Gallant Soldiers Catch Boko Haram Most Notorious Leader
According to Army sources, a gang of Boko Haram were intercepted at a fishing community known as Daban-Masara in Kukawa area of Borno while trying to ferry over 200 litres of Petrol.
The insurgents, led by their arrested leader, who was labelled Number “95” on the ‘100 Wanted Terrorists’ list, attempted to resist the Troops of 7 Multinational Joint Task Force Brigade’s stationed in Baga and 118 Task Force Battalion, but were effectively overwhelmed.
Spokesman of the Nigeria Army, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, confirmed the development and said the troops “sprang an ambush along Daban Masara axis usually used by Boko Haram terrorists elements to convey logistics on Thursday.
“At the encounter, one of the suspected wanted Boko Haram terrorists leaders who is serial number 95 on the first Nigerian Army wanted list of 100 Boko Haram terrorists leaders, was fatally wounded in the exchange of fire.
“He later gave up while receiving medical attention at the base, while other members of his team escaped with gun shot wounds. The troops recovered 7 Jerri cans of 30 litres containing 210 liters of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), motorcycles and food stuff in addition to arms and ammunitions”.
It was gathered that the dead leader of the Boko Haram had been a major motivational sub-leader of the insurgents in that axis of Borno.
REPLY TO AWUJALE: Where You Got it Wrong on the Yoruba Oba's Ranking
Awujale Was Wrong by Oracle
I am disappointed Awujale of Ijebu story did not include his root from Whadah with no connection with the DNA of Oduduwa.Among Oduduwa children Awujale has no seat, he is just a tolerated king in Yorubaland without the true blood of Oduduwa.
Alake came to Abeokuta as a KING and as a descendant of the direct sixteen children of Oduduwa who finally settled in Abeokuta.
If Alaafin was chased out of Old Oyo Empire after the Fulani attacked Oyo Ile will that destroy his role as first among equals when he finally found another location in the present Oyo town?
NO!
For Awujale to down grade Alake to junior king is to show that he got too comfortable with history and forgot how he manipulated his ways into the hearts of Oduduwa children, trust me, he has just reopened the primitive war files between the Egba and Ijebu. And it is not going to look good.
Awujala should stay away from the history of the Egba because the history is about the children of Oduduwa not where they relocated to after wars, he can't use internal politics in Abeokuta to score a political point.
Awujale was economical with the true position of Alake as a direct descendant of Oduduwa and the politics of the Egba.
Alake supported his position with a 1937 photograph with Ooni, Oba of Benin, Awujale, Alake , at the grade of the Kings in Yorubaland. Awujale did his own with the hatred between the Egba and Ijebu before colonization. I am disappointed in him.

UPDATE: Saraki Delays His CCT Trial Again
A case of jurisdiction which Bukola Saraki and his lawyers dragged from Tribunal to Appeal court and to Supreme court and were defeated, he changed lawyers and brought in Kanu Agabi, another SAN.
Guess what? When the case resumed today, Kanu Agabi says he's challenging that same jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Tribunal and as such the trial of Saraki cannot go on until that is first heard.
OluFamous.Com observed that efforts by Government lawyer, Rotimi Amaechi (SAN) to tell the court that this is another delay tactics by Saraki and his lawyers where frustrated as Kanu Agabi was making joke with Rotimi Jacobs in the open court, asking him 'Rotimi, should I beg you'?
Rotimi Jacobs complained that he has come under different forms of attacks and intimidation in the course of prosecuting Bukola Saraki. But Agabi threw the court into another laughter as he embarked on what seemed a charm offensive, declaring his love for the active federal government lawyer.
Justice Umar intervened and asked the defence counsel, Agabi, to serve the prosecution the motion on the challenge of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction afresh.
Jacobs said ok, the Tribunal should adjourn till Monday for argument of the fresh application.
But Agabi again asked for adjournment till next week Friday, arguing that as an old man who will be 70 soon, he would not be able to respond to the prosecutor’s brief on time. Just imagine!
When the drama became too much, Justice Umar had no choice but to adjourn the case to Friday, 18 March, 2016 for moving of the motion and possible hearing of the jurisdiction matter all over again.
Rotimi Jacobs reacted:
“The defendant [Saraki] keeps saying that there is no case against him and that he is being persecuted. Why doesn’t he let the trial start so that the whole world can see the persecution?”Don't be surprise if Saraki change his legal team again at the end of another 6 months, when they finish the case of jurisdiction, claiming Kanu Agabi is too old and they start afresh. That's Nigeria for you!
Unbelievable! Jonathan’s Government Blew N2.2b On Prayers
Jonathan’s administration blew the cash on special prayers in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.
