Residents of the area have decried the presence of the policemen, stating that it is an affront on their fundamental human rights. Both human and vehicular movement in the area have been restricted, as only residents with proper identification are allowed into the area.

The house directly behind Melaye's has also been taken over by the Police in the attempt to prevent him from escaping through the fence. Journalists covering the siege were chased away from the area.

The lawmaker's brother, Moses Melaye, had raised the alarm that the Police may have perfected a plan to plant ammunition in the house to implicate him.

At the time of this report, the whereabouts of the senator could not be ascertained, but he has promised to surrender himself to the Police.

Today we bring you a Video showing moment when a worm was pulled from little girl's nose after being stuck inside

A six-year-old girl has had a black wiggling worm pulled from her nose after it was stuck inside for more than a month.

The youngster from Vietnam visited the doctors with her parents after complaining of something moving inside her nose.

The little girl from Phin Ngan, close to the border with China, is believed to have inhaled the creature while drinking water from a stream.

The bug grew while inside her body and was around three inches long, when it was eventually pulled free.

The little girl was filmed in the doctor's surgery as she sat very still for the extraction procedure.
A doctor can be seen using a long, thin pincer to approach the girl's nose.

After locating the worm, it was pulled out of her nose, much to the little girl's shock.

In the footage the girl can be seen staring at the creature, as the doctor talks to her parents out of shot.

The Nigerian Police has given a detail account about the arrest of Dino, and why there at the resident of senator to arrest him.

Police PRO said "the Men of the Force were there to effect his arrest over a case of culpable homicide".

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Melaye and some suspects were accused of shooting a police officer, Sgt. Danjuma Saliu, attached to 37 Police Mobile Force (PMF) while on duty in Aiyetoro Gbede, Mopa Road in Kogi.

A statement by the force spokesman, acting DCP Jimoh Moshood in Abuja, said the police would continue to occupy his residence until he surrendered.

“The police operatives will continue to be at the residence of Sen. Dino Melaye until he surrenders himself for arrest,” he said.

Moshood said that the offence for which Melaye was being investigated was capital in nature and not compoundable.

He said that the officer was yet to recover from the gunshot injury he sustained during the attack.

The spokesman alleged Melaye had refused to report to the police command in Kogi to answer the charges in spite of the letter written to the Clerk of the National Assembly.

“The force will not tolerate attack on its personnel by any individual, no matter how highly placed. The law must take its course,”he said.

He said that members of the public would be kept informed on further development in the investigation of the matter.

NAN also reports that a combined team of mobile and regular police personnel have laid siege to the Abuja home of Melaye at 1 :40 p.m on Friday

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign organization has released more fact about buhari's ownership of the some companies and declared that Nigeria’s president and candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, no longer has the moral standing to seek re-election until he directly responds to corruption allegations by its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The PDP presidential candidate had demanded a probe into the ownership of Etisalat Nigeria and Keystone Bank.

Mr Abubakar in a statement by a spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, said the call was necessary, “in view of reports that members of Mr Buhari’s family now own substantial share in Etisalat Nigeria, which has an estimated $2 billion (about N727 billion at 360 per dollar) of its estimated $20 billion global net worth.”

The PDP campaign council, in a statement signed by its director, media and publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, said that Mr Buhari should perish the thought of going ahead with his re-election campaign without clearing what he described as a pertinent issue, because it directly bothers on his integrity, both as a person and the exalted office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“The PDP Presidential Campaign challenges President Buhari to explain how his family members came about the sum of N1.032 trillion for this scandalous acquisition,” Mr Ologbondiyan said in a statement.

He said Nigerians are not interested in “mere rhetoric or attempts by the Buhari Presidency to divert public attention from the issue at hand, but demand that President Buhari, who hitherto, prides himself as Mr. Integrity, squarely addresses these grave issues in person.”

“This is not an issue for President Buhari’s aides to howl about in the media, it touches directly on his person, particularly his perception as a symbol of the Talakawas. He must therefore address them on this issue.”

“It is a norm that he who comes to equity must come with clean hands. President Buhari and his family members have entangled themselves in corruption. Mr. President’s hands can no longer be said to be clean, until he proves otherwise.”

The campaign organization said it wants Nigerians and the whole world to note that Mr Buhari’s refusal to personally address the matter means consent.

Mr Ologbondiyan dared Mr Buhari to put forth a denial on the disclosure by Mr Abubakar, adding that the party will spare no thoughts in furnishing the public with details of his corrupt activities, within and outside Nigeria.

“Our party has full details of how persons related to President Buhari, by consanguinity and affinity, have been paved the way to loot trillions of naira from government agencies for corrupt acquisition of shares in major companies, purchase expensive property within and outside Nigeria, as well as to finance their very luxury lifestyles, under Mr. President’s cover.”

