The suspect had been on the run since
police and officials of the Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) burst
into his church on Friday, July 22, to
rescue the victim, Korede.
The victim’s stepmother had earlier been
arrested by the police who announced
that the malnourished boy will be handed
to the Ministry of Women Affairs and
Social Welfare for further rehabilitation.
Adejobi said Taiwo, a pastor at the Key of
Joy Celestial Church, Ajibawo, Atan-Ota
town of Ogun State, will be charged to
court as soon as investigations are
completed.

Efcc denies Ayo Fayose's aides bail

The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has described the bail
granted an aide to the governor of Ekiti
state Ayo Fayose as “shocking” .
The spokesperson to the EFFC Wilson
Uwujaren said the commission will appeal
the ruling of an Abuja High Court judge
Adeniyi Olukayode on the detention of
Abiodun Agbele.
Uwujaren said the judge’s conclusion on
the matter is “curious” against the
background of the information made
available to the court which included the
fact that the suspect was being held with
a valid remand warrant from a Magistrate
Court in Lagos.

PDP holds red flag on APC oshimohole malpractise in Edo state

PDP has accused the APC governor in Efo state of plotting to ring the upcoming September governorship election.

Governor oshiomohole

PDP claims the APC is trying to rig the
September 10 governorship election,
hence the party called on government
institutions and security agencies not
work with the APC in subverting the will
of the Edo people.

At a campaign rally for the party’s
governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-
Iyamu, in Uzebba, Own West Local
Government Area, the party also
challenged the outgoing governor to
declare how much rights a private
company allegedly close to the APC
candidate, Godwin Obaseki has invested
in the Edo University, Iyamho (EUI).
State chairman of the PDP, Dan Orbih,
who made the remark, said state officials
had lately been boasting of perfecting a
plan to rig the election even as he vowed
that the people of the state would like
citizens of Turkey force out those who try
to impose themselves on them.
He said: “President Buhari has never
intervened in any election before now, so
we hope Edo State will not be an

exception.

Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel
Baloch has been k

illed by her brother in an
apparent 'honour killing' in the province of
Punjab, police say.
Ms Baloch, 26, recently caused controversy by
posting controversial pictures of herself on
social media, including one alongside a
Muslim cleric.
Police say she was strangled to death.
Cases of women being killed for
'dishonouring' their family are commonplace
in Pakistan.
Qandeel Baloch became a household name for

photographs, video and comments.
How her murder reflects a divided
country
Ms Baloch's parents told The Express Tribune
that she was strangled to death on Friday
night following an argument with her
brother.
They said her body was not discovered until
Saturday morning. Her parents have been
taken into custody, the Tribune reported.
Ms Baloch had gone to Punjab from Karachi
because of the threat to her security, police
say.
"[Her] brothers had asked her to quit
modelling," family sources quoted by the
Tribune said.
Sources quoted by the newspaper said that
Wasim was upset about her uploading
controversial pictures online and had
threatened her about it.
Police said he had not been arrested and was
on the run.

Buhari to dump dialogue with niger delta militants

Nigeria is now making progress on producing all sorts of militants(Boko-haram,Fulani-herdsmen,niger-delta militants)all working againt the nigeria government.. Wondering which militant will show up next..maybe the Yoruba militants!!!

President buhari

Speaking in similar vein, July 5, the Reformed
Egbesu Boys of Niger Delta, in a statement,
said: “Since we called off hostilities in
collaboration with the Niger Delta Avengers,
although reluctantly… we have observed the
`I do not care’ attitude of the Federal
Government on its much flaunted and
publicized dialogue option with key actors
of the crisis.”
The group’s so-called General Tony
Alagbakereowei said: “The Secretary to the
Federal Government alleged that there are
numerous groups and interested parties, who
want to negotiate with the Federal
Government and that there is no clear
leadership that the Federal Government could
trust and negotiate with. This is not only
preposterous, but smacks off a predetermined
mindset.

