REVEALED: Why Naeto C Left Storm Records
 |
| Naeto C |
The reason, however is not strange as the rapper revealed his plans to fully launch his WKG/Cerious Music label in a matter of months.
Unlike the many breakups that have preceded Naeto’s, the rapper’s exit is not battlemented; both parties have been very silent about the issue. As a matter of fact, Storm Records insist that the rapper is still signed with them.
One of the label’s directors Tola Odunsi admits that Naeto has had his own record label Cerious Music for a while but is still with Storm.
Naeto joined Storm Records in 2006, returning from the US where he had already formed a rap group with close friend Ikechukwu and his younger brother Uzikwendu called ‘World Famous Akademy’. With the smash hit single ‘Kini big deal’, he released his debut album ‘You Know my P’ in 2008; parted ways with Ikechukwu who left Strorm in 2010 and then released a successful second album ‘Super C Season’ in February 2011.
Storm Records headed by Obi Asika and Olisa Adibua (the pair are currently in a legal battle) have in the past signed an impressive long list of acts including Jazzman Olofin, Darey, GT the Guitarman, 2shotz, General Pype. They currently have on their roaster rappers Sasha, Yung6ix, Pop singer Ms Jaie, Urban-Pop group L.O.S and gospel singer Tosin Martins.

Woolwich Terror Murder Suspect’s Name And Identity Revealed
 |
| Michael Adebolajo |
One of the two terror suspects being held under armed guard at hospitals in London has been named as Michael Adebolajo(picture above).
The men were arrested following the hacking to death of a serving soldier in the street in Woolwich, southeast London.
Sky’s crime correspondent Martin Brunt said Adebolajo is a 28-year-old Londoner of Nigerian descent.
“He was born in Lambeth, grew up in east London. There are still members of his family living in the area.
“He was a student at Greenwich University, but it is not clear what he was studying there. Already on Facebook there are comments from former pupils say that they went to school with him in east London.”
Police investigating the attack have been searching an address in Lincolnshire believed to be connected to Adebolajo.
Sky’s Martin Brunt added: “We believe it is his father’s house that is being searched by Lincolnshire Police on behalf of counter-terrorism command at Scotland Yard.”
Counter-terrorism officers are leading the investigation into the “shocking and horrific” murder and the Prime Minister has held talks with his top advisers to address potential security implications.
Relatives of the dead soldier are believed to have been informed and his identity is expected to be released later today.
The Ministry of Defence said: “As a result of the incident in Woolwich, a number of additional security measures have been put in place. As you would expect, we would not talk about the details of these measures.”
Two suspected Muslim fanatics attacked the man in the street a short distance from the Royal Artillery Barracks after apparently knocking him down with their car.
Witnesses said they set about the soldier with a number of weapons, which appeared to include knives and a meat cleaver, while shouting the name of “Allah”.
Soldiers Arrested For Aiding Boko Haram

| Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika |
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, on Wednesday said some soldiers and officers of the Nigerian Army had been arrested for conspiring with insurgents in the ongoing face-off between the military and militants.
The COAS however did not give the number of soldiers that were arrested.
Ihejirika said that the affected troops were caught while posting comments he described as “negative” and conversing with terror suspects on the Internet.
He stated, “There are some soldiers that have been found to be posting negative comments on the Internet and some conversing with insurgents.
“I want to state that any officer or soldier caught linked one way or the other will be disciplined severely, there are no two ways about it.
“So the Directorate of Military Intelligence is encouraged to continue to monitor the activities along with military police and other commanders in the field because military service is service of patriotism as I said earlier.”
Nigerian troops are currently confronting militants in the three northern states of Yobe, Borno and Adamawa, where President Goodluck Jonathan last week declared a state of emergency in the efforts to rout members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
The Army chief spoke at the opening ceremony of the Nigerian Army transformation and Innovation Centre on Personnel Management and Development at the Command Officers Mess, Asokoro, Abuja.
The seminar was held under the leadership of the Chief of Army Transformation and Innovation, Maj. Gen Ibrahim Sani, with the title, “Building Capacity of the Nigerian Army to meet Contemporary Challenges.”
He warned that any officers found to be involved in such unacceptable conduct would be made to face the law.
Ihejirika urged the DMI, the investigative arm of the Armed Forces, and the Military Police to put commanders and soldiers in the field of operations under watch.