“In fact, no Nigerian has made more money in the last three and half years than relations of President Buhari, many of whom have found themselves controlling stupendous wealth frittered from our economy, yet our President is asking Nigerians to get ready for more hardship in the coming year.”

He also stated that his party is privy to facts of how the relations of the president have been hounding government agencies, major business concerns and intending foreign investors over kickbacks as well as strangulating companies that refuse to accede to their demands.

“Nigerians will also recall how the Buhari Presidency muted the case of the Aide of the First Lady, Mr. Baba-Inna, who was arrested in September this year, over accusations of receiving N2.5 billion from politicians, businessmen and women on behalf of the First Lady.”

“Nigerians can also recall how the Buhari Presidency gagged the confession of one Amina Mohammed, paraded by the Department of State Services (DSS), who stated in public that persons close to President Muhammadu Buhari were involved in serial fraud and looting of public resources under the official cover of the Buhari Presidency.

“In fact, there is incontrovertible evidence, as provided by the Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, that President Buhari is not as clean as his handlers want Nigerians to believe.

“In October 4, 2010, el-Rufai accused Buhari of corruption in allowing 53 suitcases, belonging to his ADC’s father, to enter Nigeria, unchecked, at a time the country was exchanging old currency for new in 1984.”

He further stated that the president should not continue to dress himself in what he described as borrowed garb of integrity until he cleans himself of the “stinking corruption of his acolytes, family and friends, under his cover.”

Responding to the allegations by the PDP campaign organization, spokesperson of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organization, Festus Keyamo, in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES accused the PDP of a plot to release a series of wild, unsubstantiated allegations against the president and vice president, Mr Osinbajo, including their friends and family members, in the next few weeks.

“With the latest revelation,” he said, “the said shares are rather linked to relatives of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, it has become a case of the thief calling the farm owner the thief, as the Yorubas would say, in a popular proverb.
These impending wild allegations would naturally border on corrupt practices, without any evidential basis.”

Mr Keyamo said the purpose is to attempt to dent the greatest forte of the president and vice president, which, according to him, is their personal integrity, ahead of the 2019 elections.

He said the latest tactics of the main opposition is premised on the following grounds:

“Since their stuttering campaigns started, they have felt the pulse of Nigerians and realized Nigerians have not forgotten their misdeeds of 16 years whilst in office.

“They have decided to run a campaign of “we-are-all-corrupt” rather than defend their sordid records of merciless looting of the public purse, which has brought us to where we are today.

“The aim is to push Nigerians to equate an Alhaji Atiku Abubakar with President Muhammadu Buhari on matters of corruption. They want to deceive Nigerians to think that the 2019 elections is really a choice between two “corrupt” persons.

“By repeating the lies a million times, they aim to get Nigerians to begin to give some serious thought to the lies. This is how the “Jubrin from Sudan” story started, before even some well-exposed and educated Nigerians were nearly converted on that issue.

“Their latest desperate diversionary tactics is because even the most uneducated Nigerian has now understood that all the issues upon which the main opposition is campaigning are self-indicting issues, especially on the Economy and Security.”

He said the foundation for the challenges in these sectors, are firmly rooted in what he termed as “16 years of disastrous governance which he said President Buhari has just started re-building.

Mr Keyamo said Nigerians should brace up for six weeks of despicable lies from the pit of hell against the president and vice president, to try to suggest to Nigerians that the president and his deputy are part of the league of looters to which the PDP belongs.

“But Nigerians should understand that the choices before them have never been this clear: It is between a fugitive from the law in America and a President who has never been accused of stealing anything in his entire life and is respected both locally and internationally;”

“It is between a man who claims he wants to ‘get Nigeria working again’ yet has always refused to pay his taxes AS AT WHEN DUE and a man who has NEVER cheated the Nigerian State.”

News coming from North Eastern part Nigeria has it, that no fewer than 700 soldiers are missing with more than 2,000 trapped following a Boko Haram attack on Thursday that culminated in the loss of Baga, a town in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, by the Nigerian Army.

A faction of the insurgents loyal to Abu Musab al-Barnawi attacked Baga, lying northeast of Kukawa, and succeeded in dislodging the soldiers and hoisting their flags.

According to an aid worker who spoke with SaharaReporters, “a large number of soldiers are still missing and many others are trapped.”

“Boko haram has taken over Baga town,” said the source. “More than 2,000 troops are there trapped, and 700 are missing. [Air Force] jets cannot do anything now because the soldiers are trapped in their midst”.

