Jonathan isn’t bothered about Boko Haram, all his focus is to remove Tambuwal – APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of sabotaging his own
Administration’s war against Boko Haram on the altar of personal vindictiveness and political
desperation, an action that is unbecoming of a self-respecting national leader.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the
party said just because he was so desperate to oust Aminu Tambuwal as the Speaker of House of
Representatives, President Jonathan ensured that the House could not meet as scheduled on Thursday
to consider his request for an extension of the State of Emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States.
”For a President who has severally stated his administration’s commitment to the battle against the
insurgency in the North-east, is it not a cruel irony that he allowed his personal ego and political
desperation to override his sense of propriety, by moving to have Mr. Tambuwal removed instead of
having the House of Representatives sit to consider his request?
”Does anyone need any more evidence that the president’s sole preoccupation is how to win the 2015
elections, rather than the fate of the hundreds of Nigerians who are daily being killed and maimed at the
epicentre of the insurgency? Had he been genuinely committed to the fight against the insurgents, would
the president not have allowed the House to sit to consider his request? How does he feel now that the
entire National Assembly has been shut down because of his capricious action?” it queried.
APC said because of his meddlesomeness in the affairs of another arm of government, and also his
blatant disregard for a court order that the status quo be maintained on the issue of the defection of the
Speaker to the APC, the President on Thursday suffered a moral and political defeat that will hunt him
for a long time to come.
“The plot was simple: The presidency decided to use the reconvening of the House as an opportunity to
remove the Speaker. While Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha was accorded a presidential ride into the
premises of the National Assembly, House Speaker Tambuwal was barred from entry by the hordes of
security agents who have been deployed solely for that purpose.
“Their plan was to ensure that, with Mr. Tambuwal locked out, Ihedioha would preside over the
reconvened House and the Speaker will then be removed. The consideration of the request to extend the
State of Emergency was not important to the Presidency. The fate of the Nigerians who are suffering
from the insurgency, which has displaced 1.5 million people, does not bother the Presidency. All it
wanted is to remove Tambuwal.

Delta EPZ project crisis: Tompolo denies any involvement, blames Uduaghan, Keyamo