The Army chief explained that a soldier who gave out information on troops’ movement to the insurgents that attacked Mali -bound soldiers at Okene, Kogi State, had been arrested and would be made to face military court-martial.
Two soldiers, a warrant Officer and Corporal were killed in the Okene attack claimed by an Islamic sect.
He said, “Again let me warn; let me also use this opportunity to warn officers and soldiers who indulge in giving out information both from the Army headquarters and other formations; certain vital information that has in one way or the other worked negatively in our operations.
“As you are aware, a soldier gave out information on the movement of our troops to Mali, movement of troops bound for Mali.
“The troops were attacked at somewhere close to Okene; the guy has been apprehended and is going to be court-martialled.”
Ihejirika also advised commanders of the various Army formations in the country to exercise caution in dismissing soldiers who had been trained in handling arms.
He said that if offences committed by the affected soldiers were so grave as to prevent the soldiers from being in the unit, a bold step should be taken to jail and to keep away the offender as a result of the security situation.
He said that the Army would not jump into dismissing people as was the case in the past because of the prevailing security situation in the country.
“The situation we are facing today is such that you cannot afford to discard any of them as was the case many years back when we had the luxury to do that.
“It is also for the reason that I have advised commanders to mellow down in dismissing soldiers who are already trained and have acquired enough knowledge of use of arms.”
The Army chief, who said that the Nigerian Army had progressed beyond the era of the nation’s intervention in the crises in Liberia and Sierra Leone, announced the establishment of a special unit whose focus is to monitor the activities of troops during operations.
He said that the Army was collaborating with the United States AFRICOM, in the quest to have a standing special operations unit which could be transformed into a special brigade.
He also said that the Army had established a standing full-fledged Army Headquarters Reserve Battalion known as 101 battalion and the new battalion would be inaugurated soon.
Ihejirika, who put the strength of the Battalion being led by a Colonel at 100, said that soldiers of the new battalion had been equipped up to 50 per cent of the basic requirement.
He explained that even though the Army might appear to be overstretched, the existence of the new reserve battalion clearly indicated the readiness and preparedness of the Army to take on more challenges.
Ihejirika emphasised the place of capacity building as a vital tool of transformation in the Army.
He said, “This question is about capacity building and it will interest you to know that since the beginning of last year, we embarked on a programme of retraining young officers starting with those who had just passed out of the Defence Academy.
“They go to our counter-terrorist school and do the whole basic counter-terrorism course and acquire the confidence required to undertake counter insurgency operation. We have all the lieutenants now; this time around we will commence with the captains.”
Gov Ordered Police To Bring My Head – Ombatse Chief Priest
The Chief Priest of the Ombatse cult group in Lakyo, Nasarawa South Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Ala Agu, on Wednesday said that security men that invaded the community were ordered by the state governor, Alhaji Tanko Al-Makura, to kill him.
The 76-year-old Agu, popularly called Baba Lakyo, spoke with journalists on Wednesday at Lakyo during a visit of Senator Solomon Ewuga (Nasarawa North Senatorial District) to the community.
The chief priest, who spoke through an interpreter, said the security operatives did not come to arrest him, but to kill him “and cut off my head and take it to the governor.”
“It is the governor that asked the people (police officers) to come here and arrest me, cut my head and take my head to him.
“When they came, because they were themselves drunk, my god did not allow
them to come to me and they died on the way.
“The question I asked is, ‘has the governor ever invited me and I refused to go?’ If am invited, I will go. But he sent people to come and kill me and to destroy Lakyo as a whole. That is just what it is.”
Al-Makura had rushed to the Presidential Villa, Abuja on May 8, 2013 to brief Vice-President Nnamadi Sambo on the security situation in the state, saying that 20 policemen were killed in Lakyo by cultists.
The governor had said that members of Ombatse laid ambush and killed
security agents sent to arrest the members in their shrine.
On Wednesday, Baba Lakyo said that he had never been invited by security agencies, contrary to reports that the police invaded the village after he shunned their invitation.
The chief priest said that he was willing to honour any invitation either by the governor or the police.
Although Lakyo is peaceful, besides the sight of burnt vehicles used by the security men, Agu said he was unhappy with what happened and was apprehensive of what might befall him afterwards.
Ewuga toured Lakyo community, and led reporters to the home of Agu, which represents the “shrine” of the Ombatse.
