A photo from D’Banj’s 10th year anniversary in Lagos last month just emerged and is buzzing on social media. The photo shows Banga Lee performing a stage with a female fan appearing to be giving me ‘head’ while he is on stage.
The female fan looked to have her tongue out from the angle the photo was taken with D’Banj having no problem with the part of his body she is reaching for – afterall he is the Koko Master.
This is not the first time the DB Records chief will be getting raunchy on stage with his female fans, no wonder they love him so much. In other related news, D’Banj was on set with his artiste, Tonto Dikeh for a video shoot earlier today. They shot the video for Sugar Rush. Peep set photos here

Mayhem in Lagos: Four Killed, 27 Vehicles Destroyed in Gang War (Photos)
Pandemonium broke out in the Mosafejo, Oshodi-Isale area of Lagos State, after rival groups said to be members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, clashed on Tuesday evening and early Wednesday.
Four people were reportedly killed, while several others were injured in the fracas which was stopped after the intervention of security agencies.
PUNCH Metro gathered that no fewer than 15 commercial buses were set on fire, while 12 others were vandalized. Makeshift stalls in the Mosafejo Motor Park were also torched, leaving traders in the park mourning their losses.
When PUNCH Metro visited the scene of the incident on Wednesday, the atmosphere was still tense as men of the Nigeria Police Force and some soldiers were observed patrolling the area. The motor park, usually filled with vehicles, was deserted as the police armor tanks and patrol vans took over the space.
Broken bottles, shards of glass from shattered windscreens and pebbles, said to have been deployed by some of the hoodlums during the fight, littered the road. Bloodstains dotted the Oshodi Roundabout, where a man was said to have been shot dead and his corpse taken away by the police. A vehicle was still burning as of 1pm when our correspondent passed the area.
Around the same time, a police van manned by police officers was observed by our correspondent taking some teenagers away.
A source told PUNCH Metro that the fight involved three groups ─ Big London boys, Railway boys and Under-bridge boys.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the fight started after the police ordered that there should be a stop in hemp smoking in the motor park.
The move was said to have been supported by the Big London boys, which brought them in conflict with the Railway and Under-bridge gangs who saw them as an ally of the police.
She said,:
“That was the beginning of the fight. The Railway boys and the Under-bridge boys usually conspire to wage war against the Big London boys which also had Olu Omo as a leading member.
Yesterday (Tuesday), the allied gangs struck again and killed four people. One particularly was popular here and we call him Afari. A man was shot in the eye, another in the hand and leg. Several others are in critical conditions in hospitals.” Another witness, who did not identify herself, said one Idris was cut with machete in the buttocks, leg and hand.
“No one knows if he will survive the attack because his condition is critical,” she said. When PUNCH Metro crossed over to the area where the Under-bridge and Railway groups had their camp, he met some of the men who alleged that the fight was sponsored by the Big London gang.
“It was around 11pm on Tuesday that they came here. They were many in the Big London group. They had the police backing them and they want to drive us away from here. They descended on our vehicles and set many of them ablaze which you can see for yourself.
They shot and injured three of our people, who have been rushed to hospital. We don’t know why they are after us and this fight could have been bloodier, but we decided to be calm,” a man in the group, who did not identify himself, said. Another member of the group, who equally declined identification, showed our correspondent an injury he sustained in his hand.
He said, “They shot at so many of us. This was where I was shot. Those guys were many. They shot at about 100 of us and burnt many buses.”
Some of the traders, whose stalls were burnt, appealed for government’s intervention. Mrs. Taiwo Olajide, a mother of three and dealer in soft drinks, said she lost all her goods to the violence.
She said, “The hoodlums set fire on all the stalls in this park. They have ruined our business. This is where I feed my children and keep body and soul together.”
Another trader, Mrs. Josephine Eze, said all her provisions were burnt.
Our correspondent also observed a cross-section of traders who were seated in front of their shops, which were not affected by the fracas.
They lamented that they had not been able to operate their business since the area was cordoned off by the police.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, while confirming the incident, said one person was killed, adding that the police recovered some weapons from the hoodlums.
He said:
“There was an attempt to breach the peace at Oshodi. The hoodlums, who were rival members of the NURTW, engaged in a fight of supremacy over control of parks. In the process, about eight vehicles were burnt and 10 vandalised. One person was killed. Five cutlasses and four expended cartridges were recovered. Normalcy has been restored as adequate security has been made to avert any further breach of the peace.” Nwosu added that the police arrested nine suspects in connection with the crime.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Lagos State Council of the NURTW, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, has said the union will unravel the cause of incessant violent clashes in Oshodi.

