A OMR reader saw this incident in Okigwe, Imo
State where a guy was burnt alive for stealing a
bike...
More than 200 girls who were abducted by Boko
Haram from government secondary school,
Chibok, Borno State, in April 2014 are in Gwoza,
The Cable , an online medium, on Wednesday
quoted Mbutu Papka, a woman who was recently
freed after eight months in the sect’s captivity, to
have said.
Papka, who made the revelation to the
international centre for investigative reporting,
said she was transferred from a poor condition in
Mdita to a fairly tolerable facility in Gwoza where
the abducted girls were being held.
She said, “In the camp at Gwoza, there were
clear demarcations between where people were
kept. The Chibok girls, other captives and Boko
Haram members and their family members all
had their separate areas secured, though the
security in the area where the girls are kept is
visibly different and much tighter.
“When we got to Gwoza, things changed because
there were facilities there and the place was 10
times better than Mdita.
“We had a normal life in Gwoza, except the
trauma of living in captivity. Whatever we wanted
to eat, they were provided. They would bring
water, firewood, etc., and leave them outside.
They even provided perfume for anyone who
requested for it.”
The 56-year-old woman added that no one was
allowed anywhere near the specific location of
the abducted girls, which was being guarded
round the clock.
Papka was reportedly seized alongside many
others when Boko Haram attacked Gwoza on
July 4, 2014 and taken to Mdita, a remote village
near the notorious Sambisa Forest, bordering
Askira Uba and Damboa. She and many others,
including children were kept in Mdita for five
months before they were taken to Gwoza, where
she was held for another three months before
being released on March 15.
The woman said the facilities provided for them
in Mdita were so poor that some captives died of
ill health.
“There was a Redeemed Christian Church of God
pastor who was killed during the attack on our
village, and his wife was abducted with us. She
died at Mdita due to the condition of the place
and the death of her husband,” she said.
The pastor’s wife was said to have had diabetes
and had been on a special diet, which could not
be provided by the insurgents.
Though she said she could not speak for the
abducted girls, Papka said she and the other
women abducted were neither raped nor
assaulted, saying the insurgents lived with their
wives and children in the Gwoza camp.
When she was to be released by the sect on
March 15, Papka was given a sick two-year-old
boy who had been crying uncontrollably. She was
driven home on a motorcycle and asked to pay
N8, 000, which her family did.
Controversial Enugu-based Reverend father, Fr
Mbaka says the president and his wife are
planning to assassinate him. Assassinate
because he's what? Lol. Below is what he told
his congregation...
"I want to send this message to the
atmosphere, let it now be known to the
whole world that president Jonathan and
Patience want to assassinate Fr Mbaka.
It's a known secret. So however they are
planning it, I don't know. Whomever they
want to use, I don't know. They will not
come themselves and do it, they will use
this unemployed people. The same people
I am speaking for. Just like in the days of
Chimaroke, (Nnamani - former Enugu
governor) I came here 1 day, announcing
this type of thing, that they are planning
to attack the ministry, people said it can
not happen. One night, 7th March, they
struck."
Adekemi Faboro reportedly died after her first
meeting with a married man she met on
Facebook, according to a report by PM News .
The teacher with a primary school in Ogba had
met with the married man, one Christopher
Ezekiel, online sometime ago and they started an
online relationship, communicating on phone and
through Facebook messages.
The two later agreed to meet for the first time
this past weekend. Ezekiel left his wife and 2
children in Ibadan and traveled down to Lagos
where he stayed in Adekemi's house at a street
off Ajayi Road, Ogba.
Trouble started when Adekemi started coughing
profusely in the middle of the night. Her
concerned neighbors who could hear her
coughing came to inquire what the problem was.
Seeing that she was not getting any better, they
rushed her to the Ifako General Hospital in Lagos
where she died.
Ezekiel was immediately arrested by policemen
attached to the Pen Cinema Police station in
Ogba. Her body has since been deposited at the
morgue and an autopsy is expected to be
conducted on her to determine the cause of her
death.
