President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, has instructed police and military security personnel attached to him to respect traffic regulations during his movements.
In a statement released by his media team in Abuja, Mr. Buhari said respect for the law would be the guiding philosophy of his administration, adding, “without leadership by example, the ordinary citizens would become copycats of the lawlessness of their leaders”.
The President-elect explained that the “arrogance of power, lawlessness and disregard for the rights and convenience of fellow citizens would have no place in his government”.
According to him, for leaders to inspire respect, they must obey the laws of country, adding that when leaders treat the country’s laws with contempt, they might send the wrong message to the citizens.
Mr. Buhari deployed the situation where fellow citizens are punished at traffic points and public roads because of the “arrogant lawlessness of the leaders”.
He said in a democracy, leaders should not inflict inconveniences and other unbearable ordeals on citizens for their own comfort.
The President-elect advised his military and police security personnel to be in tune with his philosophy of “bringing the rule of law in the conduct of leaders during their movements on public roads.”

A 33-year-old trailer driver, who reportedly stabbed his friend to death on Monday night at Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos State, has confessed that his action was a mistake he regretted.It was learned that the suspect, identified as Tunde Azeez, allegedly stabbed Lukmon Ayedun with a broken bottle at 8:42pm during a brawl.
Azeez, a father of one from Ogbomosho, told Vanguard:
“I did not kill him deliberately. All I did was wake him up from sleep so that he could eat with me. I did not know it would make him angry or degenerate to a fight, let alone lead to his death.What actually happened on that fateful day was that I went to buy food from a nearby food vendor at Amuwo Odofin. When I came back my friend Lukmon was sleeping.
“So I woke him up to eat. He got angry and gave me a blow. I was surprised, so I asked him why he was acting so weird and if he was alright.
“As if that was not enough, while I was asking him what was wrong with him, he broke a bottle and stabbed me on my left hand.Immediately, I took a bottle, broke it and stabbed him on his head.
“Afterwards, I ran to call Sir K, an Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Commander and others to intervene because Lukmon was still holding a bottle, making attempt to stab me again.When Sir K and other people came to intervene, they decided to take us to the hospital because we were bleeding terribly from the injuries.He fell off the motorcycle and died on the way to the hospital.
“For goodness sake, I do not have any reason to kill him; we have been friends for over four years before this unfortunate incident.I am married with a child and from Ogbomosho in Oyo State. I am a truck driver and started driving in 2010.
“I do not have a house. I sleep inside the motor garage at night. My wife and child are in the village.”
Vanguard learned that the case is currently being investigated at the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Yaba Lagos.

Cabinet members this afternoon applauded Pres. Jonathan as he marked his 5th year as a Substantive President at the Federal Executive Council today May 6th. President Jonathan disrupted the order of the meeting immediately after the first stanza of the National anthem by calling on the council members to pray for someone whose birthday it was today.
“Today, we will not say the national prayer. Somebody is celebrating birthday so we will offer special prayers for him. Two very Godly people will pray, Nebo and Yuguda. Do you know the person?” When they could not answer, he said: “On May 6, exactly five years today, I was sworn-in as substantive President.”
The surprised cabinet members immediately broke into a round of applause. More pics after the cut

