PASTOR DIES, 27 Ogboni Fraternity Members Storm Home; Perform Occultic Rites

It has been announced that Tope Alabi
erstwhile spiritual father, Prophet Elijah
Iretiola Ajanaku has finally had his last
breath. This was confirmed by a team of
medical doctors late yesterday. But the
mystery that surrounds his death is still
incredulous, reason being that, the deceased
was respected by his congregation even the
popular gospel singer gave her series of
hypes in all her albums et all.
What is so amazing is the role the occult
people popular called Ogboni Fraternity
played in his death. A very reliable source
whispered to us that, two days ago, 27
Ogboni people visited his place and said to
have asked every occupant to evacuate.
Having spent some time with his corpse,
they left, an informed family source
revealed.
Not only that, it was also revealed that Oro,
the deity that comes out and is forbidden to
be seen by women, since his travails, has
been shouting his name and all sort of.
The man, according to his church, was
confirmed finally dead last night and his
remains, the church said, has been
deposited in the morgue but the Ogboni
people, a source hinted us, has warned the
church not to go ahead with his funeral
without consulting them first; what this
simply implies is that, the late pastor might
have fraternized with this sect to aide his
pastoral ministries. But can a man help
God?
Below is official statement issued by the
church to announce his demise:
‘The death has been announced of Prophet
Elijah Iretiola Ajanaku whose death was
confirmed by a team of doctors on Thursday
night after several vigil of prayers since
Saturday evening when his health
deteriorated. Prophet Ajanaku who hailed
from the Owo Ope family in Gbongan is
survived by his wife, Joy and two children
Stella and Apotieri. His remains has been
deposited at the Military Mortuary, Yaba, Lagos.
Though he was born a Moslem over 40
years ago in Gbongan, he moved to Lagos in
the 90s and settled in Ipaja Ayobo area
where he acquired skills in many vocations
and engaged in several trades before his
encounter with God.
He founded and shepherded the Christ
Revival Victory Chapel International,
Ayobo, Ipaja, Lagos and rose to become the
President of The Ajanaku World Outreach, a
ministry devoted to the spread of the gospel
outside the church. His last mission
unaccomplished was Idoani For Christ,
slated for September 30 and October 1, 2013
in Idoani, Ondo State.
Until his death, he was a widely travelled
evangelist with remarkable crusades and
prophetic healings around the world. Burial
arrangements will be announced by the
family and the church soon’

