<b>Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on Friday kicked off campaigns for the forthcoming gubernatorial election with an assurance of aggressive even distribution of wealth and capital projects that would engender the urbanisation of the rural areas across the state.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A 33-year-old man in Rakama village in Ningi Local Government area of Bauchi State, Ahmadu Saidu, has been arrested by police operatives from the Sate Police Command for contracting 30-year-old Umar Sanda Ali and another accomplice who is now at large, to kill his biological father, Sa'idu Lawwali, on the excuse that the deceased was a thief and was bringing shame to the family with his criminal activities.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The culprits, according to the police, did not only murder the 60-year-old Lawwali but they also burnt his corpse and buried him in a shallow grave in the village before they were nabbed by the police, <b><a href="http://www.leadership.ng/">LEADERSHIP</a></b> reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While being paraded by the command, the unrepentant Saidu vehemently denied killing his father, claiming it was his accomplice, Umar, who committed the act.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to him, Umar came to their house in the village and slaughtered his father on the ground that he had been stealing people’s goats and cows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He, however, accepted that the deceased had been causing a lot of embarrassment to his family and that he and his sister had not been able to get anyone in the village to marry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I am not involved in the killing because I have never stolen in my life. My sister and I are not married because people call us children of a thief. No one has come to marry my sister and any woman I proposed to usually turned me down on the excuse that my father was a thief."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On his part, Ali swore his innocence:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I swear I don’t know anything about Ahmadu’s father’s death."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The police say the accused would be charged to court at the end of their investigations.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The family of an expectant woman is up in arms with an Indian medical doctor whose incompetence in carrying out a cesarean session operation on her led to her death as well as scarring the new baby. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pregnant woman, <b>Funkemi Hunpe</b>, according to the <b><a href="http://newtelegraphonline.com/doctor-accused-of-killing-mother-cutting-baby-during-caesarean/">New Telegraph</a></b>, died as a result of the alleged negligence by the Indian doctor, <b>Dr. M. B. Jayaram</b>, while being delivered of her baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She was said to be undergoing a cesarean operation at the hospital, <b>Prema Sai Hospital</b>, Agege, Lagos State, when she gave up the ghost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her distraught husband, <b>Semako Hunpe</b>, said that the medical personnel at the hospital were responsible for the death of his wife as well as inflicting severe cuts on his baby, <b>Oluwasetemi Mary Hunpe</b>, while she was being delivered.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hunpe further alleged that after his wife died, the hospital called a pastor to pray for her, hoping to resuscitate her. He is also angry that throughout his wife’s prolonged labour, the doctor did not bother to join the nurses in the labour room until it was too late.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sad widower has gone ahead to sue the doctor and the hospital to the tune of ₦500 million. In the suit filed by his lawyer at an Ikeja High Court, Hunpe alleges that the doctor’s professional misconduct led to his wife’s death.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hunpe averred that his wife consulted Jayaram on 17 February, 2014, for the purpose of ante-natal services. He narrated that when his wife began to notice pre-delivery signs on February 24, she went to the hospital and was, <i>''subsequently placed on admission and given injections, sequel to which she was ordered to engage in labour exercise for several hours without medical attention from available mid-wives and auxiliary nurses.''</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hunpe said that he was invited into the labour room after several hours of intense labour without adequate care and was asked to encourage his wife, ''to push out'', as she appeared exhausted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the labour room, the widower alleged he saw a nurse apply <i>'Aboniki' </i>a balm on his wife. The nurse was allegedly rubbing the deceased’s abdomen with the balm, while asking her to push.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"After this amateurish mechanism did not yield the desired result, they cut my wife three times to bring out the baby and placed it somewhere unattended to."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said that that there was no doctor present throughout the delivery. A nurse later went to call Jayaram, according to him. Hunpe said that his wife bled profusely to death owing to the unprofessional cuts she received. The widower alleged that Jayaram told him around 6:45pm on February 26, 2014, to call his pastor, as she did not think that his wife could survive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He explained that he was later informed that his wife was dead. The hospital allegedly called a pastor to pray for the resurrection of the deceased. But the woman did not resurrect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the hospital's counsel, <b>John Adanike</b>, has denied the charges of unprofessional misconduct, saying the doctor performed her professional duty in the best manner throughout the time the deceased stayed in the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Our client denies being negligent in any manner or being guilty of any professional misconduct.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Consequently, our client denies liability to pay damages in the sum of ₦500 million or any sum at all. No doctor would willingly allow the death of his patient. He would work with all his professional knowledge to save life.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"But if by any circumstance death occurs, the doctor or the hospital should not be held to ransom. People die every day."</i></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>If I can accept that the Paris murderers aren’t real Muslims why won’t the MUSLIM world say so too? </b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is war.