After previously saying Kenyan soldiers only took water from Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre during a deadly siege, the head of the army now says his men looted a variety of items.
General Julius Karangi identified the looters as Victor Otieno and Victor Ashiundu.
He said the two soldiers were found with mobile phones, cameras and chargers that were stolen from the shopping centre during the siege, which left 67 people dead.
"Discipline is our core driving point and we are not playing with this issue," he said. "That is why we have taken action on these soldiers. Two of them have been jailed and dismissed while a third one is under probe."
The attack was the largest in Kenya since the 1998 bombings by al-Qaeda of the US embassy in Nairobi, the capital.
The Somali group al-Shabaab claimed responsibly for the attack, saying it was in retribution for Kenya's military involvement in Somalia, which began in October 2011.
Security camera video
Two weeks ago, a security camera video seen by the Associated Press news agency showed men in fatigues walking out of the Westgate holding plastic bags filled with unknown items.
Others looked behind counters as they moved into the shopping centre.
Kenya's security forces denied any wrongdoing and politicians who investigated the soldiers said they had stolen nothing.
Many questions, including what caused a part of the mall to collapse, remain unanswered more than a month after the attack. Kenyan officials have urged patience, saying they need more time to investigate the scene.
Local and foreign investigators have since been digging through the rubble for evidence, and at least four bodies believed to be those of the attackers have been retrieved.
Suspects in custody
Ndegwa Muhoro, Kenya's director of criminal investigations, said on Tuesday that five suspects were in custody and that two other suspects believed to have played a role in the attack were still at large.
He identified the wanted suspects as Kenyan national Abdikadir Haret Mohamed, who also is known as
Mohamed Hussein, as well as a Somali national named Adan Dheq.
Dheq also is known as Hussein Abdi Ali or Abdulahi Dugon Subow.
The two suspects owned the Mitsubishu salon car registration that police seized outside the shopping centre, nearly a week after the attack.
Police found explosives and weapons inside the car, he said.
Dear fellow Nigerians,
Greetings from far away India! I am sure this note from me will catch you with a little surprise.

