Yar’Adua's wife runs to Obasanjo to deliver daughter from EFCC's net

Former First Lady, Turai Yar’Adua, on Saturday visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, people familiar with the visit have told PREMIUM TIMES.

Mrs. Yar’Adua, reportedly accompanied to the former president’s residence by businessman Kenny Martins, met privately with Mr. Obasanjo for more than an hour before departing in a convoy of three cars, our sources said.

It is the former First Lady’s visit to Mr. Obasanjo since her husband died in office in 2010 after prolonged illness.

Those close to her said during the visit, she thanked the former President for finding her late husband a worthy successor, and pleaded with him to forgive her and her family for whatever wrong was done to him (Obasanjo) during Mr. Yar’Adua’s tenure.

Mr. Obasanjo, who helped the late president to power in 2007, had grown critical of the former President’s immediate family and associates who he accused of mounting a “cloak and dagger operation” to conceal Mr. Yar’Adua’s health status and block his then deputy (Goodluck Jonathan), from assuming power.

Our sources said Mrs. Yar’Adua also pleaded with Mr. Obasanjo to prevail on President Muhammadu Buhari not to harass or victimize her family members or those who worked with her husband.

“She specifically intimated the former President of the ongoing probe of one of her daughters, Zainab, by the EFCC. She believed it is a witch-hunt, a ploy by the Buhari government to get at her family,” one of our sources said.

An aide of Mr. Obasanjo confirmed the visit.

“It is true that she visited on Saturday,” the aide said. “I don’t know exactly what she discussed with Baba (Obasanjo). But I think it is safe to say she came to greet him and discuss issues relevant to the two families.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had on July 22 summoned Zainab, wife of former Kebbi State Governor, Saidu Dakingari, over alleged N2billion fraud perpetrated during her husband’s tenure as governor of the Northwest State.

Mrs. Dakingari was initially expected to report for questioning at the EFCC headquarters on July 22.

However, she was given another appointment for July 27 after she sent words that she was away to Saudi Arabia for Umrah (lesser hajj).

When she appeared that July 27, investigators said she was granted administrative bail on health grounds and asked to return on a future date.

Boko Haram turned college lab into bomb factory –Army

The military yesterday said it discovered that Boko Haram has turned the science laboratory of a state-run College of Education in the recently liberated Dikwa town in Borno into a bomb making factory.

Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman said troops from the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army in Mai­duguri continued the operation to free Borno central town of Dikwa from the vestiges of Boko Haram after recapturing the town.

Usman said in a press state­ment yesterday that the troops while conducting mop up op­erations to clear Dikwa of the insurgents discovered that they had been using the college labo­ratory in the town to manufac­ture explosive devices.

“Troops also discovered that the terrorists have converted the abandoned Chemistry laborato­ry of Dikwa College of Educa­tion into an Improvised Explo­sives Devices making factory,” he said in the statement.

He said troops also recovered four Toyota Hilux vehicles dur­ing the operation. “Some of the equipment recovered from the laboratory include a welding machine and mine detector,” he added.

The military had last week­end announced it recaptured Dikwa from Boko Haram barely a year after the insurgents returned to the town. They were initially dislodged by Chadian troops on regional cooperation.

N4bn WAEC debt: 402,000 candidates may forfeit 2015 admissions

No fewer than 402,000 candidates who sat for the May/ June Senior Secondary School Certificate examina­tion conducted the West African Examinations Coun­cil (WAEC) may likely forfeit their admission into tertiary institutions for this academic session.

This is owing to the threat by the exam body to withhold the results of the affected can­didates whose states failed to pay for their examination fees totaling over N4billion.

There is the fear that the candidates may be shut out of this year’s admission into universities, polytechnics and colleges of education, if the council makes good its threat to withhold their results. In­vestigations revealed that most of the candidates wrote the 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matric­ulation (JAMB) as ‘awaiting result candidates’

A senior staff at the Yaba Head office of WAEC dis­closed that about 402,000 candidates who wrote the May/June 2015 West African Senior School Certificate ex­amination (WASSCE) may not get their results to be re­leased in less than two weeks from now.

The Head, National Office (HNO) of WAEC, Mr. Charle Eguridu, warned that unless the 19 defaulting state gov­ernments pay the over N4bil­lion debt owned the council, the results of their candidates would not be released.

Sunday Sun learnt that one of the affected states had al­ready paid the registration fees of their candidates barely 72 hours after the council threat­ened not to release the results of its candidates. However, the management of WAEC has refused to disclose the names of the remaining 18 states which are yet to respond to the threat. The HNO fur­ther said the management was yet to receive any invitation from House of Representa­tives which had at one of its plenary sittings promised to look into the case. Making clarification on the statement credited to Zamfara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, seeking to know whether the non payment of examina­tion fees included both public and private schools, Eguridu said that the N4billion debt owed the council by the states is for only public candidates the states sponsored.

