Special Forces Kill Scores Of Bandits Terrorising Abuja-Kaduna Road

 

Special Forces of the Nigerian military have chased dozens of bandits and other criminal elements to their hideouts in Kaduna forests and killed them.

The onslaught on the men of the underworld followed their nefarious activities along the ever-busy Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had constituted a serious security threat and unnecessary nuisance to innocent travellers.

The leader of the bandits who killed a former Director of the FCT and abducted his police orderly and many others during last Sunday’s attack on the highway was reportedly killed during a fierce battle between the Special Forces and the bandits.

Meanwhile, there was no report of kidnap incidence along the highway within the last 24 hours, even as combat-ready security agents were seen on motorbikes and other vehicles, heading to the forests in search of more bandits.

An official statement on the development from the police in Kaduna is yet to reach journalists.

Nigerian Man Jailed 15 Years For Selling Drug That Killed Teenager In USA

 

A federal court in the United States has sentenced a Nigerian man, Olatunde James Temitope Akintonde to 15 years imprisonment for selling fentanyl-laced pills that killed a 19-year-old known as SJG.

According to a statement by the United States Attorney’s Office on Wednesday, Akintonde who lives in El Cajon, California sent messages to SJG via social media to buy opioid medicines, oxycodone pills from him on February 28, 2019, which he did, used and caused his death.

SJG was found dead in his home, located in Santee, a city in California on March 1, 2019.

The statement read, “El Cajon resident Olatunde James Temitope Akintonde was sentenced in federal court today to 15 years in prison for selling fentanyl-laced pills that caused the death of a 19-year-old Santee man, identified in court records as S.J.G., in March of 2019.

Akintonde previously admitted that he sent messages to S.J.G. through social media on February 28, 2019, to coordinate a sale of what the victim believed to be oxycodone pills. Later that evening, Akintonde delivered two counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl to S.J.G.

After the meeting, Akintonde sent additional messages to S.J.G. through social media warning that he should only take one of the pills because they were 'strong.' Akintonde further admitted that the pills he gave to S.J.G. caused his death. According to other filings in the case, S.J.G. died in his home sometime in the evening of February 28, 2019, or the early morning hours of March 1, 2019.

Special Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration and a Task Force Officer from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department led the investigation into S.J.G.’s death and quickly identified Aktinonde as the source of the fatal pills. According to the sentencing memorandum, Akintonde offered various prescription pills for sale through different social media platforms.”

Aside from selling the drug and issuing several prescriptions that got SJG killed, the convict was also accused of posting pictures of himself wielding dangerous weapons.

“Akintonde also posted photographs of himself brandishing firearms and posted songs promoting the use and distribution of pharmaceutical pills,” the statement said.

“There is an epidemic of counterfeit fentanyl-laced pills in our community,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman.

“To be clear: If you are a drug dealer selling pills, and those pills result in death, you will be held accountable for that death. It is no defense to say you didn’t know the pills contained fentanyl.”

"Grossman praised the prosecution team as well as the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Narcotics Task Force Team 10 and officials from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department and the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office for their excellent work on this case.

“As the number of drug overdose deaths continues to rise in San Diego County, the DEA San Diego Field Division has made investigating overdose deaths a priority. We are committed to bringing drug dealers like Olatunde James Temitope Akintonde, who poison our communities, to justice," DEA Acting Special Agent in Charge Shelly S. Howe was quoted as saying in the statement.

"This case is the result of ongoing efforts by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate and prosecute the distribution of dangerous illegal drugs—fentanyl in particular—that result in overdose deaths.

The Drug Enforcement Administration created Narcotics Task Force Team 10 as a response to the increase in overdose deaths in San Diego County. Agents from Team 10 contributed to the investigation into S.J.G.’s death," the statement added.

Man Sentenced To Death For Smuggling 'SQUID GAME' Film Into North Korea


 A North Korean man has reportedly been sentenced to death by firing squad. His crime? Smuggling copies of the hit Netflix show Squid Game into the country on USB drives and SD cards.

