Soldier Attached To Presidential Aide Shoots Youth At Ijaw Youth Congress Gathering

soldier attached to Kingsley Kuku, an aide of President Goodluck Jonathan and Chairman of Amnesty Implementation Committee on Saturday shot and injured a youth in Yenagoa, again prompting the question as to why presidential assistants are being giving military protection.

Kuku, who has been making overtures to Niger Delta militants ahead of the 2015 re-election bid of President Jonathan, was in the Bayelsa State capital to attend the convention of the Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC) with the agenda of influencing the leadership of the youth body.  This is despite the fact the Mr. Jonathan says he has not decided whether he will run, and that he has not asked anybody to do any 2015 work for him.

Some of the youths, who were opposed to Kuku’s meddlesomeness in their meeting, became agitated and their protest became rowdy.

The soldier reportedly shot to restore calm but the bullets hit 26-year old Edolo Bouepre, a delegate from Sagbama Local Government Area.

The mishap incurred public outrage and condemnation, and Kuku hurriedly left town and returned to Abuja.

The leadership of the Civil Liberty Organisation (CLO) in Bayelsa has pledged assistance to Bouepre. State Chairman Nengi James, who visited the victim at the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, made a donation of N50,000 to assist with his medical bills.

James announced that the CLO would also offer legal assistance to Bouepre to enable him seek legal redress over the unprofessional conduct of the soldier.

"The CLO is not happy over the state of the victim. We are ready to sue the Nigerian Army and the Joint Military Task Force over the show of wickedness by its trigger happy officer,” he said, stressing out that the incident could have triggered violence in the state and the region,” which is already dealing with different forms of violence.

“We urge the Bayelsa State Government and the past Leaders of the IYC to assist this victim who is a member of the Ijaw Youth Council and was at the event legitimately,” James said.

Bouepre, thanked the CLO for its show of love and brotherliness, appealing to Nigerians to help him to offset his medical bills.
He said that he was outside the meeting hall due to the rowdiness inside, when the soldier ran outside the hall and shot to the ground, with the bullet deflecting to hit him in the stomach.

“I felt a sharp pain under some seconds, and saw my blood gushing out. I don't want to die from this gunshot wound," he begged.
Sources in the Joint Task Force told SaharaReporters today that its operatives had nothing to do with the IYC convention.

“There was no application from anybody and we did not deploy any soldier to the event, however our checks showed that the soldier was on the entourage of Chairman of the Amnesty Committee, Mr Kingsley Kuku who attended the convention from Abuja,” the source said.  “We have no links with Ijaw Youths, their internal affairs is not part of our mandate.”

Two Dead As Nigerian Military Jet Crashes In Niger

A Nigerian fighter jet taking part in military operations against al Qaeda-linked Islamic militants in Mali crashed in western Niger, killing its two crew, Niger and Nigerian officials said on Monday.
The incident marked the first casualties in Mali for Nigerian troops, which form the largest contingent in a West African regional force participating in the French-led campaign to drive Islamist rebels from the country's desert north.

Air Commodore Yusuf Anas, spokesman for the Nigerian Air Force, said the plane was an Alpha jet stationed in Niger as part of a Nigerian squadron supporting the mission in Mali.
"An investigation is going on to find out what happened. They were on a normal routine flight about 60 km (37 miles) west of Niamey when something happened," Anas told Reuters.
Asked if there was any evidence of anti-aircraft fire, he said: "We don't know but it was inside Nigerien territory."

A Niger security source said the jet crashed near Dargol in the Tillabery region which borders Mali.
"The plane was not shot at. It was not in enemy territory so for now we are looking at maybe a mechanical problem," another security official from Niger, who asked not to be identified, said.

Katy Perry 's strange Dolce and Gabbana crown-and-embellished-dress combo aussi felt more baroque than punk, and we did not quite buy the explanation she crams Vogueabout "channeling the original queen of punk, Joan of Arc."

And then there were Those Who Were a little too enthusiastic in embracing the punk-inspired looks, like Madonna , Whose over-the-top combination of fishnet, plaid andstuds felt a little overkill. Not to mention the fact That she forgot to wear pants !

Justin Bieber tackled by fan during Dubai stage show

A member of the audience at Justin Bieber's stage show in Dubai tackled the singer from behind while he was performing at a grand piano.

Bieber managed to free himself and ran to the side of the stage while security guards grabbed the intruder, who managed to knock the piano over and onto its side.

The singer later retweeted descriptions of the "mayhem".

He later tweeted: "Dubai. Nothing stops the show. 2 more to go."

Footage on YouTube shows Bieber carried on performing while security guards removed the fan and picked up the piano.

He is in the middle of a world tour called Believe which began last September and includes about 100 dates.

'Wasn't a prank'
Reports said that the globally successful 19-year-old took a three-minute break after the on-stage fracas before returning to sing Boyfriend and then Baby.

His guitarist and musical director Dan Kanter later tweeted: "It wasn't a prank. Someone ran on stage during Believe and the piano got knocked off its platform. Everyone is fine. No need to worry!"

A parent of one of Bieber's fans at the Dubai gig, Steve Hoare, told the BBC that as the tickets cost about £100 each, a lot of parents were left angry afterwards.

He said: "My 16-year-old daughter said that the kids at the concert were pretty shocked by it all.

"The attacker may have been an adoring fan. But it was probably someone who was annoyed at Justin Bieber being more than two hours late, as he was the night before.

"Both nights are school nights here, so it was not clever and pretty arrogant, particularly when you play a set that is only just over an hour long."

He added that "this kind of thing doesn't happen in Dubai".

Mr Hoare said that as the region relies "so heavily on tourism", he would be interested to see "what action the authorities take".

Bieber has not been short of headlines recently. Last month he provoked fierce online criticism with his message in a guestbook at the Anne Frank Museum, saying he hoped the Holocaust victim would have been a fan.

The Canadian pop idol wrote: "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."

The museum defended the star but added his comment "wasn't very sensible".

11-Year-Old Boy, Four Others Killed In Benue Clash

A bloody conflict between Fulani herdsmen and Idoma farmers of Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State has led to the death of an 11-year-old boy, while four others were reportedly killed and eight villages also sacked.

According to eyewitnesses, crisis broke out in Agatu after some yet-to-be identified persons allegedly killed 11-year-old Abdulkadir Mohammed and forcefully took away 10 cows from a Fulani herdsman, forcing a reprisal by the herdsmen who also invited mercenaries from neigbhouring Nasarawa State to fight on their side.

“The reprisal on Agatu is far-reaching because no fewer than eight villages have already been sacked by the invaders. Houses and farmland have also been destroyed. And our fear is that four persons are currently missing and they might have been killed by the invaders,” a source said.

Reacting, State Secretary of Meyatti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, an umbrella body of Fulani herdsmen, Alhaji Garus Gololo, said: “In Agatu, just after Bagaji by the River Benue, some people suspected to be Agatu indigenes invaded the herdsmen; they killed one 11-year-old boy, 10 cows and forcefully took away 360 cows from the herdsmen. As we speak, the herdsmen are chasing after the attackers to get back their cows.”

The lawmaker representing Agatu at the State House of Assembly, Mr. Audu Sule, however debunked rumours that his people attacked the herdsmen, saying: “I cannot say the gunmen are Fulanis. They are hired mercenaries numbering up to 1,500 and they crossed over from Nasarawa State through the river to cause mayhem. They have burnt eight villages so far and now moving towards the local government headquarters.”
