The vagueness of mankind is obvious even the hidden ones have been permitted to come out of darkness. Canopies are not canopied yet the raining season is fast approaching. Lamentations upon lamentations yet those scenarios instilled a phobic atmosphere in which mankind cannot adapt to. The future is bright and man always sings a joyful song like the country's anthem but the situations remains at the pinnacle of intractable circumstances.Cases with veracity are scarce but the opinions of mankind won't count because his decisions are under predestination. The routines of mankind looks vague but not vague it is just a distraction to take him away from realities which have been awarded to him,some criminals were not meant to see the court but determinism came to preach repentance to those crimimals fortunately they were forgiven. How about that scenario?How the concepts man proposed? All came under a gigantic question mark; who is man to decide? Have they forgotten their maker's dominance in all ramifications? Let's have a look about the establishment of this crucial world,the grievances attached to man 's life is so much which can never be explained. How apt is the view that man caused them? Did he choose to embrace calamities? Forcibly or intentional? The feelings are there and thoughts with pertinent questions but phobia still laughs always in man's society.

Governor Fayose declares dusk-to-dawn curfew in Ekiti

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has declared a dusk-to-dawn curfew in Ado Ekiti to prevent the raging fight between transport workers and Hausa traders from spreading to other parts of the state.
The governor, while addressing the Hausa Community in the Atikankan area of Ado Ekiti, said the curfew, starting from 6pm and ending at 6am, would begin on Thursday, directing security agencies to arrest whoever failed to comply with the order.
The governor, who appealed to the Hausa community to be patient, promised that they would get justice.
He said, "You said you love me, this is the time you have to show this love. I want to plead with you to submit whatever lethal weapon you have in your possession to the police. And if you refuse to do this, whether you are Yoruba or Hausa, the police will arrest you.
"Nigeria belongs to all of us and for the sake of our country, I plead with you to allow peace to reign."
The state Secretary of National Union of Road Transport Workers, Mr. Akinsola Osundiya, at a briefing with journalists in Ado Ekiti, distanced members of the union from the crisis.
"Our members do not load vehicles in that area, so we were not in anyway involved in the clash with the Hausa traders," he said.
The Chairman of Hausa Community in Ekiti State, Alhaji Adamu Imam, appealed to the state government for monetary assistance for those whose property were damaged by hoodlums during the crisis.
Imam said the names of the perpetrators of the violent attack had been compiled and would be made available to the governor and security agencies for necessary actions.
However, the Ekiti State Police Command said the number of injured had risen to 24 in the violent clash between Hausa traders and some drivers in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.
A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Alberto Adeyemi, on behalf of the Police Commissioner, Mr Etop James, said two of those injured sustained gunshot wounds and were receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
"Nobody died in the incident contrary to reports. Only two persons sustained pellet wounds while 22 others sustained varying degrees of injuries," he added.

Crisis in ado ekiti as drivers and traders clash. (click to view full details)

The crisis took place a day after the resumption of a new Commissioner of Police, Etop John James, in the state.

The violence later spread from Erekesan Market –Old Garage –Mugbagba axis to Atikankan area, a converging point for many Hausa traders in the state.

According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Alberto Adeyemi, four persons were wounded in the crisis and are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.

As of the time of filling this report, the popular business areas of Ado Ekiti such as Ajilosun, Okeyinmi, Okesha and Irona among others have become a no-go area to both vehicles and pedestrians, while banks operating in the city hurriedly shut down.

An eyewitness account, however, said three persons were feared dead as the fracas snowballed into a full scale war and almost turned into ethnic war.

But the butchers, mainly Yorubas fought on the side of the Hausas against the transport workers whom they accused of undue harassment and unprovoked attacks.

Mr. Sunday Adigun, a cameraman with the Core TV, narrowly escaped being  killed as he received beating while his camera was smashed for trying to cover the fight by the hoodlums.

The hoodlums suspected to be fighting for the transport workers brandished dangerous weapons including guns, bottles, charms, clubs, cutlasses and knives.

A freelance journalist, Sunkanmi Oso, was quizzed at gun point by one of the hoodlums to explain his mission in the crisis zone.

Goods and properties worth several millions of Naira were lost as hoodlums took over the market and set many shops ablaze after looting them while no fewer than five vehicles belonging to the drivers were vandalised.

Mostly affected were Bureau de change operators, butchers and traders.

Another eyewitness account said trouble started on Tuesday night when a bag belonging to wife of a Chieftain of road transport workers was snatched by unknown persons along the ever busy Ijigbo-old garage area of the city.

It was learnt that the victim was raped by the assailants after dispossessing her of her belongings, a development that irked the drivers.

An eyewitness said the victim's husband reported the matter to his members after efforts to know the identities of the perpetrators proved futile.

While addressing both sides of the residents at old garage and Atikankan, the new CP expressed regrets over the incidence and vowed to restore normalcy in no time.

