The directive was given in line with the operations of the Rapid Response Initiative (RRI) which was inaugurated earlier this year to perform not less than10,000 free surgeries on poor Nigerians.

He said:“The only qualification you have is that you must be poor and we’ll do those surgeries that really put people in discomfort, myomectomy cleft lips, even VVF, many of these are being handled across the country in about 46 specialist centres.”

Conducting a tour round the Kuchigoro health facility, Adewole disclosed that about N550 million had been earmarkedfor the revitalization of the first phase ofprimary health care centres.

A top intelligence officer at the presidency has told Thisday that the Department of State Services (DSS) some weeks ago busted a terrorist planned attack to be carried out in the United States.

The officer was quoted as saying:“When it comes to intelligence gathering, the DSS is well-respected in the international community.“Hardly a day passes by without at leastseven countries asking from us one favour or the other. When it comes to intelligence gathering, the agency is well-respected.’’

The officer continued:“A few weeks ago, the agency busted a terrorist planned attack that was to be executed in the US, and the security agency received huge commendation from the US authority.“It also arrested one of the most wantedterrorists in the world, and he is currently in Nigeria’s custody; he was responsible for many killings and bombings in 2012 and 2013 in Nigeria.’’

The security officer went on to say in the last few years, there is no security operations that takes place in the country without intelligence report from the DSS.Defending some of the actions of the DSS especially as it concerns arrest anddetention of suspected terrorists which had received hard criticisms from the media and the civil society groups, the officer said the act of terrorism has global standards.His words:“Look at the incident that recently happened in Berlin, Germany, where a suspected terrorist rammed a truck into Christmas market; all those linked with the incident were arrested, while one or two of them were killed in different countries.

“But if the incident had happened in Nigeria, some human rights lawyers would have filed different suits in court, challenging the fundamental human rights of the suspects.“Nigerian security agencies can afford to do the same thing in Nigeria becausethey have the same training with their colleagues in other countries. But by virtual of their religious belief, they are not in a hurry to take life. 

The patriotismthey have always displayed is uncommon.”He said after the 911 terrorist attack in the US, there was an agreement in the global community that terrorists should be killed notwithstanding the kind of weapons they are carrying.

Meanwhile, a recent media report has revealed that theDSS is already monitoring politicians and their utterances ahead of the 2019 general elections.

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) worldwide has asked the world to hold Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state responsible for any attack on indigenes of Niger Delta.The IYC made this in a statement to react to the governor’s allegation that some Niger Delta militants were hired tocause mayhem in Southern Kaduna which has been in turmoil for many months.

The IYC condemned the statement credited to El-Rufai that Niger Delta militants were hired to cause mayhem in Southern Kaduna

A resurgence of the conflict during the yuletideresulted in the death of some residents and destruction of properties. Security agencies have since been drafted to the affected areas of the state.The IYC, through its spokesperson, Eric Omare, said El-Rufai’s alleged statement is capable of turning the north against Niger Deltans.

The Ijaw group said:

“This statement is reckless and highly condemnable. Mallam El-Rufai having failed in his dutyto protect the lives and properties of thepeople of southern Kaduna should not use innocent Niger Deltans as scapegoats.

“Niger Deltans have no business going all the way to Kaduna or any part of Nigeria to attack Nigerians.“We call on Nigerians and the security agencies to hold Governor El-Rufai responsible for any attack on Niger Deltans in the north as a result of his irresponsible statement.

“The Fulani herdsmen who El-Rufai paidfor killing people are well known to the world, hence Niger Deltans should not be linked under any circumstances to the unwarranted killings going on in southern Kaduna.

“We also call the federal government to as a matter of urgency bring the killings in southern Kaduna to a stop and bring the perpetrators to justice including Governor El-Rufai.”

The Islamic State formerly known as Boko Haram terrorists have pictures showing its Sharia police in Lake Chad area.

The pictures shows terrorists meting out Sharia punishment to defaulters. The terrorists also claim killing 8 AfricanCoalition Forces in the area.

See the photos below:

Years of violence by Boko Haram in Africa’s Lake Chad basin which includesNigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, has led to a worsening humanitarian crisis that has displaced 1.4 million children and left at least one million still trapped in hard-to-reach areas.

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in a report released in August 2016 said, an estimated 38 children have been used to carry out suicide attacks in the Lake Chad basin region so far this year, bringing to 86 the total number of children used as suicide bombers since 2014.

Manchester United forward, Anthony Martial, has admitted he is ‘annoyed’ to beleft on the bench this season, but has vowed to fight for his place.

The France international was an instant hit at Old Trafford, after joining from Monaco for big money, but has failed to hit it off this season.Martial has only started seven Premier League games under Jose Mourinho.

“It is annoying to be on the bench, it is really annoying,” he told SFR Sport .“But this is a test I have to get through. That’s the way things go when you are still developing as a player and it forms your mentality.

“It is difficult because the only thing you want is to get out there and help the teamand you cannot do that when you are on the bench. But that is a choice I have to accept.“I know that the people expect a lot from me, but perhaps they forget that I am still young.“Everybody can think whatever they want and they can say what they want, that does not change anything for me.”