The decision by the man­agement of WAEC to with­hold the results of some can­didates on account of debt for the registration fees for May/ June 2015 WASSCE is al­ready causing anxiety among candidates and their parents. The inability of the affected states to meet their obliga­tion on the alleged N4billion debt may not be unconnected with the financial difficulties being experienced by some states that couldn’t even pay the salaries of their workers for months. Speculations are rife that two states, one in the South West and another in the South East that were badly af­fected by the financial crunch are on the WAEC debtors’ list.

The management of WAEC had earlier last week revealed that 19 states owed the council over N4billion for the registration fees of their sponsored candidates for the May/June 2015 WASSCE and gave the affected states two weeks to settle the debt or the results of their candidates would be withheld.

Confessions of a 24-year-old student: 600 men slept with me in one year

How would you describe a lady who slept with over 600 men in one year? You certainly won’t be wrong if you call her a sex machine or queen of sex. Twenty-four-year-old Be­atrice Okeke (not real name), a student of a vocational institute in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, performed the feat, as it were.

Indeed, for Beatrice, sex is a way of life, a daily routine. According to her, she resorted to using what she has to get what she needs when her boyfriend who was sponsoring her education abandoned her following lies told against her by jealous friends.

“My boyfriend whom I met at Onitsha, Anambra State when I went to visit an un­cle was sponsoring my education. We had agreed to get married as soon as possible. Then some people I regarded as friends started peddling wicked lies against me and without confirming if what they were saying was true or false, he called it quits just like that. They told him I had an incur­able disease. So, I decided to help myself because my parents cannot do anything for me. We are poor. My father used to be a driver but he is now a lumber jack while my mother is a full time housewife. Sometimes, she sells vegetables, ” she explained.

She said that when her boyfriend walked out of the relationship, she got a job in the bar section of a hotel but her take-home pay could barely take her any­where. So, one day, she went to a night­club with her friends and a man took her to his hotel room. The following morning, the man gave her N15,000 for services rendered and she was hooked.

Consider what she said: “They were paying me N10,000 a month and you work late hours. But if you go out to hustle in the night, you can get that kind of mon­ey within a day or two. About 600 men slept with me from last year to this year.”

But Beatrice is now singing a different tune. She said that she later discovered that prostitution is not as lucrative as she had thought.

She said that she is tired of warming men’s bed every night, adding that she wants to settle down.

Below is excerpt of the conversation she had with the reporter:

How far?

I’m not fine
Do you go to church?

Yes. I do.

After sleeping with a man in a hotel at night, you go to church in the morning?

Not always.

Why did you stop hus­tling?

I’m tired of it.

Is it because you are no longer making enough money?

It’s not like that. I want to settle down. I’m tired.

You are tired of everyday sex?

Yes. I want to marry. I need God’s help in my life.

But you are still select­ing?

I’m not selecting. I need true love.

Help is on the way

Amen.

If a man offers you like N20,000 for a night, will you reject it?

Yes. I’m tired.

Please sir, I need help. I only look up to God for help.

When was the last time you went out on business?

I can’t remember the date but it was on a Sunday. I think it was in May.

So, no amount of money can make you do it?

Yes sir.

That’s good

I want to settle down.

Will you confess to your husband when you marry that you slept with more than 600 men in one year?

Yes. If he is the one that will understand me, I will.

You will confess before or after marriage?

Before.

When you were active in the business, you used to sleep with several men in a day?

Maybe.

Have you slept with two men at once?

No. I don’t do that.

Do you sleep with your fellow students and teach­ers?

No.

Have you ever made love with a woman?

No.

Is your roommate also a student-prostitute?

No. But she has a boyfriend.

And she doesn’t advise you?

No.

But she knows that you sleep around?

Yes. Her parents are rich.

Your parents don’t ask you how you are managing in school?

I tell them that my boyfriend is helping me.

Who is your best friend?

Girl or boy?

Nobody. Na God.

Were you into blow jobs?

I don’t understand you.

Were you giving your customers blow jobs?

I’m not feeling fine. I’m very sick.

Answer the question

No. Please stop.

Answer. Do you charge extra for blow jobs?

Please, I don’t know what to say to you.

Were you into blow jobs?

Yes. But not all customers.

Those who ask for it?

No. if I like, I do it.

Do you charge extra for that?

No. Why do you want to know?

Do you enjoy it?

No.

Why then were you doing it?

I just feel like doing it some times.

How does sperm taste?

Please can you tell me why you are asking me all these questions? Please, I don’t know. I know that I need help from God but I don’t want to answer this kind of questions.

Is the girl you travelled to Asaba with also a prosti­tute?

Please I don’t know. She is a student.

Which school?

Unilag.

Have you ever been ar­rested by the police?

No.

I want to link you with an NGO that rehabilitates prostitutes. Your life will be turned around.

How? I don’t understand. Hmmm. Me?

Permanent solution to your problem

Prostitutes? That means you don’t like me.

Ladies looking for men to sleep with are called pros­titutes or harlots. You were doing that

Yes I know. But not now.

Ok. You are a retired prostitute

No. I’m not a prostitute.
