Eight persons were feared dead following an attack by suspected herdsmen, on two villages in Logo Local Government Area of Benue state, a Police statement said.

 The Spokesman of the Police Command in Benue, ASP Moses Yamu, confirmed the attacks in a statement on Monday in Makurdi.

 Yamu said the attacks on Akaa and Tse-Orlalu villages in Mbamar, Ugondo communities, were perpetrated by suspected herdsmen late on Sunday.

 He said that the police had yet to establish the motive for the attack and that adequate personnel had been drafted to the villages to restore normalcy.

 He said the attackers invaded the villages, killed eight people and injured many others.

 Meanwhile, an eye-witness on Monday said that the herdsmen came in from Taraba State through Abaji and Mbamar in Ugondo community,

 “They started first by attacking Akaa village before advancing to neighbouring Orlalu.’’

 The eye-witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that several villagers were still missing.

 Suspected herdsmen had attacked some communities in the past, including Agatu community, where 10 persons were killed.

 Meanwhile, efforts by security agencies and the state government are still ongoing to curtail the restive herdsmen and protect communities.

A woman has said that surgery for incontinence left her unable to have sex with her partner because her vagina ‘bit’ his penis. Theresa Bartram, 50, had the operation to lift her bladder using a plastic mesh, but it was fitted too low and eroded through her vaginal wall. Mrs Bartram, from Brighton, said that she had not had sex for seven years until she had the operation that involved the use of a plastic mesh sling called a transvaginal tape(TVT) to stop her leaking. She said that the sex was better until two years later in 2009.She said: ‘It was like it had grown teeth. His willy was bright red and spouting blood. There was a big red stain spreading between us on the sheets. ‘After that he was scared of my lady garden and approached it as if it was a Venus flytrap and he was a fly.’ She was adamant that that the injury was caused by the mesh but doctors assured her everything was fine. They avoided sex and six months later they split up. She stopped eating as her confi...

RISE IN BOKO HARAM CHILD SUICIDE BOMBERS ALARMING SAYS UNICEF

By

TERRORIST LEADER SHEKAU An “alarming” number of children, most of them girls, have been used by Boko Haram as suicide bombers in the first months of 2017, UNICEF said Wednesday. The Islamists have increasingly been using children to attack crowded markets, mosques and camps for internally displaced people in northeast Nigeria and the broader Lake Chad region. Experts said the number of children used in suicide attacks by Boko Haram surged to 27 in the first quarter of this year, compared to nine over the same period in 2016. Since 2014, 117 children — the “vast majority” of them girls — have been used to carry out attacks in public places across Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon, said the report by the United Nations children’s agency UNICEF. Four children were used to carry out bomb attacks in 2014, 56 in 2015, 30 in 2016 and 27 in the first three months of 2017, reported UNICEF. “The increase reflects an alarming tactic by the insurgents,” said the report. “This is the...

BIAFRA: Press Release  IPOB UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF NNAMDI KANU HAS BROUGHT A TRANSFORMATIONAL REVOLUTION THAT WILL ENSURE THE LIBERATION OF BIAFRA IN PARTICULAR AND ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLES OF NIGERIA IN NIGERIA The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has the undeniable recognition as the pacesetter in the current quest for the restoration of the nation of Biafra and liberation of all enslaved peoples currently trapped in the British-created monstrosity called Nigeria. For the records, Nigeria is a country created not by God but by a fellow human being and non-African called Frederick Luggard. As we all know, this is contrary to the laws of nature because the creation or emergence of a nation is only by divine providence through aggregation of social, religious and shared value systems, not by force or the dictates of one man.  Luggard's business-inspired creation we know today as Nigeria has made life unbearable for all peoples and intolerable...
