The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has revealed that kidnapper Evans will be charged to court soon. According to Idris, the delay in Evans' prosecution is due to police investigations to track down his accomplices within and outside the country. Idris who spoke at a seminar recently said, "Evans will be charged to court very soon. This is a man who has over the years been involved in kidnapping, collecting money in millions of dollars and harassing Nigerians from different parts of the country. "What we are doing now is to ensure that we conduct thorough investigations so that anybody involved will be brought to book. "It seems kidnapping is becoming attractive to the youth.

Dr. Ekaete Umoh, its Medical Officer, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Minna that the victims were boys and girls aged between 12 and 15.

In some cases, they refuse to appear. When they choose to appear, they withhold information that is crucial to nailing the perpetrators," she said.

A traditional ruler in Ekiti State and the Olukere of Ikere Ekiti, Oba Ganiyu Obasoyin, has commended the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, for promoting Yoruba culture in and outside Nigeria. Obasoyin said Oba Ogunwusi has done the Yoruba nation proud with his recent visits to the United Kingdom in attempts to promote its tradition and culture with the intention to take the race to the global reckoning as a richly endowed entity. The Olukere also pleaded with his rival monarch and Ogoga of Ikere Ekiti, Oba Adejimi Adu, to give peace a chance by stopping inciting the public against him that he was not a recognised monarch contrary to the history of the town. The monarch lauded the state council of traditional rulers for setting up a committee to probe his status as a monarch in the history of his town, rather than a chief priest being arrogated to him by his rival, saying the prompt presentation of the council's report would fast-track the presentation of staff of office to

wanda's incumbent president and now president-elect, Paul Kagame at one of his campaign grounds. The United States has frowned at the way the Rwanda Presidential Election was conducted on Friday, saying that the poll was characterised by "irregularities". This was made known in a statement issued on Saturday by the U.S. Department of State, Heather Nauert. Rwanda's incumbent president, Paul Kagame won a third term in office in the election, garnering about 98 percent of votes cast. Nauert said in the statement that U.S. is "disturbed by irregularities observed during voting and reiterated long-standing concerns over the integrity of the vote-tabulation process. He said, "we remain concerned by the lack of transparency in determining the eligibility of prospective candidates. "We hope the new electoral law to be debated in the next session of Parliament will clarify that process well before the 2018 parliamentary elections." He said the U.S. has, ho

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe Zimbabwe's main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has re-united with his former allies to forge a coalition to end President Robert Mugabe's near four-decade hold on power in elections next year. Mugabe, in power since independence from British colonial rule in 1980, has been endorsed as his party's candidate for next year's vote despite his advanced age at 93 and signs of failing health. At a rally in the capital, the opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader Tsvangirai told supporters he was joining forces with two former deputies to face down Mugabe's ZANU-PF party. "For everything else to happen we have to unite as opposition parties," Tsvangirai said. "We have travelled this journey together and we will complete it together. We are rising above this needless and unhealthy competition." In 2008, Tsvangirai beat Mugabe in the first round of voting, but lost in a run-off marred by violence and intimidat

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State on Saturday raised the alarm that herdsmen from neighbouring countries had concluded plans to unleash terror on Benue Valley. Ortom, who raised the alarm at NSKT Church in Taraku, Gwer Local Government Area, during the burial of Mama Atese Rebecca, called on the Christian Association of Nigeria in the state to keep interceding. The governor, while hosting the country representative of the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees, Edward Kallon, a few weeks ago, had noted that over 1,878 Benue residents were killed while 200 persons were still missing as a result of herdsmen attacks in the last three years. He added that 750 persons were critically injured and over 99,427 households had been affected in the attacks with property worth billions of naira destroyed. An anti-grazing law was enacted recently by the state government, following herdsmen attacks on Benue farmers, which were said to have peaked during the dry season. Ortom said he had rec
