It was learnt that two persons, including a police officer, were shot dead while others sustained various degrees of injuries in the process.</p> <p>What was supposed to be an all-night marathon prayer session , tagged ‘Koboko Night’, meant to cast out demons tormenting some members of the church, turned sour as the masked armed robbers, numbering six, shot sporadically, ordering the members to go back to the church shortly after they said the final prayers to depart the church.</p> <p>The robbers had, on storming the church premises, rained bullets on the roof and ordered members to lie down. Consequently, they raped the women.</p> <p>One of the victims, who narrated her ordeal to Sunday Vanguard, said, <em>“Though I was not raped, I was beaten mercilessly when they were asking us to identify the pastor and we refused. After collecting our phones, money and jewelleries, they ordered some of the ladies to undress. They threatened to kill them if they refused and, of course, they removed their clothes and were raped one by one.</em></p> <p><em>“It was actually two churches that they attacked. They raped five women in our church. Later, we found out that they raped two others in a church close to ours. They ransacked the church and collected any cash they found and escaped. It was a horrible sight”.</em></p> <p>The raped women are said to be receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital on Ekenwan Road, Benin City.</p> <p>Meanwhile,a 50-year-old self-acclaimed pastor, John Ojebe, has been arrested and charged to court for allegedly duping a lady, Hawo Umoru, of the sum of N390,000 under the pretence of selling her Adonai oil to wash her private parts.</p> </div>

Excerpts</p> <p> <b>How does it feel being married?</b><br /></p> <blockquote class="tr_bq">It feels great. I won’t say I’m more responsible now because I have been responsible long before getting married. I have two kids. One way marriage has changed me is, I now know what our parents went through in raising us.For me, I’m now more composed. I try not to worry too much. I’m more focused because I need to work hard to look after my family.</blockquote> <p> <b>Has your life changed since you became a father and has it, in any way, affected you and your career?</b><br /></p> <blockquote class="tr_bq">Yes, absolutely! My life has changed but it hasn’t affected my life. I still show my six packs. I still kiss people in the crowd. I still take my semi-nude pictures, travel etc. I’m still me and it’s all still part of the business.<br /> <a id="more" name="more"></a></blockquote> <p> <b>On singing in Igbo</b><br /></p> <blockquote class="tr_bq">Sometimes, if we don’t sing in Igbo, our people will crucify us (laughs). If you listen to P-Square, you will hear Igbo, English, Pidgin English; even French we try. For us, English is a universal language and I’m not singing in Igbo to try and please my people but I like to inculcate my culture through music.</blockquote> <p> <b>On rumours that P-Square is planning to split or has split.</b><br /></p> <blockquote class="tr_bq">Not at all. We just had a minor quarrel just like everyone who has siblings would. We fight and make-up; we fought many times last year but we still go on stage and perform and nobody knows. I can’t come out and say Paul and I have never fought.It’s like a couple who has been married for over 20 years would come out and say they have never fought. It’s impossible; we are humans. It’s a normal thing.</blockquote> <div style="border: 0px;color: #333333;font-family: Lato, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;line-height: 17px;padding: 10px 0px;vertical-align: baseline"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align: center"><a href="http://ift.tt/1b5KxHP" style="margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em"><img border="0" src="http://ift.tt/1b5KxHP" /></a></div> </div> <p><b>On rumours their brother, Jude has resigned as Psquare’s manager.</b><br /></p> <blockquote class="tr_bq">It’s the same thing; family quarrels. We argued and made-up. He didn’t resign. We are still working together and, even when we quarrel, we don’t allow it to collide with business. There is a line drawn there.</blockquote> <p><b>You guys portray an image of living luxurious lives with jets and lavish cars. How has this affected your image in the public eye?</b></p> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <p>It didn’t affect us. As a matter of fact, it made us even stronger. A lot of people think we are showing off but the truth is if we were not showing off, you would not know what we are worth. If you see me on okada, you won’t pay me ten million to come and do a concert. They say, everything we do – people post it; everything we have, we show off and that we are not Dangote. My dear, Dangote is not in showbiz. Whatever we do, we do because that’s the way it’s supposed to be. What we do is show-business. It’s a show and it’s business so that’s what we do.</p> </blockquote> <div id="stcpDiv">It has been good. I remember when we had our first concert outside Nigeria. It was fantastic because when we were young, we used to see people faint, cry and rush for autographs of Michael Jackson. We thought they were just acting until it started happening to us.</div> </div>

