UNIBEN PROFESSOR MURDERED IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE IN BENIN

Professor Paul Otasowie

Professor Paul Otasowie of the Department of Electrical Electronics Engineering, University of Benin, has been murdered by the armed men in front of his residence on Ekehuan road in Oredo Local Government Area of the state on Wednesday evening.

There was, however, speculation that the professor  was either assassinated  by cultists or gunned down by suspected armed robbers.nAccording to another version of the incident, the deceased , was allegedly shot during an attempted kidnap.


The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr. Michael Osasuyi, confirmed the incident to The PUNCH on Thursday.

Osasuyi stated, “We lost him (Otasowie) yesterday. We are trying to gather the right information now (because) we are getting different versions.


“The first version said that it was an assassination (while) the second version said that it was armed robbery, that he was inside a car and they shot him.”

He described the death of the professor as a huge loss to the university community, adding the deceased was a hardworking and dedicated staff.

Osasuyi said, “For now, the university cannot ascertain what has transpired. But we are sending delegates now to the house to meet with the family.

“We commiserate with the family and it is a big blow to the university. He was one of the persons who have ensured that work is done and done well.”

He, however, noted that the institution was concerned about the level of insecurity in the state.

“The vice-chancellor, Prof. Orunmwense is saddened with this development. We just wish that this insecurity in Edo State is looked into. Just recently, (Joseph) Osayomore was kidnapped.

“The level of insecurity now is becoming something else. The vice-chancellor commiserates with the family and the school is mourning,” the spokesman added.

"I TOLD NNAMDI KANU THAT NO NATION HAS SURVIVED CIVIL WAR TWICE"~~ CHIEF JOHN NWODO

The President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo and former Information Minister, Chief John Nnia Nwodo was in Umuahia, the Abia State capital,on the 6th October,2017,for the inauguration of the Abia State Chapter of leading Pan Igbo Organization........and said:

"This is my first visit to Abia State since after the unfortunate events of the past few weeks. 
Some months ago, I invited Nnamdi Kanu to my house and we met for three hours. I told him clearly that both in my personal capacity and as President General of OHANEZE NDIGBO, that though there are structural imbalances and lots of injustices in Nigeria, I will never ever support any action that will lead to the shedding of blood in Igboland. No nation in history has survived two civil wars. 

I saw the Biafran war with my two eyes. My father was the Minister for Local Government in the Eastern Regional Government of Dr. Micheal Okpara but I fought on the front lines. I was a full Lieutenant in the Biafran Army. I fought in Ore. I fought in Orlu. I fought in Enugu. I taught at the Biafran School of Infantry. 

I worked for several months at the Biafran Airport at Uli and I saw first hand, the unimaginable carnage suffered by our people. Available records show that 1.5 million Biafran were killed in battle. About 1 million were killed by hunger and malnutrition while another 1 million remained unaccounted for. I saw our mothers, wives and daughters being violated. 

At the Uli Airstrip, I saw the C160 planes that brought supplies for us as they carried hundreds of Biafran babies that were sick and malnourished. Most of them less than a year old. They were packed into the planes like sardines. More than half of them didn't survive the rigors of the flight as their tender heads hit the iron body of the planes during flight turbulence or air attacks. The ones that survived, more than half never came back home.

I told Kanu that war is not an option. I made that point clearly to him. I also told him to tone down his language. He should stop abusing the President of the Country and stop calling Nigeria a zoo. A zoo is where wild animals are kept. If you say Nigeria is a zoo, it then means that all of us are wild animals. Even if you don't like the President as a person, you must respect the office he occupies. In Igboland, we respect our elders. We don't abuse them in public no matter the level of difference. I told him to stop abusing our Governors. In particular, i told him to stop abusing the Imo State Governor by calling him Okoroawusa and questioning his paternity except you have the result of a DNA test which proved that his father didn't give birth to him. By questioning his paternity, you are indirectly abusing our wives and mothers. That is unacceptable.

I told him to stop calling the President a paedophile. That is wrong and I won't condone that. My own mum had her first child at the age of 13. In the olden days, once a girl attains puberty in Igboland, forms breast and starts menstruating, she is ripe for marriage. So, you are indirectly abusing the culture of our people.
IPOB wants an independent Biafra. OHANEZE NDIGBO wants a restructured Nigeria with strong regions and a weak center where each region will control her resources, have their own constitution while royalties are paid to the center to manage foreign affairs, immigration, defence, currency matters, etc. 

Instead of talking tough and threatening fire and brimstone, let's work together and push for a restructured Nigeria. Let's sit down and talk with Abuja. If we form a common and united front, the Federal Government will listen to us.

Abusing the President will not give us Biafra. Abusing other tribes and calling them names will not give us Biafra. Telling Igbos to stop attending churches with Yoruba pastors will not give us Biafra. It will rather widen the gaps between us and these other people who themselves are victims of the injustices in Nigeria. It will annoy them and they will abandon us. We can't push this alone. We need the support of our neighbors. By abusing and threatening others, you put the lives of our people who live there in danger.

I said all of these to him and he refused and kept going on and on. At a point, they started abusing me too. Calling me names. I was never offended. They are my children. That is burden of fatherhood and I am prepared to bear it.

Our people have a saying "what an elder sees sitting down, a young person cannot see standing up". ........”

MYSTERIOUS' SSSS' CODE ON USA BOUND PASSENGERS BOARDING PASSES MEANS EXTRA SECURITY CHECKS AND DELAYS !

United States bound airline passengers who find 'SSSS' stamped on their boarding passes will face extra security checks and delays, it has been revealed.


This  innocuous (SSSS) code, which applies to travelers flying into the United States, stands for 'Secondary Security Screening Selection'. It means the pass holder has been selected to undergo a more extensive security screening process before boarding their flight.

