Three hunters (Munkailu Sani, Mai-Riga Ahmadu and Umar Hussaini) arrested July 19th around Tungan-Kifi at Yankari Game reserve in Bauchi state. The hunters who are all from Kashera reportedly killed a hartebeest (African Antelope) and Waterbuck (another type of large antelope found widely in sub-Saharan Africa) before their arrest.

They were fined N100,000 each or five months in jail. They were unable to pay the fine and so all three were jailed.

I’ll be in Senate for life dailytrust.com.ng I’ll be in Senate for life — Bukar Ibrahim A former governor of Yobe State, Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim (APC, Yobe East), said yesterday that he will be in the Senate for life. Ibrahim had served as Yobe governor three times before he went to the Senate in 2007. He was re-elected in 2011 and for the third time in 2015. He is at the moment the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ecology and Climate Change. His wife, Khadija Bukar Ibrahim, was at the House of Representatives also for the third time until President Muhammadu Buhari made her Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in 2015.

A Nigerian lady, Mary Ero has recounted how singer Banky W was the only one who helped her 8-years ago when she was abandoned by her child’s father, sacked from MTV where she worked, diagnosed with HIV and also evicted by a friend she was staying with. Read her heartwarming story below… “ So today this happened. On the surface it might look like an ordinary celebrity / child-of-starstruck-parent photo opp but there is a deeper story here.
