A fire outbreak has killed Triplets and their brother in Hadejia town, Jigawa, according to the Spokesman of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in the state, Mr Adamu Shehu.

He gave the names of the triplets as Hassan Sale, Hussain Sale and Muhusin Sale, and their elder brother, Aliyu Sale, all of the same family.
He said the incident occurred on Jan. 20 at about 10:45 p.m.
The Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation Americas ( NIDOA ) has urged the Federal Government to check the activities of armed herdsmen in Nigeria, saying they pose security threat to the country.
NIDOA, in a statement by Mrs Patience Key, Chairperson of NIDO USA and Dr George Nwogu, Public Relations Director, NIDO Americas Board of Trustees, condemned what they termed the needless and mindless killings of innocent Nigerians by armed herdsmen.
“It is appalling that in spite of the country’s strict gun control laws, persons purported to be herdsmen carry and use military-style assault weapons openly with impunity.
“These highly armed herdsmen pose terrorist threats to all law-abiding unarmed Nigerians and they must not be allowed to carry on unchecked.
“Armed herdsmen’s terrorism against Nigerians should be condemned by all decent and peace-loving people.
“The continued bloodletting must be stopped immediately. The government should disarm all armed herdsmen as they have no right to carry sophisticated weapons in the guise of shepherding cattle.
“We strongly condemn these barbaric acts of violence by these reckless armed herdsmen and urge the perpetrators of these heinous acts to be brought to book and face justice.
“The continued audacious actions of the herdsmen without regard for human lives and the laws of our land represent a clear and present danger as well as threat to the peace and unity of the country,” it said.
NIDOA asked the government not to waver but deploy all instruments of state security forces not only to punish the perpetrators but to prevent future wanton killings of innocent Nigerians.
It called for efforts to regulate the open cattle grazing method in the country to modern standards that utilise ranches as done in other countries and ensure respect for the dignity of human lives and property.
The group offered its condolences to the people of Benue, Taraba and Nassarawa state as well as all other Nigerians who had lost loved ones to what it termed “wanton criminal acts”.
My name is Mr. John (surname withheld). I am a 59 year old retired Teacher. And this is the embarrassing story of my life.
One day, more than 12 years ago – October 2005, to be precise – I just broke down and started to cry like a baby.
I was devastated. I felt like a failure. I felt like I was going to lose my mind.
It happened that one hot afternoon, I came back home from work to meet something very heart-breaking – my wife had packed all her bags and belongings…. And she had left!
But… I couldn’t even blame her… because…
It was all my fault!
You see, for as long as I could remember, I suffered from a serious case of weak erection and premature ejaculation.
I’m not joking at all, it was very serious. I couldn’t last more than a few seconds in bed.
It was so bad that sometimes, I would even ejaculate during foreplay, before action starts.
No matter what I tried, 2 minutes was the longest I could go.
We tried everything to find a solution to this problem…
I used pills. I tried numbing creams. I tried different drugs. For a while I even used some dangerous herbal mixtures. I tried almost everything!
But, instead of getting better…
Things got worse.
Then, the final straw that broke the Camel’s back was when I lost my manhood.
My penis suddenly became limp and would not rise again.
Even if you placed the most beautiful woman in the world – naked in all her sexual glory – right before me, my penis would just remain soft like overcooked noodles.
My Manhood Died!
It was the most frustrating moment of my life.
My wife was even more frustrated.
I knew she had become fed up. That was why I couldn’t blame her when she left.
So for the next 8 years, I lived as a frustrated and lonely, old bachelor.
But wait…
Don’t get me wrong.
I’m not telling you all this because I want you to feel sorry for me. No!
There is no need for that anyway.
My story has a happy ending… because…
6 months ago, I made a discovery that changed my entire life.
I found an amazing way to cure my years of premature ejaculation and impotence – that I never dreamed existed.
To tell the truth, I had completely lost hope of ever getting a solution.
But I stumbled across this solution totally by accident when I was looking for something else.
Now, let me tell you why I think this is…

That is all you have to do, you get your man-hood to the size you have always dreamt of, and last longer than you ever imagined.
A 45-year old carpenter, Olumide Akinleye, who allegedly cohabited with and accused of raping his own daughter, is to remain behind bars pending judgment, an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court ordered in Ibadan on Friday.
Chief Magistrate Modina Akanni, who gave the ruling, said Akinleye should be kept in police custody until when hearing would begin.
The lustful father had admitted committing the offence.
Akinleye, who lives in Odo-Ona Elewe in Ibadan, is facing a charge of having unlawful carnal knowledge of his biological daughter.
Earlier, Police Prosecutor Sunday Fatola told the court that Akinleye had a carnal knowledge of his 18-year-old daughter in their apartment.
“Akinleye, who is cohabiting with his daughter in his one-room apartment, raped her several times between September and December 2017.”
He said the girl had confessed during investigation that she confided in her father’s friend about the several sex bouts against her will.
The offence contravened Section 214 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Oyo State 2000.
The case has been adjourned until Jan. 25 for facts and sentence.
The Ebonyi Government says it has commenced the sanitisation of its ministries to correct detected administrative flaws in the system.
Dr Kelechi Igwe, the Deputy Governor, said this on Friday in Abakaliki while reacting to the dilapidated state of the multi-billion Naira international market built by the past administration in the state.
