<b>Seventy years after South Carolina executed a 14-year-old boy so small he sat on a phone book in the electric chair, a circuit court judge threw out his murder conviction.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Wednesday morning, Judge Carmen Mullins vacated the decision against George Stinney Jr., a black teen who was convicted of beating two young white girls to death in the small town of Alcolu in 1944.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Civil rights advocates have spent years trying to get the case reopened, arguing that Stinney's confession was coerced. At the time of his arrest, Stinney weighed just 95 pounds. Officials said Stinney had admitted beating the girls, 11 and 8 years old, with a railroad spike.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a 2009 affidavit, Stinney's sister said she had been with him on the day of the murders and he could not have committed them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stinney was put on trial and then executed within three months of the killings. His trial lasted three hours, and a jury of 12 white men took 10 minutes to find him guilty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He is often cited as the youngest person executed in the U.S. in the 20th century. At the time of the crime, 14 was the legal age of criminal responsibility in the state.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, has given reasons why he picked Yemi Osibajo as his running mate as he bids again become Nigeria’s president.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While presenting Mr. Osibajo to the media at the national secretariat of the APC in Abuja, Mr. Buhari said his running mate was chosen because of his impeccable integrity and excellent background.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“He is an excellent professional, a man of faith, a devoted family man and a role model to our fellow countrymen and women,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also said Mr. Osibajo is a professor of law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, adding also that he is an alumnus of the University of Lagos and the London School of Economics, a prodigious author who has to his credit several books on civil procedure in Nigerian superior courts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The vice-presidential candidate is a friend of the less-privileged, compassionate and zealous in service, a man of uncommon humility, a loyal, dependable and selfless patriot,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Buhari also stated that with his choice of deputy, the real task rescuing Nigeria and changing the country for good has just begun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He promised to fulfil all the promises he made after his emergence as APC flag bearer and thanked all those who supported him in the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The huge outpouring of support and acceptance has been a great encouragement to me and hardened my resolve to lead the process of rebuilding a new Nigeria and securing our future,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a brief remark after his introduction, Mr. Osibajo said he has accepted his nomination gladly and happily and thanked all concerned and stated that his selection as a vice presidential candidate by Mr. Buhari and the APC is a great honour.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“There can be no other president, leader and commander that can lead that common sense revolution which Nigeria urgently needs than Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. I will proudly serve this country with him,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also speaking earlier, the national chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, who formally presented Mr. Buhari before the media as the candidate of the APC, also said with a full team on ground, the party is ready to kick start its campaign.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A 27-year-old woman, Lucy Gbagyo, has died after jumping from a speeding commercial bus in the Shogunle area of Lagos State.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>PUNCH Metro</i> learnt that the Benue State indigene was on her way to see her fiance, Philip Nguhwa, on Sunday evening for preparations for their wedding when the incident happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our correspondent gathered that Gbagyo and Nguhwa were to have their wedding on February 27, 2015, having courted for four years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was learnt that on the fateful day, the deceased had boarded a vehicle from the Toll Gate end of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway en route to Ilori Street in the Shogunle area where Nguhwa lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bus driver was said to have sped past her destination and she began to shout for him to stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The driver allegedly ignored her and continued with the journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When her cries fell on deaf ears, she reportedly forced the door open and jumped out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her fiance, Nguhwa, a trader, said the driver immediately stopped the vehicle as other passengers and sympathisers in the area rushed to save the victim.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, “One of them picked her phone and checked the last dialled number. He saw my number and called me. He said I should rush down to the bus stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“When I got there, I called her name and she opened her eyes faintly and shut them again. We all carried her into the bus and rushed her to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We had not gone too far when she died in the vehicle. When we got to the hospital, she was confirmed dead on arrival.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>PUNCH Metro</i> learnt that the victim, who was into the business of buying clothes in Lagos and selling them in Benue, had lost her father in a motor accident in January.