Army releases statement on assassination attempt on Army Chief in Zaria + Graphic pics

Posted: 12 Dec 2015 11:17 AM PST

Several people were killed today during a firefight between the Nigerian Army and members of the Shitte Muslim sect, in Zaria, Kaduna. Below is the press release by the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman on the attack and after the cut are graphic photos from the incident
The Shiite Sect on the orders of their leader, Ibrahim Alzak-zaky today afternoon in Zaria attacked the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff while on his way to pay homage on the Emir of Zazzau and attend the Passing Out Parade of 73 Regular Recruits Intake of Depot Nigerian Army, Zaria.
The sect numbering hundreds carrying dangerous weapons, barricaded the roads with bonfires, heavy stones and tyres. They refused all entreaties to disperse and then started firing and pelting the convoy with dangerous objects. The barricade was obviously a deliberate attempt to assassinate the Chief of Army Staff and members of his entourage while on a legitimate official assignment as Special Guest of Honour at the passing out parade which has earlier been widely publicized. The troops responsible for the safety and security of the Chief of Army Staff on hearing explosion and firing were left with no choice than to defend him and the convoy at all cost as well as open up the barricaded road for law abiding citizens. This is in line with the Nigerian Army Rules of Engagement and Code of Conduct. This kind of behaviour will not be tolerated from any individual or groups and should not be allowed to repeat itself. We wish to implore all Nigerians to continue to be law abiding and remain conscious of other people's right to life, freedom of movement and passage. The Chief of Army escaped unhurt and continued with his duties.

Meet the woman who allegedly broke Diddy and Cassie up

Posted: 12 Dec 2015 07:39 AM PST

Cassie announced yesterday that she was single again and many thought it was because of Diddy's renewed relationship with his babymama, Kim Porter, but according to blogger B. Scott, it's a lady named Gina (left). What they wrote below...
Cassie broke up with Diddy the Sunday after his Revolt Music Conference in Miami because while he was there — he had another woman with him! Not only that, but the same woman was with him the weekend prior in Atlanta for the BET Hip Hop Awards.

Her name is Gina Huynh and she's been around for awhile. Last year, Diddy took Gina and her friends to the All-Star game in New Orleans. Word reportedly got back to one of Cassie's homegirls and sh*t hit the fan, but they were able to move past it.
Anyway, after Cassie found out that the two rekindled back in October she shut things down with Diddy and skipped away to South Africa to film 'Honey 3.' Since she's been out of the country, she's refused to take his calls, answer his texts, and she even went as far as to block her management so that they wouldn't contact her on his behalf!
If you were wondering where those thousands of roses came from that appeared on Cassie's Snapchat — they were from Diddy trying to reach out.
However, Cassie's tired of his sh*t and this Gina girl really is the last straw. There's also been some chatter about Diddy getting to close to his VP Ericka Pittman.
Anyone can see that the two have been rocky. She was absent from ALL of Diddy's birthday festivities and the one acknowledgement of his birthday she gave was a friendly Instagram shout-out that's since been deleted.

Photos: Pastor’s son beheads 11-year-old girl in Delta state for ritual

Posted: 12 Dec 2015 04:45 AM PST

The Delta state Police command have arrested 15 year old Silas Anidi, the only son of the General Overseer of God Pecu­liar Evangelical Ministry, Sapele, Delta State, for beheading 11-year-old Aghogho Igbi and was about to do same to the deceased's sister, Favour, when neighbours intervened and got him arrested.

According to The Sun, when interrogated, Silas said he was lured to commit the crime by his friend, Christian.