SaharaReporters could not independently verify the figures being mentioned, but a security source said it was "highly possible", considering Baga is the headquarters of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) — a formation comprising units, mostly military, from Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria, and boasting between 7,500 and 10,000 personnel.

A security source confirmed the attack and the disappearance of “a high number of soldiers”.

“So many soldiers, likely in their hundreds, are missing,” he said. “Even the Baga Brigade Commander is back in Maiduguri, which means he must have escaped when he saw that his team was overwhelmed.”

The source also confirmed that the insurgents set the MNJTF headquarters ablaze, and made away with military equipment.

The Army, though, continues to deny that the town has been overrun by insurgents.

In a statement released on Friday, Sani Usman, Director of Army Public Relations, said the sidurgents were the ones fleeing.

“Please recall that yesterday, Wednesday 26th December 2018 suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked the headquarters of 7 Brigade Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), Baga, Borno State, at about 7.00pm,” he said in a statement.

“The troops along with their Nigerian Navy counterparts put up a very determined fight to repel the attack throughout the night, while Sector 3 Operation LAFIYA DOLE sent in reinforcement who are in hot pursuit of the terrorists. Similarly, a Search and Rescue team has been constituted.

“The Nigerian Air Force component has also been mobilised and are engaging the fleeing terrorists. Unfortunately, a naval personnel was killed in action. So far, no further details of casualties yet as efforts are ongoing to clear the terrorists hiding in Baga and environs.”

Man with an alien-like kind of head wants to be loved and seriously searching for one. He is desperate for surgery as he thinks his large head is putting women off.

Anshu Kumar is cruelly nicknamed ‘alien’ because of his condition, which doctors have been unable to diagnose.

Due to his mystery condition Anshu has deep set and narrow eyes in his enlarged head and the 22-year-old from Punjab, India, is unable to grow more than a thin strip of hair on top of his head.

Earning just £50 per month, Anshu has been unable to afford the money to visit a specialist doctor who could finally diagnose his condition.

He is hoping the government will step in and help fund his treatment, so he can live a normal life.

Anshu said: “I like to hang out with the children in my neighbourhood but often go for long walks alone.I go to the local factory for work each day, spending nine hours there."

He added: "I wish to get cured as early as possible, so I can marry and have a family.

“This is my ultimate dream. Wherever I go, people call me alien.
“They think I’m out of this world and consider me an extra-terrestrial.

“Due to my strange and big head, people gave me this nickname.

“When I was born, my parents consulted with a doctor, but he told them the disease is incurable.”

Members of Boko Haram terrorist group, Wednesday, beheaded a security aide of Governor Ibrahim Gaidam in Kukareta, a suburb of Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.

The victim, Inspector Ahmed, alongside his colleagues, was returning to Damaturu after an official assignment in Maiduguri before he was captured by the terror sect.

It was gathered that they met the Boko Haram insurgents who dressed in military uniform at a roadblock.

The gallant Police Officer, it was learnt, approached the terrorists to inquire from them the reason for blocking the high way.

The insurgents instantly shot Inspector Ahmed and subsequently beheaded him, while the remaining police escorts ran back without any attempt to rescue their colleague.

A police source who does not want his name to be published confirmed the killing and the beheading of the Inspector.

The source described the incident as unfortunate, saying the Inspector passed away when the police command in the state needed him the most.

“However, from God we came and to him we shall return. We have no authority to query God.

“We leave it as an act of God and ask God to forgive his sins. The best we can do to him is to continue to work and defend what he died for”, the source said.

Recalled that Boko Haram insurgents stormed a military base in Kukareta village Wednesday killing scores.

In November, Rampaging Boko Haram insurgents also overran a Nigerian Army battalion in Borno State, killing the unit’s commander and dozens of soldiers.

A video of the raid released by the insurgents caused outrage online. The video showed that the insurgents were better equipped than the army they raided.

Another video released by surviving soldiers of the raided battalion had soldiers showing obsolete equipment they are given to combat a better equipped boko haram. They called on the Nigerian state to provide them with latest combat equipment.

Chelsea and AC Milan have reportedly reached an agreement to swap Alvaro Morata for Gonzalo Higuain when the transfer window reopens in January. Both strikers have endured underwhelming campaigns, with Morata not even making the Chelsea squad for the last three Premier League matches while Higuain has not scored since October.

But according to Sport Mediaset, the two sides are ‘perfecting the final details’ of an exchange which is now described as inevitable, with just the nature of the swap still to be decided.

Technically, Higuain is still on loan at San Siro from Juventus, so the Italian champions must give their approval to the deal, but club bosses believe upcoming games against Frosinone and SPAL will be his final, goodbye appearances.

