| Leader of suspected kidnappers of Sierra Leonean envoy say they collected N1.5m ransom Posted: 12 Jul 2016 01:33 PM PDT  According to leader of the group Yusuf, a ransom of N1.5 million was received from the Sierra Leonean embassy but the police caught up with them after they collected the ransom. When asked how the gang members came about the military camouflage they were using for the criminal operation and the AK 47 rifles which looked exactly like military weapons, the gang leader said one Musa who provided it for them was killed in a shootout with the police. The suspected kidnappers are Rabiu Yusuf, Garba Abubakar, Yusuf Adamu, Hussaini Musa, Shuaibu Idris, Usman Bello, Musa Ali, Muhammadu Abubakar, Suleiman Abubakar, Gambo Ibrahim and Balarabe Mohammadu.       |
| Did Dino Melaye really threaten to beat Remi Tinubu? Posted: 12 Jul 2016 12:56 PM PDT  "Shortly after that, Senator Dino Melaye (APC Kogi West) said in his remarks that the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, must be brought before the Senate to be thoroughly grilled and humiliated for charging the Senate leadership with forgery in court. Mr. Melaye called on the Senators in attendance to fight the presidency to a standstill. In his rant, he issued a wide variety of threats. Recognized to speak, Senator Remi Tinubu (APC) Lagos Central said the Senate should not be reduced to a kindergarten where Senators could just issue childish threats, and called on Senators to close ranks and seek reconciliation amongst its members. That was when Melaye flew into rage, calling her names. "I will beat you up on this floor and nothing will happen," he threatened. The statement caused a commotion on the floor as Senators in her support gathered to protect her. Senate Presient Saraki nodded as Melaye called mrs. Tinubu unprintable names according to Senators who intervened to save her from the rampaging Melaye. Leading the offensive in support of Melaye were Senators Danjuma Goje, Jibrin Barau, Isa Misau and Peter Nwaoboshi. A source told SaharaReporters there had been a series of meetings at the home of Senator Aliyu Wamakko (APC, Sokoto) to plot a total onslaught on President Buhari in the coming days. In addition, the Senators held to be behind the current forgery trial were threatened by the like-minded Senators, with Melaye threatening to kill anyone who shows up in court to testify against Saraki and Ekweremadu. The rancor between the Senate and the Presidency is expected to escalate leading to a summons to the new Inspector General of Police who will be forced to declare AGF Malami wanted if he refuses to show up at the Senate from there it was gathered that Senators opposed to Buhari would start impeachment proceedings against him. Senators who spoke to SaharaReporters said the Senators supporting Saraki are united in crime and corruption because they've never had it so good, with over N260 billion padded into the budget in constituency projects, and sundry line items smuggled into the 2016 budget for their individual benefit. There is, however, a seeming crack in Saraki's camp as some members have already pulled out or reduced their open support for him due to his many scandals. Senator Ali Ndume (APC) Borno South, for instance, has fallen out with the Senate President because he was openly accused of being too close to Buhari and nursing the ambition of becoming the Senate President. Ndume was absent from today's gathering. |
| President Buhari appoints co-convener of BBOG, Hadiza Bala Usman as MD of NPA Posted: 12 Jul 2016 12:45 PM PDT  They are: Mohammed Bello-Koko (Finance), Professor Idris Abubakar (Engineering) and Dr. Sekonte Davies (Marine Operations). 40 year old Hadiza Bala takes over from Habib Abdullahi.

| EFCC conducting investigation by 'trial and error' – Fayose Posted: 12 Jul 2016 09:58 AM PDT  Ekiti State Government has said that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has promoted its vendetta against opponents of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Mohammadu Buhari, especially the State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose to the level that the anti-corruption agency was now carrying out investigations by trial and error.The government disclosed that "officials of the EFCC stormed a popular Guest House on Gana Street, Maitama, Abuja today to seal off the property believing that Governor Fayose owned the Guest House only for the EFCC officials to be confronted with the fact that operator of the Guest House leased the property from its owner for ten years." In a statement signed by the Special Assistant the State Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the government said it was only in Nigeria that anti-corruption agency will first arrest suspect first before looking for evidences to prosecute the suspect. The statement read; "Today, the EFCC demonstrated that it has been lying against Governor Fayose and other Nigerians all along by the failed attempt it made to seal off a property located on Gana Street, Maitama, Abuja that is being used as Guest House just because the governor used to lodge there. "It was at the point of sealing off the property that the owner of the Guest House told the EFCC officials that he only leased the property for ten years from its owner, a former Chief of Defence Staff, who was also a one-time Minister of Defence. "The EFCC operatives moved to the next building to the Guest House, which is the residence of the retired army general and they were told by the general's wife that the building being used as Guest House as well the one next to it belonged to the general and not Governor Fayose. "It is shocking that in its desperate bid to nail Governor Fayose so as to satisfy their paymasters, EFCC is going about claiming that properties owned by other law abiding Nigerians are owned by the governor and the result of this investigation by trial and error by the EFCC is the embarrassment it faced at Gana Street, Maitama, Abuja when its operatives went there to seal off a property belonging to a retired army general thinking that it belonged to the governor. "That was the same way they told Nigerians that they discovered mansion in Asokoro, Abuja owned by the governor. Unknown to the EFCC, the mansion being referred to is a property rented by the Ekiti State Government and being used as Governor's Lodge." While insisting that whatever properties owned by Governor Fayose were acquired thorough legitimate means, the government said like every other Nigerians, the governor reserved the rights to own properties and can also receive money from people to fund his election. |