OPC thugs unleashed terror in the name of
political campaigns this afternoon and caused
serious traffic on the road. The thugs said they
want INEC chairman Jega removed and also
don't want card readers for the election. They
were escorted by SURE-P police escorts.
Nigerians took to twitter to vent their anger on
the madness that happened on Ikorodu road
today. See that after the cut...
This happened this afternoon along Ikorodu road
in Lagos. The thugs were seen destroying APC
posters. Another photo after the cut...
The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr
Lai Mohammed has sounded a warning to the
PDP not to attempt to assasinate Gen Buhari or
one of its Chieftains, Chief Bola Tinubu as it had
allegedly done in the past. Lai Mohammed, who
made the allegation in an interview with Punch
yesterday, said any attempt on their lives would
lead to consequences that will be very dear for
this country.
"I have never seen a government so terrified
of elections as this present administration.
And I have never seen a candidate so
terrified of the opposition as Jonathan.
Even as recent as last week, (Ekiti State
Governor Ayodele) Fayose was asking for
the withdrawal of Buhari from the
Presidential election; and it is just bizarre -
but that coming from Fayose, one should
not be surprising. Coming to issue of
security, they have made an attempt on his
(Buhari) life once before; it can be done
again. But, let us warn them that any
attempt on the life of Buhari or Bola Tinubu
will lead to a consequence that will be very
dear for this country. They should not even
contemplate it.”he said
In the interview, the APC chairman said the
allegation leveled against President Jonathan's
administration by Former President OLusegun
Obasanjo in December 2013 that they were
training sniper men to assassinate opposition
politicians was true
"It is true. They were trained in Belarus. They are
security agents drawn from the NIA, the DSS, the
Police, the Air Force and the Navy. They were
trained on how to take out targets without any
trace or without being discovered and they will
leave the scene quietly.”he said
In a swift reaction, the Deputy National Publicity
Secretary of the PDP, Mr Abdullahi Jalo
dismissed Mr Lai Mohammed's allegations,
calling on him to provide evidence to prove that
the PDP had intentions of assassinating Gen
Buhari
"The PDP is committed to the election peace
pact signed in Abuja. We will abide by it. It is a
covenant we are determined to keep. Having said
that, the burden of proof concerning Lai’s
allegation rests on him and the party. In the
usual manner of whipping up sentiments to
deceive Nigerians, they have come up with this
propaganda. Let him and his party provide
photo, video, audio or meeting place where a
plot to assassinate their presidential candidate
was hatched. Nigerians have become wiser
today. They cannot be swayed by the APC
propaganda machine,” he said
APC Governorship aspirant in Kogi state,
AbdulAziz Omeiza Aliyu (pictured above) and his
younger brother, Salmanu Adeiza Aliyu lost their
lives in a fatal road accident that happened at
Jere town along Kaduna – Abuja federal highway
yesterday March 14th.
A family spokesman, Abubakar Aliyu said the 36
year old politician was returning from Abuja to
Kogi with his younger brother when the chattered
vehicle they were riding in got involved in the
accident. All occupants in the car died.

According to the family spokesman
“Omeiza spoke with his father around
1.30pm Saturday few minutes into the ill
fated journey and barely half an hour, we
received the shocking and sad news of his
demise from a samaritans from the scene
of the accident. From the report we
received none of passengers on the ill fated
Sharon car survived and they have been
given mass burial at location at Jere town”.
Speaking on his children's death, Alhaji
Momohjimoh Aliyu said he has taken the incident
as an act of God ” I have accepted it as an act
of God. They are from God and they have
returned to Him at appointed time and on our
part we have accepted it as an act of God” he
said.
I can't verify the authenticity of this photo.
