HISTORY WANTS TO REPEAT SOMEWHERE
History repeats itself we all
know, but repeating in a very short time is very uncommon. There are wide
speculations that the Syrian President, Bashar Assad is toeing the
line of the former Libyan strong man Muammar Ghadafi as he urged
his military on Thursday to boost its fight against rebels. Also, his written
call to arms only deepened a mystery over his whereabouts two weeks after
a bomb penetrated his inner circle. It is known that Assad has not spoken
publicly since a July 18 bombing killed four of his top security
officials— including his brother-in-law—during a rebel assault on the
capital, Damascus. Does these line of events remind you of any country or
any past leadership?

The State Security Service (SSS) has paraded members of a six-man gang who killed the principal private secretary to the Edo State governor, Mr Olaitan Oyerinde.
Mr Oyerinde Olaitan was shot and killed at his residence in Benin City by suspected assassins on the 4th of May, 2012.
Parading the suspects in Abuja, spokesperson of the secret service, Marilyn Ogar said the late Oyerinde was murdered by Mohammed Abdullahi, Raymond Origbo and Chikezie Edeh.
She further revealed that items stolen from his residence on the night of his murder were bought by Saidu Yakubu, Sani Abdullahi and Hassan Bashiru.
Mrs Ogar appealed to members of the public to volunteer useful information to security agencies in order to make Nigeria a safer place. She added that the suspects will be handed over to the police for criminal prosecution.
Answering questions from journalists, a member of the gang, Chikezie Edeh disclosed that the late Oyerinde was actually shot by the leader of the gang, Mohammed Abdullahi who claimed that he thought the deceased was going to attack him.