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our correspondent learnt that the police arrested both the driver and the conductor of the vehicle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But a relative, Felix Agu, told our correspondent the family was not interested in pursuing the case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Agu said, “We have written a letter to withdraw the matter. All we want is for her corpse to be released to us for burial. The family stays in Benue and everybody wants her buried in her home town.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, said he would get back to our correspondent on the matter but had yet to do so as of press time.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has ‘congratulated’ the Governor of the State, Rotimi Chubuike Amaechi for losing his bid to grab the Vice Presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The PDP said it was excited that Amaechi had been confirmed as a serial loser who lacked the capacity to win any competitive contest and could only excel in incivility and loose tongues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jerry Needam, Special Adviser, on Media to State PDP Chairman, Felix Obuah, in a statement Wednesday stated that most disturbing is the billions of tax payers’ money the outgoing Governor spent on lobbying for the APC VP ticket at the expense of infrastructural development, provision of portable drinking water in the State and payment of salaries and allowances of civil servants and pensioners.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It alleged that “the outgoing Governor Rotimi Amaechi plans to empty the State treasury and also debit the upcoming Government with huge debts that will take the life span of his successor administration to upset.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“One of such plans, the PDP can authoritatively reveal is the recent directive by Governor Amaechi to the Chairmen of the 23 Local Government Areas, whose tenure in office has elapsed to access bank loans to the tune of Two Hundred Million Naira (₦200 million).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The loan, the Party reliably gathered, would be used to fund this year’s cultural Festival, here referred to as ‘CANIRIV’ and as Christmas package and freebies for members of the All Progressives Congress in the various LGAs and fund APC campaigns.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The PDP condemns in its entirety what it describes as criminal and unpatriotic of Governor Amaechi and all those aiding him to commit such financial fraud on Rivers People.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“In addition, the party says the outgoing Governor has consistently squandered public funds on personal political ambition, sponsoring APC events and his failed Vice Presidential aspiration”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Continuing the party said, “It has also been established that the outgoing Rivers State Governor is today a leading financier of Gen Buhari’s Presidential campaign, as billions of Rivers money were used in organising Buhari’s campaign tours and travels as well as major events of the APC in and outside the State, including the protest march in Abuja and the National Convention in Lagos</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Considering the economic and social implications these reckless and fraudulent financial activities of Governor Amaechi portend on the State and people after the life of this administration, the PDP believes it is time to act rather than remaining mute over an avoidable calamitous situation in the State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is in the light of this that the PDP urges all anti-graft agencies to urgently save Rivers State and the people from impending collapse in 2015, after Governor Amaechi has left office.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PDP also warned all financial bodies, including Banks and other lending institutions, not to honour any further applications for loans or borrowing arrangement by the Rivers State government under Governor Amaechi or any of its agencies, as such financial transactions will not be respected by the incoming Government in the State.</div>

<b>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday urged Nigerians to support it and its presidential candidates in the 2015 elections, saying the party would build a better tomorrow for them.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is contained in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Olisa Metuh, in Abuja.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“In PDP, the focus remains to ensure that we continue to deliver on our promises and put the interests of Nigerians first in all our party decisions and policies of our government,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the choice of Prof. Yemi Osibajo as running mate to All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, Metuh said that it was a confirmation that the party was a "personal project".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He expressed concern that if power shifted to APC, it would be controlled by the owner of the "project", adding that the country would be in a problem because the owner of the party was desperate to control political and economic power.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He alleged that a "cabal" in APC chose the running mate for Buhari and wondered why the retired general allowed such to happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Metuh cautioned that any political party that subjected its collective will to the whims of an individual was indeed not ready for leadership. (NAN)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">By Ben Ezeamalu, Premium Times</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has said that he turned down an invitation to be the party’s vice presidential candidate in order to maintain his position as the leader of the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement Wednesday, Mr. Tinubu said that as a leader, he would be able to act as a bridge builder across all divides as well as further the party’s interests and campaign ahead of next year’s elections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I helped to build this party, giving no thought to seeking an elected office because of it,” said Mr. Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“My contribution to the party was never based on the expectation of a later political handout. Nigeria is in trouble and we are well past the moment for such narrow, selfish games.