An Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) will take charge of security as the Independent National Electoral Commission holds supplementary gubernatorial election in Adamawa State today. The exercise is seen as a straight contest between Governor Jibrilla Bindow of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). It was gathered that the AIG Zone 3 Yola, Haruna Huzi Mshellia and the Adamawa State Commissioner of Police, Adamu Audi Madaki were on ground to manage security as there was no deployment of additional senior officers from the headquarters so far. The APC, which had earlier threatened to boycott today election, also made a U-turn saying it will now participate.

Governor Yahaya Bello This is to inform His Excellency, Governor Yahaya Bello that Kupa Ward which is regarded as one of the largest Ward in Lokoja II of   Kogi State , have borne the brunt of deplorable roads and complete neglect by the past government for several years. The difficulties posed by deplorable roads have made life unbearable to the great people of this community. It seemed all their pleas to the past government to repair their roads have yielded no positive outcome. They've pleaded, lamented and prayed endlessly for government intervention, but all their efforts for redemption have proved futile. The Community needs regular power supply, potable water, good roads and excellent medical care as these are the basic needs required. The provision of these facilities will foster rapid rural development and help to checkmate the rural-urban drift being experienced. The good people of this community are imploring the governor to reconstruct the Jamata-Bud...

By Carol V. Utulu/Asaba Paul Onuachu scored one of the fastest goals in world football, as Nigeria beat Egypt 1-0 in an international friendly played on Tuesday in Asaba. The Denmark-based striker scored in the opening five seconds of the first half, when he fired a thunderous shot past Egyptian goalkeeper, Abdelrehim Mahmoud from outside the 18 yard box.

According to Total Sportek, Damian Mori, an A-League striker scored a goal in 3.69 seconds for his Adelaide City club against Sydney United in 1995. Ex-Arsenal and Germany International, Lukas Podolski has a record of scoring another fast goal, when he scored in 6 seconds in an international friendly between Germany and Ecuador in 2013. FIFA recognises this as the fastest goal in international football. Onuachu will now take over the mantle from Podolski. The early goal however spurred the Egyptians as they took control of the midfield, putting the Ni...

President Buhari and his Chinese counterpart Xi-Jinping By Victor Asije Prof. Muyiwa Falaiye, the Director of the Institute of African and Diaspora Studies (IADS), University of Lagos (UNILAG), on Tuesday said the Chinese had seen opportunities in factors that posed challenges to Nigerians. Falaiye told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that it was so because Nigerians at home and abroad had yet to realise the huge opportunities in their country due to perceived challenges.

The Kano State Government has challenged anyone with proof of killings during the supplementary governorship election of March 23 to come forward with it. Malam Mohammed Garba, the Commissioner of Information, gave the challenge while addressing a news conference in Kano. According to Garba, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) claimed two persons were killed in Nasarawa Local Government but when they went to the area and to Nasarawa Hospital, they were unable to get report of any death.   He maintained that if there was any person who witnessed the killing of somebody in Nasarawa LG or anywhere, he or she should come forward with proof.
