| Police corporal and pastor arrested for armed robbery, confesses to supplying arms to robbery gangs Posted: 30 Jun 2016 12:55 PM PDT  A police corporal who was recently arrested for armed robbery, confessed to having supplied arms and ammunition to robbery gangs in various states, including Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa states. Christ Oboko Onitsha Ugbo, was arrested after he allegedly led his gang on a series of robbery operations in some states in the Niger Delta region. He is currently being detained by the Inspector General of Police's Special Intelligence Response Team (IRT) According to Daily Trust, the 36-year-old, until his arrest was attached to a special squad code named C4I of the Rivers State Police Command and was also the resident pastor of a church at Choba, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Oboko, who has also been linked to several violent crimes in Bayelsa, Delta, Imo, Lagos and Edo state was said to have been deployed to C41 from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Rivers State Command, having distinguished himself as a sniper and crack detective. Prior to his arrest, the office of the immediate past IGP, Solomon Arase received series of complaints about the notorious activities of the gang and subsequently directed the leader of the Special Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari, to investigate the matter. Oboko was arrested following the arrest and confessions of one of his gang member identified as one Johnpaul Amandi. "Aside from supplying members of my gang with police rifles and bullets, I also help keep their guns in my house without the knowledge of my wife and children."Oboko confessed. "I joined the Nigeria Police Force in April 2003. I served at Borokiri Police Division, from there I went to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad SARS before joining C4I. I started car snatching in 2015 when I met Amandi, he was our informant. He lured me into robbery. I was only supplying them with arms. It all started when Amandi brought two vehicles. He gave them to one Victor Nwogu to sell. I met them doing the negotiation and from there, I offered to join them. "I robbed the driver of a Toyota Camry at D-line area of Port Harcourt and we took the car to Victor in Owerri, I sold the car to victor for N200,000. We were three and I took N70,000 and I gave Amandi and Kelvin the balance to share. On the second operation, the three of us went for the job at D-line and we stole three Camry cars from the park. We sold the vehicles to the same Victor in Owerri and he paid us N360,000. I got N150,000 as my share. "We also snatched a Toyota Corolla, from Elelanwan area at gunpoint from its owner and I took the car to Victor and he paid N250,000. I took N80,000 as my share and I gave the rest to Amandi and Kelvin to share. "We also snatched a Toyota Spider car at GRA from the owner at gun point and we parked it inside Borokiri sand field. But before we arrived in the morning the car had been removed," Lamenting, Oboko said, "I was always going to release them whenever they were arrested by the police and I don't know what came over me. I am the resident pastor of a church at Choba, in Port Harcourt. I don't know what made me join Amandi in his evil business." The out going Force Public Relations Officer, Assistant Commissioner of Police Bisi Kolawole, who paraded the suspect disclosed that he and members of his gang were terrorizing Port Harcourt. The gang members enjoyed full protection from Oboko, who bailed and defended them whenever they were arrested by the police. He provided fake vehicle documents for stolen vehicles and altered the vehicle engine and chassis numbers selling them, Ms Kolawole added. |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2016 12:44 PM PDT  According to Manchester Evening News, the man, who spoke with a foreign accent had asked the young men to stop using bad language as they were frightening other passengers.  The youths responded by hurling abuses at the man, telling his to "get back to Africa," Get off the tram now. Bro, I 'll waste you. I 'll waste anyone and Dont chat sh*t when you are not even from England, you little f***king immigrant" The man, whose nationality was not mentioned, asked how old the youth is, "18,19? I 've been here longer than you". The youths at one point flick the drink at the man, splashing him and several passengers. They were later chased off the tram, with passengers yelling at them, "You're a disgrace to England". Chief Inspector Gareth Parkin of Greater Manchester Police City said: "This is a disgusting display of abuse which quite frankly has no place in society. All hate incidents are treated with the utmost severity and this behaviour will not be tolerated in Greater Manchester." |

