Police round up 12 teenage suspects over lesbianism

Hell was let loose, last week, in Oto-Owori area, Ijanikin, Lagos State, after a 16-year-old member of the famous Abogun family, made startling confessions about how she was initiated into cultism and lesbianism by the younger sister of her uncle’s wife. Parents of the victim who were shocked by the confession reportedly alerted the police after she was caught while attempting to sneak out of the house with some items demanded by her cult members.

Revelations
According to the victim (names withheld), who completed her secondary education in June, “it was Tope who introduced me into lesbianism and cultism early last year. On Friday, at about 7-8pm, I received a call from Tope that I should bring my red jacket, which is the cult uniform and a jack-knife for her. While I was attempting to sneak out of the house to meet her, I was accosted by my brothers who checked the bag I was carrying and found the cult jacket and the jack-knife. They called on my parents who demanded to know how I got those items.

Becoming lesbian partner
“Initially, she forced me into becoming her lesbian partner. She threatened me that if I failed to do it, my life was at stake. When I became her lover, we took a blood oath as Tope used a blade to cut my hand and licked the blood. She also cut her hand and asked me to lick the blood. She threatened that she must not see me with anyone, whether male or female but she was free to go out with others as she has other lovers. I have been her lover for over a year now and I became her lover before I completed my secondary education.
“After Tope introduced me to lesbianism, she forced me into their cult. The night I was initiated into Aiye cult, I was blindfolded. Members of the cult gave me a gun to take an oath, declaring that I would not reveal anything about the cult to anyone. They said if I ever revealed anything about the cult to anyone, the same gun that I used to take the oath would be used to take my life. Thereafter, about twenty of the males present at the initiation slept with me one after the other.

Strange gun appears
“Two months ago, I stole my father’s N50, 000 and gave to her. There was a time she gave me a gun to keep for her. I kept the gun in my book-shelf two days. She gave the gun to me because she said she couldn’t take it home. Later, she collected it and gave it to a member of the cult. I really don’t know what they use the weapon for. The red jacket which is the cult uniform was given to me by Segun. He is the leader of the Aiye cult. Since I became a member, I haven’t been able to go anywhere with them because of how difficult it is for me to leave home as my parents don’t allow me out after 6pm, and most of their activities are usually in the night. There was a time they asked me to trail my elder brother because they said he is arrogant.”

Shooting at birthday party
In her defence, 18-year-old Tope (surname withheld) who initially confessed that she gave the gun to Kemi to keep because she could not take it home, later denied the allegation that she is a cultist.

According to her, “I have known Kemi from my childhood. I am a salesgirl. I was arrested because the victim said I introduced her into cultism and lesbianism but I am not a cultist, and she didn’t give me money.

“I have not seen Kemi for more than a month now, since my birthday which I celebrated on June 21. Although they fired a gun at my birthday party, I don’t know who fired the gunshot but Samuel was with a gun that night, and I know that Samuel is a cultist and he attended my birthday party. It was a cult guy called Daddy that threatened that if I refuse to join their cult, he will deal with me and shoot me in the legs with a gun.”

Recruiting young girls as armourers
Crime Alert gathered that young girls were recruited into the cult group as they are used as armourers who keep the ammunitions for them any time they go for operation. It was learned that based on the revelations, the Divisional Police Officer in-charge of Ijanikin Division of Lagos State, SP Robinson Eregare, swung into action and succeeded in clamping down on all the suspected cultists connected with the victim’s initiation. Among those arrested were Musa Kareem, Austine Ebosoje and ten others.

Police reacts
Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu said Temitope Famati, an 18-year-old lesbian, Ogunsan Kemi , another 20-year-old lesbian, Oseni Lukman, 30; Chidi Okafor, 25; Musa Kareem, 26; Austine Ebozoje, a 19- year-old pirate, Segun Sowumi, Olatokunbo Babatunde, 18; Gbelebu Samuel, 17 and Hussan Azeez, 30, were among the cultists arrested so far.

Who Defines You in 2015?

By John Sprague 

Who and what defines you in the summer of 2015? Are you just taking every day as it comes your way with no real direction? Do you ever wonder why some other people are successful and you are not? It takes vision and a plan that you can set in motion. It is time to start re-thinking how you are using your God-given special gifts. Yes, you have them but you have been drifting. It is high time you take advantage of what you were given and then start a plan of action.

