Kidnapped policeman killed by abductors

The kidnapped police officer attached to the Criminal Investigation Department, CID, in Borno State, Watha Yaga, who hails from Chibok Local Government Area of the state, has been killed by his abductors.
His body, according to a reliable source, was found yesterday in a remote village called Ndaba near Gwoza Local Government Area of the state. The police officer, our correspondent gathered, was on Monday kidnapped in Pilka by gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect in Gwoza council area of the state. The gunmen took him away and had not demanded any ransom before killing him.
Yaga’s abduction brings to two kidnapped cases targeted at security personnel, particularly policemen in the last one week by suspected terrorists. The first was a failed attempt when gunmen suspected to be terrorists ambushed a police patrol vehicle in Bama Council Area where the Divisional Police Officer, (name withheld) escaped with bullet wounds, while four policemen and two of the suspects were killed as well as shops and houses around the Bama Central Market were razed down in the deadly encounter.
It was also gathered that the gunmen only interrogated their victim on the modus operandi of the security agencies, but when the victim could not volunteer the needed information, the gunmen killed him and thereafter dump the body on the outskirts of Ndaba village.
When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Gideon Jubrin’s cell phone was switched off while that of his boss, Yuguda Abdullahi, the police commissioner, rang severally, but he did not pick it as at the time of filing this report, but a top police officer, who did not want his name mentioned, confirmed the incident.

ragedy as hungry dog kills 4-month-old baby

Image
   at the week­end in Asaba, Delta State when a hungry dog attacked and killed a four-month-old baby boy. Although, some people tired in vain to rescue the baby alive, the boy died few minutes thereafter. His mother was conveying the dog, the little child and her nanny in her car. The woman simply identi­fied as Mrs Akowe, stopped at a supermarket, leaving the nanny, the child and the dog in the car. The dog started behaving funny and started eating up the child, simply called Chinonso. The helpless nanny ran into the supermarket to alert the mother. The madam immedi­ately raised the alarm, but be­fore help could come, the dog had already eaten up part of the baby’s stomach. The two security guards in the supermarket succeeded in killing the dog while the baby was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was confirmed dead. An eyewitness, George Ojeogwu, said: “I was in the supermarket on Okpanam Road when the dog bit the owner’s child to death. I learnt that th...

The incident brought a temporary halt to the carnival as the reveller tried to assist the injured boy who died on a bike ...

UK Government Clears Bishop Oyedepo Of N3.4Bn Charity Fraud, Allowed Back Into UK

The UK Charity Commission, has absolved Winners Chapel International of complicity in the alleged misappropriation of N3.4bn charity funds. In a recently published report, the agency said Winners Chapel International, also known as World Mission Agency, showed “good financial controls” for an organisation of its size. While maintaining that the “ employment of an individual who was related to the founder” generated a potential conflict, the Commission said it was satisfied with the decision of the trustees in respect of the employment. “Our review of the charity’s financial information identified minor discrepancies. However, the trustees were able to explain and resolve these. We found no evidence that N3.4bn or any other amount had been misappropriated. “We were satisfied the charity could demonstrate good financial controls appropriate for a large and expanding charity”, said the report. The Commission further said in...