Agu however denied ever forcing people to join the group through any initiation or drinking of concoction.
“I am grateful for your coming, Senator. I am very, very grateful for your coming. Even if the Senator did not come here, I had intended to go and see him in his house but since he is here, I am very grateful,” he told the senator.
Agu also said that he was in a nearby village when the incident took place only for him to come back to be informed that the governor sent people to come and kill him.
Asked whether the incident had anything to do with the politics of the state, he said, “If you are talking about politics, it does not bother me. I don’t even understand Hausa language. Politics is not for me because I am not a politician. Politics is for politicians but I hear that the time for politicking has not even come.
“If I ever opened my mouth to force anybody to take oath, God should punish me”.
He said that Ombatse was an association of Lakyo boys into which nobody was forced to belong.
He said he was ready to honour any police invitation but insisted that nobody had invited him.
According to him, it is even more saddening that he is being linked to the incident, especially when he knew nothing about what happened to the policemen.
But Al-Makura on Wednesday dismissed Agu’s claim that he was never invited for any meeting.
The governor, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Iliya Aliu, in a telephone interview, said it was on record that the head of the cult group did not honour several invitations extended to him.
He said, “It is not true that he was never invited. The Emir of Lafia who is the Chairman of the Nasarawa State Council of Chiefs invited him, he refused to honour it.
“Are Eggon, who is the chief of his area invited him, he refused; the Police, the SSS all invited him before this incident but he refused to honour any of them.
“His followers attacked and killed people in Asakiyo Alago; they went to Arga Migili, Kwadere and did the same.
“No responsible government will sit by and watch such things happen without taking action.
“It was after he refused to answer all of these invitations that the state security council met and decided that he should be arrested.
“Even their name, Ombatse, means it is our turn. Their turn for what?
“In any case, no matter the grievance, no individual or group has the right to kill innocent security officials.
“He and all those responsible must face the consequence of their action.”
The President of the Egon Cultural Development Association, Mr. Chris Mamman, said the only way to get to the root of what happened at Alakyo was for the Federal Government to set up a judicial commission of inquiry.
Ewuga said he decided to tour the affected area as a matter of national responsibility, saying he needed to see things for himself since he is also an Eggon man even though it was not within his senatorial district.
NGF: Forget Re-Election Bid, PDP Elders Tell Amaechi
Elders of the Peoples Democratic Party has asked the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, not to seek re-election as the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum.
Amaechi had maintained that he would seek re-election for the NGF chairmanship tentatively slated for Friday, not minding if he wins or loses.
But the PDP elders, who spoke on Wednesday under the aegis of the Rivers State PDP Elders’ Forum, pointed out that their findings had shown that the governor’s insistence on seeking a re-election as the NGF chairman, was aggravating the political crisis in the state.
In a copy of a letter signed by the convener of the forum, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba; the Secretary of the forum, Dr. Silva Opusunju; and three others and addressed to the governor, the group explained that Amaechi ‘‘frank and open disposition’’ appeared to have pitted him against other forces.
“Since Your Excellency’s emergence as the chairman (and spokesman) of the NGF, your open and frank disposition appears to have generated controversies that are considered inimical to your position as governor and interests of Rivers State in general.
“Your continued leadership of the NGF will not only aggravate the already volatile political atmosphere, but also escalate the threat to peace, security, good governance and development of the state,” the letter to the governor read.
According to them, Amaechi’s quest for re-election as NGF chairman is responsible for the overheated polity, adding that the issue has caused a serious collateral damage to the progress of the state.
The elders stated, “It (quest for re-election) is a highly unnecessary distraction that will decelerate your developmental strides and productivity as the governor of Rivers State.
“Given the above background and with all due respect, it is our most humble opinion that His Excellency should defer to the overall interest of the people of Rivers State and reconsider his decision to seek re-election to the office of chairman of the NGF.”
Meanwhile, ahead of Friday’s election of the NGF, the Northern Nigeria Governors’ Forum is to hold a crucial meeting in Abuja on Thursday (today).
Feelers from the forum on Wednesday in Abuja indicated that the governors would meet to take a common position on how to vote during the NGF election.
The northern governors are divided along the lines of those who wish to see Ameachi, who is the current NGF chairman retain his seat, and those rooting for Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State.