I’ve left him and washed my hands.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">But Fashanu, 52 – dubbed Fash the Bash for his hardman reputation in Wimbledon’s famous “Crazy Gang” – hit back with an extraordinary series of allegations.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">He said he had to call in police to protect him from knife-wielding Abigail and was devastated to find her in bed with another woman.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">He also alleged that she stole thousands of pounds in cash from their marital home.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Speaking exclusively to the Sunday People the star – who now presents the Nigerian version of TV’s Deal or No Deal – said: “She attempted to use knives on me. It was terrifying.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“My life was at stake, there’s no two ways about that.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“Even if you did think I was sleeping with the maid, or even if you thought I was sleeping with Miss Nigeria, don’t kill me! Just leave me and go. The ­violence was just too much.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">6ft 2in Fashanu added: “My life was at risk and I didn’t want it to happen again. That’s why I filed for divorce.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">He denied his wife’s claim to have discovered him in bed with two other women – one of them their maid.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“I’ve been very fortunate to date some of the most beautiful women in the world,” Fash insisted. “I certainly don’t have to sleep with my cleaner!</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“This is me, John Fashanu, you’re talking to. It’s absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that ­story, at least let her say it’s Beyoncé or someone.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“Don’t say it’s my cleaner, that’s just b******s. It’s not true at all.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“The truth is she’s been cheating on me with a woman she calls her spiritual partner.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“I caught them in the bed many times. That was why I kicked her out of my house.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Abigail is the mother of former beauty queen Adaeze Yobo. Fashanu met her in 2009. They married two years later but the relationship hit the skids last year.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Father-of-five Fashanu claimed police are now investigating an attack on him. He also ­alleged that officers are trying to retrieve missing cash from Abigail.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">He said: “I’m the one who is filing for divorce. I couldn’t stand her and, to be honest, she probably couldn’t stand me. With Abigail it was just money, money, money.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“I’ve never seen a woman who has such an appetite for money. Nearly one million Nigerian naira (around £3,300) was stolen from my house in Abuja. There are police reports you can see.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“There were so many assaults, it was just getting too much. It was absolutely ridiculous. She attacked me on multiple occasions. The whole situation was far too hot for me. There are some wonderful, wonderful women. It’s just that I met the wrong one.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align: center"><a href="http://ift.tt/1zdbncM" style="margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://ift.tt/1zdbncM" width="221" /></a><a href="http://ift.tt/1zdbncM" style="margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://ift.tt/1zdbncM" width="221" /></a></div> <p>                                   Former beauty queen  Adaeze Yobo and mother, Abigail</p> </div> <div class="MsoNormal">Glamorous socialite Abigail, a ­qualified lawyer and mother-in-law to former Nigerian football captain Joseph Yobo, paints a totally different picture of the marriage breakdown.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">The mother of four said: “John’s saying I tried to kill him? Oh my God, this is so funny. I don’t quite ­understand all this.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“How can I kill him? How can ­somebody like me kill this huge man who is an expert in karate. I don’t ­understand how I can kill him.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Told that he had accused her of going to his house armed with knives before trying to attack him, Abigail retorted: “Oh my God, that is ridiculous.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">She also rejected Fashanu’s claim that he threw her out of his house after finding her in bed with another woman.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Abigail said: “He didn’t kick me out of his house. We were living in my house. He couldn’t have kicked me out of my own house – I kicked him out.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Of the woman concerned, she ­insisted: “She is a good friend to me. She has a husband and children. It is ridiculous. She was living with me for a while to get back on her feet.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Abigail went on: “I caught him in bed with two women, the housemaid and one other woman. There were two women, it was awful.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“They were on the bed. They were undressed. I said to them, ‘Who are you and what’s going on here?’</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“He told me that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and I should pray for him. He knows how to manipulate people, that’s one thing he is good at.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“I last saw him in April last year. I didn’t know he’d filed for divorce. He has been calling people asking them to plead with me to get back with him.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“I would have filed for divorce myself but I haven’t because I’ve been very busy. And he asked me not to because he did not want to make it known that we had separated.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“So I went on my way and I left him but I didn’t tell anybody anything.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“I’ve told him, ‘I don’t want you any more, I have forgiven you, I’m a Christian. But I don’t want you any more, just leave me alone.’</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">I don’t take him seriously. I don’t have time for him. If I should be angry at anyone, I should be angry at myself for descending so low as to enter into marriage with such a person.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Responding to claims she stole money from Fashanu, Abigail added: “Anybody can say anything – but how can I go to his house and steal from him in his house?</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">“I wasn’t living there with him. He’s sick and he needs help.”</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Fashanu was born in London to a Guyanan nurse, Pearl, and Nigerian ­barrister, Patrick. After they split up he had a spell in a Barnado’s home and was fostered in Norfolk.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">His football career included spells with Norwich City, Lincoln City, Crystal Palace, Millwall and Aston Villa.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">He joined Wimbledon in 1986 and ­famously won the FA Cup in 1988 in a team including Vinnie Jones and Lawrie Sanchez.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Fashanu scored more than 100 goals during his 17-year career, which also included two appearances for England.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">After retiring from football he hosted the hit 1990s TV show Gladiators for seven years alongside Ulrika Jonsson.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">In 2003 he starred as a contestant in the ITV reality show I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">His first marriage, to Ivory Coast model Melissa Kassa-Mapsi, ended in divorce in 2004. Now Fashanu is a famous and respected figure in Africa.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">He has carried out extensive charity work and is understood to have been a friend of Nelson Mandela.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">He is a UN Ambassador for Nigeria, a former Unicef goodwill ambassador for 53 African countries and a former board member of the Nigeria Football Association.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">He also worked to develop professional football across Africa and was Nigeria’s Ambassador for Sport and Tourism. Fashanu now presents the Deal or No Deal Nigeria game show on The Africa Channel and is a successful businessman with interests in London and Abuja.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">But the star suffered heartbreak when his brother Justin, who was Britain’s first openly gay professional footballer, hanged himself in London in 1988.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">After his brother’s suicide, Fashanu expressed remorse for disowning him because of his homosexuality.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">But he later claimed he did not believe Justin was genuinely gay.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Wife Abigail claims he has fathered six children by three different women.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"></div> <div class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile he added: “I filed the ­divorce petition in September and it’s listed for mention on the 19th of next month at the court in Abuja.

