...As Embassy raises alert
• Two Kingpins under arrest
AS Nigerians are still trying to put behind the shame of the  rows which  engulfed some profile politicians in the country, who not too long ago got bad press for parading fake certificates, it appears  the scam  ring may have been smashed. The ring was recently exposed after a visa applicant with such fake documents was apprehended at the embassy which raised scam alert.

…For acts of indiscipline
WHEN the Federal Government recently released the whooping sum of N78billion for the reform of Nigeria Police, some citizens considered it a chicken feed given the enormous challenges to tackle. But some other groups on the other hand saw the project as a mere gamble that was not going to impact positively on the Force and launder its  image tainted over the years by some bad eggs within, ahead of the 2011 general elections. But Inspector General of Police, Ogbonnaya Onovo assured that the venture is necessary for the promotion of  the ethos of professionalism in the force and also ensuring  credible elections rid of  ballot boxes  snatching  and such irregularities come next year.

…Over Love SMS
• Dumps Body At Her Residence
WHEN the analogue telephone was the only means for  chatting with loved ones, just  a few rich Nigerians could afford that  luxury of life. But in 2004 the former President Olusegun Obasanjo administration  brought better life in  terms of  communications to the door-posts of majority Nigerians, through the introduction of GSM cell-phones in the country. However, the communication tool meant to bring joy to the users,  sadly is fast turning into a  source of chaos , weapon of destruction and anguish.  The latest ugly case on hand which  indeed smacks of  extreme obsession and insanity  was recently displayed  by 46-year-old, Emmanuel Adua,  a temperamental man who allegedly killed his mistress over love text messages he found in her cell-phone. The father of  five is currently  cooling of in police custody.

•Same Day Hubby Died
•Seizes  Property Documents
•Woman Cries For Justice
IT is quite disturbing and baffling that despite fast spreading spiritual knowledge of God and battery of religious men and women who flock to the churches and mosques daily, some people are still hooked onto the mundane wicked and evil widowhood practices, as were in the days of yore, in certain part of Nigeria.

A case just playing out in Nnewi, Anambra State, tends to buttress the sorry tales of widowhood in 21st Century Nigeria. National Daily Weekend  gathered that a family  has just  sacked  a widow  and her  three  kids from the properties owned by their  late breadwinner, and disposes them of documents of the  property barely  a few hours after passed on. The late man died in a plane crash   on his way to India for business.
This  wicked action has caused a war of attrition and is generating a serious cultural conflict in the family house of Onwubualili and the people of Ichi, in Nnewi, Anambra State south-East, Nigeria, an impeccable  source told National Daily Weekend.
