Three policemen feared killed in Lagos

Three policemen may have been killed in an accident which occurred when they were chasing a motorcyclist at Cement Bus Stop on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, Lagos, on Friday.

Eyewitnesses told our correspondent that the accident, which occurred early in the morning, involved riot policemen.

A vulcaniser, who has his workshop close to the scene, told our correspondent that if not because he arrived at his shop late, he would have witnessed the accident as it happened right in front of where he plies his trade.

The man, who pleaded anonymity, said, “I got here and saw people discussing the accident.

“I was told that the policemen were in a Rapid Response Squad van. The van was chasing an okada rider, who was riding against the traffic and heading to Oshodi. The rider carried two passengers.

“They had almost caught the rider when he escaped through a side street. The police van lost control as the driver, who was on high speed, applied the brake suddenly. The van ran into a stationary bus.

“The policemen at the back of the van were flung out. I heard that the lifeless bodies of three of the policemen were taken away from here.”

Saturday PUNCH learnt from other residents of the area that when the policemen were flung out of the van, some of them might have hit their head on the culvert by the road.

Spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide, told our correspondent on the telephone that it was a minor accident.

“The information you got is wrong. The policemen heeded a distress call and were hit from the back by a bus.

“Two of the policemen sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. They have since been discharged.”

How 75-yr-old disarmed four kidnappers

Chief Olabanji Akingbule, 75, the Odunwo of Ondo, Ondo State, has narrated how he disarmed and captured four kidnappers who attempted to abduct him.

The septuagenarian spoke with Daily Sun: “I was inside my house on the fateful day and dressing up to go out when my wife informed me that policemen had arrested my son. When I peeped through the veranda and saw the people, I told my wife that they might not be policemen, but kidnappers. “

They were four in number. Two of them were inside a Golf car parked at the front of my house, while the rest came upstairs to meet me. They introduced themselves as kidnappers. The two that came upstairs held a gun each.

One of them made attempt at dragging me downstairs, while the other one was with my wife who was shouting on top of her voice. An attempt was made to drag her inside the house by the one that was close to her.

However, as luck would have it, the noise she made attracted people in the neighborhood. “Although, they made spirited effort to carry me, but by the special grace of God, I insisted that I was not going to follow them.

In the process, the one close to me brought a white substance that was kept inside a bottle and asked me to inhale it. When I refused, he wanted to pour it on my head.

“I summoned courage and used my right hand to block it. As a result, both the bottle and the gun fell off his hands downstairs. When they noted the presence of people, the two men ran out of the house to join their colleagues.

”When I saw that he took another direction where he would not be in position to find the gun and the white substance, I moved to the place and picked up the two items.

I called the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Funbi-Fagun division, Mrs. Joyce Maiyaki-Matthew, who responded immediately.

“I thank God for saving my life, and my late mother, Madam Esther Ogunhinmola Akingbule, who trained me on how to be courageous. If I was not courageous enough, I might not be able to disarm the  kidnappers who came with gun and very giant in height,” he told Daily Sun.

Work Begins On Onitsha Shoprite.

At last, construction work has started on the Onitsha branch of popular South African retail company Shoprite. Onitsha, the famous trading town, is the economic capital of Anambra State in South-East Nigeria.

Speaking today during an inspection of the project, the state governor, Mr. Peter Obi, promised that his administration would expand parts of the road in the area to further widen the access road to the International Shopping Mall.

New silicone breast implants debut

Good news for breast “MistaQB” as the revolutionary MemoryShape breast implants have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for breast augmentation in women aged 22 and older, and also for breast reconstruction.

In a news release, the manufacturer, Mentor Worldwide LLC, said the implants have been approved outside of the United States for more than a decade. The product is available in a range of sizes and is tear-drop shaped to mimic the natural shape of a breast.

The product, which is very likely to be available in Africa and possibly – Nigeria – has been clinically studied among 955 augmentation and reconstruction patients participating in an ongoing 10-year study.

However, after six years, the study has found a low rate of “adverse events” including rupture/

The FDA said that it’s approval was based on six years of data from 95 women showing a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for this implant. Mentor’s MemoryShape Breast Implant showed similarrates of complications and outcomes as previously approved breast implants.

These complications included tightening of the area around the implant, re-operation, implant removal, an uneven appearance(asymmetry), and wrinkling. Fissures or cracks were observed in the gel of some MemoryShape Breast Implants, a characteristic called gel fracture.