Someone just sent this to me and claims it
happened in Calabar. A female petty thief was
allegedly attacked by a mob and then they cut
off her left breast. If this really happened, then
big shame to these people. And look at a fellow
woman walking behind her. What a shame! See

Lagos state Governor Babatunde Fashola says
President Jonathan's visit to the state yesterday
was the reason why the robbery attack in Lekki
Phase 1 was successful. According to him, all
the vehicles the state government bought to
patrol the state was stationed to protect the
President. He said this during the Buhari meet
the Entertainers Programme in Lagos yesterday
March 12th
"Today is a very sad day because this
afternoon we lost three policemen to the
robbery in Lekki and it was the first of its
kind in a long time. And I also know that
perhaps what will be would have been but
it was sad to see all our security vehicles
deployed to protect one man. All the
vehicles we bought for the police were
stationed to receive the President in Lagos
while the citizens were left vulnerable.
Those policemen have children. Their
mothers will be have to explain to them
why daddy is not coming home. May their
souls rest in peace" he said. Watch the
video after the cut...
The photos accompanying this story are very
graphic, very gruesome, very gory! Unbelievably
so! Allegedly, this Zimbabwean woman (pictured
above) attacked her husband for allegedly
constantly cheating on her and cut of his penis.
I'm going to share the photos but if you guys
complain too much, I will take it down...because
it's quite gory! How anyone can do this to
someone else is beyond me, especially someone
you once loved and is the father of your children.
See the pics after the cut...but brace
yourselves..it's not pleasant.

Pictured above right is 36 year old Mrs. Bukola
Olusegun Ogidiolu who set her husband ablaze
on Valentine's day at their home in Idolofin area
of Ado Ekiti in Ekiti state after he allegedly
refused to take her out on Val's day. And right is
the man in hospital
When interviewed by Tribune, Bukola denied any
wrong doing. Although her claims do not add up,
Bukola said she and her husband always fought
over their inability to have a child. Continue...
"I don’t know how it happened. We had a
quarrel and he left me and went home. I
went to meet him at home and by the time
I got home, he had destroyed everything in
our room. There were people around who
were telling him to calm down. The petrol
was in our room, placed on top of the
electricity generating set. Later I recall that
he went outside the room and I heard the
fire alarm. I could have prevented the fire
from burning him that much but he was
dragging me to himself but I freed myself
from his grip and ran out. We later took
him to the hospital and I was arrested the
day after by the police. It happened at
about 11:30 pm on Wednesday and I was
arrested the day after. Our quarrel has
always been about our not having a child
together. It has nothing to do with valentine
outing because I’m not a baby that would
be asking to be taken out. We’ve been
married since 2012 and I’ve been taking
drugs so that I could have a child for him.
He smokes but I didn’t see him light a
cigarette on that night. But from the
reports I heard from those who saw him at
the hospital, they said he was holding a
lighter. He was standing behind me,
towards the passage and he was there
when he raised the fire alarm.”she said
Neighbors in their compound however gave a
different account of what happened. According to
one of them who pleaded anonymity, he said Mr.
Olusegun had arrived at their home in Idolofin
area of Ado Ekiti at about 6pm on that fateful
day to meet his wife who was angry over his
inability to take her out for the valentine
celebration. Neighbours claimed they heard the
couple exchange words before tragedy struck.
"At about midnight, the husband suddenly
ran out from their apartment, calling for
help saying his wife had set him on fire. We
had to rush out to rescue him by quickly
getting water and pouring it on him. But for
the prompt intervention of some of us, he
would have been burnt to death"a neighbor
said.
Olusegun was immediately rushed to the Ekiti
State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH),
where he is still receiving treatment. “We also
reported the incident to the Ado Central
Divisional police station from where policemen
came and arrested his wife the day after,” the
neighbour said.
Speaking on the incident, Olusegun's mother,
Mrs. Folake Olusegun, said when she arrived the
hospital, the last thing her son told her before he
passed out was that his wife was angry that he
did not take her out on Val's day. According to
her, “this caused a serious misunderstanding
which made his wife threaten to set him ablaze.
