A thunderstorm has killed 18 suspected kidnappers at a forest in Adamawa State.

Sources said the men of the underworld were sharing ransom money they got from their victims when the thunder struck them.

The incident occurred within the Toungo Local Government Area of the state, local sources said.

Toungo is a town and local government area in the southern part of Adamawa State on the Nigeria-Cameroon border.

“The bandits, it was gathered, had collected over N20 million from their wealthy victims between Koncha in Cameroon and Toungo in Nigeria,” a source in Toungo said.

According to the source, the suspected kidnappers met their end because angry victims went spiritual against them.

“Angered by incessant attacks by the kidnappers, community leaders and victims consulted a native doctor to send thunder after the bandits. They met their Waterloo when they gathered to share the money,” the source said, adding that local hunters could not retrieve their corpses nor their money inside some bags as well as their weapons.

The Adamawa State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, said Friday morning that the incident actually happened within Cameroon soil near the border with Nigeria.

“We heard that the victims engaged the services of a native doctor, but it was said to have occurred in the neighbouring Cameroon, which is not under our jurisdiction,” Nguroje said.

One of the suspects arrested and detained over Uwaila Omozuwa’s Rape and death has accused Uwa’s Pastor of being responsible for her death.

According to a Journalist, Ayo Ademokoya, the suspect allegedly confessed that Uwa had gotten pregnant for the RCCG clergy and refused to abort it, as against his order. This made him contract the hoodlums whom he paid 1.5million, as planned together with his wife, to have her killed so as to cover up his sins.

He said: “The arrested suspect Mr Chibuzo confessed to DSS that, it was the RCCG pastor that paid them 1.5 million naira to kill the year one UNIBEN student. According to our source, the pastor impregnated the girl and asked her to abort the baby, but the girl refused.

“So, the made arrangement for them to meet at their usual hangout spot which is the church, that was where the pastor set her up. He paid some hoodlums 1.5million and told them where to meet the girl.”

“So, instead of seeing the pastor in the church, The girl met the hoodlums. After hitting her head with fire extinguisher, the hoodlums decided to have a taste of her before she died, so, they took their turns. The pastor did that to cover his sins but it has backfired.

“Both the pastor and his wife are on the run because they planed dastardly act together!”, Ayo Ademokoya reported.

In this report, shola oguntoye examines how southwest leaders have explored the June 12 success to impact positively on the region and the polity at large.

Nigeria’s political history is incomplete without copious reference to June 12th and its symbol

The historical antecedent of June 12 election and its cancellation have remained a watershed in the nation’s democratic experience and perhaps the very reason why its memory lingers in the consciousness of the entire nation.

Speaking on how June 12 success has improved southwest region as well as the nation’s political leaders, an information specialist Mr Adegbenro Adebanjo submitted that June recognition was expected but that such had not properly reflected the Abiola mantra which centred on the good of the people.

Mr Adegbenro charged the emerging leaders from southwest and across the nation to make the region more self sufficient than to always depend on the centre often for a way out of major challenges confronting the region.

Reflecting on how the leaders across board could make the gain of June 12 more entrenched, a legal practitioner and advocate of good governance, Mr Bolarinwa Levi posited that the nation’s political leaders should be ready to make sacrifices that would enhance human wellness across the country.

Other respondents are of the opinions that more commitments and sacrifice were still being expected from the nation’s leaders to make June 12 recognition a worthwhile development.
