Rhapsody Of Realities – The Gift Of The Holy Spirit

                               Topic: The Gift Of The Holy Spirit [Monday, August 28th]
 
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).

The Holy Spirit is God’s gift to you. Part of His ministry in your life is that He makes the Kingdom of God real to you, so that while you’re in this earth, you live as though you’re in heaven. He imbues you with power and ability to live supernaturally and do supernatural things. No wonder Jesus said to His disciples, “…tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49), and when the Holy Spirit came, they were endued with power.

The reason you should boldly talk to a sinner about Jesus is because the Holy Spirit lives in you, and He’ll convict the sinner of his sins and let him know that Jesus Christ is real. We weren’t there when Jesus Christ was born, crucified, buried, or when He resurrected, or ascended, but we believe in Him. It’s become something you can’t take away from us, because the Holy Spirit has imprinted it in our hearts.

Jesus called Him the Spirit of truth—the Spirit of reality—the One who unveils truth to your spirit. If you want to know the truth about anything, the Holy Spirit will unveil it to you. Many walk in confusion because they haven’t taken advantage of His presence and personal ministry in their lives. He’s the One you need for an ever-joyous, ever-winning life.

There’s no Christianity without the Holy Spirit. He leads you in God’s perfect will. In your journey of faith, He guides you away from looming trouble, if your faith isn’t strong enough. However, if your faith is already built strong, He can lead you right into the trouble, because He knows you’re more than a conqueror.

The Holy Spirit is your captain. Fellowship with Him; talk to Him about anything and everything. He’s more real than the air you breathe, and He lives in you.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. He’s the captain of my life, and I follow as He leads me to fulfil my destiny in Christ. More than ever, I acknowledge your ministry and presence in my life, precious Holy Spirit, as you guide me to know and walk in the realities of the Kingdom of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Luke 11:13. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Andrew Wommack – Be Faithful With A Little [SERMON]

                              Topic: Be Faithful With A Little [Monday August 28, 2017]
 
Luke 19:12-13 “He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.”

Text: Luke 19:11-27

The main purpose of this parable is to show that there would be a long period when Jesus would go away before returning to fulfill the prophecy about a physical kingdom on earth.

The nobleman’s servants were called to give an account for what they had done with their lord’s money that was delivered unto them. The servants were commanded to “occupy till I come.” These servants represent the followers of Jesus. However, being a follower of Jesus is more than simply not rejecting Him. It is an active commitment to serve Him. One of the ten servants had served himself and not His master. He did nothing with what his lord had given him. This wicked servant was stripped of what he had and it was given to the servant who had used his lord’s money wisely.

This illustrates that the Lord expects us to grow. This is made very clear in the parables of the kingdom which Jesus taught. In nearly every parable, growth or increase is expected. This servant who did nothing with what his lord gave him represents a believer who never grows or brings increase to God’s kingdom.

What was it that this wicked servant didn’t have that caused his master to take back the money he had given him? It wasn’t the tangible money that he received. He had kept that laid up in a napkin and still possessed it. What he was missing and what the other servant had that caused the lord to give this pound to him was faithfulness. Those who are faithful with what God has given them will be given more, and those who are wasteful will have what God has given them taken away and given to another. Use wisely what God has given to you.

Bakery faces backlash for refusing to make wedding cake for Lesbian couple

A bakery in California is facing backlash after its owner refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

Eileen Del Rio said in a Facebook post that she and her fiancé went to Tastries Bakery in Bakersfield for a tasting and to pick out a design for their cake but were told to go somewhere else once the owner, Cathy Miller, realized that her fiancé was a woman.


"She don't condone same sex marriages so refused to make our wedding cake," the post read.

According to KGET, people have now called for a boycott of the bakery.

Miller told the outlet that she's Christian and because of her religious beliefs she doesn't celebrate same-sex marriage.

"The ceremony, when you're getting married is in the eyes of the Lord, okay, and that's a celebration of a union that God has brought together and that's a whole lot different than coming in and wanting a cookie," she said.

Miller said for the past five years whenever a same-sex couple comes in for a wedding cake she refers them to her competitor, Gimmee Some Sugar.

It has never been a problem," Miller told KEGT TV. "I'm really hurt by all this. I don't think we should be picked on because of our beliefs."