The cash was disbursed through the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), following a proposal by a former Executive Director of the NNPC, Aminu Baba-Kusa.
Baba-Kusa, in his statement of witness filed in the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is facing trial with a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) and three others.
The others are Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited (owned by Baba-Kusa) and a former Director of Finance in ONSA, Shuaibu Salisu.
In the statement, Baba-Kusa said the N2.2billion was spent on prayers to hasten the defeat of Boko Haram.
The cash was released in two tranches of N1,450,000,000 and N750,000,000.
Baba-Kusa confessed to EFCC investigators that the contract proposal was verbal. He has promised to refund the N2.2billion by disposing of his assets.
Baba-Kusa said: “I approached the former NSA and discussed Boko Haram problems and I suggested there is need for prayers and he considered and accepted in 2013 when he first came to office.
“I personally sponsored many people locally and some few to Saudi Arabia. Some monies were later paid into our companies, which we paid to some of the mallams.
“I then arranged to recover my personal expense which I put into our own businesses.
“We have been spending a lot from our businesses and personal accounts. Money paid through UBA, First Bank and ECOBANK. For Acacia Holdings Limited(A/C 1017330319-UBA); ECOBANK(0122012650); and First Bank(Reliance Referral Hospitals Limited A/C 2022394057). The total amount is N2,200,000,000 from October 2014 to April 2015.”
He told detectives that he is not an expert, “but I used some of the mallams to organise in Abuja, Zaria, Kano, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Kaduna and Saudi Arabia covering 2013 to 2015.”
He added: “I give them funds as required from time to time, ranging from N500,000 to N30million, depending on their needs, traveling, sadaqat and others for local expenses and travels to Saudi Arabia for Umrah and Hajj.
“I reminded the NSA many times before payments were made. We grew up together with the former NSA with common friends in ABU.
“Most of the payments in cash were meant to give out cash to people that have been organising prayers. Some transfers to Acacia to other banks were for logistics and also to some mallams in cash.”
The suspect also confirmed that the prayer contract was not documented.
He added: “The proposal made to the former NSA was not documented by him or myself. The verbal proposal to him was for prayers to overcome Boko Haram within the shortest possible time.
“The engagement for prayers by organising some people to be praying was not formally written down. There was no amount of money agreed on. I said to him, I will start organising, which he agreed and said he will see what he would give at a later time."
Baba-Kusa said he had an estimate of over N700million spent “from my own resources before I started to ask for money from him”. Some of these funds came from disposal of some of my land in Abuja. One in Maitama, one in Gudu and one in Guzape. The Maitama was a little over N200million; Guzape (N80m), Gudu(N18m), he told the EFCC.
But, according to him, he kept no records of the money he gave to individual Mallams organising various groups. I requested for no acknowledgement from them when I gave money to them.”
He assured the EFCC that he would refund the said cash if he is able to dispose of his landed properties.
He said: “I am making efforts to dispose of my properties in Abuja which would be over the total amount of N2.2billion. If the sales go through and the amount from the sales is made in full, I will make full payment.”
- Chai!!! prayer is now a big business oh!
Because of Piss? Mechanic kills Friend for Urinating near shop
Trouble started in the park around 11am on Tuesday between Oshare and the friend, identified as Rasta, after he (Rasta) allegedly urinated beside a stationary truck.
Oshare challenged the deceased for messing up the spot, said to be a few steps from his shop. As Rasta tried to calm him, he reportedly slapped him, which led to a scuffle.
According to Punch, the mechanic, who was livid with anger, grabbed two bottles and stabbed the friend in the neck. He was also said to have injured some people who attempted to caution him.
Rasta reportedly bled from his injuries and he was rushed to a hospital for treatment. He, however, died before he could get help. Many shops in the park have remained closed out of fear.
A trader, Mrs. Ufom Benedict, said she tried to stop Oshare when he rushed to her shop, looking for knife.
The Chairman of the park, Mr. Martins Animashaun, said allowing traders into the park also contributed to the incident. He added that miscreants had turned the park into a hideout.
He said, “There was problem between two friends. Along the line, one died and the other one was rushed to the hospital. They are not our members. I was in the office yesterday (Tuesday) when I saw people running around and I called the police. They are still investigating the matter.
“Here is a state government-owned park and it is porous. If it is secured, we can manage people inside it. When we leave in the evening, some miscreants come here to sleep. This place is solely earmarked for a park, but along the line, the local government allowed traders into the park and turned it into a market. The more people come in, the more the problem we have. We want this park to be sanitised.”
Police say Oshare is unconscious and at a hospital where he is under arrest.
