Ten people were burnt beyond recognition while six others sustained serious injuries when a petrol tanker went up in flames in Felele area of Lokoja on Friday.

The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, in Kogi State, Segun Martins, who confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Lokoja, said most of the victims were passengers travelling in an 18-seater commercial bus.


Also affected were one commercial tricycle operator, the driver and motor boy of the fuel tanker. He said the death toll might rise as some of those who sustained injuries were in critical situation.

Mr. Martins said the dead and injured victims were moved to various hospitals in Lokoja.

Witnesses told NAN that the accident was due to a head-on collision between the bus, coming from Abuja and the tanker coming from the opposite direction. They said the impact of the collision ignited the fire which spread to other vehicles while the entire area was covered by smoke for many hours.

Men of the state Fire Service Department, who arrived the scene at about 2:20 pm, could not really help due to lack of water in their vehicles.

The accident led to disruption in vehicular movement on the ever-busy Okene -Lokoja -Abuja Road but FRSC officials, police and sympathisers were seen trying to open the road.

Real Madrid Star Gareth Bale’s Agent Says Talk Of Move To Manchester United Is ‘Stupid’

Gareth Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, has rubbished talk of a potential move away from Real Madrid this summer.

Reports have suggested that Bale could be sold to Manchester United this summer, with the European champions chasing Monaco youngster, Kylian Mbappe.

However, Barnett insists that there is no truth in the speculation.


“It’s a ridiculous, stupid story,” he told BBC Sport.

Bale has been coveted by United for years, with the club first trying to sign the Welsh winger in 2007 before he joined Spurs. The Red Devils also failed with a £103million bid to hijack his move to Madrid four years ago.

The Welsh winger signed a new contract in October 2016, which ties him to the Santiago Bernabeu side until 2022.

Wow! 62-Year-Old Mother Of 5 Weds 75-Year Old Man In Delta State (Photo)

It was a great re-union for a 62-year old woman who recently got married to her 75-year old lover as her children gave her out to the man for marriage.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the woman simply known as Geraldine from Isoko got married to Mr. Joshua from Urhobo in Delta State after their children consented to the marriage.

The marriage reception took place at Agbara where the woman lived with one of her children, while she moved to her new husband’s place after the marriage at Omiyale in Ejigbo, Lagos.


It was gathered that Geraldine separated from her husband after they had five grown up children while Mr Joshua lost his wife seven years ago. It was learnt that they were lovers in their youth days and Jehovah Witness teachers before they separately married.

The marriage between Geraldine and Joshua started after the former love birds met at Agbara, expressed their emotions and resolved to convince their children to consent to their marriage.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that after their discussion, Geraldine first called her children and told them that she was lonely and needed a man that will take care of her emotional needs since she has separated from her husband.

She also reportedly told them that she had a lover before she married their father and the lover lost his wife some years ago and was also lonely. She said since both of them were lonely, it was better for her to marry the man so that they will take care of each other.

It was gathered that the children were initially against the decision but when their mother threatened to kill herself if they did not support her, they soft pedalled. Thereafter they consented and gave her to Joshua as wife.

On the side of the man, it was the same thing because the children saw it as adding extra burden to the family but had no choice than to consent to make the man happy again.

When P.M.EXPRESS visited the new couple and asked to know how they were coping with the marriage, they said it was easy for them to settle down because they have known each other over the years.

On their sex life, the man said they were slowly active and declined to make further comments.

Liverpool playmaker, Philippe Coutinho, is reportedly ready to take a pay cut in order to force a move to Barcelona.

Coutinho signed a new five-year deal at Anfield earlier this year, which sees him earning around £8million a year.

Girls Run Mad, Become Useless After We Use Them for 'Yahoo Plus' - Internet Fraudster Confesses

Internet fraudsters caught in Nigeria (File photo) 

A 26-year-old man identified as Hakeem aka H Funds has confessed on the modus operandi on how he made money through yahoo-plus.

Narrating the story to NewsTelegraph, Hakeem revealed that he used juju on his victims which makes it easier for him to control them.

“After spending lavishly, we sometimes go bankrupt. So, we have no choice than to use metaphysical powers to hypnotise our victims online. The act of using voodoo is what people nicknamed ‘Yahoo Plus.’


“I use it so that the victim, otherwise known as a ‘client’ will fall deeply in love with me and obey my every command. At least, I have been into dating scam for a while now and I can boast of two cars and a house.” Hakeem confessed.

According to NewTelegraph, Hakeem revealed that he dropped out of university when he was in 100 Level. After dropping out of school, he embraced cyber fraud. Interestingly, he has been able to buy cars and build house through the scam.

Hakeem is toeing the path of many Nigerian young men and women who are embracing cybercrime. Many of them have left the traditional method of attempting to sweet talk victims into parting with money. Today, they now use voodoo, otherwise known as ‘Yahoo Plus or Science’ to collect money from unsuspecting victims.

