US marines Locate Abducted girls,arrest boko haram chief


Sources told saturday vanguard in Abuja that Special Forces of the United States Marines have reportedly sighted the 230 female students abducted by Boko Haram terrorists from the Government Girls’ Secondary School, GGSS, Chibok, Borno State.

The girls who were abducted on April 14, were part of the 250 students boarded at the school for the West African School Certificate, WASC/ Senior Secondary School Certificate, SSSC, examinations, triggering world-wide condemnations.

Members of the United States Marines who are already in Maiduguri in fulfilment of the promise of President Barack Obama to assist Nigeria’s rescue efforts, were said to have located the girls inside the Sambisa forest, using some Satellite equipment which combed the forest.

One of the leaders of the terrorist group who participated in the abduction of the girls was also said to have been arrested by a combined team of the US Marines and Nigerian forces, through the use of an advanced interceptor equipment which was used to track the terrorist while exchanging information with his colleagues in Sambisa Forest about the movements of American and Nigerian soldiers in Maiduguri.

His phone was subsequently traced to a location in Maiduguri where he was arrested and handed over to the Nigerian military

LBN# WHY YOU ALSO NEED A LAWYER IN YOUR LIFE.

I know most people, especially in this part of the world have an impression that the only time the services of a lawyer is required is when there is a problem or dispute. To some people, the word lawyer is synonimous with trouble. I have met some people to whom I was introduced to as a lawyer and the remark I get almost instantly is that "they can now go and look for trouble".

Most of you reading especially from Nigeria may clearly understand what I am saying. This impression is however a wrong one to the extent that lawyers are not only needed when there is trouble. As a matter of fact, if the services of a lawyer is engaged before transactions are sealed or before negotiations are commenced, we would have less conflicts in our society today. The last assertion is however with the exception to criminal matters.

There would be an increased level of integrity among people because there would exist this consciousness ttat people are aware of their rights as human beings, as citizens and as business persons.

Just the way most of us have specific hospitals or dictors that we run to when we or any of our family members feel sick. Most of us refer to our banking officer when we have financial transactions to do. Most importantly, when it comes to our spiritual life, we have our pastor that we run to. Shokingly, in all the above memtioned relationships, there is a legal side to it all. When you go to see your doctor, there is legal side to it  when you open an account with a bank, there is a legal side to it. When you are building your house, their is legal side to it. When you walk into a supermarket to buy an item or do your shoppings, there is a legal side to it. Most importantly, when you enter into a business transaction, there is a legal side to all of it.

Unfortunately, most people, especially Nigerians only run to a lawyer when they are in trouble or that transaction has failed or they have been cheated. A complete case of medicine after death. Constantly consulting a lawyer before any financial or business endeavour, is very important for success.

A lawyer is like a close confidant. There is what we call lawyer and client confidentiallity which is an ethical aspect of the legal profession and lawyers do not take it forgranted. So you don't have to ask that question.

Start talking to a lawyer today before it gets too late.

Stay tuned for more daily legal tips.

Monica Lewinsky reacts to Beyoncé’s lyric

Well this is awkward!

Monica Lewinsky has re-acted to Beyoncé’s reference to her in the singer’s Partitionsong. 

"He Monica Lewinsky'd all on my gown," Beyonce seductively sings in her hit song. But how does the woman behind the provocative lyric feel about being a line in one of Mrs. Carter's songs?

The lyric is, of course, in regards to Lewinsky's affair with President Bill Clinton when he was in office and she was a White House intern. 

“Thanks, Beyonce, but if we're verbing, I think you meant 'Bill Clinton'd all on my gown,' not 'Monica Lewinsky'd,'” the 40-year-old told Vanity Fair magazine.

Kim and Kanye can't get married just yet

 Kim Kardashian and Kanye West can't marry until they finalise their pre-nuptial agreement.

The couple were rumoured to have tied the knot in a secret ceremony at the weekend as their planned Paris nuptials later this month won't be legally binding, but insiders say they haven't yet got their documentation in order to carry out the official ceremony yet.

