Top newspaper investigation-Ombatse massacre: The untold story.

Almost a month after the unusual massacre of over 100 security operatives in Nassarawa State, more facts are yet to be revealed on the factors that led to the killing. Likewise, the details of exactly how the act was carried out and the seeming inability of the state to fish out actors behind the killing to punish them are yet to unfold.

The dismal atmosphere that enveloped Lafia is yet to improve since the Tuesday, May 7, mayhem.

The group allegedly responsible for the killing is the Ombatse, a dreaded sect as bloody as it is a secret spiritual cult of the Eggon tribe in the state.

Daily Sun visited Lafia and Alakyo to discover that a pall of despondency still pervades these areas. Residents are yet to recover from the shock that accompanied the mass murder.

In fact, there is still considerable disquiet about the safety of residents as fear of a reprisal attack is still present.

Top newspaper investigation-Behold Nigeria’s oldest prison .

Located in the quiet, landlocked, stony, ancient Idah, the headquarters of Igala Kingdom in Kogi State, North-central Nigeria, Idah Prison built in 1901 by the British colonialists, is unarguably the oldest existing prison in Nigeria. An outsider who sees the prison’s high fence would begin to wonder if it has existed for that length of time since it has the semblance of other prison fences across the country, but that is the fence built by the Federal Government of Nigeria much later to give the colonial prison a modern outlook. As you wade through the tight security at the main gate, you find yourself inside a compound that serves as the front of the administrative block which forms part of the modern fence.

Then, right in front of you is the ancient building with all the attributes of an antiquity. Divided into two wings of

Top newspaper investigation-Inside Nigeria’s Drug Cartel’s Factory.

AFTER years of test running, importation and distribution Nigerian, drug barons have changed their strategy: they now produce locally, illicit hard drugs. And their raw materials are toxic wastes.

This stunning discovery came 25 years after the Italian businessman, Gianfranco Rafaelli, imported over 8,000 drums of toxic wastes into the country and dumped some in the sleeping town of Koko in Warri North Local Council of Delta State.

These merchants are generating toxic wastes, which are more dangerous than the ones received by Mr. Sunday Nana, the man who ignorantly harboured the Koko toxic dump for a monthly fee of $50 in 1987.

In the past, drug pushers from Nigeria used to go through the traditional routes of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand and Latin American countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia and Peru.

Top newspaper report-Cashing of third-party cheques above N150,000 stops today !

The cash-less policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria enters a new phase today (Monday) as the maximum ceiling of N150,000 placed on conversion of third-party cheques to cash by individuals takes off.

The implication is that any cheque above N150,000 originating from a third party must be lodged into the beneficiary’s account.

The policy, according to the CBN, is one of the measures being put in place to discourage the use of cash in the system.

Consequently, some deposit money banks have sent text messages to their customers to intimate them of the new policy.

A message sent by one of the banks reads, “Dear customer, kindly note that from June 1, 2013, third-party cheques over N150,000 cannot be cashed over the counter but should be lodged into your account.”

Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has dismissed claims that Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State’s political travails was connected to the N500 million he allegedly donated towards his re-election.

It was reported in one of the national dailies that Amaechi’s travails may not be unconnected with his alleged donation of N500 million to Oshiomhole for his second term campaigns but in a press release signed by his Special Adviser (Media), Mr. Kassim Afegbua, Friday, and made available to newsmen in Benin City, Oshiomhole emphatically stated that at no time did Amaechi donate any money to his second term campaign funds.

According to him, “We had thought of ignoring this so-called allegation as another spurious, very ridiculous and roguish claim by an unnamed PDP chieftain, but for the sake of history and posterity, it is instructive to state that there was no time the Rivers State Governor Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi donated any money, let alone the sum of N500 million either directly or by proxy, to the campaign funds of the Comrade Governor, Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole.

Twenty minutes to midnight on February 25, 2013, and a day before the board of the Central Bank of Nigeria was due to meet, Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi developed a craving for romance—he badly needed a kiss.

The governor, married, with children, grabbed his mobile phone and typed out a message. “Maybe you should come kiss me before board meeting tomorrow,” Mr. Sanusi wrote and then squeezed the send button.

At about 9 a.m. the next day, Mrs. Maryam Yaro, a married mother of two, an assistant director and subordinate to the governor at the CBN, arrived Sanusi’s unnamed Abuja hotel, seeking to keep the date and help address her boss’ craving for a kiss. (Insiders say board members, including those who live in Abuja, are usually lodged in hotels ahead of board meetings).

But by the time Mrs. Yaro left the hotel to return to her official desk at the CBN, the duo had also struck out an arrangement to spend the rest of the week together in Lagos.

So, in the evening of Wednesday February 27, Mrs. Yaro flew to Lagos ahead of Mr. Sanusi and checked into a hotel in the
