Nowhere to hide:

The definitions etched by colonial maps and traditional hierarchies are rapidly dissolving under the relentless, purifying light of the 21st century. Nowhere is this transition more stark than in Ozoro, the administrative heartbeat of Isoko North in Delta State. 

Once shielded by the ‘hiding places’ of geographical and informational isolation and incorrectly etched as 'Usoro' on archaic maps; Ozoro is now the epicenter of a national reckoning that is stripping away the ancient shields of silence.

ITRealms:

The Special Assistant on Media to the Minister of Communications, Mr. Victor Oluwadamilare and three others, on Monday, narrowly escaped death in a motor accident at Yangoji, Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, reports ITRealms.

Confirming this to ITRealms, Mr. Oluwadamilare said the accident occurred around Yangoji along Lokoja-Abuja highway, a village in suburb of the Federal Capital Territory, stressing that it is true he was involved with injuries but is recovering.

“The crash involved a trailer loaded with cement which was headed towards Abuja and a Toyota Hilux van which conveyed the minister's aide and three others who were returning to Abuja from Lagos on an official assignment,” he said.

"It is true but I thank God I am recuperating from the injuries I sustained. The driver was operated upon because he sustained multiple injuries. He had an internal injury but thank God it was successful. He is now recuperating at the National Hospital, Abuja, while others have been discharged from the hospital. Thank you so much for your concern," he appreciated.

The Toyota Hilux, an eye-witness noted was on motion when the trailer took-off from its park without any light indication showing that a vehicle was going in the front. 

He said that the Minster’s aide and other occupants sustained severe injuries, adding that no live was however lost in the terrible accident.

The eyewitness maintained that he was among the people who rescued the victims before the arrival of the men of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) who evacuated them from the scene of the incident to Kwali General Hospital. 

"I was at the bus stop around 7:30 pm when I heard a loud unusual bang. There was a trailer loaded with cement which took off from that area and headed towards Abuja without light to indicate a vehicle was going. 

"The Toyota Hilux was on motion when the driver realised that a vehicle had took-off from that spot and before he notice the trailer, it was closer to the trailer and that was what led to the accident," the source told ITRealms.

Chief Boko Haram bomb maker killed by colleague, another blinded – Army Spokesman

ITRealms:

The Nigerian Army has said that the chief Boko Haram terrorists bomb maker has been killed by colleague in attempt to escape from the group, reports ITRealms.

Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, disclosed this in a press statement made available to ITRealms, Tuesday, saying that things seems to be falling apart in the hierarchy of the terrorist group, as another top member has gone blind.

He described this development as a major breakthrough in the clearance and rescue operation by the Nigerian military, confirming as the chief bomb maker and a high ranking terrorist, were shot dead Tuesday.

According to Usman, the chief bomb maker, apart from his high status in the command structure of the Boko Haram terrorists, was one of their capable hands involved in making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), coming after their chief scientist, called Abu RPG, who has been killed long ago.

Usman also said that the chief bomb maker  was killed by one of the body guard of the Boko Haram terrorists leader, Abubakar Shekau as he was about to run away just like several others are doing because of the intensity of operation CRACKDOWN.

In a related development, he said, one Julelebeeb who was appointed to take over is now completely blind because his two eyes were shattered by shrapnel, in the process of preparing an IED to consolidate his appointment.

There is no doubt, this development has dealt a devastating blow on the terrorists capacity on IED preparation, suicide bombing and their ability to sustain their criminal acts.

Nigerian Army, therefore, reassured the public that “our troops are continuing with the clearance and rescue operations successfully in order to completely clear Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hiding.”