Ex-militant Ekpemupolo, (alias Tompolo) has denied any
involvement in the $16 billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ)
project crisis rocking Delta State. In a bid to clear himself of
any wrong doing, Tompolo released a statement today
where he accused the current Delta state governor,
Emmanuel Uduaghan and his predecessor, Jame Ibori of
trying to use the project to collect the land belonging to his
people, the Ijaws of Gbaramatu kingdom.
He also accused human rights lawyer, Festus Keyamo of
being used to blackmail his person. See the long statement
after the cut...
RE: DELTA EPZ AND MATTERS ARISING
MY TAKE IS ON JUSTICE, EQUITY AND FAIRNESS
So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export
Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize
Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas
processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the
hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable
project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially
on the heels of our fight for the need by government to
industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the
oil-rich Niger Delta Region.
Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and
loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being
orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project
to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands
belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri
South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this
regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always
done, to ensure that the voice of reason was raised and
heard by the powers that be. As a peace-loving Kingdom,
the people of Gbaramatu had used all civil and legal means
to ensure that justice was done by the federal government
by not going ahead with the planned ground-breaking
ceremony in the face of clear injustice, unfairness and
inequity.
As a result, many insinuations and perverted comments
have been made by both interested and rented parties to the
effect that ethnic colourations have been brought to the fore
by linking the justifiable postponement of the ground-
breaking to President Goodluck Jonathan’s ‘soft-spot’ for
the Ijaws of Gbaramatu Kingdom.
It should be noted however, that the struggle of the people
Gbaramatu Kingdom for both political and economic rights
pre-dates the Jonathan Presidency. History is replete with
courses of events as far as the struggle of the oppressed
people of Gbaramatu Kingdom is concerned. It is no longer
news to all that our Itsekiri neighbours, using all
advantages of being in government and power since the
time of former governor, Chief James Ibori(whose mother
is Itsekiri) as well as the incumbent governor, Dr Emmanuel
Uduaghan(also an Itsekiri) who both as commissioner and
later Secretary to State Government under Ibori, cannot
insulate himself from the calculated attempt by the
government-backed Itsekiri’s attempts to enslave
Gbaramatu Kingdom.
It should therefore be placed on record that if the belief of
the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in their just and fair
struggle saw them through thick and thin since the time of
Ibori till date, the same spirit still lives on; and such does
not need the ‘soft spot’ of a Nigerian President of Ijaw
extraction to take the people to their rightful place. It was
(still) this belief in a just and fair struggle that in spite of
glaring attempts by both Ibori (then) and Uduaughan (now)
to exterminate the Gbaramatu Kingdom to the advantage of
their kinsmen, I made conscious efforts to respect the
institution they represent. In essence, I refrained from
abusing their persons as some Itsekiri leaders have
mindlessly done in the case of the postponement of the
ground-breaking ceremony by the President.
Perhaps, it is unfortunate to note that all those Itsekiri
leaders, especially Pa J.O. Ayomike who betrayed
uncontrollable and misplaced sentiments by abusing the
person of the president and calling for his resignation would
have achieved better things and indeed, much development
would have come to their impoverished Itsekiri villages if
such energy was deployed to ginger their son, who is now
governor, to bring development to their areas. The
Ayomikes of this world should rather be expressing worry
and bury their heads in shame that the over 12 years of
their sons in government and power in Delta State are more
of curses than blessings to their people. The case of those
vilifying President Jonathan is that of bottled-up anger and
transferred aggression ordinarily targeted at those who
looked the other way in the face of the sufferings of their
people to a man who tried to do justice by listening to all
sides of an issue.
What Does Festus Keyamo Want?
This question has become imperative in view of the rented
roles the Lagos-based Lawyer has played in the last couple
of weeks in the affairs of the state especially as they relate
to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West
Local Government Area of Delta State. Before now, I had
seen Keyamo as a young promising lawyer whose passion
to fight oppression was unquenchable. I see him as a
brother and friend because there is still time for him to
stratify rented and commercialized struggle from
passionate human and civil rights crusade.
As a matter of fact, Keyamo’s continuous linkage with me
to purported attempts close crime is unacceptable to me. At
best, Keyamo knows too well that those whose flair for
injustice I fight against, those who have been severally
linked to murders in Delta State who today are his latter-day
friends, are not men of conscience. As a human rights
lawyer (as claimed by Keyamo), his efforts to unearth the
killers of Onokpite Ogbe were applauded by many, including
me. I was even tempted to disbelieve others when
accusations of ‘unpalatable practices’ trailed Keyamo’s
sudden u-turn to abandon the Onokpite’s case. But today, I
have no reason to disbelieve such against the backdrop of
Keyamo’s role in the orchestrated EPZ Crisis. In the face of
Keyamo’s sudden u-turn in character, it is absurd to ask
him if would have not have done what I did on behalf of my
people should he find himself in my shoes. I therefore find
very curious Keyamo’s attempt to demonize me especially
when it is obvious that since I willingly embraced the
Federal Government Amnesty offer, I have selflessly, at
high risks too, contributed to the enhancement of peace and
security in the entire Niger-Delta Region. I will therefore
urge Keyamo to be on the side of truth and justice rather
than being on the side of injustice because conscience is an
open wound, only the truth can heal it.
Conclusion:
My appeal to all men of conscience is to ensure that justice
and fairness are made the cornerstone of human existence.
Where these do not exist, it will be difficult for society to
make progress. The case of the plight of the people of
Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government
Area of Delta is clear and unambiguous. The precepts for
injustice and ingredients of inequality are daily being
planted by those who find themselves in positions of
authority and influence, especially in Delta State.
It should therefore be known that those who deliberately
drag the name of President Jonathan into this blackmail
game are doing this to perpetuate injustice. This is the crux
of the matter. But little do they know that the struggle has
been an age-long one, predating the president’s
ascendancy to office and through the will of God, my people
have been forging ahead. In the same vein, the struggle
might also post-date President Jonathan unless the issues
of injustice that have continually set the Gbaramatu and
Itsekiri ethnic nationalities against each are permanently
resolved. The Gabramatu people cannot be intimidated by
any resort to blackmail, using ethnic cards. Similarly, I will
not succumb to any cheap blackmail aimed at weakening
my resolve to fight for my people because this is a matter
of conscience and posterity. I shall not waiver even in the
face of threat and intimidation of all sorts until justice is
done.
Thanks and God bless,
SIGNED:
HIGH CHIEF GOVERNMENT EKPEMUPOLO

To All The Single Ladies: 10 Tips for Dating

To all the single ladies out there, see the top ten dating tips to guide you along when choosing a partner.

