bus drivers and thugs today in the Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos was more serious than we thought. Machetes were used and someone died. A young man was struck in the back of the head with a Machette and was taken to the nearest place they could find, a lab, not a hospital. The lab called for an ambulance to take the injured man to a hospital and for 3 hours, no ambulance showed up. The guy eventually died possibly from loss of blood. Above is a pic of his body as it was being transported in a police van via Lekki-Ikoyi bridge. | ||
