Two die after drinking N1, 850 holy water from pastor

A man, said to be a pastor and his female accomplice are in Police net in Asaba, the Delta State capital for the alleged killing of two children with a deadly substance sold by the pastor to his congregation as holy water for N1,850.

The Delta State Police Command spokesperson, DSP Celestina Kalu, in a press release, said the suspects are in custody helping the police with relevant information.

According to DSP Kalu: "On July 25, at about 4.00 am, the Police at Abraka Police Station received information that a woman, Ese Oghenevwe (25), of Urhuoka quarters, Abraka had killed her two sons namely, Prayer Clement (9 months) and Wisdom Clement ( 2 years) by giving them a liquid substance to drink.

"Based on the information, detectives arrested the said Ese Oghenevwe. The suspect revealed that the substance was given to her by one Apostle Austin Eduviere of Triumphant World International Church for healing purposes as the Apostle claimed he had prayed over it.

"Meanwhile, the said Apostle Austine has also been arrested and he is helping the Police in their investigation. The suspect disclosed that the said substance was a mixture of water and salt which he sold to people for N1,850.00 for healing of various sicknesses after praying for them."

The police say they are on top of the situation and must get to the root of the "sanctified water" saga.

Ebola cure hope

Four out of five people who get infected die

A plant has been found to halt the deadly Ebola virus in its tracks in laboratory tests, scientists have said.

The extract can be eaten or rubbed into the skin

They used a compound from Garcinia kola, a plant commonly eaten in West Africa. Compounds from the plant have also proved effective against some strains of flu.

If the anti-Ebola compound proves successful in animal and human trials, it will be the first medicine to successfully treat the virus that causes Ebola haemorrhagic fever - an often-fatal condition.

Barring any last change of plan, the Federal Government is expected to announce Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 7, Mr. Suleiman Abba, as a replacement for Mohammed Abubakar, the Inspector-General of Police, whose tenure ended on July 30, 2014.

Findings indicated that President Goodluck Jonathan had already conveyed to Abba the news of his appointment as the next IG, following his selection by the Police Council made up of the 36 state governors and the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro.

Striking workers of the Lagos State University, Ojo, on Wednesday forcibly shut offices in the university, an action that disrupted all administrative and academic activities in the school.

Apart from the office of the Vice-Chancellor, members of the institution's Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, who have been on strike since last May; shut all other offices in the school.

The development, our correspondent gathered, frustrated hundreds of graduates of the university, who converged on the institution to collect their National Youth Service Corps call up letters.

For decades, the global community, particularly the African continent, has been battling with diseases such as malaria, syphilis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, tetanus, measles, whooping cough, diarrhea, pneumonia and HIV/AIDS.

While nations and international health organisations continue to formulate ways – both scientific and unorthodox – to contain these diseases, a (relatively) new infection has crept in. It is known as Ebola.

After weeks of speculations on alleged hatch to impeach Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, the rumours may soon take a real form as the state legislature has commenced moves to oust the Governor.

DailyPost was exclusively informed Wednesday afternoon that the group which is currently in the majority in the House of Assembly, has been meeting secretly to perfect plans toward actualising its resolution to the sack Amosun.

The lawmakers are said to have compiled a list of 14-point constitutional breach by the Governor which they intend to present before the plenary as soon as they perfect the plot.

Part of the allegations raised in the 14-point impeachable offences made available to DailyPost include:

The Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mike Omeri, on yesterday, stated that a 10-year-old girl with explosives strapped to her body in northern Katsina state has been arrested.

According to him, "Security forces on Tuesday July 29, arrested three suspects believed to be members of Boko Haram, including a "10-year-old girl".

MBGN winner lied about her age

‎Several reports have alluded that Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria winner,Iheoma Nnadi lied about her age.

Nnadi, according to her Silverbird profile, is 19 years of age.

The reports began after the above photo was found on Instagram account, which she said she took 7 years ago.

Well that certainly isn't a 12-year old. Or could it be.

What do you call this? I am sure this girl is not more than ten years. What will her parents say when she grows up dressing like this. I am sure they feel she is still too young. But come to think of it, don't men rape three years old children these days? And with this girl looking so sexy why won't a man rape her.
When she gets to 16 and becomes uncontrollable her parents will start going from church to church looking for a miracle that will change her over night.

An unknown woman caused a stir at the Nelson Mandela Square in South Africa when she stripped na.ked, caressed and hugged Mandela's statue.

According to reports, everyone around rushed out to see her and a man got smacked on the head by his wife for trying to take a closer lookm

The guard on duty then told put on her clothes which she did and left.

According to ReportGhanaNews, the Pastor(pictured above) was preaching to his congregation on a Sunday morning then he ask people with health problems to stand up and come close to touch a specific place on his body for healing.

While everyone was touching the Pastor's head, shoes and shoulder; this woman, a bishop of same congregation decided to hold the pastor's pen*s for healing.

Then I gave him my answer, I said "yes" but I was determined not to be his wife for just the session.

We were now in a relationship and I didn't want to know how he was going to get rid of Tolu or how he got rid of her if he had done it already, I just knew that I had passed the first stage. I picked up my phone and called my friends. I told them about the development. "You?" Deborah asked. You that behaves as if you would die a virgin; you that has never gotten a boyfriend; I would never snatch another woman's man. Fauziat you are heartless." I allowed her talk then I told her I just called to inform her and then hung up.