According to Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, “It’s important to remember that breast implants are not lifetime devices. Women should fully understand the risks associated with breast implants before considering augmentation or reconstruction surgery, and they should recognize that long-term monitoring is essential.”

Breast implant surgery should not be performed on women with any
active infection, untreated cancer or who are pregnant or nursing.

With this approval, there are now five FDA-approved silicone
gel-filled breast implants available in the United States manufactured
by three companies: Allergan, Mentor and Sientra.

4 mind games women play on men - Guys becareful

There’s no woman on this planet who hasn't mastered the art of getting late for a date or making her man wait endlessly. Women derive fun from this.

Women are known to be the torchbearers of mind games! But jokes apart, men will definitely acknowledge the fact that women do know the game better than them.

The waiting game 
There’s no woman on this planet who hasn’t mastered the art of getting late for a date or making her man wait endlessly. Women derive fun from this. It not only makes her feel important but also dominant in the relationship!

The bait game
The bait game is common amongst most women in their 20s or 30s. The forever question of asking your boyfriend/husband whether you look fat in a particular dress is something most of us constantly do on a day-to-day basis. If he says yes, you immediately seek recluse. But if he says a no, then you end up feeling that he just doesn’t care.

The ‘hard to get’ game
This is one game each and every woman plays in the beginning of her relationship, irrespective of the age. A woman does this to simply either put off the guy, make herself feel important or test his worth.

The ‘dumb game’
Most women know that they are better at maths than her crush but still prefer to play dumb! For example, even if she knows how to connect the wire to the TV, she would love to play dumb and ask the guy to do it for her.

These are just a few mind games that women love to play on men to get him to do things she expects out of him.

PHOTOS: Igbo Man To Be A Mayor In The City of Detroit in Michigan.

John Olumba, presently a State of Michigan House Representative is a 31-year-old Nigerian and is running for the post of mayor in the city of Detroit in Michigan.

He is a lawyer, an ordained pastor and is the first man with Nigerian roots to be elected to the state office in Michigan's history.

In a recent interview he stated that his father hails from Owerri in Imo State and he wants to lead the troubled city into an age of revival.

But he questions the record of some of the candidates. “Are we going to go with someone who’s been a part of the political establishment? Across the United States, part of the slogan was ‘forward.’ It’s time for people to stop looking backward,” he said.

The newcomer to the mayoral race says he’s not worried about the other candidates and says he represents innovation. His plan for the city, he says, is trilateral: a war on poverty, corruption and crime according to him, all go hand in hand.

32 dead as gunmen raid 3 villages in plateau killing students writing neco exams

About 32 people have been killed in three villages in Langtang South Local Government Area of Plateau State in an attack allegedly coordinated by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

The attackers allegedly invaded Bolgang, Karkashi and Magama villages on Wednesday morning, shooting indiscriminately.

They were said to have gone with motorbikes after those that tried to escape.

Some of those killed were said to be students writing their National Examinations Council, NECO, examinations, while several houses and vehicles were burnt.

It was learnt that the attack was launched from nearby Shikal village, where they reportedly gathered days earlier.

Majority of those killed at Magama were said to be the aged and children, while nine people were reported killed at Bolgang, which was completely razed.

‘I lost my mother, brother’

Chairman of the Provincial Church Council of COCIN, Rev. Nandip Miri, said he lost his aged father and brother in the attack, adding that the exact number of those killed was yet to be ascertained.

He said: “We cannot know the actual number of people that lost their lives as we are still picking dead bodies from the bush. The attackers followed the victims on motorcycles, killing them mercilessly as they tried to escape.

“So many dead bodies were found in the bush and more may still be discovered later.”

Over 100 houses razed

Chairman, Management Committee for Langtang South Local Government Area, Mr. Narman Darko, confirmed on phone, yesterday, that 32 people were killed and over a hundred houses razed in the three villages.

He said 23 people were killed at Magama, seven at Bolgan, while two corpses were found between Karkashi and Magama.

He said members of the Special Task Force have moved to the troubled area to forestall further attacks and urged the people to be security-conscious and to report suspicious movements to security men.

Rep reacts

Member representing Lantang South in the Plateau State House of Assembly, Mrs. Joyce Ramnap, who raised the issue at the house, yesterday, said no security assistance came the way of his constituents for hours, while the attackers operated.

