|
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has confirmed that he has held talks with Chelsea soccer whiz kid, Ola Aina. The talks aim at convincing the right fullback, who is an ex-England U20 international, to forget about the possibility of playing for the England senior side and pledge his future to the Super Eagles
Rohr told goal.com: “It is normal to have this situation, when we have very good player [like Ola Aina] who can pick two teams. We always leave the door open to young talents.†Despite been born and raised in England, Aina visited the Super Eagles Crown Plaza Hotel camp in London shortly before the friendly against Senegal on Thursday, alongside his father. While the Nigerian Federation and Rohr are keen on the ex-England U20 international, the defender has not yet made a decision whether or not he would make a commitment to the Nigerian senior team. Aina has recorded five first-team appearances for Chelsea this season

Fear In Anambra Community As Businessman Imports Shrine Over N10m Debt... by Scapoos(m) : 12:44 am On Mar 28 |
|
Fear has gripped the people of Umuechefu Obiuno quarters in Igboukwu, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, over the presence of a shrine imported from a community in Anambra East Local Government Area by a businessman over a N10 million debt. It was gathered that residents of the community, who were told of the efficacy of the shrine, were fleeing the community in droves.
It was gathered that the shrine was brought by a five-man team sent by the chief priest, and planted in the family compound of two siblings, the debtors, at the instance of the businessman-creditor. Vanguard also gathered that the said businessman had approached the shrine to kill the debtors, their families and others who benefit from the two brothers. Prior to the planting of the shrine, the chief priest was said to have invited the siblings to the shrine in Anambra East with N5,000 delivery service cost and a carton of beer, to defend themselves on the said N10 million debt allegation. However, the brothers were said to have ignored the invitation, which prompted the planting of the shrine in their family compound since March 18. Consequently, residents were said to have started fleeing in droves, prompting the brothers to petition the state’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sam Okaula, through their counsel. They pleaded that the man that took them to the shrine, the chief priest and his errand boys, who brought the shrine to Igboukwu, be arrested and prosecuted for ‘trial by ordeal.’ Their counsel described the action as mockery to the family, because as their compound had become a pilgrimage destination, where people troop in to have a glimpse of the shrine.[code][/features]

14-Year-Old Girl Defiled By Five Men In A Bush Contemplates Suicide. Photos by Scapoos(m) : 9:23 pm On Mar 28 |
|
A 14-year old girl who was defiled by five men at Nkawkaw in the Eastern Region of Ghana says she has been contemplating suicide for some time now. The traumatised girl dropped out of school at Class Four after her ordeal and says she is being haunted by the dastardly incident which has left her with life-threatening complications.
Her revelations come as the police arrested a third suspect, Awudu Kamiru, an 18-year-old head porter. The victim was strangled by her attackers in an attempt to murder her after having sexual intercourse with her in turns. The attackers reportedly confessed that the plan was to conceal their illegal act and avoid a possible arrest. But a Good Samaritan who found her in an unconscious state in the Trado stream saved her life. That act has since left her with walking difficulties whilst she bleeds profusely from her private parts. Police have so far arrested three suspects in connection with the act. Twenty-five-year-old Cobbler and ex-convict Yaw Preko and a driver’s mate, Mohammed Adamu were the first two to be arrested and arraigned before an Nkawkaw Magistrates Court. The two, who have since pleaded for leniency after admitting to the offence of defilement, conspiracy to co commit crime and attempted murder. are expected back in court on April 7, 2017. A third suspect, Awudu Kamiru, was arrested over the weekend after Adamu led police to his hideout. Kamiru has been identified by the victim as the one who kicked her down before leading to her attack. Nkawkaw Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Sarfo Peprah says efforts are underway to arrest two more suspects who are at large. Two other persons said to have taken part in the gang rape have been identified only as Junior and Sarfo. Apart from the trauma, the girl says some residents in her neighbourhood have been making fun of her.

Ahmed Musa Quit Super Eagles Camp For Personal Reasons. by Scapoos(m) : 9:27 pm On Mar 28 |
|
Gernot Rohr has disclosed Leicester City forward Ahmed Musa was excused from the Super Eagles training camp in London for “family reasonâ€. Ahmed Musa was not part of the Eagles practice match Monday night at the Hive Stadium, but he instead flew down to Nigeria.
The forward was sensationally overlooked for the Eagles captain’s armband with Turkey-based midfielder Ogenyi Onazi handed that responsibility to lead the eagles in last week’s friendly against Senegal in London. “Ahmed Musa quit camp for personal, he had to go,†Rohr said in a radio interview monitored this morning. The Franco-German coach further announced his captain and vice-captain. “Mikel (Obi)is the first captain, Onazi for the moment the second captain,†he announced. “Onazi was previously vice-captain.â€

