LUCKY: Man Wakes Up Finds Killer Crocodile Under His Bed

The 330lbs giant had sneaked into the Humani lodge, Zimbabwe and spent the entire night lying quietly, just fractions beneath an oblivious Mr Whittall.
The beast - a Nile crocodile - had managed to stay hidden for more than eight hours overnight.
Astonishingly the giant beast managed to stay hidden for more than eight hours.
Mr Whittall even perched on the edge of his bed organising his day - unaware of the fact that a 330lbs creature lay just fractions away from his dangling feet.
But the 40-year-old remained oblivious to his uninvited guest and was only alerted when he was enjoying some breakfast in the kitchen and heard the petrified screams of a housemaid.
Mr Whittall, who is a director at Humani, ran back to his room and was horrified to discover the enormous crocodile nestled under his bed.
He said: 'The really disconcerting thing about the whole episode is the fact that I was sitting on the edge of the bed that morning, bare foot and just centimetres away from the croc. 'Crocodiles are experts at hiding, that's why they have survived on Earth for so long and why they are the ultimate killers in water.
But the 40-year-old remained oblivious to his uninvited guest and was only alerted when he was enjoying some breakfast in the kitchen and heard the petrified screams of a housemaid
Staff from the centre managed to get a rope around its head, and then dragged it out by its tail as it fought furiously
Mr Whittall said he resisted being roped and hauled out from under the bed 'They know how to keep quiet and go unnoticed, it's in their nature. 'The crocodile came from the Turgwe River which is a couple of kilometres from the house.
'They often wander about the bush especially when it's cold and raining. I think he liked it under the bed because it was warm.'
'I just remember thinking "goodness gracious, that's one for the books". 'I'm pretty sure everyone in Humani checks under their bed before going to sleep now anyway.'

Spain-Based Nigerian Arrested With Cocaine in Lagos.


A Nigerian living in Madrid, Spain has been arrested at the
Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos with 6.49 kilogrammes
of cocaine,

Nigeria’s anti-drug trafficking agency said on Monday.

The high-grade Brazilian cocaine has been nipped in the bud by anti-narcotic officials,” said Mitchell Ofoyeju, spokesperson for the Nigerian

Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.
Ofoyeju said the arrest of 32 year-old Francis Bawaba and the seizure of the drug were made at the weekend by NDLEA officers at the Murtala Muhammed international airport in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.

The 364 wraps of cocaine, valued at N72 million, were prepared for ingestion and hidden inside his hand luggage, Ofoyeju said.

“Officials detected the drug during the inward screening of passengers on an Etihad flight.

NDLEA Commander at the Lagos Airport, Mr. Hamza Umar was quoted as saying: “Our investigation has revealed that the suspect took off from Malpensa, Milan and collected the drug while on transit at Abudabi. He had given us very useful information that we are already working on.”

NDLEA quoted the suspect as saying that his concern was how his pregnant wife and two children could cope in his absence.

This is my first time of smuggling drugs and I was lured with an offer of N3.3 million. I used to work in construction sites in Madrid to earn a living but it has been difficult securing a job since the global economic melt-down,” NDLEA quoted the suspect as saying.

Our correspondent did not speak with the suspect.

ASUU STRIKE: FG And ASUU Begins Fresh Dialogue

The Federal Government may have reopened dialogue with the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), in a bid to end the over two months old strike.

This came just as the National Association of Nigerians Students (NANS) urged both government and ASUU to return back to the negotiation table, with each party willing to shift ground from their previous positions.

Indications to the new development with ASUU emerged on Monday, when journalists were called to cover the meeting, which was eventually postponed till next week, with a ministry official saying this was to allow the supervising Minister of Education, Mr Nyesom Wike, get proper briefing on the current standpoint of the issues involved.

Wike was joined by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, for the meeting scheduled for 12 noon at the Federal Ministry of Education conference room before it was called off.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that the resumption of talks followed the exit of the former Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, who was dropped last week by President Goodluck Jonathan alongside eight other ministers.

