Olusegun Ajayi, for allegedly raping a 15-year-old housemaid in Arepo,
Ogun State.
The NSCDC authorities said the suspect had canal knowledge of the girl which caused her to bleed for two days.

claimed to be a devout Christian, said he did not know the victim prior
to the incident.
He said, “On Saturday night, I was
returning from a party and was about to enter my house when I saw the
girl sitting outside. I asked her what she was doing outside late at
night but she said she was working in a house not far away from my
workplace and was sent to buy sweets by her employer.
“She said she was locked outside and
that she had been knocking for hours but no one came to open the door
for her. I then told her to follow me to an uncompleted building on the
street. On getting to the building, we saw a mattress there which had
been left behind by labourers. I asked her if she could sleep alone
there but she said no.

Jonathan Grants Amnesty To Boko Haram Sect
Indications emerged last night that President Goodluck Jonathan may have resolved to declare amnesty for the Boko Haram sect.
This was the outcome of a meeting between the president and the leadership of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) at the presidential villa, Abuja.
This is even as Jonathan has summoned a security meeting with chiefs in the country, which will be held today at the presidential villa.
Jonathan also used the occasion to deny ever ruling out amnesty for the sect.
The president is expected to set up an amnesty commission to fine- tune details of clemency to the sect members.
Former Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Prof Ango Abdullahi, told State House Correspondents after the meeting which ended at about11:30pm that the president’s response to the call for amnesty at the meeting, which is sequel to the one held between the president and the NEF in May last year, was positive and that he assured the NEF delegation that the amnesty for the insurgents will be tabled before the security meeting today.
Abdullahi said, “The meeting is simply a follow-up visit on the invitation of Mr. President. Many of you will recall that about eight or nine months ago, we interacted with the president on matters of the nation.

General Overseer held for robbery begs church members
Pastor Ibikunle Olanrewaju John, 37, is the General Overseer of ‘The Way of Joy’ church, located at the Ikotun Egbe area of Lagos State. He is among seven suspected robbers arrested over the robbery at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, which occurred on March 13, 2013. Two policemen were killed during robbery and several citizens injured.
John has a sinking look on his face as he stared at all the swarming faces before him. For some time now, he had been living a double life: that of a robber at night and a minister of God during the day.
Detectives investigating his involvement in the robbery alleged that he is the armourer to the gang and had taken part in a lot of robberies with the gang.

Boko Haram Is Your Baby, Buhari Fires Back At Jonathan
Former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday,
slammed President Goodluck Jonathan, describing the virulent sect, Boko
Haram, as a creation of the present administration.
President Jonathan, through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe had on Tuesday challenged General Buhari to persuade members of the sect to accept dialogue as a means of ending the orgy of violence in the North.
General Buhari, who apparently was angered by the Presidency’s attempt to link him with the sect, asked Jonathan to leave him alone and find ways of resolving the Boko Haram crisis, which he said, was borne out of the failure of his government.
Buhari, who fired back at Jonathan through the National Publicity Secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, noted that it was wrong for the Presidency to accuse him of not calling Boko Haram to order when he did not have any relationship with the members.
He also faulted Okupe, for referring to Buhari’s presidential ambition as inordinate, saying that the attack was ill-motivated.

Ghanaians Mad At Chris Brown For Calling Azonto A Nigerian Dance
While
granting an interview yesterday, Chris Brown revealed he had infused
the Ghanaian dance move into his latest video and attributed its
origination to Nigeria. He also recalled meeting Nigerian pop singer
Wizkid who taught him the dance move.
Understandably,
Ghanians are unhappy about CB’s wrong assumption on the origin of
Azonto, with one blog ‘Ghana Celebrities’ posting in an article ‘WTF:
Chris Brown Talks About AZONTO On BET, But He Says The Dance Is A Nigerian Thing
See
how the site reported it “It seems Chris Brown coming to Ghana and
introducing Nigerian artiste-Wizkid on stage to do Azonto was not a mere
mistake. In fact, Chris Brown thinks Azonto is a Nigerian thing

he is taking the piss out of Ghanaians by failing to credit Ghana with

A government source told our correspondent that the decisions were part of the recommendations made by a White Paper Committee set up by the government on the Oronsaye report.

Foreign airlines may stop flights into Nigeria
The 24 foreign airlines flying into Nigeria are in dilemma on whether to stop or continue flights into the country as the Federal Government has yet to approve their summer schedule, five days after the commencement of the summer season on March 28, 2013.
It is illegal for any airline to fly into another country without getting approval for its winter and summer seasonal schedules from the host countries, aviation experts familiar with the situation have said.
The approval is usually given days ahead of the expiration of the current season’s schedule in order to avoid a situation where an airline has to ground its flight operations while waiting for approval.
Although most of the foreign airlines have begun implementing their winter schedule, which has yet to be approved by the Ministry of Aviation, a number of them are, however, worried that the delay in the approval process may put them in an unpleasant situation.
A country manager of one of the foreign airlines, who spoke to our correspondent in confidence because of the sensitive nature of the subject said, “We are in dilemma whether to stop our flights to Nigeria or not because we don’t know why the summer schedule has been delayed up till now. We started implementing our summer schedule since March 31, but we are very worried.
“This has not happened in a very long time. So, that is why we are worried. The approval comes usually days ahead of the commencement of the new season’s schedule.”
It was gathered that one of the numerous implications of not getting approval for the schedule before flying was that in the event of a crash or major accident, insurance companies might refuse to pay compensation to the affected airline and its passengers because such would be regarded as an illegal flight.
The development has generated concerns among the foreign airlines’ executives and top officials of the Ministry of Aviation, who felt that any further delay might force some of the carriers to consider halting their flight operations into the country so as not to find themselves in an unpleasant situation.
Findings revealed that the airlines’ winter schedules expired between March 28 and 31, depending on each carrier’s schedule.

With the mind of a psychologist, I would say she was kidnapped,raped and intentionally tortured to death by maybe an enemy.It pains me most to know that the wicked barbarians who did this to are out there walking the streets freely.
May God have mercy!

Stop Using Boko Haram To Blackmail Us - Northern Leaders To Jonathan
Northern leaders, yesterday, frowned at what they described as a desperate attempt by President Goodluck Jonathan and his administration to blame the rising wave of insecurity in the north on the leaders.

The leaders vowed to resist any attempt by the Presidency to use the Boko Haram onslaught to blackmail them instead of taking proactive measures to nib the insurgence in the bud.
The grouse of the northern leaders was that whereas the President had earlier claimed that he could not offer amnesty to Boko Haram members as they were ghosts, he went ahead to call on Northern elders to enjoin Boko Haram to stop bombings in the country.
A member of the Northern Elders Forum, Dr. Junaid Mohammed and National President of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, who spoke separately to Vanguard described the action of the government as a deliberate attempt to blackmail and provoke the north.

for medical treatment. See the statement below...
“Our attention has been attracted by some curiosity in a cross section of the public and particularly the media, about the movement of Her Excellency, the First Lady, Dame (Dr) Patience Goodluck Jonathan. For the avoidance of doubts and ambiguities, we wish to state that the First Lady travelled to Dubai, after which she proceeded to Paris, France, to participate in the 1st Green Women Conference, which took place in Paris on March 17, 2013 where she received the 2013 Global Women Leaders’ Award for Peace.