Earl Nightingale said "You become what you think about". What are you thinking about? It is time to use your gift and re-direct your vision to productivity. If you don't do that, no one is going to do it for you.
Nightingale believed that to be really successful, you needed to plant your goals in your mind. What we plant, then can be harvested and returned to us in the form of success or failure. With this in mind, be sure to plant some realistic goals. Have the determination and drive to bring those possible and positive goals to the finish line. It will take a lot of work but it will be worth it in the long run.

Embark on a search for knowledge. Get off the computer and go to the library where it is quiet and less distractive. Read about successful people and how they did things to reach their goals. Start being influenced by the right sources and successful people. Change your environment and make a fresh start.

Napoleon Hill had lived in poverty but went on to be a highly successful individual. He wrote "Think and Grow Rich". "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" he said. See how Nightingale was influenced by Napoleon Hill. Well he in turn was influenced by Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie believed that the process of success could be elaborated in a simple formula that could be duplicated by the average person.

Since he was impressed by the younger Hill, he commissioned him to interview many successful business men to discover and publish such a formula. Do and think how successful people think. Take the special gifts and use them effectively utilizing the wisdom of past successful people. Carnegie had a plan and goal and was incredibly successful in the steel industry.

Inspiration can come from past figures or from current motivational speakers such as Anthony Robbins. Put one of his recordings on at bedtime and be inspired by him as you aspire to greatness. You don't need to re-invent the wheel. It is already available. There is much you can learn from those who have climbed the ladder of success already. Today, you can also find a mentor who is willing to share some acquired knowledge.

Now is the time to start being productive. Change your direction with a good attitude. Get on the right path. Set some goals and make it happen by taking advantage of your special gift or gifts. Just think about what you possess that is different than anyone else in the world.

John utilizes his 30 years working in a diverse selection of jobs from Electronics, Inventory, Operations, Manufacturing, Restaurant & Bar ownership to a more recent nine years of overseas military and embassy contract work. Presently I am newly retired and trying to keep busy. I'm doing some writing, reading and working on a church website at (http://www.gracemethodistbangor.org) in addition to spending time with family. Some of the previous articles stress that a good attitude is everything and defines us. Our attitude gives us opportunities that we might not receive otherwise. A current article investigates the need for a graceful attitude in our lives. - John.

Obamamania sweeps Kenya as resourceful businesses cash in on visit

Obama's visit to his father's homeland might be a short one, but Kenyan entrepreneurs are hoping that it will have long lasting benefits on the country's economic development.

Preparations have been in full swing for weeks, with Nairobi abuzz with excitement and anticipation.

The U.S. president will travel to the Kenyan capital later this week to address the sixth Global Entrepreneurship Summit. The immediate consequences of the visit will be clearly felt in the city, with airways and roads gearing up for a complete lockdown.

#Obamigration

Many will undoubtedly flock to Nairobi for the event, but some might actually want to get away from the chaos.

One travel agency has playfully capitalized on this, offering an escape route to those who'd rather dwell in calmer pastures.

"Nairobi is going crazy as we wait for POTUS to come -- It's a big deal for our country but this comes with a lot of uncertainty around traffic jams, communication, security and all these funny looking helicopters we are seeing," Agosta Liko, CEO of Pesapal/Ticketsasa, told CNN.

"That's why we thought of #Obamigration, to offer easy 'Get out of Town' weekend escapes."

The catchy idea seems to be paying off: "We are having a record month because of the #Obamigration Campaign. Kenya offers a lot for travelers no matter the budget, time and country of origin. President Obama's visit will make it easier for our tourism industry to continue growing."

The hashtag, which first appeared last year when Obama unveiled new immigration policies, is not the only one currently re-purposed for the historic trip: the preparations in Nairobi are, in fact, being hailed as a new #Obamacare.

Obama craze

Overall, the city is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on renovations, while the Kenyatta International convention center, where the summit will be held, has received refurbishment and security enhancements to the tune of SH300 million ($3 million), according to local reports.

Particular care has been taken to clean up and secure the highways and streets that will witness the passage of "The Beast," the armored car that will transport the President, which has been spotted in Nairobi days ahead of Obama's arrival.

