From Punch
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.
A team from the United States assisted with the first operation
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

According to a story by Encomium magazine, Bishop David Oyedepo, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Dr. Mike Adenuga are among the top 10 Nigerian billionaires who will pay hundreds of mill ions of naira annually as luxury tax due to the imposition of a whooping $4,000 luxury tax by Aviation Ministry on private jet owners and operators per departure.

Some of these super rich Nigerians make use of their jets 3/4 times in a week either within or outside Nigeria and for every trip, it's a cool $4, 000 tax. Continue...
Our Aviation minister Mrs Stella Oduah thinks that plane mishaps are an act of God. While fielding questions from state house correspondents on the recent Lagos air crash, Mrs Odu ah said;
“We do not pray for accidents  but they are inevitable. But we will continue to do everything to ensure that we do not have accidents. But an accident is an act of God".

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State on Sunday granted amnesty to 15 convicts to mark the 53rd Independence anniversary of Nigeria.
The beneficiaries of the governor’s gesture were serving terms in Awka, Onitsha and Enugu Prisons.
Five of them who were granted release came from Awka Prison. They are Tochukwu Anene, Okoye Agbata, Titus Iloba and Onyeka Osuani.

Those who were released from Onitsha Prison are Chukwudum Ibeto, Nnaemeka Azubuenyi, Chinonso Ibeto, Ikechukwu Ohuoba and Okechukwu Ezeobi.
Others from same Onitsha prison who were also released are Ifeanyi Okongwu, Chigozie Eze, Chinedu Nweke and Ogbonna Uka.
Ikechukwu Nwafor had his life jail commuted to twenty-one years imprisonment from the date of his sentence, while Okwudili Okoye who was a condemned convict, will now serve a life jail term.

A Government House statement said the grant of amnesty was in compliance with the Constitution and in accordance with Section 3 of the Anambra State Advisory Council on Prerogativeof Mercy Law.

A close family friend of Feyi, son of late Chief Agagu, who is one of the survivors of the ill fated Associated Airlines flight, told Vanguard that he (Feyi) was initially reluctant to enter the plane after seeing how old it looked. (The exact plane pictured right). He and others survived basically by sitting at the back of the plane. Below is what a family insider Feyi spoke to said;
“The young man said that once they got to the tarmac before boarding and once he sighted the plane, what struck him was the seemingly very old look of the plane. Feyi said he didn’t like the looks of the plane. He also said but for the importance and significance of the trip, his inner sense didn’t feel comfortable boarding the plane.

Not only was the casket carrying Agagu's corpse intact after the plane crashed on Thursday morning, people who opened the casket shortly after the crash said the cap on his head stayed intact and his body wasn't ruffled. These discoveries have baffled so many, with some insinuating it's juju. But the reason is really simple. The casket was latched to the hooks in the cargo compartment of the plane and was placed in the rear end of the plane. People who sat at the back of the plane survived the crash, so the casket, which was kept at the back also survived the crash.

Meanwhile during his burial on Friday, his widow Funke Agagu insisted on seeing the body before he is buried. She was photographed praying for the body before he was lowered into his grave. See the photo after the cut *viewer discretion advised*


Akeem worked for M.I.C and was one of the fatalities of the Associated Airlines plane that killed 13 people on Thursday. He actually posted this message a few hours before he died in the crash.

The deportation of Igbos to Anambra state by the Lagos State Government a few months back was what sparked off all the Igbo/Yoruba bashing that happened online recently, most popu lar was the piece written by controversial former minister Femi Fani Kayode, which led to him being 'sued' by one prominent Igbo lady..:-). So anyway, yesterday governor Fashola apologized to the igbos for the incident...and FFK doesn't think he should have apologize. Read what he wrote below...

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.

Declan Ihekaire, the leader of the rally, explained the students resorted to this symbolism to blame and warn the two major political parties in the country over their roles in thenation’s tertiary education impasse.

Yep, these two maybe going to court because Bianca Ojukwu has rejected Femi Fani Kayode's non- apology. Femi issued a statement last week withdrawing his earlier claims that they had an 'intimate relationship' in the past but Bianca's lawyers said the retraction was not sufficient and satisfactory and have decided to go to court. Femi Fani Kayode this morning responded to Bianca's lawsuit threat, insisting that he didn't lie and threatened to reveal details of his 'relationship with her.

Like Bianca, he has also issued a statement threatening to sue. Read Mrs Ojukwu's statement below, issued via her personal assistant, and find FFK's response after the cut...
