Police Man Kills 'Yahoo Boy' After Pocketing Parts of N8 Million Bounty A policeman has allegedly killed one Bashiru Ayedun for protesting against the arrest of his colleague who successfully duped an unsuspecting client of N8million in the ancient city of Ile-Ife, Osun State. During the weekend, Ayedun was said to have joined other friends to celebrate with the alleged scammer who raked in the N8million before policemen stormed the scene to arrest him. However, the deceased met his death while leading others in a protest against the arrest. An eyewitness, who gave the account of the mayhem under anonymity, said that the youths protested because the police took part of the loots and still went ahead to arrest the internet fraudster.

Buhari May Return To The UK For Further Treatment In Three Weeks March 10th, 2017 In a clear indication that President Muhammadu Buhari’s return earlier today from London was premature and motivated by political pressure from some of his closest associates, Presidency and medical sources have told Saharareporters that the ailing Nigerian leader is set to return to the United Kingdom in three weeks to continue treatment for an undisclosed illness.
