Reno Omokri Exposed As Author Of Fake Document Linking Ousted CBN Governor To Boko Haram

By SaharaReporters, New York
Reno Omokri, the outspoken Special Assistant on Social Media to President Goodluck Jonathan, was today unmasked as the brain behind a fraudulent attempt to link Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to the recent spike in Boko Haram violence in Borno and Yobe States. In one of the recent attacks, Boko Haram terrorists slaughtered some 60 secondary school students at their boarding house.

Posing as “Wendell Simlin,” Mr. Omokri circulated a Word document linking the former CBN Governor to the recent attacks. The ruse was however uncovered when some Internet-savvy Nigerians traced the IP address of the source document and it turned out that it had been authored and circulated by Mr. Omokri.

Sanusi's Suspension: Nigerians Are Losing Objectivity In Reacting To Issues - PDP


A Former Acting Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bode Ojomu, has bemoaned the increasing trend of partisanship in the way issues are addressed in Nigeria, saying that people are losing objectivity in their reactions to issues.

Mr Ojomu said that people were supposed to be nationalistic in looking at issues.

"Issues that we are supposed to be nationalistic about, we are too partisan and political about it and we have lost our objectivity to look at things the way they appear. It is a public problem in Nigeria," he said on Wednesday, while giving his opinion on the suspension of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi.

Presidency react to killing of Federal Govt College students in Yobe

See a State House Press Release condemning the attack below, signed by Reuben Abati..

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has received with immense sadness and anguish, news of the callous and senseless murder by terrorists of scores of students at a college in Yobe State in the early hours of today.

On behalf of himself and the Federal Government, President Jonathan extends heartfelt condolences to the parents and relatives of the murdered students. 

The President wholly condemns the heinous, brutal and mindless killing of the guiltless students by deranged terrorists and fanatics who have clearly lost all human morality and descended to bestiality.

He assures the nation that his administration will not relent in its ongoing efforts to end the scourge of terrorism in parts of the country which has sadly claimed more innocent lives today.
The Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies will continue to prosecute the war against terror with full vigour, diligence and determination until the dark cloud of mass murder and destruction of lives and property is permanently removed from our horizon.

Pastor Cho Yong-gi Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison for Embezzlement

The Rev. Cho Yong-gi, founder of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, South Korea, one of the largest Pentecostal churches in the world, has been sentenced to three years in prison for embezzling church funds.

Cho was found guilty of causing $12 million in losses to the church by having officials in 2002 buy stocks owned by his eldest son, Cho Hee-jun, at four times the market value, Yonhap reported on Thursday.

The 78-year-old pastor, who founded the church in 1958, will also have to pay about $4.6 million in fines. The junior Cho will also be serving a three-year prison term for colluding with his father, the Seoul Central District Court ruled.

Cho was also found to have been evading 35 billion won (US $3.3 million) in taxes. The elderly pastor first came under investigation in 2011 when he was accused by 29 church elders of embezzling church funds and privatizing church assets.

Cho was apparently given a light sentence by the Seoul court because of his long-standing contributions to society, and will have a five-year stay of execution.

Tuface Idibia issues press release regarding recent pregnancy rumours

A few days ago, a rumour surfaced about 2face Idibia allegedly getting a young woman pregnant and various versions of the story have emerged since then.

2face would like to categorically state that these stories are completely false and baseless.

The press has published this story in many versions without confirming the authenticity of the allegations. He would like to make it very clear: THERE IS NO TRUTH TO THIS STORY. 
He would also like to request that the media houses that have already published this story issue retractions without any delay.

2face does not have anything to hide and if the story were true, he would admit it and not try to lie to the public by denying it.

When striving to maintain journalistic integrity, it is important for the press to make sure that they have irrefutable evidence before publishing potentially harmful news such as this. In this case, there has been no confirmation of the authenticity of the rumour.

We do not know what the true motives are behind the peddling of such a vicious rumor, but we would like to make sure that everyone knows the truth about it.

How 45 Directors At The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Colluded With Nigeria’s Attorney General And Minister To Reverse Their Retirement

Sahara Reporters
Prof. Viola Onwuliri
Some 45 directors at the federal ministry of foreign affairs have colluded with the highly corrupt Attorney General of the federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke and the supervising minister of foreign affairs, Professor Viola Onwuliri to frustrate their retirement from plum foreign ambassadorial positions in a situation that may yet redefine retirement of federal civil servants in Nigeria.

The AGF interfered in their retirement after receiving hefty sums of bribe money from the career civil servants. AGF Adoke, who is one of the most remarkably corrupt ministers in the cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan, issued a memo to the president requesting that 45 directors who are currently acting as ambassadors in several foreign missions who had earlier retired in December 2013 after completing an 8 year tenure be recalled to continue as directors.

SSS barred from all International airport

Operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) have been directed by the Ministry of Aviation headed by Stella Oduah, to stay away from all the nation’s international airports.

The order, which was communicated to the SSS leadership a few weeks ago, was said to have shocked the operatives. The new order might affect the ability of the SSS to perform its duties of preventing, detecting, and investigating threats of espionage, subversion, sabotage and terrorist activities, especially at the airports.

The SSS Deputy Director, Public Relations, Marilyn Ogar, could not be reached for comments on Sunday as she did not respond to calls to her mobile telephone line. The Ministry of Aviation refused to either confirm or deny the withdrawal of the SSS operatives from  the airports.

A relative of Al-Ameen, who preferred to remain anonymous because he was not authorised to speak on behalf of the family, said the clerics were on their way to the Ifo area of Ogun State when the unfortunate incident occurred. Al-Ameen, 64 was the owner of the vehicle and the Zonal Missioner of Shams ul Deen, an Islamic society while the driver of the vehicle, Thiamiyu, 50 was the Zonal Missioner of the Shasha branch of Shams ul Deen.
