The Nigerian Army has confirmed the arrest of Alhaji Shettima Lawan, Chairman of Mafa Local Government Area and the Vice Chairman of Kaga Local Government Area of Borno State. Shettima Lawan, was arrested last Friday by the military for harbouring a fleeing Boko Haram commander in his private residence in Maiduguri. Maj.- Gen. Lucky Irabor, The Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, made the confirmation during a news conference at the headquarters of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army, Maiduguri. "All I can say is that the Chairman is a big supporter of Boko Haram. We heard that he haroboured Boko Haram members along with his father. That he kept the Boko Haram members because the father begged him to do so." Irabor said. "The Chairman was in the habit of accommodating people that had fled from the bush. At some point he was valuable to us being with the Civilian JTF to fight Boko Haram. But that does not mean we cannot investigate him for a crime especially one li

For many of us the end of the year 2016 could not have come soon enough especially in view of the very harsh clime in which the majority of us have found ourselves in. However, I’m also quite sure that we are in 2017 with some trepidation wondering what highs and lows the New Year holds for us. Unknown too many of us, perhaps an indication of how things would turn out in 2016 was there for all to see, when at this time last year rather than relaxing to enjoy the festive period we were busy waking up at ungodly hours to get petrol, an essential commodity. The fuel scarcity issue had actually begun before the Christmas and New Year festivities and despite various claims by top government officials that it would have abated before the holiday period; it actually did drag for a few weeks into 2016. The scarcity meant that people travelling during the period of the festivities had to pay through their noses to get to their destinations, while a sizeable number also used the scarci

Fayose accused the presidency, Fayemi and Oni of being behind the plot “The essence of all of these is to silence him as the voice of opposition in the country because he has bluntly rejected all overtures to him to defect into the ruling APC or stop talking,” he said accusing the minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi, and former governor of the state, Segun Oni as those behind the plot. Fayose, who warned against any plot to destabilise Ekiti state, wondered how long it would take the APC and its collaborators to pursue their "clandestine agenda" of reversing an election they lost over 30 months ago and validated by the tribunal, appeal and the Supreme courts. In the letter Justice Onnoghen, Fayose alleged that “certain APC chieftains were again making subterranean moves to manipulate and compromise a section of the judiciary, particularly some judges, to get through the back door what they failed severally to achieve through the ballot box as well

According to research from the University of Scranton, 45% of Americans make New Year's resolutions, but just 8% of resolutions turn out to be successful. Here are three smart money moves you can make in 2017, along with some tips to help you succeed. 1. Get rid of credit card debt High-interest-rate credit card debt can seriously hold you back financially. If you have high balances on your credit cards, then it doesn't make sense to save and invest for your future, so it costs both your present and future self big time. Think of it this way. Let's say you have $5,000 in credit card debt at 16% interest. At this rate, the interest alone is costing you $800 per year just to maintain the debt. Even the best investors in the world can only hope to achieve average annual returns of 12% or so, which would translate to a $600 expected gain in one year on a $5,000 investment. In other words, if you invest $5,000 instead of using it to pay off your high-interest debt, you'

No fewer than 28 people were killed today in a busy market area of Baghdad by two suicide bombers. The bombers attacked the Al-Sinek area, a police colonel said. An officer in the interior ministry and a hospital official confirmed the toll, reported Xinhua and AFP. “Many of the victims were people from the spare parts shops in the area, they were gathered near a cart selling breakfast when the explosions went off,” said Ibrahim Mohammed Ali, who owns a nearby shop. Torn clothes and mangled iron were strewn across the ground in pools of blood at the site of the wreckage near Rasheed street, one of the main thoroughfares in Baghdad, an AFP photographer reported. “Twin terrorist attacks were carried out by suicide bombers in Al-Sinek neighbourhood,” an official from Baghdad operations command told AFP. The targeted area is packed with shops, workshops and wholesale markets and usually teeming with delivery trucks and daily labourers unloading vans or wheeling carts around.

President Muhammadu Buhari pledged yesterday that the change sought by the majority of Nigerian voters, who backed him in the 2015 election, will manifest more and be sustained in different sectors in the new year. He declared in his new year message that the current pains Nigerians are going through are temporary. His words: “On our part, in the past 20 months since our inauguration on May 29, 2015, we have focused our energies to turn around the economy, create jobs, fight corruption, and transform agriculture to replace oil and gas as a major revenue earner for the nation. I am encouraged that we are getting things right. “The agricultural revolution has begun. Farmers in different parts of the country are experiencing bumper harvests; states are getting into strategic partnership towards attaining self-sufficiency in rice, and the era of over-dependence on oil for foreign exchange revenues is gradually waning. “I am optimistic that the CHANGE we all yearned for in voting thi

Punch Editorial Board As a New Year begins, gloom pervades the Nigerian space. The populace is reeling from economic adversity, the greed of the thoroughly corrupt political class, prevalent insecurity and dismay over hiccups in the assault on corruption. Hopes of a better experience kindled by the offer of electoral change to the irredeemable past administration have, for many, crashed on the rocks of economic anguish, sectionalism and negative continuity. On President Muhammadu Buhari’s shoulders lies the blame as well as the responsibility for a positive reboot. This year presents him with a last chance to save his legacy and rebalance the country. To be fair, not all the criticisms directed at Buhari for today’s parlous state of affairs are on target. Recession, low reserves and fiscal buffers, broken infrastructure and insecurity are the inevitable results of the incompetence, corruption and lack of vision of past governments. The immediate past administration, especially,
