Sarah Ojo

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekerenmadu has scorned some of the PDP chieftains who recently defected to APC, describing them as feather weights with little or no electoral value. Speaking on the spate of defections that has hit the party especially in the South-east, at the opening of the National Executive Committee (NEC) and expanded caucus of the PDP in Abuja on Thursday, Ekwerenmadu said the action of the politicians is not surprising since that will help them secure contracts and employment.
He said because of the on-going APC membership registration in the zone, some politicians are taking the advantage of it to further their business interests.

"My response is that my brothers and sisters from the South-east who are defecting know the electoral value of each and everyone of us. We should allow them get the contract and employment they are looking for. At the appropriate time, we will know who is who in the South-east. There is nothing to worry about, we are completely in control," he said.

Female suicide bombers now strap babies to their backs - Nigerian Military

The Defence Headquarters, DHQ, on Friday disclosed the new tactics being used by female suicide bombers in the North East in order to evade detection by security operatives. A statement issued by the acting director of defence information, Rabe Abubakar, said the attackers, usually teenage girls, now strap babies to their backs in order that security personnel may ordinarily pass them for innocent nursing mothers.

"The two recent suicide bomb attacks in Madagali, Adamawa State are instructive in this regard. The DHQ wishes to seize this opportunity to appeal to members of the public to be patient and cooperate with the military and other security agencies while carrying out thorough security search and checks as the essence is to nip in the bud the murderous intention of the Boko Haram suicide bombers," the statement read.

The defence spokesman also explained that “the usual traffic ‘go-slow’ at military and security check points as a result of rigorous security checks are not meant to cause public discomfort or a deliberate action to induce traffic disruptions on our roads, but an effort put in place towards protecting the lives and properties of our innocent citizens."

He urged members of the public to always "volunteer useful information to the military and other security agencies that would assist in exposing Boko Haram and their evil machinations in our society and to make our communities safe and secure for all to lives"