However, police said they were yet to get details of the attack when contacted.

wtf! as nelson mandela fights for his life in hospital, his family fights in court over burial location

As Nelson Mandela fights for his life in hospital, his relatives are pitted against each other in a legal battle, reportedly over where members of the family should be buried.

On Friday, sixteen members of the Mandela family brought an urgent application to a regional court, reportedly to force Mandela’s grandson Mandla to return remains of family members to a plot in the ancestral village where Mandela has said he wants to be buried.

Mandla, a local chief in nearby Mvezo, had exhumed the remains of three of Mandela’s children in Qunu in 2011 and brought them to his village, allegedly without the consent of the rest of the family.

“I have been instructed by the 16 family members including (daughters) Makaziwe and Zindzi to take action against Mandla,” the family lawyer Wesley Heyes said.

Heyes refused to comment on the reason for the legal tussle, but local media said it was about a long-running feud over the remains.

“We can’t say anything further due to the sensitivity of the case,” said Heyes.

The court was told that a sheriff delivered the paper to Mandla’s homestead and found the gates locked. The papers were nailed to the gate after several unsuccessful attempts to hand them over.

“The sheriff hooted and called Mandla on his phone, which was not answered,” said one of the Mandela lawyers David Smith.

Mandla’s spokesman Freddy Pilusa said he was not able to comment on the case.

“He hasn’t been served with those papers so he wouldn’t be able to comment.”

The controversial removal of graves has recently came into the spotlight following reported family squabbles over the final resting place of the ailing Mandela.

The hastily removed graves belonged to Mandela’s eldest son Thembekile who died in 1969, his nine-month-old infant Makaziwe who passed away in 1948, and Mandla’s own father Magkatho who died from an AIDS related illness in 2005.

The trio were reburied under the cover of darkness in Mvezo, in a ceremony overseen by Mandla.

The issue of the graves was also at the centre of a family meeting earlier this week.

On Thursday local media reported that Makaziwe, Mandela’s oldest daughter, was granted permission by a chief in Qunu to have the remains repatriated. Mandla had reportedly argued Mandela should be buried in Mvezo.

mother abandons baby in hospital

Health workers and patients at the Osun State General Hospital, Osogbo were left confused on Friday when a nursing mother, Mrs Grace Adipe, allegedly abandoned her three-day-old baby in the hospital.
The hospital community was taken aback as the news of the abandonment spread.
A woman, Adijat Bamijoko, told NAN that she was in the hospital to assist a patient when the incident occurred on Thursday, and wondered “how a nursing mother could abandon her child.
“Although, I do not know the woman, but one wonders why she should abandon her baby in the hospital where Gov. Rauf Aregbesola had made medication free for all,” she said.
Other people who expressed surprise over the incident, called on the hospital’s management to ensure that the fleeing mother was brought back to care for her baby.
Search team , including government officials and law enforcement agents had failed in their effort to find the woman.
The Osun Commissioner for Women and Children’s Affairs, Mrs Mofolake Adegboyega, said in a statement that efforts to contact the woman by the hospital authorities were yet to yield results.
Adegboyega called Adipe’s relations and members of the public to be vigilant on the whereabouts of the woman.
She urged members of the public to consider the innocence and future of the child and help in efforts to find the mother and her relations.
The commissioner said that any information about Adipe’s whereabouts should be directed to the nearest police station or the Director of Social Welfare in the ministry, Mrs Grace Adegoke.

rick ross sued for not paying $90,000 bill on three rolexes

Rick Ross is being sued for neglecting to pay quite a large bill for three Rolexes.

Rick Ross definitely loves himself some nice gold jewelry, whether it’s chains, watches, or rings, he’s not often seen without some sort of accessory. However, he seems to have forgotten to pay for some of that expensive bling. Ross lapsed on a $90,000 payment for three Rolexes he bought last year.

Reports has it that Rozay is being sued for not paying the large bill. Johnny’s Custom Jewelry in Texas filed the suit against the Bawse and his MMG company, claiming that Ross agreed to purchase three rollies in August of last year for the amount of $89,847.50.

Johnny says Ricky Rozay bought one 18K gold watch with 30CT of diamonds ($55,000), one 18K gold watch with 7CT of diamonds ($14,000), and one two-tone watch with 5CT of diamonds ($14,000).

