Real Reasons Sacked Governor Nyako Fled Nigeria

From Vanguard;

There was a clear indication last night that former Adamawa State Governor, Admiral Murtala Nyako, who was sacked last week, had fled the country.

A competent source confirmed to Vanguard exclusively that the governor was not in Nigeria, having left the shores shortly after he was impeached by the state House of Assembly over alleged gross misconduct.

Although the source close to Nyako claimed that the man had travelled out of Nigeria to take a deserved rest after many years on the saddle, it was learnt that the retired naval chief fled the country in a bid to avoid being harassed by security agents, who have been looking for him.

Everyone's a winner in the McIlroy family! Rory's dad wins £50,000 after placing £200 bet 10 years ago that his son would win the Open by the age of 25 (and Rory picks up a handy £975,000)

The bet was placed with remarkable prescience in 2004, when Rory was a 15-year-old prodigy. Three friends of Mr McIlroy also bet £100 each (£100 was the most that the bookie's would allow).

'The gate of hell has opened': Deadliest day yet in Gaza as Israel's tanks storm in and death toll reaches 95 - but Hamas claims to have captured Israeli soldier

At least 65 people have been killed since this morning's dawn strike on Gaza City's Shijaiyah neighbourhood - including the son, daughter-in-law and two small grandchildren of a senior Hamas leader. The neighbourhood has come under heavy tank fire as Israel widened its ground offensive against Hamas, causing hundreds of residents to flee. The dead and wounded - including dozens of women and children - have reportedly been left in streets, with ambulances unable to approach. Early this morning, the wounded from Shijaiyah were rushed to Gaza City's central Shifa Hospital. Frantic parents carried children wounded by shrapnel and the emergency room quickly overflowed, forcing doctors to treat some patients on mattresses in a hallway.

A chilling echo of Nazi death trains as piles of MH17 corpses are put into refrigerated rail carriages to begin the grimmest journey

The stench of death is thick in the air as onlookers peer inside a freight train containing the bodies of some 200 victims of the MH17 massacre. The scene, a grim echo of the mechanised slaughter of millions in the Second World War, has been created by Russian separatists who have collected piles of corpses from the plane crash and put them in refrigerated rail carriages. There was international outrage over the undignified scene last night - with swarms of flies buzzing around the train - although defiant local militia men insisted they were doing what they could for the dead.