The police in Lagos State have commenced investigation into how a nine-year-old girl died, after sustaining injuries caused by alleged consistent rape. According to police authorities, the deceased was raped over five times, by a 14-year-old student, Onyi Adimabua, in the Ikorodu area of the state.
For those who don't remember him, he was one of the host of popular 90's weekly music-dance show, Sunday Rendezvous. Mustapha was also PMAN president from 1993 to 1996. After his tenure, he relocated to the US where he worked with the Discovery Channel as a content producer and editor.
He will be buried today according to Muslim rites. May his soul rest in peace...Amen.
"I want to shout out to the stars on the Walk of Fame because they said something about they're not going to put my girl on the Walk of Fame because she's a reality star. People are so so dated and not modern.
There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't have a star on the Walk of Fame." Kanye said on Jimmy Kimmel Well, Kanye now has his answer. According to Ana Martinez, a spokeswoman for the Walk and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Kim doesn't qualify to receive a star on the legendary sidewalk.
Ana Martinez tells Yahoo's omg!
"We don't have reality stars on the Walk of Fame. We don't have a category for it. We're happy to consider reality stars once they get nominated for, or win, an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar. We'll consider them when they're legitimate actors or singers. I know he loves her, and it's all very sweet, but she doesn't qualify. I hate to say it, but a lot of people just don't like her. No one has ever nominated her."
And that my friends is a wrap for today. Ms Martinez kinda made my day...lol.
The sources told In Touch that Foxx was a frequent visitor to Holmes’ NY apartment. Foxx is in NY filming the remake of the Broadway musical Annie.
Foxx said the rumors began swirling after he and Holmes shared an intimate dance at a party.
“[The rumors] are one hundred percent not true,” Foxx told Entertainment Tonight‘s Nancy O’Dell on Tuesday. “In fact, it’s quite hilarious because we simply danced at a charity event along with a lot of other people.”
Foxx and Holmes’ ex, Tom Cruise, grew close after the two men co-starred in 2004′s “Collateral”.
Keyshia tweeted a photo of her special birthday gift earlier today. See what her gift is after the cut...
TMZ.com reports the woman revealed the existence of Peterson’s 3-month-old infant on her Facebook page.
“Today has been a long day finding out my (daughter’s) brother passed away and knowing that she never even got to meet him,” she wrote.
“Katie and Jamie have been dating for a while,” an insider revealed to In Touch. The source added that Jamie, who is in NY filming the remake of Annie, is a frequent visitor at Katie’s apartment.
According to the source, Jamie and Katie have been extra diligent in keeping their relationship tightly under wraps.
“They’re very Mission: Impossible about their romance,” said the insider.
A second source confirms to In Touch that one early morning in mid-September, a driver pulled in front of the Trump Soho Hotel, prepared to take Jamie to the set of his new flick Annie — but was surprised when Katie stepped into the limo instead. “A hotel employee confirmed that Katie had stayed at the hotel with Jamie and that she was taking his car,” the second source reveals. “So the driver drove her home to her Chelsea apartment.”
Though sparks were clearly flying between Katie and Jamie, 45, when they danced together to Robin Thicke’s sexy “Blurred Lines” at a Hamptons charity bash in late August, Katie’s rep insisted they were still just “friends.” source
The final price was well above the $500,000 Christies estimated the ring would fetch at auction. The bidding war came down to four people — 2 phone bidders and 2 people bidding n person. There is no confirmation that one of the phone bidders was Kim’s baby daddy, Kanye West. The surprise was that Kim gave up the ring after manipulating Humphries into dropping $2 million on the ostentatious bauble But according to Humphries’ lawyer, Lee Hutton, Kim had no choice but to part with the rock“It was something that was a part of the divorce… the dissolution agreement,” Hutton told The News. “Kris is pleased with the outcome of the sale and the fact he can give a portion of the proceeds to a deserving charity.
He’s in the process of selecting the charity now.” Image is everything to Kim. Manipulating a man she didn’t love into buying her a $2 million ring she didn’t deserve is typical of a narcissist.
Heart surgeries are now being performed at the University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan, with the first one being on a 19-year-old boy, on Monday.
The boy’s surgery, which lasted three hours, was among the three slated for the commencement of the operations.
It was done in collaboration with a team of heart surgeons from the United States of America.
Head of the medical team from the U.S., Paul Davids, from Delaware, disclosed that they had replaced the bad valves in the boy’s heart.
He also confirmed that U.C.H was now well-equipped to carry out heart surgeries.
Also speaking, the Chief Medical Director of UCH, Tope Alonge, said the project would be run in collaboration with the Cardiovascular Institute, where Mr. Davids works.
A professor and head of the Department of Paediatrics, Samuel Omokhodion, who led the cardiovascular team from the UCH, said the cost of the operations in Nigeria would not be different from what is obtainable in other developing countries of the world.
According to him, heart problems are common among children and usually occur from birth

NOI Polls revealed:
“In order to commemorate this event and honour the girl child this special day, NOI Polls Limited released one of the polls we conducted in the first quarter of the year 2013, which was focused on the challenges faced by the girl child in Nigeria and indeed the world over as a result of the incidence of rape among women in the society.
34 percent of the participants believed that indecent dressing was the main cause of rape in the society; 18 percent believed unemployment was the cause; nine percent believed it was caused by lack of moral values and another nine percent believed it was caused by the inability to control sexual urges; seven percent said it was caused by faulty upbringing. Five percent of the participants believed rape was caused by illiteracy about women’s rights, ungodliness and bad company.

How is life, now that you have exited Chocolate City?
It has been great. I have had to adjust but it is good because the same team that was with me at Chocolate City is the same team with me now and I have not had to do anything new. At the same time, it is still a lot of responsibility and that is why the adjustment is needed.
There has been a lot of misconception on why you let your former label…

I respect him for seeking spiritual help when others are shying away from the reality of their situation. Even those who are ‘demons’ themselves are throwing insults at Jim.
“Our level of hypocrisy in Nigeria is nauseating. Established ‘sinners’ find it convenient to throw stones at those whose stories become public, making it more difficult for people to seek help. If you have never presented yourself for ‘deliverance’ keep quiet because you’re not sure of what forces are speaking through you.”

The Nigerian electrifying duo, Paul and Peter Okoye – P-Square are still in Canada for their US/Canada tour which ticked off in Chicago on August 23.
The duo performed in Dallas a couple of days ago.