Kim and Kanye - who have 10-month-old daughter North together - are not set to sign the pre-nup until some time next week, but insiders told TMZ the delays are not because they can't agree on how to divide their assets in the event their marriage dissolves, but because there is so much to sort out.

And the paperwork is particularly complicated because the Bound 2 rapper recently changed management teams.

Kim recently slammed claims she and Kanye have already married, and also revealed that, unlike her doomed union with Kris Humphries - who she was married to for just 72 days in 2011 - the ceremony won't be shown on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

She tweeted: "Seeing so many different reports not gonna start disputing them all but a few I want to straighten out...

"1. We are not married yet!

"2. We are not filming our wedding for Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

"You will see everything leading up til and after!

"As much as we would love to share these memories on camera, we've decided to keep this close to our heart & share thru photos

"3. No guest list has been released. Seeing fake ones. Especially not 1600 people invited like I just read. Its VERY small & intimate (sic)".

It is believed the loved-up duo will be forced to legally wed in California before their romantic bash in Paris as French law requires a strict 40-day residency before they can get married in the country.

Flying Eagles shop for new boots in Tanzania

Flying Eagles went shopping for new boots ahead of the 2015 African Youth Championship qualifier against Tanzania on Sunday.
It has been raining for the past week in Dar es Salaam, but weather forecasts suggest it would be sunny on match day at the National Stadium.

But, so as not to take a risk, the team went shopping for new boots in readiness for any situation that may turn out on Sunday.

“The pitch is okay but should it rain, we would need to play with hard-stud boots,” said Kelechi Iheanacho, who led several other players like Izu Omego and Joshua Enaholo to shop for new boots Friday morning.

The return leg of the tie will be played in Nigeria.

Boko Haram bombs bridge linking Nigeria, Chad

Members of the Boko Haram have detonated an explosive that destroyed a highway bridge linking Nigeria and Chad, security sources and witnesses said.‬
‪Hundreds of heavy duty trucks plying the Chad-Nigeria highway along Gamboru-Ngala Local Government conveying commodities from the two countries are now left stranded on either sides of the bridge.‬
‪Though residents say small passenger cars could still make it to either sides as the frames of the old bridge are left hanging in bad shape, traders lament the economic loss they stand to suffer not being able to transport their wares in the nearest future.‬
‪”The Boko-Haram is gradually caging us if, the bridge is the only one that links Gamboru from the other side of Borno and Nigeria as a whole; it has been destroyed. We are in trouble,” said a trader whose shop was completely burnt during the Monday attack on Gamboru that left over 100 people dead.‬
‪An official of the Department of State Security, SSS, in Maiduguri who confirmed the incident said “only small cars can risk crossing over the bridge; any truck or heavily loaded vehicle would definitely go down”.‬
‪The officer who spoke off the record said the bridge was bombed on Monday when the Boko Haram gunmen were retreating from their attack on Gamboru Town.‬
‪”The bridge is located between Gamboru and Logomani villages; the bomb has seriously damaged it; they detonated it on the bridge when they were retreating from Gamboru town as a reinforcement of our troops engaged them in shoot out”.‬
‪Traders whose wares are now trapped on the sides of the bridge now pay more for small vehicles to help them get their wares off the heavy trucks, and across the bridge.‬
‪”It is not only very expensive,  but not every driver would want to spend an hour there because the Boko-Haram gunmen might strike any time in that desert route,” Bukar Awa’ana, a trader said.‬
‪He noted that even before the destruction of the bridge,  trade merchants had lost millions of naira as a result of attacks on commodity trucks.‬
‪”The roads are in bad shape and trucks have to drive very slowly for days to get into Nigeria or out to Chad, and in the process, they suffer serious attacks, our drivers are often killed and the vehicles burft with the goods in most cases”, lamented Mr. Awa’ana who travels between Nigeria and Chad for his business.

US Marines spotted in Borno

This what I call action speaks louder than words. The benefits of recruitment based on merit. Nigeria as a country, is still joking. God help us to start getting it right.