Revealing more details, some other internet fraudsters revealed the cost of a particular voodoo depends on how challenging a certain internet fraud might prove to be. They also confessed that aside from the fact that Yahoo Plus makes them richer, it also is a stress-free way of making money.

They revealed that native doctors, Islamic and Christian clerics usually prepare the charms for them. Hakeem insisted that Yahoo Plus was the best gimmick to apply in online dating scam.

He added: “I use voodoo for dating scam. I use it to spellbind my online victim and make him or her easier to control. There are different kinds of voodoos; one is to use the image of the white client, another one is to make incisions on our hands, place our legs on a tortoise or take the client’s name to a cleric or native doctor. Sometimes, we take our phones and computer to the shrine.

The type of Yahoo Plus I do is to take client’s name to the shrine.”

Another operator, Lanre, 25, said that he and his younger brother wouldn’t have succeeded in internet fraud, if not for the help of his mother. He disclosed that it was their mother who introduced them to the new level of cyber fraud.

Lanre said his mother didn’t believe in them at first until he carried out a scam and bought a car from the proceeds. The car got his mother so tickled that she decided to take them to a herbalist for charms.

He said: “Although my father is late, we have been successful in this cyber fraud business because my mother supports my brother and I.

My mother took my younger brother and I to a woman’s place. The woman took us to a river and bathed us. Asides that, I do other sorts of rituals like ‘Oshole.’ Once you have done Oshole, you will succeed in every kind of internet scams. I must confess that I have achieved a lot by God’s grace. I haven’t seen any repercussion because I do go back to the herbalist’s place to renew my voodoo.”

Another internet fraudster, who gave his name simply as T Money, said that he had been using black magic for his cybercrime for long.

T Money, a 200 Level dropout, disclosed that after he abandoned his university programme, he had tried his hands on several menial jobs, but failed to succeed in any. He finally went into cyber fraud.

The 27-year-old T Money explained why he abandoned the traditional Yahoo Yahoo to delve into the occult world of Yahoo Plus.

He said: “When I started the internet fraud, I couldn’t earn much. I only earned enough to buy clothes, some pair of shoes and an IPhone.”

According to him, while his friends were hitting big money and living lavish lifestyles, he was counting pennies.

He said: “I became intrigued on how my friends were making good money. I asked questions and got answers. It was the answers that led me into Yahoo Plus. It is what most of my friends do. I went to meet an Islamic cleric.

“I was into dating scam when I first started. The dating scam was not really fetching huge amount of money. I began using Yahoo Plus because my friends were making it big and buying cars. Once they make big money, they will go and lodge in hotels. I desperately wanted to belong. I wanted to know what it feels like to be rich.

I had no choice than to meet the cleric whom I paid money for the ritual. Look at me today, I’m doing fine.”

A cyber fraudster, who introduced himself as Sir Cash, 28, said there were different categories of Yahoo Plus – ‘Oshole’ and ‘Irapada.’

According to him, the two are used to enhance internet scam operations.

He added: “There is another Yahoo Plus. It is very bad and dangerous. It entails using the ‘glory’ of innocent girls. You rub something like oil into the private part of a girl before having sexual intercourse with her. She either becomes sick or will never amount to much in life. We also use prostitutes. Most of these rituals have repercussions. One must be very careful.

“Most of us do a voodoo called ‘Oshole.’ Oshole has little or no repercussion and most of us use it. The way Oshole works is that it compels the victim to pay money.”

According to Sir Cash, there are various repercussions to the use of voodoos on girls. One of the repercussions is insanity.

He said: “There are some of our guys, who after using the voodoo get richer, but also forget to return to the shrines or clerics to renew their voodoo. That’s when problems start.”

Army Alerts Nigerians of New Trick Fraudsters Now Use to Deceive Job Seekers

Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai 

The Depot Nigerian Army on Friday alerted Nigerians of the activities of fraudsters claiming to be recruiting candidates on its behalf.

A statement issued on Friday by Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, Depot NA/Nigerian Military School, Capt. Hussaini Sani warned aspiring recruits against falling prey to the fraudsters.

“It has been brought to the notice of Headquarters of Depot Nigerian Army that criminal minded individuals are parading themselves as relatives to the Depot Commandant, Brig-Gen. Victor Ezugwu.


“The fraudsters do that to defraud innocent citizens who were not successful during the just concluded 76 Regular Recruits Intake exercise. “Others also claimed to be principal staff officers of Depot NA thereby convincing their victims to pay huge amount of money to be recruited into the Nigerian Army,” he stated.

Sani explained that the Depot have no hand in conducting recruitment exercise, but only train those already selected. He further stated that recruitment for 76 Regular Recruits Intake had since been officially closed.

“Consequently, potential recruits are advised to try the next recruitment intake and not to allow these criminal minded and unpatriotic individuals to defraud them under any guise.

