The Christian Association of Nigeria has appealed to church leaders in Osun State to rally food aid and money to assist Osun State civil servants who are going through hardship because of the delay in the payment of their salaries for the past seven months.

The Chairman of CAN in Osun State, Rev. Elisha Ogundiya, said this in an interview with journalists in Osogbo on Tuesday, after the meeting of the executives of CAN in the state.

Ogundiya said that churches should go beyond feeding their congregations with spiritual food, especially at this time but should also rally round to offer them succour.

He said, "I talk about Christians and Muslims and others who are passing through hardship in Osun State because of the non-payment of their salaries for months.

"Workers are passing through hardship and some who have retired have died because of lack of money to take care of themselves. We Christians have to emulate the action of the Good Samaritan in the Bible, who assisted somebody he should not assist ordinarily. So, we should assist our brothers and sisters.

"I urge church leaders and local government chairmen in attendance to go back home, contribute food and other items to assist all these people who are in need.

"To the government, we are appealing to the government to look for whatever means to make life beautiful for these people. We know that the problem is not peculiar to Osun State alone, but this is lingering too much. The state government should do something urgently to put smile on the faces of the workers."

Being A Land Speculator Gave Me Money, Not Music- Fryo

Baba Fryo who ruled the musical scene some years back has said he is gradually finding his way back into the industry. Fryo who also spoke about his finance said though music gave him fame, it never gave him money. He however also admitted that some people cheated him over his two albums, Denge Pose & Notice Me which he released back then. He however thanked them for all they did, because according to him, if they had not, he wouldn't have found himself being a land speculator which has now fetched him money.

"By the special grace of God, I made some good money as a land speculator. Apart from helping to keep body and soul together, the business has changed my life. But show business brought me to limelight and I could never have abandoned it," he said.

He is however working on shooting a video soon which he says will shoot him back into the industry, then release an album he is currently working on shortly after that. We wish him all the best.

Housewife stabs self to death over her husband's poor sexual performance

A 32-year-old housewife and evangelist, Nancy (surname withheld) in Okpanam Community, near Asaba in Delta State, allegedly committed suicide by stabbing herself to death on Saturday June 6th. Friends say she committed suicide after complaining about her husband's poor sexual performance since they got married.

Leadership reports that Nancy complained bitterly to a relative that she got to know of her husband's poor sexual prowess after they got married because they did not engage in premarital sex while dating.

Police officers at the Okpanam Police Division confirmed the incident but did not give the name of the couple involved. They said they saw her lifeless body in her room after the husband, who is an engineer, had gone to work. They say investigations into the matter is still ongoing.

Presidency dismisses rumours on Buhari's delayed relocation to Aso Villa

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to president Buhari, Shehu Garba released a statement yesterday describing as false, reports being circulated online that the reason Nigeria's new president hasn't relocated to Aso Villa was because he was advised by a Senegalese spiritualist not to do so for now. In the statement, Shehu said the report was embarrassing to say the least. He said the president is a Muslim who believes his fate belongs to God.

"The so-called spiritual cleansing of the Aso Rock Villa by Senegalese marabouts before President Buhari moves into the villa is the figment of the imagination of rumour mongers." He said

Shehu said renovation works at the villa was mostly the reason pres. Buhari hasn't moved to the Villa.

Man accuses AIG Joseph Mbu of torture, threat to life

Man accuses AIG Joseph Mbu of torture, threat to life

Alhaji Suleiman Yerima, a Lagos-based foreign exchange dealer has accused the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Lagos, Joseph Mbu, of directing policemen to torture him over a forex deal that went wrong.

The businessman said Mbu directed policemen from Zone 2 to torture him and one of the ways they tortured him was to dip his face into a bucket of water, a form of torture known as 'water-boarding', used to extract confessions from terrorists.

The man who has petitioned president Buhari said he was detained for 80 days by the police after he and a friend were picked up by the EFCC. He said his friend, a man named Uwem Antia was equally tortured and beaten. He claimed in his petition that Antia is lying critically ill in a Lagos hospital following several beatings and torture by the police which included 'hanging him on a pole like a roasted chicken from 11pm till the early hours of the morning.'