Johnny says he delivered on the watches however the MMG rapper did not deliver on the payment. Johnny now wants to be paid for the watches, plus interest.

women now drug men and steal their valuables in florida.

South Florida authorities are asking for the public’s help to find four “foxy thieves” they say are drugging men they pick up at high-end bars and stealing tens of thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry, guns and other valuables.

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office released photos of the four suspects, all in their 20s, and have attained arrest warrants for them. Investigators suspect there may be more women involved in the ring.
“They’re attractive women that go into a bar and they have a scam and they work it again and again,” said Dani Moschella, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office.
The scam works like this: go to an upscale bar, flirt with a middle-age or older man wearing expensive jewelry, go back to his home, slip a drug in his drink, rob him and leave before he wakes up.
This is what Subhanna Beyah, 25, Johnnina Miller, 25, Keshia Clark, 27 and Ryan Elkins, 23, have allegedly been doing for the past few months in upscale bars in South Florida.
Investigators have identified four of the women’s victims, Moschella said, adding that they believe other victims “haven’t come forward because they’re embarrassed.”
“This investigation is by no means over,” she added. “We anticipate identifying other suspects and other victims.”
Scott Rosen, 54, told CNN two of the suspects paired up when they worked the scam on him. Rosen said met the two women at YOLO, a popular bar in Fort Lauderdale’s business district, and the three left the bar for his house. There, Rosen said, one of the women distracted him while the other made him a drink.
“I got drugged,” Rosen said.
The next thing Rosen remembers is waking up to discover over $250,000 worth of his personal items gone — handguns, diamonds and a Rolex watch he was wearing — along with the women.
“It could have been worse,” he noted. “They could have shot me with my own handgun.”
The women, who allegedly used fake names during their ruses, are each being charged with one count of grand theft. Broward County authorities are eager to get these women in custody. The sheriff’s office has joined with Crime Stoppers to offer a $1,000 reward for anonymous tips that lead to an arrest.
“We really want to get these women off the street … because they’re drugging their victims, presumably,” Moschella said. “We don’t know how long it will be before they end up killing somebody accidentally.”

british pm stops plans for £3,000 bond from nigerians, others

David Cameron has slammed the brakes on government plans to demand a £3,000 migrant bond from “high risk” overseas visitors after news of the policy provoked uproar in Delhi and threatened his attempt to boost trade links with India.

The prime minister’s allies said Mr Cameron had “not signed off” details of the policy – trailed in Sunday newspapers – while Lib Dem and Tory business ministers warned that the idea would be damaging to Britain’s economic interests.

Mr Cameron has told Theresa May, home secretary, that he will not sanction any policy that undermines his growth agenda or the “open for business” message he delivered on a recent trip to India.

“The prime minister has not cleared this policy,” said one ally. “He doesn’t want to do anything that cuts across the message he took to India.”

Although Downing St said pilot studies involving the use of migrant bonds – or deposits – for some visitors would go ahead, neither Mr Cameron nor Nick Clegg, his Lib Dem deputy, have agreed the scope of the scheme or the size of the bonds.

Mr Cameron is especially keen that the pilot study targets “high risk” individuals and is not seen as being aimed at any particular country.

Ms May wanted the trial of a £3,000 bond to begin in November, levied on short-term visitors from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Ghana.

Vince Cable, Lib Dem business secretary, has expressed concerns about the proposal and his anxiety is shared by David Willetts, Tory science minister. Mr Cable raised the issue in cabinet on Tuesday, saying he was concerned the home office was misrepresenting the pilots as a way of bringing down net migration.

The Home Office said on Tuesday the November pilot would be “highly selective”, focusing only on those visitors from India and other countries thought to present a “residual risk” of overstaying. “Any pilot will not apply to all visitors from the selected countries and the vast majority of visitors will not need to pay a bond,” a spokeswoman said.

It is understood those who have already visited the UK would not be subject to the levy.
“It is certainly a stupid move, but it is also extremely bad public diplomacy”

- Brahma Chellaney, New Delhi-based strategic affairs analyst

However, tour operators were dismayed at the introduction of any type of deposit system and complained they had not been consulted.

“This doesn’t exactly garland the welcome message we are extending to India and other countries,” said Tom Jenkins, chief executive of the European Tour Operators Association. “This really seems disproportionate to the threat. It feels the inbound market is being sacrificed to a domestic political agenda.”