The negotiation between the government and leadership of ASUU broke down over disagreement on payment of academic earned allowance to union members.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian students, under the auspices of NANS, have called on both the Federal Government and ASUU to return back to the negotiation table, in order to resolve their differences in good faith.

Acting Senate president of NANS, John Shima, while addressing newsmen in Abuja, lauded the sack of Professor Rufa’i and other ministers, as part of the initiatives of President Jonathan to retool the government.

“ASUU and Federal Government should go back to the negotiating table. Even after wars, issues are resolved at the roundtable. Nigerian students have been idle for 78 days.

“Nigerian students are tired of sitting at home. Both parties are urged to shift ground to ensure quick resolution of the crisis.

“We lost almost three years of study time in the last 10 years due to strikes; the lost time being enough to graduate a student in Germany,” Shima said.

Meanwhile, Benue State governor, Mr Gabriel Suswam, has vowed to get tough on striking lecturers of Benue State University, Makurdi, by evoking “no work, no pay” policy if they refuse to call off what he described as their “sympathy strike,” which had paralysed academic activities in the state.

Suswam said state-owned universities like that of Benue had no reason whatsoever to remain on strike, since it was federal universities and not states that were earlier involved in the negotiation with the Federal Government.

Suswam explained that Benue State University had been benefiting fully from the earned allowance for which the Federal Government voted N30 billion and had no cause to be complaining.

The governor, while addressing communicant members of the Reformed Church of Christ in Nigeria, at Achusa village, Makurdi, at the weekend, decried the extent to which the strike had gone and admonished the authorities of the institution to expedite action towards suspending the protracted strike for students to resume in the next one week.

He condemned the level of dilapidated infrastructure in most state-owned universities, including Benue State University, but applauded the Federal Government for the release of N100 billion to assuage the problem.

Benue State University, the governor said, got N950 million for the execution of six projects within the institution, while he expressed optimism that the funds would be judiciously used for the growth of the university.

Nobody delivered baby on board In our flight – Arik

Arik Air has debunked claims by a section of the media  that a woman gave birth on board its flight from Lagos.
A statement by Arik on Monday explained that contrary to claims that the pregnant woman gave birth aboard the flight on Sunday, the woman only suffered a miscarriage.
The statement signed by Arik’s Public Relations and Communications Manager, Mr. Adebanji Ola, also stated that the woman in question was 12 weeks pregnant.
The statement said, “The Arik Air flight W3 101 which departed Lagos for London Heathrow on Sunday, diverted to Palma Mallorca Airport, Spain at 5:44pm due to urgent medical attention for a
12-week pregnant woman on board.
“The passenger reportedly developed severe pain during the course of the flight. The pain was later coupled with bleeding with a suspected miscarriage.
“The passenger, who was initially attended to by two medical doctors on board the flight, was 12 weeks pregnant. She was later transferred to a hospital in Mallorca for further medical attention. This is contrary to a report in some papers to the effect that a woman gave birth on board Arik flight to London.”
The statement added that the flight later departed Mallorca at 8pm for London Heathrow.
The statement explained that the pregnant woman did not indicate her pregnancy status to the airline’s Passenger Service Agents at check-in and because her pregnancy was 12 weeks, the team didn’t notice her status.

WHAT!! Married Sen. Pastor Arrested For Sleeping With Teen, Her Mom &Aunt -PHOTO

A church has been rocked after its pastor has been removed due to allegations of very serious misconduct in a case involving inappropriate behaviour with underage girls.

Virginia’s Richmond Outreach Center (ROC) saw the loss of senior pastor Geronimo Aguilar, who resigned after the allegations surfaced, creating a gap in leadership that lasted four months. Known as “Pastor G,” Aguilar was charged with seven felonies in the incident, which allegedly took place all the way back in 1996, before his church was founded in 2001.

If he is convicted, the pastor may face life in prison. Even worse, the church found out later about several extramarital affairs that took place within the church during the pastor’s time in leadership.