The source told one of our correspondents, “Nothing is being left to chance. Those who want Amaechi to retain his seat are reaching out to those who want Shema to replace him.
“For now it is too close to call as the Americans will say because people like the Chairman, Niger State governor, Babangida Aliyu, who is one of Ameachi campaigners, is telling his colleagues that retaining Amaechi is the only way governors can retain credibility.”
Police arrest killers of Kwara ex-CP
The Inspector General of Police, Muhammed Abubakar, on Wednesday said the suspected killers of former Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chinwike Asadu, had been arrested.
Asadu was murdered about three months ago at his Amorji-Nike residence in Enugu State.
Making the disclosure in an interactive session with journalists in Enugu during his working visit to the state, Abubakar said the arms used by the killers during the operation were also recovered by the police.
The IGP said following the confessional statements of the seven persons arrested, the police were on the trail of other collaborators in the murder.
He said, “We have arrested seven of those behind the killing of CP Chinwike Asadu. His killing was indeed a sad incident, and that is why when I visited the family after the incident, I made a promise that we shall stop at nothing to get those behind that dastardly act.
“I am glad to tell Nigerians that of those who took part in the killing, seven have been arrested and arraigned before a court.”
He gave the names of the suspects as Ogechukwu Uzoh, Ogechukwu Nnadi, Ugwuoke Obiora, Okwuosa Anthony, Chukwudi Enete, David Elvis Aja and Amobi Nnamchi.
“These are the seven persons charged for murder. Aside from the killing of the CP, they also confessed to killing other innocent souls and several acts of criminality,” the IGP added.
He, however, declined giving further details on the arrest as well as what could have informed the motive.
On the murder of several policemen by the Ombatse militia group in Nasarawa State, the IGP said the matter was still under serious investigation.
“What happened there is condemnable by any reasonable person. After investigation, we will be able to brief the press adequately,” he stated.
Earlier, the police boss, who inaugurated a medical clinic at the Enugu State Police headquarters, had commended the media for their partnership with the police.
He said several of such clinics were due to be inaugurated in the South-East as a mark of the importance the force attached to the welfare and wellbeing of its members.

Jonathan’s Resignation Call: Presidency Fires Back At Buhari
The Special Assistant on New Media to President Goodluck Jonathan has slammed former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, for calling on the president to resign for not being competent to handle the security challenges facing Nigeria.
The Presidency today, through the the Special Assistant on New Media, Reno Omokri, said: “Its surprising that anybody, let alone an elder statesman, will call on Mr President to resign when the State of Emergency is yielding fruit.”
“Rather than calling on Mr. President to resign it is expected of Elder Statesmen to cooperate with the government over the State of Emergency.”
“If you have something against the Emergency, be bold enough to speak your mind as an elder statesman instead of asking Mr President to resign.”
“What type of elder statesman condemns the President when terrorists attack and condemns him when he takes appropriate action? Choose a side!”
“Your senators and Reps disagreed with you and voted against your directives. You can not control your people and you want Mr President to resign?”
Insecurity: Resign And Hand Over To A Competent Person – Buhari Tells Jonathan
Former Head of State and leader of the opposition Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office over his failure to tackle the security challenges facing the country.
Speaking to newsmen at his residence in Daura town, Katsina state yesterday, General Buhari said, “Jonathan should vacate and give way to competent hand to govern the country.”
General Buhari said the issue of security is a fundamental duty of any responsible government and added that Jonathan, since he assumed power, has failed in that regard.
“When the Niger Delta militants started their activities in the South-South, they were invited by the late President Umaru Yar’adua.
“An aircraft was sent to them and their leaders met with the late President in Aso Rock and discussed issues. They were given money and a training scheme was introduced for their members. But when the Boko Haram emerged in the north members of the sect were killed,” General Buhari lamented.
“And when the police failed to address the insurgency, soldiers were invited and they captured the Boko Haram leader, Muhammad Yusuf alive and handed him over to police. But Yusuf was eventually killed, his in-law too was killed and their houses were demolished”, he said.
Buhari explained that the country is in its present situation due to the murder of the Boko Haram leader by security agents which angered his followers and suggested that a new approach to tackling the insurgency without affecting the lives and properties of innocent people should be adopted.