BUHARI IN LONDON
Pictured above are General Buhari and Mal Mamman Daura taking a stroll on the streets of London.
APC says Buhari travelled out of the country on Thursday, February 19, for a ‘brief working visit’, however, according to Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, Gen Buhari traveled out on Thursday to seek medicare in UK and he was attended to at a hospital located in Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London on Friday. Read the statement he just released when you continue.
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said that the APC presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) who travelled to the United Kingdom (UK) for medical treatment is being attended to at a London hospital, describing the medical trip as a vindication of his earlier stand that Buhari was sick and lacked the required capacity to rule Nigeria.
He said; "as against the claim of the APC that Bihari was on a short working visit to the UK, Buhari is being treated at a hospital located at Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London."
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor described claim by the APC that Buhari will give a talk at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, London as "deceit taken too far."
He said; "The event listed on Royal Institute of International Affairs website; http:// www.chathamhouse.org/events to hold on February 23 and 24 is; 'Security and Defence: Rising powers and the future of defence cooperation' and Buhari’s name is not listed among the speakers.
"For the avoidance of doubt; the event's keynote speakers are; former Brazil Minister of Defence, Celsius Amorin; UK Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister of Defence Equipment Support and Technology, Celsius Amorin; Chief of the Defence Staff, UK Ministry of Defence, General Sir Nicholas Houghton; Chief Executive of BAE System, Ian King and Secretary General, Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Dr Abdulatif Bin Rashid Al Zayani.
"Apart from the above listed five persons, 25 others are listed as speakers.
"So, in which Royal Institute of International Affairs' event is Buhari participating as a speaker?
"This is not to mock Buhari or which him death. Rather, it is to expose the falsehood of the APC and desperation of its leaders, especially Senator Bola Tinubu to foist another Yar’Adua saga on Nigeria."
The governor maintained; "The truth is that Buhari travelled out on Thursday to seek medicare in UK and he was attended to at a hospital located in Cavendish Street, Cavendish Square, W2 London West End, London on Friday.
"If the APC people are saying otherwise, let them publish the picture of Buhari boarding the plane and granting interview to Aviation Correspondents at the Abuja Airport.
"While I am happy that the APC people that are packaging Buhari finally hearkened to my plea that they should allow him (Buhari) to seek medicare abroad, I must say that it is unpatriotic for the APC to have lied that Buhari travelled on a working visit.
"The party should be honest enough to tell Nigerians that Buhari is actually sick and lack capacity to rule Nigeria and that they are only packaging him, hoping that he will become incapacitated if he becomes president so that they can take over power by proxy.

