Amazing! Bra Saves Woman’s Life From Gun Shot

The metal part of a bra saved a female tourist from suffering greater injury when she was hit by a stray piece of ammunition during a hunt in northern Germany, police reported Friday.

The 41 year-old woman from North Rhine-Westphalia was cycling through a rape field in the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with a male companion when she suddenly felt pain.

“According to our enquiries so far, she was hit by an object in the breast area,” a police spokesman in the port of Wismar said.


A wild boar hunt was taking place in the area at the time of the accident. The woman from the city of Guetersloh suffered only bruising. A piece of ammunition was found on the bra’s metal wire.

A local newspaper reported the incident on Friday, saying that it took place on Sunday.
The hunt was stopped and the hunter’s rifle was seized. It is possible that a piece of shot ricocheted during the hunt.

A dead young boar was also found during the investigation after the incident.

Buhari’s anti-corruption fight not targeted at Jonathan – Osinbajo

The Buhari administration’s anti-corruption effort is not targeted at anyone, but is aimed at reducing corruption in the country, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said Saturday.

Mr. Osinbajo made this known at the funeral of Elizabeth Adesola Mamora, mother of former Lagos senator, Olorunmibe Mamora, held at First Baptist Church, Ijebu-Ife, Ogun State.

He faulted those accusing the Buhari government of witch-hunting the former aides of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“It’s not about a probe of a past government, that’s not what this is about. We are talking about our future, we are saying that we must put in place a clear strategy going forward,” the vice president said.

“Not just about ensuring that people are made to pay for looting the treasury, our system of justice must be fair to ensure that anybody who does anything that is wrong is brought to account. We can’t allow impunity to continue. So it’s not about the previous government, it’s about any form of impunity,” he said.

The Buhari administration had been accused of witch hunt after declaring it will limit its corruption probe to the immediate past Jonathan administration.

Criticisms intensified with the detention of aides of the former president.

Mr. Osinbajo said claims of witch hunt were untrue. He said the anti-corruption effort of his government is a genuine programme aimed at sanitising the country.

The vice president congratulated Mr. Mamora for organising a befitting burial for his mother whom he said brought him up with good moral teachings and in the way of God.

Delivering his sermon, the leader of the Baptist Church in Ogun State, Segun Jaiyesimi, challenged political leaders to make positive change while in office, and urged them to help the needy in the society while on earth as there will be no opportunity to do so after death.

The event was also attended by the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, APC leaders, Bola Tinubu, and Bisi Akande, fas well as former governors of Ogun and Rivers states, Gbenga Daniel and Rotimi Amaechi respectively, among others.

”We have established Office of Overseas Affairs and Investment so that we can strengthen bi-lateral relationship. We need more investors to come into Lagos so that we can create employment and grow our GDP.

”Whatever it is you think we can do to increase the number of investors from India, we are ready to talk, ‘ he said.

Ambode expressed his appreciation to the visitors, noting that Lagos could draw inspiration from India as a modern democracy, and from the way its economy had thrived, in spite of its huge population.

He assured the High Commissioner that Lagos was ready to expand its frontiers to accommodate investors willing to set up their businesses in the State.

”We are in dire need of a platform that allows for food security, since this will directly impact on the lives of the residents of the State.

”It will also improve the economy of the State, increase the internally generated revenue, and translate to further employment opportunities for our unemployed youths,” he said.

Ambode listed software technology, manufacturing, as well as Agro and Agro-allied sectors as possible areas where such bi-lateral relations could be strengthened.

According to him, his government will ensure that the state is safe, conducive and investor-friendly, to accommodate new businesses and investors willing to partner with Lagos.

In his remarks, Ghanashyan said his country was willing to partner with Lagos as it remains the economic hub and capital of Nigeria, as well as home to many India investments.

He informed Ambode that the crux of the visit was to invite him to address a delegation of 150 businessmen that would visit Lagos in the coming weeks as well as to seek ways to strengthen bi-lateral trade between India and Lagos State.

Abandoned project deprives us of our livelihood – Community

Residents of Uko Nteghe Community in Mbo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, have raised the alarm over non-completion of Etebi-Enwang Bridge by the previous administration of Senator Godswill Akpabio

According to them, the incomplete project has affected their source of livelihood.

