Ibrahim
 
A deaf and dumb University graduate identified as Ibrahim, has been crushed to death in Lagos around 2pm on Tuesday. He was reportedly walking along the track when a train that just took off from the Iddo station crushed him to death at the Oyingbo area of Lagos State. 
 
According to residents who are eye witness, all efforts to save him were abortive as he did not respond to alerts until it was too late.  His body was cut into two. The train was said to have hit him, as residents watched in horror.
 
 
A witness said: "Ibrahim was a graduate of a university in Ibadan, Oyo State. He came to Lagos to work. He was deaf and dumb. Around 2pm, after observing the Islamic prayer, we saw him walking beside the track; then he entered the main track.

When we saw the train hooting and he continued walking, we became alarmed. Some people threw water on him, while others even threw stone at him. But he did not pay attention. He merely shook them off and readjusted his cap."

A passenger became so frustrated that she took off her skirt at London Stansted airport to protest airport security delays. Eimear Ni Ghiallgairrh was arrested by police after she undressed in front of a queue of passengers.
 
The 29-year-old from Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, was travelling to Barcelona on January 21 for an architecture job interview and had arrived at the airport only 90 minutes before her flight.
 
According to reports, the former primary school teacher said she took the drastic step after she stepped through a body scanner only to be told by staff that she was considered dangerous and may be concealing something.
 
The woman revealed she had to strip to show security men she was not concealing anything on her person to make things go faster on the queue.
 
As she was arrested she broke her thumb before being escorted to an on-site police station where she was held for 15 hours and then released, Metro reports.
 
Prosecutor Karen Phillips, told the court: ‘She refused to be searched, became heated, got agitated and removed her skirt, standing in her tights.
 
‘Members of the public around were distressed as she was undressing. She also banged on the desk angrily.’
 
However, she was fined £80 after pleading guilty to disorderly behaviour and criminal damage at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court and ordered to pay another £70 in costs.

Chaos As Sheriffs Storm P-Square's Residence to Make Property Seizure on Court Orders



The home of popular pop superstars, the sensational P-Square, have been taken over by court sheriffs who have a court order to seize property at the residence.
 
P-Square
 
Lagos High Court Sheriffs stormed the home of music duo, P-Square, at about 5.30 this morning with a court order to seize property following a judgement against them.
 
According to LIB, when the Sheriffs arrived at P-Square's home, the security men at the gate refused them entry, saying the brothers were not home. However, the sheriffs allegedly forced their way in injuring one security guard (pictured below).

Speculations have been rife about what the problem might be that warranted seizure of the music giants' home but one source who spoke anonymously has revealed the real background.
 
The source revealed that some years ago, there was a show in Benin that the P-Square brothers were supposed to perform in. They were reportedly paid N1million for the gig, but when the brothers arrived Benin for the show, they were told that the show had been postponed till the next day. P-Square however, refused to stay till the next day and returned to Lagos.
 
The organizer of the show who was enraged, demanded for his money back and when he didn't get it, he took the case to court. He got a court judgement and promptly moved to Lagos.
 
The source further said the case had been in court all this while but the P-Square brother's weren't really aware of it as no one represented them. It looks like judgement may have been passed in abstention, which brought the court Sheriffs to their home today.
 
They tried to tow a vehicle after showing the papers brought from the court but no one would allow them take any car away.

I Won't Allow Masquerades Testify Against Me - Nnamdi Kanu Blasts FG Today in Court

Director of Radio Biafra who appeared in court for trials today in Abuja has opposed the application of the federal government to protect the identities of witnesses in his trial, describing them as 'masquerades'.

Embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has opposed the application of the President Buhari-led federal government to protect the identities of witnesses in his trial, describing them as 'masquerades'. 
 
As the hearing of the application of Radio Biafra director began, counsel to the Department of State Services (DSS), David Kaswe, the prosecution, informed Justice John Tsoho of the federal high court, Abuja, that there was a possibility for witnesses to refuse testifying against Kanu, without protection.
 
David Kaswe, the prosecution emphasised that it was important that witnesses be protected in the trial, explaining that the crux of the application was to seek the protection of witnesses, and not to cause a secret trial. 
 
Counsel to Kanu, Chuks Muoma (SAN), argued that what the prosecution was asking for was a secret trial, and prayed the court to draw a distinction between a closed trial and protection of witnesses. He added that the application implied that masked individuals would be testifying before the court.
 
However, the prosecution countered his argument, saying that most of the witnesses were civilians who reside in the location of the accused person, and were as such vulnerable to influence. "We also ask that these press men will not make public identities and residential locations of these witnesses," he said. 
 
Citing section 364 of the 1999 constitution (as amended), Muoma, said that there was no provision for 'masquerades' to testify as witnesses in a case as such as that of Kanu. He explained that protection of witnesses could only be applied to terrorism cases, and not to that of his client, who is facing charges of treasonable felony.
 
"An accused person under our jurisprudence must be confronted with his accusers eyeball to eyeball. My lord, it is compatible and common sense with jurisprudence that you cannot accuse someone in the streets in public and try him in the bedroom."
 
After listening to the arguments of the counsel, the judge adjourned the matter to 2:00pm for ruling.
