This woman was allegedly shot by the man that she is working in his house as a maid. The man named Jamilu (with a traditional title as Barden Kano) is said to be from a royal family in Kano but lives in Barnawa Area of Kaduna. In my attempt to know the story behind this photos. I spoke with a Lawyer/Activist in Kaduna who was following up this matter and this is what he said to me:
The man was taking an afternoon nap when his little daughter was crying. The cry woke him up and he asked after his wife and the wife was not in the house. He blamed the Nanny for leaving the daughter. So, he brought out two guns (long and short), aimed at the Nanny and fired her. As she managed to step out from the house but, she fell down as a result of amount of blood she was bleeding. The man came down to plead with her and decided to take her to the hospital. He then, quickly called one of the Community leader and told him what happened, the leader called the CP. Now, from all indications, the narrative is changing, the man is going round telling people that he was servicing his gun and the there was accidental discharge which shot at his maid. To cover up this issue, the Lawyer said Jamilu made offer to bribe his maid and the Community leader. THE WOMAN IS LYING HELPLESS IN THE HOSPITAL IN KADUNA.

Baghdad attacks kill 126 people, including 25 children; ISIS claims responsibility

Posted: 03 Jul 2016 01:47 PM PDT

A suicide car bomb killed 125 people, including 25 children, yesterday Saturday July 2nd, in a busy shopping district in Baghdad, the biggest mass slaughter of civilians in many years. And ISIS has claimed responsibility. Families had gathered in the popular area to break the Ramadan fast and watch the Euro 2016 soccer tournament in a cafe when a suicide car bomb exploded, ripping through a multi-level building that also housed stores and a gym. At least 147 were injured.

A second bomb exploded Sunday at an outdoor market in the Shaab neighborhood of southeastern Baghdad, killing one person and wounding five others, police said.

The attacks came just days after massacres at a cafe in Dhaka, Bangladesh and at the Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul, Turkey.

ISIS, also known as ISIL, acknowledged territorial losses to Iraqi forces in May as it promised an uptick in terror attacks during the holy month of Ramadan, which ends this week.

"I didn't abscond from my duty post" - Abia State Chief Judge T. Uzokwe

Posted: 03 Jul 2016 09:07 AM PDT

Chief Judge of Abia State, Justice Theresa Uzoamaka Uzokwe, has denied the allegations that she absconded from her duty post to avoid the swearing-in of Dr. Uche Ogah as Governor of the state last week. It was reported that the Chief Judge went missing after INEC followed Court orders and issued a certificate of return to Uche Ogah.

In a statement issued through Mrs. Vicky Analaba - Acting Chief Registrar of Abia State Judiciary, the Chief Judge refuted the allegations and cleared the air. The statement reads,

"The attention of the Chief Judge of Abia State, Justice Theresa Uzoamaka Uzokwe, has been drawn to various spurious and mischievous reports alleging that the Honorable Chief Judge had absconded from her duty post on Thursday 30th June 2016, to avoid swearing in Uche Ogah as Governor of Abia State. Contrary to the allegations of cowardice by mischievous politicians, the Chief Judge, was in her office throughout work time on Thursday 30 June 2016 from 8:30am till 4:30pm. For the avoidance of doubt, on Thursday 30th June 2016, the Chief Judge was in her court room performing her lawful duties, including the delivery of four rulings on that date.
The particulars of the ruling in question are: HU/35CM/2015 Francis Akor vs The State; HU/ICM/2016-Johnson Asiegbu vs. Commissioner OF Police, HU/42CM/2016-Onyekachi Samuel vs. Commissioner of Police; HU/34CM/2016-Lucky Sampson vs. The State.
These facts are verifiable and in the records of the court. The various lawyers who appeared in the respective suits listed above are also living witnesses. This press release has become necessary in order to avoid further mischief and to set the records straight."

