goat’ has human look, hair, head and female genitals. We were attracted to the
scene as people raised the alarm”.

leader, according to Osun

Ekiti, Oba Samuel Oyebade. The village will offer sacrifice to appease the gods

BREAKING NEWS: ASARI DOKUBO ARRESTED IN COTONOU
According to Sahara reporters, the leader of the Niger
Delta People’s Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, was today arrested
in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
“We want to
emphasize that Alhaji Dokubo-Asari carries on legitimate business and has been
living partly in Benin Republic for many years now,” Keyamo said in his
statement. “In fact, he owns houses, schools and an academy in that
country. All these places have been searched as at this evening and nothing
incriminating was found.”
He suggested that Dokubo’s arrest and detention may be a
ploy by “certain forces in Nigeria in unholy alliance with the Beninoise
government” to keep his client away as 2015 approaches.
“We call on the Nigerian government to immediately
intervene and ensure that no harm befalls Alhaji Dokubo-Asari and to use all
diplomatic means to secure his immediate release and safe return to Nigeria,”
he said.
It will be recalled that has vowed
in recent times that unless Mr.
President Jonathan retains the presidency in 2015, Nigeria would break up! He also made a lousy comment at a meeting of Niger Delta, Igbo and Middle Belt groups, in
May, 2013,says thus:
“Today, if anything will stir me to fight, it is my belief that
Biafra was right. When I was growing up, we were told a lot of things to hate
Biafra. Maybe some of us were persuaded. But the more I grow up, the more I
realize that it was the greatest mistake we made for not allowing Biafra to
stand.
“You might not feel the pain that I feel, but if an Igbo man does not feel the
pain that I feel, I am sorry for him. If an Urhobo man doesn’t feel the pain, I
am sorry for him.
“What
Ojukwu lived and died for, in the coming years, we will see it with our eyes
because of the arrogance of a few people that were born to rule, and everybody
accepts it. When you want to talk they say leave them alone. Why should I leave
them? If you don’t bend your back, nobody will ride you.
“For the first time in history, the divide and rule tactics of those who have
kept us down failed and the Igbo voted more for President Jonathan than the
people of the South-South.
“Our
gathering today is to bring the gathering of the dispossessed and oppressed
people of the Middle Belt, Ndigbo people and the people of the Niger Delta
together and we are going to move like a force.
“Let
nobody be apologetic. What we want is political power. Political power is the
key to our development and our dignity, and political power we must own come
2015. If President Jonathan says he is not contesting, we must hold on to the
presidency. Either an Igbo man takes it or someone from the Middle Belt, we
will continue to hold it.”
ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: STELLA ODUA LIED AND SHE FINALLY BOXED HERSELF TO CORNER
Stella
Oduah, Nigeria’s embattled Minister of Aviation, was at it again, this time,
the untouchable Minister, manufactured a big lie meant to divert attention from
the corruption scandal involving her, by alleged assassination attempt on her
life!
On Monday evening, 26, November,2013, Nigeria’s
embattled Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, reported to the police that her
car came under gunfire by unknown persons at Maitama area of Abuja on Friday at
10.30 p.m.
This
story was corroborated by Nigerian Police, through the Police Public Relations Officer at the Federal
Capital Territory, Altienne Daniel, who confirmed that; “The incident was reported to us on Monday
at exactly 5.45pm and we are subjecting the metallic object we recovered from
the car to ballistic test. I can’t say whether the object is a bullet or not,
so I can’t give you any information on it for now,”
However,
the cross-sections of Nigerian did not subscribe to this Oduah faked ‘gun attacked’.
Below are some of the comments made by Nigerian:
“Nigerians
are very wise and no one believes her story. No one had tried to kill her in
the past, why is it now that she is under investigation for atrocities she has
committed that someone would shoot at her car?”
“Everybody
can arrange with anyone to shoot at his or her car, especially when we are not
in the car and when we are under investigation.
“The
issue here is simple, she broke the law, she has been indicted and should be
removed. Nigerians will not fall for cock and bull stories,” said. Mohammed
Tukur, member of the Airlines Operators
of Nigeria, said.
While
Debo Adeniran, Chairman Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, said that; “The
cooked-up story is an attempt to silence those who had remained critical of the
prudence behind the purchase of the two bullet-proof cars at whopping sum of N255m
by Ms. Oduah,”
“Does
it not sound more like a make-believe thing that the incident that occurred on
Friday was not reported until Monday? It is clear that the story is an attempt
to justify the shenanigans perpetrated by the Minister.”
Adeniran
added.
.
In
his own comment, Captain Dele Ore, President Aviation Round Table, said, “I
will not talk about that Minister until she is fired.’’
According
to activist Achike Chude, he maintained that; “They are separate issues. Let
the police deal with the serious allegation of assassination attempt while the
government deals with the serious problem of corruption involving her” . In
addition Chude said “Can a system built on corruption and nurtured and
dependent on corruption fight corruption? Ultimately, corruption destroys
everything including those who perpetrate it.”
Justice
Ohuegbu, a lawyer and human rights activist, while speaking during a television
programme on Tuesday morning asked the police to stop embarrassing itself over
something the Force knows is not true but cooked up.
According
to him, the story was fabricated and “Nigerians
are not fools. The incident was stage-managed. We have been having billions of
naira being stolen…Nigerian leaders make themselves enemies to the people.”
Darlington
Agomuo, said: “as far as I am concerned, I don’t think the drama is necessary.
When you have done something doubtful, there is no need adding to it.
“We
don’t really know what happened. The police had pre-empted us. So they refused
to allow us doubt the story before they could confirm.
“She
is drawing attention to herself again and this can embarrass the Peoples
Democratic Party and the Jonathan government because I am not sure Jonathan
sent her to lie to Nigerians again. This is something I find difficult to
understand because they draw attention to themselves unnecessarily. The
impression they want us to get is that the bullet-proof car is very important.’’
“We don’t even need police confirmation on
this. Personally, I think Oduah is not making her case any better.
“The
police should not be too quick. If those who shot were actually after her life,
they would have done their homework very well, not to shoot at the car when she
was not there,” he said.
Dipo Olayoku, on his own said the confirmation
given to the incident by the Nigerian Police has even done more damage to the
incident and the corruption allegation against the Minister.
“Nigerians
would want to know when it happened, what hour it happened, what was the level
of success of the would-be assassins and other reasons behind the attack,” he
said.
Olayoku,
also lamented that; “The House of Representatives did investigation and is
finding it difficult to submit its report. The Federal Government set up its
panel and the panel submitted its report secretly and there is nothing coming
out from it,”
