TROUBLE IN THE MILITARY AS SOLDIERS IN BORNO OPENED FIRE ON GOC'S VEHICLE TO PROTEST DEATH OF THEIR COLLEAGUES.

The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Ahmadu Mohammed, yesterday, escaped death as angry soldiers opened fire on his official vehicle when he came to address them at the Maimalari Barracks in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
This came as local villagers succeeded in repelling a Boko Haram attack, killing about 200 of the sect members in the process.
Conflicting reports said the soldiers rebelled when they were forced to return to Maiduguri from Chibok as they considered it unsafe. The soldiers argued that it was dark and dangerous to return to Maiduguri that night.
BORNO STATE GOVERNOR DENIES ALLEGATION OF MISLEADING THE MILITARY ABOUT BOKO HARAM'S ACTIVITIES.

“First of all, Governor Shettima will not join issues with the Defence Headquarters because he has so much respect for the military as he has proved over the years in his exact words and actions,” he noted via an email.

JUDGE ORDERS PISTORIUS TO UNDERGO MENTAL EVALUATION.............
A South African prosecutor asked for Oscar Pistorius to be sent for a mental evaluation after a psychiatrist told the Olympic and Paralympic track star’s murder trial he had an anxiety disorder.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel argued he wanted to prevent the 27-year-old sprinter, who faces life in prison if convicted of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, from later appealing on the basis of a disturbed mental condition.
Nel told the court there was a “reasonable possibility” that Pistorius suffers from a mental illness, adding that without a proper evaluation the case could later be appealed over Pistorius’ mental health.
CHECKING FURTHER SPREAD OF TERROR IN NIGERIA.
On the front burner of national discourse today are the incendiary activities of Boko Haram, the Islamist terror group that was initiated in 2002 in Bauchi and Borno states. But the disclosure of the identities of five persons arrested in connection with the April 14, 2014 bomb blast at Nyanya in Abuja by the Department of State Service should provoke a new approach to checking the spread of terrorism in the country.
The profiles of the paraded suspects, including that of a military deserter who had served in the intelligence unit of the Nigerian Army and a son of a top retired army officer, coupled with their frightening confessions, especially the plans to launch “mass attacks against the Nigerian state,” clearly confirm the entrenchment of terrorism in the land.
VILLAGERS TOOK THEIR FATE IN THEIR OWN HANDS AS THEY ROUTED BOKO HARAM MILITANTS IN BORNO.
Reports from Borno indicates that a vigilante group made up of residents of Kalabalge, a town in Borno North, today mounted a fierce resistance to a siege by members of Boko Haram, inflicting severe casualties on militants from the fringe Islamist sect according to Sahara Reporters.
“We killed many of them [Boko Haram members] today,” one of the residents of the town who took part in the battle told a correspondents
Several other residents disclosed that the members of the community had received advance information that Boko Haram’s death squads were on their way to wreak havoc in the community. “Once we got the information, we gathered many of our young men and positioned ourselves in surrounding bushes and forests. We were armed with bows and arrows, Dane guns and pump action rifles,” said one source.
WHO WILL REPLACE THE OUTGOING INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE????
The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, is expected to proceed on terminal leave any moment from now, having spent the mandatory number of years in service.
Abubakar, from Zamfara State, enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force on July 30, 1979 and is due for retirement on July 30, 2014, based on the mandatory retirement age.
Findings indicated that the replacement for Abubakar who became the acting IG on January 25, 2012, might be announced early next month by the government.
77 OF THE ABDUCTED CHIBOK GIRLS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY PARENTS - #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS.
Seventy-seven of the more than 200 schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists, a month ago, have been identified from the video released Monday by the sect. This came as the United States disclosed that it is flying manned surveillance missions over Nigeria in an effort to pinpoint the location of the abducted schoolgirls.
The International Criminal Court, ICC, on its part described the abduction of the schoolgirls as a crime against humanity. The alleged conversion of the schoolgirls into Islam by the sect has also been condemned by Islamic groups and the All Progressives Congress, APC describing it as unacceptable. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said the forceful conversion is a call for war.
Following release of the video by sect leader, Mallam Abubakar Shekau showing scores of the girls wearing hijabs and reciting the Holy Q’uran, Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima ordered mass production of the video to be shown to the parents of the abducted girls for identification.