President Jonathan Aides Secretly File 5 More Cases To Stop Buhari and INEC, Totaling 10
President Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari and INECThe number of cases filed by President Goodluck Jonathan aiming to abort the 2015 election has increased to 10, according to SaharaReporters investigations.
Of this number, three are targeted at stopping the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from conducting the elections.
One of the latest cases was filed directly by the Attorney General of Plateau State and 28 others, seeking an order of the Federal High Court to prevent INEC from using the electoral register recently updated using Personal Voter Cards. The suit, titled Plateau State Government & 28 others V INEC, wants the commission to use the same voter register that was used in 2011.
Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang, is President Jonathan’s Man Friday who heads the President’s faction of the Nigeria Governors Forum.
Other cases were filed by:
Selekaye Victor Ben, and targets the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress party, Muhammad Buhari and the Nigerian Army. Filed on February 11, the case seeks an order of the court to strip Buhari of all military entitlements and another order that would put Buhari under arrest.
“Presidential View and Endorsement Platform”, led by one Barrister Smart Iheazor, combines both Buhari and INEC. It contends that Buhari’s name on the West African School Certificate certificate recently released by his school in Katsina is different from his current name.
Sergin Onuka Ibe, accusing Buhari of filing a false deposition with INEC; he seeks an order barring INEC and the APC from fielding Buhari as candidate in the 2015 election.
An unspecified litigant, who accuses Buhari of being in possession of a false party card in which he claims to be a “civil servant”.
Barrister Friday Ojealaro, claiming that Buhari is not clear and unambiguous, and should be disqualified;
Shield Jones Ufot V Buhari, filing a criminal complaint against Buhari before a Magistrate court in Abuja
Chukwunweike Okafor, against Buhari, APC and INEC, arguing that Buhari be disqualified and APC name struck out from partaking in the general election.
“Society for Advancement And Protection of Public Rights”, which asks the court to disallow the use of card readers and nullify the ongoing continuous voter registration; and
Philip Agbese against INEC, seeking postponement of the the elections until PVCs are provided to all registered voters.
SaharaReporters has further learnt that these cases were mostly assigned to one Justice Adeniyi Ademola at the Federal High Court in Abuja. It is unclear why all the cases have been handed to one judge, but Justice Ademola is believed to be working hand in hand with President Jonathan to spring a surprise.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the same court had earlier received some of the cases but our sources said the President’s men wrote a petition against him.

CBN's New Policy On Dormant Bank Accounts
Nigeria’s apex bank, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has introduced new guidelines for the treatment and management of dormant accounts by commercial banks.
According to Punch, the objectives of the policy is to ensure that dormant account funds are identified and channeled through appropriate institutions to make them more productive to the economy and eliminate the possibility of banks converting dormant account balances to income.
In a circular released and signed by the CBN’s Director, Financial Policy and Regulation Department, Mr. Kevin Amugo yesterday, the regulatory bank stated that the absence of clear guidelines for the management of dormant accounts had resulted in the disproportionate treatment of such account balances by deposit-taking financial institutions.
The circular read,
With the new policy, three months to the end of the six years, both the account holder and the next-of-kin would be notified, then, the re-validation of inactive/dormant accounts would not attract any charge to the account holder as the banks would have made ample use of the idle funds.

The circular read,
“It is in view of the above and the imperative to promote transparency in the financial system that the CBN hereby issues these guidelines to provide a standard for the treatment and management of dormant account balances in Nigeria.
“The purpose of the policy is to curb possible abuse in the operation of dormant accounts, set operational standards for banks and other financial institutions in line with best practice, and to reinforce the property rights as guaranteed in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
“A dormant account shall be a bank account that has no customer or depositor originated transaction within a specified period of six years after the last customer or depositor initiated a transaction. However, such an account shall be recognised as inactive after the first six months of non-depositor or customer originated transaction in it.”
The CBN further said, “Accounts shall retain their interest earning status during the period of dormancy in the bank. Deposit-taking financial institutions shall continue to monitor accounts that show tendencies of inactivity and where necessary, initiate actions for their activation or protection from wrong usage.
“Once dormant accounts exceed a six-year period, they shall be reported to the CBN along with efforts made by the obligor bank to locate the owners or their personal representatives.”
With the new policy, three months to the end of the six years, both the account holder and the next-of-kin would be notified, then, the re-validation of inactive/dormant accounts would not attract any charge to the account holder as the banks would have made ample use of the idle funds.
The statement said,
“Dormant account balances shall continue to be reflected in the books of banks as deposit liabilities until they are eventually withdrawn by the account holders or disposed of on their instructions. Dormant account balances shall, therefore, be regarded as deposits and shall be covered by deposit insurance.
“In the case of government-owned inactive/dormant accounts, banks shall notify the relevant government agency of their existence, with periodic returns of such notification sent to Banking Supervision Department. Banks are also required to turn over the funds to the concerned treasury after six years of inactivity.
“The provisions of the guidelines shall take immediate effect. Sanctions for contravention of the provisions of the guidelines shall be imposed under Section 60 of the BOFIA (1991) as amended,” the CBN said.

