5 mourners at man’s burial confess to killing him with juju
The command’s spokesman, SP Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement on Wednesday in Enugu that the mysterious death happened in Nkpologwu town in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area. Amaraizu said that the deceased was said to have slumped and died on Oct. 6 in the morning.
“Following his death, the deceased corpse was brought to his home town Nkpologwu in Uzouwani Local Government Area for burial formalities. “As if the spirit of the deceased was hunting his alleged killers, it was gathered that as the mourning was going on, one Okolo Nicholas, Peter Ezugwu and Augustine Ezeugwu all from the same town but resident in Onitsha, Anambra, started confessing. “The three persons, who came for burial ceremony of the deceased, allegedly called the villagers and told them how they conspired and brought Juju from Omor Town of Anambra which was invoked into their disputed land. “They said that they took the action since the deceased sold 20 plots of the communal land without their consent,’’ he said.
“The three suspects during further investigations revealed how they conspired and went to Omor Town and invoked Juju on the said land, on the ground that whoever enters the land will die. “They submitted that the deceased may have entered the land, hence his sudden death. “Following their official revelations, the two native doctors involved in the invocation of the juju and trial by ordeal, who gave their names as Obu Madubuike and Okafor Okoye, all from Omor town, were arrested. “The native doctors confirmed that they were met by the three suspects for invocation of juju and that it was targeted at whoever that would enter the said land,’’ he said.
Amaraizu said that the command had commenced investigation into the matter to get to the root of the whole issue.

JAMB bans pens, watches at 2018 UTME
The board’s Registrar, Prof. Is’haq Oloyede disclosed this to newsmen on the sideline of the sensitisation workshop for Computer Based Test (CBT) centre owners on Wednesday in Lagos.
According to him, the workshop was to appraise the registration and conduct of the 2017 examination.
“What we are doing here today is to appraise the registration and conduct of our past examination and we have taken some lessons from our experience.
“To this end therefore we have introduced some measures that will further add to the integrity of the registration process as well as the conduct of the examination proper.
“For instance, we discovered during the conduct of the last examination that some electronic devices such as pens, wristwatches and other devices were used to perpetrate examination malpractice.
“So, for next year, we have banned the use of wristwatches and pens by candidates and other persons in the examination hall.
“We are also going to introduce some detection devices to ensure that those who plan to cheat in the examination hall are frustrated, as we will also jam (communication network) of the centres,” he said.
Oloyede noted that the sale of the registration document for the 2018 UTME would commence before the end of November.
Govt suspends VP, withholds salary for impregnating 16-year-old pupil
According to Punch,the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Yahaya Garba, on Wednesday said the accused had not been promoted or transferred by the ministry, adding that the ministry was not shielding him from prosecution.
Garba noted that Mohammed had been suspended from the school, while 50 per cent of his salary was being withheld pending the outcome of the case in court.
He said, “As a ministry, we did not want to make any public announcement of our stand, but because the issue has gone viral, we have to come out to state our stand. I will like to say that the Niger State Ministry of Education is not in any way shielding Mallam Mohammed. When the case got to us, we directed the state secondary education board to set up a seven-man committee.
“Based on the recommendation of the committee and the acceptance by Mohammed that he committed the crime, the Ministry of Education has placed him on half salary.
“We have also mandated Mohammed to take up the upkeep of both mother and child for three years. Mohammed has not been promoted or posted anywhere. He is still serving his suspension. The ministry will finally decide on his case after the court has concluded deliberation on it.”
The permanent secretary further stated that the willingness of the ministry to pay the money needed to carry out the DNA test was to expedite the case in court.
Our correspondent had reported that Galadima was impregnated by her vice principal and her family had cried out for assistance from the state government after she gave birth, as they alleged that the accused had abandoned them.
The victim and her family had claimed that the vice principal had fled .
Senate summons Fashola over alleged $35m spendings
According to Punch, the lawmakers specifically criticised the ministry for allegedly spending $35m out of the money on power projects without approval by the National Assembly.
The decision followed the adoption of a motion moved by Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi-West), at the plenary on Wednesday, which was entitled, ‘Monumental Fraud in the Power Sector.’
Granting a prayer of the motion, the Senate mandated its Senate committees on Power; and Public Accounts to invite the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN),
“to render a detailed account in terms of public funds spent on the Fast Power Projects (Afam Fast Power Project in particular); evidence of feasibility study indicating the viability of the projects; requisite appropriation by the National Assembly as required by the constitution; and the controversial presidential approval for the projects.”
Another prayer was also granted to mandate same committees “to investigate and consider summoning the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority, the Nigeria Electricity Bulk Trading Company, etc., to generally establish the status of the funds ($350m) and to report back to the Senate within two weeks.”

Zimbabwe's Sacked Vice-President 'Flees'
President Robert Mugabe, 93, accuses his former deputy of plotting to take power from him.
"He went to apostolic church prophets to find out when Mugabe would die. But he was told he would die first," Mr Mugabe told supporters on Wednesday.