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“There came a time during the course of the events when our Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari offered the Vice Presidential slot to me. Being a normal human being, I was deeply moved and honoured that he would consider me for the position. Being a patriot, I had to weigh my potential candidacy in all of its dimensions.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After days of politicking and negotiations, the APC finally announced Yemi Osibajo as Mr. Buhari’s running mate on Wednesday, just hours before INEC’s deadline on parties’ submission of list of candidates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Osinbajo, 55, a professor of law and pastor at The Redeemed Christian Church of God, is a loyalist to Mr. Tinubu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Tuesday, Mr. Tinubu had accused President Goodluck Jonathan of scheming to block his bid for the APC’s running mate position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The “smear campaign” by the president and the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, had been in the works for years, according to Mr. Tinubu, upon a realization that he commands a “powerful political followership.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The choice of Mr. Tinubu as a potential running mate to Mr. Buhari was unacceptable to some of the APC members who were opposed to the party fielding a Muslim-Muslim ticket.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Tinubu accused the PDP of stoking the fear of a Muslim-Muslim ticket within the APC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“When my name was raised, the political hatchet men tried to chop it down with rumor and lies,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Over the years, I have developed a thick skin. The personal attacks did not bother me. I am used to them. While I have a thick skin, I don’t have a thick mind. There has been one form of attack that has troubled me. That is the attack based on religion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I have removed myself from consideration so what I now say cannot be seen as self-serving. I plead with the people of this nation to never allow the power lust of cynical politicians to set brother against brother, neighbour against neighbour. If you look at those politicians who raise this issue the most, they are the least devout and faithful to any religion other their self-interests.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Tinubu also said that the nation has too many problems – insecurity, economic collapse, poverty, corruption and mis-governance – to allow inept people use religion as a tool to continue the years of misrule.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Those who exploit religion should be wary. For there really is a God and he does not like it when you play with his people or use His name to do the opposite of what He intends,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I ask the people to remove religion from the electoral equation now that the tickets of both parties are mixed. I ask you to select the ticket best able to end the downward slide that Nigeria has endured since this government took over. I ask you to remember that too many Christians and Muslims are poor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Most of all, I ask you to remember that the true religion of the PDP is poverty, APC came to bring prosperity to the people. Please vote for that.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Tinubu described members of the PDP as “jackals in sheep’s clothing” who are ready to toss the nation’s future asunder in order to continue reaping the rewards of their “selfish” ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Nigeria I see is a nation that shall overcome. The Nigeria I see is a nation ready to sweep aside the broken ways of our recent past and the government and politicians who impose distress upon us,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Nigeria I see and seek is one where each person, every man, woman and child may live free of terrorism, free of the despair of poverty and free of the fear that the government meant to serve and protect them has turned its back to them in cold and utter indifference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I see and seek a Nigeria where progressive democratic governance creates the political and economic space needed for each of us to contribute to rescuing and retooling this nation. And, in the process of this benign endeavour, may each and every one of us share in the sound promise and good prosperity that shall describe the architecture of our national revival.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former governor further said that he would never place political ambition over patriotic conviction, adding that there is no room for emotion to becloud sense of judgement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This is a time for cohesion and an overriding sense of mission. We must defeat the foe before us and resist all temptations intended to entice us to fight among ourselves,” Mr. Tinubu said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I sincerely commit myself to the rescue agenda of General Buhari and Professor Osibajo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I declare to you, I will work and dedicate myself so that our ticket succeeds and wins the 2015 election – not for his good, not for my good, not even for the party’s good but for the good of the nation we inhabit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Some may call what I have done a sacrifice. I call it otherwise. It is my patriotic contribution and duty. I do so with a happy and uplifted heart and clear conscience because I have committed myself to seeking the best for this nation before seeking what is good for myself.”</div>

