James Ibori Has Not Been Released From UK Prison – Oghara Clan Sec-Gen Says

 The Secretary-General of the Oghara Clan Union in the UK, Charles Abutoh has denied circulating media reports that former Delta State governor, James Ibori who is serving jail term in the UK for money laundering and corruption, was released from prison yesterday February 3rd. Oghara is Ibori's village in Delta state.

Speaking to DailyTrust, Abutoh said that the former governor was still serving his term at the Long Lartin Prison in Worcestershire, England and will only be released after his assets confiscation trial scheduled for June this year has been done

“If you imprison someone for stealing, you can’t let them go without telling you what you say they stole. That is the essence of the confiscation trial. Once the trial is concluded and he is able to settle it, he will be released. They know Ibori sells papers, so some people just sit down and write whatever they like. I visited him in prison about three weeks ago and speak with him every other day. Things are still as they are, and everything is on course”.

Ibori has been in a UK prison since April 2012 for stealing and money laundering, among other offences.

APC Will Soon Collapse - Olu Falae Says

 Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Olu Falae, has said things would soon fall apart for the members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Mr. Falae, who is the national chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), mocked the APC for branding itself a “mega party,” but said the party was likely to totally collapse soon.

Mr. Falae spoke at the SDP’s secretariat in Akure, capital of Ondo State, while welcoming Olu Agunloye, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party and close ally of Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State, who defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Mr. Agunloye, a former Minister of Power and Steel as well as erstwhile Minister for Defense, had quietly defected from the PDP to the SDP last weekend in Akure.

Below is what Falae who was recently linked to the on-going probe on arms deal said;

“They have no plan for this country and they are not progressive-minded people. And that's why they have nothing to show in the last seven months that they have assumed power and leadership control of the country.”

“All Progressives Party (APC) will soon collapse because they are madeup of uncommitted party members who only believe in sharing the money,” he said.

African Student Stripped And Beaten By Indian Mob After They Mistake Her For Hit-And-Run Driver(Photos)

 A 21-year-old female student was beaten and stripped by an angry mob in the southern Indian city of Bangalore after they mistook her car for one that ran over and killed a villager.

Police stood by and watched as the mob paraded the Tanzanian woman naked around the streets and set the car she was in on fire, local reports claim.

A bystander who tried to help her was also reported to have been beaten and when she tried to escape on a bus, the passengers are said to have thrown her back to the mob.

The Tanzanian girl is reported to have gone to the police to report the attack but they said they would only take the complaint if she could bring in the driver who hit the villager.

The Tanzanian Embassy demanded a detailed report on the incident from student leaders so they can pursue the issue diplomatically.

Man Surrenders To Police, Confesses To Murdering Cousin Who Rap*d His Girlfriend(Photo)

 Yesterday, Ndifreke Joseph Clement, 22, handed himself over to the police in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, and confessed to killing his cousin, Ubong Edet who allegedly raped his girlfriend.

 In his statement, Clement recounted how he had returned home one evening, knocked on the door of his one-room apartment, only for his girlfriend to step out with bruises and a bleeding nose and say that Edet, who lived with him, forcefully had sex with her. When Edet returned very late that night, a fight ensued between the two men.

“When I asked him why he did what he did to my girlfriend, he started punching me and I retaliated,” Clement said, “We fought for a very long time before I could subdue him. I then picked my cow-butchering knife and cut his throat, carried his dead body and dumped it in the bush very close to the house and threw the knife into the pit toilet.”

“I have brought myself to the police even when nobody knew that I killed him. I have come to plead for forgiveness because since I killed my cousin, I no longer have peace of mind. I am always disturbed in my mind and dream.”

Cordelia Nwawe, the Akwa Ibom State Police Public Relations Officer, said the Clement will be charged to court.