Pot-bellied American Football star poses nude on the cover of ESPN

Posted: 03 Jul 2016 09:07 AM PDT

Two-time super bowl champion, Vince Wilfork, bared it all on the cover of ESPN's Body Issue. Speaking about his decision to let it all hang out the 34-year-old said:
'A lot of people look at me as a big person. Some people consider me to be obese. Some people consider me fat and sloppy. But I think this shoot will give people a different look at what I am. Everybody knows that I have a big stomach, but I think sometimes that overshadows everything else on my body - from my calves to my back to my shoulders to my biceps, you name it.
'What people go to the gym and work for, I have. The only thing I don't have that they got is six-packs. But I really don't care about six-packs.'


Wilfork also believes he can spread confidence.

'I just think it's a good idea for people that are bigger-boned. If people can look at me, a guy that's 325-plus, doing an issue like this, I'm pretty sure that they might have a little confidence.
'There will be critics, just like with everything else. I think a lot of people will get a laugh out of it, I'll tell you that. I'm looking forward to what the locker room's going to say. But at the end of the day, I'm perfectly fine with who I am as a person and what I have accomplished. It shows a lot of my personality.'

Photos: Dhaka terrorists identified, all allegedly from affluent families and went to good schools

Posted: 03 Jul 2016 08:52 AM PDT

Six armed men stormed into the Holey Artisan Bakery situated in a diplomatic area of Dhaka and killed  20 people, all foreigners. The gunmen were also killed at the end of the 11-hour siege and one was captured alive. Around 30 people were injured and 13 of the hostages rescued.

According to SITE Intel Group, the Islamic State has released names and pictures of the terrorists. All the attackers were students of Dhaka's North South University. According to reports, they were in their early 20s and also seem to be from affluent families and went to good schools.

Terrorism monitoring group Terror Monitor also published the men's photos and identified the attackers as Abu Omar, Abu Salmah, Abu Rahim, Abu Muslim and Abu Muharib al-Bengali.

On the other hand, Bangladesh Home Minister HM Asaduzamman told the media that the terrorists involved in the attack were members of a local group called Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). He also added that these local terrorists tried to contact ISIS.

Meanwhile, a survivor of the massacre recounted on Sunday, July 3 how he spent the night being literally sick with fear as he listened to the haunting screams of diners being hacked to death.

The employee at the Holey Artisan Bakery, a Western-style cafe in Dhaka's upmarket Gulshan neighbourhood, said his life was spared by the gang of hostage-takers because he was a Muslim.

But speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, he said he had doubted that he would ever emerge alive from the 11-hour ordeal which began at around 9pm on Friday night.

"They burst the restaurant firing their weapons and I could hear them shouting Allahu Akbar," he said. "They took me and two of my colleagues and forced us to sit on chairs, with our heads down on the table.

"They asked me whether I was a Muslim. As I said yes, they said they wouldn't harm or kill any Muslims. They will only kill the non-Muslims. All the time I prayed to Allah, keeping my head down. Several times I vomited.

"They warned us not to raise our heads but at one point I raised my head slightly and saw a bloodied body on the floor."

"I think the killing took place immediately after they entered the restaurant," said the employee. "We heard a lot of screaming and cries and firing in the first few minutes. After that there was a long pause. Around midnight we heard some fresh gunfire and then there was a lull."

"There was no electricity but I could still see some of our Bangladeshi guests sitting like us at another table. Everyone was silent. Late in the night, they asked us whether we were fasting as it's Ramadan. We said yes and they brought some food for us so we could eat before daybreak. I only managed to eat a little bit and drank some water.

"I saw them carrying guns and machetes all the time during the siege. They walked from one room to another. They never sat down. When they realised that troops might storm the building, they came to our room one last time and told us not to tarnish the name of Islam, be a good Muslim and uphold the pride of Islam.

"They said they had no intention of hurting us as we were Muslims. Then they left the room and we heard a lot of firing. A few minutes later, everything stopped. I raised my head and went to the bathroom. Then the troops came and brought us out. I never believed that I would see another day. Those hours were the longest in my life."