Mary Rance, chief executive of trade body UKinbound, said: “It would be a very incongruous step to take at this time, when we are in open dialogue about trying to improve the process \[for visitors]. It should be easier rather than \[more] difficult for visitors.”

The proposals have been badly received in India’s business community, with executives used to travelling freely to London echoing the vociferous complaints of the nation’s leading trade bodies.

“In simple terms, it’s madness,” said Tarun Kataria, Mumbai-based chief executive of investment bank Religare Capital India. “It would create endless degrees of uncertainty, and such a large sum of money is bound to have an impact on the number of people going to Britain from India.”

The move led to demands on Tuesday for a tit-for-tat response from India’s government, including an article on FirstPost, a widely read news site, headlined “Why India must retaliate against UK £3,000 visa bond” and editorials in leading newspapers calling for a rethink.

Security analysts said the move was likely to undermine Mr Cameron’s attempts to deepen the UK’s bilateral relationship with Asia’s third-largest economy.

“It is certainly a stupid move, but it is also extremely bad public diplomacy. It will raise a hue and cry here,” says Brahma Chellaney, a strategic affairs analyst at New Delhi’s Centre for Policy Research think tank.

“It really just doesn’t make any sense. It will have detrimental effect on the UK-India relationship, and it will create a bad image for the UK in India, and also uproar elsewhere in the world.”

ritual killers sentenced to death by hanging in imo state

Barely 2 days ago, 4 people believed to be armed robbers were executed by hanging in Benin, Edo State, now is another four on death row waiting to be hanged also.

Justice Chukwuemeka Ohakwe of Owerri High Court on Tuesday sentenced seven persons to death for murder of one Okechukwu Osuji on May 11, 2001
The offence was contrary to Section 319 (1) of the Criminal Code Cap 30 Volume 11 laws of the Eastern Nigeria 1963 applicable to Imo State.

The condemned persons include:

Ejike Okoro

Cajetan Okoro

Rapheal Ike

Paul Njoku

Eric Igbo

Chidiebere Njoku

Anyanwuchukwu Unamba. 

Justice Ohakwe also discharged and acquitted the third, sixth and seventh accused persons (Uchenna Udeh, Ikechukwu Ukonu and Boniface Okoro) for lack of evidence.

In his judgment, the trial judge said: “From the evidence by the prosecution, there is no evidence except the confessional statement by the first accused person (Ejike Okoro) linking the third, sixth and seventh accused persons with the murder.”

According to him, the confessional statement of the first accused person was not binding on them and they were therefore discharged and acquitted. He said the prosecution had established the offence of murder of Okechukwu Osuji on May 11, 2001 against the first, second, third, fifth, eighth, ninth and 10th accused persons, stating that they had been found guilty of offence of murder. He therefore sentenced each of the accused persons to death by hanging.

Ohakwe said the prosecution had an overwhelming evidence that members of a secret cult killed the victim in a thick forest along Toronto-Egbu Road in Owerri North Local Government Area of the state on the fateful day and collected his brain for ritual purposes.

The accused persons who were caught by the police in an uncompleted building during their evil act all hail from Owalla Uratta in Owerri North Local Government Area.

photographer drags 2face, wife to court unprepared…smiles foolishly as judge goes mad.

Justice Mohammed Idris of  the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has fixed  October 16, 2013 for the commencement of trial in a N120 million copyright suit filed against popular music  star, Innocent Idibia, a.k.a. TuFace, his wife, Annie Idibia and their manager, Anthonio Anifite over  photographs allegedly taken at the recent traditional wedding of the musician and his wife in Akwa Ibom State.
Abuja based photographer, Emmanuel Okolo, who is the plaintiff in the suit alongside his studio, Papilonmexy  filed suit against the defendants.
He is asking for six reliefs, two of which include N100 million in general damages and N20million in exemplary damages.
At the resumed hearing of the case yesterday, neither TuFace nor his wife was represented in court. Anifite who is the second defendant was however represented by his counsel, J.O Uttute.
Meanwhile, a mild drama ensued when the judge openly admonished Uttute after the latter claimed that he had filed his defence when he had not done so.
The judge warned him not to come to this court again if he was not prepared for the case.  “You told me that you have filed your response, but looking through here, there is nothing to that effect. And you are even smiling. Do you think you are here to joke? Never come to this court again if you are not prepared. You don’t even know when the case was filed and you are not prepared for it,” said the judge.
Also,  the plaintiff’s counsel,  Habeeb Oredola expressed worry over the defendants’ inability to appear before the court  or  be represented by a counsel after they were served with the writs of summon.
In the writ of summon, Okolo and his studio claimed they were contracted by TuFace’s wife through a third party, identified as Ms Chineze Anyaene to take photo shots at the traditional wedding held in Eket, Akwa Ibom state in March, 2013.
The plaintiff said, he was reluctant at the beginning since the offer was coming through a third party, but later accepted after he was convinced that the offer was actually with the blessing of the first defendant.
Annie Idibia was said to have later contacted the photographer after the wedding and demanded for the printing of 10 of the high resolution pictures taken.

