It was accumulated that CSP Umeh had been having a passionate illicit relationship with Mrs. Lawrentia Asuquo, Etim's better half for quite a while before he was at long last gotten at about 7:00pm on April 27, 2020, at their home at Aba Ukpo Estate, which isn't excessively far from where the Akwa Ibom State Police Command in Uyo is found. 
Affirming his trial to SaharaReporters, Etim said that the randy senior cop had been having a sexual illicit relationship with his significant other for quite a while and that he has been seeking after a day that he will get them. 
He stated, "At whatever point I travel to Calabar where I do my business, I, for the most part, get reports that my significant other welcomes her sweetheart, CSP Umeh, to our marital home to go through the night. 
"They were having a sexual illicit relationship in my home not disapproving of the nearness of my home assistance, a kid of 15 years of age." 
As indicated by Etim, karma, be that as it may, abandoned the cop and his better half when he got a tip-off that CSP Umeh was in his home again to go through the night on April 27. 
Following that data, Etim chose to come back to Uyo. 
He stated, "On returning home at night last Monday, I got the CSP with my better half living it up on the wedding bed." 
Etim said he was incited on observing CSP Umeh in bed with his significant other and chose to go up against him alongside his cousin that accompanied him from Calabar as an observer. 
Following the showdown, the police officer came up short on Etim's home with his significant other and surrendered his SUV. 
Around two hours after the fact, intensely equipped officials from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad raged his home with his double-crossing spouse and captured him, his cousin, Mr Patrick Okon Edet, and his home assistance, Christopher Bassey. 
They were taken to the Akwa Ibom State Police Command. 
On getting to the police order, Etim said that the police tormented him and erroneously charged him, his cousin and home assistance of "attacking" CSP Umeh and "taking his cell phones". 
Etim was kept illicitly from April 27 to 30th when he was briefly discharged to proceed to scan for the keys of the SUV having a place with CSP Umeh which was surrendered at his home. 
Be that as it may, the cousin and home assistance were kept in police authority from April 27 April to May 4 when they were summoned under the watchful eye of a Chief Magistrate Court in Uyo on exaggerated accusations of attack and taking. 
Etim said that when he was discharged, he chose to go to the emergency clinic for clinical looks at as blood continued originating from one side of his ear because of torment by the Officer-in-Charge of General Investigation, a Superintendent of Police named Ekene Nwosu, and other cops at the Akwa Ibom State Police Command. 
He said that SP Ekene utilized a board to hit his ear and furthermore attacked his home assistance and continued yelling at them for battling with Umeh. 
Shockingly, on getting to his home after he was discharged, Etim met his three-room level condo unfilled. 
He said his neighbors and bequest the board revealed to him that his significant other accompanied outsiders and moved out the entirety of his properties and family things and migrated to an obscure area. 
"At the point when she was stood up to by individuals in the domain, a certain SP Ekene educated the home administration to permit my significant other to leave the home with every one of my properties or face the outcomes," he said. 
As indicated by the charge sheet got by our journalist, the three men were blamed for hitting the cop with a jug.

THE REFUNDED $311 MILLION WAS AN INVESTMENT NOT LOOTING"-DADDY FREEZE

Popular Nigerian On-Air-Personality, Daddy Freeze has said he sees former Head of State, Sani Abacha‘s loots which have been returning to Nigeria at higher dollar-naira exchange rates, as an investment and not as loot.

Pardon President Buhari on his certificate, he doesn’t know where he kept it – Lai Mohammed begs Nigerians See (video) below

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, September 6, begged Nigerians to pardon President Buhari on his certificate. When asked about Buhari’s missing certificate, Lai Mohammed said the Nigerian President deserves to be pardoned because its been 53 years since he left secondary school and he doesn’t even know where he kept it. 


This is coming after President Buhari's Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari admitted receiving President Buhari' Cambridge University WASC Certificate while testifying at the Presidential tribunal.


Oh God protect your people, Prophet of Christ Army ministry Micheal Mbonu, in Ulakpo, Owerri North kill and kidnapped church member.




 Michael Mbonu, prophet of Christ Army Ministry in Ulakpo, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo state has allegedly kidnapped and killed his church member, Princewill Ezeji.

Ezeji was said to have gone to seek blessing from his cleric with his latest priced possession, a Toyota Camry car, and was killed and dispossessed of the car by the supposed man of God.
One Kingsley Udemba, 24, said to have capitalised on the situation to fleece Princewill’s family the sum of N960,000 as ransom, claiming to have abducted the then missing man was also paraded.
The state commissioner of police, Rabiu Ladodo who paraded the suspects before newsmen in Owerri, stated that the prophet had initially kidnapped the victim before getting rid of him.
Ladodo disclosed that once men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) from the command got wind of the disappearance of the victim through his brother, Emeka Ezeji who reported the matter, they immediately swung into action and arrested the prophet.
Upon his arrest, the police boss said, the suspect took the police to where he murdered the victim, adding that some personal effects like phone, car and SIM card, which the victim took to the prophet’s residence, were recovered.