| Finally revealed! The permanent cure for Type II diabetes Posted: 12 Jul 2016 09:47 AM PDT  Most Diabetics are not comfortable with the conventional drugs they take because they would have to live with it for the rest of their lives. It is so because their drugs only dilute the sugar content in the blood but does not correct the anomaly in the body system that leads to Diabetes. www.soundhealthoption.com Our natural miracle cure re-engineers/re-wires the body system and reactivates the hormone in the body called pancreas, which in turn produces sufficient insulin for the body. It therefore sustains this correction and makes the patient bid Diabetes farewell. www.soundhealthoption.com It is better to take care of it ASAP because the complications associated with Diabetes are deadly and paralytic. People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing a number of serious health problems. Consistently high blood glucose levels can lead to serious diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves and teeth. In addition, people with diabetes also have a higher risk of developing infections. In almost all high-income countries, diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limbamputation. Click here to find out more: www.soundhealthoption.com Maintaining blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol at or close to normal can help delay or prevent diabetes complications. Therefore people with diabetes need regular monitoring. *Cardiovasculardisease: affects the heart and blood vessels and may cause fatal complications such as coronary artery disease (leading to heart attack) and stroke. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in people with diabetes. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood glucose and other risk factors contribute to increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications. Click here to find out more: www.soundhealthoption.com *Kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy): caused by damage to small blood vessels in the kidneys leading to the kidneys becoming less efficient or to fail altogether. Kidney disease is much more common in people with diabetes than in those without diabetes. Maintaining near normal levels of blood glucose and blood pressure can greatly reduce the risk of kidney disease. Click here to find out more: www.soundhealthoption.com *Nerve disease (diabetic neuropathy): diabetes can cause damage to the nerves throughout the body when blood glucose and blood pressure are too high. This can lead to problems with digestion, erectile dysfunction, and many other functions. Among the most commonly affected areas are the extremities, in particular the feet. Nerve damage in these areas is called peripheral neuropathy, and can lead to pain, tingling, and loss of feeling. Loss of feeling is particularly important because it can allow injuries to go unnoticed, leading to serious infections and possible amputations. People with diabetes carry a risk of amputation that may be more than 25 times greater than that of people without diabetes. However, with comprehensive management, a large proportion of amputations related to diabetes can be prevented. Even when amputation takes place, the remaining leg and the person's life can be saved by good follow-up care from a multidisciplinary foot team. People with diabetes should regularly examine their feet. Click here to find out more: www.soundhealthoption.com *Eye disease (diabetic retinopathy): most people with diabetes will develop some form of eye disease (retinopathy) causing reduced vision or blindness. Consistently high levels of blood glucose, together with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, are the main causes of retinopathy. It can be managed through regular eye checks and keeping glucose and lipid levels at or close to normal. Click here to find out more: www.soundhealthoption.com *Pregnancy complications: Women with any type of diabetes during pregnancy risk a number of complications if they do not carefully monitor and manage their condition. To prevent possible organ damage to the fetus, women with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes should achieve target glucose levels before conception. All women with diabetes during pregnancy, type 1, type 2 or gestational should strive for target blood glucose levels throughout to minimize complications. High blood glucose during pregnancy can lead to the foetus putting on excess weight. This can lead to problems in delivery, trauma to the child and mother, and a sudden drop in blood glucose for the child after birth. Children who are exposed for a long time to high blood glucose in the womb are at higher risk of developing diabetes in the future. Would you like to get a perpetual cure?

| Important things to do before going for fibroid surgery, you cannot afford to ignore it Posted: 12 Jul 2016 09:35 AM PDT   What our product does is to balance these hormones. Once these hormones are balanced, there will be no growth of new fibroids and the already existing ones will start to shrink naturally with time because they will no longer be getting their nutrient from the source, and that will be by the help of our products. And there is nothing to fear because our products will only balance the excess estrogen and progesterone level and not stop the production completely. Even if you don't believe that our product can eliminate fibroid, there is a need to bring down excess estrogen and progesterone level to normal with natural products not drugs before undergoing surgery. Furthermore, why it's more better to control these hormones with natural supplements than drugs is because, drugs will only bring it down without dealing with the cause, that is by controlling the problem (manage), but our products addresses it from the root cause, by correcting the problem and giving you your health and fitness back completely. It is better to address natural issues with natural solutions. It is important to make it clear that estrogen in females are very important for ovulation but in a little quantity as excess of it is what leads to other complications of which one of it is the growth of Fibroids i've been hammering on.