N_delta militants

“In as much as this could be true to some

extent, we wish to state that the Federal
Government allowed miscreants and
meddlesome interlopers seeking relevance in
Abuja to gain pipeline contracts and
appointments to deceive key actors of the
government.”
Meanwhile, on Buhari’s stand that Nigeria’s
unity is not negotiable, the Ijaw People
Development Initiative, IPDI, a non-
governmental organization, said: “Our
attention has been drawn to a statement made
by Mr President while breaking fast with
Muslims leaders in Aso Rock, that Nigeria ‘s
unity is not negotiable. He even went down
memory lane on how General Yakubu Gowon
handled the civil war.”
Anger spreads
National President of the group, Austin Ozobo,
in a statement, said: “He then handed down a
threat, which will further aggravate tension
in the region when he said that he is passing
a message to the militants that Nigeria’s unity
is not negotiable. This does not go down well
with some of us. Nigeria’s false marriage is
now incompatible; it is not the duty of
President Buhari to decide whether it is
negotiable or not, and that can only be
determined through a referendum, and that
power rests with the electorate, not the
President.”
“His threat only implies that, in a nutshell, if
the people of the region fail to see reason
with him regarding his rigid position,
Armageddon shall descend on the region.
“We find Mr. President’s statement not only
repulsive, but totally disrespectful to the
millions of Nigerians, who, on daily basis,
have been calling for restructuring, true
federalism and self-determination, a
fundamental right as clearly stated in United
Nations Charter and Africa Charter and
People’s Rights.
I”President Buhari’s voice most of the time
polarizes the country more. As a leader,
listening to the cries of your people is far
better than forcing your opinion based on
ethnic and religious sentiment down our
throats.
“Nigerian state came into being through
forcefully marriage under Sir Lugard,
without the consent and input of Niger
Deltans on how they should be governed and
how they want to live with other ethnic
nationalities.
“We reject this ‘ monkey dey work, baboon
dey chop treatment’ from the Nigerian state.
We once again join progressive minds calling
for true federalism because this is the only
way out of the currrent agitations from
several quarters”.
Buhari’s metamorphosis
Findings by Sunday Vanguard, however,
showed that Buhari was initially excited about
the Federal Government dialoguing with
militants and stakeholders in the Niger Delta,
but, along the line, seemed to have changed
his mind, as he is no longer disposed to
dialogue.
A source said some top security officials and
politicians around the President convinced
him that negotiating with Niger Delta
militants would mean that government
succumbed to their blackmail.
The different interest groups mounted
pressure on Buhari, who shifted from his
earlier position. The militants, who were,
according to sources, suspicious of
government negotiators all along, reportedly
saw the President’s latter-day reorganization
of Operation Pulo Shield, now Operation Delta
Safe, redeployment of security personnel from
the North to the Niger-Delta on the grounds
that those in the region were incompetent and
the crackdown on militants, as a sign that
government was no longer interested in
dialogue.
Our dependable source said: “The truth is that
there were intrigues and power play, involved
the details of which are better classified in
national interest. But the President chose to
hold his grounds against militants than yield
to them in the name of dialogue.”
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, however, hit
the nail on the head, on Friday, when he said
government deliberately refused to discuss
with NDA.
Osinbajo, who delivered the second
foundation lecture of Elizade
University,Ilaramokin, Ondo State, said NDA
members are not freedom fighters but
economic warriors fighting for their own
private pockets.
“The so-called Avengers are not freedom
fighters but fighting for their own economic
benefits. They are avenging for their private
pockets and that is why government is not
talking with them”, he stated.
The Vice
President,
however, said that
the Federal
Government had
concluded
arrangements to
tackle the menace
of pipeline
vandalism in the
Niger/Delta.
While
condemning the
activities of the
militants who claimed responsibility for the
vandalization of petroleum pipelines in the
oil-rich region, said “The previous government
neglected the region for several years, hence
the current challenges”..
Osigbo said government had put the
machinery in motion to curtail the activities
NDA.
.He also lamented that attacks by the group on
oil and gas pipelines were responsible for the
epileptic power supply in the country as well
as the inability of state governors to pay
workers’ salaries due to the low revenue

generated in the oil sector.

international company has 45 branches
located in Nigeria and around the world
and is ranked among the largest life
insurance companies in Nigeria.

