Gun men Kill 15, Burn Bodies In Zamfara
Gunmen have killed 15 village traders returning
from a market at night and set their bodies ablaze
in northern Nigeria's Zamfara state, a local police
chief said on Friday.
"Gunmen, suspected to be armed robbers,
attacked some local traders on their way back from
a market in neighbouring Katsina state late
Thursday," Zamfara state police commissioner
Tambrai Yabo told AFP.
"The armed robbers waylaid the traders travelling
back in an open truck and opened fire on them.
They then loaded the truck with 14 bodies and
burnt them," said Yabo, adding that a 15th victim
had died in hospital.
Villagers said around 100 robbers came out of the
bush and forced the truck to stop. The attack
occurred near a village that is close to the town of
Birnin Magaji in Zamfara state, which borders Niger.
Armed robberies have been on the rise in Zamfara
in recent months.
In October, marauding bandits combed a village in
Lingyado and killed 19 people in response to an
attack on a gang of robbers by local vigilantes,
residents said.
In December, four policemen and two children from
one family were killed by armed men in Dansadau
village.
Zamfara is around 350 kilometres west of Kano city,
where Islamist sect Boko Haram killed 185 people in
a wave of gun and bomb attacks a week ago.

Boko Haram threatens to attack NLC over subsidy•Asks leadership to resign •We are analysing thegenuineness of the letter —NLC •Police stationbombed outside Kano •158 Boko Haram suspectsarrested •Police engage man in 4-hr shootout in Kano
THE Islamic sect, Boko Haram has threatened the
leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over
its perceived role in the fuel subsidy removal issue,
blaming it for only forcing the Federal Government to
reduce the price of petrol to N97 per litre rather
than a total reversal to N65 as earlier demanded by
labour.
A letter purportedly written by the sect was sent to
the NLC through e-mail, on Tuesday, threatening the
labour leaders to resign. It also threatened to attack
the Labour House.
Though the letter was not made available to the media
as of press time on Tuesday, a source at the Labour
House confirmed to our correspondent that a mail was
sent to the NLC by a group by that name.
But the source stated that the leadership of the
congress was trying to be sure if the letter really came
from the real Boko Haram group or not.
He, however, confirmed that the security operatives
had been handed the letter to analyse it and establish
its genuineness.
The source also said that the leadership of the
congress did not want to make the issue a media one at
present until it was fully analysed and confirmed that
the sect was responsible for it.
“It is true that we received a mail from a group, which
called itself by that name, but the letter is with the
security. We are trying to analyse if it is genuine or not.
We did not want to make it a media issue until we
analyse it,” the source said last night.
Meanwhile, one Uzairu Abba Abdullahi, 32 years-old, a
Mass Communications degree holder who allegedly
engaged a security officer in a shootout was in the
early hours of Tuesday along his wife killed in Hotoro
quarters of Kano city.
According to investigation gathered by the Nigerian
Tribune, while the security operatives reached his
house, the late Uzairu allegedly opened fire in a panic
move aimed at scaring the security personnel.
Sensing danger, the operatives returned fire which
lasted several minutes and, as a result of cross fire
that lasted for hours, Uzairu (32) and his wife lost
their lives.
Speaking with reporters, a cousin of the deceased,
Alhaji Ali Abdu-llahi, told journalists that it was true
that his brother and his wife were killed at their Hotoro
residence.
Alhaji Ali said the late Uzairu had been a businessman
since he left Bayero University, Kano, in 2002 with a
degree in Mass Communications, adding that all efforts
to recover his corpse and that of his wife for burial
from all hospitals visited were unsuccessful.
However, at the time of filing this report, it was not
clear reason for exchange of gun fire between him and
the security operatives.
Efforts to get the comment of the police on the issue
were unsuccessful, though a source, who preferred
anonymity, informed newsmen that the security
agencies were allegedly working on information that the
deceased was a suspect.
However, Kano State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim
Idris, told journalists on Tuesday afternoon that a
“sister agency” carried out the attack on the house.
In another development, the police, on Tuesday,
showed journalists the explosives used by the Boko
Haram sect during its attack in Kano on Friday and
acknowledged some gunmen wore uniforms resembling
para-military police and soldiers.
The police said they found 10 unexploded car bombs
and hundreds of small improvised explosive devices
after the attack on Friday.
Meanwhile, security forces arrested 158 suspected
members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, in an early
morning raids in Kano on Tuesday.
Also, a police station on the outskirts of Kano, Feika
Police Station, was reportedly bombed.
Though nobody died in the incident, it was reported
that a car and two motorcycles were destroyed.
I'm pregnant with my dad's baby and we are so in love
The pair were pictured smiling and hugging each other
under the headline "I'm pregnant with my dad's baby and
we are so in love."
If that isn't splash material in a popular newspaper I really
don't know what is.
It was rightly billed as a world exclusive on the front page
of the paper's Irish edition, headlined "I'm having Daddy's
baby."
But why was it not given the same treatment in the British
edition?
For the record, it tells how a Dublin man, Garry Ryan, was
18 when his girlfriend fell pregnant. Her family wouldn't let
them marry, so he went off to the States and never saw
the daughter.
The girl, Penny Lawrence, grew up and after her mother's
death she set out to find her missing father.
When they eventually met, reports The Sun's Dulcie
Pearce, they "both felt an immediate sexual attraction."
She continues: "Within days they began an incestuous -
and illegal - affair, though they each claim to be suffering
from the psychological condition Genetic Sexual
Attraction or GSA."
Penny is 28 and Garry is 46, and they live as a couple. She
is quoted as saying: "I'm in love with Garry and desperately
want his baby. But we have agreed that if my three-
month scan shows a birth defect, we will terminate the
pregnancy."
Well, in my day, that would have made it on to the front
page. It's a classic example of a story that is bound to get
everyone talking.