Ex President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe has died aged 95



Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's first post-independence leader, has died aged 95.

His family confirmed his death to the BBC. Mr Mugabe had been receiving treatment in a hospital in Singapore since April.

He was ousted in a military coup in 2017 after 37 years in power.

Mr Mugabe's early years were praised for broadening access to health and education for the black majority - but his later years were marked by rights abuses and corruption.

He won Zimbabwe's first election after it secured independence from the UK, becoming prime minister in 1980.

He abolished the office in 1987, becoming president instead.

Twitter post by @edmnangagwa

President of Zimbabwe
@edmnangagwa
 It is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing on of Zimbabwe's founding father and former President, Cde Robert Mugabe (1

Who was Robert Mugabe?
Mr Mugabe was born on 21 February 1924 in what was then Rhodesia - a British colony, run by its white minority.

He was imprisoned for more than a decade without trial after criticising the government of Rhodesia in 1964.
Mugabe: From war hero to resignation
In 1973, while still in prison, he was chosen as president of the Zimbabwe African National Union (Zanu), of which he was a founding member.

Once released, he headed to Mozambique, from where he directed guerrilla raids into Rhodesia. But he was also seen as a skilled negotiator.

Political agreements to end the crisis resulted in the new independent Republic of Zimbabwe.

Media captionZimbabwe's week of upheaval that saw Mugabe ousted
With his high profile in the independence movement, Mr Mugabe secured an overwhelming victory in the republic's first election.

But over his decades in power, international perceptions soured, with an increasing number of critics portraying Mr Mugabe as a kind of dictator.

In 2000, facing serious political opposition for the first time, he seized white-owned farms to resettle black farmers, causing economic disruption but boosting his popularity among supporters.

Around the same time, pro-Mugabe militias used violence to influence political outcomes. In 2008, when he lost the first round of the presidential election, attacks on the opposition resulted in his rival pulling out of the contest.

He famously declared that only god could remove him from office.


Mr Mugabe's downfall came after suspicions that his wife Grace might succeed him

He was forced into sharing power in 2009 amid economic collapse, installing rival Morgan Tsvangirai as prime minister.

But in 2017, amid concerns that he was grooming his wife Grace as his successor, the army - his long-time ally - turned against the president and forced him to step down.

What has the reaction been?
Deputy Information Minister Energy Mutodi, of Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party, told the BBC the party was "very much saddened" by his death.

"As a government, we are very much with the family members of the Mugabe family," he said.

"He was a principled man: he could not change easily over his beliefs. He's a man who believed himself, he's a man who believed in what he did and he is a man who was very assertive in whatever he said.

"This was a good man."

Not everyone agreed, however.

Zimbabwean Senator David Coltart, who was once labelled "an enemy of the state" by Mr Mugabe, said his legacy was marred by his adherence to violence as a political tool.

Twitter post by @DavidColtart

David Coltart
@DavidColtart
 I’ve read several tweets stating that #RobertMugabe death is the end of an era. I beg to differ. Regrettably the negative aspects of his legacy - violence, disrespect for the rule of law, corruption & abuse of power - live on in the new regime which overthrew him in the 2017 coup


"He was always committed to violence, going all the way back to the 1960s... he was no Martin Luther King," he told the BBC World Service. "He never changed in that regard."

But he acknowledged that there was another side to Robert Mugabe - "a man who indeed had a great passion for education - and I think he mellowed in his later years.

"There's a lot of affection towards him, because we must never forget that he was the person primarily responsible for ending oppressive white minority rule."

The government of neighbouring South Africa tweeted its condolences, labelling Mr Mugabe "a fearless pan-Africanist liberation fighter".

The BBC's Shingai Nyoka, in the capital Harare, said Mr Mugabe was likely to be remembered for his early achievements.

In his later years, people had called him all sorts of names, but now is probably the time when Zimbabweans will think back to his 37 years in power, she said.

There's a saying here - that whoever dies becomes a hero, and we're likely to see that now, our correspondent adds.

Xenophobic: 125 looters arrested by Lagos police command



Xenophobic: 125 looters arrested by Lagos police command At least 125 looters have been arrested by the Lagos State police command in connection with destruction of properties owned by South Africans in the wake of Xenophobic attack on Nigerians in South Africa.