“After our former pastor was arrested related to charges in Texas, the board of directors became aware of his multiple extramarital affairs with members of our church and community,” the statement said. “This biblically disqualified him from the office of pastor and leadership of the ROC in any capacity. The board of directors is committed to providing godly leadership at all levels of ministry.”

Several women have come forward to accuse the pastor of sexual assault. One woman said that she was with him when she was 18.  The pastor is married with five children.  The woman says that the pastor took the girl, her sixteen year old sister, and two other young girls to a timeshare when his wife was out of town.

“He brought us alcohol, we got drunk and the rest is history,” Baker said. “I had just turned 18. We had sex. It was wrong. Just because it is not illegal doesn’t mean it is not wrong, and he was my pastor. I moved t
o Richmond to serve God.”

The woman also says that the pastor was intimately involved with both her mother and aunt.

The church has hired two interim pastors to fill the void.  They are now officially searching for a new spiritual leader.

BUSTED: Man Arrested In Lagos For Defrauding Young Women With A ‘Feminine Voice’

A fraudster, whose major tool of trade was a feminine voice which he used to mask his real one to better lure his victims, has been arrested in Lagos.

The 23-year-old man, whose most common victims were young women whom he promised non-existent jobs, has been apprehended by men of the Lagos State police command.

According to reports, the suspect paraded himself with several names such as Joseph Sarumi, Akeem Ahmed and Femi, thus his real name is still a mystery.

The suspect, whose father has a manufacturing company in Lagos and mother is an immigration officer, was said to have fooled and defrauded his victims by promising them ushers’ jobs at the Oriental Hotel, where Nigerian ace musician, Lagbaja, was supposedly expected to play.

One of the criteria to qualify for the job was for the girls to come to a particular hotel around Adeniji Adele area with N5,000. They were also expected to hand over their BlackBerry phones to Femi, so that he would ‘upload the password’, which would facilitate their entrance into the Oriental Hotel on Victoria Island.

Once the girls handed the phones over, Femi would disappear. As if collecting their money and phones was not enough, Femi sometimes convinced the girls to sleep with him.

Detectives said Femi had been getting away with his game for long because he used a female voice, while speaking with the girls on the phone to fool them.

Detectives believe that Femi had duped hundreds of girls, if not thousands, but the suspect insisted that he had barely practiced the scam for three days. Femi was arrested after one of the victims, Fatima, played the same trick on him.

Some phones have been recovered from him, while some of his victims have stormed Adeniji Adele Police Station, where he was arrested and detained. He would soon be charged to court.

NABBED: Undergraduates, Others Arrested For Stealing N2bn From Bank

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested two young men who claimed to be undergraduates of the University of Jos, Isaiah Friday and Azzaior Samuel, for an alleged N2.05bn fraud.

Two bureau de change operators, Salihu Mahmoud and Dan Ibrahim, were also arrested in connection with the alleged crime.
The suspects were also accused of being members of a syndicate that specialised in breaking into the computer data base of financial institutions to carry out dry posting of funds.

The Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said the suspects were arrested in Lagos and Jos.
He said, “Their arrest comes on the heels of a petition which the commission received from Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Marina, Lagos, in January 2013, alleging that a criminal attack had been launched on its data base known as ‘Flexcube’, by yet-to-be-identified criminals who falsified the bank records and accounts and created unjustified huge opening balances in several accounts across the bank’s branches. They subsequently transferred funds from those accounts to several accounts in other banks.

“The petition, which was signed by one A.F Olufade, Head of Fraud Investigation at the bank, said cash withdrawals and electronic transfers totalling N2.05bn was involved in the scam.”

It was learnt that EFCC initial investigation showed that Friday, who was carrying out computer system maintenance services for one of the Union Bank branches in Jos, Plateau State, on a part-time basis, paved the way for the fraudsters to penetrate the bank’s database.
Uwujaren said, “Friday was traced and arrested. His arrest led to the arrest of Azaaior Samuel.
“Investigations further revealed that Samuel introduced Friday to Mahmoud, who is the mastermind of the fraud with others now at large.
“Mahmoud and other collaborators told Friday that they needed access to the bank’s database in order to carry out some postings. They promised to give Friday N.5m if the deal succeeded.”

