There were indications on Thursday that members of the terrorist sect, Boko Haram, have abducted about 100 young men from Doron Baga, a community in Borno State. There were fears also that the abducted young men were being forcefully conscripted by the insurgents into terrorism.

               Lt. Col. Adeboye Obasanjo, one of the many sons of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, was shot by Boko Haram members in Mubi today.
According to reports, he sustained serious injuries to his legs and has been transported to the hospital.


Adeboye Obasanjo, an army engineer, was a Lieutenant Colonel at the 3rd Division in Jos, Plateau State.
He and his platoon were engaged with Boko Haram militants at Baza, which is the village of the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 3rd division when the incident took place.
The Lieutenant Agwu of the 234 battalion, GOC of the 3rd Division, Major Gen JS Zaruwa and Colonel Victor Ebhaleme who serves as the Brigade Commander of the 23rd Army brigade in Yola were all together advancing towards Michika when Boko Haram fighters unleashed the deadly attack on the soldiers.
24 soldiers in the platoon were reportedly killed by the militants.
 Apart from the dead soldiers, the army also lost an armored tank to the militants.
As a result of the attack, the army has moved sensitive weapons from mubi to the Brigade headquarters in Yola leaving mubi vulnerable to attack. The town of Mubi has practically been deserted following the closure of schools and massive retreat of soldiers from the city.
The former president is currently traveling in Singapore according to family sources.

According to reports, the Federal Government might be making plans to ban the sale and consumption of hides and skins, commonly known as “pomo”.

Vanguard reports that the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina called for a stronger check on the consumption and sale of the
product.Adesina reportedly made this known at the 3rd joint anniversary of the Animal Science Association of Nigeria (ASAN) and Nigeria Institute of Animal Science held
at the University of Ibadan.

He said that this would enable farmers make a bigger profit because they would able to turn the hides and skins into leather.

Adesina said: I am confident that the satisfactory production levels achieved in the poultry and swine segments will soon stretch to reach other commodities such as beef, dairy, micro livestock and animal by products such as leather, bones, hides and skins.

The drive to turn Agriculture into business and not merely a way of life is now in full gear, with the use of mobile phones and e-wallet for input distribution directly to farmers, farmer’s registration with biometric identity cards and the Growth Enhancement Support scheme.

                  A 23-year-old National Diploma, ND, student of Mass Communication Department, Ibarapa Polytechnic, narrated how she was r*aped under a tree by one of the security men attached to Operation Burst set up by Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State to check criminality in the state.
                 The incident was said to have happened in Eruwa from 10.30 pm on August 29 this year while she was returning after seeing off a friend.

She said she was r*aped repeatedly for five hours before she was let off the hook by the ra*pist soldier.

According to her, the soldier allegedly ordered her to climb the motorcycle while threatening to stab her with a knife.She said:
“It happened on Friday, August 29, 2014. I was coming back to my room after seeing off a friend. He accused me of being a cultist for moving about around that time, but I denied it. He then ordered me to climb his motorcycle, but I pleaded with him that he should let me go.He removed a knife and said that he would stab me if I refused to obey him. So scared, I climbed the Okada and he took me to the Operation Burst office in Eruwa.When we got there, he forcefully led me to a dark area under a tree and ordered me to remove my dress to enable him see if I had tattoos on my body.I told him I did not have tattoos and that he should let me go. He then removed the knife again and said that he would slaughter me like a ram if I failed to ‘cooperate’ and that I would be buried like many other girls who had failed to cooperate in the past, and nobody would trace my death to him.Sensing danger, I removed my clothes. He ordered me to lie down under the tree and had se*x with me several times while I was crying.He ra*ped me till 3.30 am and I complained of catching cold. He entered into the office and brought out a bottle of beer. He gave it to me to hold for him.Later he said he was going to bring a blanket for me to cover my body. I waited for about 30 minutes, but when he did not return, I dressed up and ran away.”

The victim’s counsel, Mr. Adeosun, confirmed her story, saying:
 “In the morning of Saturday, August 30, 2014, the victim called her parents on the telephone and told them what happened. It was the parents that came to brief our office. We thereafter advised that the victim should report to the Police Station at Eruwa, which she did.When the matter was reported to the security outfit, the girl identified the ra*pist among other security operatives paraded before her.

 To worsen her ordeal, the Eruwa General Hospital where she went for test did not help matter.According to her, on arrival in the hospital, the doctor she met told her to buy hand gloves which she did.

