Anti-Buhari protest in London enters second day

The #HarassBuhariOutOfLondon protesters returned to Nigeria House in London today to demand President Muhammadu Buhari return to Nigeria for his medical checkup.

The protest, led by a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, began yesterday.

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently in London where he would be spending two weeks to enable him to undergo a medical checkup.

However, Reno Omokri and his group insisted the president must be forced to return to Nigeria on the account that he has failed to build a single hospital in his country.

“If General Muhammadu Buhari had built hospitals, his former Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, would not have died, “Omokri stated today.

“Buhari is so selfish that even after that incident, he still did not take measures to improve Nigeria’s health sector, because he can go to London. Other nations built hospitals in record time. Buhari built ZERO! If a whole chief of staff to the President and a former Governor of Oyo could not be treated for #COVID19 in Nigeria, then which Nigerian is safe? That is why we wnt Buhari to build hospitals in Nigeria. Join me. Let’s Harass BuhariOut Of London.

“You can still do your part to #HarassBuhariOutOfLondon. Research it. Former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Olusegun Obasanjo received treatment at Aso Rock clinic and also built hospitals for Nigerians. But Muhammadu Buhari, who has not built any hospital, is in London enjoying hospitals he refused to build back home.

“Our doctors are on strike because he pays them peanuts. But he is here paying millions of Naira to English doctors. The address is Abuja House, 2 Campden Hill, Kensington, London W8 7AD. Go there. Observe #COVID19 protocols. Limit yourself to socially distanced groups of 6. Once over 6, form another group. Chase Buhari back to Abuja, Nigeria, Omokri added.

Omokri had earlier accused Buhari of trying to stop the protest with the help of the London Police.

He said: “When General Muhammadu Buhari’s people called the City of London Police on me this afternoon, I calmly asked the officer questioning me this question:

‘Officer, has Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, ever come to Nigeria to access healthcare? So, why should you be called on me when I am asking my President to return to Nigeria to use our hospitals?’

“The police officer was touched. He told me I was within my rights and flashed the thumbs-up sign and allowed the #HarassBuhariOutOfLondon protest to continue. Buhari’s people failed big time!.”

‘Aiye’ confraternity head kills rival ‘Eye’ leader in Lagos

In what appeared a quest for supremacy, the leader of ‘Aiye’ Confraternity in the Bariga area of Lagos State, Segun Ezekiel, has killed Taye Gbalagbala, leader of rival cult group ‘Eye’ Confraternity in the area.

It was gathered that the incident happened on March 28, 2021.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Saturday, said 24-year-old Ezekiel confessed that he murdered 30-year-old Gbalagbala.

Adejobi said Ezekiel has been arrested and the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered that the suspect be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and arrest of other fleeing culprits.

He said, “The suspect has been alleged to be a notorious cult leader and killer who has been terrorising the entire Bariga Area of the state. He has confessed to the crime and that he carried out the gruesome murder of the deceased in company of other three members of Aiye Confraternity in his domain.”

Also in the statement titled, ‘Police Arrest Aiye Confraternity Leader For Killing Rival Eye Leader, Neutralise Armed Robbery Gang’, the PPRO said policemen in the Ikorodu area of the state engaged armed robbers in a gun duel on March 29 and neutralised some of criminals.

The statement partly read, “The suspected armed robbers had laid a siege on the block of flats at the above address, cut the American fence wire and broke into the flats in the compound. They robbed the occupants of their belongings including laptops, phones, one PS-4, gold necklaces and wrist watches worth millions of naira.

“After the gun duel, the team assessed the scene and discovered that two of the suspected armed robbers were fatally injured and eventually gave up the ghost. Their corpses have been deposited at a public morgue for further actions.

“The following items were recovered from them: two locally-made guns with four live cartridges, one big cutter, three schizles, one jack, two scissors, one apple laptop, one catapult, bank ATM cards, three black bags, wrist watches, military Camouflage and the sum of four hundred and sixty thousand, six hundred and fifty naira only (N460,650).”

Adejobi added that the police commissioner has mandated the police in the area “to fish out other members of the syndicate and those who venture into similar criminal acts of house braking and burglary in the entire Ikorodu Division of Lagos State”.

“CP Hakeem Odumosu, therefore, reiterated the command’s zeal to work with all relevant stakeholders in combating crimes and criminality in Lagos State,” the PPRO added.

American rapper DMX in critical condition after drug overdose

American rapper, DMX, suffered from a drug overdose on Friday night and is currently in critical condition in the hospital. 

Sources close to the rapper told TMZ that the overdose occurred at his home at around 11 PM and it triggered a heart attack.

DMX was rushed to a hospital in White Plains, New York and is in the critical care unit. 

While some sources state that the rap artiste has ‘some brain activity,’ others say he is in a ‘vegetative state’ and doctors have cautioned that he may not make it.

Years ago, DMX, who was the cornerstone of the Ruff Ryders label, battled substance abuse and has been to rehab several times. His last rehab stint was in 2019 after he completed a 12-month sentence for tax evasion.