Make A Call While Driving And Be Jailed - FRSC Warns

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has announced a newly adopted strategy that would ensure that any person caught using the mobile phone while driving, would no longer be fined but immediately taken to court and jailed.

Corp Marshal, FRSC, Mr. Osita Chidoka said other offences like speed driving, dangerous overtaking and overloading would equally attract court action instead of the usual fines.

The FRSC boss, who was speaking at a news conference in Abuja, said these new measures are part of a newly launched campaign to reduce the increased spate of road crashes in the country.

Commercial bus drivers are now expected to install speed limit devices in their vehicles so they henceforth should not exceed 100km per hour.

National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) however admitted that some drivers are guilty of the aforementioned road accident causing crimes.

The FRSC says it is partnering with several organizations including oil companies to fulfill its promise to make Nigerian roads one of the safest in the world by the year 2020.

Bomb found at new stadium in Stockholm

Police confirmed an operational device was discovered outside the new Tele2 arena ahead of a charity match scheduled to be played on Thursday

Allsvenskan clubs Hammarby and Djurgarden have been summoned to a crisis meeting after a bomb was found outside the new stadium they are due to share.

An explosive device was discovered on Thursday prior to a charity match at the new Tele2 arena in Stockholm, in which a Djurgarden masters side was due to compete.

"According to our technicians, it was operational and not a dummy," police spokesman Sven-Olof Olsson told reporters in Sweden.

Disputes had surfaced between sets of supporters ahead of the match, with some Hammarby fans claiming their rivals were attempting to hijack the opening of the new ground before the first official clash betweenBajen and Orgryte on Saturday.

Djurgarden strongly denied the suggestion, insisting the charity match was simply a useful test for the new venue.

"It was a test event," Djurgarden's communications manager Gunnar Gidelfeldt told Sportbladet.

"We did not inaugurate the stadium. A premiere is supposed to be an important football game."

The match was cancelled after the device was found, and both clubs have since been called to an emergency meeting with police.

NAFDAC Uncovers Market Where Drugs Are Sold In “Mudus” -

The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration Control (NAFDAC)  has stated that those who specialise in selling fake and adulterated drugs have invaded local markets in Niger State.

To check this, the most prominent of the market near the state capital, Minna, the popular Beji Market, was  yesterday raided and drugs of assorted forms were confiscated by the Agency.

Niger State Coordinator of the Agency, Mr. Dadi Mulak, who led the raid said those selling the drugs to unsuspecting public were merchants of death, saying that it was discovered that drugs were even sold and measured like grains in an open market.  

He disclosed that in Beji village market, large quantities of various dangerous drugs were found on display for unsuspecting buyers and were capable of killing many if not checked.

Mulak declared: “We regard them as merchants of death and the cartel members sell the fake drugs like tomatoes in these markets. In some markets, the fake drug dealers sell Paracetamol tablets in ‘mudu’ measurements to the villagers”.

While saying that the situation is pitiable and disheartening, he wondered why the fake drug dealers have decided to make local markets their target.

With the upsurge of the fake drugs in circulation in the rural market, he stated that the Agency has decided to step up surveillances in village markets to check circulation and sales of fake drugs.

 Mulak stated that the surveillance has become necessary in view of the facts that the fake drug dealers have devised strategy to avoid arrest and therefore, urged the people to stop purchasing drugs in an open market.

The Coordinator said the best place to buy drugs were pharmacy and certified patent medicne stores based on medical prescriptions.

Common Unnoticed Causes Of Kidney Ailments.