1. Own your own shit
You are who you are and that’s the end of
the story sister. If you feel compelled to
present yourself as something other than
who you truly are, to have interests that you
don’t really have, to know things you don’t
really know then you are in trouble, my dear.
That facade will only hold up for so long. Be
willing to grow and learn and try new things-
but label them clearly as such. Don’t be a
poser. Know what kind of eggs you like.

2. Don’t be such a drama queen
Seriously. Chill. Out. Don’t take anything
personally, nothing others do is because of
you. Slow your roll, dial it back about 1,000
notches and stop reading into every teeny
tiny little everything. Just as you respond to
things based on what’s going on in your life
and in your head, so do other people. It’s
actually not all about you. Shit. Little “good
news, bad news” delivery here. Yikes.

3. Don’t make assumptions
First impressions are important, whether they
are virtual or in person. However,
misrepresentations happen, and often,
especially via electronic communication.
Sadly, there is no sarcasm font, and
emoticons will only get you so far in
nonverbal response. Additionally, credentials
are just paper— a job, a degree, or a
“pedigree,” so to speak, is only one small
part of a person, it is not who they are. A
degree does not equate intelligence, nor does
the lack of one indicate the opposite. Gather
some facts before drawing conclusions.
However…

4. Be skeptical, but learn to listen (to your gut)
Unless you: a) have endless time on your
hands, b) like spending it running in
circuitous motion, or, more likely, c) enjoy
learning lessons the hard way, listen to your
intuition. Really. If something tells you it’s
not right, it’s probably not. Know the
difference between simply being uneasy
because you are getting out of your comfort
zone and what is legitimately no bueno para
ti. Don’t spend your time trying to make
something work that you know isn’t going to;
things that are meant to be aren’t usually
that complicated (well, unless you make them
that way, in which case, please re-read #2).

5. Always do (be) your best.
This shouldn’t be difficult, it should be easy
to be the best version of yourself around
people with whom you spend time. If it’s not,
then it’s time to move on to something
better. Relationships are about bringing out
the best in each other, not the worst, and not
the person someone else wants you to be.
Just you, the best you, whoever that is
today.

6. Look where you’re going
Leave your past in the past. Seriously. There
is a time and place for viewing the skeletons
in your closet and unpacking your baggage.
First, second, even third dates are not it.
Your past has shaped who you are, it has
shifted your paradigm and your perspective,
but it is neither your present nor your future.
Stop inviting the Ghost of Christmas Past to
dinner with you, nobody likes a third wheel.

7. Be quiet already and stop oversharing
Ask don’t tell, listen more than you talk, and
stop sharing your entire life story in the first
hour. Ditto with explaining yourself—knock it
off. People earn the privilege of hearing your
personal information and story by earning
your trust; save it for the right people. Be
authentic, humble and genuine. Your actions
speak louder than your words, and uh, your
selfies. Photo overshares to new
acquaintances, by the way, come off as a
marketing ploy. Translation: you’re trying too
hard and it’s not hot. Like, not at all.

8. Trust the universe
Everything we do prepares us for something
else, for better and for worse. A bad date
helps us to enjoy a good one, a good
relationship gets us ready for a great one, a
painful or arduous experience tests our
composure, flexibility and resilience. Be
grateful for the opportunities provided, in
whatever form they come. That being said, be
ready to see them; stay open and choose
your concessions carefully. There is a
difference between a compromise and
settling, a big one. If it comes let it come, if it
stays let it stay, if it goes, well, let it go.

9. Don’t go chasing waterfalls
The right person will come at the right time
and for the right reasons. Being overly
responsive or attentive is a bad plan; the
idea of “the chase” isn’t meant to be you
cyberstalking and checking in every hour.
Stop. Now. No. Just no. This means that if
your messaging pattern goes from phone
blowing up to you staring at it, nonstop,
checking to make sure it’s working, you are
pretty much done there, sweetheart. If he
responds intermittently to you, then yeah,
you’re not the only girl in his contact list. Let
that one go. Taken from the mouths of our
wise elders, “Don’t make someone a priority
who treats you like an option.”

