Nigeria: Sixty Killed in Nigeria in Suspected Boko Haram Attacks!


Witnesses say dozens of people are dead after suspected Boko Haram militants attacked two villages in northeastern Nigeria.
A local reporter told VOA's Hausa Service that more than 40 people were killed and another 25 were injured late Sunday when assailants attacked the village of Kawori in Borno state.
The attackers set fire to homes, a market, and places of worship in the village.
In another incident, gunmen opened fire at a church Sunday morning in Chakawa, in Adamawa state. A local journalist said that two policemen and 18 civilians were killed.
Borno and Adamawa are two of the three states where Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency last May as part of efforts to fight Boko Haram.
The Islamist militant group is blamed for thousands of deaths since launching its uprising against the government in 2009.
Jonathan replaced his chief of defense and the heads of the army, navy and air forces last week. No reason was given for the moves, but the army has struggled to stop attacks by Boko Haram.

Malawi: Former Justice Minister Arrested!


                 
                                
Cape Town — Former Malawian Justice Minister Raphael Kasambara and a senior civil servant were arrested on money-laundering charges on Monday, report the country's newspapers.
The Maravi Post said a senior official in the Cabinet and president's office, Joster Njanji, was also held following a probe into "how millions of dollars were allegedly looted in government in dubious deals."
The Nyasa Times said five police vehicles arrived at Kasambara's home at 5.30 am and towed away a car allegedly used in the shooting last September of a former government budget director, Paul Mphwiyo. Kasambara was previously arrested on charges arising from the shooting.
The Times said Kasambara at first refused to admit police to his home but was eventually arrested and taken first to police headquarters, then to a police station.
The Times also reported that Justice Minister Fahad Assani on Sunday told a radio station that there was "overwhelming" evidence implicating Kasamabara in the budget director's shooting.
The Nation newspaper reported the former minister dismissed his arrest, saying, "It's a joke of a charge."

GOV.AMAECHI AIDS OJB WITH $100,000



photo
The Governor of Rivers State,Rotimi Amaechi has just approved the sum of $100,000 over N15.5m, the total money expected to get Music Producer OJB Jezreel the required medical treatment for his ailing Kidneys.
The move was made by Jazzman Olofin, who was said to have visited Mr. Femi Davies, a top journalist and online publisher to complain about the way the people around are treating the issue of the prolific producer/singer.
According to reports, Femi Davies intensified effort to liaise with another top journalist, Mr. Wale Olaleye, This Day Political Editor and he was said to have asked Mr. Davies to come forth with a formal letter of request to be forwarded to Governor Amaechi.
Contact was therefore made to the Governor through the Thisday political editor, Mr. Wale.It was gathered that as soon as the letter got to the embattled governor, he signed it and ordered the state to pay as soon as possible. Governor Amaechi surprised all and sundry as he made this whopping donation.
Gov Amaechi of Rivers State and people of the State, have finally restored the hope of the people who have rallied round to help the entertainer, OJB.
Though, there seem to be some rancor between the people in charge of the 'Support OJB Team' as some people are already deliberating on how to have their share of the money as soon as it arrives since Governor Amaechi has coughed out the whole money needed for the kidney transplant and there were previous donations close to N10m before now.
According to the information got, the money will get to the ailing entertainer before the close of work today or tomorrow.
We hope Amaechi's government would attend to this cause on time and speedily disburse the money before it's too late like what happened in Edo State recently when a civil servant who needed just N150,000 had to lose his life because the money was not speedily disbursed as authorized by the governor.