1. Not emptying your bladder early: Maintaining a full bladder for a long time is a quick way of causing bladder damage. That the urine stays in the bladder for a long time can cause the bacteria breeding in urine to multiply quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to ureter and kidneys, the bacteria can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infection, and then nephritis, even Uremia.
So, no matter how busy you are, remember to drink a lot of water and urinate regularly. Once you form the habit of holding back urine, it will ultimately damage your kidneys.

2. Not drinking enough water: The main functions of the kidneys are to regulate erythrocyte balances and eliminate metabolic wastes in urine. If we do not drink enough water, the blood will be concentrated and the blood flow to the kidney will not be adequate, thus the function of eliminating toxins in from blood will be impaired.

3. Taking too much salt: 95% sodium we consume through food is metabolized by the kidneys. Exceeding the salt intake will make the kidneys work harder to excrete the excess salt and can lead to decreased kidney function. This excess sodium will cause water retention, causing edema. Edema usually elevates blood pressure and increases the risk of developing kidney disease. The daily salt intake should be controlled within 6g per day.

4. Not treating common infections quickly and properly: Common infections, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, common cold etc, usually triggers or aggravates kidney damage. They do this by causing an acute attack of acute glomerulonephritis or chronic nephritis. So, you will see that people who get kidney disease for the first time or whose illness condition becomes worse usually present in hospitals with a history of cold or sore throat.
If after having cold, symptoms like blood in urine, swelling, headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, poor appetite appear, you should consult your doctor immediately, to assess your kidney functions, and start treatment if compromised.

5. Eating too much meat: Eating too much meat and protein can increase the metabolic load of the kidney. For those suffering from proteinuria, meat consumption too may aggravate protein leakage, worsening renal pathological lesion.
It is suggested that protein intake should be 0.8g/kg per day. This means that a person with 50 kg should consume 40g of protein per day. Meat consumption per day should be limited within 300g.

6. Not eating enough: This is equally as dangerous as eating too much, both of them will lead damages to your digestive organs where is full of mucosal tissues. Mucosal tissues relates closely to your immune system. This is why many kidney failure patients are diagnosed with “autoimmune kidney damages”.

7. Painkiller abuse: The use of analgesics for a prolonged duration may reduce the flow blood and greatly affect kidney function. In addition, patients with analgesic-induced renal failure are more likely to suffer from bladder cancer.
Use analgesics only when it's absolutely necessary, learn to rest instead of taking to the bottles. If you have been on pain killers for a long term, it's about time you had a test to access you renal function done.

8. Missing your drugs: Hypertension and diabetes have been shown to precipitate or accelerate kidney damage, so if you are diagnosed as having any of these disease don't live your life in denial, USE YOUR DRUGS.
This will ultimately help control your condition while also helping to preserve your kidneys.

9. Drinking too much alcohol: Drinking alcohol without limitation may cause the deposition of uric acid in renal tubules, causing tubular obstruction and increasing risks of kidney failure.

10. Not resting enough: In our society, hypertension as a severe threat to life is largely due to stress. A common symptom of stress is insomnia. Blood pressure may increase by an average of 2-5mg/Hg because of insomnia. Chronically elevated blood pressure can cause damage to kidney capillaries giving rise to kidney problems. Thus, we need to develop a good attitude to life and strike a good balance between work and rest to protect your kidneys and live a healthy life.

At the early stage of kidney diseases, there are usually no the special symptoms, so lots of patients are not diagnosed until the acute attack appears or the illness condition develops into the late stage. So you should endeavor to do kidney function test from time to time to assess how healthy your kidneys are.

Never ignore the soreness of waist, swelling of the feet, changes in urine color or volume, increase in night urination, palor, high blood pressure and other such symptoms. Once found, you should go and see your doctor immediately.

Nigerian Shot After High-Speed Chase In South-Africa

Bloemfontein - A Nigerian man was shot dead after a high-speed car chase through Bloemfontein's streets, Free State police said on Thursday.

The chase ended in Oranjesig when the victim, 43-year-old Chuhudu Obed Obi, lost control of his car and crashed into the gate of a house around 7pm on Wednesday, Captain Chaka Marope said.

One of the men who had been chasing Obi got out of his car, walked over to the injured man - who was trapped in his car - and shot him several times.

When police arrived at the scene, after being called by the home owner, they found Obi dead. He had been shot five times in the stomach, once in the neck and once in the left shoulder.

