Hold Jonathan Responsible For Whatever Happens To Me, My Family Or Even The People Of Kano – Kwankwaso

The Governor of Kano State, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, revealed that his life is endangered and he may be on President Goodluck Jonathan’s watch list.

The governor made this declaration during an interview with PREMIUM TIMES in Abuja on June 11, 2014, Wednesday. He revealed that the president had ordered reduction of Kwankwaso’s security by 50%, therefore making the governor vulnerable to physical attacks.
He further commented on the current unrest in Kano State triggered by emergence of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the new Emir of Kano on June 8, 2014, Sunday. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and President Goodluck Jonathan have been obviously against such a candidature. 
The supporters of a son of the late emir, Ado Bayero, continue their protests against the appointment of an ex CBN boss.
However, Kwankwaso revealed he possesses “credible information” that the “mayhem” is being unleashed in accordance with presidential instructions and funding.

He further emphasised that the protests and destruction of governmental property in the state are being ignited and encouraged because it is being controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In particular, he reminded that in Gombe a similar procedure had been completed a couple of days ago. Kwankwaso said the new emir was elected there without any tensions because the state is controlled by the PDP.
The governor further confirmed that the police laid a siege on the emir’s palace and intended to arrest the emir, therefore HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanisu could not move there, put the responsibility on the president.
Kwankwaso informed that 92% of Kano population were APC supporters, while the remaining 8% were “brewing and supporting crisis”.
It would be added that PREMIUM TIMES’ attempts to get comments on the statements given above have not been successful, as presidential aides Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe were not available.
The relationship between Governor Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso and President Goodluck Jonathan used to be warm and hearty. However, after the governor dumped PDP for APC in 2013 they are being on decline. Both politicians used tough words against one another accusing each other of corruption and unprofessionalism.

Presidency Orders The Arrest Of Emir of Kano

Police Receives Order To Arrest New Emir Of Kano

A source within the Presidency in Abuja, on Wednesday revealed to SaharaReporters that the Nigerian police have been ordered to arrest the newly-crowned Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

The source said the new Emir is to be arrested on fraud-related charges starting from his tenure as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
He said a team of police officers stationed at the Emir’s palace in Kano have been given order from the force headquarters to place Sanusi under arrest immediately he steps out of the state’s Governor’s lodge.
According to the source, the Emir was supposed to be arrested at his house on Sunday night after the Kano State Governor announced his appointment. 
It would be recalled that the presidency was alleged to have made some moves to frustrate Sanusi from emerging the new Emir of Kano, following the hasty congratulatory message the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) sent to one of the candidates before the choice was officially announced. 
The new Emir has been inside the Kano State governor’s lodge, where he has been receiving visitors as well as undertaking traditional rites.    
Meanwhile, the source further disclosed that prominent northern leaders had earlier warned President Goodluck Jonathan not to execute such rash action in order not to aggravate the already unstable situation currently in Kano State.  
Though it could not be ascertained if the President is considering dialoguing the issue, but it was gathered that he is yet to send a congratulatory message to the new Emir even after his party had since done so.  
The President has been taking a swipe at the former CBN governor since February, over the revelation that Jonathan and his associates have stolen at least $20 billion from crude oil sales in the last two years.

Chris Brown to be locked up till June as his trial is delayed

This is what they call witch hunting..lol. When people say someone in your village is doing you, this is what it looks like. They're doing whatever they can to break him. Now feeling really sorry for him. Chris Brown will stay in jail until June after his D.C assault trial was delayed for months. His lawyer applied for bail yesterday but a judge in L.A turned him down.
His trial was supposed to start yesterday April 23rd but was delayed because his bodyguard, Chris Hollosy, who has already been found guilty of assault, wanted immunity to testify on Chris' behalf, saying that he and not Chris punched the fan. But he wasn't granted immunity and so he is refusing to testify while he appeals his verdict. Chris Brown's trial is now on hold until after Hollosy's appeal concludes...and this will take months. Chris Brown faces up to four years in prison if found guilty.

The singer reportedly broke down in court when he was told his bail application was denied. Now he's being sent back to California on Con-Air in chains to await his trial date. Hang in there, Chris!

'My mother and father were brother and sister' - Harrysong reveals

Singer Harrysong known now as Mr Songs, revealed recently that his father and mother are siblings.

In an interview with Yes! magazine, he said he's an only child because his parents split after finding out they were related by blood.

"My father and mother are actually brother and sister. They gave birth to me before they could realize that. It was a big abomination, so they had to separate. Even, they attempted to kill my father in that village but he fled, because in Warri where I come from , it is a taboo. They termed it incest.”

Vybz Kartel caught on video committing murder; video leaks online

On April 3rd Jamaican dance-hall star Vybz Kartel was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing a former associate, Clive 'Lizard' Williams. He just filed an appeal against his sentence but it's unlikely he will make any headway with that because his murder video just leaked online.

When he was arrested back in 2011, the center piece of the murder case was a video tape made at the crime scene (Vybz' own home) implicating Vybz and his co-defendants. Well, someone just leaked that video footage...and it's chilling! They chopped the guy into pieces...that's why a body has never been found. This guy is ruthless, OMG! Continue...



The murder victim, Clive Williams

From Urban Islandz 

An anonymous source sent Urban Islandz several video footage, some of which allegedly played in court during the high profile murder trial.
In the video you can see several men in a house that sources say is Kartel’s house by Havendale where the murder took place on August 16, 2011.
One of then men was seen with a pick axe, while another man has what appears to be blood stain on his shirt.
The language in the video is very chilling.
“Yow hear weh mi a say.. mi want yo hold him with a knife and stab him in a him neck and slow him down…,” one man said in the video.
“Hold down and make mi cut him throat,” another man said in the video.
“You affi swing it hard and no mek it ketch mi,” one man told the man with the pick axe.
There is also another video and a photo of a headless man rumored to be the body of Clive “Lizard” Williams. But these are too gruesome to be published.
