Abia indigenes stage peaceful protest lagos...
By Bose Adelaja
Hundreds of Abia State indigenes residing in Lagos weekend embarked on a peaceful protest on what they described as a deliberate attempt by their leaders to impoverish their masses.
PROTEST:
Abia indigenes in Lagos, under the aegis of Abia Youths Good Governance Advocacy Project (AYGGAP), protesting over the failure to uphold the court ruling of an Abia High Court that pronounced Dr. Samson Uchechukwu Ogah as the new governor of the state.
The protesters under the aegis of Abia Youths Good Governance Advocacy Project, AYGGAP, who staged the protest in Okota area of Lagos said it’s high time the masses began to reap the dividends of democracy rather than being impoverished and relegated to nothing despite their natural endowment.
Their placards gave them out as supporters of Samson Ogah who is in court for the state governorship seat.
The youths who were with various placards were led by Dr. Nwabuchi Chukwuemeka, Great Imo Jonathan and Honourable Henry Ogbulogo among others.
They called for peace, progress for the entire Abia citizens saying they were denied of jobs, health facilities, equity and justice.
The youths who converged at Nwachukwu street before the protest march frowned at the impuniry abuse of power and total disregard to court rulings, saying that its high time the state upheld the court ruling of Abia High Court which pronounced judgement that Dr. Samson Uchechukwu Ogah be sworn as the new governor of the state.

THE TRAIL OF 8 NIGERIANS ACCUSED OF DRUG DEALINGS FROM MOUNTAIN OF FIRE CHURCH IN CAMBODIA ENDS IN DENIAL
The trial of eight Nigerian men and a Cambodian woman accused of dealing drugs crystal methamphetamine from a Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Church in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, ended on Tuesday, August 9, with the woman claiming she had no idea that the smartphone boxes she delivered in 2014 were filled with drugs.
During the third and final day of questioning at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, Nigerian national Favour Nnabuife Okorom, 36, and the Cambodian defendant, Mam Vinyong, 25, were questioned over their involvement in a crystal methamphetamine ring that police say operated out of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Church in Meanchey district in 2014 and early 2015.
Ms. Vinyong admitted to delivering smartphone boxes for defendant Tony Mmaduka Chukwuonye, but claimed she was unaware that there were drugs inside. The pair became close after meeting at the church following the end of her previous relationship, she said, adding that he had paid for powdered milk for her baby.
"At the end of October and early November, I delivered the goods two or three times, and in December I delivered them one more time," she said, adding that she was paid $100 per day for acting as a courier.
"Mr. Tony just told me they contained valuable objects and I thought they might be brand-new smartphones," she said.
However, Roeung Pheap, a bureau chief at the Interior Ministry’s anti-drug department, refuted Ms. Vinyong’s claim of innocence.
"Before we went to arrest her, our undercover officers reported that she was delivering the drugs to other dealers, and we know Mr. Tony was the one who often ordered her to do it," he said.
Like the seven other Nigerian defendants who testified during two previous days of hearings, Mr. Okorom denied everything. Asked about receiving drugs from Ms. Vinyong at a KFC restaurant at Phnom Penh’s Sovanna Shopping Center, he said,
"I had only lived in Cambodia for two months and had never been to KFC.”
A verdict is due on September 12.

21-year-old man arrested for attempting to behead his friend for rituals
A 21-year-old man is currently in Police custody in Tema, Ghana for attempting to behead his friend for rituals. Charles Ashitey, also known as Zaga was arrested by some residents of Tema Newtown after his attempt to behead his 19-year-old friend, Daniel Norteye, failed.
According to the Police, on 31st July, 2016, Norteye was tired after a dance rehearsal and decided to spend the night in the room of the suspect...
However, at about 4:00am, Norteye felt a sharp pain on his neck. He woke only to see the suspect, Ayitey holding a knife and cutting his throat. He then struggled with suspect, which resulted in multiple cuts in the victim’s palm and abdomen but he was eventually able to escape with the knife and was rushed to his aunt’s house where he was taken to the Tema Newtown Police Station to lodge an official complaint. He was then taken to the Tema General Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
Further investigations in the room of the suspect revealed a stinking beheaded snake, egg shells, and powder, which were sprinkled around the room. A wooden doll was also found in the room as well. When suspect was asked on how he came by those items and why he had sprinkled powder in his room, he said the snake was for a friend who was going to eat it but suspect pleaded with his friend to give it to him.
He was however unable to tell the police what he was going to use the snake and other materials for. Zaga however claimed ownership of the knife, which was retrieved and stated that he did not know what took over him to try to kill his friend. He is currently assisting the police with investigations and will be arraigned before court soon.