| Posted: 30 Jun 2016 12:23 PM PDT  Prof. Kahi said he offered to take the baby because he was crying and preventing the mother from sitting in class. He said his students were surprised, began to laugh and then took pictures. Some of those who shared the photos on social media showered him with praises, describing him as a hero. Mr Kahi, who teaches communications at Ivory Coast's Bouake University, said that women should not be discouraged by people's perceptions of what they should be able to do. "What prevails here is... male chauvinism, he said. and then quoted an ancient philosopher in his interview with BBC Afrique. "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare. It is because we do not dare that they are difficult.' In our environment we let ourselves be discouraged by others."He said that when he took the baby and tied him on his back he stopped crying and fell asleep, adding that he learned how to do it by observing how women carry their children. "In fact, men are able to do certain things, and usually it's the way society sees men that prevents them from doing these things."Source: BBC |

| Istanbul Airport suspected ISIS bombers were Uzbek, Russian, Kyrgyz - Turkish official Posted: 30 Jun 2016 09:46 AM PDT  The suicide bombers opened fire to create panic outside, before two of them got inside the terminal building and blew themselves up. The third detonated his explosives at the entrance. At least 239 people were wounded in the attack. According to Reuters, the Turkey official who confirmed the terrorists' nationalities, declined to be named because details of the investigation have not yet been released. Forensics teams had been struggling to identify the bombers from their limited remains, officials said earlier. "A medical team is working around the clock to conclude the identification process," one of the officials said.Interior Minister Efkan Ala told parliament that evidence continued to point to ISIS responsibility and that the death toll had risen to 43, of whom 19 were foreigners. Ala said the identity and nationality of one of the bombers had been determined but did not comment further. The pro-government Yeni Safak newspaper said the Russian bomber was from Dagestan, which borders Chechnya. Turkey's Hurriyet newspaper named him as Osman Vadinov and said he had come from Raqqa, the heart of Islamic State-controlled territory in Syria. The Russian interior ministry said it was checking information about Vadinov. A spokesman for Kyrgyzstan's state security service said it was investigating, while the Uzbek security service had no immediate comment. Source: Reuters |

| Ex-President Jonathan mourns Ojo Maduekwe, Elechi Amadi Posted: 30 Jun 2016 01:42 PM PDT  The former President who stated this in separate messages of condolence to the families of the deceased emphasised that both men made significant contributions to Nigeria's growth and development. Jonathan described Chief Maduekwe as "a nationalist, foremost administrator and intellectual giant who contributed so much to the task of nation building." In a statement issued by Mr. Ikechukwu Eze, the former President's media adviser, Jonathan stated further: "In service to fatherland, Maduekwe, at different times, held critical leadership positions where he made significant contributions to Nigeria's growth and the evolution of the nation's democracy. "He was urbane in his disposition to politics and was blessed with an uncommon clarity of mind and thought which he freely deployed in the search for answers to the nation's development challenges. "Whether as a lawyer, politician or diplomat, Maduekwe was deeply committed to the process of building national and international bridges, for which he will always be remembered." Speaking on the demise of the literary giant and renowned journalist, the former President said: "Amadi was a renowned writer and patriot who served his country meritoriously, through his literary works and exemplary performance in public service. "As an author, his works helped change the story of a continent, by rendering accurate accounts of profound African life and traditions as a counterpoise to inexact stereotypes. "A man of many parts, Amadi equally acquitted himself as a soldier, educator and dedicated administrator who was committed to the path of peace, unity and progress." |

Stepped outside of the hospital to clear my head because I was so scared, excited, anxious, nervous & over joyed at the fact that the day I had been waiting for was finally here... The day I'd get to meet my 1st born child. Then my sidekick rang & it was your grandmother telling me.. "He's coming, he's coming..... I remember running through the maternity ward full speed sweating down that long hallway begging God not to bring you into this world without me witnessing the gift given to me by him & your mother @aleskaj being born. It was amazing. Nothing like I ever dreamed & 10 times better feeling than my favorite moment in life which was the day your mother told me she was pregnant...... 1st your head, then Dr. Afework guiding the rest of your tiny body out into a world unknown by you.... A world that can be so fulfilling at times & all the same cruel at others.... But for you that wouldn't matter because as your father, I swore to protect, cherish, guide, care & love you from that day until the day comes that I must part ways with the earth.... For I have been given the blessing of being your father & to me there is no better gift in all of the world.... From the time you took your 1st step, to the day you lost your 1st tooth, to the day you rode your 1st bike I have been there to walk you through life as only a father should.....

