<b>This will be devastating news to anyone who enjoys jerking the gherkin, choking the chicken, stroking the snake, spanking the monkey, yanking the chain, a little self-pleasure once in a while.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Muslim televangelist has reportedly claimed that men who masturbate will find their hands pregnant in the afterlife.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mucahid Cihad Han was answering questions on private television station <b>2000 TV</b> when a viewer said that he "kept masturbating even though he was married", reports the Turkish <a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/masturbating-men-will-find-their-hands-pregnant-in-the-afterlife-says-muslim-televangelist.aspx?pageID=238&nID=82936&NewsCatID=393">Hurriyet Daily News</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After repeating the question, Mr Han responded by saying masturbation is <i>haram</i> (forbidden) in Islam and the viewer should "resist Satan's temptations".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Moreover, one hadith states that those who have sexual intercourse with their hands will find their hands pregnant in the afterlife, complaining against them to God over its rights", Hurriyet quotes him as saying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"If our viewer was single, I could recommend he marry, but what can I say now?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr Han, who has 12,500 followers on Twitter, was mocked by some people on the social media site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Hurriyet, Muslim scholars and schools differ on whether masturbation is permissible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Now that you have heard, you should start counting how many children your hands will bear for you in the afterlife...lol.</b></div>

Dokubo's Threat Against Buhari Empty, Treasonable - Ex-militants

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The leader of Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF), Alhaji Asari Dokubo, was Monday berated  ‎over his utterances against the President-elect,  Muhammadu Buhari and the country in general.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The President of the National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators (NCNDE-A), 'General' Israel Akpodoro, expressed worry over the incessant attacks and vituperations from Dokubo on national issues saying, those threats issued by him were "empty, bear-footed and  treasonable".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Addressing a meeting of the Coalition in Ugheli, Delta State, Akpodoro contended that no section of the country has the power to hold others to ransom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dokubo at the commemoration of the late Adaka Boro, in Yenagoa reportedly said he was ready to‎ take on the federal government if the interest of the region was not favourably considered by the incoming All Progressives Congress (APC) led administration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Akpodoro told Dokubo to stop dragging the region into issues of personal interest stressing that the people of the Delta have decided to embrace peace and not war.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the time has come for the likes of Dokubo in the Delta region not only to embrace peace but to also realise that the era of impunity, gangsterism‎ and nepotism was over emphasizing that the ex-militants who supported the APC and his candidate, Buhari before, during and after the elections are not slaves as claimed by Dokubo but that what they did "was a show of unfettered patriotism, solidarity and love to a nation above self-serving and myopic interests".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The people of Niger Delta region, Akpodoro, said were already aware of the antics and mischief of those who use the region as a platform for self enrichment pointing out that such era would end with President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rather than continue to be on the opposition to the government, the President of the NCNDE-A urged the leaders of the people in the Delta region to go and preach peace in support of the incoming administration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He stressed that they stand to gain nothing from crisis but that peaceful approach to issue was an imperative for a better Delta region.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He admonished them to understand that there is a new dawn of equity and positive change around the corner and urged them to eschew crimes and criminality for the region to grow. ‎</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"When the struggle for a better Niger Delta began, it was genuine, focused, purposeful…only to be hijacked by people of narrow interests. We as a people have learnt our lessons and as such would not allow ourselves to be goaded into another round of crisis in our region.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"As peac‎e-loving people, the ex-militants have changed from the war-war approach to a much peaceful and decent approach to achieving results. We owe the Nigerian state our patriotism, solidarity, loyalty as long as the federal government gives us an unfettered sense of belonging in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Whoever engages in any crime under any guise should answer to his crimes without dragging the region along with him. The Delta region comprises of so many ethnic groupings and not only the Ijaws. It therefore follows that Dokubo should speak for those who believe in him amongst his people and not for the entire region", he stated.</div>