3. Niger Insurance
Niger Insurance opened in 1962, but back
then it was known as Yorkshire
Insurance. In the beginning years, this
company offered only life insurance.
Today Niger offers both life and non-life
insurance products and is considered to
be one of the best life insurance
companies in Nigeria. Niger Insurance
provides free risk management
consultation and is currently ranked
among the top three insurance providers
in Nigeria. The company is growing fast,
thanks to its reputation for honesty and
reliability. In June of 2015, President
Muhammadu Buhari appointed former
Executive Director of Niger Insurance as
Nigeria’s Commissioner for Insurance.
The appointment is proof that Niger

customers’ claims.

2. Mansard insurance

Mansard has offices in 59 different
countries and €1.3 Trillion worth of

insurance companies on the market. In
February of 2015, the World Bank decided
to provide a $20 million loan to help
AIICO expand across Nigeria. The reason
the World Bank picked AIICO over the
other insurance companies has to do with
its outstanding reputation and ability to
deliver high quality insurance services in
both urban and rural environments. Over
the years, AIICO has proven that it knows
the needs of Nigerians, offering many
different kinds of innovative and
inexpensive insurance products to its
customers. AIICO has 400 agents and 33

branches located throughout the country.

Efcc and three MDS in real fight over #90bn bank fraud accusation

EFCC is set to start the trials of Mr,Erastus Akingbola, Mr Francis Atuche and Mr Okey Nwosu who reportedly stole #90bn in total.

After the Lagos High Court dismissed his
objection about an abuse of court process
and double jeopardy Mr Nwosu
appealed to the Court of Appeal, Lagos
Division and won on November 21, 2014.
Shortly afterwards both Messrs Akingbola

A Human rights set has accused president buhari of trying to islamize Nigeria.
>>It says Buhari'd minister Dambazau breaches the main law by taking directions from sultan of sokoto.

Buhari entering the holiest site in Islam..

The Human Rights Writers Association of
Nigeria (HURIWA) has blamed President
Muhammadu Buhari for making Nigeria
an Islamic country.
The group claimed that Minister of
Interior Abdulrahman Dambazau
breached the Nigerian Constitution by
taking by taking orders from a private
religious leader – the Sultan of Sokoto in
extending a national holiday to mark the
Eid-el-Fitr from two to three days.

Daily Post reports that HURIWA also
slammed the Nigerian government for
creating doubt and causing commotion to
the businesses and the private sector by
the one-sided and unprepared
announcement of one more day to mark
the end of the Ramadan fasting.

The rights group in a statement stated that
the Nigerian Constitution clearly provided
in section 10 that no special religion
should be elevated to a status of a state

religion.

Google's Deepmind to peek at NHS eye scans for disease analysis

One million anonymised eye scans from
Moorfields Eye Hospital will be used to train
an artificial intelligence (AI) system from
Google.

Machine learning algorithms will scour the
images for signs of diseases such as macular
degeneration and diabetes-related sight loss.
Moorfields is teaming up with Google's AI
division DeepMind during the scheme.
Previously, DeepMind faced criticism over a
little-known data sharing agreement with
three London hospitals.

An agreement to share patient data from the
Royal Free, Barnet and Chase Farm hospitals
over the past five years and continuing until
2017 was revealed by the New Scientist in
May.

In that case, Google said it was analysing
kidney data in the hope of developing an app
for medical staff.

The app, called Streams, would notify doctors
should someone be at risk of developing acute
kidney injury (AKI).

Announcing the latest venture with
Moorfields, Google has cited the support of
the Royal National Institute of Blind people
(RNIB) and sight charities such as the
Macular Society.