Police found five empty cartridges on the ground at the accident scene, and one inside the car. Police asked for anyone with information on the murder to contact the Park Road police station. - Sapa

Dana Given Ultimatum To Pay Families Of Crash Victims

The federal government on, on Thursday, gave Dana Airline six months to pay the claims of the families of the victims of the June 3, 2012 plane crash or face sanctions.

Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, gave the ultimatum at the 2013 Ministerial Platform in Abuja.

She said the airline had paid up to 60 per cent of the claims to the victims’ families but experienced a delay due to double claims that needed to be clarified.
“Dana has actually done very well in terms of compensating accident victims,” she said. “The challenge Dana has is that of multiple claims; the multiple claims made it difficult to ascertain who should collect. And until they are able to do that, they will not pay multiple claims and we will continue verifying and re-verifying to ascertain who should be the next of kin to claim the money but I know Dana has done up to 60 per cent.

However, Dana is given to December to pay all; if they fail to pay completely, we would have to sanction them. They are aware of that so I am sure they are accelerating the process.”

The aviation minister said the sector had put up some strategies to ensure that air accidents became things of the past in Nigeria.

She said the government was rendering additional assistance to families of victims of aircraft accident, adding that the approval of the Victim Family Insurance Package (VFAP) had been secured from the Nigerian Insurance Commission (NAICOM).

She said discussions were in progress between NCAA and Zenith Bank on the implementation of the VFAP, while family assistance centre would be established to take care of emergencies.

Skipping breakfast may raise diabetes risk

Skipping breakfast every day may be a bad idea after all especially if

you are overweight because it could increase the risk of developing

diabetes.

A small new study found that when women skipped the morning meal, they

experienced insulin resistance, a condition in which a person

requires more insulin to bring their blood sugar into a normal range,

explained Dr. Elizabeth Thomas, an instructor of medicine at the

University of Colorado.

This insulin resistance was short-term in the study, but when the

condition is chronic, it is a risk factor for diabetes, Thomas said.

She is due to present her findings at the Endocrine Society’s annual

meeting in San Francisco.

“Eating a healthy breakfast is probably beneficial,” Thomas said. “It

may not only help you control your weight but avoid diabetes.”

Diabetes has been diagnosed in more than 10 million Nigerians. Most

have type 2 diabetes, in which the body does not make enough insulin

or does not use it effectively. Excess weight is a risk factor for

diabetes.

The new study included nine women. Their average age was 29, and all

were overweight or obese. Thomas measured their levels of insulin and

blood sugar on two different days after the women ate lunch. On one

day, they had eaten breakfast; on the other day, they had skipped it.

Glucose levels normally rise after eating a meal, and that in turn

triggers insulin production, which helps the cells take in the glucose

and convert it to energy.

However, the women’s insulin and glucose levels after lunch were much

higher on the day they skipped breakfast than on the day they ate it.

On the day they did not eat breakfast, Thomas explained, “they

required a higher level of insulin to handle the same meal.”

“There was a 28 percent increase in the insulin response and a 12

percent increase in the glucose response after skipping breakfast,”

she said. That’s a mild rise in glucose and a moderate rise in

insulin, she noted.

Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and

conclusions are viewed as preliminary until published in a

peer-reviewed journal.

“Their study doesn’t prove causation,” said Dr. Joel Zonszein, a

professor of clinical medicine at the Albert Einstein College of

Medicine and director of the Clinical Diabetes Center at Montefiore

Medical Center, in New York City.

The study found only a link or association between breakfast skipping

and higher insulin levels. More research is needed for confirmation,

another expert said.

“This is a small, but very interesting, study,” said Dr. Ping Wang,

director of the University of California, Irvine, Health Diabetes

Center. “The findings will have to be verified with larger studies.”

Whether the effect is short-term or long-term is not known, Wang said.

Zonszein recommends against either skipping meals or eating very

frequent meals, the so-called nibbling diet. “Studies done in Europe

have shown that a large meal in the middle of the day is better than a

large meal at dinner,” he said.

However, he acknowledged that pattern is more of a habit in Europe

than in the United States. Even so, he advises his patients to eat a

good breakfast, a good lunch and a lighter dinner.

Other ways to reduce diabetes risk, according to the American Diabetes

Association, are to control weight, blood pressure and cholesterol and

to be physically active.