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s not pussy-foot around the terminology here when it comes to analyzing the sickening events in Paris over the last 48 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it’s not a religious war, as the cowardly, murderous thugs carrying out these atrocities would have us believe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>These terrorists are not ‘real’ Muslims</b>. <b>In fact, they slaughter Muslims as much if not more than they slaughter everyone else.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of their two police officer victims in the attack on <b>Charlie Hebdo</b>’s offices was a Muslim.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the same day, Al Qaeda car-bombed a police college in Yemen - killing over 40 people, all believed to be Muslims, many of them students.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And lest we forget, several dozen innocent Muslims died in the twin towers on 9/11 including a pregnant woman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So forget all the garbage about these lunatics representing Muslims. They don’t.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They represent a small faction of fanatical extremists who have hijacked Islam to justify their nefarious trade in terror, and grotesquely and deliberately distorted the meaning of the Qur'an for the same purpose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They can chant ‘God is great’ all they like, but their currency is death and destruction not genuine religious ideology.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And their excuse for all this mayhem is predicated entirely on a pack of lies; <b>the Prophet Mohammad never advocated killing people who blasphemed him. Nor does the Qur'an tell anyone to do that, or even mention blasphemy</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As my former CNN colleague Fareed Zakaria pointed out today, draconian punishment for blasphemy, including in many cases death, has been created in law by Muslim nations intent on suppressing their people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So when these barbaric assassins scream that they are ‘avenging the Prophet’, they’re doing nothing of the sort. They’re just using him as an excuse to commit murder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s a sickening deceit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But they don’t give a damn what I, or most of the West, think about them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All they care about is spewing their hateful rhetoric and violence as chaotically as possible, preying on the impressionable vulnerability of many disenfranchised young Muslims who live, for the main, in poverty and hopelessness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is not going to be an easy war to win.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Terror groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda are a hideously difficult enemy to combat because they exist in so many varied and amorphous guises around the world, some large in number, some tiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nobody really knows how many there are, or where they reside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But they’re increasing in number and as we’ve seen, they’ve growing more audacious in their attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beheading hostages and gunning down cartoonists may seem particularly horrific to us, but to them – many of who have fought on the brutal battlefields of Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan - it’s just another day at the office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They’re going to keep on committing these outrages, and the scale of them is going to get bigger.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s going to be the new normal. They’re going to attack us in our restaurants, churches, shopping malls and modes of transport.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s going to severely test our collective resolve, and we’re all going to have to face up to it with the same defiant stoicism that Britain showed when Hitler or the IRA tried to bomb us into submission, and which New Yorkers displayed after 9/11.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As to what can be done to curb this threat, the West’s traditional response of invading and bombing the countries that harbor them - along with our arrogant attempts to force our brand of <b>'freedom and democracy'</b> down their unwilling throats - has been a spectacularly self-defeating failure that has simply served to dramatically increase support for the terrorists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every Drone strike that strays and kills innocent civilians in the Middle East acts as a perfect recruiting agent for hundreds, if not thousands more vengeful members of Islamic State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every day that Guantanamo Bay stays open, keeping people prisoner without charge or trial for years on end, is used as a perfectly justifiable example of America acting as just the same repressive, inhumane, law-flouting regime that it professes to abhor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We need different thinking, smart leadership, effective military action where appropriate, and a firm coalition of global intelligence to thwart the attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But there is a limit to what the West can do on its own.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What’s really required right now is for the Muslim world to stand up, be counted and cry: ‘ENOUGH!’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to hear the leaders of predominantly Muslim countries, like Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, come out and condemn these murderous bastards, without equivocation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To denounce them as non-Muslims, to urge REAL Muslims - the vast majority who loathe these extremists as much as we do - to rise up against them, alienate and marginalize them, root them out of their society.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In short, I want real Muslims to reclaim their Islam faith and to make it crystal clear that these terrorists don’t act in their name, nor the name of the Prophet Mohammad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a journalist for 30 years, and someone whose wife was born and raised in Paris, I feel particularly incensed by what’s just happened in that wonderful city to so many fellow journalists and Parisians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m no great advocate for the kind of savage satirical stuff Charlie Hebdo used to pump out. Some of it was funny, some plain nasty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But they were a non-discriminatory offender, everyone copped it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My own faith's leader, the Pope, was lampooned far more regularly and wickedly than the Prophet Mohammad ever was.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yet I didn't see Roman Catholics storming to Paris to kill everyone involved in mocking him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why should one religion be afforded special rights to being offended?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the end, it comes down to this: killing someone for drawing an offensive cartoon is infinitely more offensive than any cartoon could possibly be.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And if you don't agree with that premise, then you are as deluded as those who inflict the terror - and should have these words tattooed on your forehead: <i><b>JE SUIS STUPIDE</b></i>. </div>