Mortuary Attendant Who Stole Human Skull In His Work Place Remanded In Prison... by Scapoos(m) : 9:30 pm On Mar 28 |
|
A mortuary attendant with the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Mr. Muritala Raimi was on Monday ordered to be remanded in Agodi Prisons, Ibadan for allegedly stealing a human skull, among the corpse kept in his work place. Raimi, 57, was arraigned on a two-count charge of stealing and misconduct.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the offence when he appeared before Magistrate Akanni Monsurat. Although the court granted the accused bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum, one of who must be a member of the family, the accused was yet to meet his bail conditions as at the time of filing this report. It was alleged that the accused was arrested after he had allegedly decapitated the remains of the yet to be identified corpse. He was said to have concealed the decapitated head in a bag and attempted to move out when he was caught by security guards on duty. When it dawned on him that his secret deal had been blown open, he allegedly attempted to run away but was later rounded up by the police and taken to Yemetu Police Station, Ibadan before he appeared at the court. The charge sheet signed by a Superintendent of Police, Adeniyi Odebiyi, reads in part: “That you Muritala Raimi, aged 57, on the 15th May, 2017 at about 05: 30pm at UCH Ibadan in Ibadan magisterial district did steal human skull inside UCH mortuary and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under section 3 of the criminal code cap 38 vol. 11 laws of Oyo State of Nigeria. “That you Muritala Raimi on the same date, place in the aforementioned magisterial district did misconduct with regard to corpse by decapitating a corpse deposited at UCH mortuary and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under section 242 of the criminal code cap cap 38, vol. 11 laws of Oyo Stateâ€.

Tension has gripped residents of Alamutu and Akala in Mushin area of Lagos State as three persons were found dead and many shops looted as rival hoodlums clashed. Scores of the hoodlums and residents were also reportedly injured in the clash, which lasted for more than five hours before police restored normalcy.
Heavy gunshots reportedly pervaded the entire Akala area between late Sunday and early Monday as hoodlums from Akala engaged their counterparts from Alamutu. It was gathered that the boys from Alamutu were holding a candle light procession for a bus conductor, when they were attacked by their counterparts from Akala.

Both groups reportedly recorded casualties as more than five people were reportedly injured in the clash that ensued. A resident of Alamutu, who identified himself simply as Awoko said “the two groups used to be together until the Alamutu boys pulled out.†“They used to form a gang to fight other people around Mushin and Somolu but the Alamutu boys complained about not being ‘properly settled ‘during sharing of money and other things †the resident said. Awoko also said that “the Sunday crisis started, when the Alamutu Boys were doing candle light procession for one of them, a conductor, who died in an accident.†It was gathered that that the candle light procession team had barely returned to Alamutu, after the confrontation at Akala, when the Akala gang mobilized and invaded Alamutu. There was heavy shooting leading to an instant death of one person, while passersby were robbed of their money, mobile phones and other valuables. The image maker in charge of the state police command, Olarinde Famous- Cole confirmed the death of one person to the Metro but insisted that normalcy had been restored.

Psalms, Chapter 51 Â I 3Have mercy on me, God, in accord with your merciful love; in your abundant compassion blot out my transgressions. 4Thoroughly wash away my guilt; and from my sin cleanse me. 5For I know my transgressions; my sin is always before me.b 6Against you, you alone have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your eyes So that you are just in your word, and without reproach in your judgment.c 7Behold, I was born in guilt, in sin my mother conceived me.*d 8Behold, you desire true sincerity; and secretly you teach me wisdom. 9Cleanse me with hyssop,*Â that I may be pure; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.e 10You will let me hear gladness and joy; the bones you have crushed will rejoice. II 11Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my iniquities. 12A clean heart create for me, God; renew within me a steadfast spirit.f 13Do not drive me from before your face, nor take from me your holy spirit.g 14Restore to me the gladness of your salvation; uphold me with a willing spirit. 15I will teach the wicked your ways, that sinners may return to you. 16Rescue me from violent bloodshed, God, my saving God, and my tongue will sing joyfully of your justice.h 17Lord, you will open my lips; and my mouth will proclaim your praise. 18For you do not desire sacrifice*Â or I would give it; a burnt offering you would not accept.i 19My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit; a contrite, humbled heart, O God, you will not scorn. III 20*Treat Zion kindly according to your good will; build up the walls of Jerusalem.j 21Then you will desire the sacrifices of the just, burnt offering and whole offerings; then they will offer up young bulls on your altar.

