11 long days in kidnappers’ den January 29, 2017 Life and Living When some staff and students of the Turkish International College in Ogun State were kidnapped, they never bargained for the physical and emotional trauma they went through not with the huge ransom demanded by their kidnappers. OLUYINKA OLUKOYA reports the whole kidnap saga. WITHIN the past five months, kidnappers had abducted several students in schools across Lagos State, including the adjoining Ogun State. Two schools, privately- owned Babington Macauley Girl’s College, Ikorodu and the government-owned, Model College, in Lagos, had been visited by the hoodlums. The most recent attack was on Nigerian-Turkish International College (NTIC), located in a swampy area of Isheri/Ifo Local Government of the state. Just like the earlier abductions, there was a media frenzy surrounding it more so because of the very high ransom demanded by the kidnappers. Following public interest in the criminal act, secur
NSCDC operatives File The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) said it discovered an illegal refinery in a rented apartment in Sokoto state. The NSCDC Commandant in the state, Babangida Dutsin-ma, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Sokoto. Dutsin-ma said the commandant's surveillance team discovered the "mini refinery" located in a rented apartment owned by a popular Sokoto businessman, along Bodinga road in the outskirt of Sokoto metropolis. "The NSCDC anti-vandal team on surveillance detected the centre in which those involved in the adulteration dug a big hole using a large tank in perpetrating the act. "The ditch is connected to a transformer from which they tap electricity for heating the adulterated products,'' he said. The commandant said that the perpetrators of the act fled the scene on sighting NSCDC officials in the area. He, however, said that the officials confiscated some of the e

THE FIRST LADY CARRYING THE BABY Following the shocking story of a little toddler being raped in Kano, the wife of the President and the Emir of Kano have paid a visit to the innocent victim. The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, and the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, on Saturday, condemned the rape of a six-month-old baby, stressing that the culprit must be made to face the music. The infant, who is now eight months old, was allegedly violated by 30-year-old Muktakar Muhammad, assisted by his wife. Mrs. Buhari, who paid the baby a visit at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano State, described the rape case as man’s inhumanity to man. She also commended the Kano State Government for taking measures to save the life of the minor. The Emir of Kano, who visited the hospital earlier, urged security agencies and the state government to ensure that the culprits were brought to book. The monarch consoled the parents of the baby and promised that the Emirate Council wo

SHERIFF IS A CONTRACTOR BROUGHT INTO PDP DURING OUR TRYING TIME 29th Feb 2017, February 27 2017 Emeka Ihedioha, a former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, has described Ali Modu Sheriff as a contractor invited to help the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during its low point. He said Sheriff’s contract had long expired and that he has nothing to contribute to the opposition party’s development. Ihedioha told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt on Monday that Sheriff by his conduct had failed to show an attitude worthy of uniting and strengthening the party. According to him, the conduct, actions, language and temperament displayed by Sheriff has succeeded in planting disunity amongst members. “His utterances after the Appeal Court judgment in Port Harcourt created division in the party rather than unit members, this showed that he is not interested in the progress of our party,” he said. “Sheriff has nothi
The Police in Lagos have warned residents of the state against subjecting suspected criminals to jungle justice. Fatai Owoseni, the state police commissioner, in a statement on Friday warned that those found involved in the "unlawful and barbaric act" would be prosecuted. "There is no justification for jungle justice on suspected persons," Mr. Owoseni said. "It is barbaric and uncivilized. It is a manifestation of the erosion of our moral values and a disregard to sanctity of human lives. It violates the rule of law and dents the image of the State. "Above all, it is a violation of the law, and all those arrested in connection with the aforementioned cases will be made to face the full wrath of the law." At least three acts of jungle justice were recorded across Lagos in the past one week, with angry residents threatening to attack security agents who attempted to stop them. On Tuesday, two alleged kidnappers were set ablaze at Ajala Bus St
If President Trump's relationship with his former ally Senator Bob Corker was frayed before, it now appears to be ruptured completely. The two Republicans reignited their feud on Tuesday after the president did not take kindly to Corker's criticism of his leadership and his suggestion that Trump "stay out" of congressional negotiations over a tax bill. In a trio of television interviews, the increasingly outspoken Tennessee senator repeated his dim assessment of Trump's performance and went further than he—or any elected Republican—has gone in questioning the president's fitness for office. Calling Trump "an utterly untruthful president," Corker said he was not a role model for the nation's children and declared unequivocally that he would not support him for reelection in 2020. "He's obviously not going to rise to the occasion as president," Corker said on CNN. He accused Trump of "constant non-truth telling" and said he
