A mobile policeman in Bauchi state shot dead his superior and former ADC to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, Superintendent of Police, Chris Eza (pictured above), yesterday February 26th in Bauchi.

According to family sources, Chris Eza had gone out to get food at an eatery along Ahmadu Bello way around 9pm when he saw some police officers on patrol. On observation, he found out that one of them, the suspect, was not properly dressed and immediately cautioned him. The junior officer, a Corporal, got angry and began to grumble for being told to dress properly.

An angry Chris felt his action was unacceptable and warned the officer that he was going to disarm him if he didn't take care. Instead of apologizing, the junior officer cocked his gun and threatened to shoot his boss.

He told Eza that if he came close to him, he would shoot. Calling his bluff, Eza moved towards the officer, who immediately opened fire. Other officers around rushed Chris to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) Bauchi where he was declared dead on arrival. Until his death, he was the MOPOL 11 Commander.

The officer has since been arrested and investigations into the motive for the killing is ongoing.

“He [Demichelis] put his hand on my throat,” Suarez explained to Uruguayan radio station Sport 890."
“I do not understand why they [the English media] want to do this. They want to make trouble for me. They must be hurt after what I did to them in the World Cup but they forget that I played in England and they should show me some respect.”

Liverpool target Porto defender

iamwizdom 3:14 pm

Liverpool will need to beat off interest from Manchester United to land Porto's Brazilian defender Danilo in the summer transfer window.

The Mirror report that Danilo is being chased by arch-rivals Liverpool and Manchester United.
The 23-year-old defender has reportedly turned down the chance to extend his stay at Porto, which has sparked a race for his signature.
Both English clubs are desperate to bolster their options at right-back with Liverpool's Glen Johnson yet to agree to stay at the club beyond the current season.
Danilo has 11 national caps to his name and has already featured 23 times for Porto this season.
The Brazilian arrived at Porto for €13 million in January 2012.

United after ex-Blues midfielder?

iamwizdom 3:06 pm

Reports have emerged linking Manchester United with a £30 million bid for an ex-Chelsea midfielder.

The Daily Express report that Kevin De Bruyne is wanted by Manchester United.
The 23-year-old playmaker left Chelsea in the January 2014 transfer window but could be making a return to England's top-flight after the player revealed "my biggest ambition is to come out for a big European club. One I can win trophies with. As much trophies as possible."
De Bruyne is having a stellar season and admits he is happy to stay at Wolfsburg but it would appear that the club must be able to match his ambitions.
The former Chelsea player has scored 11 goals and contributed another 16 assists this season.
"I feel very much at home with VfL Wolfsburg in this very moment.
"I am able to sign a new contract with Wolfsburg. Life in football can be fast moving." said De Bruyne.

Nigerian chief vows 'war is almost ended'

The head of the Nigerian Army has visited soldiers in the northeastern town of Baga, telling troops that the conflict against Boko Haram will soon be over.
Lieutenant General Kenneth Minimah flew by helicopter to the fishing hub on the shores of Lake Chad and spent about 30 minutes on the ground, an AFP correspondent accompanying him said.
"The war is almost ended. We will liberate Dikwa, Bama, Gwoza, Marte and other places in a few days' time," Minimah told troops on the brief visit.
Boko Haram fighters overran Baga on 3 January and are thought to have killed hundreds, if not more, in what is feared to be the group's worst massacre in the six-year insurgency.
The military said on Saturday that the remote town in the far north of Borno state was retaken after two days of fighting, killing "a large number of terrorists".
Defence chiefs have published dozens of photographs purporting to show vehicles, arms and ammunition used by the Islamists that were destroyed in the fighting.
The offensive is part of a fight-back by Nigeria and regional powers against Boko Haram to secure and stabilise the restive region to make voting possible at the general election on 28 March.
The vote was initially scheduled for 14 February but delayed by six weeks because military top brass claimed that troops would be unavailable to provide security on polling day.
President Goodluck Jonathan and his ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been accused of playing for time to revive their election campaign in the face of a strong opposition challenge.
On Monday, Jonathan said that "the tide has now definitely turned against Boko Haram", despite two bombings earlier that day that killed at least 27 in the north.
Minimah said the six-week deadline was "achievable", adding: "We are still within the timeframe.
"But six weeks should not be taken that everything must be attained because this is war."
He added: "Never again will Nigerians suffer this kind of large-scale destruction in the name of insurgency."