Charles Novia also feels the Chibok Abduction may be exaggerated

 Ok! 3 weeks after the abduction, people have started asking questions ,some doubting the abduction or some parts of it mainly because of conflicting statements after the kidnap
 Earlier Gov Godswill Akpabio said

"I don't have the details but there are a lot of mysteries surrounding this situation. Two hundred and thirty something girls, for you to take them out of the school, you need a lot of vehicles.What were the security agents in that area doing? What was the reaction of the school principal? And how come the principal's daughters were not abducted? The female teachers were not touched?"

Northen CAN also raised these points in their press release

How did Boko Haram carry over 200 students and their food stolen by these criminals from the school? Was it carried with trailer?
Why is it that since this issue came up, no single photograph of the abducted children was made public by the school authorities? After all, they were preparing for exams and may have submitted their photographs.
Where were the daughters of the Principal, Vice Principal and Chief Security Officer when the abduction took place?

Meanwhile the fight is still on...

EFCC arrests Abuja socialite who gave RCCG N60m 'Tithe'

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a popular Abuja socialite who is also a top official of the Nigerian Prisons Service, Dr (Mrs) Imaobong Akon Esu-Nte. 

Saharareporters report that the suspect, a Grade Level 14 Officer with the Federal Ministry of Finance seconded to the Nigerian Prison Service as Head, Capital Accounts, was picked up Tuesday May 6 by operatives of the anti graft agency. And for several hours, she was grilled by investigators over allegations bordering on corruption, abuse of office and money laundering.

EFCC officials said they received tip-off regarding the suspect’s lifestyle which was inconsistent with
her position as a public servant on a monthly salary of N121, 460 ($751). The suspect owns several exotic cars and properties scattered over the (Federal Capital Territory) Abuja. 

Among her properties is:

•  a palatial mansion,
• a duplex with two-bedroom Boys Quarters at Sun City Estate, Abuja and
• another duplex at Karu Extension, Abuja, which is nearing completion.

Three luxury automobiles were recovered from her at the time of arrest. They include:

• a Mercedes Benz ML 350 4matic wagon,
• Mercedes Benz GL 500 SUV and
• a Toyota Sienna.

EFCC sources said Imaobong's arrest was triggered by intelligence report on suspicious inflow of huge funds into her account with a new generation bank. Close scrutiny of the account by investigators literally opened a can of worms, as it came to light that the suspect is the promoter and signatory to the accounts of three companies: 

• Abasiaga Global Resources Limited,
• Abasiono Nigeria Limited and
• Ememima Global Ventures Limited, the companies were established after she was posted to the Nigerian Prison Service and all the directors are her children (Dr. Etsu Daniel, Eme Faith and Uwen David).

She is also the owner of two other companies- Darima Properties and ID Petroleum

Sources revealed that several cash and cheque deposit into the accounts of these companies and the personal account of Imaobong in Zenith and Access bank could not be justified. The accounts of her companies are said to have recorded an inflow of not less than N200million between 2009 and now.

Another startling discovery by investigators for which the suspect has failed to provide an explanation, is the nearly N60million she paid in various tranches into the account of Redeem Christian Church of God, a prominent pentecostal church in Karu, a suburb of Abuja. 
An EFCC investigator told SaharaReporters:

There are instances in which she paid N5m, N7m and N6m into the church’s account. Obviously this cannot be tithe. She must explain the source of the funds and the purpose for which the payments were made”

Equally shocking, is the discovery of five names that consistently (on monthly basis) paid money into the private accounts of Imaobong at Zenith and Access bank since she arrived at the Nigerian Prisons Service as Head, Capital Accounts.

At press time, the socialite was still facing interrogators, unable to explain her sudden wealth. Sources informed SaharaReporters that she told her interrogators that she made her money doing contracts, contrary to provisions of the public service rule that forbids a serving officer to establish companies or prospect for contracts.

Spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren while confirming the arrest warned public officers engaged in corrupt practices to desist or risk the wrath of the law. He said the agency was determined to ensure that officers who abuse their positions for self enrichment are brought to book.
He equally pleaded with the members of the public to stop celebrating corruption by asking questions when it is obvious that the lifestyle of certain persons can not be supported by their known sources of income.
