A policeman, who has been described by many Nigerians as a hero after a viral video showed him gunning down one of the four armed robbers who attacked a bank in Imo State in February 2017, died two months after the incident, PUNCH has learnt. He is Sergeant Chukwudi Iboko. The three-minute video, apparently a CCTV footage from the bank, has been circulated on news sites and blogs in the last few days, quickly becoming one of the most talked about events of the past week in Nigeria.

Four men emerged from the vehicle, with three holding weapons, which looked like AK47 rifles.

A Jos Upper Area Court on Thursday dissolved the marriage between 27-year-old Rukayat Ahmed, an NYSC member, and Alkasim Ahmed, following a petition filed by the former. Rukayat, a resident of Jos, had approached the court seeking the dissolution of the marriage on the grounds that she was no more in love with Alkasim. The woman, who filed a direct complaint to the court, argued that such separation was permissible in Islamic law, “if the partners are no more in love and therefore unwilling to live together”. When the case was mentioned on May 25, the husband did not object to Rukayat’s demand.

Muslims leaders from across Britain have refused to bury the three ISIS-claimed attackers who brought terror to central London and killed seven. British police identified Khuram Shazad Butt and Rashid Redouane, as two of three attackers who struck pedestrians with a van on London Bridge and stabbed pub-goers after crashing. One eyewitness said that an attacker shouted “this is for Allah” during the assault, but more than 100 imams and Muslim scholars from across Britain have said that they cannot even bury the terrorists after such actions that claim to be in the name of Islam. Though at no time is it acceptable, that such ruthless violence was perpetrated during the season of Ramadan, in which Muslims worldwide focus on pious devotion, prayer, charity and the cultivation of good character, demonstrates how utterly misguided and distant the terrorists are from our faith and the contempt which they hold for its values,”  read a statement released by the Muslim Council of Brita...

“ It’s become a problem — but could the chief executive ever give up his self-defeating social media use?” The entire world is fed up with Trump’s Twitter fingers, and like we said here , it’s about time they got their own Guinness Book of Records.

Senior writer at The Thrive Global sounds the alarm about potential causes and these are the 5 things we learned: 1 Trump has turned the knife inwards Just when we thought Donald Trump couldn’t get more unfiltered, the president attacked his own Justice Department via Twitter.

Nicholas James, a professor at the University of Birmingham, who led the research, said: “These are the most powerful results I’ve seen from a prostate cancer trial – it’s a once-in-a-career feeling. “This is one of the biggest reductions in death I’ve seen in any clinical trial for adult cancers.” Sumanta Kumar Pal, an expert with the American Society of Clinical Oncology, explained the benefits of the drug. “Abiraterone now offers...

Ande made the statement on Monday in Ilorin in a paper he presented at a public seminar organised by the university. In his paper with the title “Consider the ways of Ants and be Wise,” the entomologist described insects as the “most successful and influential group” of organisms in the biosphere.

In 1985, or was it 1986, a top official of the Babangida administration said something that, up till today, I am still struggling to understand. The naval officer and member of the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC) said: “We are over-pampering the youth when we call them leaders of tomorrow.” I now can’t remember the occasion or the context, but I was already a teenager at the time and was used to the popular expression that “the youth are the leaders of tomorrow”. It was a simple, indisputable statement and a natural fact, I always thought. I, therefore, couldn’t understand his proclamation. Maybe I was too young to appreciate it. I am much older now and if you ask me to interpret that statement, I would still struggle. Maybe he meant it as a deliberate check on youthful exuberance. Maybe he meant the youth should be reminded of their responsibilities since more emphasis was being constantly paid to their rights. Maybe he meant there is more to leadership than the youth were b...
