Fresh off his 2012 MOBO Awards success where he was named ‘Best African Act’ for his song, ‘Oliver Twist’, Dapo Oyebanjo popularly called Dbanj will perform at this year’s music concert, TOP10MICS for one hour with a live band as the concert holds at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island , Lagos on Friday, November 30, 2012.
Before now, most artistes perform to a CD and a skeletal band but the major highlights at this year’s music concert would be live performances from headlining acts; Tuface Idibia, Femi Kuti and Sir Shina Peters.
Producer of this year’s TOP10MICS, Omoh Talabi, and the face behind many flourishing concerts in Nigeria will be working closely with the Kokomaster at Koga Studios as the MOBO winner prepares for this memorable concert that has been tipped by many as the mother of all shows.
The concert will also feature performances from DJs Jimmy Jatt and Neptune, disc jockeys who know their onions in the industry. Ace comedian, Basket Mouth would host the concert, radio presenter; Yaw would also be at the concert.
The producer of the concert, Omoh Talabi has a few words to say about this year’s concert ‘I have produced many concerts but I dare say this year’s edition of TOP10MICS will be extraordinary as it promises to be an unusual concert. Like other concerts where headlining acts perform for a few minutes, TOP10MICS would be different as each artiste would perform for more than 40minutes with live bands, that is the makeup of big concerts these days’’.

Anu Awoseyi, an official of Koga gave more insight ‘Omoh came on board to further add gusto to this year’s edition, the preparation for the event is enormous judging by the preparations of the performing artistes, all in a bid to give the audience something very classy and unusual’’.

Benin Republic president's doctor and niece try to poison him

Benin Republic president’s doctor, Dr. Ibrahim Mama Cisse, his niece, Zouberatou Kora, and Benin's former Minister of Trade Moudjaidou Soumanou were a part of a failed plot to poison the president by changing his medicine with something toxic.

The doctor and the niece were said to have been promised payment of almost $2million if they succeed in killing the president. It later emerged that Benin multimillionaire businessman, Patrice Talon, was the one who hired their services. Fortunately they didn't succeed. The plot to poison the president failed after his niece told her sister about their plan. The sister then told the president.



The state prosecutor said the president's niece picked up drugs at the Cotonou airport on Friday Oct.19, and gave them to Dr. Cisse. He said the drugs from Soumanou are “drugs that the head of state usually takes but were this time substituted and replaced by toxic ingredients.” But before they could administer the drugs, they were arrested.

The doctor, niece and ex-minister have been charged with attempted murder and are currently locked up in a prison in Cotonou while there's an arrest warrant for Mr Talon

Man responsible for Arik Air bomb scare released from police custody

 

The man responsible for Arik Air bomb scare has been released from police custody. The man, identified as Aminu Galadima, is an interior decorator with a history of mental illness. Mr Galadima was released after investigators were satisfied that he had no intentions of blowing up the plane and also had no ties to any terrorist group. A statement from the SSS when you continue...

This is a brief highlight of the incident that occurred on the Arik Air flight from Maiduguri to Abuja.

On Friday, 19th October, 2012, Wife of the SSG to the Borno State Government, Hajia Yachilla JIDDA, travelled to Maiduguri in company of one Aminu S. GALADIMA, an interior decorator based in Abuja to do some interior decoration work. On arrival in Maiduguri, he was lodged at Greenland Hotel. During the course of his stay, he exhibited unusual behaviour by smashing a window, and ended up with lacerations on his hands.

The SSG was contacted, and in collaboration with the Hotel management, subject was taken to Atal Hospital, also in Maiduguri, where he received treatment. His family in Abuja was contacted and they gave confirmation that GALADIMA has been mentally unstable. In addition, his elder brother who lives in the UK was contacted and he requested that subject be returned to Abuja for medical attention.

On Sunday, 21st October, 2012, he was taken to the airport to be returned to Abuja, but missed the flight. However, the Airport management was informed of his state of health, and they advised that whenever his return is scheduled, the management should be notified. Unfortunately, when GALADIMA was taken to the Airport on 23rd October for his return trip, the management of the Airport was not informed, and 10 minutes into the flight, due to slight turbulence, his condition was triggered off. Meanwhile, GALADIMA is in the custody of security forces.
       
This clarification has become necessary to dispel the unfounded rumours concerning the flight.
