Cross River Govt dismisses Ebola rumour at Calabar Teaching Hospital

The Cross River Government says it is awaiting results of blood samples of a patient who died at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) with symptoms of what appeared viral hemorrhagic fever.

Sunday Omini, Director of Public Health in the state Ministry of Health, said this on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Calabar.

Mr. Omini was reacting to media reports that a suspected Ebola patient died in UCTH on Wednesday.

“We are aware of the situation and we have got preliminary reports from the hospital, and we are all awaiting the result of the blood samples.

“But judging from the information I have received so far, I am 90 per cent sure that it is not Ebola.

“However, we are on top of the situation, there is no cause for alarm,” he said.

Meanwhile, the management of UCTH said it had informed all relevant agencies about the development, including the National Centre for Disease Control, Federal Ministry of Health and Cross River government.

The statement said the public would be informed adequately as soon as results of the blood samples were released, adding that the hospital management had quarantined identified contacts.

Don’t Address Me As Nigeria’s Nicki Minaj – Dencia warn bloggers

Even though most people are of the opinion that she dresses like Nicki Minaj, controversial singer/ businesswoman Dencia has asked media houses to stop addressing her as ‘Nigeria’s Nicki Minaj.’

It all started when fashion blogger Ono Bello captioned a recent image of Dencia as; ‘Our very own Nicki Minaj @iamdencia wore an eye popping outfit designed by her for a club performance during #ParisFashionWeek #OnoBello.’

Obviously not satisfied with the caption, the Beri Beri crooner said: “Thanks for the continuous support, but I will like to be addressed as Dencia not a substitute of someone I made stuff for in the past. Don’t get me wrong Nicki is amazing but we both work hard for the substitute mentions & the mistaken identities. Thanks.”

Ebola scare in Calabar, 10 quarantined, FG dispatches medical team

The death of a patient with Ebola-like symptoms, at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, has created panic among residents of the city.

The patient, who was vomiting, stooling and bleeding from nose, was brought in from Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State with high body temperature.

The unidentified patient would eventually die after samples had been taken from him for investigation.

The Federal Ministry of Health however, says that the patient may have possibly died from Haemorrhagic fever, not necessarily Ebola.

Director, National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Prof. Abdulsalam Nasidi, stated that a medical team had been dispatched to Calabar to determine what killed the patient.

The government is also waiting for the result of the laboratory investigation, Nasidi added.

The accident and emergency ward of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital has been been quarantined pending the time investigations are carried out by the medical team.

Buhari asks ministerial nominees to go to Police for profiling

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday asked ministerial nominees to report to the Inspector General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, for profiling.

Reports say some of the nominees were sighted at the Louis Edet House, headquarters of the Nigeria Police, to take part in the exercise.

They were given verification forms on police profiling to fill.

Those who have already filled the forms include Audu Ogbe (Benue), Chris Ngige (Anambra), Udoma Udo Udoma (Akwa Ibom) and Abubakar Malami (Kebbi).

Others, who are on their way include Babatunde Fashola and some others.

A source explained that the reason for the exercise is for the police to carry out further investigations on the ministerial nominees.

This will be a hurdle the nominees will have to scale before they appear before the Senate for full clearance.

Alison-Madueke down with cancer – Family releases statement

Family of embattled former Petroleum Resources Minister, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, yesterday opened up on the money laundering allegations against her in London. They described media reports on the matter as a “smear campaign.”

In a related development, the family confirmed that the former minister is down with cancer, urging Nigerians to pray for her recovery.

A statement by the family said “there is a deliberate and vicious campaign to demonise members of the Madueke family with all manner of frivolous allegations.”

It dismissed reports alleging that the former minister’s son, Mr. Ugonna Madueke, owned choice properties in the United States.

“Mr. Ugonna Madueke,” the family insisted, “has no property anywhere in the United States and has never owned one. The Madueke family avers without any fear of contradiction that 11711 Scooter Lane (a three bedroom town house) in Fairfax, Virginia, was acquired by the Madueke family in 1997 when Ugonna was only 10 years old. Ugonna’s siblings lived in this property while attending George Mason University in Virginia, USA. Records available to the appropriate authorities in the United States can also show that 13116 Silver Maple Court in Bowie, Maryland, USA belongs to an uncle of the Madueke siblings and was purchased in 1995 when Ugonna was only eight years old.