My son said he dared his wife, saying she
couldn’t do that and suddenly she poured petrol
on him and also threw the fire at him.”she said
Bukola, Olusegun's wife is currently still being
held by the Ekiti state police command where
investigations into the matter is still ongoing and
she would soon be charged to court.

The Nigerian military today recaptured Bama
town in Borno state from Boko Haram.The town
was captured by the militants in September
2014. The battle to recapture the town was led
by the General Officer Commanding (GOC), the
7th division, General Lamidi Adeosun. No serious
resistance was met during the retake operation.
No fewer than 34 persons have been confirmed
dead while 42 injured in the bomb blast that
rocked the Maiduguri Monday Market along
Ahmadu Bello way in Borno state this afternoon.
According to reports, the 42 injured persons are
currently receiving treatment in various medical
centers in the city. Only last weekend, the city
was rocked with three suicide bomb attacks that
left 54 people dead.
The former Vice President took to his twitter
handle to debunk the rumors. I didn't even hear
it!

Edo state Governor Adams Oshiomole alleges
that some pastors have collected money to
preach against APC Presidential candidate, Gen
Buhari. Oshiomole made the allegation while
receiving a PDP Chairmanship candidate and
2000 PDP members who defected to the APC
yesterday March 9th.
"Some pastors after collecting money are
now preaching that Buhari wants to
convert the nation to Islam. When Buhari
was Head of State with absolute power,
did he convert Nigeria to Islam? Did he
convert Dodan Barracks to Islam enclave?
Are there not Christian Generals all over
the place? The issue of this election is
not about religion or tribe. It is about who
has what it takes to repair our country. It
is about who will give us light. If PDP
couldn’t give us light in 16 years,
shouldn’t we give it to someone else?
Take a critical look at this election, when
NEPA takes light, do they segregate
between Christians and Muslims? When
they bring fixed charges, do they
differentiate between Christians and
Muslims? Are both Christians and
Muslims not suffering the inefficiency of
PDP’s 16 years of mis-governance? They
are saying APC is a Muslim Party. How
can a party that parades Christians such
as me, Chief John Oyegun, Prof Osinbanjo
and many others be described as a
Muslim Party? Now let’s look at it, if
Nigeria’s problem is about religion, since
1999 till now, Christians have ruled the
nation for 14 years, how come if it is
really about religion that despite ruling for
14 years, Nigeria that ought to be like
heaven is still like hell? Nobody should
use God’s name to deceive the people.
The matter of governance is not about
what you claim but about the state of
your heart. In this state, from 1999 till
now, all those that have governed Edo
State are all Christians yet those that
governed from 1999 till 2007 did nothing.
Are we not all Christians but is it all of
us that worked? They even stole from
Church because when you do not pay
salaries for 3 months can the workers pay
their tithe?
In Edo State, Christians, Muslims and
Traditional worshippers live together in
peace and harmony. Across Edo State
you find people of different religion and
nobody should bring religious war to Edo
State. While appealing to the people to
jealousy guard their PVCs, Oshiomhole
said: “In this local government we have
always won and in this 2015, we will still
win. PDP has destroyed Nigeria and we
must vote them out. Now they are
planning how to rig the election but it
won’t work. If anyone approaches you to
sell your PVC, do not sell it. Don’t sell
your voting right for one meal.
When they approach you to exchange
your PVC for money, refuse and let them
know that your poverty cannot be
negated for stupidity. This month of
March, by the Grace of God we are
marching to victory.” Leader of the
decampees, Chief Edegbe Ugbogbo said
he went to test the PDP but couldn’t
cope and assured the Governor that he
will collaborate with the APC leadership
to sustain development in the state as he
is very impressed with the developmental
strides of the State Governor. “I am here
with my followers to formally return to the
All Progressive Congress and come March
28th and April 11th, 2015, we will ensure
that APC wins in all the wards of this
Local Government.” he said