As the dust raised by Toyin Aimakhu’s ex-boyfriend, Seun Egbegbe’s iPhone theftsaga is yet to settle, fresh reports have emerged that the filmmaker also committed another $3,000 fraud at a MultiChoice outlet in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

A dealer, Semiu, explained how he met Egbegbe briefly on December 9 at a MultiChoice outlet opened by the latter two days earlier at Uncle Joe Bus Stop, Mokola area of the state capital.Speaking with Sahara Reporters, Semiu said Egbegbe walked into his outlet requesting to buy two GOtv decoders, noting that he was expecting a friend of his to bring money with which he would pay for the decoders.“Another man arrived wearing jellabiya, (the long robe favored by Muslim men) and gave Egbegbe some money. After handing over the cash, the man in jellabiya left.“Egbegbe stepped out of the shop and waited outside, where I was shielded fromview by a glass door.”Semiu said he found Egbegbe standing outside and sought to know what was going on.“Egbegbe, who kept impersonating a prospective customer then pointed to a man waiting downstairs, signaling that he was the one that would provide information required for the activation of the decoders. Though he was speaking, his voice was drowned out by music from the loud speakers hired to create awareness for the outlet.“That was the beginning of trouble. When the Hausa man got upstairs, he told me that Egbegbe had taken $3,000 from him and I could not make any connection. I considered it a joke initially, but later realized that the second guy was a Hausa man, who had innocently transacted business with the pretended customer on the assumption that he owned the MultiChoice outlet.”The Hausa man told me that Egbegbe had phoned him from a Fidelity Bank branch opposite the MultiChoice outlet, claiming to own that place and requestingto change naira to dollars. Apparently, Egbegbe had failed to give the forex traderthe naira equivalent of the money he took from him, with currency trader lured into a false sense of security that Egbegbe owned the dealership and could always find him there.“When the currency trader realized that the man he transacted business with was not the owner, he raised the alarm. Before I knew what was happening, I was surrounded by over 20 Hausa men and dragged to Sabo, the hub of forex trading in Ibadan.“I was beaten for about 45 minutes and was about to be killed before a policeman from State Investigation Bureau, SIB, named Samson, intervened and ordered us to move to Oyo State Police Command Headquarters at Eleyele.“I kept telling them that I knew nothing about the money and that they should notkill me because of $3,000 (N750,000). Afterabout 30 minutes of beating, I was handcuffed and taken to my office and to my house. My wife and four-year-old daughter saw me in handcuffs. They searched my house and found nothing.“I was detained and I kept requesting that I be charged to court because I suspectedthat there was a plot to make me face criminal charges and have me remanded in prison.“Shortly after, I saw actress Toyin Aimakhu with a man that was being wildly cheered by policemen. I took a closer lookand discovered that the man being cheered by the policemen was the person that came to my office requesting to buy GOtv decoders and eventually took $3,000 from the currency trader.“On the said day, Seun Egbegbe and ToyinAimaku came to release Aimakhu’s RangeRover that he (Seun) gave her which the police impounded from her driver earlier that day and fortunately I saw and recognized Seun Egbegbe as someone who collected $3000 from the BDC vendor.“I was confused. I then told one of the officers that the man in front of them was the one who collected the $3,000. The officer asked if I knew the person I was pointing at. I said I was sure he was the one. The officer said he is Seun Egbegbe, a socialite.“I kept insisting he was the one who cameto my shop. Egbegbe was then arrested by an IPO after initial hesitation by police and confessed that he was the one that did it.“But his actress girlfriend, Toyin Aimakhu, told the police that she was ready to offer them (the police) any amount to bury the case because she doesn’t want a scandal.“I wanted to press charges against Seun Egbegbe but the police colluded with Aimakhu and threatened I and my co-victim with harm. Some officers were opposed to my arrest, but the IPO insistedon arresting him, and he was arrested.“He confessed to the crime and promised to refund the Hausa currency trader. The actress slumped in shock. I was invited back to AKS on January 18, 2016, for apology and compensation, but nothing was done,” Semiu stated.Meanwhile, the filmmaker is yet to respond to the allegation. All efforts by DAILY POST to reach him were abortive, apparently because he has left Nigeria for Malaysia.

The Joint Admissions and MatriculationBoard (JAMB) has disclosed plans to install Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in all computer-based centres to be accredited for the registration of 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)
JAMB registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, revealed this during an interactive meeting with operators of CBT centres from across the country, at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Daily Independent reports.Oloyede said the introduction of the CCTV’s will help to monitor whatever is going on at the centres.He also stated that the new process willexclude many cybercafe operators as the computer-based centres to be accredited must have 250 desktop or laptop systems in a single room, with provision for additional 25 systems as back-ups.

Oloyede said:“What we have said is thatwe are in a period of change, and what that means is that everything we have been doing must be reviewed. Whateverwe have been doing rights will have to be reinforced while what were doing wrongly will be changed.
“For the purpose of the CBT centres, we have to introduce the CCTV so that whatever that is going on at our centrescan be monitored anywhere in the world.“We are also standardizing the CBT centres so that all CBT centres will have250 computers with 10 per cent of the figure as backups.”In a related development, JAMB has urged the general public to disregard the speculations that it hadstarted the sales of its application forms for 2017 UTME.