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT BOKO HARAM LEADER ABUBAKAR SHEKAU.
In a field already crowded with bloodthirsty braggarts, the leader of Boko Haram has achieved the dubious distinction of becoming arguably the most menacing figure ever to appear in a jihadist video.
Vicious and sneering in equal measure, Abubakar Shekau’s cackling laughter and rambling manner give him more of the air of a psychopath than a militant. By comparison, the late Osama bin Laden comes across as almost measured. And as Nigeria has learned the hard way in the last five years, his terrifying on-screen persona is no act. Shekau is considered the group’s most ruthless commander by far, and has played a key role in taking it down the path of all-out war on the rest of Nigeria. While it is the kidnapping of the schoolgirls that has earned him world notoriety, his group is already believed to have murdered up 5,000 people in the last five years, many of them innocent villagers.
PHOTOS OF THE FIRST NYANYA BOMBERS.....

The suspects are Ahmad Abubakar (aka Abu Ibrahim/Maiturare), Mohammed Ishaq, Yau Saidu (aka Kotar Rama), Anas Isah and Adamu Yusuf.
The DSS Deputy Director, Public Relations, Marilyn Ogar, who paraded the suspects in Abuja on Monday, said the masterminds of the blast, Rufai Tsiga (aka Dr. Tsiga), and a military deserter, Aminu Ogwuche, had been declared wanted.
Ogar announced a cash reward of N25m for information that could lead to their arrest.
VIDEO OF ABDUCTED CHIBOK SCHOOL GIRLS - #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS

(VIDEO) - Solange Knowles attacks her sister's husband - Jay Z In Elevator.
A new video obtained by TMZ allegedly shows Solange Knowles beating her sister's husband,Jay Z, in an elevator.
According to their source, the brawl took place at the Standard Hotel in NYC during a Met Gala after party.
In the video, Solange is seen entering into an elevator followed by Beyonce, Jay Z and a body guard. Solange immediately gets in Hov’s face and has to be restrained by the body guard.
At this point, Solange gets heated and begins employing all types of wild martial art shit, causing Hov to throw up the Roc sign with one hand, on some “You better chill the fuck out before stepping to the god.” It looks like he’s about to swing on her but restrains himself.
Beyoncé barely reacts at first, and only tries to jump in once Solange starts with the Liu Kang kicks.
The video has no audio so the conversation that took place remains unknown.

FOUR NIGERIANS AND AN HUNGARIAN JAILED FOR ARRANGING SHAM MARRIAGES IN THE UK
 |
| Azuka Izegbune |
Azuha Izegbune, 38, was the mastermind of the visa con - which saw fake weddings staged at registry offices in Birmingham, Stoke and Glasgow.
The former security guard from Birmingham, West Midlands, was paid to arrange fake weddings between Hungarian and Nigerian nationals so they could remain in the UK. The weddings were arranged so both brides and grooms could secure European Area Residence Cards.
Some of the grooms were flown in to the UK just hours before the fake ceremonies took place. Following a Home Office probe, the scam was exposed - and those involved have now been sentenced to a total of nine years in jail at Birmingham Crown Court.
OPPOSITION PARTY APC HOLDS WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE ON STATE OF THE NATION.
The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, on Sunday addressed a World Press Conference organized by the party to deliberate on the State of the Nation, particularly on the issue of terrorism.
In his address, Mr Akande said the occasion had become necessary to search for answers to the nation’s security challenges which had led to the death and displacement of many citizens, especially in the northern region.
According to him, the conference was not staged “to apportion blame, but to take a critical and non-partisan look at the situation we are in and also to offer suggestions on the way out of what has now become a quagmire.”
Akande who gave a detailed timeline of the major activities of the Boko Haram sect since the UN Building bombing in Abuja in 2011, decried government’s “tepid statements commiserating with the victims and their families, vowing to hunt down the culprits and bring them to justice, and then telling a bewildered nation: ‘We are on top of the situation’.|”
Describing the government’s constant reassurances as “empty rhetoric”, Akande stated that the emboldened acts of the insurgents were credited to the opposition, which he decried.

MANCHESTER CITY CROWNED CHAMPIONS PLUS ROUND-UP OF FINAL GAMES.
There was no call for last-gasp heroics as Manchester City claimed the Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 victory over West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium.
City had famously relied on two injury-time goals when beating Manchester United to the title on goal difference in 2012, but this time around Samir Nasri broke the deadlock six minutes before the break before Vincent Kompany settled the nerves on 49 minutes.
City had gone into the game knowing a draw was almost certainly enough to secure the title as a result of their goal difference.