“As a student of the University of Maryland in 2002, Ugonna stayed with his uncle at the said address. All of this was before Mrs. Diezani was appointed to government office. No Madueke or a distant relation has anything to do with the ownership of No. 4227 Summit Manor Court in Virginia.”

The Maduekes also denied claims that the former petroleum minister’s 81-year-old mother, Mrs. Beatrice Agama, owned a house in the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Alison-Madueke, the family said, did not attempt to buy a property on Hyde Park Street in London for between 12.5billion to 13 billion. The allegation, it said, “is utterly false and laughable.”

The family regretted that reporters did not contact them before publishing the allegations, saying Mrs. Alison-Madueke was neither arrested nor detained.

The statement said: “Despite all the frenzy over Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, not even one reporter or journalist has tried to contact the family to verify any of the rumours they have published with reckless abandon. This may be because they know the stories are false but they feed the mood of the moment. Hence, the silence from Diezani all along.

“It is worth emphasising that Mrs. Alison-Madueke was never arrested or detained and her passport was never seized. She was merely invited and she honoured it promptly .The Madueke and Agama families would want the decent public to know that neither Ugonna nor Somze or Abiye or anyone related to the two families was picked up or arrested or invited for questioning by anybody whatsoever.”

The family debunked reports claiming that the former minister’s husband, Rear Admiral Madueke took a team of lawyers to London to defend his wife, saying: “Ugonna’s father (the Rear Admiral) has been in Lagos and working in his office. The lies about his having travelled with a team of lawyers should stop.”

Confirming the health status of the former minister, the statement added: “Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke has been receiving treatment for cancer in the UK, which started while she was in office.

“The health crisis has unfortunately exacerbated in recent times. She completed months of chemotherapy just last week and is scheduled to undergo surgery next week in London. The family pleads with all reasonable Nigerians to pray for her recovery so that she can face this allegation and give account of her stewardship.”

This Man Killed His Mother, Cut Her Heart Out, Then Maturbated To Relieve Himself(Photos)

A man admitted to murdering his mum before slicing open her chest and removing her heart with his bare hands, it was reported.

Omar Pettigen reportedly told police he then masturbated as a "release" after mutilating the body of his mother Nailah Pettigen.

The 31-year-old was arrested five days after the horrific killing in Fremont, California, the Daily News reported.He was reportedly caught after his father, who lives in New Mexico, contacted police to check on his ex-wife and son after not hearing from them.

Officers arrived at the Pettigen's home and found Nailah, 64, dead in her bedroom with her underwear around her ankles, where she "appeared to have been disemboweled", according to police.

A post mortem showed the former maths teacher had been cut from her neck to her cervix and had also been shot at least seven times.

 Pettigen allegedly argued with his mother, who he claims pulled a gun on him, before he grabbed a hammer off the bedroom wall to knock the weapon from her hand.

He then allegedly returned with a tomahawk and beat her before shooting her in the back four times with a gun he retrieved from a wardrobe.

The son is then believed to have sliced open her chest with a knife and removed her heart with his bare hands before putting it back in her body.

Pettigen reportedly told police he murdered his mum because she was killing herself with the prescription painkillers oxycodone, which he claims she had become addicted to after hip and knee problems and surgery.

He allegedly added that, after the sickening attack, he masturbated because "he needed to be with himself and needed a release after the event" before going out drinking with friends, charging documents seen by the Daily News show.

World Marks First Week of No New Ebola Cases

Last week marked the first week of no new Ebola cases worldwide since the outbreak began in March 2014, the World Health Organization announced on Wednesday.

While the news is encouraging, there are still hundreds of contacts who are undergoing followup check-ins to make sure they stay healthy and the agency says the risk of transmission remains high.

“Case incidence has remained below 10 confirmed cases per week for 11 consecutive weeks,” the WHO writes in a statement. “Over the same period, transmission of the virus has been geographically confined to several small areas in western Guinea and Sierra Leone, marking a transition to a distinct, third phase of the epidemic.”