The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Adamu, has also ordered water-tight security around embassies, foreign missions, foreigners and their businesses within the country.

Xenophobic: 125 looters arrested by Lagos police command

The order is against the backdrop of the unfortunate attack on Shoprite outlets in Lekki area of Lagos Sate on 3rd September, 2019 by some miscreants who attacked and looted the Malls ostensibly under the pretext of protesting against the incessant “xenophobic” attacks in South Africa.

A statement issued by Frank Mba, Force Public Relations Officer, said to this end, all Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police and Commissioners of Police across the federation had been placed on red alert to ensure no similar violence is replicated within the country.

The statement said the IGP condemned the violent attacks and noted that three police officers were seriously injured and a Police operational vehicle set ablaze. “He also notes that a total number of One Hundred and Twenty-Five (125) suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident while a good number of looted valuables have been recovered by the Police.

“While recognizing the rights of citizens to air their views on salient national issues as enshrined in our statutes, the Force reiterates that these must be done within the confines of the law. Miscreants and criminally-minded people who masquerade as genuine protesters are therefore warned to stay-off the streets of Nigeria as the Force will not hesitate to bring to bear the full weight of the law on any such law breaker.

“Parents and Guardians are therefore enjoined to prevail on their children and wards to desist from acts capable of causing breakdown of law and order in the country,” the statement said.

The Cameroon pupils who risk being shot if they go back to school .




An abandoned school in anglophone Cameroon.
 A school ban enforced by separatist rebels has affected 600,000 children in English-speaking areas

T
he lessons at Seraphine Akwa’s house were supposed to be secret. She had been teaching at a primary school in Bamenda, in anglophone Cameroon, but repeated threats had forced the headmaster to shut the school’s doors.

The threats were from the “Amba boys”, separatists who have been fighting a two-year battle with Cameroon’s francophone government to break off and form their own state, Ambazonia. They enforced a school boycott to protest against educational injustices against English-speakers.
Thousands of schools were closed. Many were burned and now lie in ruins or are being swallowed up in weeds. Teachers have left the anglophone regions in droves.

Akwa was struggling to make ends meet, so when several parents approached her, anxious for their children to receive an education, she agreed to take seven private pupils in secret.Cameroon’s government launched a back-to-school campaign over the summer, but ongoing gun battles mean that any children walking to school at the start of term this week run the risk of being shot, and there is no clear end to the conflict in sight.
This had been going on for several months when one Saturday, five Amba boys came to her house. Akwa was cleaning vegetables, and as soon as she saw them, she stopped what she was doing.
“They said they had been told that I continued to teach children at home. I lied that they were my neighbours’ children,” she said. “One of them asked me to shut up. He was the youngest of them all. He said I should stop it immediately, because they have declared no school in Ambaland. I was afraid. My neighbours were watching from afar. I apologised to the Amba boys and they left.”
Schoolchildren’s studies are collateral damage in many conflicts, but in anglophone Cameroon, education was a major trigger for the crisis, and schools and those teachers still trying to work are themselves a target.
Only 100 schools of 6,000 remain open, according to the Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Africa – the other 5,900 have been closed down. Unicef said 80% of schools were shut, 74 destroyed and 600,000 children affected by the school ban. The head of basic education for the north-west said school attendance had gone down from 422,000 in 2017 to 5,500 children today.

