| Iyiola Omisore reacts to EFCC declaring wanted Posted: 24 May 2016 12:57 PM PDT  I read the statement issued by the Econimic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) purportedly declaring me wanted as an attempt by that organisation and its leadership to tarnish my image. That statement, if indeed it was issued by the EFCC, is the height of mischief and a deliberate attempt to assassinate my character.It is now very clear that the EFCC is indeed playing out the script of persecuting and harassing perceived opposition groups in the country. To be sure, there is no basis for the EFCC so-called statement. Only on Tuesday, May 24, we appeared in court with the EFCC asking for the permission of the court for an extension of time in the preliminary objection to a suit filed against me. The Managing Director of Firmex Gill which the EFCC joined in their case indemnified me from the company's contracts and any such obligations. In other words, there is nothing relating to me in the company's contract deal with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA). The company has even sued the ONSA for its inability to pay the balance of the contract so awarded to it. Therefore, I am not aware of any issue relating to a contract sum of N700 million. There was no issue of N700 million anywhere. The relationship between the company and ONSA is civil and contractual, which has nothing to do with me. Besides, so long as their business transactions are legitimate and since I am not directly managing the company, how am I to know who and who they do business with? The EFCC should not be seen playing the role of political victimisation of innocent individuals, coercion and blackmail. Sadly that is simply what this organisation has been doing. Blackmail, I strongly believe, won't help EFCC. If the organisation and its leadership think they have any case against me, they should come to court with their facts. This act of blackmail and deliberate tarnishing the image of perceived political enemies won't help the image of the EFCC and it won't get it result. How can you declare someone you were in court with at 9.00a.m today wanted the same day, a few hours afterwards? I am appealing to all human rights and civil society organisations to caution EFCC from damaging my reputation further. If they have facts, I challenge them to bring them to court and not resort to blackmail, intimidation and victimisation. Signed: Senator Iyiola Omisore |

| Desmond Tutu's daughter loses South African church licence after her gay marriage Posted: 24 May 2016 09:52 AM PDT  Desmond Tutu's daughter, Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu-van Furth has been forced to give up her duties as a priest in South Africa's Anglican church after she married a woman, she told AFP today Mpho can no longer preside at holy communion, weddings, baptisms or funerals after handing in her licence because the church does not recognise gay marriage. She said her father, the retired archbishop and celebrated anti-apartheid campaigner, was "sad but not surprised" at the news. "The canon (law) of the South African Church states that marriage is between one man and one woman," Tutu-van Furth said in an email. "After my marriage... the Bishop of Saldanha Bay was advised that he must revoke my licence. I offered to return my licence rather than require that he take it from me." Mpho and Marceline Tutu-van Furth have been on honeymoon on the Indonesian island of Bali after holding a wedding party outside Cape Town earlier this month. Desmond Tutu, 84, who has been in frail health, attended the celebrations with his wife. He has previously spoken out in favour of gay marriage. Marceline Tutu-van Furth is an Amsterdam-based professor specialising in paediatric infections. The couple -- who are both divorced and have children -- officially tied the knot in the Netherlands in December. "My wife and I meet across almost every dimension of difference. Some of our differences are obvious; she is tall and white, I am black and vertically challenged," Mpho told the South African City Press newspaper. "Ironically, coming from a past where difference was the instrument of division, it is our sameness that is now the cause of distress," she said in a reference to apartheid. Senior local priest Bruce Jenneker told AFP that the Saldanha diocese had received Mpho's licence with "sadness". "It was a great pity that it had to happen," he added. |

| Shocked tourists who camped out at night - wake up to see Lions licking the outer part of their tent Posted: 24 May 2016 09:35 AM PDT  Francie Francisca Lubbe and her partner who were on holiday, set up a tent to pass the night in the Mabuasehube game reserve, Botswana. They did and woke up to the shock of their lives. It had rained overnight and when they opened their eyes in the morning, they saw a number of lionesses outside, licking the dew off the sides of their flimsy tent and also wandering about. They were able to stabilize themselves and remain calm and thankfully the two animals seemed more interested in licking the dew off the sides of their tent rather than attacking them.

| Troops comb Bayelsa creeks for militants who attacked Agip pipeline Posted: 24 May 2016 09:28 AM PDT  NSCDC operatives arrived at the area on speedboats and gunboats and moved to adjoining creeks to locate the whereabouts of suspects identified as Suoyou, Iyelawei and Fynboy. The suspects were said to have fled the community following the Sunday's attack on Agip's Tebidaba-Brass pipeline that passed through the area. The suspects allegedly destroyed the trunkline with dynamites causing massive fire and thick smoke that unsettled the community. One of the suspects was arrested by troops of NSCDC with support from the surveillance contractor and the community folks. Speaking on the incident in a statement, the Bayelsa State command of the NSCDC said its operatives were particularly mandated to find a suspected leader of the gang identified as Suoyou. The statement by the command's spokesman Dauzuo Izonfate, admitted that the arrested suspect was in their custody and would soon be arraigned and "diligently prosecuted". Izonfate said the ongoing operations in the creeks, particularly in Southern Ijaw, would surely lead the operatives to the hideout of the suspects adding that their identities and pictorial images had been known. He said: "We want to state that the suspect we arrested in connection with the attack on Agip pipeline at Ikienghenbiri in Southern Ijaw is in our custody. NSCDC, in its resolve to protect and secure the critical national assets in the state as mandated by our Commandant-General will arraign and diligently prosecute the suspect. We are on the trail of other suspects who are on the run and we will surely nab them. We thank the Ikienghenbiri community for their efforts in helping us tackle the menace of vandalism in the state. We are also appealing to other communities to toe a similar path in this collective war against pipeline vandalism, economic sabotage and environmental pollution". Izonfate warned aggrieved youths in the state to explore other peaceful means of expressing their demands instead of resorting in damaging critical national assets and polluting the environment. "We are fully committed, motivated and ever ready to protect our national assets and government property in the state", he said. |