“Such arrangement does not exist and recruitment into the Nigerian Army is free and no candidate is expected to pay money to any individual whatsoever,” it added.

Investigation by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) shows that activities of the fraudsters in Zaria had been on for years where they collect between N150,000 and N300,000 per candidate.

Army Return Corpses of UNIMAID Workers Killed by Boko Haram in Borno State (Photos)

Some of the UNIMAID geologists brought to Maiduguri dead, some still missing 

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Maiduguri( UNIMAID) chapter, said five staff of the university were killed by Boko Haram insurgents, after they were purportedly kidnapped.

Dr Danny Mamman, the Chairman of the association told newsmen in Maiduguri that four lecturers were still missing. The insurgents on Tuesday attacked a team of geologists who were on an oil exploration exercise in Lake Chad basin.


The team comprised staff of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), geologists, members of Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and military personnel.

However, the Nigerian Army, in a statement on Wednesday, said it had rescued all the victims. Brig Gen Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Director, Army Public Relations, said that nine soldiers and one civilian were killed in the attack.

He added that the soldiers had recovered all the corpses in the rescue operation.

However, a morose Mamman said that five staff of the institution were killed in the attack. He explained that the deceased comprise two geologists, two technologists and a driver.

“We were first elated when we heard that the military rescued the victims. But, to our dismay we discovered that they were all killed. “Our initial hope to see them alive was dashed. The soldiers brought only dead bodies. “Four other staff are still missing and we are seriously concerned about their safety, we do not know their whereabouts,” he said.

The Chairman gave the names of two of the victims as Ibrahim Yusuf and Aji Kolo. Authorities at the university are yet to issue statement on the incident.

Meanwhile, Governor Kashim Shettima has condemned Tuesday’s attack on the geologists and exploration workers from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC) and the University of Maiduguri.

Shettima made the condemnation in a statement issued on Thursday in Maiduguri by his Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Malam Isa Gusau.

He said that since he first got information concerning the attack on his way to visit President Muhammadu Buhari in London, he hasn’t been his normal self and is yet to recover from the shock of the attack.

“I haven’t been myself normal self since I received information of that attack. What happened in the first instance was a tragic setback in the fight against Boko Haram and in Nigeria’s effort to expand its economic fortunes. “I am deeply pained by this incident especially coming at a time when we were beginning to pick up the pieces of our lives,’ Shettima said.

He added, “Even though the attack should never have happened given the successes recorded by the military and multi-national joint forces since 2015, I nonetheless still deem it necessary to commend the military for re-mobilising and countering the initial gains of the insurgents.

“On behalf of government and people of Borno State, I mourn and salute the soldiers and our sons in the civilian JTF who paid the supreme price by giving their lives in this fight.”

How Osinbajo Pulled Wike & Amaechi Together as He Commissioned the World's Biggest Fertiliser Plant (Photos)

Wike, Osinbajo & Amaechi in Rivers during commissioning of fertilizer plant 

ogbudu.com had earlier reported earlier, that the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, was on his way to Port Harcourt, to inaugurate the world’s biggest fertiliser plant built by Indorama Eleme Fertiliser and Chemicals Limited in Eleme LGA of the state.

It was gathered that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, were seen together in public yesterday, with acting President who had visited the state to commission the world class fertilizer plant.


It was about a year ago since Wike and the Minister of Transportation, Amaechi were last seen together. While speaking at the event, the acting president noted that the plant will produce 1.5 million metric tonnes of Urea per annum, adding that the development was a reflection of the success of the Federal Government’s privatisation programme.

Vanguard reported that the acting President also handed a certificate to the management of the fertilizer plant, formally discharging it from the mandatory five year monitoring programme of the Bureau of Public Enterprise, BPE.

He said that the Federal Government will continue to support the growth of the fertilizer plant, noting that it had also taken steps to encourage the needed atmosphere for the growth of private businesses.

“The plant commissioned today (yesterday), I am told, is one of the largest in the world, designed to produce 1.5 million metric tonnes of Urea fertilizer per annum for domestic and foreign markets. I have been informed that Indorama will this year alone supply about 360,000 MT of Urea to Fertilizer blenders, who will in turn produce NPK fertilizer for the benefit of farmers across the country,” he said.

He further charged management of the fertilizer plant not to compromise on best practices even though it had been discharged from the mandatory monitoring programme of BPE.

Chairman of the fertilizer firm, Mr Sri Prakash Lolua, said: “I am pleased to report that with the start-up of this plant, Nigeria is now more than self-sufficient in urea and has now become a net exporter of urea to the world. This enables Nigeria to save valuable foreign exchange on urea imports and receive foreign exchange from urea exports.”

Governor Nyesom Wike, in his remarks, assured that his administration will continue to support the fertilizer plant, assuring that the state was conducive for investment.