According to a report from Radio Free Asia (via Kotaku), the man believed to be behind smuggling the show into North Korea has been apprehended and will be punished in the most extreme manner.

Sources also tell the network that a student who purchased a USB drive containing the show has been handed a life sentence, while six others who simply watched the show are to serve five years of hard labour. Staff at the school have also been fired, and could be sent to work in the mines.

“This all started last week when a high school student secretly bought a USB flash drive containing the South Korean drama Squid Game and watched it with one of his best friends in class,” a source in North Hamgyong province's law enforcement told RFA. “The friend told several other students, who became interested, and they shared the flash drive with them.”

Ultimately, it seems government censors received an anonymous tip and harsh action was taken against everyone involved.




What exactly is the problem with Squid Game in North Korea, then? Earlier this month, The Washington Post reported on a state-run North Korean website that claims the Netflix series, created by South Korean director Hwang Dong-hyuk, depicts an “unequal society where the strong exploit the weak” and brandishes it a reflection of the “South Korean capitalist society where mankind is annihilated by extreme competition". They're not fans, then.

It's not just Squid Game, though. It remains illegal for any North Korean citizen to watch any South Korean media. In January this year, North Korea introduced tough new laws against enjoying South Korean entertainment, with punishments that can range from fines and up to 15 years in a prison camp all the way through to the death penalty.

“Law enforcement is not playing around with the new law, and they are fiercely trying to root out every instance of capitalist culture,” a source previously told RFA.

Lagos Won’t Submit EndSARS Report To FG - Femi Adesina


 The Presidency has said that states’ judicial panels on police brutality and extrajudicial killings won’t submit their reports to the Federal Government.

Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, made this known on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast programme monitored by The PUNCH.

The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and other matters had on Monday, November 15, 2021, submitted a 309-page report to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

In the leaked report, Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel noted that at least nine persons were confirmed dead at the Lekki toll plaza when soldiers stormed the tollgate to disperse EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020.

The atrocious maiming and killing of unarmed, helpless and unresisting protesters while sitting on the floor and waving their Nigerian flags and while singing the National Anthem can be equated to a massacre in context,” the report partly read.

Sanwo-Olu, who received the report, constituted a Committee to bring forward a White Paper within the next two weeks to be considered by the Lagos State Executive Council.

The submission of the Lagos judicial panel report coincided with the visit of United States Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, to Abuja, Nigeria, last week.

Nigerian President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had told Blinken that his regime would allow the system to exhaust itself, and would, therefore, wait for pronouncements from state governments that set up panels to probe police brutality in the country.

Speaking on the television programme today, Adesina said the reports by the states’ panels won’t be submitted to the Federal Government.

When asked whether the states would submit the reports to the Federal Government, he said, “Not to the Federal Government. Under the law, Federal Government has no power to en-panel a probe by the states.

What would happen is that when the state comes up with pronouncements on that panel reports, that would then be of interest to the Federal Government; it is not as if they would bring it to the Federal Government.”

Adesina said the Federal Government would then look into areas of interest in the report and address the areas.

The presidential spokesman said Nigerians should be reminded that 36 policemen were killed around the country during the EndSARS protests last year and the perpetrators should be held accountable.

He also said America has its fair share of police brutality, adding that it was not just a Nigerian thing but a global phenomenon.

IPOB looks For New Lawyer For Nnamdi Kanu

As the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, enters a crucial stage, the umbrella body is seeking to recruit a top legal luminary to replace the current legal team that has been representing the breakaway agitator.

Although IPoB has not discarded its current legal team made up of many lawyers, some who are rendering free services based on their belief in the cause that Mazi Kanu is leading, IPoB however wants the legal team to be spearheaded by a ‘lawyer with high pedigree, generally known and highly respected within the Nigerian judiciary’.

