The attack on the cars carrying the men, who were traveling without their security escorts, occurred on Friday. They were heading to the Ogbere quarry west of Lagos in Ogun state, where they worked with Julius Berger Nigeria.

Boko Haram raped, beat us – Abducted girls

He soon began to threaten me with a knife to have sex with him and when I refused, he brought out his gun, warning that he would kill me if I shouted.

The girl, according to a report by Human Rights Watch, was abducted in 2013 but she escaped after four weeks in captivity.

Four Nigerians taking refuge in a village in the far north of Cameroon have been killed by members of Boko Haram in an attack that took place on Friday October 24th.

According to a statement made available today to AFP, the Cameroonian Ministry of Defence said the sect members attacked "the village of Glawi, killing four Nigerian refugees and wounding one Camerounian, before being pushed back by defence forces which pursued them”.

The ministry also said two groups of Boko Haram members had also tried to enter another border village with Nigeria but they were “immediately intercepted and neutralised by our defence forces who destroyed three 4×4 vehicles equipped with machine guns, killing 27 assailants,”.

Wife connives with pastor to kill husband in Ebonyi State

A man’s generous donation of one hectare of land to a wolf in sheep clothing, who claimed to be a pastor has led to his untimely death in Ebonyi State.

The man, 45-year-old Nwebonyi Nwuguru, a native of Edukwu Inyima town was said to have given the land to the General Overseer of Divine Salvation Ministry, Pastor Amos Odorimo, 45, for the purpose of building a church auditorium.

As Sunday Sun learnt, the man’s wife, Roseline, 41, began to attend the church. Nwuguru didn’t initially raise eyebrows over the long hours his wife spent at the church. Somewhere along the line, the pastor opened the door wide for the devil and of course went beyond his pastoral brief. He began to minister to the woman’s body rather than her soul.

Anambra state government over the last few weeks have demolished 3 buildings located at Aguleri and Umuleri, Anambra East LGA, which they say were used to keep kidnap victims.

The buildings include a four room bungalow at Ararite Aguleri owned by a man from Umuobanam but used by his caretaker, one Jude Onu from Imo State and his gang. Other kidnap gangs were said to have used the building as hideout while negotiating for ransom.

Another building which belonged to late businessman Ozoemena Egwuatu but was used by his nephew, one Ejima Nwandu for kidnap activities, was demolished at Umuatulu, Umurueri.

The government said they've embarked on the demolition and arrest of kidnappers in a bid to ensure a crime-free yuletide season in the state. Continue for more pics...

Following the tragic incident, the couple’s young baby would now grow up without knowing the love of her parents if the mother is eventually convicted, jailed or possibly hanged for the alleged crime.

Sea pirates have killed three policemen they kidnapped along the Nembe River in Bayelsa yesterday. The sea pirates were said to have opened fire on a police gunboat which was escorting a barge belonging to the Nigeria Agip Oil Company.

Checks by Sunday Sun indicated that sea pirates ambushed the gunboat at Sancta Barbara River and on sighting it, they opened fire to overpower the policemen, kidnapped them and seized the gunboat.

When contacted, the Bayelsa State Police Commissioner, Valentine Ntomchukwu declined comments on the incident. The PPRO, Alex Akhigbe, who was also reached on the phone said he was on assignment in Abuja and, therefore, did not have the facts.

The use of motorcycles as commercial means of transport in Nigeria, popularly known as ‘Okada’ or ‘Achaba’ may soon be banned throughout the country.

The proposal for the ban was made by the National Council on Transport after its annual conference in Enugu State and endorsed by the Minister of Transport, Sen. Idris Umar.

A statement from the Federal Ministry of Transport on Saturday evening stated that the ban of commercial motorcycle was one of the measures proposed towards adequate provision of safety and secure transportation in Nigeria.

The Chris Giwa-led faction of the Nigeria Football Federation has overturned the decision of the body earlier taken by the opposing faction of Amaju Pinnick to reinstate Stephen Keshi as the Super Eagles coach.

The Amaju-led faction replaced Keshi with Amodu Shaibu a fortnight ago after leading the Super Eagles to a 3-1 victory over Sudan in Abuja. The win was the team’s first in four matches in the qualifying series for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Giwa faction took over the NFF following Thursday’s ruling by a Jos Federal High Court, which ordered the return of the status quo in the NFF before the September 30 election that brought in the Amaju-led board in Warri.

Nigeria's Super Falcons win 2014 African Women Championship

The Super Falcons of Nigeria this evening October 25th beat Cameroon 2-0 to win the 9th African Women Championship 2014 which took place in Namibia.

The goals from Desire Oparanozie and Asisat Oshoala were all Nigeria needed to reclaim the AWC title.
After a dominant opening period, Oparanozie put the Super Falcons in front in the 12th minute with a superb free-kick.
Oshoala then doubled Nigeria’s lead two minutes from the end of an enthralling first half.
NAN recalls that only twice since the inaugural AWC in 1998 had Nigeria failed to win the trophy.
Equatorial Guinea are the only other winners, in 2008 and 2012, and they failed to qualify for this year’s tournament.

Though the World Health Organization applauded Nigeria for being free of Ebola earlier this week, a dangerous stigma continues to follow Nigerians and other West Africans, propelled by international panic that West Africans are carrying or spreading the disease.

Just this week, a group of nine West African students traveling to the Commonwealth of Dominica in the Caribbean were barred from entry to Saint Martin, a stop en route to Dominica.

The students, who planned to study at the All Saints Medical School in Dominica, were told that they could not enter the island to catch the 30 minute connecting flight that would bring them to Dominica because of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

Ever since smartphones have come around, calculators have become a thing of the past, but now a new app named PhotoMath might actually render our calculators obsolete.

PhotoMath is an app that can prove to be a teacher’s worst nightmare. It solves equations and sums in a few seconds. It has the ability to do a student’s homework provided it’s not too complicated. Created by Microblink, PhotoMath uses a phone’s camera to solve equations and then teaches you the step-by step method for solving it yourself. The app can do arithmetic: addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. It can handle fractions, calculate the root of 246, and can even do simple linear equations provided the ‘x’ you’re solving is in italics so the app doesn’t confuse it with the multiplication symbol. Schools are already dealing with an overload of smartphones, now they will have to be extra vigilant to prevent cheating. Most teachers would agree that PhotoMath perhaps offers a little too much help, but its creators say it would be useful as a study aid.Continue...

iPhone has surely got some diehard fans and they all like to pay tribute to the Steve Jobs’ creation in different ways. Meet Elie Tahari, who is a fashion designer born in Israel and has come up with an ‘iPhone Dress’ to pay tribute to the latest phone by Apple. The dress is a basic black silhouette, carved out of ‘techno-fabric’, a special mesh which has allowed for over 50 iPhones to be sewn into the dress.

It is not wearable, mind you, however the idea behind this was for Tahari to make a statement about how technology and fashion can merge while paying tribute to iPhone 6. He says, “I’m inspired by the iPhone. I’ve always been. The only device I really have is an iPhone.” The unveiling of dress took place at the Spring 2015 presentation that was carried out earlier this month at the Elie Tahari Vault on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. Following up to the event, a spokesperson had said, “The model will be wearing the dress and circulating throughout the presentation. Since the iPhones are all over the dress, they can capture all angles of the presentation. If you walk up to her you can see yourself on it. It captures what the dress sees.” Continue for more pics