Brother Of Bride-To-Be Swept Away By Flood Pens Heartbreaking Tribute On Facebook

Ben Chuks Ihionu, brother to bride-to-be, Olivia who recently lost her life at a church in Anabra has posted  a heartbreaking tribute to his sister.  Olivia, died in August after she was swept away by flood in Anambra State.

Ben took to Facebook and wrote:

"I've been dreading to post this as I keep hoping and wishing that it's all a horrible nightmare. I can't believe you're gone. To think we went from planning a wedding to preparing for a burial. I will miss you terribly. Sleep on sweet sister. I'm sure you're in a better place. I love you and I will miss you Kaka" 

Another relative peened a tribute to the late Olivia writing:

I experienced a deep loss last night.
Uchechi Olivia Ihionu unexpectedly pass away at the age of .
Uchechi was a lovely and vibrant daughter who has been taken away too early and so sudden. She was my mother. She was my favorite. Uchechi just got engaged to a young handsome gentleman she so much loved. We were all looking forward to the wedding this December.
She announced to the world her engagement and on daily basis reminds all the joy of being in love.
Here was a child who had it all. Beautiful, intelligent and virtuous. Her smile would melt steal - her laughter could wake the dead. Back with two masters decree from England, she served in the CBN Abuja with distinction and was so hopeful of an employment offer from the organization.
She had a lovely family - blessed tremendously in every facet. Trained from her first cry to blossoming to be great. She had it all covered. The world was at her feet. Literally nothing would stop her.
She was my photographer last Wednesday during my brother's inauguration. And a million pictures she took for me. There and then was the last sweet smiles offered.
Her last post yesterday on Facebook was some pictures and her sad expressions on the family poisoning death in Okija. Never did she know our first post the next day would be of her own death.
The very last of many comments she made on the family picture I posted yesterday was "My people...My Family..."
Was she saying Goodbye?
We cannot know for certain how long we have here. Did she had a premonition? Of recent she was so powerfully prayerful. Exuding gratia. I am so proud so proud of her spirit; but little did we know that God had planned a rude shock for us. ...and she was taken in His Adoration presence at Uke.
God you have a way of shaking our resolve. But we take solace in the fact that we live to die.
Smiling today for the cries that tomorrow will bring.
We are so proud of her and know that she's in peace.
Uchechi, my dearest darling, we will miss you forever and can’t wait for the day when we can be together again to laugh, share, hold each other and say I love you.
Adieu

Help me save the union-Man begs as court dissolves marriage over wife's barrenness

A Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan,  on Monday  dissolved the four-year-old marriage between one Labake Fagbola  and her husband, Seun, over barrenness and  exploitation.

Mr Ademola Odunade, the President of  the court held that the court was clearly convinced that Seun was taking undue advantage of Labake’s   childlessness.

“ In the interest of peaceful coexistence, the union between Labake and Seun has ceased to be.
“ To forestall any crisis and cheating, Labake shall give any of the property she is willing to give away to Seun  because she owns the bakery business in contention.
“Consequently, both of you shall maintain orderliness after this judgment,” said the arbitrator.

Labake had earlier told the court that her husband was taking undue advantage of her barrenness to exploit her and sleep with her employees.

“My lord, I have been through  hell as a wife to Seun in the last four years as a result of my inability to conceive.
“All the steps I have taken so far to ensure pregnancy had  yielded no result.
“Seun, to whom I devoted all that I have made in life, has done little or nothing to support me in my attempt to get pregnant.
“Worse  still, he has suddenly and ungratefully converted the business I founded with my hard-earned resources.

“He is now laying claim to the bakery that I established, thereby, pushing me aside.
“Furthermore, I own the lion share of the money used in the purchase of the landed property which Seun had  also assumed sole ownership of.
“May be he has totally given up on the hope that I might ever conceive again.
“He now sleeps with my female employees and apprentices to the extent that he is even ready to marry one of them,” Labake said.

Seun,  who resides at Femi Taiwo Street, Joyce B area of Ibadan, however, opposed the dissolution of the union..

The respondent also  denied all the allegations levelled against him.