Government officials have put the number of closed schools at around 3,000 and said around 200 had been burned. The government claims it was separatists that torched the schools, but the separatists say military forces destroyed many of them when they found they were being used as rebel bases.
After the Amba boys left, Akwa immediately cancelled all her classes and left Bamenda, ending up in Logbessou, a neighbourhood of Douala. She found work, but struggles to make enough to live in Cameroon’s biggest city. She cannot grow beans and corn there as she did in her garden at home, so she has to buy them.
Sometimes she thinks about the pupils she left behind – like Noela, who was in primary school when the crisis began, and should have been well into secondary by now. She is not going to school. “Her mother told her to learn a trade,” Akwa said.
The consequence of so many girls being out of school is that the rate of teenage pregnancy has shot up, community leaders say.
Many of the older boys whose studies were abruptly stopped began driving motorbikes to make a living. When the government banned motorbikes in much of the north-west region for several months, residents of the city of Kumbo say, many then joined the separatists.
Fifteen-year-old George, whose name has been changed, said he had not been recruited by separatists because they valued physical strength and he was small for his age. He still wears his old blue and white school pullover to keep warm but has not been to school since 2016, instead spending his days hunting animals to sell and learning how to farm.
“I want to learn. I want to be educated, because I want to help myself in future,” he said. But if school does not resume this year, he could be well into adulthood by the time he has caught up on the lost years.
Whether they should support the back-to-school campaign has split anglophone separatists and protest leaders. A local chief was kidnapped last month as he oversaw the clean-up of one high school, according to the Cameroonian journalist Mimi Mefo.
Others who spearheaded the schools boycott now advocate its end, saying the long break in education has further marginalised the anglophone regions.
“The protest was to improve what we had, not to destroy the little we had,” said Mancho Bibixy, one of the most prominent protest leaders.
The headteacher of one primary school in Kumbo is thinking about reopening in September, but is caught between the demands of the government and separatists’ threats.
“We had meetings [with the government] and we were told that schools must resume this year,” said the headteacher, who asked not to be named. “Parents want their children to stay in school but the [Amba] boys have been threatening. If security is ensured, many parents will send their children.”
Security is by no means ensured, many residents of the anglophone regions say.
“No action is being taken to really prove they want children to go back to school. There’s no preparation,” said one community leader in Kumbo, who requested anonymity so he would not be targeted for speaking out. “If Unicef and other bodies could call for a ceasefire, school could resume, no problem.”
He has been holding a few conflict-specific lessons, training children to drop to the ground when they hear gunshots, and not to see joining the Amba boys as an attractive prospect.
Asheri has tried everything to keep her school open, but parents in Kumbo have been keeping their children home because they are worried that they will get caught in one of the gun battles between the military and rebel fighters.
“We were able to register some 43 pupils last year at the beginning of the school year but some of them stopped coming. So we finally closed the school again,” she said.
Struggling even before the crisis, many teachers now cannot make ends meet. The Kumbo headteacher even offered lessons in the holidays – mainly to try to supplement her teachers’ dwindling incomes – but worried parents forbade their children from attending, and none showed up.
Others sent their children to Douala and Yaoundé, Cameroon’s two major cities.
“Even if we start this year, where would we take children from?” she asked. “They are all gone.”

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has condemned a wave of looting and violence that has mostly targeted foreign nationals.
"There can be no justification for any South African to attack people from other countries," he said on Tuesday.
Dozens of people were arrested in Johannesburg on Monday. At least five people have been killed in the unrest.
Other African governments have issued warnings to their citizens over the violence.
Attacks on businesses run by "foreign nationals is something totally unacceptable, something that we cannot allow to happen in South Africa," Mr Ramaphosa said in a video posted to Twitter.
"I want it to stop immediately," he added.

Separately, the African Union (AU) issued a statement condemning the "despicable acts" of violence "in the strongest terms".
Police fired tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades in an attempt to quell the unrest on Monday. The surge in violence also saw mobs loot shops, torch vehicles, and target lorries that were being driven by foreign nationals.
  • How common are xenophobic attacks in South Africa?
  • Nigerian anger over South African xenophobic
Violence continued on Tuesday in Johannesburg's Alexandra township.
Some angry residents in the city are calling on the government to deport undocumented migrants, the BBC's Nomsa Maseko says.
But one Nigerian businessman, whose shop was targeted by looters, told the BBC that foreign nationals in South Africa were subjected to "a lot of allegations [and] lies".
"This is not a criminal attack. This is a [xenophobic] attack," he said.
A branch of the South African supermarket Shoprite has been vandalised in the Lagos neighbourhood of Lekki, an eyewitness has told the BBC.
One eyewitness reported seeing two bodies lying on the road outside the shopping centre where the supermarket is based.
Cars stuck in nearby traffic were also vandalised as their passengers fled. The authorities have not confirmed the reports of casualties.

What has the reaction been?

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari sent an envoy to South Africa on Tuesday to "express Nigeria's displeasure over the treatment of her citizens".
In a statement, the country's high commission in South Africa described the situation as "anarchy". The government alleges that Nigerian-owned businesses were targeted in Johannesburg and it has called on Nigerians to come forward to report what has happened to them.
Ethiopia's embassy in South Africa has advised its citizens to close their businesses during the ongoing tension, according to Ethiopia's state-linked Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC).
It also says that Ethiopians are advised to "distance themselves from any confrontation and conflict" and not go out wearing expensive jewellery.

Meanwhile, Zambia's transport ministry has said that lorry drivers should "avoid travelling to South Africa until the security situation improves".
The statement refers to reported attacks on foreign lorry drivers. The South African IOL news site says that there have been "numerous incidents" of vehicles being looted.
But South Africa's police minister, Bheki Cele, said on Monday that "criminality rather than xenophobia" was to blame for the "senseless violence".
"[Xenophobia] is used as an excuse," he told reporters after visiting Johannesburg's Central Business District, where much of the unrest has been taking place. "Nothing... has sparked any form of conflict between