Anthony Joshua produced a remarkable recovery, to knock out Wladimir Klitschko in the 11th round of an epic heavyweight world title fight at Wembley on Saturday night. The 27-year-old appeared to be on the brink of his first defeat since he turned professional, after he was floored in the sixth round. But he produced a dramatic late onslaught to halt Klitschko with one round left. After 10 rounds, two judges had Joshua ahead, one by 96-93 and one by 95-93, while the other judge had Klitschko 95-93 ahead. With this victory, Joshua has successfully defended his IBF title, while also claiming the WBA ‘super’ belt. “What can I say? 19-0, three and a half years in the game. As I said, I’m not perfect but I’m trying and if you don’t take part you’re going to fail. “As boxing states, you leave your ego at the door and you respect your opponent.

How NIA Kept President Buhari In Dark Over Ikoyi $43m by Scapoos(m) : 9:43 pm On Apr 30 |
|
The panel headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will conclude its assignment on Wednesday. It has already interrogated the suspended Director general of the agency, Mr. Ayo Oke and is now in possession of documents showing approval for the release of $289m and other funds to the NIA and some security agencies by former President Goodluck Jonathan. But the panel is not inviting Jonathan because of what sources said are certain security decisions within the Executive powers and discretion of a sitting president. Besides, the committee is said to be only interested in tracking how the cash was sourced; how it was disbursed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN); the projects it was used for; and what happened to what is left of it. Oke was first grilled on Monday for about 10hours and on Tuesday for another two hours. Also quizzed in respect of the money were heads of relevant government agencies including the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele and some staff of NIA. A presidential source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that the Presidency was not aware of the existence of such the huge amount of money. The source denied a report that the current National Security Adviser, Babagana Munguno, who is a member of the panel, was aware of its existence. The source told The Nation that Oke did not brief the NSA at all about the funds - $289m - or the projects they were meant for when the Buhari administration took office in May 2015, even though the money had been released in March the same year. The NSA office, he said, only got to know of the existence of the money during the work of the Presidential committee that audited the Defence Equipment Procurement in the Armed Forces. The Committee, he said, had observed certain payments from the CBN to the NIA and raised questions drawing the attention of the NSA. When the suspended DG of the NIA discovered that that Committee was raising questions and to forestall the NSA from blowing the cover, the source said, Oke then gave a report to the NSA on the existence of the funds. Even then, he reportedly told the Committee that its job did not cover the activities or the finances of the NIA. The source added that subsequently, a team was constituted to ascertain the situation. He said that the first suspicion of a potential abuse was noticed at that stage, especially considering the amount of money involved and the purposes stated. “This was how the NSA and the Presidency learnt of the existence of such funds. We were not told by anyone in NIA until the committee saw something, and raised a red flag,†the source said. Besides, Oke did not inform anyone in the Federal Government or presidency that he kept $43m of the said funds in cash in a private apartment anywhere in Lagos or any part of the country, when compelled to explain what was happening. Another top government official, who does not want his name in print as he was not authorized to speak on the matter, said: “This is the issue: the NSA was not told that NIA had this lump cash stashed away in the place it was eventually discovered by EFCC. “In any case, extant rules are clear that such money ought only to be placed in the NIA headquarters or in CBN vaults.†Stressing that there were also instances where CBN actually paid out some of the funds directly to some NIA contractors, the source queried why the suspended NIA boss needed to put aside such huge cash in a private apartment. He said that the projects for which the former President approved the $289m included two in Lagos which total cost was about $28m. As at January this year, the source said that funds for the Lagos projects had actually been released to the tune of $18m, meaning that only about $10m was left to be paid four months ago, before the $43m was found in the Lagos apartment recently. He added: “So let us even assume that the NIA DG wanted to keep funds in Lagos for the Lagos based projects, he did not need that much for the total of the Lagos projects at all. And apart from that it is completely untenable to stash away agency money in a private apartment instead of keeping it with the CBN or inside the NIA head office where the money would be well-secured and its disbursement well protected. †The issues are as follows: *What informed ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s approval of such huge funds to NIA and other security agencies in 2015? *Where were the funds sourced from; *How was the cash disbursed by the CBN; * What projects were the funds used for; and *What has happened to unspent funds? * Was it appropriate for the $43.4m to be in the Ikoyi apartment? *Were there infractions committed by SGF Lawal and NIA DG Oke? “The committee has discovered some anomalies bordering on extra-budgetary spending. It has a task to overhaul the system and make far-reaching recommendations.†Also, “the government may remove PINE from the control of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF). It is becoming another ATM.†source: http://ift.tt/2oUy2WW http://ift.tt/2piJwqE