“My lord, it is very true that she provided the capital used in the running of the business, but it is now a jointly owned venture.
“I have also been providing both the technical support and direction.
“I am not denying the fact that she possesses most of the inputs, but my impact cannot be wished away.
“Please, my lord, I still love Labake. Help me save the union,” Seun had urged the court.

God sent me to you-Nnamdi Kanu says as he vows never to go on exile

Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader,Director Nnamdi Kanu has dared the Federal Government to re-arrest him.

He is threatening that anyone who attempts to arrest him will be crushed. Kanu spoke yesterday at the Boys Technical College (BTC) on Faulks Road in Aba North Local Government Area of Abia State.

Describing Aba as the “Spiritual Land of Biafra”, Kanu  said:

“Where we are is Biafra land. Aba is the spiritual capital of Biafra land. We started in Aba in 2015 at CKC (Christ the King Catholic Cathedral). That day, heaven authenticated our move that IPOB will restore Biafra and that’s what we’ve come to do. We died in Aba at National High School.
“They shot and killed us in other places in Biafra land when they were protesting for my release. As our people rest in the grave, we’ll never rest until Biafra is restored. I don’t care what they say in Abuja. I don’t give a damn what they say in Lagos.
“I’m a Biafran and we are going to crumble the zoo. Some idiots who are not educated said that they’ll arrest me, and I ask them to come. I’m in Biafra land. If any of them leaves Biafra land alive know that this is not IPOB. Tell them that’s what I said.

“Tell Buhari that I’m in Aba and any person who comes to arrest Nnamdi Kanu inBiafra land will die here. I’ll never go on exile, I assure you.
“Some people talk about restructuring; are we doing restructuring of Nigeria now? Are we doing fiscal federalism? Are we doing devolution? What we want is Biafra

“Forget all the nonsense they write about us. We are not slowing down and no man born of a woman can stop us. They thought we are joking and God gave us a simple message that no one can stop us. The movement to restore Biafra is unstoppable.
“God sent me to you, Aba people and I am giving you His message. Our veterans here, your own message is that you’ll see Biafra alive, not in death.
“The message of heaven is what I bring to you. Don’t be afraid. The plans of our enemies are not going to be actualised. The enemies are planning, but we are formidable.
“We are going to boycott Anambra State election. After Anambra 2017, in 2019, there’ll be no elections in Biafra land. Signed and sealed. My message is that there’ll not be election in Biafra land ever again until they give us date for referendum.”

Some of IPOB members who spoke to reporters at the venue said that they shunned  church to listen to their leader and a man that God destined to use to liberate the people of the Southeast and the old Eastern Region from the hands of corrupt and insensitive leaders.

They, however, vowed to join hands with Kanu to ensure that Biafra was realised, no matter how long it would take.

I Stole My Boss' Car To Further My Education - Car Wash Attendant Confesses

Police has arrested a car wash attendant, Sam Ogechi, who confessed to stealing a Toyota Venza SUV belonging to his boss to raise money for his university education.

The suspect, who arrested at Ohafia, Abia State, where he fled to with the vehicle, explained that he planned to sell the SUV for N1.5m.

Ogechi stole that car just 48hours after he was employed on August 3, 2017. He parked the car at the Games Village, Umuahia.

Lawyer Who Witnessed Princess Diana's Death Believes 'Other Forces' Were Involved In The Crash

Two decades after the death of Princess Diana, retired lawyer Stanlee Culbreath, who was one of the first witnesses to the tragic scene of the car crash that killed Princess Diana, has spoken out saying he believed "other forces" were involved in the accident.
His account goes thus:

The 69-year-old says Princess Diana was still alive after the accident and was talking but French emergency services had delayed in coming to her rescue, thereby reducing her chances of survival. He also said a policeman was at the scene but made no move to help the princess. Though he pleaded with the policeman, he was nonchalant and told those who tried to help to get away from the car. He said he remembers telling a friend at the scene that even a junkie on the street will get help faster.


Culbreath also revealed that when emergency services finally arrived and she was released from the car, they passed one hospital but did not take her in there. During the inquest, in 2007, it was disclosed that it took an hour and six minutes from the time Diana was taken from the wrecked car until she reached the hospital. The inquest heard the princess may have lived had French medics not "squandered" crucial minutes treating her at the scene.