According to reports, this model and actress snubbed her mum's deathbed plea for reconciliation and instead flashed her boobs on a raunchy TV show. Oana Zavoranu opted to wear a see-through dress on Romanian TV despite having been told her mother was just moments from death.
The controversial star had been told that her mum Marioara was about to die by reporters, but she shocked them when she simply replied: "Call me when she's dead.". Her mother later died.
Miss Zavoranu, 41, fell out with her mother after the 67-year-old revealed she was unhappy about her daughter's relationships and how she was upset with her daughter speaking about gypsy fortune-tellers.
The deeply religious mother felt it contradicted her Christian upbringing and the two barely spoke.
Miss Zavoranu's reputation only worsened after she made international headlines recently when it was alleged she had tried to blackmail a doctor into giving her a free boob job also had a very public falling out with her elderly mother.
The row could have been easily settled after Marioara announced publicly that she held no grudges and wanted to still see her daughter, but Oana made it very clear that she wanted nothing to do with the older woman.
Marioara (pictured above), who according to medics was at the end in considerable pain, has however left a last message for her child on TV saying that she forgives her.
She said: "I am not doing this because I want to cause any problems, I want her to know that I love her and I want to find peace with her.
"I forgave Oana a long time ago. If God has any reason to find fault with her based on anything she may have done with me, then I ask him not to hold it against her because I don't.
"I love her and forgave her everything the moment she was born. My one final wish is that God may help us see each-other in good spirits in another life."
To prove the point, Marioara’s fortune, mainly inherited from a man that she married after Oana's natural father died and which is estimated to be worth around £47million, will all be left to Oana. The various investments include a private cemetery.
Asked if she had considered changing her will Marioara said: "I only have one heir. How can I leave the money to anyone else but Oana? I’ve got a few stores, a warehouse and a few other things. It is all for her."
The last time they spoke was in front of TV cameras when Oana had turned up at the hospital and had asked about her inheritance, and her mother had asked if she would stop treating her like a stranger.
The appeal fell on deaf ears, and instead Oana had gone to a popular TV show dressed in the white transparent dress, where she showed her boobs to prove that she is proud of her body at the age of 41 and that her breasts looked good after her seventh boob job.
Moreover, confronted with local fashion designer and critique Iulia Albu, Oana tried to mock her by wearing an extravagant but funny hat and taking off her panties.
Hours later, at 9.30am, Marioara Zavoranu died. She only had one kidney and had been kept alive through medical devices for the past few days hoping for a deathbed reconciliation that never happened.

This family can't be that crazy na. First they said Kendall had an affair with Scott Disick, now it's Kris Jenner and Khloe's ex, Lamar Odom? C'mon! Below is what US Star magazine is reporting
The alleged incident is said to have taken place in the Spring of 2014, a few months after Khloe, 30, had filed for divorce against Lamar.
He was in a "dark place" at the time, after being publicly shamed for cheating on Khloe and for secretly doing drugs, including crack, which led to the demise of his basketball career.
Kris knew how to get in touch with Mara - and how to do it without Khloe knowing. She had been reaching out to him to lend her support for a long time." the source says.
"Lamar never responded to her, until out of the blue, he suddenly agreed to meet her. He was feeling alone, and she offered him a shoulder to cry on . . . [and] one thing led to another," the source claims to have heard.
It was 59 year old Kris, the insider claims, who apparently took their relationship to the next level. "She's relentless and doesn't know when to stop," says the source. Lamar, on the other hand, "realized he'd made a mistake the minute it happened." But despite Lamar's regret over the fling, he and Kris may have continued their affair for two months.