First Lady Grace Mugabe is now the favourite to succeed her husband.
Mrs Mugabe had been pushing for the removal of the vice-president, referring to him as a snake that "must be hit on the head."
She is now expected to be appointed vice-president at a special congress of the ruling Zanu-PF party next month.
Mr Mugabe called his former deputy a conspirator and warned that he was planning to purge others in the party.
"We knew a long time ago what he [Mnangagwa] was like. But we tried to shield you from it. He thought that by being close to me, I would carry him on my back to the presidency. But I didn't die, I didn't resign," he told his supporters at the headquarters of his Zanu-PF party in Harare.
"We hope we can deal with others who were conspirators alongside him," he added.

In his words;
Another close associate to Toyin Lawani confirms her claim saying, ‘Toyin won’t stoop so low’.
Bobrisky said the case was reported in Abuja and that he is currently on his way to Abuja
In his words;
Toyin Lawani asked her lawyer to write petitions against me that I worked for her and I’m selling cream to all her customers. Which was a fat lie. I never worked for Toyin. She was my friend. I can’t remember ever working for Toyin or learning how to make cream from her.
Then she also said I threatened her. So we are going to Abuja cos that was where the case was reported. Before she wrote petitions against me, she had already threatened me that she is giving me 7 days to go to the internet and apologize to her which I said no way because she offended me. I think because I refused to apologize, she got the police involved.
Speaking about what transpired at the police station yesterday, Bobrisky said his phones were taken for him and he was told that he needed to wait until morning in order to go to Abuja.
Yesterday at the police station, I was sitting at the counter and I was told I needed to wait until morning to go to Abuja. My phone was taken from me so I couldn’t talk to anyone. I’m trying to get in touch with my lawyer and all the people I know.
General Detained As Scandal Rocks Buhari’s Government
The list has just been lengthened by a contract scandal in the ministry of defence which has landed a brigadier-general in military court...
At the centre of the latest development are Mansur Dan-Ali, a retired brigadier-general and minister of defence, Danjuma Nanfo, the immediate past permanent secretary in the ministry, and LYM Hassan, a brigadier-general and coordinator of peacekeeping.
Hassan is now in detention and facing court-martial, The Cable understands.
At the court martial, which began on October 30, 2017, Dan-Ali, Nanfo, and Hassan have disclosed how money was shared from a $1.4 million contract without the job being executed, TheCable has learnt.
The contract was for the relocation and refurbishment of Level 2 Ministry Hospital under the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) following a directive from the UN.
A UN Level 2 hospital is a second line or “brigade/sector” level surgical facility for limited specialist expertise and limited surgical capabilities, including life, limb and organ-saving surgeries.
Under the UN system, 18 Level 2 hospitals are being operated by troop-/police-contributing countries.
Countries get paid by the UN for the use of their facilities.
Nigeria’s Level 2 hospital was established to support the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire (UNOCI) in 2008.
The hospital was later relocated to its temporary site in Timbuktu in 2013 to support MINUSMA.
For failing to meet the August 2017 UN deadline for a new location, Nigeria has been asked by the global body to withdraw its remaining contingent to the United Nations African Mission in Darfur (UNIMID) because of poor holdings of the contingent-owned equipment (COE).
INTERNATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT The problem started for Nigeria’s full-fledged Level 2 hospital when the UN asked Nigeria to move it from the present temporary camp at the Timbuktu airport, Mali, to the more secure new UN Super Camp, also in Timbuktu.
With the completion of the permanent camp of MINUSMA in Timbuktu, the UN requested all its establishments to relocate to the new Super Camp.
Trouble started when, in February 2017, the ministry of defence awarded a contract for the refurbishing and relocation of the hospital to a contractor who had zero experience in installation of Level 2 hospital.
The procurement was done without the due process of the Bureau for Public Procurement (BPP).
According to documents seen by The Cable, the controversial contract was awarded after the MOD had received a presidential approval in the name of another contractor.
The initial approval followed a memo from the minister of defence on July 21, 2016 to President Muhammadu Buhari requesting fund for the relocation of the Nigerian Medical Level 2 Hospital “deployed to African Union MINUSMA in Mali”.
The approval was contained in a memo, dated November 9, 2016, from the president’s chief of staff to the minister of defence.
ILLEGAL CHANGE OF CONTRACTORS
Nothing was heard of the president’s approval until three months later when an award letter dated February 2, 2017 emanated from the procurement department of the MOD to a new firm not initially involved in the initial contract process.
The new contract had a completion period of two months.
The contract till date has not been executed, as only part of the hospital under MINUSMA was dismantled and left at the current location.
The initial cost of the contract for the refurbishing and relocation of the hospital as approved by Buhari was $1,464,750.
The contract for execution of the same was awarded by the MOD procurement department for $1 million, short by $464,750.
But the favoured contractor reportedly ran back to tell the ministry officials that the contract could not be executed unless there was a variation sum to the tune of over $500,000.