Stanlee Culbreath said he remained silent all this while about what went down that night of Diana's death because her sons, William and Harry, were still too young and he wanted to protect them.

Culbreath said:

"I always thought it was suspicious, that other forces played a hand, but now, 20 years on, I question more than ever whether it was a genuine accident. I just think it is dubious.
"If that’s the Princess, why did it take 20 minutes or so to get to her and, when she was finally released (from the car), why did they pass one hospital and take her to another?"
Culbreath told how, at the scene, although at that time unaware Diana was in the wrecked car, he commented to a friend, "Damn, a junkie on Main Street would get waited on quicker than this".

He added: "There are so many questions I ask myself over and over again about how the accident was handled and if she could have been saved. I pleaded for the police to help, but they were very nonchalant about the entire thing.

                   
Culbreath, of Columbus, Ohio, had been in Paris on August 31, 1997, as part of a European tour with his friends Clarence Williams and Michael Walker. They arrived in the city hours before the crash and took a late-night sight-seeing tour of the Eiffel Tower. As they made their way back to the hotel in a taxi at around 12.20am, they entered the Pont de l’Alma tunnel and were confronted with the smoldering wreckage of the Princess’s car.

"Our taxi driver stopped a few feet from their limo. We got out only a few feet away from their Mercedes. The car was up on the wall and the front passenger door was already open."

"We hadn’t heard the bang, as the crash happened just as we got into the tunnel. Their car was smoking, the muffler (from the exhaust) was on the floor. I went over and Trevor Rees-Jones had his legs out of the car and was holding a towel or something to his nose, as he was bleeding heavily. There were only four or five of us there, so I went over to the car and looked into it to see if we could help.

"I didn’t know who was in the back until later but at one point I was... a few inches away from the Princess trying to look through her window."

 "I remember saying to the guys at the time, 'Is there an ambulance coming or something?' as there was no sign of one arriving. After 15 or 20 minutes, there was still no paramedic on the scene and I said to my friends, 'Damn, a junkie on Main Street would get waited on quicker than this'.


"There was only one cop there I could see who told us to get back. He kept saying, 'Get away, get away'.


"As the window’s in the rear were dark, I could not see who was the in the back. I was pleading with the officer to open the door... it looked like it could be pulled open. He wasn’t doing sh*t. He wasn’t doing anything. It was as if those there had decided nothing could be done. It’s just my opinion, but it took them a long time to get her out.


"It could have been up to 30 minutes before help came. We were there for at least 15 minutes. Why wasn’t an ambulance there quicker? I never heard an ambulance, the whole time I was there. I never heard a siren. My recollection was that there seemed to be an insurmountable amount time for an emergency vehicle to respond. I said to the guys, 'I’d hate to get into an accident in Paris as nobody shows up'.


He continued: "It’s common sense that the longer someone is left, their chances of survival are less. When we left, there still wasn’t an ambulance. The speed of which they responded was inadequate. Questions need to be asked."

Culbreath said he was also skeptical about the delay in getting Diana out of the wreckage and claimed the door on her side could have been opened.

He said: "I thought the car was in a condition where you could open the door. I didn’t feel there was enough damage to the car that you couldn’t open the back door – and the front door was already open. So why couldn’t you go through that door?"

He added: "She wasn’t dead, she was talking."

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte tells police to kill ''idiots'' who resists arrest

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte told police on Monday they were free to kill 'idiots' who violently resist arrest, two days after the funeral of a boy who was gunned down and left next to a pigsty by anti-drugs officers and in a direct message to his police officers, he said:

'Your duty requires you to overcome the resistance of the person you are arresting. If he resists, and it is a violent one, you are free to kill the idiots. That is my order to you.'

Duterte added that 'murder and homicide and unlawful killings' were not allowed and that police had to uphold the rule of law while carrying out their duties.
The Philippines leader unleashed the anti-drugs war  and thousands of people have been killed and the violence has been criticised by much of the international community.

The killing of schoolboy Kian Delos Santos by anti-drugs officers on August 16 has sparked rare public outrage.
Delos Santos was dragged by plain-clothes policemen to a dark, trash-filled alley in northern Manila before he was shot in the head and left next to a pigsty, according to witnesses whose accounts appeared to be backed up by CCTV footage.