The project is a network of 22 km with 12 km of it almost completed. Work on the main bridge is also said to be 68 per cent completed.

Southern City News gathered that the company handling the bridge contract had partitioned the river, which hindered the free flow of water into the other part of the river.

It was learnt that the tiny holes, which were made for the passage of the water, hindered fishing activities in the area.

The Youth Vice President of the community, Mr. Edward Moses, told Southern City News in Uko Nteghe on Thursday, that the community had been deprived of their means of livelihood as 93 per cent of Uko Nteghe indigenes are fishermen and women.

Moses said since the work on the bridge began in 2007, the community had expected the project would not last for more than a year or two before completion.

He added that the community adopted a new lifestyle by rendering services to the construction company and oil firm in the area.

Moses stated some of the workers were on contract and were laid off.

He said, “Our community has been facing tough times. We cannot go to the sea for fishing as the river had been partitioned by Sino Eng because of the project.

“Now, they have succeeded in starving us. The sea does not produce fish anymore. Unlike in the previous past when we used to have good catch. But now, one may sail from morning till evening without having a catch that is even sufficient to feed one’s family,” Moses said.

However, the administration manager, Sino Eng, Mr. Moses Unweh, said the project was abandoned as government did not release funds to contractors.

He stated that once the funds were released to the contractors, work on the bridge as well as on the road would begin in earnest.

We didn’t approve Davido’s video –Censors board

Following the decision of the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency to investigate if the controversial video of Davido’s recent duet with American rapper, Meek Mill, titled Fans mi, was censored, the Acting Head, Corporate Affairs of the Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board, Mike Ekunno, has said that it did not approve the video before it was released.

Ekunno noted this during a short telephone interview with our correspondent on Tuesday.

But the spokesman declined comment when asked if it was the responsibility of the NFVCB to approve music videos shot by Nigerian artistes. Instead, he suggested that the question should be directed to the Board’s Director-General.

READ: I paid N60,000 to escape from police cell — Serial robbery suspect

In a report recently published in Sunday PUNCH, the Director of Public Affairs of the NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, was quoted as saying that the agency had set up a panel to investigate the making of the video, which he alleged had clearly promoted drug trafficking.

Describing Davido’s role and what fired the NDLEA’s interest in the video, Ofoyeju had said, “When our attention was drawn to the video, we viewed it and we discovered that it was improper. There is no moral lesson in it and he was just advertising drug trafficking.

“In the video, he exchanged a briefcase that supposedly contained narcotics for American dollars. He was displaying affluence in the video. If the plot had climaxed in an arrest and possible detention, we would have congratulated him on partnering with us. But the way he portrayed drug trafficking in the video was a means to an end, which the end is a life of affluence which we disagree with.”

But Davido’s manager, Kamal Ajiboye, in another interview with our correspondent on Tuesday, defended the singer and the content of the video.

“People have been talking about the matter on social media. Maybe they need to take time to watch the video again and see for themselves what it is all about. I don’t know why anybody would want to make up a story about Davido getting involved with hard drugs,” he said.

Also, responding to the decision of the NDLEA to investigate the video and, possibly, invite the popular singer for questioning, Ajiboye said his client had not received any invitation for questioning from the NDLEA.

But he noted that what the NDLEA had mistaken for drugs was actually yam flour. “The yam flour was well projected in the video. It was finally prepared as a meal of pounded yam to be eaten with vegetable soup in one of the scenes in the same video,” he said.

Ajiboye argued that, contrary to what many may think, the Fans mi video was aimed at promoting the production and sale of yam flour in Nigeria.

Noting that the agency’s reaction to the video and that of members of the public ran contrary to the message of the video, he continued, “The story is basically to dissuade people from trafficking in hard drugs. The purpose of the video is to let the audience know that since some people are making money from hard drugs, they can also make a lot of money by selling yam flour.”

Davido’s manager accused those who have lampooned the video of deliberately interpreting its message in a negative way. By kicking against it, he said, the NDLEA and other critics had shown that they did not wait to watch the video till the end before concluding that it was promoting hard drugs.

I paid N60,000 to escape from police cell — Serial robbery suspect

His arrest, escape from police cell and re-arrest is generating controversy. Wasiu Saka, 30, was a notorious car robber in Ondo State and his mode of operation was to apply as a driver to un-suspecting employers and, after securing employment, abscond with their cars.