A top source, who is close to the IPoB organization, said on Sunday that the current legal team is perceived to be populated by ‘activists’ who are best suited to work with a ‘legal luminary’ of not below the rank of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN popularly referred to as ‘Learned Silk’ in Nigerian legal parlance.

The source, who pleaded anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for the organization, said, “IPoB is looking for a highly placed attorney of a SAN status, who is well versed in the Nigerian legal system and commands respect in the circle.

“The envisaged SAN, when engaged, is expected to reorganize Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s legal team, mobilize qualified and like-minded lawyers to work as coordinated legal team to secure victory over his terrorism and treason felony charges slammed on him by the Nigerian Government.

As you can see these are very weighty and serious legal issues that require a versatile legal representation and not mere activists who many just be more interested in drawing publicity stunts at the expense of the client and we do not want anything that can affect out cause,” the source said.

We learnt last night that one of the top lawyers being seriously considered by the IPoB leadership to champion the cause of Nnamdi Kanu, is a highly respected lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu, who has a PhD in law and has been recording outstanding victories for his clients in most of the cases handled by him.

It was however learnt that Dr. Ikpeazu was not likely going to accept any offer considering the huge implications it might have on his career as a leading international legal practitioner.

It was not also clears as at least night if IPoB had even approached Ikpeazu with any offer to represent its leader as the case against Kanu comes up early next year.

As to explain the rationale for the hiring of a foreign lawyer from the U.S to represent Kanu in Nigeria, the source express reservations over the attempt to bring in a foreign legal practitioner to appear in a Nigerian court, pointing out that it might not work out at the end of the day.

“The issue of a U.S lawyer appearing for our client in Nigeria may not work 100 percent in our favour but it can at least draw international attention to our case,” the top official said.

It will be recalled that on October 18, 2021, the Federal Government had filed an amended seven-count charge against the IPoB leader bordering on terrorism and treason felony.

Count one of the charge reads: “That you, Nnamdi Kanu, male adult of Afaraukwu lbeku Umahia North Local Government Area of Abia State being the leader of IPOB on diverse dates in 2014 and 2015 in London, United Kingdom, did broadcast on Radio Biafra monitored in Enugu and other areas within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, preparations made by you and others now at large for states in the Southeast and South south and other communities in Kogi and Benue states to secede from the Federal Republic of Nigeria with a view to constituting same into the Republic of Biafra and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 41(c) of the Criminal Code Act, CAP. C77, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004;

Count two says “That you, Kanu, on or about the 28th April 2015 in London, did broadcast on Radio Biafra … referred to Maj.- Gen. Muhammad Buhari (GCON), the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a pedophile, a terrorist, an idiot and an embodiment of evil, knowing same to be false and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 375 of the Criminal Code Act, Cap C. 77, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004;

Count three: “That you, Kanu, had between March and April 2015 imported and kept in Ubulusiuzor, Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, a radio transmitter known as TRAM 50L concealed in a container of used household which you declared as used household items and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 47 (2) of the Criminal Code of Act , Cap C45, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004;

Count four: “That you, Kanu, had between 2018 and 2021 in Radio Biafra monitored in Enugu, and FCT(Federal Capital Territory), professed to be a member of IPOB, a proscribed organisation in Nigeria and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 16 Terrorism Prevention Amendment Act, 2013”.

soldiers foil bokoharam attack


The troops of 25 Task Force Brigade on Friday repelled a terrorist attack on Damboa town in Borno State.
The troops were said to have overpowered militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), in a gun battle, forcing them to flee.

The insurgents had reportedly stormed the town around 6:35 am, shooting in all directions.

When you feed those that are richer than you, God deals with you - Reno Omokri


Nothing wrong in giving money to people. But, don't go into debt to show people how much you love them. Even worse is going into debt to try to belong to a clique that already knows who belongs and who doesn't. Use your money to get wealthy, not to get attention!

When you feed the poor, God feels you. When you feed those that are richer than you, God deals with you. Your wisdom is profitable. To you. Your foolishness is also profitable. But to others. Not you. How can you give someone what your haven't given your mother?