For a country to be declared Ebola-free, it must go 42 days without reporting a new case of the disease. The most recent case numbers from the WHO show that since the beginning of the outbreak there have been a total of 28,421 people who have been infected in the hardest hit countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia since the start of the outbreak. Among those infected, a total of 11,297 people have died.

These robbers claim Police supplied them with guns(Photo)

A five-man robbery gang led by a fake policeman in Abbatoir, Agege, have been arrested by the real police.

In his defense, the fake policeman identified as Joel Ojo, said the guns and the police Identity Card recovered from the gang were given to him by Muhammed, his friend who is a Chief Superintendent of Police in Abuja.

The arrest which was made on Monday, September 28, at about 11pm, happened when the gang members, were stopped by a police patrol team, and their vehicle searched.

Two pump-action rifles, two pistols with several cartridges, a police I.D. card and a police uniform were said to have been recovered from the car, while the suspects were arrested.

They were thereafter transferred to the state Special Anti-Robbery Squad for further investigation.

But 58-year-old Ojo claims he was taking the rifles for repair and that he used the guns for security work, and not robbery.

He said, “We were arrested at about 11pm for driving against the traffic. The guns were in my car and I was taking them for repair. I am not the owner of the guns. I started to use the police I.D. card and the guns early this year. I work as a security man.

“Just assist me. The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Kokumo, ordered our arrest.

“We were taken to SARS. As I speak with you, I am having headache and I cannot speak too much. It was one of my police friends who gave me the I.D. card and the guns. He is my friend; he is a CSP. He had also worked as a Divisional Police Officer. He knew I was a security man and he said I should have them. His name is CSP Muhammed attached to the Force headquarters, Abuja.”

Prostitute bites off customer’s ear over refusal to ‘settle’

One Precious Osas, 36, has been arrested and reportedly charged before an Isolo Magistrates’ Court for biting off the ear of Omokwa Chikwado, a 25-year-old man.

The incident occurred over a scuffle, which emerged after sex at an unidentified hotel in Okota, Lagos State, where they lodged for a night, P.M News reports.

Osas, a commercial sex worker, allegedly collected N3, 500 from Chikwado for an all-night sex romp but failed to fulfill her own part of the bargain.

Trouble started after Osas reportedly allowed Chikwado a round of sex and told him she wasn’t ready for another round until he paid her more money.

However, Osas allegedly struggled to cope with Chikwado throughout the period the sex lasted because of his high libido.

Chikwado, according to reports, was angered as Osas didn’t meet her side of the bargain.

He reportedly started an argument, which resulted in exchange of words and a fight ensued between the alleged sex partners.

During the fight, Osas allegedly grabbed Chikwado’s right ear and bit off part of it and Chikwado who was bleeding profusely, raised an alarm which attracted the attention of the hotel workers.

Reports revealed that the duo were handed over to the police at Ikota division.

Chikwado on interrogation at the station told the police how he paid Osas N3, 500 for sex throughout the night and equally paid extra N350 for registration.

He said afterwards, Osas allowed him to have sex only once and told him if he wanted another round, he should pay extra money.

Subsequently, Osas reportedly admitted that Chikwado paid the said amount and she allowed him to have sex with her as agreed, but that after the first round, he was demanding for extra round which she refused, noting that Chikwado had a high libido because he was drunk.

According to reports, the police charged Osas with conducting herself in a disorderly manner by inflicting grievous harm on Chikwado.

Osas, however, pleaded not guilty.

The Magistrate, Mrs. O. A. Adebayo, granted her bail in the sum of N50, 000 with one surety in like sum, and ordering that she be remanded at Kirikiri prison pending when she will perfect her bail conditions.

Adebayo adjourned the case till 19 October, 2015.

Nigeria’s secret police, the State Security Service, SSS, on Tuesday arrested a PREMIUM TIMES editor, Ibanga Isine, while carrying out his duties.

Mr. Isine, who is the newspaper’s regional editor, was reporting from a federal High Court in Abuja when he was arrested. He had gone there for cases slated for the day, among them, the trial of Charles Okah, the alleged mastermind of the 2010 Independence Day bombing in Abuja.