The screening process, which may include bag searches, pat downs and validating identity, is conducted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).


The TSA insists travelers who receive the 'SSSS' are selected at random, but some have claimed they are pulled aside most times they travel, according to Lifehacker.
Buying one-way tickets or paying in cash could land passengers on the TSA's secret list and lead to frequent 'SSSS' checks, the publication said.

A passenger may be able to tell they will have to undergo additional checks if they are unable to print their boarding pass at the airport's self-check-in.
 Failure to take part in the enhanced security screening will result in the traveler being denied boarding.
The scheme was introduced after the 9/11 terror attacks, to help security officials monitor potentially dangerous individuals from entering or leaving the U.S.


Secondary Security Screening Selection or Secondary Security Screening Selectee, known by its acronym SSSS, is an airport security measure in the United States which selects passengers for additional inspection. The passengers may be known as Selectee, Automatic Selectee or the Selectee list.  The number of names on the list fluctuates and is a secret, although the Transportation Security Administration apparently says there are tens of thousands of names on it.

The Selectee list has been cited by civil liberties groups to be infringing on privacy rights and potential for racial and ethnic discrimination

MAN WHO HELPED RECAPTURED 'CHILD KILLER' IFEANYI DIKE REWARDED N1 M AS PLEDGED + HOW HE WAS CAPTURED (PHOTOS)

Thomas Gwom, the man who gave information that led to the re-arrest of suspected ritualist/child killer, Ifeanyi Dike has received the N1 Million pledged by the Commissioner of police.

Ifeanyi Dike had allegedly raped, killed and removed vital organs of an eight-year-old girl, Victory Chikamso, before escaping from police custody with the help of Policemen who have been dismissed from service and are facing trial.

Here are photos of the Commissioner of police redeeming the force’s pledge.

HOW IFEANYI DIKE WAS RE-ARRESTED

Mr Dike,he didnt know it was the wanted Ritualist ........He posted this before the Police announced Mr Dike had been captured...

This is Mr Dike After he was recaptured after Mr Gwom beat the living dazlights out of him....


Hello Stella, I am S****** and also a BV, cousin to the victim of Ifeanyi Dike the ritualist that raped and killed the 8 year old girl in Rivers State. Below is the account of what happened between my cousin by name Thomas Gwom and that Ifeanyi. Pls help us get this out there for people to know what is going on.

This was his first post but by then we didn't know it was Ifeanyi the wanted guy. This happened in Barkin-Ladi Local Government, Plateau State.

 Ifeanyi Dike after receiving good beating

''I want to thank all my friends and well wishers who wished me well during my ordeal.... But I need to mention this because it will shock those who know the story. The Person who broke into my home intending to steal and basically murder me was none other than the ritual killer "Ifeanyi Dike".


The wanted criminal who escaped custody in Port Harcourt for killing and raping an eight year old girl and removing parts for rituals. He came to my home town over two weeks ago and basically found a free room in one of our laundry rooms that wasn't used and stayed there without anyone's knowledge for sometime, until he got the boldness to attack me in the early hours of the morning this past Tuesday,that lead to the capture of this notorious criminal who almost basically stabbed me to death after a long struggle for about 25 minutes and I overpowered this animal.

 My greatest surprise in all this is that after bringing this animal to the police the police now went on air and are claiming responsibility for efforts that wasn't theirs without acknowledging the sacrifice I made by getting myself stabbed in the face.Ifeanyi Dike was caught in Barkin Ladi Local Government in early hours of 7am on the 5th of September and I Thomas Gwom is the one who caught him and am ashamed to look at this police force taking credit and shouting over the media''

NIGERIAN "MOST WANTED" FEMALE FRAUDSTER CAUGHT IN GHANA AFTER MONTHS ON THE RUN

A Nigerian woman dubbed “notorious Nigerian Female Serial fraudster”, Bridget Enchill Obeng aka Naana,  has been finally napped by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)  of the Ghana Police Service after  nine months on the run.


She is said to have defrauded over 10 victims under the pretext of selling vehicles to them.


Reports from Ghana say the police had earlier arrested a woman suspected to be Enchill Obeng at Osu on May 14, 2017, but upon investigations the law enforcers realized that it was a mistaken identity; and on the orders of the Director General in-charge of CID, COP Bright Oduro, she was granted bail.

Upon a tip-off, Enchill was later busted by the Osu police in another case and was later handed over to the CID for investigation.

According to the police, more law enforcement officials – the Tesano, Adabraka, Teshie and Airport police are also investigating her for fraud.

Her Modus Operandi :

The Director in-Charge of Operations at the CID headquarters in Accra, ACP Peter Gyimah, told DAILY GUIDE that Enchill Obeng, who operated with the name Naana, displays various vehicles for sale with her contact numbers on them.

When interested persons contact her, she then arranges to either meet them or asks her accomplices to do so and in the process, takes from prospective buyers monies ranging from GH¢9,000 to GH¢50,000 and absconds, leaving the victims to their fate.

Enchill Obeng, according to ACP Gyimah, takes the buyers to other persons she claims are the real owners of the vehicles.

After the money has been paid, Enchill and her cohorts then present the victims with fake car keys and documents and asks them to go for the vehicles.

When the victims get to where the supposed vehicles are parked, they will not find them (vehicles).

When they return to the place where the money was paid, they do not meet anybody.

Police investigations have revealed that the suspect and her accomplices often use apartments with owners outside the country or hospitals for their nefarious activities.

Six of the victims of Enchill Obeng told the police that their monies were collected at the Korle-Bu Teaching, 37 Military and the Ridge Hospitals.