It was gathered that Friday agreed. On the day the crime was committed, he told people at the bank that Samuel was his colleague who had accompanied him to work.
It was learnt that after the gang had succeeded in gaining access to the bank’s premises, it carried out the postings to six different company accounts domiciled in Union Bank’s Marina branch in Lagos.
Uwujaren said, “The accounts are Gona Bureau De Change Limited, Jaxmine Bureau De Change Limited, Dan Kawu Bureau De Change Limited, Godswill Great Communications, ZHG Services Limited and A and B Console Limited. The postings were carried out and the syndicate thereafter went to the bank to withdraw all the funds. Friday was paid as promised and other syndicate members now at large shared the remaining balance.”

The EFCC spokesman added that the commission had been able to recover   $2,129,900 and another N134,542, from  the fraudsters.
He said, “Other items recovered are furniture worth N10m from Salihu Liman’s one bedroom apartment in Yaba, Lagos; four vehicles, landed properties in Kano and Kaduna and a four-bedroom duplex worth N45m in Lagos.
Investigation into the scam continues.”

Ibori’s Hidden Wealth Traced To Oando

Jailed former Nigerian Delta state governor, James Onanefe Ibori, hid some of his assets in the oil firm Oando and money passed from the company’s accounts to Ibori’s Swiss accounts, a British prosecutor told a court on Monday.

Ibori, who governed Delta State from 1999 to 2007 and influenced national politics, was jailed for 13 years in Britain after pleading guilty in February 2012 to 10 counts of fraud and money-laundering worth 50 million pounds ($79 million).

One of the biggest embezzlement cases seen in Britain, the successful prosecution of Ibori was also a rare example of a senior Nigerian politician being held to account for the corruption that blights Africa’s most populous country.



A three-week confiscation hearing began at London’s Southwark Crown Court on Monday during which prosecutors will present evidence of Ibori’s assets and seek court orders to have them seized. Defense lawyers will dispute the prosecution case, reported Reuters.

Prosecutor Sasha Wass told the court she would be presenting evidence that Ibori had “asserted ownership of a large part” of Oando, Nigeria’s biggest home-grown oil firm which is listed in Lagos, Johannesburg and Toronto.

“The Crown will assert that Oando is a company where James Ibori has hidden assets,” Wass said, giving no further details.

The matter was raised briefly as part of an initial discussion of various aspects of the confiscation hearing. Details are expected to be disclosed later in the proceedings.

Oando is not a party to the case, although a British lawyer was in court representing the company’s interests.

At the time of Ibori’s sentencing in April 2012, Judge Anthony Pitts said the 50 million pounds that he had admitted to stealing may be a “ludicrously low” fraction of his total Donk, which could be more than 200 million pounds.

The confiscation hearing will shed further light on the scale of Ibori’s wealth and determine whether he emerges from jail impoverished or still in possession of a large enough fortune to regain a position of influence in Nigeria.

Ibori could be released as early as 2016 because he spent two years in custody before his sentencing and because he will be eligible for parole halfway through his prison term.

He was not in court on Monday and his lawyer Ivan Krolick said Ibori did not wish to attend the confiscation hearing although he would come to court to give evidence if necessary.

In May, the Court of Appeal had rejected Ibori’s appeal against the length of his sentence.

During his sentencing hearing, the court heard Ibori had acquired six foreign properties worth 6.9 million pounds, a fleet of luxury cars including a Bentley and a Maybach 62, and that he had tried to buy a $20-million private jet. His three daughters were attending a private school in rural England.

British authorities hope Ibori’s case may stop corrupt Nigerian politicians looking to Britain, Nigeria’s former colonial ruler, as a place to spend money on houses, luxury goods or private education for their children. ($1 = 0.6303 British pounds