However, the refurbishment and relocation contract was awarded by MOD with express specification that “the contract price is fixed and no request for variation will be entertained.
It is expected that you will relocate the items in good conditions and perform to the highest standard all the obligations under the contract and to remind you also that it is not transferable”.
According to a source in the ministry, the second approval is suspect because “there is no way the president will give approval to the same contract twice”.
AND NIGERIA LOSES TO RWANDA
The second approval was possibly made up to cover up the tracks of those involved in the shady deals which has cost Nigeria — the UN has asked Rwanda to get ready to deploy another Level 2 hospital at the Super Camp.
The UN, through the United Nations Security Council, had at its meeting with troop/police contributing countries 28 January 2017 in New York, expressed an urgent need to relocate the hospital to the Super Camp.
All the establishments had a deadline of second week of August 2017 to complete the relocation as the UN took full responsibility of preparing the platforms on which the Level 2 hospital is to be erected.
But with the platforms ready by the first week of August, Nigeria’s hospital was nowhere near the Super Camp.
Despite the implications of their actions on the fortune of the nation in peacekeeping and the image of the country, the actors allegedly chose to share the money.
The top officials had reportedly excluded the contractor in the sharing after signing the contract formula.
COURT-MARTIALLED FOR TALKING TOO MUCH
To save the image of the ministry and possibly cover the alleged fraud, Dan-Ali reportedly sent servicing officers to execute the contract.
The relocation was to be supervised by the Hassan and BA Isandu, also a brigadier-general.
Hassan, however, made some uncomplimentary comments which were recorded, unknown to him.
This has landed him in army headquarters garrison for jurisdiction under court martial.
While the actors bicker over who gets what, with the minister said to be nursing gubernatorial ambition in his home state, Zamfara, the country has lost the UN contract.
Ministry officials are asking Buhari to call for a probe and bring all those involved arrested and prosecuted.
TheCable could not reach Dan-Ali for comments as his telephone line was unavailable, and he also did not response to SMS.
Tukur Gusau, a colonel and his spokesman, refused to respond to The Cable’s questions.
“The matter is already in court. How do you expect us to comment? You can go to the court-martial and talk to them if they are willing to talk to you. We cannot talk to you since the issue is already before them,” he said.
When told that the court-martial might be unwilling to divulge any information, he said, “Then you go to the army headquarters. The panel was set up by the army, not the ministry of defence.”
Sani Usman, a brigadier-general and Army spokesman, did not return his calls or respond to SMS.
NIGERIA ON A FALL
Meanwhile, countries such as Bangladesh, Ghana and Senegal are earning foreign exchange from COE as all equipment are paid for.
Nigeria, which was the fifth largest troop contributing country (TCC) in the world in 2013, is down to 9th position.
It is now ranked 9th in global peacekeeping and 5th in Africa and in African Union.
Nigeria’s neigbhour, Ghana, is now ranked 8th in global peacekeeping and 4th largest African and African Union contributor, with 3,247 uniformed peacekeepers.
“Liberia and Sierra Leone in particular owe its peace it is enjoying today to the sacrifice of Nigerian troops but sadly, ugly and selfish behaviour like that has cost the nation dearly and continued to paint her in bad light,” an official of the ministry told The Cable.
WHAT WILL BUHARI DO?
Buhari’s administration’s biggest soundbite since its inception in 2015 is “if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill us”.
However, there has been a series of corruption scandals rocking the government in recent times.
The former secretary to the government of the federation, Babachir Lawal, was implicated in a grass-cutting contract scam, the most senior of his administration to be so indicted so far.
After a long pause, Buhari finally fired him on October 30.
Ayo Oke, former director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), was fired same day, months after a probe panel recommended his sack after the discovery of $43 million, £27,000 and NN23 million of the agency’s cash at a private residence registered to his wife.
Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of a presidential task force who fled the country when he was being investigated, secretly returned to the country and was reabsorbed into the civil service and promoted director.
Buhari ordered his sack after it became public knowledge, although Winifred Oyo-Ita, the head of service, allegedly said the president knew about Maina’s recall.

New mom recounts how she gave birth to her baby at home with no medical help
She wrote on IG:
Many people have been asking me how I did it without assistance, especially as it’s my Queen and I first born, and the answer is - CONFIDENCE 🔑
We’ve taken great care of ourselves before and throughout the pregnancy by eating well, exercising, having a clear mindset, and surrounding ourselves with people with good energy.
All of that being the first stage. Second comes knowledge and understanding of the body, and the functions of the organs during the creation of the baby.
There’s no fear of complications if you understand the causes of complications.
If by any chance there were an emergency situation, we both did extensive research on how to rectify the problem without panicking, just as any doctor or nurse would do.
All that aside, I’m happy we have a new addition to the family 😁
#InspiredByCoupe #FatherRole #HomeBirth#Natural #Motherhood #Fatherhood#Pregnancy
I rate my Queen so much!! The strength she has mentally and physically is so attractive 😍 I’m glad she has found her path in Empowering other women with all she learnt and done thus far!