Could doctors really transplant a head onto a body in 2 years time? Italian surgeon says he can

iamwizdom 1:58 pm

How is this even possible? Italian surgeon, Sergio Canavero (pictured above), believes that head transplants are possible. That is taking a patient's head and grafting it onto a healthy body. This will be for paralysed patients and those with incurable illness. Dr. Canavero said both heads would be removed at the same time and then he would glue the patient's head onto the donor's body. Sounds to me like a crazy doctor. If you remove someone's head, is that not automatic death? Biko read the report after the cut and tell me maybe I'm the one who's not understanding it...before I yawere trying to understand...

It sounds like the plot of a bad horror film, but doctors are gearing up to do the world’s first head transplant.

Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero wants to take the head from someone with an incurable illness and graft it on to a healthy body. He claims the first operation could be done in just two years’ time.

The £7.5million body swap would initially be used to give a new lease of life to paralysed people – including those with spinal cord injuries similar to those sustained by the late actor Christopher Reeve.

People with muscle-wasting diseases and those whose organs are riddled with cancer could also have their head put on a new body.

Those with motor neurone disease, the condition suffered by Stephen Hawking and portrayed by Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne in the film The Theory of Everything, might also benefit.

Eventually, the technique could be used to extend the life of healthy people in the ‘ultimate cosmetic surgery’.

Critics have described the plans as ‘pure fantasy’, but Dr Canavero claims all the necessary techniques exist and that he just needs to put them together. It is already more than 40 years since the first monkey head transplant and a basic operation on a mouse has just been done in China.

Dr Canavero already has a long list of potential patients, and will announce his plans at a top medical conference this summer in a bid to get the backing needed to do the first transplant in 2017.

The location has yet to be decided, but the surgeon, from the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, says he would love to do it in London.

The new body would come from a normal transplant donor who is brain dead. Both the donor and the patient would have their head severed from their spinal cord at the same time, using an ultra-sharp blade to give a clean cut. The patient’s head would then be moved on to the donor’s body and attached using a ‘glue’ called polyethylene glycol to fuse the two ends of the spinal cord together.

The muscles and blood supply would be stitched up, before the patient is put in a coma for four weeks to stop them moving while the head and body heal together.

If that doesn’t sound bizarre enough, they would then be given small electric shocks to stimulate their spinal cord and strengthen the connections between their head and new body.

When the patient is brought out of their medically-induced coma, they should be able to move, feel their face and even speak with the same voice, this week’s New Scientist reports. Powerful immunosuppressant drugs should stop the new body from being rejected and intensive psychological support would also be provided.

Dr Canavero says he believes it would be ethically sound to carry out the procedure when people have no other hope of a cure.

However, the ethical arguments extend past the transplant itself.

For instance, if the patient went on to have children, they would biologically belong to the donor because the sperm or eggs would have come from the new body.

Initially, a shortage of donors means that the surgery would be limited to those with severe illness. But eventually, it could be used to allow healthy people to live longer.

Dr Canavero said that if science reaches the stage when human cloning is easy, a 60-year-old could make a copy of themselves.

They could then put their old head on a new, healthy body made from their own DNA – meaning they would keep their memories and personality.

William Matthews, chairman of the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons, said: ‘I embrace the concept of spinal fusion and I think there are a lot of areas that a head transplant could be used but I disagree with Canavero on the timing.

‘He thinks it’s ready, I think it’s far into the future.’

But Harry Goldsmith, a California doctor who has carried out one of the few operations that has allowed someone with a spinal cord injury to walk again, said: ‘I don’t believe it will ever happen.’