ASUU STRIKE: Go back to work, or we won't pay you. FG

The Federal Government’s patience seems to
have run out with the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) as it has
decided to wield the big stick on its
members threatening to invoke the no-
work-no-pay policy to force the striking
lecturers back to work.
Secretary to Government of the Federation,
Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, on Friday
ordered the striking university lecturers to
return to their duty posts while the pending
issues were being resolved. He also directed
all the governing councils of the various
universities to open the gates of the
institutions to students as from next week.
The directives followed the inability of both
parties (FG and ASUU) to reach a definite
agreement on the issue earned allowances
to university workers after about two
months of dialogue and negotiations and the
threat by the union to discontinue talks
with government.
ASUU began its current strike on July 1
following failure of government to
implement a 2009 agreement between the
two parties on public universities funding.
Anyim gave the directives at a meeting with
the chairmen of the councils and vice-
chancellors in Abuja on Friday.
The Federal Government on the occasion
also disbursed the N30 billion it provided to
support the councils for the payment of
academic earned allowances to lecturers.
Anyim said this was in addition to the N100
billion provided by the government to
address the challenges of infrastructural
deficit in the system.
He said: “Mr. President is fully committed
to bringing the students back to school and
appreciates the patience of parents and
students as government is making every
effort to revitalise the university system.
“By this demonstration of clear commitment
to revitalise the university system,
government hereby urges every (member of)
staff of the nation’s universities to return to
work as all issues are being resolved.
“With particular reference to the
contentious issue of earned allowances,
every (member of) staff of the universities
that is so entitled should verify his claim
with his university council and accordingly
get paid,” he said.
ASUU had on Thursday foreclosed further
talks with the Federal Government
negotiation team, an indication of a total
collapse of negotiations.
SGF said the Earned Allowances was the
major issue in dispute, adding that
traditionally, universities pay deserving
staff but “because of the amount that ASUU
now claims as arrears, government decided
to assist the university councils to pay.”
He said the Federal Government did not
receive any computation of amount
involved until February, 2013 and that
ASUU demanded for an outrageous sum of
N92 billion arrears for three years’
payment based on percentage range of
between 15 and 20 of personnel cost.
The Minister of Education, Professor
Rugayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, also said that
ASUU actually went on strike over the
initial offer of five per cent of personnel
cost of the entire university staff.
She said that government had addressed all
other issues raised by the union for them to
call off the strike. She maintained that
government had no money to pay the N92
billion academic Earned Allowances
requested by ASUU, insisting that it was not
feasible in view of the current state of the
nation’s economy.
Anyim further said: “After series of
discussions involving the National
Assembly; the SGF; the Chairman of the
Needs Assessment Report Implementation
Committee, Governor Gabriel Suswam; the
ministers of Education, Labour; and the
Coordinating Minister for the Economy and
other stakeholders, government has now
provided N30 billion to support the
university councils in settling the Earned
Allowances.”
He said all other issues of Consolidated
Salary Structure for Academics in Nigerian
Universities (CONUASS II), amendment of
Pensionable Retirement Age of Academics in
the Professorial Cadre to 70 years have been
fully implemented.
Anyim said most of the issues contained in
the 2009 agreement, which necessitated the
current strike, have been fully met, except
for the Earned Allowances, which ASUU
pegged at N92 billion.
He said, “On July 2nd, 2013, ASUU declared
what it called, ‘total and indefinite strike’
over issues it says have remained
unresolved pertaining to an agreement it
reached with government in 2009. It is
pertinent to narrate the genesis of the 2009
agreement. ASUU went on strike action in
2006 based on their request for a review of
personnel matters, on account of this,
government initiated a Needs Assessment of
the University system comprising federal
and state universities. The negotiations led
to the 2009 agreement.
“Some of the issues which bothered on
amendment of pensionable retirement age of
academics in the professorial cadre;
consolidated peculiar allowances
(CONPUAA), exclusively for university
teaching staff; National Health Insurance
Scheme (NHIS); setting up of budget
monitoring committee in all public
universities have been fully implemented.”
He said the Federal Government had
explained why ASUU’s demands concerning
the transfer of Federal Government landed
property to universities would not be
possible to implement.
“Government has been clear that it cannot
transfer government’s landed property to
ASUU because it has no structure to manage
or maintain such property.
Government is, however, willing to support
any council that sets up a property
company with management structure to
compete with others in the industry,” he
stated.
In a related development, the Minister of
Education, Ruqayyatu Rufa’I, at the event in
Abuja, said she expected ASUU to suspend
the strike going by the latest action of
government.
She said the situation had generated so
much anxiety on the part of students,
parents and government, and that
negotiations on the remaining issues could
continue.
“Government is ready to implement all the
recommendations, particularly as it relates
to revitalisation of the universities system. I
want to assure you that this will be done in
the next few years.
The Minister of Labour and Productivity,
Chief Emeka Wogu; Chairman, Senate
Committee on Education, Senator Uche
Chukwumerije; and the Chairman, House
Committee on Education, Honourable
Aminu Suleiman, all attended the meeting.
Meanwhile, efforts to get the reaction of
ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Isa Fagge, on the
development were unsuccessful as his
mobile phone line was ‘unreachable’.

First Liver Surgery With Tablet Computer In Germany.