‘Spiritual attack forced my son into robbery - Mother(Photo)
A middle- aged mother of four sent shock waves into the the spines of police detectives in Lagos recently, when, on seeing her first son being paraded as a suspected armed robber, she broke down and started crying out loud, telling everybody that cared to listen that his son could not have, ordinarily, done any bad thing.
According to her,
‘’He went into robbery after having spiritual attack. As a mother, I have done all I could to make sure that Taiwo becomes useful to himself. After his father died, I tried my best with the little I had to ensure that he completed his secondary school education.After that, I enrolled him in a printing outfit as an apprentice. He was attached to his boss for about a year and six months when he stopped. That was when I began to notice these despicable behaviours of his.
‘’I started with prayers, no result. I took him to various native doctors and prayer homes for deliverance yet, nothing changed. Rather, he got worse by the day. He has not always been like this, which is why I strongly believe this is the work of the enemy to render my son useless in life. I have never collected anything from him because I know the source of anything that comes through him is not clean. Even when he buys a gift for me, I reject it because I am strongly against his way of life. ‘’
Confessing to the crime, Taiwo Oluwole said:
"I am an armed robber and I have participated in several robbery operations. I started out as a pick-pocket, later I started breaking into people’s houses and stealing their valuables. Thereafter I graduated into full-fledged armed robbery two years ago. I bought the gun from Segun Ogunlodo. He sold the gun to me for N18, 000.
"I really can’t explain why or how I went into robbery, because after my secondary education, I went to learn printing for a year and six months but I didn’t complete my apprenticeship.
Completion of apprenticeshipI can’t explain why I stopped, because there was no reason. I later became a labourer. I strongly believe that it was a spiritual attack that led me into armed robbery.“My mother has taken me to several churches, prayer houses and native doctors for deliverance yet nothing changed. I plead with the government to tender justice with mercy, I promise not to continue in my old ways once I come out of this alive,’’ he stated amidst tears.
Other suspects speak
‘’I was arrested at Mushin area, and about six phones were recovered from me. I bought the stolen phones from Taiwo. I knew they were stolen items. I started buying and selling stolen items like phones and laptops from guys like Taiwo since 2011. I was arrested after Taiwo was caught. In his defence, 26-year-old Segun Ogunlodo, aka Sangbere, said he was arrested because he sold a gun to Taiwo as he had no need for it. I got the gun from my brother who is currently serving a jail term in a Cotonou prison for armed robbery related crimes.’’Source-Vanguard

Naval officer, brother land in Police net over alleged killing of airport worker
A Naval officer, Ifeanyi Chukwu, of the Nigerian Navy Command, Apapa, Lagos, is currently undergoing investigation over an assault that led to the death of a staff of Dowutas Trolley Service at the General Aviation Terminal 1, GAT, of the domestic wing of Murtala Muhammed Airport last Sunday.
Eye witnesses said the naval officer and his brother drove into the drop zone of the departure hall of the GAT at about 6a.m and parked his silver coloured SUV at the portion designated for dropping off passengers while they both escorted their mother, who was travelling out of Lagos into the terminal.
Vanguard reports that on return, they met the SUV tyres locked by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, concessionaire responsible for towing vehicles perceived to have been parked illegally or indiscriminately within the airport environment.
An eye witness said Chukwu and his brother were furious at the action, claiming the late trolley service provider; Mr. Yusuf Mohammed, had asked them to park the car in the drop zone.
It was learned that Yusuf advised both men not to leave the vehicle for more than a few minutes, otherwise it would be removed.
In the ensuing argument, Ifeanyi Chukwu’s brother was said to have punched Yusuf directly in the face and it was in the process of Yusuf falling that the naval officer himself (Ifeanyi Chukwu) cleared his feet off the floor and Yusuf fell with the back of his skull on paved floor and started bleeding profusely.
The enraged Chukwu, according to the witness, quickly rushed to raise the deceased’s head from the floor while blood gushed out of his head and shouted for help.
The deceased was taken to FAAN clinic, beside the terminal, to receive first aid treatment and referred to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, where he was pronounced dead at about 12 noon. Another witness who pleaded anonymity said when the tensed officer noticed the turn of events, he informed his naval base in Apapa.
Chukwu’s brother was said to have been picked up by airport police command and the case transfered to the Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, while the car is currently parked at the police station at the local airport.
When reporters called Chukwu Ifeanyi yesterday, he acknowledged the incident took place and referred them to a female officer who is the Public Relation Officer of the command, who said the command was investigating the matter.
She also said the naval authorities was reaching out to the deceased family.