<b>According to <i>Premium Times</i>, the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi has been issued a death threat by Boko Haram sect leader, Shekau. This was done in retaliation for the Emir’s call on Kano residents and other Nigerians to arm and defend themselves against the dreaded sect.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a video made available to <b>Premium Times</b>, Mr Shekau said his group does not consider Mr. Sanusi a true Muslim, and will attack him whenever an opportunity presents itself. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fearless leader said, "Before I start talking to my brothers who believed in me and the religion of Allah not the religion of democracy, not that of western education, those who believed in the religion of the Quran not that of the constitution and not religion of the Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Atiku, Babangida, Obama, Bush, Clinton, but the religion of Allah.” </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A military court in Nigeria has sentenced 54 soldiers to death after they were found guilty of mutiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The soldiers were convicted Wednesday in Abuja on a two-count charge of criminal conspiracy to commit mutiny and mutiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Four other soldiers were acquitted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The convicted soldiers, mostly officers involved in the fight against the Boko Haram terrorists in Northeast Nigeria, are to die on stakes, by firing squad, after a military court sitting in Abuja found them guilty of “mutiny” Wednesday night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The soldiers, attached to the 7 Division, Nigerian Army in Maiduguri include two Corporals, Cpl, nine Lance Corporals, LCpl and 49 Private soldiers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The charge sheet said the soldiers conspired to commit mutiny against the authorities of the 7 Division on August 4, at the Mulai Primary School camp, opposite AIT Maiduguri, Borno State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The soldiers are the second batch of Nigerian soldiers condemned to death by Nigerian Military courts for mutiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The trial of the soldiers began on October 15 on allegations they disobeyed orders to join operations against the extremist group, Boko Haram.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All the accused soldiers pleaded not guilty to the charges.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The prosecutor, J.E. Nwosu, an army Captain, alleged that the accused soldiers had on August 4, in Maiduguri, refused to join the 111 Special Forces Battalion troops, commanded by Timothy Opurum, a Lieutenant Colonel for an operation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Nwosu said the operation was meant to recapture Delwa, Bulabulin and Damboa in Borno State from the Boko Haram terrorists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to him, the offence is punishable under Section 52(1) (a) of the Armed Forces Act Cap A20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The prosecution called the commander of the 111 Special Forces, Lt.-Col. Opurum, as one of the witnesses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement of the commander was admitted by the court and marked Exhibit P1.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Opurum, in his testimony in October, said the Special Forces were tasked with advancing to recapture Delwa to clear the way for other battalions to pass through to recapture Babulin and Damboa from the insurgents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he took off for the operation with only four officers and 29 soldiers as “tasked” after majority of the 174 soldiers in the unit refused to join the operation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The witness said after he took charge of the Special Forces, he addressed and assured them that they could achieve the task given to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He, however, said the soldiers were “hesitant to partake in the operation” in spite of the assurances.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Under cross examination by Femi Falana, who represented the accused soldiers, Mr. Opurum said 47 of the soldiers who initially refused, later re-joined the forces for another operation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Opurum said the 47 soldiers joined, after he called for reinforcement, as they came under attack from terrorists, who out-numbered them and had superior weapons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Asked if the soldiers refused to fight or refused to join the operation because of lack of superior weapons, he said all units in the North-East had requested for weapons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the disciplinary measure taken against the 47 soldiers, who initially refused, he said the process for that was to begin when they were court-martialled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Falana in an oral application asked to the court for the record of weapons recovered from the 47 soldiers, when they initially refused to join the operations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The President of the Court, Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Yusuf, said the application had been noted “for action".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The General Court Martial was inaugurated on October 2 to try 97 soldiers, including 15 senior officers for mutiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the kind of news that gladdens the heart. It is a sign that there is still hope of a better Nigeria. Hope of a Nigeria that will be the pride of all is citizens. This story was reported by <i>the Punch</i> thus:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Deputy Governor of Osun State, Titi Laoye-Tomori, was among dignitaries who watched in admiration as a drone built by a corps member posted to Osun took off and carried out surveillance of the parade ground at the Permanent Orientation Camp of the National Youth Service Corps on Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The corps member, Olaolu Ayoola, a graduate of Computer Science/Engineering of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, stole the show with his project during the closing ceremony of the orientation course for the 2014 Batch ‘C’ of corps members deployed in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The drone, which soldiers and other security agents present at the event described as a good one, flew for about 10 minutes before it landed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The wonderful drone, fixed with a surveillance camera, can stay in the air for 20 minutes and is capable of climbing up to 500 metres…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The device with remote control and 2.4G radio transmitter carried out live recording of the event, which he monitored on his BlackBerry phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ayoola said in an interview that his love for aeronautics drove him into building the device.