The Obama craze has spared no sector, from mobile phone ringtones offering extracts from his speeches, to bespoke billboards highlighting products of all kinds in the light of the President's arrival.

And while the disruption brought on by the lockdown might actually impair the daily routine of some businesses, the overall effect promises to be beneficial in the long term, analysts say.

Boosting ties

In an article published by Roll Call, Kenya's Ambassador to the United States, Robinson Njeru Githae, has expressed the wish that the visit will strengthen the business links between the two countries, noting that "With deposit insurance covering 95 percent of bank accounts and more than half of Kenyans participating in mobile-phone banking, Kenya's financial sector is an engine of economic growth."

He also requests that the U.S. allow nonstop flights to and from Kenya, promoting trade and tourism -- a plea that will be renewed during the summit, in the hope that the FAA will grant Kenya the "category one" status required for U.S. airlines to offer direct flights.

In a video released ahead of the summit, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta welcomed Obama to a "land of opportunity," stating that "Kenya is a country that epitomizes the transformational power of possibility, a land once know for its savannah, now earning international repute as a Silicon Savannah."

Turkish fighter jets pound ISIL positions in Syria

Turkey has launched air strikes against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) positions in Syria following a suicide bomb attack by a suspected ISIL affiliate in Suruc.

Three F-16 fighter jets bombed three ISIL targets from Diyarbakir airbase shortly before 4am local time on Friday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's office said in a statement.

"Four guided bombs targeted two headquarters and an assembly point," the statement said.

Meanwhile, Turkish anti-terrorism police raided more than 100 suspected ISIL, Kurdish and leftist armed group locations across the country in an overnight operation late Thursday.

One member of the Marxist Revolutionary People's Liberation Party Front (DHKP/C), was killed in an exchange of fire with police forces during the raids in the Bagcilar neighbourhood of Istanbul.

The Istanbul raids, carried out in 26 districts of the city, were supported by 5,000 police officers and helicopters.

In Ankara, at least nine people were detained in 12 different locations.

In total, similar operations were carried out in 13 provinces, resulting in 251 detentions, according to the coordination centre of the Turkish Prime Ministry.

The air strikes and raids came shortly after US defence officials said Ankara had agreed to allow US planes to launch air strikes against ISIL from its airbase at Incirlik, close to the Syrian border.

The decision was disclosed on Thursday, a day after a telephone call between President Barack Obama and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, and follows long-time reluctance by Ankara to become engaged in the fight against ISIL fighters.

Turkey has faced increasing insecurity along its 900km border with Syria.

Earlier on Thursday, Turkey fired tank shells across the frontier after fire from ISIL fighters killed a Turkish soldier near Kilis, an area where Ankara had recently sent reinforcements.

The ability to fly manned bombing raids out of Incirlik, a major base used by both US and Turkish forces, against targets in nearby Syria could be a big advantage. Such flights have had to fly mainly from the Gulf.

The US officials declined to give details of the agreement with Turkey, and spokesmen declined to confirm it officially, saying it was up to Turkey to confirm. Turkish officials declined to comment on the report.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama and Erdogan agreed to "deepen" cooperation in the fight against ISIL.

Asked specifically about the use of Incirlik, he told reporters: "I'm not able to talk about some of those issues because of specific operations security concerns".

The news came as one Turkish army officer has been killed and two soldiers injured in cross-border gunfire with ISIL fighters inside Syria on Thursday.

Turkish media reported that ISIL fighters shot at the Turkish army in Kilis, a Turkish border town. Anadolu News Agency reporters told Al Jazeera that the Turkish army immediately retaliated by attacking an ISIL base on Syrian territory, killing at least one fighter.

Al Jazeera's Mohammed Jamjoom, reporting from Suruc, said there was tension at the Turkish-Syrian border.

"The Turkish media is saying that this [exchange of fire] is very substantial," he said. "Turkish media is calling this the first direct clashes between ISIL and Turkish military."

Clashes continued late on Thursday, with the Turkish army heavily targeting ISIL targets in Syria.

The Turkish military released a statement confirming the reports of the officer's death, stating that five ISIL fighters opened fire on the soldiers who then returned fire.

"One officer was killed and two soldiers were wounded," the statement said.

Following the attack, the Turkish government deployed more forces on the Syrian border.
