A woman in Maiduguri, Borno State has recounted the story of how soldiers invaded her home, tried to rape her and killed her husband who came to her defence. In an interview with the  BBC , the unnamed woman reported that soldiers of the Nigerian Army had forced their way into her home in the state capital and immediately tried to rape her. When her husband tried to come to her rescue, he was savagely beaten before he was shot. The woman further told the BBC about how she was then dragged to an army checkpoint and dumped in a hole with her injured husband until the next morning when he was too weak to move. She was released the next day without her husband whose corpse was later dumped at their home. She narrated to the BBC,  "It was 11pm, we were all asleep in the house when a soldier broke down the door. He came straight for me and grabbed me. I was shouting 'I have a husband, I am married.' "When my husband came in, the soldiers just knocked him down.

An Abuja-based runs girl who made a nude video of herself while showing off N100,000 she got for her services in one night, has been slammed by many Nigerians who think she has completely lost it. Those who know the lady say her name is Aisha and she is reportedly a high profile prostitute who is very popular amongst politicians and top businessmen in the Federal Capital Territory. In the video, Aisha seems very proud of making that much in just one night, was ecstatic in the video, and is heard saying: "Hundred thousand, last night to this morning. Can I shout?" It seems she was very happy with her job which paid off handsomely but that did not go down well with Nigerians who descended heavily on her, with some calling her derogatory names. Read some of the comments by unhappy Nigerians: Chinyere Ndumadu: "Is this someone's daughter? My sister, you have sold your soul to the devil and he is surely making plans for your visit to hell."

The Taraba Government said on Friday  that it achieved 100 per cent of its target in the 14 rounds of Polio immunisation conducted in the state in the last 18 months. The state Commissioner for Health, Dr Innocent Vakkai, who disclosed this in Jalingo, at the flag-off of the November 2017 Round of Polio Immunisation Campaign, said the targeted population was reached. Vakkai attributed the success to the timely payment of the counterpart funds for the programme by the Gov. Darius Ishaku-led administration. The commissioner however noted that the campaign encountered challenges in October when some people rejected the vaccine, claiming that it contained monkey pox. “We had some difficulty in the field where some people rejected the polio vaccine claiming it had monkey pox virus." “However, it is good to inform you that we developed different counter measures during and after the campaign; God willing, we have dispelled the rumour." “It therefore becomes necessary to fur

The National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has cleared the air on the cause of his son's death. Tinubu's eldest son, Jide, 36, died in London on Wednesday, November 1, 2017, leaving behind a wife and three boys. In a statement issued on his behalf on Thursday, November 2, by Tunde Rahman, his media aide, Tinubu described the deceased as "highly intelligent person with a vibrant personality and a zest for life". Contrary to the speculations that Jide died of alcohol poisoning, the former Governor of Lagos State said his son died of cardiac arrest. Tinubu said, "Those who knew him could not help but like him. Yet, he was taken away by cardiac arrest when it seemed he had so much life to still live. "This is a reminder that we must live each day to its best as none of us knows when our last day shall be. "Mortality comes upon us all. We have no choice in that but we do have a choice whether we shall be good or bad, just

Notorious billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans,  has asked Justice Hakeem Oshodi of the Ikeja Division of the Lagos State High Court to let him go home on bail. During the resumption of his kidnapping trial on Friday, November 3, 2017, Evans filed an application seeking to be released on bail and for his case to be given an accelerated hearing by the court. The lead prosecution counsel, Ms. Titilayo Shitta-Bay, described the bail application, seeking accelerated hearing filed alongside an application seeking to quash the charges as an attempt to frustrate the trial and asked the judge to dismiss it. During the last court hearing on October 19, Evans changed his initial plea of 'guilty' to 'not guilty' to the two-count charges of conspiracy and kidnapping. The suspect had initially entered a 'guilty' plea to the charges after he was arraigned, alongside five other accomplices, before the court on Wednesday, August 30. T

