Melaye, Bello’s aide disagree over attack on Senator.

The Senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has accused Governor Yahaya Bello of masterminding the attack on him by suspected thugs during the Kabba Day celebration at the weekend. In a statement yesterday in Lokoja by his Special Assistant on Media, the lawmaker alleged that he was attacked by men sponsored by the state government. He claimed: “Two out of the Ebira boys that attacked him in Kabba on Saturday were sent by the state government. They were arrested by the police but later got bail following the intervention of the state apparatus.” In a swift reaction, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mrs. Petra Akinti Onyegbule in a statement, said her principal was committed to security of lives and property. She said her boss avoided the event to avert chaos. “The alleged attack on Dino Melaye by some aggrieved Kogi West youths would have been worsened if the governor was present at the event. “As the chief security off...

Yemen hostage crisis claimed by IS ends with 35 dead.

Yemeni forces ended a hostage crisis Monday with 29 police and six civilians dead, a day after the attack claimed by the Islamic State group began with suicide bombings, official sources said. Assailants on Sunday stormed the criminal investigations unit in Aden, the Yemeni government’s de facto capital, setting it alight and taking hostages after killing two policewomen execution-style. The attack began on Sunday, when two suicide bombers blew themselves up at the entrances to the criminal investigations unit and the city’s security headquarters. Overnight, the security forces tried three times to seize back the unit, but each time a suicide bomber blew himself up, stopping them from entering, a security official said. A fourth suicide bombing occurred on Monday morning, before the security forces finally brought an end to the standoff in the southern port city. A total of 29 members of the security forces were killed during the attack and hostage crisis, th...

North Korean suspects named in Kim Jong-Nam murder trial.

Four men suspected of plotting with two women to murder the North Korean leader’s half-brother were Monday named by police as North Koreans who fled Malaysia after the assassination. They were identified at the trial of Indonesian Siti Aisyah and Vietnamese Doan Thi Huong, the women accused of killing Kim Jong-Nam on February 13 with nerve agent VX at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in a hit that stunned the world. The pair, who were arrested days after the assassination and face death by hanging if convicted, pleaded not guilty to murdering the estranged half-brother of Kim Jong-Un when the trial began on October 2. They say they were tricked into believing they were taking part in a prank for a reality TV show and their lawyers have blamed North Korean agents. The charge sheet says four other individuals still at large are suspected of murdering Kim along with the women, but does not identify them. On Monday Wan Azirul Nizam Che Wan Aziz, the main invest...

$3b down the drain, oil in north remains elusive.

Stakeholders allege hidden agenda, NNPC, others disagree Stakeholders remain divided about the wisdom in the continued search for hydrocarbon resources in the north, especially as $3 billion has already been sunk without making a commercial find. While those in favour of the search disregard the economic waste, but are encouraged by the success of oil finds in neighbouring countries like Niger, Chad and others, geologists who are mindful of the soil composition of hydrocarbon reserves, think it’s an effort in futility. The experts noted that nature has blessed each region of Nigeria with peculiar resources, and while the south is enriched with hydrocarbons, the north is blessed with solid minerals, thus, solid minerals and hydrocarbons cannot coexist. Industry experts, who spoke with The Guardian, said the persistent push by some northern leaders, including President Muhammadu Buhari, points to an underlining reason far beyond the quest, which is far from being of ec...
