Buhari Led Anti-Corruption War By Example Said By CPC Boss

          
    
The ICPC boss said the war against corruption by the present administration has made so much progress and gaining momentum because the president had been leading by example.

According to a statement released by the commission on Friday, February 5, 2016, Nta said the success of the internal war against corruption has seen the international community reckoning with the anti-corruption
drive of the government.

  Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, Chairman, Ekpo Nta, has attributed the progress made so far to the anti-corruption disposition of the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The seriousness with which the war is being fought in Nigeria has been eliciting responses from countries that have been promising to offer assistance to Nigeria in its fight against corruption," the statement reads in part.

Continuing, it read, 'ICPC has long taken preventive measures towards advancing the course of the fight against corruption through the promotion of ethics and integrity from childhood. We have also alluded to the launching of National Values Curriculum in schools since 2007 to inculcate ethics in students at primary and secondary schools, which is in collaboration with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council.'

In Ogun State 110 Persons Under Watch Of Lassa Fever

A total of 110 people have been placed under watch by medical practitioners in Ogun State following the record of the first case of Lassa Fever.

According to the state's Commissioner for Health, Dr. Babatunde Ipaye, the number of the primary contacts with the first index case of Lassa fever in the state has increased from 60 to 110, and they have all been placed under watch.

Dr Ipaye made this statement when he visited the 28-years old lady, who is the first victim in the state, on
Saturday, February 6, 2016 at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital Sagamu.

He said the Ministry of Health had tracked 50 more of the former patients who were on admission “before and after the victim was brought into the two private hospitals” for treatment.

“All the 110 persons have been given a thermometer each to monitor the level of their temperature with one Surveillance Officer attached to each of them,” he said

Continuing, he said, 'the 60 persons earlier put under watch were made up of health workers of the two private hospitals, and family members of the victim. 35 were from the first hospital, 22 from the second one and three family members of the victim.'

Corroborating the words of Dr Ipaye, the Director of Public Health in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Yusuf Quudus, reiterated that the 110 persons under surveillance would be watched closely between 6-21 days incubation period before they would be released to their family members.

Unbelievable! A Church pastor attempts to defile wife of General Overseer

– The claims has generated an uproar in the church as members seek the truth
Reports suggest that a senior pastor in Asaba, Delta state, has attempted to rape his General Overseer’s wife.

The pastor whose name is withheld for security reasons, reportedly tried to rape the church leader’s wife on Thursday, February 4, but the attempt was foiled by the church members who were said to have stumbled on him while in the process.

According to the general overseer of the church who did not want his name in the print, the senior pastor in question has been his friend before he was called to the church to be his assistance.



He said: “On this fateful day,  I cannot say what came over him, I went for one week evangelism out of Asaba, my wife with the children were at home alone, so I came back my wife told me that the pastor came to the house and attempted to rape her but she was rescued by two members who suddenly walked into the house”.

Investigation revealed that the suspect had called the Overseer’s wife on phone, saying that he was hungry and wanted to come over to the house to eat.

The non-suspecting G.O’s wife, obliged his request because he was a big friend of the family.

Sources say that on the said day, the pastor got to the house, knowing that the G.O was not around, and finding out that the children had gone to school, he allegedly went to the bathroom where the lady was having her bath and was interrupted in an attempt to get in.

The alleged attempt to rape the Overseer’s wife stirred an uproar, as members are divided on what the pastors mission was at the G.O’s home.

Residents of the area where the church is located are also concerned even as the church authorities are investigating the issue and weighing claims on both sides.

CDS takes over Buratai to lead Boko Haram war

The recent changes in the strategies against the deadly Boko Haram sect caused unease in the Nigerian army.

Therefore, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Maj.-Gen. Abayomi Olonishakin took over the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to lead the battle aimed to wipe out the insurgents.

Daily Post exclusive investigation shows that the finding follows days on the seeming spate in the attacks of Boko Haram, after the group’s inability to carry out main attacks towards the end of 2015 year.

The recent shake-up in the Theater Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole reportedly was part of moves by the army to confirm that the Defence Headquarters was now responsible for all operations.


Major General Hassan Umar becomes the heade of the operation in the end of December.

Also, the General Officer Commanding, 7 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maiduguri, Major General Lamidi Adeosun, was substituted with Brigadier General Victor Ezugwu.

He was sent to Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) with headquarters in Chad.

The latest massacre of the insurgents in Dalori near Maiduguri occurred while the changes were still being discussed.

The incident marred the image of the Muhammadu Buhari’s government, that claimed that the deadly sect has been technically defeated.

Answering to the questions why Buratai, in his position as Army Chief, was yet to visit the scene of the massacre in spite of visits by a federal government delegation and the new Theatre head, the army sources confirmed that the Boko Haram operation has been transferred to the CDS.

A source said: “Mr. Buratai usually visits attacked communities. Instances are Geidam, Madagali, among others. He visits within 24 hours with warnings and words of encouragement to troops.”

However, the investigation shows that the COAS stayed away after recent attacks in Chibok, Wanori and Dalori, while it also seems that the change in command and control of the soldiers has commenced taking toll on operations.

“Soldiers in battle front believe the development came at a wrong time. We used to have daily raids against Boko Haram,” added another source.

“They are now relaxed because everyone is waiting for the new plan directly from CDS’s office. We hope politics is not coming into play over management of operations.

“The war on Boko Haram should be from Maiduguri, not Abuja. We must not allow room for lapses. Many of the troops are not happy about the restructure and this is the truth.

“Being the ground troops and doing the bulk of the work, they want the COAS, whether Buratai or not, to be in command not CDS.

“In the past, operations directly under Defence were full of issues; go back to history. We only had some relief during the tenure of Ihejirika and now Buratai.

“Honestly, the recent upsurge in Boko Haram attacks is an indication Nigeria is moving back to square one and the fact that the terrorists all escaped after Dalori massacre shows we are in trouble.”

Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, Director Defence Information, didn’t confirm the development yet.

At least 86 people were killed and at least 62 more wounded in an attack by Boko Haram militants on Dalori village 4 kilometers from Maiduguri on January 30. The attack was a reprisal to the Civilian Joint Task Force, and it began when militants in two cars and on motorcycles entered Dalori and began to shoot at residents and firebomb their huts. The attack lasted for about four hours, and the militants supposedly burnt children alive.