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to him, apart from military use, the drone is also useful in hoisting flags as well as monitoring ongoing activities in large farms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Thierry Henry has announced his retirement from football and will return to London to take up a role in the media.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 37-year-old former Arsenal striker left the New York Red Bulls at the start of the month after they were knocked out of the MLS play-offs, but there was speculation he might choose to play on at another club – with a return to the Gunners mooted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the former France international and FIFA World Cup™-winner has instead called time on a trophy-laden career which included spells with Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona and the Red Bulls.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement released to Press Association Sport, Henry said, “After 20 years in the game I have decided to retire from professional football. It has been an incredible journey and I would like to thank all the fans, team mates and individuals involved with AS Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal FC, FC Barcelona, the New York Red Bulls and of course the French National Team that have made my time in the game so special.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is now time for a different career path and I am pleased to say that I will be returning to London and joining Sky Sports. I will hopefully share some of the insights, observations and experiences I have learnt over the years with you guys.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I have had some amazing memories (mostly good!) and a wonderful experience. I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part. See you on the other side…”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Goal-laden Career</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Henry will always be most closely associated with Arsenal, where he is the all-time goalscorer with 228 goals in 377 games across two different spells.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arsene Wenger, who had known him as a young player at Monaco, signed him from Juventus for £11million in 1999, and immediately shifted him from the wing to a central striking position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His blend of pace and power made him one of the most feared forwards in English football, and Henry won the Premier League title twice with the Gunners, as well as the FA Cup three times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Henry left Arsenal in 2007 and joined Barcelona, where he won the UEFA Champions League in 2009. He also added two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, Spanish Supercopa, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup to his honours list in three seasons at the Nou Camp.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His medal collection also includes a Ligue 1 title and Trophee des Champions with Monaco, his first professional club.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He spent the final five years of his playing career with the Red Bulls, returning to Arsenal to make four appearances on loan in early 2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With France, Henry scored 51 goals in 123 appearances – only Lilian Thuram has more caps with Les Bleus. He was a member of the 1998 World Cup winning squad, while also being a runner up in 2006. Henry was a European champion in 2000 and was part of the team that won the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2003.</div>

The police have arrested other six cops at the scene of <a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/policeman-brutalizes-man-wife-in-lagos.html"><b>the torture of a couple</b></a> in the Lekki area of Lagos State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A police source told <i>PUNCH Metro</i> on Tuesday that the policemen were being detained at the state police headquarters in Ikeja to explain their role in the incident.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our correspondent had reported how Ejeh Smith and his wife, Grace, were allegedly tortured by a police corporal, Dada Ogunsanya, in the Lekki area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They were going home in a cab when the incident happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ogunsanya was alleged to have hit Ejeh with his rifle and stepped on the stomach of his wife, while the other policemen looked on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A passerby, who saw the attack, was said to have insisted that the attention of the police DPO be called to the incident.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The DPO, Aisha Haruna, on arrival at the scene, allegedly backed Ogunsanya’s action and deleted Grace’s recordings of the attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following <i>PUNCH Metro</i>’s report of the incident, which drew the ire of Nigerians, the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/police-chief-orders-probe-into-attack.html">ordered “a full-scale investigation” into the case</a></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abba, in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, said the police would not spare any cop found culpable in the course of investigations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our correspondent was told that the police had detained all the policemen involved in the incident pending the conduct of an orderly room trial.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The source said, “The police have arrested all the policemen on duty that night and they are currently being detained at the police headquarters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The DPO is also being interrogated to know the extent of her involvement.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was learnt the police wanted to conduct the orderly room trial for Ogunsanya on Tuesday, but postponed it for reasons our correspondent could not ascertain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking on the development, Ejeh, said, “I met with the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti, and he said they have arrested all the seven policemen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The CP said they are conducting investigations to know if the policeman is guilty or not, and he assured me that the law will take its course.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I just want justice to be done and I want to thank all Nigerians who have been supporting us since this started, especially the media.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This case has cost me my convenience and time, but it is good if I can get justice.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said his health condition and that of his wife had improved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, had yet to get back to our correspondent on the development as of the time of filing this report.</div>