40-Year Old Man Rapes 3-Year Old In Lagos

A 40-year old man Kehinde Gabriel, has been arraigned before a Lagos State Magistrate’s Court in Ikeja for allegedly defiling a three-year-old girl in Onaosa, in the Ibeju-Lekki area of the state.

Gabriel is a native of Ogun State and neighbour of the girl’s parents.

According to PUNCH Metro the child was on her way to a mosque with her sisters on August 16, 2017, but was left behind when the accused laid in ambush for her. Gabriel reportedly lured her into his home with a loaf of bread and drink before he defiled her.

The mother of the girl told the police that the kid returned home crying, adding that blood was found in her private parts.

She said,

“She went to the mosque with her other sisters on that day. After some minutes, she returned home with a bottle of drink and bread, crying.
“I asked her what was wrong and she said it was Uncle Kehinde (Gabriel) that gave the items to her. She was running temperature. While her father and I were checking her body, we saw blood in her private parts.”

Gabriel however denied committing the crime saying he only gave her the food because she complained of hunger.

He said, 

“I saw the girl crying beside my house and I asked what happened to her. She said she was hungry and I gave her bread and beans. I did not defile her.”

The Police Prosecutor, Inspector Simeon Imhonwa, who brought the suspect to court, said the offence was punishable under Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.

The charge read, “That, you Kehinde Gabriel, on August 16, 2017, on Ogunse Street, Onaosa, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully defile a three-year-old, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.”

Kanayo O. Kanayo Has This To Say About The Ongoing ASUU Strike

Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo shared his opinion on the ongoing ASUU strike action caused by the failure of the Federal Government to meet the union’s long-time demands.


The star of hit TV series “Professor Johnbull“, Kanayo in an Instagram post insisted that both sides have a lot of work to do to resolve the issue at hand. He explained that just as Universities are funded by NGOs abroad, ASUU should also seek for other sources for funding.
He also stated that the Government would do well not to play politics with ASUU as the future of Nigerian students are at stake.
He wrote:

Hello Proximate People, a great evening salutation. Dress the way you want to be addressed. I was just dressing up for Lectures before the ASUU strike. Does the Government sponsor the Education sector abroad ? Why are there no strikes in the institutions in the West? Many nonGovernmental organizations fund the sector and relieve the Government of the burden of the management and control of this critical sector. A poorly managed education sector will only produce half baked products. Government must not play Politics with ASUU, so also must ASUU also statutorily seek for other funding modules. Enjoy a pleasant weekend #OverAndOut

At that point, I didn’t even remember that there was an expensive chain on my neck. The crowd was very lively and they were enjoying my performance, so I jumped into the crowd to get closer to them. Unfortunately, by the time I went back on stage, the chain had been stolen off my neck. However, because there were a lot of people there, we couldn’t really tell who took the chain.But it’s all good.”

Our quit notice to northerners, Yoruba stands – Niger Delta militants

The Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators has said that despite the withdrawal of the Igbo quit notice by the Arewa youths ,it stands by it's position that the northerners and the Yoruba in the oil-rich region must leave before October 1, 2017.

The militants, who spoke through an electronic mail made available to Punch on Sunday, rejected the call for the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

They maintained that call for Kanu’s arrest was used to replace the withdrawal of the quit notice earlier issued to Igbo people living in the North, adding the government and security agencies headed by northerners ignited the quit notice fire.

Part of the statement by the agitators read,

“It is our avowed determination to ensure that the Niger Delta remains focused on our demands for a total overhaul of the basis of our unity. We have therefore resolved to stand by our previous demands as follows:
“That the northerners and Yoruba should leave the Niger Delta before October 1, 2017; return of all the oil blocs own by northerners and Yoruba to Niger Delta people. Relocation of the oil and gas companies headquarters to their operational base as well as relocation of NNPC headquarters, all other offices that has to do with oil and gas; replacement of the Group Managing Director of NNPC.
“We reaffirm our resolve for the declaration of the Niger Delta Republic on 1st October, 2017. We reaffirm our resolve to resume attack on all the oil blocs that are owned by the northerners and Yoruba in the Niger Delta from September 10, 2017.
“We hereby call on PENGASSAN, NUPENG and international communities to withdraw their members/expatriates from such oil wells/blocs as we shall not spare any person found in such platforms, including NNPC offices in Abuja and Lagos, oil companies’ headquarters outside the Niger Delta region.”

