BENUE GOVERNOR DENIES BEEN BEHIND IMPORTED CONTAINER OF SNAKES,FROGS,SPIDERS AND GECKOS

By

The Benue State government has denied the reports alleging that the consignments containing snakes intercepted by the Nigeria Customs in Calabar belongs to Governor Samuel Ortom.

It described it as another desperate smear campaign by members of the opposition.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Terver Akase Mr Akase said the report published on social media by some opposition elements had once more brought to the fore the sponsored publications to attack the person of the Governor in order to distract him from continued delivery of good governance to the people of the state.

According to him, the original report on the interception of the consignments‎ did not name the owner of the containers.

"That report on the intercepted consignments in Calabar which was skewed and published on facebook by opposition members in Benue State is proof that most of these young men who call themselves opposition on social media are bereft of any idea to help develop their state.

"The cacophony of ridiculous lies they posted claiming that Governor Ortom is the owner of the intercepted consignments is not only false; it is also shameful", the CPS stated.

Mr Akase said Governor Ortom "has led a revolution in agriculture with numerous initiatives to make the state live the true meaning of its status as the food basket of the nation since he assumed the leadership of Benue State but snake farming is not part of the agriculture programme of the state."

The Chief Press Secretary stressed that even in his private capacity, Governor Ortom does not own a snake farm and will never encourage anyone to go into the business.

WE HAVE TRACED $487.5M, N47.2BN IN CASH AND PROPERTIES TO MRS DIEZANI ALISON-MADUEKE

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it had so far, through painstaking investigations by its operatives, traced N47.2bn and $487.5m in cash and properties to a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke. These, the anti-graft agency said, were apart from "boxes of gold, silver and diamond jewellery, worth several million British pounds sterling," discovered during a search of Diezani's palatial residences in Abuja. The EFCC said it discovered several of Diezani's landed properties scattered all over Lagos and other parts of the country in the course of its investigations, adding that it was doubtful if the former minister declared her true assets as required of public officials. This was contained in an article entitled, "Diezani Alison-Madueke: What an appetite," jointly authored by two officers in the EFCC's Public Affairs Directorate, Tony Orilade and Aishah Gambari, and which was made available to The PUNCH.

KILLER DUBBED "A KNOWN HANNIBAL LECTER" SET TO PLEAD GUILTY

Casey Pigge is shown in an undated photo provided by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. An investigative report by the Dayton Daily News has found that the strangulation of an inmate on an Ohio prison bus by Pigge, a twice convicted murderer, was preventable. After Casey Pigge was taken into custody last year for using a brick to kill his cellmate by repeatedly smashing his head, he made one thing clear to investigators. "Pigge denied any desire to be a serial killer, but could not promise that he wouldn't kill again," a prison social worker said after interviewing him. On Feb. 1, just two days after pleading guilty to beating cellmate Luther Wade to death, Pigge was placed in a prison transport van with several other inmates. As the bus headed south through Pickaway County in central Ohio, investigators say, Pigge used a chain meant to restrain him around the stomach to strangle inmate David Johnson. "I guess you never seen that on a bus before,...
