Shallow Graves in Abia Forest: Governor Says It's True But...
They claim that the grave was not the handiwork of Biafra [IPOB] but was dug by suspected kidnappers, who killed and buried five Fulani and two Igbo men.The governors swore to aggressively tackle the menace of kidnapping in both states. They ruled out ethnic killing or killing by any group, saying it was a case of kidnapping. The joint meeting was also attended by traditional rulers led by the chairman of South East Traditional Rulers’ Council, Eze Eberechi Dick.
At a joint press briefing, shortly after rising from a joint security meeting of the two states, the governors attributed the killing to activities of kidnappers which they agreed needed to be tackled.
According to them, security operatives have been directed to raid the forest and clear it of miscreants, and warned that any property in which kidnapping activity was carried out would be demolished.
Governor Ikpeazu said that they would “re-strategise and make bold statements about the security challenges facing the two states; one of such is that we condemn the spate of kidnapping, especially the five Fulani men that were abducted and assassinated in the forest.”
Governor Okorocha said, “We are here to join forces with Abia and to see how we flush out criminal elements in the two states, particularly the recent kidnapping of five Fulani herdsmen. We condemn the killing of five Fulani herdsmen and two Igbo, who were buried in the forest.
“The culprits have been arrested and they will face the full wrath of the law. I assure you that all of them that were involved will pay the ultimate price for their action. I also want to make the world understand that it was not an issue of ethnicity or hatred for any group, but a case of kidnapping."

50 Women with VVF Get Free Repair Surgeries from SNEPCo/NNPC
A total of 50 women formerly suffering from the deeply embarrassing
consequences of Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) have been given a chance to
live normal lives again. This tremendous change was brought about a
recent Extended Hands Foundation’s Pool effort in Kebbi state sponsored
by SNEPCo/NNPC.
Since its inception, the goal of the Extended Hands Foundation founded by Nollywood star actress Stephanie Linus has been to restore hope and put smiles on the faces of women. The women had the repair surgeries done at no cost to them and their families.
The exercise which was carried out at the Ministry of Women Affairs & Social Development VVF Center in Gesse, Birin-Kebbi was a successful one as the women all had successful surgeries and were nursed back to health at the hospital. Before the surgeries, many of them had been shunned and separated from their families as a result of the embarrassing effects of the condition. Some of them lost their jobs, their husbands, and were forced to live in degrading conditions. Thanks to the successful surgeries, they are now back with their loved ones and are living their dreams.
Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) is a serious disability that can be experienced by women after childbirth. They are holes resulting from the breakdown in the tissue between the vaginal wall and the bladder or rectum caused by unrelieved obstructed labour. The consequence of such damage is a woman’s inability to control the flow of urine or faeces. It occurs more often in young women during childbirth, as their bodies are not yet mature for the process.
The project was headed by the Chief Surgeon - Dr Sa’ad Idris, a seasoned
VVF Surgeon with over 20 years experience in the field. He was assisted
by Dr Halima Bello, a Consultant and other doctors and nurses at the
VVF Center.Since its inception, the goal of the Extended Hands Foundation founded by Nollywood star actress Stephanie Linus has been to restore hope and put smiles on the faces of women. The women had the repair surgeries done at no cost to them and their families.

Against the backdrop of her recently released movie, DRY, Stephanie
Linus who has been an advocate for issues concerning child brides has
taken the message of restoration and hope to real women suffering from
VVF. This pool effort goes a long way to show that DRY is more than just
a movie, but a tool for touching the lives of women actually living
with this condition.

“It is a credit that is on the table as soon as we identify the
projects,” the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, told

“It won’t need an agreement to be signed; it is just to identify the projects and we will access it.”
Also, the President's man on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, offered $15m agricultural assistance to Nigeria for the establishment of 50 demonstration farms.
The deal was in response to Buhari’s vow to make Nigeria self-sufficient in food production.
The offer, according to Shehu, was made during talks between Buhari’s delegation and high-ranking Chinese government officials led by Jinping.
During the talks, China and Nigeria also agreed to strengthen military and civil service exchanges as part of a larger capacity building engagement.
In line with this, China offered to raise its scholarship awards to Nigerian students from 100 to 700 annually, while 1,000 other Nigerians would be given vocational and technical training by China annually.
Shehu quoted Jinping as applauding the war against corruption being waged by Buhari and assured him that Nigeria would always have a special place in the affairs of China.
Buhari, after the talks, directed that technical committees be immediately established to finalise discussions on new joint Nigeria/China rail, power, manufacturing, agricultural and solid mineral projects.

Update On UNIPORT Protest: School Shut Down As Two Die
One of the students, Peter Ofurun, who was hit by a bullet from a policeman, died instantly.
A female student, also hit by a bullet was rushed to the hospital, but sources said she died on the way.
The UNIPORT students’ protest had halted academic and administrative activities in the institution as they demanded the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sunday Lale, should address them and reverse the policy.
The late Ofurun was a student in the Faculty of Management Science before he met his untimely death. His corpse was later taken to the African Independent Television station in Port Harcourt.
It was alleged that the two students were hit by bullets when policemen opened fire to disperse the protesting students from the busy East-West road they had occupied for hours.
However, the state Police Public Officer, Mr. Ahmad Muhammad, told Punch that no life was lost.
“No reported case of loss of life throughout the students’ protest. What the police did was just the discharge of their mandate of restoring normalcy and orderliness in the university,” Muhammad said.
Funny enough, there are photos of the corpse of late Ofurun, OluFamous.Com also sighted the photos
Tompolo Still On The Run, Drags FG To Court From Hiding
Tompolo, who approached the Federal High Court in Lagos through his lawyer, Mr. Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, is seeking an order, restraining the Federal Government and its agencies from proceeding with the N45.9bn fraud charges filed against him.
The defendants in the suit are Federal Government of Nigeria, the EFCC, the Inspector-General of Police, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Naval Staff and the Chief of Air Staff.
Tompolo, through Adegboruwa, is contending that
sections 221 and 306 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act,
2015, which prohibit him from seeking stay of proceedings in his trial,
are infringing on his constitutional rights to fair hearing.
He is urging the court to not only nullify sections 221 and 306 of the ACJA but to also restrain the Federal Government, the EFCC and the IGP from deploying those sections of the law against him.
Adegboruwa argued that sections 221 and 306 were in conflict with Section 36 of the Constitution, which guarantees his client’s right to fair hearing.
The suit followed an appeal filed by Tompolo against the dismissal of his application seeking to set aside the arrest warrant issued against him by Justice Ibrahim Buba on February 8, 2016.
Tompolo is urging the Court of Appeal not only to vacate the arrest warrant issued against him but to also disqualify Justice Buba from presiding over his case.
Adegboruwa said Justice Buba must suspend all actions on the charges against his client pending the decision of the Court of Appeal.
The EFCC had since January this year charged Tompolo alongside nine others before Justice Buba for an alleged N45.9bn fraud. But Tompolo went under, employing lawyers to go to court on his behalf.
