Imagine This 21-Year-Old Student Hangs Self Over Girlfriend Jilt

JILTED BY LOVER: 21-YR-OLD STUDENT COMMITS SUICIDE
FRIENDS and family members of a 21-year-old student of Maritime Academy Oron, Effiong Otu are at a loss why he committed suicide by hanging himself on a rope in his room on Thursday morning after he was jilted by his girl friend.
Ann, a family member told Vanguard that Effiong was found hanging in his room at Diamond Hill, a few minutes after he collected a rope from neighbours who became suspicious soon after he went inside his room with the rope wondering what he wanted to use it for.
According to the source, when his mother Grace Otu, a nurse at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital left the house at about 3pm on that fateful day, the young man borrowed a rope and killed himself.
According Ann: “The 10th of July was the 10th anniversary of his father’s death in a car accident and after the anniversary and everyone had left the house including his mother, he went to a neighbour and borrowed a rope which he took to his room and hung himself.”
Ann said: “The neighbours became suspicious of what he was doing in his room with the rope and decided to rush there but found the door to the room locked and before they could force the door open he had died.”
She said before he hung himself, he called one of his friends, Adu on phone requesting him to tell his girl friend, Blessing who works with the UNICEM that she should now be happy that he has killed himself for her.
“Before his friend could rush to the house, the door had already been forced open by neighbours and Effiong’s body was hanging from the ceiling of the house”.
Ann stated that Effiong was an only son of the family and was given the late father’s name as a source of succor for the family but “he has again left us by this thoughtless action”
Perhaps to give an inkling of his planned action , Effiong had posted his face book page on the 6th of July the following message “It’s not about being engaged, married or in a relationship. It’s about being happy, safe, secured, relieved and feeling good. It’s about peaceful state of mind, it’s about sleeping at night without the fear of losing what you’ve got.
It’s being yourself and not someone else, it’s about feeling loved, happy, respected, understood, cared for and appreciated.! Goodnight my beautiful people!!
Efforts to speak with Hogan Bassey, the Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer did not yield any success as his phone was switched off. Effiong’s body has been removed and de[posited at the mortuary of the General Hospital, Calabar.

How Abia Commissioner Was Shot By Unkown Gunmen

Abia Commissioner Shot By Gunmen

Unknown gunmen have attacked the Abia State Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Dr. Kenneth Nwosu, shooting him severally on his way home after the day’s work.

According to a source, the gunmen who waylaid Nwosu at the Amakama —- Olokoro road in Umuahia South council area acted like hired assassins because they did not take collect anything from his vehicle.

The incident which happened at about 7pm yesterday (Wednesday) was said to have left the Commissioner badly injured as the gunmen shot him at the abdomen at close range.

“We were attracted by the gunshots. When it died down, we started hearing cries for help. We later summoned courage and went to the scene, only to discover that it was the Commissioner who was attacked. He was taken to the hospital. One of the people who were with him told us that the gunmen blocked his car as he was descending the hill and started shooting. The Commissioner and his aides alighted from the car and took to their heels, but the gunmen caught up and shot him at the abdomen. He lost too much blood.”

As at the time of filing this report, Nwosu who was the Executive Director of National Roots Crop Research Institute (NRCRI), Umudike, before his present appointment, was said to be receiving medical attention at the intensive care unit of an undisclosed hospital at Umuahia.

Attempts to reach the Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Geoffrey Ogbonna was not successful, but a senior police officer at the State command headquarters confirmed the incident adding that the police have launched a manhunt for the fleeing gunmen.

Taraba A.G Arraigned For N1.56Billion Fraud

TARABA STATE ACCOUNTANT-GENERAL ARRAIGNED FOR N1.56BILLION FRAUD
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission today arraigned the Taraba State Accountant – General, Joel Joseph Lenbang, before Justice Donatus Nwabueze Okorowo of the Federal High Court Jalingo for defrauding Taraba State Government to the tune of N1.56 billion. He was docked on an 8-count charge bordering on obtaining by false pretense, offenses contrary to and punishable under the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2006.

When the charges were read to him, the accused person pleaded not guilty.

The malfeasance came to light following a petition received from a concerned Taraba State indigene, sometime in February 2014, alleging massive looting of Taraba state funds. The petition triggered investigation of the lifestyle of some of the officers mentioned in the petition and who were believed to be living above their means.

The investigation uncovered systematic withdrawal of state funds through a scheme mastermind by the accountant - general of the State, Joel Lengbang. Withdrawals were allegedly made under the guise that such monies were used for sundry payments on behalf of ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), as well as payment of Bank Commissions on Turn over (COT) and Value Added Tax (VAT) which became a monthly affair. A total sum of N1,567,226,557.081 (one billion, five hundred and sixty seven million, two hundred and twenty six thousand, five hundred and fifty seven naira, eighty one kobo) was discovered to have been looted from the state treasury between January 2012 and December 2013.

In view of the plea of the accused, prosecuting counsel, Al Qasim Ja’afar applied for a date to commence trial. Counsel to accused, Abayomi Akamode, however, informed the court that he had filed a motion for bail this morning and urged the court hear it. But Al Qasim told the court that he was just served the motion on notice in court and would need time to peruse and respond appropriately.

Justice Okorowo adjourned the case till July 11, 2014 for hearing of the bail application and remanded the accused in prison custody.

In a statement in Osogbo on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said under Jonathan’s watch, Nigeria had been thrown into “unprecedented crisis” in the opposition strongholds of Rivers, Edo, Adamawa and Nasarawa states and elsewhere across the country.