She said:
“The doctor told me to lie down and use his phone torchlight to examine my private part and wrote a report that although there was no trace of semen, the private part had been tampered with.”

 It was gathered that the doctor claimed he could not carry out test on the inner part of the vagina because the hospital did not have the facilities to carry out such test.

The victim’s lawyer said a soldier called him at 8.25 pm on Sunday informing him that the Army had commenced court martial trial on the indicted soldier, but that the student must appear to testify.

Responding, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Dr. Festus Adedayo, quoted the security outfit as saying it had recommended the suspect for disciplinary measure for abandoning his duty post.In a statement issued by the outfit’s Second in Command, CSP Elijah Bawa,
 “immediately the outfit was informed of the allegation of ra*pe against the said soldier, he dispatched an investigation team to Eruwa.

“The team met with the Divisional Police Officer for the Eruwa Division, DSP Kayode Adigun who disclosed that the 23-year old Mass Communication student of the school lodged a complaint with the command that she had been r*aped by the soldier who was also an operative of the anti-crime outfit.

“The outfit’s Second in Command and the DPO took the complainant to the Eruwa General Hospital for medical examination, the result of which they said proved negative.

“The soldier will, however, be charged for abandoning his duty post in the night without permission against standing instructions in the Operation Burst’s code of conduct,” he said.

 

The portal YourTango represented by the lady-journalist decided to address all women around the world and explain why men cheat and how to prevent such development.
What are the common reasons for the indecent behaviour? He wants more spice in his s ex life, he is bored, he lacks attention from his second half, he wants to exercise his freedom or he is just tired of disappointing his partner. Some even attribute it to biological factors that man is meant to procreate with many women for the sake of preserving species.
However in many cases the two partners speak different love languages, which can actually be solved inside the couple, as like all human beings men have an innate need to feel respected and also be a hero for his second half.
These 10 tips will be definitely helpful for any woman in relationships. So, how to prevent him from cheating:
1. Be the one who initiates s ex
S exual relationships is the one of the means to show him he is loved and desired. Do not neglect the physical contact as for our strongest halves desirability is also associated with masculine power and success.
2. Be open for experiments
Do not let comfort and fear of the unknown prevail over you when it concerns new s exual experiences. Allow yourselves to try something new. Unless you do, he might eventually find another woman for experiments. By “new” the author is not saying that you should engage in s exual activity you find repulsive but allow yourself to experience new things with the man you love.
3. Don’t over-accommodate
Sometimes when the woman works hard to become a perfect match for her partner, she becomes too accommodating and might even lose herself. Thus the man ends up in realizing that he got what he had asked for but isn’t sure it’s what he really wants. Have you ever noticed that men get into relationships with a very clear picture of what a perfect woman should be but casually date the “contrasting” women?
4.Too much control
Sometimes we get naughty and try to make our relationships work the way WE want them to be. Thus we engage in destructive relationship habits like complaining, blaming, criticizing, etc. Here you should focus on controlling yourself but not your man.
5. Let him see that you appreciate him
You found the right man, you “got” him, the thing is done – he will be yours forever. Yes? No! Remember, all relationships are voluntary and he can leave any time. Even children is not always a reason for him to stay. So show him your love, tell him about it and make sure your man knows how important he is for you.
6. He needs time for himself
Did you know that some men cheat because they consider it a means of exercising their freedom? To avoid it allow your man time for himself without you. Surely, girls love doing everything together with their second halves, but you should be careful not to monopolize all your guy’s time.
7. Be aware of your emotions
Whether or not we are aware of it, women are masters at using their emotions to communicate volumes without speaking any words. We communicate anger, rage, sadness and disappointment that is received by our partners.
Again, control is the answer. Remember: any person gets tired of being a constant disappointment, not only men!
8. Prioritize your relationship

Often, when a man cheats, you will find the woman is also having an “affair” that’s not s exual, but in the form of prioritizing something else over relationship: job, children or anything that puts her man lower on her totem pole than the first position.
If he is your true love, other thing should fade away and the relationship will still be there if you tend to it carefully.
Of course no article poses a universal solution to the problem, as every relationship is unique and many factors might can contribute to the split in the couple. However we tend to make mistakes and it is important to realize them because so only we can stop repeating them over and over again.
Hopefully this article helped you to make some mental notes for your bond to be sacred and happy!