<b>Commercial sex workers plying their trades in Abuja and surrounding environs like Nasarawa and Niger States have decided to come together and form an association to press for the legalisation of their profession so as to resist any form of harassment for authorities and individuals.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The leader of the body which goes by the name <b>Commercial Sex Workers Association of Nigeria</b>, CSWAN, who calls herself <b>Lady Gaga</b>, says the formation of the association is for the prostitutes to come together and fight for the rights to carry out their trade and that they are prepared to do anything within the ambit of the law to protect their means of livelihood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Why will people leave their problems and focus on other people who are struggling for survival? If we chose to use what we have to get what we want, is it anybody’s business?"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to her, the association will liaise with relevant organisations to provide insurance and health scheme for all registered members.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She also added that the group will provide the means for members who might want to acquire additional skills, as well as guide them and ensure that all forms of stigmatization and ill treatment against their profession were eliminated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lady Gaga is of the view that sex work is like any other profession that people go into to eke a living and wondered why people would chose to look at sex workers as those engaging in illegal thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lady Gaga further said that prostitutes in the Federal Capital Territory were operating without any form of harassment until the emergence of Nasir el-Rufai, the former Minister of the FCT who demolished most of the suburbs and also placed unnecessary restrictions on them.</div>

<b>Hundreds of bodies - too many to count - remain strewn in the bush in Nigeria from an Islamic extremist attack that Amnesty International suggested Friday is the “deadliest massacre” in the history of Boko Haram.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mike Omeri, the government spokesman on the insurgency, said fighting continued Friday for Baga, a town on the border with Chad where insurgents seized a key military base on January 3 and attacked again on Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Security forces have responded rapidly, and have deployed significant military assets and conducted air strikes against militant targets,” Omeri said in a statement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
District head Baba Abba Hassan said most victims are children, women and elderly people who could not run fast enough when insurgents drove into Baga, firing rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles on town residents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The human carnage perpetrated by Boko Haram terrorists in Baga was enormous,” Muhammad Abba Gava, a spokesman for poorly armed civilians in a defence group that fights Boko Haram, told <b>The Associated Press</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the civilian fighters gave up on trying to count all the bodies. “No one could attend to the corpses and even the seriously injured ones who may have died by now,” Gava said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An <b>Amnesty International</b> statement said there are reports the town was razed and as many as 2,000 people killed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If true, “this marks a disturbing and bloody escalation of Boko Haram’s ongoing onslaught,” said Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty International.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Washington, U.S. State Department Spokesman Jen Psaki condemned the attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“We urge Nigeria and its neighbours to take all possible steps to address the urgent threat of Boko Haram. Even in the face of these horrifying attacks, terrorist organisations like Boko Haram must not distract Nigeria from carrying out credible and peaceful elections that reflect the will of the Nigerian people,”</i> Psaki said in a statement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The previous bloodiest day in the uprising involved soldiers gunning down unarmed detainees freed in a March 14, 2014, attack on Giwa military barracks in Maiduguri city. Amnesty said then that satellite imagery indicated more than 600 people were killed that day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 5-year insurgency killed more than 10,000 people last year alone, according to the Washington-based <b>Council on Foreign Relations</b>. More than a million people are displaced inside Nigeria and hundreds of thousands have fled across its borders into Chad, Cameroon and Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Emergency workers said this week they are having a hard time coping with scores of children separated from their parents in the chaos of Boko Haram’s increasingly frequent and deadly attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just seven children have been reunited with parents in Yola, capital of Adamawa state, where about 140 others have no idea if their families are alive or dead, said Sa’ad Bello, the co-ordinator of five refugee camps in Yola.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he was optimistic that more reunions will come as residents return to towns that the military has retaken from extremists in recent weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suleiman Dauda, 12, said he ran into the bushes with neighbours when extremists attacked his village, Askira Uba, near Yola last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I saw them kill my father, they slaughtered him like a ram. And up until now I don’t know where my mother is,” he told The Associated Press at Daware refugee camp in Yola.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