“In Bama and Baga towns, military personnel were reported to have been engaged in extortion and sometimes defiling of women. And because a soldier was killed in Baga the whole town was sacked by military. This is not the best way military should have acted when they were sent to restore law and order in a town. How can a responsible government allow its people to be killed in this way,” he asked.
He warned that the police, SSS, army, navy and Air force should know how to conduct themselves and act professionally.
“The soldiers are not expected to go and sack a town because one of them is killed. They are expected to capture the culprits for prosecution. After all the soldiers are not meant to tackle internal crisis but when it is necessary they should act professionally.
“Whoever is sent to protect people should also protect their integrity. When the former England’s Prime Minister, Margret Thatcher decided to hold its political meeting in Brighton the security advised her to cancel the meeting because of the IRN rebellions, but she insisted and held the meeting. The hotel she was accommodated was bombed and some of her political associates were killed but soldiers did not condone the area and kill everybody there, rather they conducted themselves professionally,” Buhari said.
While condemning the imposition of state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, Buhari said it was not the best way to address the problem.
“Government cannot kill all the Boko Haram members. Government should rather arrest and prosecute the Boko Haram members. They should only be killed when they said clearly they wage war against their country like what happened during the civil war. And even during civil war we that fought in the war were given a copy of code of conduct book which guided us against killing innocent people”, he said.
Reacting to the call, Special Assistant on New Media to President Jonathan, Reno Omokri, said: “Its surprising that anybody, let alone an elder statesman, will call on Mr President to resign when the State of Emergency is yielding fruit.”
“Rather than calling on Mr. President to resign it is expected of Elder Statesmen to cooperate with the govt over the State of Emergency.”
Rejected Lover Pours Acid On Girlfriend In Benin
If anyone had told Blessing Ikhumhi that Okosun Cyril, the man she once loved, man she once saw as “the best thing that could ever happen to her would turn around and bath her with acid, she would not have believed it.
Their romance turned sour with a tragic consequence for Blessing, a 23-year-old student of Edo State School of Health Technology. And doctors believe she may never see again except she is flown to a specialist hospital in India, where her sight could be restored.
Blessing’s very sad ordeal began when she told his boyfriend, who is now in police custody in Benin, that she was no longer interested in what she described as “uninspiring relationship.”
The news did not go down well with him. He visited her house and asked for a talk.
The victim had gone outside to meet with the man whom she thought might have come to settle with her and probably, persuade her to continue in the relationship, but to Blessing’s shock, she was bathed with acid.
From that fateful day, she has seized to see and has been on admission at the UBTH.
“He was my boyfriend and we had arguments in February. He beat me to the extent that I was not able to go to school for three days. I told him I was no longer interested in the relationship. He later tried to forcibly take my telephone, but I refused to give it to him. I told him he was not the one who bought it for me.”
“On March 23, he called and asked me to meet him in front of our house. I refused initially, but he insisted, so I came out. He asked: “Do you mean you don’t want me again?” I said: “No! I was no more interested in the relationship. And immediately, he poured the acid on my face. Since that day, I have been on admission at the UBTH and the doctors say I might not see again except I am flown to India where my eyes could be restored. “
She noted that Cyril was the last person she expected to treat her so badly.
“I never knew he would have the heart to pour acid on me. I made a mistake. I have learnt the biggest lesson of my life. My prayer now is that God should touch kind-hearted Nigerians to come to my aide so that I would be able to get treatment abroad, since my parents cannot afford it.” Ikhumhi, a native of Fugar, Etsako Local Council of Edo State, has pleaded with public-spirited Nigerians to come to her aid.
Domestic violence has been on the increase nowadays as aggrieved lovers have been pouring acid on their estranged partners.
In March 2010, Oluwatoyin Safiu Morufu, from Oyo State, was reportedly bathed with acid by his wife of over 16 years, Uloma Beatrice, from Abia State.
In 2011, a suspect, Samson Igbinomewahin, 47, was arraigned at an Ebute Metta Chief Magistrate‘s Court, Lagos, for allegedly pouring acid on his wife, Mrs. Susan Jeremiah, 31.
Also, a 35-year-old man, Ndubisi Okoro in 2011 allegedly bathed his wife, Anthonia, with acid. He was arraigned before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court in Lagos, charged with attempted murder.
In November 10, 2012, a jilted man in Ikotun, an outskirt of Lagos, bathed his wife with acid. Men of Ikotun Police Division immediately arrested him.