There are two options on the table, and the first would see Higuain’s loan at Milan terminated and he would move to Stamford Bridge on loan instead – with the possibility to make it permanent in the summer – with Morata going the other way on an 18-month loan of his own.

Two sisters who called themselves the "world’s most identical twins" plea for them to be allowed to marry their shared boyfriend of 6 years. The Identical twins have been dating the same man and set to marry him soon.

Anna and Lucy De Cinque, 33, have been dating Ben Byrne for six years and now believe the time is right to take the unusual relationship to the next level.

Speaking at the same time on Australia TV's Hughesy, We Have a Problem, the sisters said: "Okay, so we share a partner Ben and we would like marry him one day but the law in Australia says we can't, so what do we do?"

They've shared the clip on their own Instagram page with the caption: "We share a unique problem. WE WANT TO MARRY THE SAME MAN."

But since their outcry, Anna and Lucy found the law in Australia prevents them both marrying the mechanic.

Polygamy, having more than one wive, is indeed banned under the Marriage Act 1961, in the country.

Yet the twins, from Perth, claim they've always had the vision in mind with Ben.

Their Instagram bio reads: "World’s most identical twins."

"We were upfront that we came as a package, and he insisted that was fine with him," Anna previously had told The Sun.

Lucy said: "Being a non-identical twin himself, he said that he understood our bond.”

“We were still nervous, though.

“We knew some guys might think it was kinky to date twins and see us as a trophy, so we had to feel sure that Ben genuinely liked both of us before we agreed to meet him.”

Ben lived a 40-minute drive away from the inseparable sisters, until he moved in with them and their mum in 2017.

Lucy added: "Ben treats us completely equally. If he kisses Anna, he kisses me right after, and holds both our hands when we’re out.

“We all sleep together, but it’s not like a threesome as we don’t get involved with each other. Some people say it’s disgusting, but it works for us.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Vice-presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi has said that with President Muhammdu Buhari leading Nigeria the country is going no where saying that ‘Nigeria will not survive if Buhari’s goes ahead with plans to tax “poor Nigerians,” in line with provisions of the proposed budget which is largely focused on debt servicing.’ Obi further decried the economic situation in Nigeria saying: “Unless the right steps are taken to stop the bleeding, we will still be where we have been for years.

“It’s going to be difficult but we know where we are going and what we are going to do. To put the Nigerian economy back on a sound footing, we have to take a holistic look at SMEs because only then will you rescue the dwindling economy. 

“We need to change the way we do things in this country if we ever hope to come out of this economic quagmire we have found ourselves in. We must change the way we do things in this country or we will continue to grope in the dark.

Obi in Lagos yesterday said : “We need to know where we are going as a nation but with Buhari at the helms of affairs, we do not know where we are going. Buhari is not in charge of this government as he does not know or care what the poor people are going through,”.

“Nigerians are currently the poorest people on earth, yet the Muhammadu Buhari administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is still looking at taxing them the more. 

“Take look at the budget presented by the President a few days ago and you will see that it does not give anyone hope instead, it tells us that we are still where we have always been. “A quarter of the budget is meant to service debts, and that is about 60% of the budget while the President keeps telling Nigerians to tighten their belts because of the harsh times staring at us in the future.

Two buses branded ‘Buhari/Osibanjo campaign’ and the campaign office of one of the All Progressives Congress, APC, party factional governorship candidate in Enugu state, Mr. George Tagbo Ogara, were on Saturday, set ablaze by hoodlums still at large.

Both the buses and the office were alleged to be burnt by some improvised explosive device, IEDs, as report claims. According to the report, Mr. Ogara claimed the Improvised Explosive Devices were used to destroy his buses and campaign office by hoodlums he said he does not know where they came from or who sent them.


According to him, “Improvised Explosive Device, IED, bomb is not a matter a civilian like me can intervene. The police and DSS will investigate that matter.” Mr. Ogara is currently embroiled in a legal battle with his party, APC, for publishing the name of a former senator in the state, Ayogu Eze, as its candidate for the 2019 election. Mr. Ogara who took his party to court is claiming right to the governorship ticket. The case will be up for hearing at a Abuja Federal High Court in Abuja on January 10

A British mum has ban or rather refuses to buy her little boy a Christmas present for life.

“Ho ho ho” has become “no no no” after Lisa Norman got fed up with the festive season becoming “a disgusting exercise in rampant consumerism”.

Research shows a typical family splurges £540 on Christmas. But when two-year-old Neil wakes up on Tuesday, there will be no stocking at the end of his bed – and no presents under the tree.

Instead Lisa, 31, is putting money into an account that will go towards a deposit for Neil’s first HOUSE.

As well as snubbing Christmas she doesn’t buy Neil a prezzie on his birthday either.