Senator Dino Melaye has raised an alarm on the ‘monumental fraud’ in the ministry of power, works and housing. Babatunde Fashola currently heads the ministry. Speaking on the floor of the Senate on Thursday, November 2, 2017, Senator Melaye accused the ministry of spending monies not appropriated in its budget. Melaye alleged that the execution of the ministry’s Fast Power initiative has been laced with corruption. “In line with anti-corruption posture of this chamber especially now that our cries and observation are yielding dividence as expressly manifested in the case of Babachir Lawal,” Melaye began. “Today I bring to the attention of this senate, a monumental fraud in the power sector. In July 2013, the FG raised N1 billion from a euro bond issue. From the proceed, the sum 350 million dollars was given to IBEX in 2014. This money is installmentally stolen. “As I speak to you, Mr President, sometime last year again, the ministry of power came up with a project they termed

Anthony Joshua maintained his 100 per cent knockout ratio by stopping a bloodied Carlos Takam in the tenth round on Saturday. The English boxer retained his International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association world heavyweight titles with a devastating display of his punching power to finish Cameroon’s France-based challenger at the Principality Stadium. Takam became Joshua’s 20th consecutive knockout victim in a fourth defence of his IBF belt and first of his WBA title, but the challenger stubbornly resisted the champion after being cut by the right eye in the fourth round. "It was a good fight until the ref stopped it. I have the upmost respect for Takam," said Joshua, who injured his nose from a headbutt in the second round. "Imagine if it’s broke and I couldn’t breath and he started catching up in the middle rounds? It would have been a disaster, so I kept my cool. You have to control these situations because, if I showed any signs of weakness, the ref

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has fired back at the Director-General of Customs, Hameed Ali. This is coming after the Customs boss said that Buhari’s government has been hijacked by members of the PDP. According to the spokesman, Dayo Adeyeye, the APC should stop heaping blames on the opposition. Adeyeye, who said that Ali is talking rubbish, said any person that decamps to the All Progressives Congress (APC), is no longer a PDP member. According to Daily Post, he also said “He (Ali ) is talking rubbish. First and foremost, those he is referring to as PDP members are no longer members of our party. The moment you leave the PDP and join the APC, you lose our party membership. “The Buhari government used them to win election, to form government and also form the majority in the National Assembly. Tell me, how are they now PDP members? More than three quarter of their so- called governors were members of the PDP. “Members of the kitchen cabinet were never members of the PDP.

Nigeria News take a look at the allegations and counter allegations between Senator Isah Misau representing Bauchi Central and the Nigeria Police/Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris Senator Isah Misau representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District has been charged to court by the Federal Government for spreading injurious falsehood against Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris. The senator who himself was a former police officer had alleged that the IG received as much as N2.5 million from police officers for promotion and sumptuous posting. He also alleged that Idris impregnated two female police officers, which is against the ethics of the profession. He wanted the Senate to summon the police IG for questioning. Misau’s recent allegation was that the police IG presented two cars to Mrs Aisha Buhari wife of President Muhammadu Buhari as gifts. The first lady in a swift reaction took to her twitter account that she never received any car from the IGP and that M

The Nigerian Railway Corporation has embarked on mass transportation of containers from Apapa Port to ease the problem of vehicular gridlock in the area. The NRC Lagos District Manager, Jerry Oche, said this on Thursday, adding that the operations were initiated to ease congestion of articulated vehicles along Apapa Port. According to him, the containers are being moved to Ebute Metta area of Lagos and Ijoko, an outskirt of Ogun state. He stated that the Nigeria Railway has the plan to extend the shuttle services to Kajola and Abeokuta axis until it is able to reduce traffic congestion to the barest minimum along Apapa axis. The NRC Director of Operation, Mr Adeniyi Alli, further explained that the rail service was available for any organisation or individual, who wants to transport goods from the port to other parts of the country. Due to congestion in Apapa, doing business has been hectic as workers now pick the day to show up in office. The Federal Government had partn

Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, can’t conceal the egg on his face any longer. The spate of kidnapping of police officers has sorely embarrassed Idris; more so because the police should ideally be the one watching over folks and stopping kidnappers from abducting anyone. A Divisional Police Officer (DPO) who was abducted in Niger State earlier in the week, only just secured his release. Aliyu Amos is a Superintendent of Police and DPO of Sarki Pawa Divisional Headquarters in Niger State. The police top brass says Amos was rescued alongside four others, by Special Forces. That means no ransom exchanged hands between the abductors and the police institution, according to police spokesperson Jimoh Moshood. But not everyone is always this fortunate. Amos’ abduction brings to the fore the vulnerability of police officers in Nigeria. Some are attacked and killed in the line of duty when not abducted. A handful never make it out of the kidnappers’ den. "Our officers