At the time, he hadn’t relapsed as he checked himself into rehab out of fear that he might again, as he felt tempted to use drugs.

DMX made his return to the stage following rehab in December 2019 when he hit Hakkassan in Las Vegas, chatting it up and taking photos with fans before he hit the stage.

During the Vegas show, he took a moment to tell fans, “When you fall down, get back up. Everyone here has been through some s**t and you never know what God is willing to do for you until you need him to do something for you.”

The last time he performed was in July 2020, when DMX faced off with Snoop Dogg in a Verzuz battle, which saw more than 500,000 viewers tune in, proving he still had an incredible ability to thrill an audience.

Vladimir Putin is Russia’s s.e.x.i.e.s.t man, Russian poll finds

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been declared the s.e.x.i.e.s.t man in the country.

According to a poll by the Russian job board site, SuperJob, the 68-year-old Kremlin leader is the most good looking man in the country.

In the report which was published on Friday, April 2, SuperJob surveyed 2,000 Russian men and women. When asked who the most attractive man in the country was, 18 per cent of men and 17 per cent of women voted for Putin. But this was down by one per cent in each group compared to the previous year.

“Russians still call Vladimir Putin the most attractive of the famous men in the country,” the site said. “In this field neither actors, nor athletes, nor other politicians can compete with him today.”

Putin has been pictured with his shirt off sometimes fishing, holding a fun or riding on horseback while on holiday in the past.

He insisted in 2018 that he was not embarrassed about the topless snaps and said he saw “no need to hide behind the bushes” while on vacation. The photos were largely seen as an attempt to cultivate a powerful image of a man of action.

And that seems to have worked, according to the latest poll.

The leader maintained a comfortable lead on his closest competitors actors Dmitry Nagiyev, Danila Kozlovsky and Konstantin Khabensky, with only 2-3 per cent of respondents finding them the most attractive.

It should be noted that 19 per cent of men named themselves as Russia’s most handsome man. And 18 per cent of women said there does not exist a single handsome man in all the land, according to the Times.

The results were published mere days after legislators passed a law allowing Putin to stay in power as president until 2036.

The survey was carried out by interviewing 1,000 men and 1,000 women in more than 300 cities across Russia between March 22 and March 31.

Igbo women threaten to protest naked over herdsmen killings

Ndinne Igbo, an all women socio-cultural organization, has threatened its members would march naked across Igboland to protest killings by herdsmen in the region.

The group condemned the recent herdsmen attack in Enugu and Ebonyi states by herders.

It stated that many Igbo children have become victims of herdsmen attacks.

The Ndinne Igbo group in a statement signed by its President, Mrs. Beatrice Chukwubuike, on Saturday called on Nigeria and Igbo leaders to arrest the terrible situation before it degenerates into anarchy.

Similarly, another group, the Coalition of Christian Leaders in the southeast zone said its members would march to all Government Houses in the South East to show displeasure on the way the killer herdsmen issue is being handled.

Pastor Okey Idika, the spokesman of the coalition, noted that the Christian community in the Southeast would be abandoning its duties if it’s unable to make the world know its feelings on the matter.

Baby makes history as first human to be born with three p3nises

For the first time in medical history, a baby born in Iraq is born with three p3nises. 

Hailing from Duhok in the country, the three-month-old baby was brought to the hospital by his parents because he had swelling in the scrotum. 

When the doctors examined, it was ascertained that he had two more p3nises emerging. While one was coming out near the root of his primary p3nis, the other one that is situated under the scrotum. 

The doctors called this a rare case because the child was not exposed to any drugs in the womb as well as there was a significant absence of genetic anomaly in his family history. 

Triphallia (three p3nises) is an unreported condition until now. It affects one in every 5-6 million live births. 

However, it was later seen that the additional p3nises did not have a urethra, hence they had to be surgically removed. 

This very case is considered to be the first-ever case of Triphallia as it was documented.

The victims identified as Abdulkadir Bello, Tukur Bello, Philip Yakubu, Habu Yarima and Ya’u Misa, were returning from a wedding ceremony in Garin-Baka around midnight on motorcycles when the soldiers on patrol allegedly opened fire on them.

One of the youth, Isah Umar, who escaped, said he and his friends riding on motorcycles back to their village, Basa, ran into the soldiers who, on sighting the convoy of their motorcycles, opened fire on them.

According to him, he escaped into the bush, but his friend, Habu Yarima, who conveyed him on his motorcycle was not lucky, as he was hit by a bullet and died instantly.

No work, no pay – FG tells striking doctors

The Federal Government has threatened to implement the ‘no work, no pay’ policy if the striking National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) refuse to resume work.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, issued the threat when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“By Tuesday, I will invite them back. If they become recalcitrant, there are other things I can do. There are weapons in the Labour Laws, I will invoke them. There is no work, no pay,” Ngige said.