10. Plan your escape route carefully
Seriously. I have “rescued” a friend from a
bad date, recently, and while wearing my
“Spiritual Gangster” tank top. It was half
awesome, half hilarious. I personally have
zero problem calling it when I see it (politely
of course), but it’s taken me some solid
practice to learn the art of the graceful exit.
Some things to remember: 1) take a cab if
you can, use a ride sharing app if you really
want to do it right, so you can “call” them
slyly from under the table and then suddenly
“voila!” it’s time to go, no awkward waiting
around, 2) meet for coffee or a drink, not
dinner, and 3) don’t stand someone up,
that’s just bad form (and bad karma). Be
honest with what’s going on. Don’t be an
ass but keep it real (translation, do not have
a friend call you with a fake emergency. I
promise you that is not going to end well).

Crisis Hits PDP As Governors Move Against Chairman Adamu Mu’azu

All is not well within the leadership of the
Peoples Democratic Party as some members
of its National Working Committee are
accusing one another of taking side with
some influential members of the party in
some states concerning the ward congresses
which were held few days ago.
The fresh crisis was threatening the party’s
chances of winning the forthcoming
governorship elections in some states. At
least, six PDP governors were also said to be
angry with the party’s Chairman, Alhaji
Adamu Mu’azu, for allegedly tampering with
the result of the ward congresses in their
states.
One of the NWC members said, “The
party is in a mess. We don’t know
how to handle it even though we are
trying to hide it, because we don’t
want this crisis to affect the chances
of President Goodluck Jonathan in the
election.
“These governors are angry that some
people within us are helping their
enemies to manipulate the result of
the congresses here at the party’s
national headquarters, and they are
spoiling for war.
Among the angry PDP governors are
Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State, Gabriel Suswam
of Benue State, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa
Ibom, Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State and
that of Cross River State, Senator Liyel
Imoke.
Two members of the NWC, who spoke with
Punch on the matter in Abuja on Monday
evening, said that the leadership of the party
was already polarised and it was already
affecting the workings of the party.
They accused some members of the NWC of
working against some governors and that
these governors were already mobilising
against the party’s national leadership.
The governors and another one were said to
be ready for war with the NWC and Mu’azu
over the issue.
The NWC member added, “The governors are
even joining the enemies of Mu’azu now to
see if he could be eased out of office. That
shows the level of disenchantment within the
leadership.”

CJN speaks blaming the Governors for the poor state of this country....

The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Justice
Mariam Aloma Mukhtar has blamed the poor
conditions of service of judges and the
deplorable state of courts in the country on
state governors.
According to her, governors are fond of not
obeying the constitution. She also said that
she was aware that judges of the lower
courts in many states were working under
horrible conditions.
She made the comment at the opening of the
2014 Conference of All Nigeria Judges of the
Lower Courts organized by the National
Judicial Institute (NJI).
While these problems are existent, Mukhtar
appealed to judges and magistrates in the
country not to use it as an excuse to
perpetrate fraud or indulge in other dishonest
dealings.
“Some customary and area courts sit in
rented apartments. I am also aware that in
some states, courts have been closed down
due to political squabbles among politicians.
I have heard of stories of magistrates being
abducted and in many cases murdered by
unknown persons due to lack of security. All
these factors are so debilitating on the
performance of judicial functions,” the CJN
noted.
Justice Mukhtar is expected to leave office
on November 20 when she will clock the
retirement age of 70 years. Justice
Mohammed Mahmud, the most senior justice
of the Supreme Court has been lined up as
her successor. He will appear before the
Senate on Tuesday for screening.

How Much do you know about Nun Mother Teresa. Learn more....

Occupation: Catholic Nun
Born: August 26, 1910 in Uskub,
Ottoman Empire
Died: September 5, 1997 in Calcutta,
India
Best known for: Fighting for the rights
of the sick and helpless

Biography:

Mother Teresa was a humanitarian.
This means she did things to help
out other people. Her entire life was
fully devoted to helping the poor, the
sick, the needy, and the helpless.