We cannot continue like this if we really want our country to be seen as a worthy member of the comity of nations,” the party said.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />It called on President Jonathan, who has been disingenuously portrayed as Nigeria’s equivalent of Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama and other great leaders of our time, to lead the way in showing that Nigeria is indeed a part of the civilized world, where every human life is considered worthy and sacrosanct.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />”Politics must not stand in the way of decency and human sensibilities. Re-election campaign must not take precedence over the welfare and security of Nigerians. It is time for President Jonathan to show leadership,” APC said.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />via nigerianeye</div><br /></div>

But the school principal, Asabe Kwabura, debunked the military's claim. Also, parents who tried to rescue the children from Sambisa Forest where they are reportedly being kept by Boko Haram had to turn back when they learnt that the sect was heavily armed and that they might lose their lives if they should move further into the forest.<br/><br /><p>But giving the new development, already some critical arrests have been made...<br/><br /><br/><br />On Friday the British Foreign Secretary, William Hague, said his country had begun talks with Nigeria over the incident. He stated this in a response made available to Punch by spokesperson of British High Commission in Abuja, Mr. Robert Fitzpatrick.</p><br /><br/><br /><p>“The appalling abduction in northern Nigeria on April 14 is a stark reminder of the threat of sexual violence faced by women in conflict prone areas. I am very concerned that the majority of the girls are still missing. I spoke to Nigerian Foreign Minister, Wali, about this case on 18 April, and we are talking to Nigerian authorities about how best to assist in their efforts to secure the girls’ release and bring those responsible to justice.”<br/><br /><br/><br />It was gathered that among those that have been arrested is a security guard at the school and some members of the Chibok community, whose names came up during the military’s interaction with some of the girls who escaped from the insurgents.</p><br /><br/><br /><p>The source stated, “The whole emphasis is on intelligence gathering; and that is why the Federal Government is contacting the US and the UK to assist in the area of intelligence gathering. Another thing you must know is that several arrests have been made, and a lot of efforts are being made.</p><br /><br/><br /><p>“The security guard at the school in Chibok is being quizzed and some people from the community too have been arrested.”<br/><br /><br/><br />It would be recalled that the girls were kidnapped in their hostel on April 14 after members of Boko Haram sect, pretending to be soldiers, lured the pupils away from their hostel before setting the building ablaze.</p><br /><br/> </div><br /><br/><br /><div style='clear: both;'> </div><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />via NaijaGossip</div><br /></div>

These are subordinate monsters that the NDE is uniquely placed and empowered to deal with. That is why EFCC considers you a key partner in the war against corruption,” he said.</p><br /><br/><br /><p>The Director General of the NDE, Mallam Abubakar Mohammed, in his address emphasised that the major obstacle to the development of any nation is corruption.</p><br /><br/><br /><p>Mohammed, who was represented by the Director of Rural Employment Promotion, Mr. Kunle Obayan, lamented that at some point in history, Nigeria was branded by the international community and some civil societies as one of the most corrupt nations in the world. He called on Nigerians to be major players in the transformation of the country. [Thisday]</p><br /><br/><br />="left"><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/> </div><br /></div>