Ondo OPC 'Governor' Nabbed For Kidnapping His Boss

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Micheal Oladun, age 52, the leader of the ethnic militia group known as the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Ondo State chapter, has been arrested by police ‎for kidnapping. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Oladun, who claims to be the 'Governor' of the militia group in the State, was apprehended yesterday for allegedly kidnapping his former boss, identified as Tayo Alao. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SaharaReporters</i> correspondent reported that Tayo Alao was the former Governor of the OPC for Ondo State before he was sacked for embezzling funds. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Police Commissioner in the State, Isaac Eke, who paraded Oladun and two other OPC members - Rafiu Alao and Adesamoye David - in front of journalists in Akure, disclosed ‎that the suspects conspired to kidnap their former leader for ransom. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eke revealed that the trio tied-up one of their co-conspirators, Rafiu Alao, and forcefully made him to swear to an oath in a river that he would never report the incident to the police. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He added that the suspects were arrested after the police obtained information that some hoodlums have kidnapped their boss.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a confession, Micheal Oladun told SaharaReporters that his gang didn't actually kidnap their former boss, but that they were trying to threaten him to return their funds. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He detailed how the former OPC governor, Tayo Alao, embezzled funds allocated to him by the group, adding that this led to his immediate removal from the position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"As a result of the sit-tight syndrome, Mr. Alao decided not to leave the position despite relieving him of it. He still moves about calling himself the Governor of the group in the State. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"About ten thousand people from the group who were mostly from Ilaje and Ese Odo areas of the State gave him the sum of ₦10,000 each for the pipeline security form, to collect on our behalf but he squandered the fee. He didn't even remit the money to the group's account. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We also gave him ₦1,500 as an Identity Card (ID) fee‎, imagine, this is the same man that has nothing when he came to Ondo State, but now, he is riding in posh vehicles and has two wives. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We want him and demand for the return of our money which is almost ₦10 million but unfortunately he attacked us with his boys armed with charms, clubs, and we have to fight back. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He has a lot of fraud in his neck. Alao collected money from pipeline security, identity card fees, oath taking fees, and a Governor's signature fee from all of us but he embezzled all the money", he said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He, however, revealed how the founder of the OPC handpicked him as the new Governor of the group in Ondo State after Alao was asked to leave the position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Fredrick Fasehun [OPC Founder] gave me the Governor of the OPC in Ondo State on the 17th of March 2015, at an event in Lagos after Tayo Alao embezzled our money".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the police said it has been under intense pressure to free the three-arrested OPC members, but vowed they would all appear in court. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A lot of pressure has been on me, but I have vowed they would appear in court. The trio will serve as case studies for others who are planning same or has the same intention. Nobody is above the law", he said.</div>

<b>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won 22 out of the 23 chairmanship seats in the local government election conducted in Rivers State on Saturday.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The party also won 297 councillorship seats in the 302 wards while other political parties won the rest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The result was announced on Sunday night by the Chief Returning Officer of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, Austin Ahiazu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said there was no election in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area because the poll was held in the council last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The chairmanship seats were won by APC in all the 22 LGAs where elections held,” he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As you know, there were no elections at Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA because they just had election last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“APC won 297 wards out of 302 wards. The remaining wards were won by ADC in Etche ward 3, PPA in Ahoada West ward 2, and Ahoada East ward 4 SDP won the seat there.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He, however, said the election in Ward 8, Ahoada East LGA, was inconclusive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Ahiauzu described the election as peaceful and transparent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Returning Officer thanked Rivers people for going out to vote candidates of their choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Lagos lawyer, Mr. Festus Keyamo, on Monday withdrew as prosecuting counsel from the trial of a former Governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, who is facing six counts of ₦2.45bn fraud before a Federal High Court in Abuja.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had, on May 18, 2015, re-arraigned Sylva for the offences he allegedly committed between October 2009 and February 2010 as governor of Bayelsa State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, counsel from Keyamo's law firm, Mr. John Ainetor, appeared in court on Monday, informing the presiding judge, Justice Evoh Chukwu, of his principal’s decision to withdraw from further prosecuting the case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ainetor did not give reasons for Keyamo's decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keyamo's letter to the EFCC, indicating his intention to withdraw from the suit, did not also give any specific reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, the application he filed to that effect did not give any details apart from stating that his decision was informed by "certain recent developments".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His letter to the EFCC read: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kindly recall that sometime in 2012, the Commission briefed my Chambers to prosecute CHARGE NO. FHC/ABJ/CR/23/2012; BETWEEN: THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA V. TIMIPRE SYLVA.