'Revolutionary' potential
"How it plays out over time remains to be
seen," Sam Smith, a co-ordinator at patient
data campaign group MedConfidential, told
the BBC.

"But you do have organisations involved that
aren't principally concerned with DeepMind -
they care about blindness in the case of RNIB
and long term medical research in the case of
the National Institute for Health Research."

"Maybe they have learnt the lessons of their
Royal Free fiasco," the MedConfidential
Twitter account tweeted , "Not that they've
shared what they learnt from that..."
One tech journalist, Gareth Corfield, tweeted
that he "hit the roof" after reading the news.
He has written a letter to Moorfields citing
the Data Protection Act.

"This is a serious dereliction of your duties as
a data controller," he wrote.
"To be crystal clear, I have not consented for
my personal data to be used by Moorfields
NHS Trust for any purpose other than treating
me for genuine medical purposes."
However, current rules state that as long as
data is anonymised it may be shared for
ethically approved projects.
Moorfields has published a Q&A on the
DeepMind collaboration which adds, "patients
can opt out of any data-sharing system by
emailing the Trust's data protection officer".

"Our research with DeepMind has the
potential to revolutionise the way
professionals carry out eye tests and could
lead to earlier detection and treatment of
common eye diseases such as age-related
macular degeneration," said Prof Sir Peng Tee
Khaw, director of the National Institute for
Health Research Biomedical Research Centre
in Ophthalmology at Moorfields Eye Hospital.

Google has said it is estimated that up to 98%
of sight loss that is a result of diabetes can be
prevented with early treatment.

President buhari finally spits fire on Senate leaders>>read what he did

President spokesperson sa

ys the national Assembly leadership will no longer meet with the president which he hives reason for the eventual cancellation..

According to Garba Shehu, the president’s
senior special assistant on media and
publicity, the president is not willing to
meet with the leadership of the Nigerian
Senate as well as other leaders of the
National Assembly to break the Ramadan
fast with them.
Speaking with Sahara Reporters, Shehu
noted that there’s no way the president
will still meet with the National Assembly
leaders before the end of the Ramadan
fast which is likely to end on Monday or
Tuesday, June 5 (which has been
announced as Public Holiday already).
Different groups and leaders have been
hosted by the president since his return
to the country from London where he
went to treat an ear infection but the
National Assembly has been omitted.
About two weeks ago, President Buhari
was scheduled to host the leaders of both
chambers of NASS to Iftar, but the
meeting was canceled a few hours with
the Nigerian leader stating that he was
bombarded with schedules.
He said: “You will recall that the
President spent most of the days in the
Ramadan month outside the country.
“By the time he returned, a schedule had
already been made for him on those he
would be receiving daily.

Suspects linked to the Paris attacks sentenced in a Belgium court

A court in Belgium today sentenced the suspects linked to the Paris attacks.

A Belgian court has jailed four
leaders of a "terror cell" broken up in
a deadly raid in 2015, which had
alleged links to the men who staged
attacks in Paris and Brussels.
Marouan El Bali, who survived a
gunfight in January 2015 when police
shot dead two armed men, was given
16 years in prison on Tuesday, as
were two other members of the cell,
Mohammed Arshad Mahmood Najmi
and Souhaib El Abdi.
The judge said El Bali was in touch
with leading figures of armed groups
in Syria and was involved in tactical
discussions.

Prosecutors alleged the suspects were
members of an Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant (ISIL, also known as
ISIS) cell dismantled in a bloody raid
in the Belgian town of Verviers.
Prosecutors said the men standing
trial were in constant contact with
ISIL through the leader of the Paris
attacks in November, Abdelhamid
Abaaoud, and were planning an

attack in Belgium.

