Gunmen abduct seven foreign construction workers in Nigeria

Gunmen stormed a Lebanese-owned construction site in northern Nigeria, kidnapping seven foreign workers and killing a security guard, police said Sunday.

Two Lebanese, an Italian and a Greek have been confirmed by their governments to be among those seized in the attack late Saturday on the Lebanese-owned Setraco construction site in the town of Jama'are in Bauchi State.

"From the report we have received, the hostages are seven in all. They include four Lebanese, an Italian, a Briton and a Greek," Bauchi state police spokesman Hassan Auyo said.

However there has been no confirmation that a Briton was among those kidnapped, nor that the number of Lebanese was four.

"We are aware of reports and are making enquiries with the local authorities," Britain's Foreign Office said.

The Lebanese foreign ministry said two of its citizens were among those seized, while officials in Athens and Rome have confirmed that a Greek citizen and an Italian were kidnapped.

Bauchi is among the states in northern Nigeria attacked repeatedly by Islamists from the Boko Haram group, but it was not clear if they were behind the latest violence.

Bauchi's police chief Mohammed Ladan said a security guard was shot dead in the raid in Jama'are, which lies about 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the state capital Bauchi city.

Setraco Nigeria, a construction and civil engineering company, is a subsidiary of Setraco International Holding group.

The Nigerian company, which was established in 1977, is currently working on expanding a major road in northern Nigeria.

The attack on the construction site came after the same gunmen were repelled while trying to storm a police station and a prison in the town, the police chief further explained.

Gunmen launched a similar attack on a police station in the town of Kafin Madaki, 40 kilometres from the state capital, triggering a shootout, but Ladan did not provide any casualty figures.

Drug use may cause pulmonary embolism, and pulmonary embolism may lead to sudden death.As fans of Goldie try to deal with this revelation, another one came up via Facebook raising questions about Goldie’s marital status. Was she married or single? Does it mean that Goldie while she lived had an identical twin? If that was actually Goldie, what else did we not know about her?

Actress, Foluke Daramola Marries Lagos Big Boy, Kayode Salako***After Wrecking His 13 years Old Marriage***

Popular yoruba actress, Foluke Daramola few hours ago had a traditional wedding with the new man in her life.
The wedding took place at Foluke’s parents’ home at No 2, Gbeleyi Avenue, by Oyemekun Street, Ogba, Lagos.
Foluke Daramola’s new husband is Kayode Salako, the man behind a Lagos based pressure group called FASHOLAMANIA.
He is also the promoter of a group known as Change Agent of Nigeria Network.

The traditional wedding today makes it the second time the actress will be getting married. Foluke was formerly married to Tunde Sobowale, son of Ex- Lagos State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Sobowale.

The wedding ceremony between Foluke and Tunde was a talk of the town, as the then governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was the chairman of the reception.

The union produced two kids before it crashed few years back.

Foluke’s new marriage is also with it’s own stinking scandals as it was alleged that the actress destroyed Kayode Salako’s 13 year old marriage to his wife, Olubukola.

Olukubola who is said to be a Pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God packed out of her matrimonial home some months back when her husband refused to end the romance with the busty actress.

‘My mother-in-law demands my finger nails!’

A middle-aged man, Luqman Agoro, has pleaded with the Agege Customary Court, Lagos, to dissolve his marriage to Saidat. He claimed that his wife was stubborn and denied him access to his child. He said she had been negatively influenced by her mother.

“She does not listen to me; she does anything her mother wants her to do. She does not mind if it’s bad or good and she keeps to herself,” he said.

He told the court that there was a time his mother-in-law asked his wife to bring his finger nails and his wife didn’t tell him until he was eventually confronted by his mother-in-law.

“She doesn’t listen to me; but she does anything her mother tells her with dispatch,” he said.

Agoro told the court that his wife left her matrimonial home because he asked her to stop attending the same church with her mother.

Responding, Sadiat, 27, a sales girl, denied some of the allegations.

“My husband threw me out of my matrimonial home for giving birth to a baby girl.

“He had warned me earlier that if I give birth to a baby girl I would not live under the same roof with him and that he would not be responsible for the child upbringing,” she said.

The court president, Emmanuel Shokunle, granted the custody of the child to the mother, asking the father to be responsible for the upkeep of the child.

He said both of them shall no longer be addressed as husband and wife.
