I’m not in possession of $620,000 bribe money – Rep




BY Okey Ndiribe & Emman Ovuakporie
ABUJA—CHAIRMAN of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes, Mr. Jagaba Adams Jagaba, has denied knowledge of the $620,000 alleged bribe money said to be in his custody.
Former Chairman of the House’s subsidy committee Mr. Farouk Lawan, had said he kept the money with him.
In a letter dated June 19, addressed to Speaker Aminu Tambuwal, Jagaba said: “I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that there was never a time I was in possession of the sum of 620,000 dollars or any other exhibits (in my personal capacity or official capacity as Chairman of the House Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes) relating to the subject matter of the above investigation.
“I hope this explanation lays to rest once and for all the claims that I or my committee is in possession of the sum 620,000 dollars purportedly given as bribe to the Ad-hoc Committee on Monitoring of Fuel Subsidy Regime.”
Jagaba’s letter, entitled Re-Investigation Activities: Request for Handing Over of Exhibits in Connection With a Case of Criminal Conspiracy and Taking Gratification to Prevent the Course of Justice, was in response to another letter from Tambuwal directing Jagaba to react to the claim.
The Speaker had forwarded a letter from the IGP, Mohammed Abubakar, to Jagaba for his reaction, and subsequent action of the Speaker, on the $620,000  exhibit and other evidence that may be of use to the investigation.

Cannibal Cult Killed Seven Evil Sorcerers, Used Their Penises to Make Soup

Papua New Guinea – 29 members of a militant group seeking revenge against rogue witch doctors were arrested by police in Papua New Guinea and charged with killing at least seven people. In addition to murdering the “evil sorcerers,” it is believed the cannibal cult also consumed portions of their victims’ brains and other organs, and prepared soup from their penises in an effort to become bulletproof. The anti-sorcerer group, which is believed to have as many as 1,000 active participants, was organized after witch doctors, who traditionally charge 1000 kina ($472), a pig, and a bag of rice to determine a cause of death or ward off evil spirits, began demanding sex as well. Many residents of Papua New Guinea believe natural causes are not sufficient to explain misfortune, illness, accidents, or death, but it conflicts with traditional ethics “for a sorcerer to have intercourse with a man’s wife or teenage daughter,” a local cult leader is quoted as saying.

I THOUGHT MY WIFE WAS PREGNANT FOR ME UNTIL ALEKWU ARRESTED HER IN LABOUR

Alekwu (or spirits of the ancestors) is greatly feared in Idomaland. It forces witches, ‘ritualists’, murderers, adulterous wives and men who pay for abortions to either die mysteriously or confess their evil. The rules are endless…but the aim is simple: live righteously. Find out how it ‘forced’ a confession out of a woman who was wicked enough to be sleeping with another man on her matrimonial bed.         My name is Samson and I hail from Otukpa in Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State. The story I am about to share with you is one that shook my whole life to the very foundation. It is very easy to forgive others the wrongs done us. However, to forget is another thing that is often demanded of us but almost impossible.   Even though I am still in my early 30s, it is important to say that I have become a very wise man in understanding women. The love they give, the pain and misery they are capable of causing us and the chameleon in them. A wo...

STRANGE MEETING: HOW A PROSTITUTES-PATRONIZING SON MET HIS MOTHER IN A BROTHEL AS HIS ‘WOMAN FOR THE NIGHT’.

Asuquo had always loved and adored his mother.  Since his father was killed by armed robbers many years ago, she had provided for him and his siblings.  They went to a good school and their school fees were paid as at when due. Asuquo, the first child of three children and now 18, was taught from a very young age, to protect his siblings, Rose and Abel.  He recalls an incident that led to their transfer from their first school. He was sent on an errand to the Staff Room by his English language teacher and had to pass through Abel’s class.  Peeping through one of the open windows, he saw Abel crying as he struggled to balanced his tired legs in an awkward position.  Asuquo knew the punishment.  It was called ‘Smoke a Cigarette’.   The offender was required to stand on one foot while passing his hand through the second leg, hung in the air.  The fingers would be stretched to the mouth to imitate a smoker.  Everyone knew how painful ...