When I called Tobi the response was different. "Fauziat, I am proud of you. You love it and you went for it. I want to be like you." Her response took away the guilt I had started to feel after I spoke with Deborah.

Still on the moon-sighting

PRESS RELEASE:
SULTAN'S ANNOUNCEMENT STANDS

An online media outfit published a story yesterday Tuesday 29th July, 2014 in which it claimed that the Sultan's Palace admitted that the moon was not sighted before the Sultan made the announcement. The publication claimed that the Sultan admitted that he made a mistake and that the Moon-Sighting Committee was right.

After painstaking investigation, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) can confirm that the story is false, baseless and without any iota of truth. We spoke with the Sultan to ascertain the truth.

A 43-year old mechanic in Minna, Obi Orji has committed suicide over his inability to pay his N35,000 house rent b y drinking a poisonous chemical.

It was learnt that Obi took his own life after his wife and five children had left for the morning mass, leaving only him at home. Here's how his colleague described what happened.

Obi's landlord, simply identified as Alhaji Lateef, had constantly traced him to his workshop at the Mechanic bye-pass in Minna, threatening to forcefully evict him out of the house if he failed to pay his rent at the appointed date.

I have cure for Ebola virus- Pastor

Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, Founder of Trinity House in Lagos claims to have the cure for the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease that is currently ravaging Africa.

Following the first discovered case of Ebola in the country, Ighodalo said he had a "message of hope and faith" that would uncover the solution to the highly infectious disease.

According to Ighodalo, God's "anointing" and the "living words of Jesus," were all that are needed to cure the deadly disease," adding that mere laying of hands on those afflicted with the incurable Ebola virus was all that was required to liberate them.

Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has suspended all ASky Airline flight operations to Nigeria over the transportation of an Ebola virus victim into the country.

Mr Benedict Adeyileka, the Acting Director-General of NCAA, announced the decision in a statement issued by the general manager, public communications of NCAA, Mr Fan Ndubuoke, in Lagos on Monday.

UPDATE: Commonwealth Games: Nigerian gold medallist, Chika Amalaha, accused of doping, suspended

Chika Amalaha has been provisionally suspended from the tournament.

A Nigerian athlete, Chika Amalaha, on Tuesday failed a preliminary drug test at the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

The 16-year-old weightlifter had on Saturday won gold medal in the 53kg category before testing positive shortly afterwards.

Officials have now requested a B sample test on the athlete.

Commonwealth Games Federation chief executive, Mike Hooper, was quoted on the Games' website as saying on Tuesday morning that nobody should conclude yet.

The committee carried out its assignment between 6:45PM and 7:45PM on Sunday.

The palace of Sultan Sa'ad Abubakar has now admitted that the Sultan made a mistake by announcing the end of Ramadan based on claims by some Nigerian Muslims that they sighted the new moon of Shawwal on Saturday night.

The result of the joint moonsighting exercise undertaken by the Sultanate Moon Sighting Committee and the Nigerian National Moonsighting Committee on Sunday clearly showed that the monarch erred in the pronouncement he made on Saturday prematurely terminating the Ramadan fast in Nigeria.

A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Sunday morning lost one of his sons in a car crash.

Confirming the incident, El-Rufai in a statement posted on his Facebook page wrote: "From Allah, we came and to Him we shall return. Please join our family in praying for the repose of the soul of my son, Hamza El-Rufai who died this morning in a motor accident in Abuja."

DailyPost recalls that On November 26 2014, Yasmine, eldest daughter of the ex-BPE boss, passed away suddenly in her London apartment after a reported neurological attack.

‎The Lagos State Government said on Monday that it had identified no fewer than 59 people who had contacts with the Liberian who died of Ebola Virus in the state, Mr Patrick Sawyer.

Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris, said at a news conference in Ikeja that the contact tracing became imperative to ascertain any possible transmission of the virus by the victim.

Idris said the identified contacts comprised 44 hospital and 15 airport contacts, including the Nigerian Ambassador to Liberia.

"You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome to reach your goals."

No wonder we have few successful people. Those who look at the obstacles before they start are often failures. But those who ignore the obstacles often succeed against all odds. Success has measures. The amount of obstacles you face in life dictates the amount of success you will surely experience.

‎Nigeria is the only country in the world whose Muslim faithful are celebrating Eid-El-Fitri (the end of Ramadan festivities) today following the controversial announcement by the Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Sa'ad, on Saturday night that the new moon of Shawwal was sighted in some cities across the country, PREMIUM TIMES can report today.

This newspaper gathered, through extensive investigations and interviews with leading Islamic clerics, that the Ramadan fast in other parts of the world would only end today (Sunday), with the Eid-El-Fitri celebrations holding on Monday.

Militant leader, Dokubo-Asari, who is also the leader of Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force, NDPSF, yesterday, exploded, saying Buhari masterminded the attack on himself.

He lashed out at the former head of state, saying he plotted to kill many innocent Nigerians in the explosion.

The former President of Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, of the Niger Delta region, who spoke to journalists in Abuja, said Buhari and his group would fail in their conspiracy and desperation to take over power from President Goodluck Jonathan.

The remains of the first victim of Ebola Disease in Nigeria, who died in Lagos on Friday, has been cremated.