The following are images from Germany of a
liver surgery, one of the first surgeries of its
kind in the country with the support of a
tablet computer to access and visualize
planning data. The tablet uses augmented
reality, which allows the liver to be filmed with
an iPad and overlaid during an operation with
virtual 3D models reconstructed from the real
organ.
Developed by Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen,
this procedure helps locate critical structures
such as tumors and vessels and is expected to
improve the quality of transferring pre
operational resection plans into actual surgery.

Boko-Haram Suspect Flown To Abuja Aboard Military Jet.

One of the high profile members of Boko
Haram, Mubarak Dan Hajia, was yesterday
whisked to Abuja aboard a military jet, a
security source confirmed to Daily Sun in
Sokoto. The suspect was arrested last
week in a joint operation by men of the 1
Brigade Nigerian Army and the State
Security Service (SSS) in the state during
which arms and ammunition as well as
explosive materials were allegedly
recovered from his custody.
An airport official, who preferred
anonymity, said the prime suspect was
blindfolded while he was being led into an
Air Force presidential jet, amid maximum
security mounted at the Sultan Abubakar
III Airport.
Earlier, Army authorities in Sokoto State had confirmed the arrest of the suspect
alongside others suspected to be his footsoldiers with various arms,
ammunition and bomb-making materials
in a hideout at Nakasare area of the state
capital.
It was further gathered that the suspect
had earlier evaded arrest by the joint task
force before he was nabbed along Sokoto-
Birnin Kebbi Road during a manhunt
mounted by the operatives. The suspect, a
native of Sokoto, was believed to be
among the high-rank commanders of the
sect.
During his arrest, items recovered include
three AK-47 rifles, one riot gun, 153
rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, 21
primed explosive cylinders, 27 primed
small tin cans of explosives, three
cartoons of acid, six nine voltage
batteries, bunch of detonator cables, four
containers of chemical substance and 14
knockout devices.
Others were four measuring beakers, four
plugs, 10 super glues, two hand sets, 12
empty soft drink cans, one packet of
matches, one packet of rubber straw,
eight motorcycle alarm speakers, two
thermometers, over 50 biro cut in pieces,
two scissors and one theatre picker.

I, Amb. Alvan is a living witness to the bad state of this ROAD......Imo Women Threaten To Go Unclad Over Failed Roads

Residents of Nekede, Eziobodo and Ihiagwa communities in Owerri
West Local Government Area of Imo State have threatened to go
Unclad in protest over the terrible condition of roads in the area.
The aggrieved villagers, who were mostly women, said they would
take to the street to protest what they called government’s
indifference to the plight of the people, saying the three
communities had been cut off from the entire state.
They said despite the fact that the communities jointly played host
to two federal tertiary institutions namely Federal Polytechnic,
Nekede and Federal University of Technology, and other Federal
Government’s institutions, with the attendant high vehicular
movements, the federal and the state governments have remained
non-challant to the people’s ordeal.
Speaking with journalists, spokesperson of the women, Lady
Mariam Oziri, said: “We decided to do something absurd to attract
the attention of the insensitive government and if nothing is done,
we will mobilize women and march Unclad to the Government
House.
“We are tired of excuses every year. The state government has
been playing hide and seek with one contractor who was said to
have been awarded the contract by the previous administration
and each year the road continues to deteriorate and this has
affected commerce and exposed residents to untold hardship.”
Lady Oziri said the deplorable condition of the roads had forced
motorists to hike transport fares thereby multiplying the woes of
the people, especially students of the two higher institutions in the
area.
The construction of the Nekede-Ihiagwa Road was earlier engulfed
in controversy as the contractor, Hadel and Enic, dragged the state
government to court when Governor Rochas Okorocha revoked the
contract.
However, the contractor had severally denied reports that the
pending suit was responsible for the delay in the construction of
the road.
An inside source in the Government House, who pleaded
anonymity, told Daily Sun that the contract for the construction of
the road had been awarded, adding that work would commence on
the road immediately after the rains.