Is this why he refused to show off his cheque? Floyd Mayweather's baby mama wants a chunk of his $100m win and is suing the boxing champion for a whooping $20m.According to TMZ
Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass.
Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident.
Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail.
Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating.
Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale. Her lawyer, Dan Friedlander, writes in the lawsuit -- Floyd's lies to Couric "were knowingly fabricated in order to hype Mayweather's upcoming fight with Pacquiao, to avoid bad press by deflecting responsibility for beating the mother of his children."
Harris wants in excess of $20 million.
Professor Wole Soyinka has said Igbos vote with their stomachs.While delivering a lecture titled ‘Predicting Nigeria, Electoral Ironies’ at the Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African & African American Research, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.Acording to the Cable.ng,he said on April 29, 2015
“The Igbos are probably the only group of Nigerians that you can predict with great accuracy whom they will vote for in an election, because they tend to put their votes where their stomachs take them; suffering as it were, from incurable money-mindedness, as they would stop at nothing in their quest for personal financial gain,”
On Buhari, he said
Muhammadu Buhari was the better of the two evils as the incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan had been an unmitigated disaster and failure. It was a painful decision to tell people to vote Buhari, but the country needed a new beginning. I was more against Jonathan, than I was pro-Buhari,”
There was pandemonium at the Iguodala Primary School in the Uhunduhun Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State after pupils stumbled on a fresh ‘grave’ in one of their classrooms.The incident was said to have happened shortly after the morning assembly on Monday.
The pupils and their teachers were said to have raised the alarm and raced to the school gate on sighting the ‘grave’ which had blood sprinkled on it.
The Head Teacher, Georginia Ilongwo,who later alerted the Esigie Police Division to the incident, described it as “shocking.”
“After the pupils and teachers raised the alarm, people around trooped into the school premises. I informed the Odionwere community leaders, the Ministry of Education, the Nigeria Union of Teachers and the Parent-Teacher Association. All of them advised that we call the police.
“When policemen came, they said they would assess the scene today (Tuesday). We were all surprised because since I started teaching here, I have never experienced such a thing.”
According to Punch,she added that many parents did not allow their children to attend the school on Tuesday because of the incident.
When our correspondent visited the school, the ‘grave’ still looked freshly dug. A pair of knickers and a T-shirt were seen on the floor of the classroom.
Some policemen said they suspected that something or someone was buried in the grave.
They added that they kept watch until some cemetery workers from the council came at about 11.40am.The men were, however, stopped from further digging of the ‘grave’ by some health officials after they dug three feet into the ground.
The officials said there was no sign that a corpse had been buried at the site.
A Deputy Director in the Health and Environment Department of the council, Mr. Sylvester Usoboh, said,
“We have removed the earth that was dug and got to the stronger part, an indication that no further digging was done, and nothing was found.Maybe the police may investigate further; but we did not find anything.”
The Divisional Police Officer, CSP Akeke Eni, also allayed the fear of the community that the remains of an unknown person could have been buried in the school.
“It is an empty ‘grave’. It was initially suspected to contain something, but we have discovered that there is nothing inside.”

According to UK Mirror, Sylvie, who was lured to the man's apartment in Nice, France, said he suggested a darkened room and a blindfold for a kinky thrill.When she arrived and covered her eyes she got into bed with the man, who she thought was handsome, with brown hair and blue eyes.She was stunned when she flicked the light on after sex to see a much older man.
She said: "He was a balding man of about 65, who was quite wrinkly and wore glasses - I was absolutely disgusted."
When she told police they found her testimony matched three other women's.When they raided his flat they discovered he had tried the same subterfuge on 342 women across the country.
A second victim was quoted as saying:
"He didn't want me to take off the blindfold. When I insisted, he got angry. I ended up seeing his silhouette in the dark. He was old, pot-bellied with a big nose."
After he was arrested he told police that he had the woman's consent to the sex and couldn't see what he'd done wrong.

The father of a 26-year-old pregnant woman, who was murdered in the Arepo area of Ogun State last week, has blamed President Goodluck Jonathan for the incident.
Mr. Babafemi Ojo, whose daughter Damilola Fajana, was killed on April 28, said this in a statement on Monday.
Ojo explained that his daughter was killed by a stray bullet during a gun battle between the members of the Odua Peoples Congress and pipeline vandals.
He said it was unfortunate that Jonathan could hire the services of the OPC and award the group a huge contract just because he wanted to win an election.
The bereaved father wondered why men who were not trained professionals were allowed to secure government facilities in residential areas.
He said,
“The unconstitutional empowerment of ethnic militias has resulted in the deaths of many innocent Nigerians, particularly in Arepo area of Ogun State.
“My daughter was killed in a crossfire while driving back home after a hard day’s job. Damilola was a 26 year old pregnant lawyer. She was a graduate of the University of Ado Ekiti.President Jonathan is linked to her death by the reason of his patronage of people who have no basic training in arms and weaponry —in the business of pipeline protection, a very dangerous security enterprise which is supposed to fall under the purview of trained Nigerian security agencies.”