“That was my purpose, to gain his attention. And yes, I did it in an inappropriate way,” Ethel Anderson, who was 29 at the time the abuse began, said in court.
According to reports, over 230 pages of sexually explicit text messages were sent between the teacher and student.
According to Bay News 9, prosecutors obtained more than 230 pages of sexually explicit text messages between the teacher and student.
Although she admitted sending the texts, she denied any contact occurred, and claimed the victim threatened to turn her in.
The victim, now 14, also testified about the alleged abuse on Tuesday.
“We sat on the couch and we started doing s*xual stuff. At first I told her to stop… she was rubbing on my leg, but then it just led to more,” the victim told the court. “She would say she wanted me so bad and she wanted me to go farther [sic]… I just did not want to lose my virginity to a teacher.”
It was reported that the abuse occurred during math tutoring sessions at Anderson’s home between December 2011 and February 2012.
In testimony, the victim told the court that at the time, he thought he was “living a guy’s dream… [of] dating a teacher,” but that he didn’t tell anyone because he “knew she’d get in trouble.”
If convicted, Anderson faces up to 30 years in prison.

It seems their love affair did not end well after Genevieve started acting arrogant to kunle was was said to have taught her alot about the acting industry.
Genevieve who has been avoiding this issue until now that this controversial interview was published see the ish of the matter below:
Question: But the story we had was that kunle coker brought you into Nollywood and both of you even dated:
” yes” Kunle coker was actually my boyfriend, but he did not bring me into the industry.
Question: is it true that you dumped him for fred amata? ” fred amata?
I’ve never had anything to do with Fred Amata, i used to call him uncle, so i don’t see the reason on why i should date Fred. we are just friends”
Anyways Genevieve is now denying this interview. some say is because the name of her ex was mentioned.
The party was held at home with close friends in attendance including Annie Idibia’s manager, Naomi Adenuga who described the party saying:
“The king is not on his throne but the palace is abuzz with activity. Party rice, gifts pouring in, shaaaayo, guests, joy and laughter*.”

Abubakar sent a goodwill message to the superstar via Twitter.
Read his tweets below:
Norman “Dutch Giant” Oosterbroek who protected A-list stars such as Lady Gaga was tasered to death by Miami-Dade County police on Sept. 2 after he stripped naked and broke into a neighbor’s home. Police believe Oosterbrook was high on bath salts at the time of his death.
According to the NY Daily News, a “major print publication” approached Beyonce and Jay Z last year with evidence of their bodyguard’s freaky sexcapades, but the power couple allegedly made a deal the publication to bury the story.
Oosterbroek’s life spiraled out of control in the past months after he lost his job looking out for Jay, Bey and their daughter, Blue Ivy. It all fell apart after the power couple discovered the hulking guard had hired the services of a prostitute while on duty for them in Las Vegas, a source tells us.
The duo also allegedly discovered photographic and video evidence showing Oosterbroek using the family’s passports in a lewd act.
The story was first uncovered by a major print publication last year, which approached Jay Z and Beyoncé for comment. The couple then made a deal to ensure the story never saw the light of day, according to our source.
“Beyoncé and Jay Z were furious when they found out,” said the source. “They trusted Norman with their lives and then he went and did some pretty freaky things, and on video with a hooker. They were outraged.”

At nights I can't sleep too easy, my heart is sore and my mind perpetually clustered with things that leave me shaking. Oh God! Why? I have prayed, I have fasted but nothing has changed, and it's almost a year now. My dreams are nothing but nightmares of all the negatives in this wilderness. What's happening to me? Look at me, I have always enjoyed comforting and giving directions to people in pain, right now I can't even save myself and I have refused to take my own pills.
For those who don't know who Kayode Ogundamisi is, he is a social and political commentator, an activist and a blogger. So what happened was, former VP Atiku Abubakar granted an interview recently where he said he bought his mother a house when he was just 14 years old. Kayode saw the interview and thought it was silly and went on Facebook to express his opinion...

How did we end up with deluded characters as so called leaders in Nigeria. That former Vice President Atiku would have Nigerians believe he bought a house for his mother as a minor/child is a clear indication that Nigeria's problem is beyond human understanding.)

According to LIB, the ministry’s board moved Joy Ajanaku and her children out of her husband’s Lagos home into a 3-bedroom flat in Abule Egba, Lagos after constant harassment from the prophet’s family, who are insisting that Joy is not legally married to their son.
Joy and Ireti Ajanaku lived together for 7 years before finally formalizing their union with a court wedding in 2010 but the family insist that the wedding never took place and want her removed as the man’s next of kin. Family members are now fighting over his assets said to be worth millions of Naira.
Despite having issue’s her late husband’s family, Joy Ajanaku is on great terms with members of the church her husband left behind. The ministry’s board agreed to install her as their new leader and said the late prophet anointed her as the chosen one before his death. They also said they have a wedding certificate to prove that she was truly married to their late spiritual leader. Joy and some members of the church are getting ready to take late Ajanaku’s family to court over his estate.