<b>A former presidential candidate of the National Conscience Party, Chief Dele Momodu, has said that Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State deserves to be the running mate of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Commenting on the candidature of a former Attorney-General of Lagos State, Prof. Yemi Osibajo, the Ovation Magazine publisher argued that the emergence of the academic would not “guarantee victory for the APC in 2015.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Momodu, who claimed to be a staunch supporter of Buhari’s presidential ambition, stated that his preference for the South-South over other geo-political zones to produce the next Vice President was to give the people a “sense of belonging and compensation for oil,” with a view to securing more votes from the region.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said Amaechi’s experience, as a two-term Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly and his seven-and-half-year tenure as the governor of the state, had singled him out as the most qualified from the region.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Normally the right to pick a vice-presidential candidate belongs to the principal (presidential candidate) and/or party, which may recommend names for one to be approved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Even in America, no one ever ignores state governors or members of the Congress in picking presidential or vice-presidential candidates! Both Yar’Adua and Jonathan were governors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Obasanjo picked Atiku as running mate when he was Governor of Adamawa! Governors are the most powerful blocks of any party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“My choice remains Amaechi because of his unmatched profile as two-term Speaker and two-term Governor of Rivers State plus his uncommon courage! He is a dogged fighter and the most experienced in both legislative and executive matters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“But I’m not a member of APC. An outsider can’t cry louder than the bereaved. APC is free to make its own decision. We will all live with its fallout,” Momodu wrote in a series of messages posted on Twitter on Tuesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ahead of the 2015 general election, the publisher urged the APC to learn from its past mistakes, adding that leading members of the opposition party needed to put aside selfish interests.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“APC should learn from its most recent history and avoid the pitfalls of the elections in Ondo and Ekiti States, which were as a result of too much bickering and ambition!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“All the ambitious politicians should note that the party must win first before being President, Vice President, Senate President or Speaker of the House of Representatives,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has picked Yemi Osibajo, former Attorney-General of Lagos State, as his running mate.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari will submit his nomination form to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on today, a day to the deadline, after nearly one week of negotiation and horse-trading on who should be his vice-presidential candidate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rotimi Amaechi, Governor of Rivers state, had made a spirited bid to be chosen, but met a brick wall with the zoning of the position to the south-west.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Tuesday night, intense politicking threatened to mar the spirit in the party, as Amaechi made a last-ditch effort but was told by the retired general that Bola Tinubu, national leader of APC, would be the one to recommend the running mate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amaechi had succeeded in getting the enlarged meeting of the party’s leadership to oppose a Muslim-Muslim ticket, which Tinubu’s nomination was going to produce, but he was unable to benefit from the new development.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At a meeting with Buhari on Tuesday, Amaechi, according to sources made a case for the south-south to be given the VP slot because of the likely backlash in the oil-producing region if President Goodluck Jonathan loses the election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also told Buhari that it would be impossible for the APC to campaign in the Niger Delta with neither No 1 nor No 2 on offer for the region.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Buhari reportedly told him that he had already agreed that the position should go to the south-west.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The governor invested heavily in Buhari’s campaign, paying for chartered flights, new vehicles and financing local and international media campaign to promote the candidacy of the former military head of state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Osibajo overcame last-minute challenge from other south-westerners such as former governors Kayode Fayemi, Niyi Adebayo and Olagunsoye Oyinlola.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a 29-year-old Chinese woman named Ting Su allegedly discovered that her husband was cheating on her with her twin sister, she tracked down the duo at a local shopping center after using one or both of their phones to pinpoint their whereabouts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once she arrived, she found the duo naked inside a parked car, which is not typically a situation you can explain your way out of.