"It was his brother who is in Ghana that gave us the contract. He prom­ised to pay us N50,000 and also help us to relocate to Ghana. I started monitoring the Igbi's fam­ily because I know that they used to leave their children at home and go out. Luckily on November 28, 2015, I visited their house and as God will have it, their elder sister, Janet said that she wanted to go to school for evening lesson. I was excited that I was left alone with the much younger ones. I sat down on the rug and was watching cartoon network with Aghogho. While she was busy en­joying herself, I dragged her head back and sliced her throat. I rushed to the next room where Favour was sleeping and tried to do the same but she woke up and started struggling with me. I tried to slice her throat but she started screaming. I only managed to stab her in the head but her screams were too much that neighbours were attracted. I was about to es­cape when neighbours caught me. I am the son of the General Overseer of God Peculiar Evangel­ical Ministry, Sapele, Delta State. I am ashame of myself because my family especially my dad will be disappointed in me. I was not satis­fied with the little money that we made in the church that is why I wanted to travel to Ghana to make money. I was deceived that until we get human head that we will not succeed. He promised to pay N50,000 for each human head", he confessed.
Favour, the sister of the deceased who survived the attack said "We attended church vigil the previous night and I was in the room sleeping. I heard when someone was at the door, but since my sisters were around I assumed that they will attend to the visitor. I heard when my elder sister, Janet left the house and told Silas to re­lax since he is a close friend of the family. In less than 10 minutes, I no­ticed that someone was trying to suffocate me with the pillow. I was shocked that it was Silas but since it was no longer a joke, I struggled to free myself from his grip. I kept screaming and he used a knife to stab me in the head. I was lucky that someone heard my voice and rushed to the room. He was later arrested while he was trying to es­cape through the roof. I rushed out to the palour and saw that he had beheaded my sister. I don't know the kind of devil that entered into him that he had to kill my sister," she said crying
The Delta state Police Commissioner, Usman Baba Alkali  while confirming the incident, said in­vestigation was ongoing while detectives are still on the trail of Silas's accomplice, Christian and his brother who is based in Ghana.

Daily Independent, Peoples Daily newspaper, New Telgraph deny receiving N10m compensation from Obaigbena

Posted: 12 Dec 2015 07:16 AM PST

The managements of Peoples Media Limited, publishers of Peoples Daily; Daily Telegraph Publishing Company Limited, publishers of New Telegraph, Saturday Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, and Independent Newspapers Limited, publishers of Daily Independent newspapers, have all come out to publicly deny Nduka Obaigbena's claims that he gave them N10 million each from embattled former National Security Adviser NSA Sambo Dasuki as compensation for the military confiscation of their dailies in June last year.
TThe Chief Operating Officer of the Peoples Daily newspaper, Ali Ali, in a statement released yesterday refuted claims of receiving any money for compensation from the last government."One of the revelations on the current inquisition of the tenure of the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) is that this newspaper, among several other national dailies, received the sum of N10million from the office of the former NSA through Nduka Obaigbena, the President of Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria, NPAN.

 This is news to us. At no time was such money made available to us in whatever guise. We wish to state clearly that it is false and therefore, wish to completely distance this medium from this revelation. We don't know of others, therefore, we can't speak for them,". 
Also the Managing Director/ Editor-in-Chief of New Telegraph, Funke Egbemode, in a statement denied claims of receiving any money from Obaigbena. The statement reads
"Our attention has been drawn to the inclusion of New Telegraph Newspapers on the list of media houses that THISDAY Publisher and President, Newspapers Proprietors' Association of Nigeria (NPAN) claimed he paid N10 million each to, from funds he received from the immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Col  Sambo Dasuki (retd), as compensation for the illegal seizure of some newspapers by the military during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

"It is on record that following the decision of NPAN to seek compensation from the Federal Government  in the aftermath of the seizure of editions of newspapers by the military, New Telegraph computed its losses, which were passed to the association. However, since then, the company has heard nothing from the association on the matter. Following a report that NPAN has begun paying N9 million (not N10 million as contained in the report that has gone viral on the internet), the management of Daily Telegraph Publishing Company Limited, publishers of New Telegraph, Saturday Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, has written three letters to NPAN for its share of the compensation; but regrettably, as at this moment, not even a kobo has been received. The first letter was written on May 22, 2015 followed by another on July 16, 2015 with a reminder written on November 19, 2015. Therefore, it is nothing but sheer falsehood for the NPAN president, who claimed he received the money on behalf of the association, to have included New Telegraph Newspapers as one of the beneficiaries of the funds, which as it has now emerged, was disbursed by the former NSA."

Chief Executive Officer of Independent Newspapers Limited, publishers of Daily Independent newspapers, Ted Iwere has also denied the claims of receiving any N10 million as compensation from Obaigbena

Tribune newspapers release statement denying claims it received N10m compensation from Nduka Obaigbena

Posted: 12 Dec 2015 04:13 AM PST

The African Newspapers of Nigeria (ANN) Plc, publishers of the Tribune titles, has denied receiving N10 million through the publisher of Thisday newspapers, Nduka Obaigbena, as compensation for attacks on its operations and personnel by soldiers in June 2014.