Obasanjo tearing his PDP card was painful and insulting- FFK
Spokesperson of the PDP Presidential campaign organization, Fani-Kayode says former president Obasanjo asking someone to tear his PDP membership card while he stood there and watched was painful and tragic and a spit on the face of the PDP. He said this in a statement released in Abuja today. Part of the statement below ..
"Watching our party membership card being torn up whilst President Obasanjo was standing there and smiling was painful and tragic. This is a party which he helped to build and on whose platform he was elected president for eight good years. The truth is that President Obasanjo is far better and far bigger than that. Such behaviour is provocative and unacceptable. He is free to leave the party but does he have to spit in our faces by tearing up our party card in public and before the television cameras? This knee-jerk reaction is most unlike President Obasanjo and it is very insulting.
It is clear that he has burnt all the bridges and that he has left us forever. On a personal note, I feel saddened by this but the truth is that many in our party have heaved a huge sigh of relief. Many of us love President Obasanjo and we shall continue to do so regardless of whether he is in our party or not, but tearing up that party card was too much to bear. It spoke volumes and it was indicative of the deep hatred and contempt that he has for us and our cause. It reminded me of the biblical passage in which King Saul rejected David and then planned to stop him from ascending to the throne by attempting to kill and destroy him. Thankfully the Lord was with David and not only did he deliver him from Saul, he also crowned him King.” the statement read

Jonathan’s Aide Insulted Nigerians After Being Disgraced At Aso Rock: Read What He Posted This Morning On Facebook That Caused Uproar
The senior special assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on public affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe,Just when many were probably asleep, the senior special assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on public affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, took to his Facebook page in the early hours of this morning, February 11, to create a big drama.
Dr Okupe caused a big uproar on Facebook when he described the activities going on on social media concerning the 2015 elections, as “political masturbation”.
Dr Okupe said; “People talk on facebook and twitter as if the elections will be decided here. What goes on here is nothing but political masturbation. The actual voting takes place in the real world.
There are about 13m and 4.5m Nigerians on facebook and Twitter respectively. On the average because of multiple presence we can assume a number of 15m. 50% or 7.5m are not registered. Out of the remaining 7.5m another 50% will not vote. So we are looking at about a max of 3.75m voters from these platforms.
The projected voters for this election is expected to be about 52/55m. Therefore contributions from these two platforms is about 5/6%. Please be humble here and stop playing God.
I was on a national radio program at the weekend. For about 35mins 100% of contributors from all over the country were supportive of President Jonathan.
I have an independent poll report from the SW the result is adtonishing. 60% of over 18000 participant prefered Jonathan to Buhari.

Photos: Moment Nigerian man & his bride are arrested in the UK for sham marriage
This is the moment a Nigerian man and his bride were handcuffed by immigration police in the UK, just moments before their sham wedding ceremony. The suspicious registrar had alerted police after the couple couldn't spell each others names before the ceremony began. She also noticed the man reading details about his bride-to-be from the back of his hand. Lol.
The man is 33 year old Joseph Iwueke, and his bride-that-never was is 29 year old Slovakian Ingrida Stojkova. He was going to marry her so he could legally stay in Britain. They were busted by police and were charged with conspiracy.
Iwueke, Stojkova and two others, Obinna Odelugo, Robert Stojka who fixed the wedding have now been jailed for conspiracy to facilitate a breach of UK immigration law. See more pics after the cut...
