Jonathan Is Responsible For Ongoing Fuel Scarcity – Lai Mohammed

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, has declared that Nigerians are now paying for the sins of the past government.

He said the Jonathan government owed oil marketers ‎huge debts in oil subsidy payments, such that they have stopped importing the product in the last couple of months, hence the biting scarcity.

Asked by State House correspondents to explain the scarcity to the nation, Lai said: “What I will be telling Nigerians is that what we met on ground is such that we are paying for the sins of the last administration”.

“I am being very serious. You remember that about two weeks ago, we had to go to the National Assembly for a supplementary budget of N674 billion. Of that figure, N522billion was for arrears of fuel subsidy which was incurred as far back as August last year”.

“One of the reasons for the fuel scarcity was the inability of the last government to make adequate provision for fuel subsidy”.

“We do face some other logistic problems but majorly, we are paying for the sins of the last administration”.


Asked what the solution the government was now proffering, the Minister said:“The first thing we have done now is to make sure that unlike before when the marketers used to import the major percentage of the fuel, NNPC has been involved in importation”.

“This is because some of the marketers had stopped importing for a couple of months. If you see any fuel anywhere today, it is imported by the NNPC”.

“We also inherited the vandalisation of the pipelines which has made it impossible for us to even transport the fuel. In tanks today we have 14 days reserve and off tank we have 10 days reserve”.

“The issue is not non-availability of the product; it is the distribution because of pipelines that have been vandalised and the gridlock in Lagos”.

“It takes about five days for anybody to take fuel with tanker in Lagos. As at two days ago this matter has been resolved. The Mosinmi pipeline has been secured and it has led to the improvement in the distribution.

How Soldiers Brutally Killed 3 Of My Brothers In My Father’s Presence –Only Surviving Son

Muhammad Ibraheem Zakzaky, the only surviving son of the the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky has said that the army killed three of his siblings during last week’s onslaught at their residence in Zaria.

Ibraheem said that his three brothers namely, Hammad, 17, Ali 15 and Humaid, 13- were all shot dead in front of their father during the raid by the military last week Sunday.

His revelation came as the Islamic Movement in Nigeria yesterday said that it’s members would continue with its peaceful protests over the killing of its members by soldiers during a recent carnage in Zaria, Kaduna State.

In a statement made available to journalists last night, Ibraheem recalled that earlier in June 2014, the military abducted and killed his three brothers after a peaceful pro-Palestinian procession. Those killed at that time were Ahmad, 22, a final year student of Chemical Engineering in Shenyang University, China; Hameed, 20, who was studyingAeronautical Engineering in Xian University, China and Mahmud, 18, who was a student of Al-Mustapha University, Beirut, Lebanon.

He said that of his eight siblings, only two –Nusaiba and Suhaila, are alive today, while the remaining six were slain by the army. According to him, Suhaila survived with wounds in her face.


The statement read in part : “Thank God, I have been able to finally speak to my sister (Suhaila) after seven days of terror, compliments of the Nigerian army.

“They have been released from the ordeal of being with an army that is supposed to protect them. But I call to all those who care that, we must continue with our peaceful protests, however and whenever we can. Just as we have been doing for over the last 30 years, and as long as we breathe, I hope that we will continue to do so.”

The cleric’s only surviving son said that “we will continue to protest in order to demand our right tobury our dead properly, to tend to our wounded and to see to the health of our leader, my father.”

“Then comes our property which has either been destroyed or fenced by looters under the watch of the Nigerian army. He said: “I will continue to demand unbiased, impartial justice, for my six brothers, for as long as I breathe.”

Zakzaky’s elder sister, Hajiya Fatima Yaqoub, was among those killed in the cleric’s residence

Boko Haram Now Lures People Together to Bomb Them- Defence Headquarters

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ), has warned members of the public that the Boko Haram terrorists have now devised a deadly tactic of luring people together in order to bomb them.

This was disclosed on Monday in a statement signed by the Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brig-Gen. Rabe Abubakar.

“It has come to the knowledge of the DHQ that Boko Haram terrorists have now devised other means of inflicting harm on innocent citizens to further their terrorist cause,” Abubakar stated.

He said that some of such tactics they now, use include crying and feigning pains and shouting to attract sympathy from unsuspecting public.

“When a lot of people of goodwill gather to render help in the process, the suicide bomber detonates bombs which they conceal under their clothes. The recent suicide bombing in Damaturu is instructive,” he explained.

Similarly, he said, suicide bombers used monetary incentives and other inducements especially in crowded places to lure innocent citizens in order to cause colossal damage to both lives and property.
