16 DOCKED FOR MURDER OF AN AMERICAN BASED BIZMAN

By

SIXTEEN persons have been docked before an Akure Chief Magistrate Court, in Ondo State over the murder of a United States of America, USA-based business man, Banji Adafi, who was killed in his Nigerian home.

The suspects were arraigned before the court for armed robbery and murder.

But a twist was introduced to the matter when the Police Prosecutor, Martins Olowofeso asked the Court to release five of the suspects for fresh investigation following new findings by them.

The Prosecutor said sequel to the petition from the family of the victim, Banji Adafi , alleging foul play in his death they requested for further investigation and the Police would want the case to be reinvestigated.

The lawyer from the office of the DPP, Mr A Bamisile, opposed the application on the premise that the Police ought to have come with written application instead of the oral application moved by the prosecutor.

However, pleas of the accused persons were not taken as the court ordered the case file to be duplicated and sent to Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.

Emphasising that Lamido was charged with disturbing public peace and inciting public disturbance, Ekpunobi argued that the allegations were contrary to the provisions of the Criminal Code of Jigawa State. However, Lamido’s counsel, Felix Osimerah, quoting Section 36, sub-section 5 of the 1999 Constitution, argued that Lamido should be presumed innocent even as he stressed that the offences were bailable.

KEMI OLUNLOYO IS A BULLY - SEYI LAW

Seyi and Tiwaloluwa. Photo credit: Instagram Popular Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has called Kemi Olunloyo a bully over her social media rants about his less than-one-year-old daughter, Tiwa. The comedian told Sunday Scoop that it is a blessing to have a child whose only concern is getting vaccinated monthly with no health complications. "This is just a case of a person who has refused to seek help. It is obvious that Kemi has decided to bully my daughter. Bullies usually fight people who are within their age bracket and people who have the same body size as them. For her to attack my daughter only means that she is unwell. Who bullies a young child? Never have I seen someone her age bully a child as young as my daughter who is barely a year old," he said. "I have decided to ignore her rants. She also made some obnoxious claims about my daughter's health. But when you're a man that wakes up every day, knowing the only reason your daughter visits the hospital is to ...

By

Sule Lamido, the former governor of Jigawa state, has attributed his arrest and perceived persecution to his desire to run for president in 2019. This was disclosed by his chief press secretary, Umar Kyari, in a chat with The Vanguard on Monday. He said the current state governor, Mohammed Badaru is “scared stiff ” of Lamido’s ambition and clout and “raised a false alarm” as his party might lose the local elections slated for July 1. “But it is rather too late for anyone to stop Lamido from achieving his political ambition come 2019 since the people have already seen that he has what it takes to rule Nigeria and lift it out of the woods.” Lamido, according to the Force public relations officer (PRO), Moshood Jimoh, was arrested and is being investigated after the “state government complained against his directive to his supporters to cause trouble and we had to wade in.” Meanwhile, the Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded...

IS THIS THE MAN WITH THE WORST JOB WORLD WIDE?SEE PHOTOS

By

Diving down into a hole of sludge with his bare hands, spare a thought for this poor sewer cleaner in Bangladesh who has one of the world’s least desirable jobs. The man, who is an employee of the Dhaka City Corporation, has to unblock the city’s sewer lines without any proper safety equipment. He often has to go dig around underground with only a long stick to help him and with no mask to protect him from the poisonous fumes the sewage emits. Scooping out liquid filth with his bare hands, the hardy worker has the thankless task of clawing out blockages in the bustling Bangladeshi capital. Dhaka has a population in excess of 14 million and has recently been hit by major floods caused by heavy rains and an insufficient storm drainage system. Despite the alarming rise in the number of deaths of manhole workers, cleaners are still not supplied with sufficient equipment and regularly have to enter the dirty sludge topless. More Photos:

  God's Provision   A daily devotion for April 9th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Genesis 1:29-31       Then God said,  I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food  (Genesis 1:29).       The point of this whole narrative is that God has made a marvelously complete provision for His creation. The world of nature is full of the most astonishing evidences of the care of God. How is it that certain birds can fly with an unerring instinct halfway around the world and find a tiny pinpoint of land in the middle of the ocean, though this is the first time they have made the flight? How is it that bees can maintain the temperature of their hive within a variation of a few degrees, regardless of whether it is a hot summer's day or a cold winter's morning...