Mrs Christabel Nwaogbue, what could give her a sigh of relief is for the Rivers State Police Command arresting the killers of her husband, Chuwuma and getting justice. The Delta State-born businessman was murdered during this year’s Easter over three plots of land.
Christabel is urging the Acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Solomon Arase to order the state command to arrest the killers. Chukwuma and his friend were shot and butchered before they were buried in shallow graves by their killers.
Christabel, who gave an insight on how Chukwuma was killed in Aruma Rumuekini town in Obio Akpor Local Government Area said:
“My husband’s sin was that he bought three plots of land in the place. The land was sold to him by one Samuel.
“He bought the plots of land about three weeks before his death. He told me that he had done investigation and Samuel told him that deal was okay and they were not in dispute.
“So, on Good Friday, my husband told me that he was taking a friend to the plots so that the friend could start farming there till he decides on what to do on the land.
“Anyway, I tried to convince him not to go to until after Easter, but the friend I don’t even know his name, kept calling him on phone, so, he left in his Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
“Actually, I did not have a premonition that danger was lurking around, but my instinct was telling me that he should have waited till after Easter. Well, when I waited for him and he did not come back home, I was worried but I thought maybe he was too busy. Well, I later received a devastating phone call from a police officer who told me to come to the station.
“In fact, I was devastated when the police took me to the place where they executed my husband like a common criminal. I saw him and another lifeless body that I suspect may be that of his friend in the booth of his car.
“I needed no doctor to tell me that my husband was brutally butchered. I passed out on seeing his corpse. I later regained consciousness. I was briefed by a senior police officer that my husband was killed in company with his friend and that they were exhumed from shallow graves on the land.
“The police officer told me that it was Samuel who sold the land to my husband that called the police attention to the shallow graves. The question that I am asking is, why was it that the person who sold the land to my husband was the first person to know that my husband and another man were killed and buried in shallow graves? Let him tell the police who he suspected that was responsible for my husband’s death since he assured my husband that the land was not in dispute. He should be questioned,” Mrs Nwaogbue said.
According to the widow, the man that was killed alongside her husband died without anybody tracing his background.
“The family would have been looking for him. No one knows his identity.
“I want to appeal to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) Zone 6, Mr. Tunde Ogunsakin to use his good office to bring the killers of my husband to book. It is only when this is done that his soul would have rest. His spirit is still very angry,” she said.
Mother of the deceased, who is also a widow, Patience Nwaogbue, is also asking AIG Ogunsakin to fish out the killers of her son.
“My son was killed like a common criminal. I was told that he was shot and butchered with sharp objects. What was his offence? Just because he bought three plots of land. I am sure that if the police investigate the matter, they will discover that many people would have fallen victims just like my son and his friend.
“I am sure that the land was used by the owner as a bait to deceive prospective buyers and thereafter do away with them,” she noted.

Hundreds of returning male students of the Federal University, Otuoke in Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa State were Sunday stranded as they were shut out of their hostels by the landlord over alleged inability of the school and state government to pay twenty -four million Naira for two years rent.
When our correspondent visited on Monday, the 52 bedroom apartments which housed more than half of the school male population was bereft of the normal student activities but the porter and the school Dean of Student Life, Dr. Marcellina Offoha, was seen packing out some of the belongings out of the hostel as the landlord lay in wait to put a lock on the gate.
Speaking with our correspondent, the landlord who brandished a letter from his solicitors, Stream Solicitors, based in Yenagoa, said he was tired of the antics of the state government, who has failed to honour the agreement to pay him annually for the rented apartment.
He said he had made several efforts to get the issue resolved amicably but all his efforts were thwarted by the Bayelsa state government who were the tenant and the school authorities who occupies the apartment.
According to the landlord,
“I am evicting the university, they are my tenants, they are owing due to the negligence from the state government, they are owing me for two years, I have given them quit notice and I hope they are quitting.
