Black Man Fatally Shot by Police Pulled Vape Device From Pocket, Not Weapon: Officials

Image
  The object that a black man pulled from his pant pocket before being fatally shot by police in Southern California Tuesday afternoon was not a deadly weapon -- but a vape smoking device, the El Cajon Police Department said Wednesday evening. The Medical Examiner's Office also identified the man as Alfred Okwera Olango, 38, of El Cajon. Protests erupted in El Cajon -- located about 16 miles northeast of San Diego -- following the shooting, and continued into Wednesday evening.     Police initially said Tuesday that it received a 911 call from the man's sister, saying her brother was "not acting like himself." According to the caller, he was walking in traffic, endangering himself and motorists, police said. Two officers located the man, who was described as an African-American in his 30s, behind a restaurant in the city, some 16 miles northeast of San Diego.  Olango refused multiple instructions to remove his hand from hi

The Iraqi housewife who 'cooked the heads' of ISIS fighters

 Shirqat, Iraq (CNN) "Shut up and stay still," the woman in black fatigues and a black headscarf snapped over her shoulder at the armed men behind her as she sat down for an interview. Immediately they went quiet, each adjusting his weapon and standing up straight as if he'd been called to attention.     This is a woman who commands respect, I thought. She keeps a Beretta 9-millimeter pistol in a holster under her left arm. The area around the trigger was silver where the paint had worn off. The woman in question, 39-year-old Wahida Mohamed -- better known as Um Hanadi -- leads a force of around 70 men in the area of Shirqat, a town 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Mosul, Iraq. She and her men, part of a tribal militia, recently helped government forces drive ISIS out of the town. In the man's world that is rural Iraq, female fighters are a rarity.     Um Hanadi is not new to this. "I began fighting the terrorists in 200

Reps: Clinton aides who got immunity deals directed email scrubbing

Image
The tech specialist who scrubbed Hillary Clinton's email archive and was recently found to have sought help on Reddit for how to hide a certain "VIP's" email address was acting at the behest of Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and IT specialist Bryan Pagliano, a top House Republican charged Wednesday. "The clincher: just last week, he's going online and trying to delete these Reddit posts,"  Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said of Colorado-based tech specialist Paul Combetta, who reached a limited immunity deal with the Justice Department. "He's trying to cover up his tracks, he's trying to cover up the cover up." After a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Jordan pointed to the FBI's timeline of the investigation released to Congress and to the public online. The FBI record

According to Obasanjo, the governor’s refused to allow him save excess oil funds during his tenure. The former president made the comments on Tuesday, September 27, during the 2016 World Pension Summit in Abuja. “I remember when I was in government and I told, particularly, the governors, ‘please let us save for the rainy days.’ They said no!” Obasanjo said according to Vanguard. “There was no rain at that time, now that the rain has come; there is nothing we can fall back on to cushion us. “One of the things that makes me very happy in the pension scheme is that in the last five years, when almost everything goes, concerning public funds, pension funds remain sacrosanct. I believe that the pension funds are something we must preserv

Federal Government Lists Conditions For Sales Of National Assets

Image
As part of its decision to help Nigeria through the tough economic times, the Federal government has listed some conditions it would consider before it sells some of its assets. The conditions, include: inserting a repurchasing clause in the assets sales agreements and no outright sale of the yet unnamed assets. A Presidency source told The Nation: “The Federal Government has no plan to sell off its shares outright in the LNG, where it owns 49% shares. The balance of 51% is owned by private foreign interests. “The Federal Government doesn’t own the entire gas company and will certainly not sell off its entire shares, but it’s open to the possibility of selling down its 49% ownership by 5% or thereabout.” On the repurchase clause, he said: “Just as in other potential asset sales, there would be a repurchase option that guarantees the Federal Government’s opportunity to buy back any such assets if circumstances change anytime in the future. “Some of the intended

The Headmistress appealed to parents to try and put their little school children in the care of grown up schoolmates, so as to avo

According to Chimwemwe Kaonga, Youth Commissioner for the National Aids Commission (NAC), unofficial red light streets have popped up within the country's business district of Blantyre, with women queuing for hours to earn a living.

I saw tens and tens of girls, some as young as 12 and 13 years, standing along the streets and drinking joints waiting for men to exchange their bodies with money. "I was so shocked, this situation is deplorable and unacceptable," said Kaonga.

Nigerian lawmakers to probe 'illegal' MTN transfer of $13.9 bln

Image
  Lawmakers in the upper house of Nigeria's parliament agreed on Tuesday to investigate an allegation that MTN illegally transferred $13.92 billion out of the West African country.   MTN declined to comment on the decision of the Senate in Nigeria which, with 62 million subscribers, is its biggest market. MTN shares were down by 4.20 percent, at 2.46 pm (3:46 pm Pretoria time), on Tuesday. The allegation was made in a motion submitted to the upper house by Senator Dino Melaye which said $13.92 billion had been repatriated "illegally" out of Nigeria by MTN through its bankers between 2006 and 2016. The investigation threatens to raise tensions between Nigeria and the South African firm just three months after MTN agreed to pay a reduced fine of 330 billion naira ($1.05 billion) in a settlement with the Abuja government over unregistered SIM cards. The move comes as Nigeria, Africa's biggest economy, is in recession for the fi

Image
ABUJA —Organised labour, yesterday, said it was mobilising to confront the Federal Government over its decision to sell some national assets which had before now sustained the nation’s economy. Organised Labour’s declaration came on a day the National Union of Textile, Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, NUTGTWN, cautioned President Muhammadu Buhari against planned sale of the assets. Addressing journalists in Abuja, president of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, described the proposed decision of the government to dispose of the national assets as reckless auctioning of the nation’s commonwealth to a coterie of capitalists and government’s close associates. Wabba, who also inaugurated a committee, alongside the Academic Staff Union Of Universities, ASUU, to engage the Federal Government on the issue, said if the dialogue with the government to stop the sale of national assets failed, it would mobilise its members across the country to embark on a nationwide

Forex shortage pushes naira to 445/dollar

Image
The naira tumbled to 445 against the United States dollar at the parallel market on Monday, down from the 440 recorded on Sunday. The chronic dollar shortage hitting the economy took a new twist last Wednesday with the local currency dropping to 428 to the dollar after trading around 424 for several weeks. The naira lost 0.05 per cent of its value between last Wednesday and Monday, an equivalent of N21 in less than a week. Economic and currency analysts link the latest decline in the value of the local currency against the greenback to activities of currency speculators and an increasing dollar demand amid decline in forex supply.