He said, "Over 250 people are in EFCC detention cells; some have stayed for four months, some six months. EFCC did water boarding to me and Antia and it was because a friend reached former IG Suleiman Abba that I was not beaten but my life is in danger, the policemen and EFCC officials are out to kill me."

Punch reports

Yerima said that his ordeal began on March 3, 2015, when EFCC operatives phoned him that he was needed at their office in respect of a petition written against him and Antia by one Denis Ale and Mrs. Gladys Aginwa, both of Standard Chartered Bank, Lagos.

The FOREX dealer stated that he visited the EFCC office with Antia in company with his lawyers and was shown the petition, in which Ale alleged that he gave him N120m to source for dollars and that he had not fulfilled the bargain.

Yerima said, "I told the operatives that it was not N120m but N627m which they sent to Uwem Antia's account with Zenith Bank. Antia, who is the Managing Director of Kafisto Oil and Gas Ltd., was the one that brought the customers to me and my duty was to source for dollars.

"When Mr. Antia confirmed the alert of N627m in his account, I gave them $1m in cash. The next day, Antia gave them the balance of $2.250m and both transactions were properly documented. During our interrogation, Antia supported our statements with documentary proof of evidence and clearly stated in his written and oral statements that I had given him the balance of $2.250m, which he delivered to Denis Ale."

In spite of Antia's statement and evidence exonerating him from any wrongful act in the transaction, the businessman said one Mr. Adeola, Head of BFF at the EFCC, still ordered that he and Antia should be detained.

Yerima stated that they were denied bail and access to their families and lawyers by the EFCC Director of Operations, IIiyasu Kwarbai, and that when they challenged the treatment, they were rushed to a magistrate court on March 12, where the commission obtained a detention order for 30 days.

He said, "On the evening of March 13 around 8pm, policemen from Zone 2, led by one DSP Dantoro, came to the EFCC detention facility. Antia was released to the officers on the instruction of Kwarbai and he was handcuffed by the officers and his legs chained.

"The officers started beating him mercilessly in the presence of EFCC officials, the policemen later took him away to their torture chamber at Zone 2 and continued the torture under the directive of Mr. Joseph Mbu and supervised by Dantoro."

But the EFCC denied detaining Yerima and Antia for extended period of time. The commission's spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, who said he was not aware of Yerima's case, noted that the anti-graft agency did not keep suspects in its custody unnecessarily.

When contacted by Punch, Joseph Mbu could not be reached for comment.

Snoop Dogg sues beer-maker Pabst for millions of dollars

Snoop Dogg sues beer-maker Pabst for millions of dollars

In 2011, 43-year old Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus Jr signed a three-year deal to be the face of Blast, a fruit-flavoured drink that was part of Pabst's Colt 45 malt beer range.

Under the terms of the agreement he was paid around $250,000 and further instalments of $20,000 for every tenth mention of the brand on social media, at concerts or during TV appearances.

But he believed his contract also entitles him to a portion of the sale price should Pabst sell the business before January 2016, as well as royalties on each case of Blast that was sold.

Consequently he is seeking 10 per cent of the net sales price paid to Pabst for its Colt 45 malt beer line, which was included in last year's sale to beer entrepreneur Eugene Kashper and an investment firm, so he is suing American beer company Pabst, claiming he is owed money from its sale last year.

Pabst wrote in a statement that it had not been contacted by Snoop Dogg or his representatives about the proceeds and cited the company's new management.

'We are investigating the matter and would be happy to talk to Snoop or his representatives to try to get to the bottom of this,' the statement said.

The lawsuit states Pabst told the rapper that the sale didn't trigger the clause entitling him to sale proceeds.

The deal to sell Pabst to Kashper and San Francisco-based TSG Consumer Partners LLC was finalized in November.

No purchase price was announced, but the lawsuit filed by the rapper's attorney, Alex Weingarten, states Pabst was reportedly sold for $700 million. It is unclear how much of the sale price was for the Colt 45 line of beers.