Where did Mother Teresa grow up?

Mother Teresa was born in Uskub,
Ottoman Empire on August 26, 1910.
This city is now called Skopje and is
the capital of the Republic of
Macedonia. Her birth name was
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Her father
died when she was eight and she
was raised by her mother. She was
raised as a Roman Catholic and
decided to devote her life to God at a
young age. She joined the Sisters of
Loreto at the age of 18 to become a
missionary to India. She first had to
learn English. So she went to Ireland
to learn English at the Loreto Abby.
A year later she started her
missionary work in Darjeeling, India.
She learned the local language,
Bengali, and taught at the local
school. She soon took her first vows
as a nun and took the name Teresa.
She would teach for many years in
India becoming the headmistress at a
school in eastern Calcutta.
What did Mother Teresa do?
When she was 36 years old she felt
the call from God to help the poor of
India. She received some basic
medical training and then set out to
help the sick and needy. This wasn't
an easy task in 1948 India. She had
very little support and, while trying to
feed and help the poorest of the poor,
she herself was constantly hungry
and even had to beg for food.
Soon other women joined her and
she formed the Missionaries of
Charity. Mother Teresa described the
purpose of the Missionaries of
Charity as an organization to take
care of "the hungry, the naked, the
homeless, the crippled, the blind, the
lepers, all those people who feel
unwanted, unloved, uncared for
throughout society, people that have
become a burden to the society and
are shunned by everyone". Wow! She
had some lofty goals and considering
where she was at the start (see
above paragraph where she was
starving), she accomplished some
amazing things. The Missionaries of
Charity originally had 13 members.
Today they have over 4,000 nuns who
care for people just like Mother
Teresa described all over the world.
It wasn't an easy task to build such
an organization and to keep the focus
on the poorest people. She worked
almost up until her death on
September 5, 1997.

Fun facts about Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa has been beatified by
the Catholic Church. This is a step on
the way to becoming a Saint. She is
now called Blessed Teresa of
Calcutta.

Albania's international airport is
named after her, the Aeroporti Nene
Tereza.

She was awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1979.

She once traveled through a war zone
to rescue 37 children from the front
lines.

She received numerous awards for all
her charity work including the
Presidential Medal of Freedom from
President Ronald Reagan.

School. He was so smart that he
skipped two grades in high school
and started his college education at
Morehouse College at the young age
of fifteen. After getting his degree in
sociology from Morehouse, Martin got
a divinity degree from Crozer
Seminary and then got his doctor's
degree in theology from Boston
University.
Martin's dad was a preacher which
inspired Martin to pursue the ministry
as well. He had a younger brother
and an older sister. In 1953 he
married Coretta Scott. Later they
would have four children Yolanda,
Martin, Dexter, and Bernice.
How did he get involved in civil
rights?
In his first major civil rights action,
Martin Luther King Jr. led the
Montgomery Bus Boycott. This
started when Rosa Parks refused to
move to give up her seat on a bus to
a white man. As a result, Martin led a
boycott of the public transportation
system. The boycott lasted for over a
year. It was very tense at times.
Martin was arrested and his house
was bombed, but in the end he
prevailed and segregation on the
Montgomery busses ended.
When did King give his famous "I
have a Dream" speech?
In 1963 Martin Luther King, Jr. helped
to organize the famous March on
Washington. Over 250,000 people
attended this march in an effort to
show the importance of civil rights
legislation. Some of the issues the
march hoped to accomplish included
an end to segregation in public
schools, protection from police
abuse, and to get laws preventing
discrimination in employment.
It was at this march where Martin
gave his "I have a Dream" speech.
This speech has become one of the
most famous speeches in history.
The march and Martin's speech were
a success. The Civil Rights Act was
passed a year later in 1964.
How did he die?
Martin Luther King Jr. was
assassinated on April 4. 1968 in
Memphis, TN. He was shot by James
Earl Ray while standing on the
balcony of his hotel.
Fun Facts about Martin Luther King
Jr.
King was the youngest person to be
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
1964.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a
national holiday.
At the Atlanta premier of the movie
Gone with the Wind, Martin sang with
his church choir.
There are over 730 streets in the
United States named after Martin
Luther King Jr.
One of his main influences was
Mohandas Gandhi who taught
protesting in a non-violent manner.
He was awarded the Congressional
Gold Medal and the Presidential
Medal of Freedom.
The name on his original birth
certificate is Michael King. This was
a mistake, however. He was
supposed to be named after his
father who was named for the leader
of the Christian reformation
movement, Martin Luther.
He is often referred to by his initials
MLK.

