• Victim beheaded

Three persons were yesterday, killed in cult-related clash­es in two commu­nities of Bane and Kpaa in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the local gov­ernment, Hyacinth Nwiye, who confirmed the incidents to journalists, said two per­sons were killed in Bane, while a woman was shot dead in Kpaa community during the clashes between two rival cult groups.

According to him, one of the cultists was shot and be­headed.

“When I heard about the incident, I quickly called the divisional police officer (DPO) to find out what hap­pened. I went there myself and when I got there, I dis­covered that the corpses have been brought to the police station.

“I went with them to the mortuary, where the corpses were deposited. I later dis­covered that one of the cult­ists that participated in this nefarious act was shot dead and beheaded. His head was taken away. We went with the police to take the head­less body to the mortuary,” he said.

The chairman said the motive behind incessant cult clashes in the area could not be established.

When contacted, the state Assistant Police Public Rela­tions Officer, Grace Koko, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), told Daily Sun that the matter was under in­vestigation.

I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works).

THE FIRE ON 23 ROAD – FESTAC, LAGOS

By
A fire outbreak occured on 23 Road in Festac on Saturday the 14th, February, 2015 which is the popular Valentine's day. Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl...
