Photos: Two robbers apprehended after a failed attempt to rob a Lawyer in Warri

Two robbers were almost lynched yesterday, June 28 after a failed attempt to rob a man of his belongings around Enehren, Sefia Close, in Warri, Delta state.

According to an eye witness, the man identified as a lawyer left entered a Keke, unaware of the fact that he was being trailed by the suspect who were probably acting on a tip-off.

When the robbers also entered same Keke, the lawyer became suspicious and raised alarm. They were immediately apprehended and were about to be burnt alive but fortunately rescued by a vigilante team.

On interrogation, they claimed it was hunger that led them into crime. One of them also claimed that his wife had just delivered and he had no means to take care of the newborn. However, no weapon was found on them.

Nigeria senate leader Saraki denies forgery charges

The leader of Nigeria's senate, Bukola Saraki, and his deputy have pleaded not guilty to forgery and criminal conspiracy charges. Mr Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu are accused of trying to forge the senate rules in order to help them secure their positions. If found guilty they face up to 14 years in prison. President Muhammadu Buhari has been at loggerheads with Mr Saraki as his party did not want him as senate leader. Mr Buhari's preferred candidate was not present when the senate elected its president last year. Mr Saraki's opponents say that that election was not valid and was conducted under rules which they allege were forged. The case could have widespread political ramifications, correspondents .

Oil Militants Call for Referendum on Breaking up Nigeria

il militants who have slashed Nigeria's petroleum production with attacks on pipelines called Sunday for a referendum on breaking up the Nigerian federation.

The Niger Delta Avengers group posted a map on social media suggesting that the West African power house could divide into five countries.

Analysts had predicted that the stunning result of the British referendum to leave the EU would encourage separatists in Nigeria. "Separatist groups will feel emboldened," Nigeria's SBM Intelligence warned in an analysis of the fallout from the British vote.

"President (Muhammadu) Buhari should call for a referendum to enable every Nigerian to vote if they want to stay as Nigerians or not, just like what David Cameron of Great Britain did," the Avengers posted on Twitter.

Niger Delta Avengers Blow Up Another Pipeline

ABUJA, Nigeria, June 16 (UPI) -- The assault on oil installations in the Niger Delta continued Thursday with a group taking credit for blowing up a pipeline run by a national oil company.

The attack is the second in less than a week for the Niger Delta Avengers, which has declared war on the national and international oil companies operating in the region. The militant group, and others like it in the Niger Delta region, argues the government in Abuja has put revenue interests above the interests of its people. In its latest official statement, the group said the people of the Niger Delta have been asking for basic necessities since crude oil was discovered in the region.
