Heavy Flood Renders Many Homeless in Umuahia

A heavy downpour which lasted
for about 2 hours in Umuahia  has rendered many homeless, as flood destroyed many houses.

Some of the areas affected includes Girls High Sch, Amuzukwu, Oriete mkt road. Umuolege alala, Amuzukwu. Umueze, Ozuite streets etc.

Residents in flood-prone areas said they were taken unawares.

A resident in Oriete mkt road, Uko  said they were almost killed when
their house collapsed. “We survived by miracle".

"We were sleeping when the rain was falling, then after sometime, our  compound fence collapsed and heavy flood gushed in which enter our houses now we have no where to go” Andrew  said.

A woman Mrs Agomuo said "we didn't know what to do, water was every where, my house was filed with water that we had to climb our table and fridge if not the intervention of some officers of FRSC living nearby I don't know what would have happened".

What do you have to say?

Well to her it's fashion, but what do you think?

Tonto Dikeh risks jail term for posting weed photos on Instagram?

For posting the marijuana photos on her instagram page, a representative of The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency is saying actress Tonto Dikeh faces jail term.

NDLEA spokesman Mr. Mitchell Ofoyejus told Punch

“Our attention has been drawn to the post quite frankly and I can tell you that action will be taken on it. The law is clear and NDLEA has been very clear on the issue. No one is permitted to sell, use, cultivate or encourage the use of Indian hemp in Nigeria. The weed is one of the banned narcotics in the country.

“NDLEA Act Section 14 (b) states that any person who conspires with, aids, abets, counsels, attempts to commit or is an accessory to any act or offence referred to in this act shall be guilty of an offence under this act and liable on conviction to be sentenced to imprisonment for a term not less than 15 years and not exceeding 25 years.

So if you get 15 years for posting a weed photo on social media, what do you now get for selling and distributing? And what about those who sing about it? I don't get! Continue...

“Investigation has not started as of now but definitely, a step has to be taken on the matter. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse; so, it is obvious that the actress stands the risk of 15 years jail term. The appropriate department is meeting on the issue for necessary action.”

The NDLEA spokesman, however, declined to give any hint on particular steps the agency would take in its investigation, citing reasons bearing on ethics.
