at No 293B Agbani road, Enugu, has been killed by the house help on May
6, over issues of fund diversion. Joseph Ijeh, the prime suspect, had
lived with the deceased for over twenty years as a house help.

his ability to run the beer parlour until recently when the proprietress
noticed that he (Joseph) had not been rendering proper account.
On
the ill fated day, Agnes had beckoned on Joseph to render account of
sales made during the period in review. This however infuriated Joseph
and went for a kill.
According to the Police
Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, “Unknown to
Agnes, rather than furnish her with the account, Joseph armed with
pestle, hit Agnes at the back of the head and she died immediately.
“The
suspect hid the corpse in one of the rooms for days before the
operatives got wind of the crime. They swung into action and arrested
the suspect who has confessed to the crime.”

Norway regrets selling warships to ex-Niger Delta militant, Tompolo
as reported by Primetimes
Norwegian Defence Chief, Haakon Bruun-Hansen, an admiral, has apologised to the country’s lawmakers for the sale of a fleet of a decommissioned naval battleships and combats boats to a former Niger Delta militant, Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo.
Mr. Ekpemupolo was the leader of one of the several militias in the Niger Delta region that led a devastating campaign of violence against the Nigerian state for several years until he was awarded a multi-billion pipeline protection contract by the out-going Goodluck Jonathan administration as part of an amnesty deal with ex-combatants.
After giving up fighting, surrendering his arms, and leading his men to hand over their weapons, Tompolo in 2012 received at least six decommissioned Norwegian battleships, a Norwegian newspaper, Daglabet, found in December.
Among them were six fast-speed Hauk-class guided missile boats, now re-armed with new weapons.
The most recent hardware was the KNM Horten, a fast-attack craft allegedly used for anti-piracy patrol in the Nigerian waters.
Daglabet reported that the sale was implemented through a shell maritime Security Company based in the United Kingdom, CAS Global.
CAS Global was used to evade a requirement by Norway that arms dealers obtain export license from their country’s foreign affairs ministry, the report adds.

I will investigate the missing $20billion-General Buhari
Nigeria President-elect General Muhammodu Buhari has confirmed that he would probe the missing $20Billion from the pocket of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation NNPC

What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about" he said in Hausa