He said he expected people of the state to give him the honour of information before going to the streets, knowing fully well that he just resumed on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti on the orders of the IGP, Mr. Solomon Arase, over the spate of kidnapping and other heinous crimes in the state

Two Nigerian Men Arraigned In Vietnam For N30m Fraud

Two Nigerian men;  Christian Nnadikwe, 34, and Collins Deke, 37 and a Vietnamese woman, Le Thi Kim Quyen, 35, have been arraigned for fraud in the central province of Khanh Hoa.

A court in the central province of Khanh Hoa has sentenced a Vietnamese
woman and two Nigerian men to between 12 and 15 years in prison for hacking into emails of local companies to swindle money from their foreign partners.

Le Thi Kim Quyen, 35, and her accomplices – Christian Nnadikwe, 34, and Collins Deke, 37 – were also found guilty of another fraud scheme, in which they pretended to be a British friend of two Vietnamese women on Facebook and asked them to send money as shipping fees to receive gifts.

Quyen got 15 years while Nnadikwe and Deke each received 12 years.

Another Nigerian suspect and Quyen's de facto husband, Mark Mamado Abdallah, 39, is still at large.

The group pocketed over VND3.3 billion (US$150,000 or N30m) between April and August 2013, according to the indictment. Most of this came from the email hacking scheme.

Prosecutors said over the four months, Quyen and Abdallah hacked into the emails of several Vietnamese companies doing business with foreign companies.

They gave the information to Nnadikwe and then Deke, who would later transfer it to another Nigerian man living in Malaysia.

This man, referred to as Chief Brother, then used the compromised email accounts to contact the victims' foreign partners, asking them to send payments to a bank account opened by Quyen and Abdallah.

Four bag 24 yrs imprisonment for stealing petrol

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday convicted and sentenced four men to a prison term of 24 years for stealing petroleum products belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

The four convicts, who are to share the jail term equally, are Yama Abass, Adeleke Adetoro, Olaniyi Tope and Beliya Abegunde.

The men, who stole 33,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit valued at approximately N3.2m, had been arraigned before Justice Okon Abang last year August along with one Alabi Olayinka, an accountant in a petrol station in Lagos.

But Abang, who convicted Abass, Adetoro, Tope and Abegunde on counts three and four of the charge, discharged and acquitted Olayinka.

The judge, who said the evidence before the court did not link Olayinka to the crime, said Olayinka would have a good case against the police if he sued for “unlawful arrest, detention and malicious prosecution.”

Pronouncing the sentence, Abang refused the plea by the defence counsel to temper justice with mercy, saying “nobody should commit an offence and expect the court to show mercy.”

“They have no sympathy for this country and the citizens. In spite of all the efforts made by the Federal Government to protect the petroleum pipelines and make petrol to get to everybody with ease, the convicts and their cohorts have made consistent efforts to sabotage and frustrate the effort of the Federal Government,” the judge said.

Describing them as harbingers of evil, the judge said the convicts cannot not plant thorns and expect to harvest flowers, adding that it was shameful that in spite being blessed with petrol, Nigerian citizens were still suffering from scarcity on account of the activities of vandals.

According to the charge marked FHC/L/220c/2014, the four convicts with some suspects still at large conspired and damaged oil pipelines and stole 33,000 litres of PMS belonging to the NNPC on July 13 along Epe/Ikorodu road in Lagos.

They were said to have been apprehended while selling the stolen products to filling stations in the city.

The offence, according to the prosecution contravened sections 390 and 516 of the Criminal Code, Cap C38, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and Section 7 (a) and (b) of the Miscellaneous Offence Act, Cap M 17, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

Abang, in his judgment, ordered the petrol stations that bought the stolen products to make restitution in the sum of N3.2m to the Federal Government within seven days of the judgment.

The court also ordered the sale of the tanker used in conveying the stolen product by auction within 14 days of the judgment.

The prosecution was ordered to pay the proceeds into the coffers of the Federal Government

Nigerian Tribune gathered that the deceased, simply identified as Nafisat, was last Wednesday, raped and strangled to death at her residence in Ogijo, in Ikorodu area of Ogun State.

There are also strong indications that the trauma of death of the fresh graduate might have resulted in mental torture for her mother, who is said to be receiving treatment at an unnamed hospital

Nafisat was said to have been alone in the family apartment and still basking in the euphoria of her academic success, on the April 27, when the rapists reportedly pounced on her.

A resident of the area, who pleaded anonymity, while speaking with the Nigerian Tribune, stated that the late Nafisat's mother, a teacher, had reportedly gone to school when the incident occured.

It was also gathered that it was the mother of the deceased, who returned from the school to find her daughter Unclad and in a pool of blood, before she alerted her neighbours.

There was, however, no trace of the perpetrators of the dastardly act as at Sunday afternoon, as residents of the area were still baffled by the circumstances surrounding the death.

Nigerian Tribune also learnt that the police could not perform a postmortem on the remains of the deceased as her body had been buried according to islamic rites.