God does not reward nice people. He rewards wise people.''

When you feed those that are richer than you, God deals with you - Reno Omokri writes

Robbers Stab Woman To Death In Ogun state


A woman identified as Sekinat Adesanya, has been killed by suspected robbers in Ogun state.

The incident happened around Moro community, close to Odokekere, in the Sagamu Local Government Area of the state at about 5:30 am on Saturday, November 13.

According to Witness, the deceased was on her way to join in the preparation for a family member's wedding ceremony when two hoodlums attacked her.

The hoodlums slit her throat with knife, dispossessed her of her phone and other valuables and fled on a motorcycle.

Residents, who heard Sekinat's scream for help during the scuffle rushed to her aid and found her in a pool of blood.

Sekinat's husband, Isa, a car programmer, said that she died shortly after the attack.

He urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his wife's death and bring the suspects to book.

"On Saturday, we were both at home when she left around 5.06am for the house belonging to my dad's younger brother. The house is just five buildings from our residence, and she went there because family members were cooking there in preparation for a wedding ceremony," the widower narrated.

"She just finished bathing the children and observed the morning Solat (prayer) when she left. We planned to quickly finish the cooking so we could leave home early because the ceremony was at Egbeda. I was the one that locked the door when she left. I was having my bath when I heard people calling my attention to what happened to my wife.

"When I got there, I saw that the people who attacked my wife used a knife to slit her throat. She was already dead, but we rushed her to the Tender Hospital, where she was declared dead.

"Those responsible for the attack stole my wife's property including her phone. The people who rushed to my wife's rescue during the attack saw the two hoodlums who attacked her. We buried her on the same day."

A community leader, Kayode Adegoke, while lamenting the insecurity in the area, said the case was reported at the Ogijo Police Station.

"Security in Moro community is very porous because the community is between Lagos and Ogun states. We have been neglected. Hoodlums who perpetrated crimes in Lagos and Ogun states and were declared wanted are relocating to our community to cause trouble. In broad daylight, they rob people of their valuables and traders in the community are now scared of doing business. They attack people going to work in the morning and returning home late at night. We want security in our community." he said.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident said they discovered that the victim was killed when the family requested a police extract to facilitate her burial.

"It was when the Ogijo Divisional Police Officer demanded to know the circumstances surrounding the victim's death and detailed men to the scene of the attack that we discovered that she was attacked by suspects who stabbed her in the neck as against the report that she was shot," she stated.

"The DPO told the family to hold the burial so a post-mortem could be carried out on the corpse for proper investigation. But the family members insisted that they need to fulfil her burial rites as a Muslim. Notwithstanding, the police have commenced an investigation and we will get to the root of the matter." she added.

Twin bomb explosions hit kampala in Uganda


Two explosions rocked the Ugandan capital's city center within 30 minutes of each other on Tuesday, according to police and a journalist at the scene of one of the blasts.

One blast went off near the Central Police Station and another near Parliament. The cause of the explosions was not immediately clear and no group has claimed responsibility.
The first explosion occurred at about 10 a.m. local time on Kampala's Buganda Road, according to the journalist at the scene.

Ugandan state minister Kabbyanga Godfrey Baluku Kiime tweeted about the explosion, saying: "There has been a bomb blast at the headquarters of [the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology and National Guidance]. All of us are safe. A few colleagues were hurt by flying window glasses and debris."

Police and army personnel cordoned off streets around the blast site and several ambulances were deployed.

Images on social media showed several people lying on the streets near the entrance of Central Police Station and Kampala's High Court, though there is no clarity on the numbers of dead or injured at this point.

At Parliamentary Avenue, where the second explosion occurred, all streets have been cordoned off by security, with legislators and parliamentary staff evacuated.

Last month, an explosion in Kampala killed at least one person and injured several others. Reuters reported that the Islamic State had claimed responsibility for that blast.
