Boko Haram threatens to kill judges over Al-Mustapha •ACF, Emirs hold secret meeting •Prisons Service renovates cell for Al-Mustapha •Al-Mustapha, Sho

The Boko Haram said once the death sentence was executed, it would extend its attack to judges and courts all over Nigeria.

The group’s spokesman, Abul Qaqa, was quoted to have said in a statement on Monday night: “Should the Nigerian government dare carry out the sentence announced earlier today on Major Hamzat Al-Mustapha (retd), the full-scale attacks will be expanded from security agencies and agents to the judiciary, from police stations to courts and so on. All chief justices, High Court judges and Appeal Court judges should take note. The blood of Al-Mustapha is the blood of the Nigerian masses.”

Hamza Al-Mustapha on the 30/01/2012 was led to death row

The 13 -year long trial of former chief security officer to Nigeria's infamous dictator, General Sanni Abacha ended dramatically today leading to a death sentence pronounced by a Lagos High court judge. Hamza Al Mustapha had ordered the killing of pro-democracy activist, Kudirat Abiola on June 4 1996 in broad daylight during the dark days of military despotism.

The man who was once one of the the most feared military officers is facing nemesis for his acts of impunity as an enforcer to a deadly military dictator. Al Mustapha was led to the death row in Kirikiri prison in Lagos after the verdict. But it wasn't without the support of a former Wimbledon soccer star, John Fashanu, who came to court to cheer for hitman.

Making sense of it is vital to all us.

A federal capital territory, FCT high court presided over by Justice Sulaiman Belgore on Tuesday 31st January 2012 discharged a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole and his deputy, Bayero Nafada of the corruption charges filed against them by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency,EFCC.

Bankole was arraigned last year of looting the accounts of the House of Representatives as speaker using the public account to borrow money from the banks, which were eventually laundered to buy choice properties at giveaway prices. Through such acts of money laundering his family is the proud owner of the NITEL building in Lagos as well as his former residence which was sold to him for meager N40 million.

So now they were acquitted on the basis that they have no case to answer in connection with a N40billion embezzlement charge.

Is this fair?

Trying something new?

N400k for a phone? It’s called Blackberry Porsche……that can go for a year’s rent for someone……..intriguing enough some students in some Nigeria universities are already in possession of it ………….wonder where all that money is coming from?

The tattoo is very similar to former heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson's tattoo,don't you think so?

First Rihanna tattooed "Thug Life" across her knuckles, and now Amber Rose, the 28-year-old model and aspiring singer appears to have had her face tattooed.

The former girlfriend of Kanye West was seen sporting a tribal design around her left eye as she hosted a party in Miami, Florida over the weekend with boyfriend rapper Wiz Khalifa.

The tattoo is very similar to former heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson's tattoo, a tribal design also located on the left hand side of his face.

Whether or not Amber's tattoo is permanent or fake, the vivacious blonde confidently showed off her new look. She flaunted her ample curves in a bright yellow tube dress, paired with a bleached and frayed denim jacket. She accessorised with some wacky sunglasses and plenty of gold jewellery.

Amber's new tattoo joins an array of tattoos located all over her voluptuous body. They include a rose design on her arm, flowers adorned on her stomach and animal paw prints running up her thigh.
