ALLEGED TARGET OF CHURCH MASSACRE AT OZUBULU BREAKS SILENCE
Bishop who was at the palace of Igwe Nnamdi Oruche, the traditional ruler of Ozubulu when Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers paid the monarch a condolence visit on Tuesday, August 15th, urged the traditional rulers in the state to invoke the spirits of the gods of the land to reveal the perpetrators of the massacre.
According to the Sun, Bishop said that since the traditional rulers were custodians of tradition in their various communities, they would pray that gods of the land should reveal the killers of the church worshippers and bring them to justice.
Reacting to allegations leveled against him as being one of those behind the attack, Bishop said
“Has anybody previously brought any complaint against me for any reason. Anybody I offended should come out publicly and say it.”
He stressed that the various empowerment programs he has initiated are pointers to the fact that he is a peace loving person. He added that God has blessed him enough to help others and that people should not be envious of that. He advised those making negative statements about him to stop immediately.
It has been alleged that the attack is as a result of a drug deal that went south between Bishop, a suspected drug dealer, and another alleged drug lord, in South Africa.

SENATE PASSES NIGERIAN PEACE CORPS BILL
The Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, in its report, which was considered at the plenary on Tuesday, strongly criticised the establishment of the corps.
But the lawmakers adopted the report of the Senate and the House of Representatives’ Conference Committee, which was presented by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior, Bayero Nafada.
The NPC bill was passed in the House of Representatives in June 2016, while it was passed in the Senate in November of the same year.
In the report represented by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, David Umaru, at the plenary on Wednesday, the panel picked holes in the creation of the NPC but said there was the need to reciprocate House’s passage of the bill.
The report stated in part, “The powers, functions, e.t.c., of the Peace Corps call for concern and this committee would wish that they are subjected to further examination.
“The creation of jobs through this platform is laudable but this can be achieved by strengthening existing agencies and not necessarily creating a new one so as not to overburden the Federal Government; and that the Committee noted that the House of Representatives has adopted the Conference Report and the need for reciprocity.”
The report read in part, “After the presentation of the report (by Nafada-led committee), sundry issues were raised, which elicited debate for and against the consideration of the Conference Report.
“After extensive deliberations, the Senate in its wisdom deferred consideration of the Conference Report and mandated the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters to look into the issues raised and report back.
“It is on record that the Senate is not considering the bill afresh but is addressing the uncertainties surrounding the Peace Corps that were raised at the plenary when the Conference Report was presented.
“The issues raised by distinguished senators at the plenary are fundamental and they go to the roots of the corps’ operations, which are subject of litigation.
“The operations of an organisation like the Peace Corps in other jurisdictions, particularly in the United States, the American Peace Corps which is used as a model does not operate as a permanent and pensionable employment as intended in Nigeria under this proposed legislation.
“Rather, its employment is for a limited period of five years only for regular employees and 24 months for volunteers.
“The operation of the Peace Corps is limited to social and economic development only in other jurisdictions as indicated in their mandate, pursuant to Section 591 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 1990, in the case of Nigerian Peace Corps.”
The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in his remarks, said, “The long journey has finally reached the Promised Land.”

"FAYOSE IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE CLOWN"~~ SAGAY
He made the claim while reacting to Fayose’s recent threat to release damaging photographs of President Muhammadu Buhari to prove that he is critically ill in London.
Fayose, while addressing reporters had said, “If they go further and try to continue to deceive Nigerians, I will release about 11 damaging pictures anytime from now on the President’s health.”
But, Sagay in his reaction to the statement cautioned the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum against his comments,thus; “Fayose is an irresponsible clown. Given his age and position, he is an embarrassment to this country. Each time he opens his mouth, he reduces his non-existent esteem”.
“He does have any esteem, so whenever he talks, he just reduces himself to nothingness. So, he is talking rubbish and should be ignored. I believe he has been ignored at the federal level. Let that continue.”