Horrible>>50 APC candidates set to battle for governorship ticket in ondo state

Aspirants of the APC  party include former president of the Nigeria bar Association(NBA) Rotimi Akeredolu,senator Ajayi Boroffice,Segun Abraham, Chief Olusola Oke and former speaker of the state house of Assembly, Victor Olabitan and other 50 people are jostling to win the all progressive congress governorship ticket in On do State.

About 50 people are set to battle to win
the governorship ticket for the All
Progressive Congress (APC) in Ondo state
and more candidates are still expected to
emerge.
According to The Punch, the rise in
number of governorship candidates seems
to be giving the party’s leadership a
serious concern.
It was gathered that the issue of how the
governorship candidate will emerge in a
rancour-free atmosphere has become what
one of the APC chieftains termed as a
must-not-fail assignment of the party’s
National and State Working Committees.
The aspirants are sure of securing the
party’s ticket, thereby giving no room for
consensus or imposition of candidate by
the party’s leadership. Each of them had
expressed the belief that any candidate
presented by the APC for the forthcoming
election would have an easy ride to the
Alagbaka Government House, Akure, on
February 24, 2017.
Leading aspirants of the party are former
president of the Nigerian Bar Association
(NBA), Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN); Senator
Ajayi Boroffice, Segun Abraham, Chief
Olusola Oke, former Speaker of the state
House of Assembly, Victor Olabimtan,
Bode Ayorinde and Chief Bukola Adetula.

Others are Boye Oyewumi, Moyosola
Niran-Oladunni, Niran-Sule Adesuyi,
Foluso Adefemi, Dele Alade and Senator
Tayo Alasoadura, who currently
represents Ondo Central Senatorial District
at the Senate.
In a bid to emerge as the candidate, many
of the aspirants were said to have met
with the national leaders of the party to
have their “blessings” while various party
leaders, both men and women across the
18 local government areas of the state,
seem not to be experiencing the current
economic downturn in the country as a
result of the money being showered on
them by various aspirants who regularly
visit them for endorsement.
The party leaders have noted that the
candidate that will emerge must be a
politically experienced member from the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria. This,
they said, would ensure that the person
would be loyal and have respect for the
party authority if he eventually becomes
the governor of the state.
A source within the leadership of the
party said, “The party leaders both in the
state and at the national level know
where they are going over the issue of
candidacy; they know who they want to
be the candidate of the party in the
election. When the time comes, the boys
will be separated from the men among
the aspirants. Let them continue to come
out, it is a welcome development for the
party, it shows that our party is a
beautiful bride in the state now.”
Isaac Kekemeke, the chairman of the
party, has insisted that the party had no
anointed person among the aspirants. He
had said the party would take the
necessary procedures to ensure the
candidate emerged through a free, fair
and credible primary.

Read the powerful message buhari got from a reverend father

Reverend father Vincent idanwojo,the parish  priest at our mercy queen of Martha catholic church, Abuja has advised the president to solve the problems of high cost living and insurgency in Nigeria..

The Parish Priest told journalists on

Sunday, July 3 at Abuja that the present

economic crunch in the country has made

it important for President Muhammadu

Buhari’s administration to review the

monthly salaries/minimum wage of

workers.

On the other hand, the Reverend Father

praised the president for his commitment

at waging war against Boko Haram

insurgency and corruption.

President Muhammadu Buhari

Idawonjo appealed to the people of

Nigeria regardless of their religious

beliefs to continue to pray for President

Buhar and people in position of authority

in order for them to provide exemplary

leadership to the citizens.

The Parish Priest said: “We need to pray

for them as enjoined in the Bible.

“We can equally criticise them

constructively for the good of the land.

The president should try and ameliorate

the sufferings of the masses to further

enhance his credibility and goodwill

among Nigerians.

“The president can tackle the current

economic challenges headlong and make

life easy for the common man by easing

the pain on transportation, reduction of

sky- rocketing market prices, and a

review of minimum wage.’’

The Reverend Father also spoke on the

ongoing crisis between the leadership of

the National Assembly and presidency. He

urged all parties to allow the rule of law

prevail.