| Photo: Man sentenced to 7 years imprisonment over Visa scam Posted: 30 Jun 2016 08:38 AM PDT  Idris was arrested by EFCC operatives following a complaint brought against him by Abdullahi Salisu Muhammad of popular kwari market, Kano, alleging that he gave the convict, who is a school teacher the sum of #500,000.00 for the processing of Hajj ticket in April, 2012. He said the convict told him that he is a registered travelling agent, but to his greatest surprise, was unable to provide the said Hajj ticket and diverted the funds to his personal use. All effort to recover the money from him or get the ticket as agreed proved abortive, as the convict claimed that the monies were lost to armed robbers. In the Judgement, Justice Omotosho convicted and sentenced the convict to seven years imprisonment. He however gave an option of #200,000.00 as fine, being that he restituted the victim the sum of #500,000.00 which is the amount involved |

| Sports minister Dalung rules out NFF's decision to appoint a foreign coach for Super Eagles Posted: 30 Jun 2016 08:46 AM PDT  The NFF had drawn up a list of foreign coaches to handle the Super Eagles but the sports minister has questioned the rationale behind this, describing it "a fundamental contradiction not easy to swallow". The minister however said that using local coaches was worthwhile if they could rise above parochial politics. "The selection of coach usually is handled by our technical team. We are a supervising ministry.' Dalung said, according to BusinessDay. ''We have little to do with the process but we have a role in guiding what is best for Nigeria. I have always maintained that if we cannot pay indigenous coaches, we still owe them some months of salaries, some of them have even died without those salaries. "Do we still go and look for foreign coach and will he be able to tolerate us without salaries for some time more also that we may also be paying him in hard currency? So, it is a fundamental contradiction to swallow easily but there is one aspect of this indigenous coaching that has been responsible for the poor performance of football in Nigeria which Nigerians need to know. "They have not been able to grow above their parochial sentiment. An example is that a coach will train a team, the team will qualify to go to the next stage, once it becomes international they will now submit a different list of people not the entire new people who qualified.This already has violated what is referred to as team spirit in football. A team that played is different from the one that is going. We have that crisis on our hands now, especially with the list of those who are going to Rio. "Those who qualified are fundamentally different from those that have been sent to go and play at the finals. So, some people are only good to go and qualify and create room for others to go. That is one of the problems with indigenous coaching,"Dalung said.Previous coaches of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh, the late Shuaibu Amodu and Stephen Keshi complained of being owed salaries at one point or the other during their tenure. |

| Photos: 13-year-old girl Jewish girl stabbed to death in her bedroom by a Palestinian terrorist Posted: 30 Jun 2016 08:13 AM PDT  She was at first listed in critical condition but later died of her wounds soon after the attack. The attacker identified as a 17-19-year-old Palestinian resident of the Arab village of Bani Na'im, broke into the closed community by breaching its fence. He entered a home nearby the fence, found the teenage girl sleeping in her bed and stabbed her repeatedly in the upper body before Kiryat Arba's Israeli guards shot the attacker dead but not before he managed to stab one civilian security officer in the face. A Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedic who arrived on the scene found the teenage girl, identified as eighth-grader Hallel Yaffe Ariel, unconscious and without a pulse. She was loaded into an ambulance but quickly succumbed to her wounds. The wounded civilian guard, 30, was reported to be conscious and his injuries non-life threatening. He was evacuated to Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Center. His wife, a paramedic, was part of the responding MDA team. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, in a statement, called on Palestinian leaders to condemn the attack. "The horrific murder of an innocent girl in her bed sheds light on the bloodlust and lack of humanity displayed by the terrorists we are facing," he saidMore photos...     |