indonesian cremates executed nigerian drug convicts.
The executions on a remote prison island went ahead despite strong protests from international rights groups, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the European Union who had urged Indonesia not to proceed.
Michael Titus Igweh Four inmates — three Nigerians and one Indonesian — were put to death just after midnight. One of the Nigerian prisoners was cremated hours later, while the bodies of the three others were being prepared for burial.
Questions swirled about the handling of the process, which saw the other 10 prisoners slated for death — including from India, Pakistan and Zimbabwe — spared at the last minute.
Authorities did not give a reason for the reprieve, but the prison island where they were expected to be executed in outdoor clearings was hit by a major storm as the other sentences were carried out.
Attorney General Muhammad Prasetyo said Friday the 10 inmates had been returned to their cells, suggesting their executions were not imminent.
“The fate of the other 10 we will determine later.
We will see when the right time will be,” Prasetyo told reporters.
“But one thing is for sure — we will never stop executing people on death row.
” Local prisons chief Molyanto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, said the major security seen in recent days around the island had been reduced and he thought more executions were unlikely in the near future.
Ricky Gunawan — whose client Humphrey Jefferson Ejike Eleweke was among those tied to a post and shot in the jungle clearing — said lawyers awaiting the grim news were kept in the dark as to why the executions didn’t proceed as planned.
“I would say the execution this morning was a complete mess,” Gunawan told AFP from Cilacap, near Nusakambangan, a remote island housing several high-security jails.
“No clear information was provided to us about the time of execution, why only four (were executed) and what happens to the 10 others.
” Family members had already been shocked to learn on Thursday morning that their relatives would be put to death a day ahead of schedule. Distraught relatives rushed to Nusakambangan to say farewell to their loved ones.
– Process ‘not respected’ – President Joko Widodo has defended dramatically ramping up the use of capital punishment, saying that Indonesia is fighting a war on drugs and that traffickers must be heavily punished. Friday’s executions were the third under Widodo since he took office in 2014.
The last round was in April 2015, when authorities put to death eight drug convicts, including two Australians.
The executed Indonesian was named as Freddy Budiman, while the three Nigerians were Seck Osmane, Humphrey Jefferson Ejike Eleweke and Michael Titus Igweh.
Another of Eleweke’s lawyers, Afif Abdul Qoyim, told AFP the execution should not have gone ahead as his client this week filed a legal appeal.
“When this process in not respected, that means that this is no longer a country that upholds the law, nor human rights,” he said.
Amnesty International has identified what it calls “systematic flaws” in the trials of several of the death row inmates, and urged Indonesia not to proceed while appeals for clemency were pending.
Two people whose cases had raised high-profile international concern among rights groups were not executed.
The first was Pakistani Zulfiqar Ali, whom rights groups say was beaten into confessing to heroin possession, leading to his 2005 death sentence.
The other was Indonesian woman Merri Utami, who was caught with heroin in her bag as she came through Jakarta airport and claims she was duped into becoming a drug mule.
The National Commission on Violence Against Women, which has been lobbying for Utami to receive clemency, called for answers over the fate of the 10 remaining prisoners.
“We hope the attorney general’s office will provide a clear and transparent explanation,” the commission’s Sri Nurherwati told AFP.

He says the report of the panel will be submitted to him in the coming weeks.
"In one day, the sum of N1bn was taken out of one account of the government with N10m cheques. Several N10m cheques but I would not be able to put a figure on the total recovery because like I said, the work of the committee is ongoing. When I took over on May 29th 2015, the state was owing civil servants four months salaries, a state where civil servants and pensioners were owed N14.5 billion gratuity, a state where other loans comprising commercial and contractual liabilities amounted to over N100 billion"he saidHe also accused Yuguda of squandering N2 billion ecological fund he received from the last administration.