You are still a police officer- Police declare Senator Misau wanted for desertion, forgery

The Nigerian Police Force said yesterday that Senator Isah Hamma Misau, is a deserter from the  organisation and that he will be arrested for the crime and possible forgery of a retirement letter.

It was the twist in the financial allegation slammed against the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris  by the Senator, who claimed that Idris diverted N10billion income made by the police.



The police responded by not only debunking the allegation, but also claiming that Senator Isah Mamman Misau deserted his post in Niger state seven years ago as a Deputy Superintendent.

According to the police, Misau  still exists on the Nigeria Police Force Officers Staff List as AP. No 57300 DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman. His last posting  was to Niger State Police Command on the 24 September, 2010. The police said the retirement letter which the Senator showed journalists may have been forged.

Read parts of the statement below

 “The Force’s attention was drawn to the publications in the media attributed to the Senator captioned “Senator accuses IG of cornering N10b monthly IGR, taking bribe to post CPs to juicy states”.


” For avoidance of doubt, as earlier stated on 23rd August, 2017 during the Force press briefing with the media, Senator Isah Hamman Misau dubiously absconded and deserted the Nigeria Police Force on 24th September, 2010 when he was redeployed to Niger State Command and he refused to report, consequent upon which he was queried.
” The retirement letter presented to the journalists by DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman is suspiciously forged and dubiously obtained. The letter which was dated 5th March, 2014, a period of more than Four (4) years after AP No 57300 DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman (Senator Isah Hamman Misau) deserted the Force is now being investigated by the Force..

” AP. No 57300 DSP Mohammed Isa Hamman absconded from duty and deserted the Force on the 24th September, 2010 but contested the Bauchi Central Senatorial Election in 2011 General Elections under Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and got suspected forged retirement letter dated 5th March, 2014, this means that for four (4) years, he is still a Police Officer which made it a criminal act for him to contest election as a Police Officer in service and this is another fraud the Police is investigating against him. He also perpetrated an act of impersonation by acknowledging the receipt of the suspected forged retirement letter as a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP Hamman Isah) instead of his actual rank of a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) (Ref Suspected fake retirement letter)

 “The Nigeria Police Force hereby declares DSP Mohammed Isah Hamman (Senator Isah Haman Misau) a deserter from the Nigeria Police Force; the Force will definitely take appropriate action in this circumstance as it has to do with a Deserter under the Police Act and Regulations, the Criminal and Penal Codes, stipulating a deserter as a suspected criminal under the law. All other security agencies in the Country are equally implored to assist the Nigeria Police Force in this regard.

 “Members of the public are advised to disregard and discountenance all the allegations against the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force by DSP Mohammed Isah Hamman as totally unfounded and absolute falsehood.

 ” In conclusion, AP No 57300 DSP Mohammed Isah Hamman is still a Police Officer and not regarded as a Senator by the Nigeria Police Force. The retirement letter he is parading is a suspected forged document under investigation. ”

Indonesia jails its first female would-be suicide bomber

An Indonesian woman who was planning to blow herself up outside Jakarta's presidential palace has been jailed for seven and a half years. 

 

Dian Yulia Novi, 28, (Pictured middle beside her husband)was arrested late last year on suspicion of plotting to blow herself up outside the palace during the changing of the guard. She was arrested along with her husband, Muhamad Nur Solikin.

 

It is the first time a woman has been convicted in Indonesia for planning such an attack. 

Prosecutors had demanded a 10-year sentence for Novi, whom they said received instructions to carry out the attack from Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian militant believed to be fighting with Islamic State in Syria.
Novi's lawyer said Monday:

 'Her sentence was reduced because she admitted to her actions.' 

Judges delivered the verdict earlier than expected because Novi is pregnant and due to give birth in early September, her lawyer said.
Her husband is on trial for the same plot. His next hearing, at which he is expected to enter a plea, is scheduled for September 6.
Kamsi said Novi, who was believed to be radicalized through social media while employed as a domestic worker in Taiwan, did not intend to appeal her verdict.