| Alleged forgery: Senate threatens to order arrest of AGF, Abubakar Malami Posted: 12 Jul 2016 09:30 AM PDT  According to The Nation, the aggrieved senate members threatened to invoke necessary legislative powers including issuing an arrest warrant to drag Malami to appear before it. The resolution followed explanation by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Senator David Umaru, on the circumstances surrounding the failure of Malami to honour the invitation of his committee. Malami who was billed to appear before the senate last week, sent in a representative, the Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution attached to the Federal Ministry of Justice, Okoi Obono-Obla, who had a mild confrontation with the senators. Obono-Obla at the meeting, told the senators that they lacked the powers to summon Malami as he, Malami, reports only to President Buhari and not the legislatures. The angry senators later walked Obla out of the meeting. Senator Umaru while briefing the Senators on the outcome of the meeting, said "The resolution of the Senate was for the committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters to invite the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice to appear before it and explain the reason behind attempts to prefer charges against the principal officers of this hallowed chamber. In line with the directive, we invited the Honourable Attorney General, first on the 23rd of June and on that date he did not appear but a letter was received by our committee to the effect that he needed more time to articulate its position and that he was out of the country. The committee obliged him, we scheduled another meeting for the 30th of June, on that day, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice did not appear before the committee. However, somebody who claimed to be Mr. Oblar appeared to say that he was appearing on behalf of the minister. The committee therefore told him that he was not an invitee and that we will not attend to him and we asked him to leave. I have being informed by Senator Ita Enag (Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters) and I have received lots of attempts to reach me by the Hon. Attorney General. Senator Ita Enag have informed me that the Attorney General regrets his inability to respond to our petition and that he requests time to appear before us. I think it is important for the distinguished colleagues to be informed about this development and for us to request for more time to give him the opportunity to appear since he has indicated his willingness to appear before the committee."Saraki who did not allow debate of the matter, insisted that the AGF must appear before the committee in line with the resolution of the Senate. He added they would have no choice than to follow strictly what the Constitution dictates if the AGF failed to honour the Senate. "We all heard the explanation of the chairman Judiciary. What he is trying to get across to us here is to tell us the status of the situation because what we have been reading in the papers was of great concern where the number one judicial officer of the country will be the one that will be flouting the Constitution. Section 89 (c) of the Constitution is very clear. But it appears from what you are saying that the Attorney General is requesting for one more chance to be given to appear before you. The Senate is always in the progress of development; as such we will do that and ensure that he does come this time. Otherwise, we will have no choice than to follow the constitution strictly. So, you will report back to us before the end of the week to let us know the status of that situation. If that does not happen, we will go ahead and go in line with the Constitution very clearly."he said |

| Drunk & vomitting: Lamar Odom removed from a Delta Airline flight Posted: 12 Jul 2016 09:11 AM PDT 
 Ten minutes later, Lamar suddenly reappeared and walked down the aisle -- with vomit still on his sweatpants -- and took his seat again. Minutes later, we're told Lamar got up and went back to the bathroom, using the heads of people in their seats to steady his balance. One of the passengers then told the flight attendant, "Don't you know his history? I don't want a dead body at 30,000 feet." Lamar was again removed from the plane and the flight took off, arriving to NYC 40 minutes late. |

| CCT adjourns Senate President Bukola Saraki's trial Posted: 12 Jul 2016 08:53 AM PDT  A statement by the CCT spokesperson Ibraheem Al-Hassan, says the decision to adjourn all hearing was taken due to the ongoing Roundtable Discussion involving CCT and other critical stakeholders within and outside the country, to develop the Code of Ethics and Practice Directions for the Code of Conduct Tribunal to ensure fair and speedy trials, sponsored by European Union (EU) and implemented by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, (UNODC). The statement adds that Justice Umar assures litigants currently with cases before the court, that they would have their new dates shortly after the vacation in September and the new dates would be communicated to them appropriately. |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2016 08:56 AM PDT  "The amendment is straight forward but it needs some clear explanation. The amendment seeks to strengthen the national assembly. The leadership should be protected in the period they are in office."His opinion was immediately countered by the majority leader of the house, Femi Gbajabiamila, who argued that since the Senate was presently having some issues, discussing a bill on immunity clause for National Assembly members is ill timed. "We must feel the pulse of the people. There is something about timing, timing in any piece of legislation is important. There are issues in the senate and I pray it's resolved."he saidAt this point the house became rowdy. After calm was restored, the speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, said the bill would be sent to the special committee on constitutional review for proper scrutiny. He however passed the bill for second reading. |