After stealing cars from his employers in Lagos State, Saka will drive to Akungba-Akoko,   his home town in Ondo State, to show off that he had ‘arrived’ and live big after which he would sell the car at a ridiculous price and return to Lagos for another car theft operation.

He was arrested by detectives from the Ondo State Police Command last month with a Toyota  Hiace bus marked, Lagos JJJ 94XD.

After interrogation, he reportedly confessed to have stolen the bus from a Good Samaritan who,    after listening to his story that he has a family in Ondo State and had been jobless for months and desperately in need of a job to feed his family members, employed him as a driver.

Police sources hinted that Saka had stolen no fewer than four vehicles, including a vehicle belonging to a notable company in Lagos.

After his arrest on June 21, he, however,  miraculously escaped from police cell in the night of the second day after the arrest.

His escape caused a stir as the police authorities queried the officers in charge of his case and a standing order was given to smoke him out from his hideout.

The suspect was re-arrested after a manhunt for him yielded result in Akungba-Akoko area.

Upon re-arrest, Saka allegedly confessed that his escape from police cell was made possible with help from some policemen, and that after paying them relocated to Ile-Ife, Osun State to avoid the prying eyes of police detectives.

He alleged that those who aided his escape from police cell also taught him what to do to avoid re-arrest.

Saka alleged that while the police were searching for him, he was in touch with his accomplices from his hideout.

In Ile-Ife, Saka said he continued with his robbery business because, according to him, that was the only business he knew how to do.

He stated that he secured a driving job with one Mrs Rosemary Omotosho whom she took to church on Sunday, July 26, in her Toyota car marked Lagos LSR 68 DH.

Speaking exclusively with Sunday Vanguard after he was paraded by the Ondo State Police Command, alongside 36 other suspected criminals terrorizing the state, the suspect Saka said after he dropped his employer in church he fled with the car only to inform her that the vehicle had been stolen.

He said that because Omotosho is rich, he wanted to extort her before selling the car and bolting away.

Five days later, he called her again that some people had recovered the car in Ibadan but were demanding for N35, 000 before they could bring back the car to her.

The employer, according to him, immediately sent a recharge voucher of N10,000 to him to pay.

According to him, he informed the boss that the people insisted that the car would not be released until the balance was paid.

As this went on, he said he relocated to Akungba-Akoko with the car.

Police source said Saka was re-arrested in a beer parlour .

It was gathered that it was while he was being interrogated for the previous alleged crimes that his activities in Ife came to light .However, during interrogation, the suspect alleged that he was able to escape from police cell after settling some policemen with N60,000.

“When I was told that I would be taken to court and may be remanded in Olokuta Prison, I discussed with some policemen on how they could assist me”,he was quoted as saying.

“ I later paid them N60, 000 and they facilitated my escape from cell and I fled to Ile-Ife. Saka described the police allegation that he escaped from cell  as unfair, saying he paid his way through.

But two policemen, who reportedly witnessed the interview, were said to have shouted him down, describing him as a chronic liar and notorious car robber who spoke from both sides of the mouth.

They queried how the same policemen he was accusing of aiding his escape were the ones that re-arrested him.

According to them, the suspect was a drowning man looking for those to pull down and blackmail.

However, the state Police Commissioner, Isaac Eke, and the policemen did not say how Saka escaped from police cell but only interested in his re-arrest.

Eke, while speaking on the 37 suspected criminal arrested in July, said the suspect was in the habit of stealing his employers vehicles in Lagos and driving them to Akungba-Akoko to sell only to return to Lagos to look for another driving job and would repeat the same thing to un-suspecting car owners.

The examination fees, considered arbitrary and exorbitant by students, are separate from the fees charged by the university for PG courses. The university management also added more than doubled fees for masters from N41,400 (Sciences) and N55,900 (Arts) to N99,500 (Sciences)and N114,000 (Arts).

The increases, according to the circular, took effect from 2014/2015 academic session and school fees are to be paid every session by the PG students and there will be no clearance if any arrears are unpaid.

Some of the PG students, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard, complained bitterly over the charges for external defence of thesis and dissertation as the university had no such fees when they were admitted.