Nduka Obaigbena in a letter he sent to EFCC on December 9th, had alleged that the media house was one of the companies he in his capacity as the Chairman of the Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN), gave N10 million as compensation received from the former administration after the military confiscated their dailies in June last year.

A statement signed by Tribune's Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief, Mr Edward Dickson, reads
"Our attention has been drawn to claims by the Publisher of Thisday newspapers, who is also the President of the Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN), Mr. Nduka Obaigbena, that a sum of N10 million was paid to our company through NPAN by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) as compensation for the disruption of our circulation operations, seizure of our newspapers and damage to our property by soldiers in June 2014. "Although, like other NPAN members, we filed claims as requested for by NPAN, the fact of the matter is that up till this moment, 11th December, 2015, our company is yet to receive a kobo as compensation through NPAN for the 2014 disruptive activities of the military to our operations."
This is the alleged letter Obaigbena sent to the EFCC and story below...
Chairman of Thisday newspaper, Nduka Obaigbena, has written a letter to EFCC officials, stating that he collected N550 million from the former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki as compensation for the Boko Haram suicide attacks on his Abuja office. Obaigbena has been indicted in the ongoing $2.1 billion arms deal scandal. In the letter he signed and dated December 9th, Oaigbena acknowledged he received N120m from Dasuki which he distributed to some newspaper house as compensation for the confiscation of their newspapers by the Army in Junelast year.

The Executive Chairman, The Economic & Financial Crimes C omission, 5, Fomella Street, Wuse 11, Abuja, Nigeria. Attention: OLAOLU ADEGBITE, MFR. RE: LETTER OF INVITATION. Please refer to your letter of invitation dated 8th November 2015, which was received in our Abuja Office on the 8th of December 2015. I am currently in the United States of America on my way back to Nigeria to honour your invitation, but I feel it necessary to make the following statements prior to my arrival in Nigeria: 

1. We have never received any suspicious funds from the Office of the National Security Adviser. ALL funds received from the Office of the National Security Adviser were PAYMENTS for COMPENSATION to MITIGATE the following: 

1.1. N150,000,000 + N150,000,000 and N250,000,000 respectively received in August, November and February 2014 as compensation to mitigate the dastardly Boko Haram twin bombings of the THISDAY NEWSPAPERS offices in Abuja and Kaduna on Thursday April 26, 2012, during which 4 innocent Nigerian lives were lost, our buildings destroyed and we lost full colour Goss printing towers and three (3) pre-press Computer-To-Plate and anxiliary equipments and other (in)valuable property valued at over N2.5 BILLION. This is aside from daily costs to pay 3rd party printers of over N1 Billion having lost our printing facility to terrorist due to inadequate protection by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The bombing of THISDAY offices followed the Abuja United Nations Building bombing for which the Federal Government has so far spent N3 Billion for reconstruction and much more earmarked for furnishing; 

1.2. N100,000,000 and N20,000,000 received in March 2015 for The Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN) and 12 newspapers who demanded compensation for the brutal and unlawful seizure of newspapers and stoppage of circulation by armed soldiers in Abuja and several cities. As President of the NPAN, it was my duty to lead media leaders to hold discussions with President Goodluck Jonathan to avert a class action lawsuit against the Armed Forces and the Federal Government of Nigeria. 2. On both occasions, President Jonathan said he did not wish to lay precedence and in our case, he specifically said there were many victims of Boko Haram. I had to confront President Jonathan on the issue when I learnt of approvals for the reconstruction of the Abuja United Nations Building, since we were the second major organisation to be attacked by Boko Haram after the UN attack. He therefore directed me to meet the National Security Adviser who processed the 3 payments in question. 

Please find attached a copy of our letter to President Jonathan as well as correspondence with the then NSA on the Newspapers' payment. I will be making my way to Nigeria to meet with you should you require further information. Thank you. 

Nduka Obaigbena 
Chairman & Editor-in-Chief, THISDAY NEWSPAPERS GROUP.
