NCC Advises Nigerians to Ignore Rumours of Phone-Induced Death

The 'killer' numbers are supposedly 09141 and 091441. So basically, when these numbers call you and you pick = you die! Some people claim that 10 people died in Wukari while receiving calls from these phone numbers. Really? Wow! And some people are buying this? OK!

Anyway, the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has advised Nigerians to ignore such rumours. The commission said the claim is false and without any iota of truth, and that nothing like that could happen to somebody responding to a phone, no matter the number through which such calls are made. It is only very gullible people that will believe such a rumour, they said

Bauchi bank attack: Insiders' job - Police

BAUCHI-Bauchi State Police Commissioner, Mr Ikechukwu Aduba, yesterday said the attacks on a police station and bank in Misau Local Government of the state by suspected Boko Haram members were facilitated by insiders.

The hoodlums had last week raided a first generation bank and carted away about N19.2 million before proceeding to the nearby police station where they allegedly detonated a bomb that razed down the building after shooting five policemen and a civilian, injuring another civilian.

The police said although they have succeded in killing three of the suspected attackers, the ease with which they (attackers) carted away the huge amount of cash from the vaults of the bank; having had a field day showed that insiders were involved.

“The issue of insider involvement was so glaring and cannot be ruled out. While the bank manager escaped, two of the bank staff with the keys to the strong room were around to handover the keys to the bandits with little or no threat.

“Intelligence reports at our disposal indicate that the hoodlums later parked their vehicles at a distance and trekked to the police station.

“Within this period, nobody deemed it necessary to alert the police and at the end of the day, we lost six citizens and about N19.2million cash.’’ Aduba further said that an on-the-spot assessment of the crime scene’ he conducted with other police top shots showed that the hoodlums effectively broke into the bank through the door leading to the emergency exit of the banking hall, where they were handed over the keys.

He confirmed that five policemen and a civilian were killed during the two operations, while one civilian sustained gun shot injuries and was currently recuperating in an unnamed hospital, the commissioner lamented.

On the attitude of people towards their security, the Commissioner said, “the command will once again repeat our clarion call that security is everyone’s business and it takes the concerted efforts of the police and the general public to police a community.”

“The Police Force has no magic wand to wipe out crimes and to this extent we have often enjoined members of the public to feed us with necessary information as regards any suspicious movement.”

Nigerian Fraudsters Jailed in UK

Two fraudsters who convinced a pensioner she had won a £5.7m lottery jackpot before conning her out of her life-savings were jailed for a total of 50 months today.

Joshua Obasuyi, 49, and Julius Oweka, 48, were part of a Nigerian gang who tricked U.S. Professor Marie Lowery, 80, a retired lecturer at the University of Houston, Texas, into handing over £245,000.

She was strung along by the London-based conmen for nearly four years, after responding to a spam e-mail that told her she had won the jackpot in a prize draw.

President Jonathan Speak on Suicide Attack on UN Building

"By today's attack, we are once again reminded of the international character of terrorism and its indiscriminate targeting of innocent civilians, I affirm Nigeria's determination to continue to play its part in the global effort to eradicate the scourge of terrorism in all its ramifications." - GEJ. #talktalk

Meanwhile, not to cause any panic o, but there's a broadcast I got that I feel I should share. We might have nothing to fear in Lagos, but just in case, let's all be security conscious. These animals can obviously strike at any time and any place. RIP to all those who lost their lives today. May God keep us all safe. Read the broadcast after the cut...



Stay off the Third Mainland Bridge and surrounding areas.
"Lagosians are advised to stay off the Third Mainland Bridge and surrounding areas. Unconfirmed report says terrorists plan to bomb Lagos within 24 hours of bombing the UN building in Abuja. This information comes from 1st suspect arrested in connection with the Abuja blast. The law enforcement agencies are working to thwart the latest threat.

Kefee Opens For Indie Arie at Chicago Fiesta

Sapele-born artiste, Irikefe Obareki aka Kefee is preparing for the performance of her life as she gets the unenviable task of opening the stage for American soul singer India Arie at the African Festival of the Arts, Chicago (AFA).

With her performance, Kefee would join the exclusive club of music greats to fly the African banner on the AFA platform like Angelique Kidjo and Hugh Masekela.

The show is expected to be seen by an estimated 30,000 crowd on Labour Day Weekend, September 5, 2011 at the main stage of Festival Dee Parmer Woodtor, named after the co-founder.
Kefee who jetted out of the country two weeks ago with her band members is on a month’s six-city tour of the United States.
“If I ever liked African music, this experience has made me like it more now than I ever did. I am very proud of what I do. The reception of my kind of music has been overwhelming even though some of my audience don’t understand my language yet they respond enthusiastically”, she told EE exclusively from her US-based.
AFA is regarded as the largest neighbourhood festival of its kind in the United States.
Currently on its 22nd anniversary, the festival is a yearly spectacular celebration of arts and culture from across the African Diaspora. The fiesta features a parade of African-cuisine, fabrics and visual arts.
Other American stars that would perform at the event include gospel duo, Mary Mary and Bootsy Collins among others.
In time past, it has played host artistes including as James Brown, Roberta Flack, Chaka Khan, Erykah Badu, Bobby Womack, Gil Scott Heron, Nona Hendryx, Dwele, Goapele, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Slave, Les McCann, Rachelle Ferrell, Kool and the Gang, The Brothers Johnson, and Kindred the Family Soul to name a few.