Ngige pointed out that the current hazard allowance of ₦5,000 for doctors was fixed in 1992, adding that the government will review this.

The Minister said that the Government would look into an upward review of the amount in five weeks’ time, but did not disclose the proposed figure.

“The new hazard allowance will be done in the next five weeks. It is in the Memorandum of Action that we signed. Immediately after the Easter break, I will convene a meeting to look at it holistically,” he added.

The doctors are currently on an indefinite strike over alleged failure by the government to fulfil its obligations to them.

While the doctors were embarking on strike, President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday left Nigeria for the United Kingdom where he will spend a minimum of two weeks, carrying out what his aides described as routine medical check-up.

Air force dismisses Boko Haram’s claim of downing missing fighter jet

Two personnel on the missing Nigeria Air Force Alpha jet were feared dead following reports that the aircraft had crashed at the outskirts of Maiduguri, Borno State.

The NAF identified the two men as Flt Lts. John Abolarinwa and Ebiakpo Chapele.

The Air Force dismissed claims by terror group, Boko Haram, that it gunned down the missing Alpha jet, which disappeared from the radar on Wednesday.

It said there was no confirmation of the claims, noting that the clips posted online by the group might be that of a previous incident.

Boko Haram had claimed responsibility for downing the aircraft in a viral video on Friday.

The Abubakar Shekau-led faction of the Boko Haram sect released the footage of a crashed jet with one of its fighters standing on the wreckage. A body was also seen in the wreckage of the aircraft.

The NAF spokesperson, Edward Gabkwet, said the aircraft which lost radar contact on Wednesday around 5pm was providing support for ground troops fighting Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East region when it disappeared.

Gabkwet in a statement on Friday added, “Intelligence report gathered by the Nigerian Air Force indicates that the Alpha Jet aircraft (NAF475) that went off the radar with two crew members on board on March 31, 2021, might have crashed. The cause of the crash as well as the whereabouts of the two pilots remain unknown.

“The pilots are Flight Lieutenant John Abolarinwa and Flight Lieutenant Ebiakpo Chapele. Extensive search and rescue efforts are still ongoing by NAF surveillance aircraft as well as NAF Special Forces and Nigerian Army troops on ground. At this point, the NAF is not ruling out anything regarding the incident. It however remains hopeful that the crew would soon be found and rescued.”

Gabkwet in his reaction to Boko Haram’s claims insisted that the video was fraught with inconsistencies that established it as fake, adding that the lush vegetation in one of the videos suggested it was not in the North-East.

He said, “We have seen some videos but there is nothing that has proven that the aircraft in those clips belongs to us, or have you seen a Nigerian Air Force aircraft number or the body of Air Force pilot or have you seen any Air Force uniform? Until we get all these details, we are not going to go into speculation.

“That video could have been shot somewhere. I have seen four videos so far; one of them has lush vegetation in the background, and I wonder where they have such vegetation in the Northeast. Unless they did something and they are releasing the clips bit by bit, we are waiting.

“Except we have evidence, because like I said, these persons have families and you cannot go to their wives, parents or wards, without concrete evidence. There must be something to show”.

Herdsmen return to Igangan, cut retired principal’s hands

Suspected Fulani herdsmen have launched a fresh attack on Igangan in the Ibarapa North Local Government Area of the state.

Punch correspondent gathered that some herdsmen on Friday afternoon attacked a retired school principal, Ojedokun Ogunmodede.

The reason why his assailant attacked him was not clear but sources close to the victim said there was no confrontation between him and the herdsmen who inflicted machete injuries which almost chopped off his two hands.

The Secretary of Ibarapa Farmers Union, Mr Taiwo Adeagbo, who is popularly known as Akowe Agbe, told punch correspondent on the telephone that the retired principal is his relative.

Adeagbo, who is fighting for the rights of farmers in Ibarapa, said herdsmen had not stopped destroying farms and attacking farmers in the area despite the public outcry against their criminal activities.

He said, “The victim is my relative. He is a retired principal and he should be around 62 years old. I was called to see what happened to him. I immediately called the Commissioner of Police (Ngozi Onadeko). She said I should report to the police officially and I called the DPO in Ayete. He came with two officers and two vans loaded with armed policemen.

“The DPO could not look at the pictures of the victim. They were gory. Strands of flesh are preventing the two hands from falling off after the attack. The two hands are almost off. They have ruined his life.”

When contacted on the telephone, Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi, said he had not been briefed about the incident.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi, when contacted said the attack was a reprisal by a herder to an earlier attack against three Fulani by some youths in Igangan.

He said, “Information from DPO Ayete revealed that a Fulani herdsman attacked and macheted a man in his farm by causing injury to his hands.

“The attack was a reprisal by some youths in Igangan, three Fulani herdsmen were attacked and they sustained injuries while they were rushed to an hospital in Igboora for treatment.

“The DPO Ayete and his police personnel including Pmf were drafted to the scene to prevent further attack. The aggrieved youths were dispersed and normalcy restored.”