Politics: LP says APC is a group of people using terrorist to destabilize Nigeria

National secretary of the Labour Party (LP),
Mr Kayode Ajulo has accused the All
Progressives Congress (APC) of using
terrorist tactics in its attempt to lure his
party into a merger.
“I dare say that the APC is not a political
party, but a group of persons using terrorists
tactics in their plan to throw Nigeria into
chaos and they should be so treated,” Ajulo
said.
The LP National Secretary added: “As big as
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is, it
does not muzzle us. The ruling party is not
forcing us into a merger. APC is harassing
us. It wants to force us into a union. It is
moving forcefully to takeover our party. That
is wrong,” he said.
Ajulo, who spoke in Abuja on Sunday, said
that the APC had been attempting to force
his party into a union for some time now. He
however warned the APC to steer clear of the
party, as the was not for sale.
“We believe the subterfuge as embarked by
the APC must be checked. Its extant
undertakings are not what a political party
should be doing. It is trying to muzzle us
and this is unbecoming. It is using the
tactics of terror groups to harass us and this
must stop,” Ajulo told the Nigerian Tribune.
“Merger should not be under duress, just as
bribing party officials and some union leaders
is criminal and this is not what a political
party should be known for.
“Forceful takeover of another political party
is against the extant law which constitutes
political party in Nigeria and as such, the
APC needs to be proscribed. The party’s
finance need to be subject to scrutiny,” he
said.
Ajulo also stated that the LP should not be
misconstrued as an organ of the Nigerian
Labour Congress (NLC), adding that the
party belonged to Nigerians.

Niger state claims 1million names are missing from the Permanent Voters Card list

The APC, in a statement by its spokesman in
Niger state, Jonathan Vatsa, said it discovered
that the particulars of voters in seven wards of
Shiroro, Gbako and other local government areas
were missing and that the voters might not get
their PVC. He also called for the removal or
redeployment of the state's INEC commissioner.
"The truth is that the areas excluded from
the PVC collection have always been the
stronghold of APC in previous elections in
the state. The inference now falls in
perspective on why in the last Niger-East
by-elections some of our supporters could
not cast their votes because their names
were missing from the voter register."
What worries us in the APC is that INEC said
that there should be continuous voter
registration. The pertinent question is, what
becomes of those who have earlier registered but
their names could not be traced on the INEC
register, as many of our supporters may be
disenfranchised before 2015 general elections
thereby giving way for rigging and all other
manipulations of elections Niger State is
notorious for.
We are not sure of the neutrality of the Resident
Electoral Commissioner, Dr Emmanuel Onucheyo,
who has subjected himself to the whims and
caprices of the government in power. That has
justified our previous call that if a free and fair
election is to be conducted in Niger State the
Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state
must be removed or redeployed to where his
material craving will be tolerated,' the statement
said.

journalists that they kidnapped in the Niger Delta
creek over the weekend. Story below from
Channels TV
"Channels Television’s energy

riverine area.
“Around 11:00am, we saw another speed
boat coming behind us. They were about
six boats. They caught up with us, asked
us to stop and surrounded us.
“They had guns with them and they asked
us where we were coming from and we told
them we went there to cover an event. They
said we were spies and they collected our
camera and put it in another boat, after
hitting the camera man.
“They made some calls and decided to take
us to Gbaramatu. They took us to a High
Chief popularly known as Tompolo.
“They beat up some other persons that
were not journalists. After beating them,
they handed them a rifle with three
magazine and asked us to stand behind
them that we were criminals and that they
saw the rifle and pistols with us. They took
photographs of us and were posting it on
the internet that we were all criminals,
Philips said.
According to him, the abductors made
several threats that they will kill and throw
them into the river.
He further said that they were held hostage
