Panic in Kano as police uncover 4bomb explosives

KANO- Uneasy calm pervaded the ancient city of
Kano, Wednesday, following the discovery of high
calibre explosive devices behind a popular bakery
located along Rijiyar Zaki quarters of the state.
An eyewitness told Vanguard that no fewer than
four high calibers of Improvised Explosive Devices
IED were discovered around the area by a security
conscious resident who reported to the appropriate
authority.
The discovery followed a similar one uncovered on
Tuesday inside the lecture hall of Federal College
of Education, Kano, which caused panic among the
students and subsequent disruption of academic
activities in the institution.
However, trooped movement towards the area and
diversion of traffic on the highway by security
agents further fueled nervousness among resident
as several motorists and commuters were
compelled to abandoned the road for their safety.
Meanwhile, the Police authority in the trouble city
has assured that there was no cause for alarm as
security agencies are on top of the situation and
subsequently enjoined residents to go about their
legitimate businesses without fear or molestation.
The Kano Public Relation Officer, DSP Rilwanu
Muhammad Dutse told Vanguard on telephone that
"there was no fresh bomb uncovered in the area",
stressing that " it was leftover of IED's used by the
extremist in a failed attack on our patrol vehicle last
Sunday"
Dutse explained that "the deployment of anti- bomb
squad to the scene on Wednesday was principally
to defuse the IED's", adding that a sponsored
message on Radio station forewarning the public
not to panic upon hearing a loud sound were on air
in the state.

Breaking New ~Segun Arinze and Esiri robbed

Segun Arinze and Justus Esiri
News coming from London about two Nollywood icons,
Segun Arinze and Justus Esiri is not palatable as we
learnt that they were robbed in their London Hotel
located in Surrey, United Kingdom some days ago.
According to the gist yinkusblog gathered, the
ugly incident allegedly happened at Teavelodge in
Surrey, UK. The hotel had three keys shared among the
clientele, the hotel manager and the female Polish
cleaner who cleans the apartment.
The actors have been in London for a month now
staging a theatre tour including 'The king must dance
naked' and other stage plays. They have also been at
the Nigeria House, Royal Theatre, Stratford, London.
On that fateful day, the actors reportedly went for their
usual rehearsal. On their return, they noticed that their
belongings had been tampered with. After doing a
check, they discovered that some valuables have grown
wings and flew away.
Segun reportedly lost his Ipad while Justus Esiri was
unlucky as his international passport with various visas
in it, his travelling documents, laptop, monies and
several other valuables got missing.
Though the matter is said to have reported to the police,
but no arrest has been made yet. We also learnt that the
hotel had no CCTV cameras to capture the alleged
robbery footage.
However, on Justus Esiri's lost passport, the Nigeria
mission in the UK reportedly issued a new passport to
him on self-recognition. This, as were gathered, was
done based on his National Honours of Order of the
Niger (OON) award.
Segun, Justus and other cast including Olu Jacobs,
Joke Silva, Bimbo Akintola and others are expected
back in Nigeria on Monday, August 6, 2012.

Jim iyke in fresh trouble

Nollywood actor, James Ikechukwu Asomogha better
known as Jim Iyke has landed into a fresh trouble. The
star actor, who was gradually getting himself cleared
from an alleged 15 million mess with Habiba Abubakar,
is about to be dragged into another set of muddy water.
Some 'unscrupulous' fellows have found joy in carrying
out some fraudulent activities with the actor's hard
earned name. These individuals now go about with the
intent of defrauding unsuspecting fans of Jim Iyke on
twitter with some frivolous 'business' proposals claiming
to be the real Jim Iyke.
Jim Iyke alerted the public recently when he stated,
"Please beware of a [Twitter] handle named 'JIM
IYKE' making the rounds and offering all kinds of
business. It is not by any means affiliated with me or
my concerns."
The real twitter handle of Jim Iyke is 'jimiykeofficial'. Jim
is presently holidaying on a 12-day vacation in London
and Paris.