Igwe led a delegation of government officials, opinion leaders and market associations, among others, to inspect the facility constructed in a swamp.
“We have commenced the correction of ills in the ministries as it is saddening to have Ministries of Works, Housing and Survey involved in such a ruse.
“These ministries have qualified engineers and surveyors to advise the past government as the project’s erection in such area is one of the worst things to happen to the state.
“It is pertinent to note that if the officials failed to advise government, it was laxity on their part.
“But if they did, it means the government was not responsible to listen to advice,” he said.
He said that the tour of the edifice was to assuage the people’s anxiety over the delay in completing the project by the present administration.
“The governor as a professional engineer will not embark on a project that will not add economic values to the state.
“We have tried severally to relocate traders to the market but they have consistently told us that it was not habitable and conducive for business activities.
“During the rainy season, flood will submerge goods and other property belonging to traders and even drown children around the area.
“We want to assure the people that the era of government embarking on phantom projects was over; Government will never embark on projects without economic significance,” he said.
Rev.Fr. Abraham Nwali, the Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria ( CAN ) in the state, advised the state government not to abandon the project in the spirit of continuity.
“The contractors handling the project should be re-instated if they are willing to complete it but should be made to refund the monies collected, if they are unwilling to continue.
Mr Ugochukwu Akpa, Chairman, Association of Town Unions in the state, said the unions would besiege the homes of the contractors, to let them refund the money they collected from government.
“We will stay by their doors and cry loudly for them to refund the money because it belongs to the entire state and should be utilised judiciously,” he said.
Mr Eze Ogbonna, Chairman, Abakaliki Main Market Amalgamated Traders Association, said that traders would never relocate to the market until it became habitable and conducive for business.
Gov. Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa State said on Friday that arrangements have been concluded for the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the state on Feb. 6.
Al-Makura disclosed this in Lafia while receiving reports of fact finding and investigative committee set up to look into the activities of tertiary institutions in the state from 2014 to 2017.
‘‘I am happy to announce that Mr President has graciously accepted to visit Nasarawa State on February 6,” he said.
He said that during the visit, President Buhari would inaugurate various projects initiated and completed by the current administration for the benefit of the people.
The governor urged the people of the various communities where the president would visit to cooperate with the committee constituted by the state government to ensure a successful outing.
One of the projects slated to be inaugurated by the President is the Comprehensive Special School, Lafia.
The school was built to cater for the educational needs of the physically challenged children.
Big Brother Naija 2017 winner Michel Ejeba aka Efe and top rapper Olamide aka Baddo, have shot the music video for the collaboration titled, `Warri,’ which was dropped late last year.
The video shot by Avalon Okpe, featured King Baddo and Efe, who both have ties to the hood hit the streets.
The Police on Friday arraigned one Aishatu Bello, 37, in a Wuse Zone 2 Magistrates’ Court, Abuja, for allegedly impersonating as the wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari.
The defendant who resides at Durumi village, Abuja, was arrested on Jan.10 after allegedly committing the offence.
The Prosecuting Counsel, Mr Adama Musa, told the court that the alleged offence was contrary to Section 179 of the Penal Code.
Musa said that Goni Bakaryu of Fadama House, No.1 Eldoret Close, Wuse 11, Abuja, reported the matter at the Maitama Police Station.
Musa told the court that Bakaryu had informed the police that the National Project Coordinator of Fadama 111, Mr Tayo Adewumi was meant to be the defendant’ victim.
He said the complainant informed the police that Adewumi had received a text message from the defendant, who claimed to be the wife of the president.
Musa also told the court that the defendant had used the text to demand for contract from the National Project Coordinator of Fadama 111.
He said during investigation, it was discovered that the wife of Mr President did not send the defendant to the Fadama 111 coordinator to secure any contracts.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The defendant’s counsel, Mr Olatunji Salawu, had filed an oral application for bail.
“In view of the plea of the defendant of not guilty, and the application of the prosecution counsel for an adjournment, we apply that the defendant be admitted to bail,“he said.
The Magistrate, Mrs Yetunde Iwot, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N800, 000, with two sureties and adjourned the case until Feb. 15, for mention.
The Akwa Ibom Government says it has sacked Dr. Nwaopara A.U, a Consultant and Medical Superintendent, Psychiatric Hospital, Eket, for allegedly stealing six hospital beds and converting them to personal use.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Dominic Ukpong, made the disclosure while addressing the management and staff of the hospital in Eket on Friday.
He alleged that the doctor stole the beds in October last year and converted them to use in his private hospital in Marina area of Eket.
But Dr Nwaopara told our reporter that the matter was in court.
“We have terminated the appointment of the doctor who stole the beds in the psychiatric hospital and converted them to personal use.
“We will not condone such attitude from any doctor. I want to thank the management of the hospital for their cooperation during the investigations,” Ukpong said.
The commissioner, however, observed that the psychiatric hospital was one of the most neglected in the state.
He said that the hospital lacked facilities and lamented that its management failed to notify the health authorities in Akwa Ibom.
He said the hospital faced challenges, including inadequate space, lack of equipment, shortage of staff, zero subvention, and promised to tackle the challenges.
Ukpong however thanked the hospital management for its services to the state despite the challenges.
He reassured the management that the state government would equip the hospital very soon.