GAY PRACTICE in our PRISONS. Keyamo Petitions Prisons Over Attempt To Sodomise Charles Okah

31 Jul 2013
Lagos lawyer, Festus keyamo, has written
a petition to the Comptroller General of
Nigeria Prisons, over allegations of acts of
sodomy taking place in Kuje Prison, in the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
In the petition dated Tuesday, Keyamo
complained that his client, Mr Charles
Okah, elder brother of jailed Henry Okah,
was almost Molested by some prison
officials on the pretext that they wanted
to confirm if he had stuffed some
substance in his anus.
According to the petition, “On
Wednesday, 3rd July, 2013, at about 6.30
am, some prison warders, specifically Mr.
Isah Musa (the chief clerk), Mr. Tanko
Gokuje, (the assistant yard master) and
three (3) other prison warders
(hereinafter referred to as the culprits)
entered our client’s cell (No.1) and
demanded to search his anus because
they claimed they had information that he
was hiding ‘incriminating’ materials
therein. Before entering his cell, they
made sure all other inmates were locked
up in their cells.”
The lawyer maintained that although
his client protested the so-called
examination, the warders
overwhelmed him in the cell, and when
he eventually allowed the examination
to be carried out, he saw Musa, the
chief clerk, undressing, armed with a
full and “sustained” Attention of his
organ, forcing him (Okah) to raise the
alarm, calling for help.
According to the petition, Okah had heard
of such acts of sodomy within the prison
among other inmates. But until that
fateful morning, he had not experienced
it.
In his words: “Having heard from other
inmates in the past that this is a known
pattern used by warders to sodomise
inmates, our client initially resisted the
attempt, but was forced to succumb after
much pressure and insistence by the
culprits.
“However, having succumbed, to the utter
shock and dismay of our client, he saw
that Mr. Isah Musa pulled off his clothes
and with the sustained Attention
attempted to carry out the acts of
sodomy on him. To achieve this, our
client was then held to the ground by Mr.
Tanko Gokuje and three (3) other warders.
Our client had to intensify his struggle
and resistance to prevent the completion
of the criminal act. Our client screamed
for help and this was heard by other
inmates.”
Keyamo said although the report of the
incident was made, the prison authorities
led by DCP Felix Lawrence, pleaded with
Okah not to formalise the complaint and
urged him to “kill the report”.
The lawyer noted that “this criminal act
has been reported as a common and
recurring phenomenon in the Nigerian
prisons. It simply shows the despicable
level of moral decadence of the officers
who are paid to take charge of prison
inmates.”
While urging the Comptroller General of
Prisons to investigate the allegation,
Keyamo called for the application of
“appropriate sanctions” on those found
wanton in the case.

Gay People Should be absorbed in the society. -Pope Francis

The Pope's position on gay people appears
to contrast with that of his predecessors.
Pope Francis has said gay people should not
be judged or marginalised.
Speaking to reporters on a flight back from
Brazil, he said: "If a person is gay and seeks
God and has good will, who am I to judge
him?"
The Pope's remarks are being seen as much
more conciliatory than his predecessor's
position on the issue.
Turning to the issue of women priests, he
said the Church had spoken and had
said"no", but the role of women should not
be restricted.
"We cannot limit the role of women in the
Church to altar girls or the president of a
charity, there must be more," he said in a
wide-ranging interview with Vatican
journalists.
Five months after he took over from Pope
Benedict, he said gay people should be fully
accepted in society.
""The Catechism of the Catholic Church
explains this very well," Pope Francis said.
"It says they should not be marginalised
because of this but that they must be
integrated into society."
But he condemned what he described as
lobbying by gay people.
"The problem is not having this orientation,"
he said. "We must be brothers. The problem
is lobbying by this orientation, or lobbies of
greedy people, political lobbies, Masonic
lobbies, so many lobbies. This is the worse
problem."