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the cheaters got out of the car (likely to try and explain things anyway) Ting got in and drove away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Onlookers captured the ensuing scene, which featured the duo stranded in the middle of a parking lot without any clothes on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m still not sure why they thought being totally nude in a parking lot was the best way to have their affair, but sometimes passion overrides reason. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>For daring to tell Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi the truth about his ambition to be All Progressives Congress running mate several months back, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has come under sponsored insidious media attacks and a gang up led by Rotimi and some governors within the party.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The architect of this gang up against Tinubu is Governor Amaechi, whose pleas for Tinubu’s backing did not succeed. In no uncertain terms, Tinubu had told Rotimi, who had bragged he had enough money to shoulder the financial responsibility for the APC presidential candidate in the general elections, that he would not receive his support.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reasons include that on a national level Rotimi’s name recognition and acceptance was below that of another South-South governor. He was also at a disadvantage in terms of electoral appeal to voters. Also his region already has the chairmanship of the party. Moreover, the South West was set to fill the slot of the Vice President after conceding the presidency to the North.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tinubu, a close source said advised Amaechi to tarry awhile and look for other options. From this point, Amaechi began to regard Tinubu as one of the people plotting against his political ascendency.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a private jet and loads of cash, Amaechi moved quickly first to get John Oyegun on his side and later assembled a few governors to demand at every meeting that the slot of the Vice President be given to one of the governors. Senator Saraki is one of Amaechi’s chair leaders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The gang up against Tinubu, Chief Bisi Akande and by some extension General Buhari became so powerful that it manifested itself at one of the meetings where one of the governors openly threatened that the governors will withhold financial support for the party unless their interest was accommodated. Oyegun the party chairman was rattled until Tinubu called their bluff and challenged the governors to provide evidence of how much they have invested in the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two other members spoke against the governors and said to tie their funding of the party to securing favors is not the way to build a party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to investigations, since the April national convention fall out, the governors had formed a block to checkmate Tinubu, Bisi Akande and General Buhari. Gov. Rochas Okorocha soon became a diehard critic of Tinubu and joined Amaechi in using the block to confront the former Lagos governor. The gang up failed. Tinubu prevailed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Governor Amaechi never gave up on his ambition. While working to sideline Tinubu, he found a way to ingratiate himself to Buhari whom he promised to fund his presidential campaign if he picks him as his running mate. He eventually got Buhari pick him as the Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organization for the primaries. Driven by ambition, an unrelenting Rotimi has continued to deploy money, propaganda and serial internal revolts against Tinubu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tinubu, a close aide said, has watched with amusement, insisting that the platform must be secured and the party will be properly guided. The senior aide to Tinubu also confided that his camp is shocked by how desperate Governor Amaechi has become and how he has singled out Tinubu has a target. Governor Okorocha and others conspired against Lagos hosting the presidential primaries because of the fear of Tinubu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shortly after the convention for the presidential primary, Rotimi swung into further action, sensing that the South West will get the running mate slot and Tinubu might be on the ticket with Buhari. The several salacious stories about Tinubu in the legacy and social media point in the direction of the Rotimi camp, though this us yet to be verified.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is playing out now is not just a revolt against Tinubu but one against the South West. The serial gang up began when they moved against Bisi Akande as chairman of APC. Then, the takeover of the planning of the national convention in Abuja. Then, the gang up against Lagos as a venue for the presidential primary and now the plot to take the vice presidential position away from the South West.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC today stands both at the cusp of victory and at the precipice of failure. The overriding ambition of the governors and itsintensity is nothing to compared to Tinubu’s ambition which in any case he has every legitimate right to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has chosen Professor Yemi Osinbajo as his running mate in the 2015 presidential election scheduled for February 14, 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Osinbajo’s nomination was concluded last night after APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, was asked to shelf his ambition that nearly tore the party apart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An early morning meeting between Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun and  Buhari  finally resolved the acrimonious logjam in the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Osinbajo beat other potential candidates that reportedly included Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, Governor Adams Oshiuomhole of Edo State, and former Lagos Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora.</div>
