Police Confirm 11 Dead In Adamawa Suicide Bombing

By Author
The Adamawa State Police Command has confirmed the killing of 11 persons, by two female suicide bombers who attacked Dar village in Madagali Loal Government Area of Adamawa State on Saturday night.
The suicide bombers suspected to be members of the Boko Haram terrorist group invaded the village and particularly chose a crowded area where they detonated the explosive devices they had strapped on themselves.
Police spokesman for the Adamawa State Police Command, DSP Othman Abubakar, told Channels Television in Yola, the capital of the state, that bodies of the suicide bombers were discovered among those of the innocent lives lost.
Mr Abubakar said three houses were burnt while most of the wounded persons were receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Center in Yola.
Boko Haram Militants have been launching attacks on villages since Madagali was liberated from their grip by the Nigerian troops in February.
For over five years, the insurgents have attacked communities, places of worship, schools and other public places in the region, as they seek the establishment of an Islamic state and an end to western education in the region.
Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, had in August mandated the military to end the activities of the Boko Haram sect in the region in three months.
Last week, he said he would continue the fight against the insurgents until their defeat and also gave conditions for any possible negotiation with the terrorist group.

OMG Davido opens up about baby mama

By
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the grate lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade....
