MUSIC & MOVIES: I've Never Met Second Girl That Took Pix of Me in Bed - Davido

In December last year, Dami duro crooner Davido was enveloped in a second lady-in-bed photo scandal with an unnamed girl after the first one involving girl friend Sonia went viral in March while holidaying in Ghana.
Davido has kept mum on the matter until now when he tells former Big Brother Africa house mate Ebuka Obi Uchendu hosts of TV programme Rubbing Minds that he never knew this girl.
"I was asleep in bed. The girl just snuck in and (makes gesture of taking photograph) I don't know her. I used to stay in an apartment back then and movement was kind of free. Maybe I didn't lock the door and she just snuck in and took the pix. I have however moved to my new home where there is much tighter security.
I didn't realise what was going on even after the pix was posted online. I traveled to Ghana immediately afterwards and I noticed on the plane people were just staring at me and I wondered why. Since it was a flight my phone was switched off and so I had no idea what was happening online. When I got to Ghana, I still got the same stare from people. I was asked by friends to switch on my phone and that was it. 300 calls from Dad, 600 calls from grandma, everyone one asking Davido what's going on."
Davido claims the girl in question later called his 'people' to apologise but then the damage had already been done. He hopes such incidences never occur again as he maintains his resilience to finish his studies, face his music business and continue to be a role model to others.

KONIBAJE NEWS & FEATURES: Senate, Security Chiefs in Six-Hour Session

Senators yesterday asked security agencies to explore alternative strategies apart from the use of force in their fight against insurgency, in the wake of resurgent violence in parts of the North.
At an emergency closed-door meeting with security chiefs that lasted for about six hours in the Senate chambers in Abuja, the lawmakers said it was clear use of force alone could not end the shootings and bombings and so it was time other options were considered.
The meeting was attended by the Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sa'ad Ola Ibrahim, Chief of Army Staff General Azubuike Ihejirika, Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba, Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Alex Bade, Director General of the State Security Service (SSS) Mr. Ita Ekpeyong, and Deputy Inspector General of Police for Administration Mr. Suleiman Fakai, who represented the Inspector General of Police.
After the session, which started at 10.25am and ended at 4.23pm, the security chiefs declined to talk to journalists, while Senate President David Mark merely said they briefed the Senate on the security situation in the country.
At a news conference shortly after, Senate spokesman Enyinnaya Abaribe said the meeting was aimed at finding out "what the problems are and also to be able to work with the security agencies to bring the very serious security problems we have to possible resolution." He did not give details.
But senators told Daily Trust that during the meeting, lawmakers told the security chiefs that the use of force in the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency had not produced much result so far. The Senate therefore urged them to explore alternative strategies.
"We engaged them in a very rigorous questioning session on the level of insecurity in Nigeria. Every senator was given the opportunity to ask questions, but the security chiefs told us they were doing their best," one of the senators said, asking not to be named.

KONIBAJE NEWS: Nigeria finds 29 survivors from trafficked immigrant boat

Nigerian authorities have so far rescued 29 survivors from a boat carrying scores of trafficked immigrants that sank on its way to Gabon, the National Emergency Management Agency said on Thursday.

At least 45 people drowned, according a local doctor who said he received the bodies.

Initial reports from traders at the dock from where the boat departed suggested there were 166 people on board, but emergency agency spokesman Yushua Shuaib said on Thursday there were actually 128 people, based on the boat's manifest.
"The boat originated from Benin. Security agencies are still investigating the allegations that the boat was involved in human trafficking," he said. "The rescue operation is still ongoing."
He said the agency had itself only been made aware of nine bodies recovered so far.
Survivors told Reuters on Wednesday the boat had been carrying illegal immigrants trafficked to Gabon, an oil producing state of around 1.5 million people that enjoys relative prosperity by west and central African standards.
Trafficking routes from West Africa to Europe through Spain's Canary Islands are well known, but Gabon is also top destination for immigrants seeking a better life.
In July 2008, the bodies of 37 suspected illegal migrants were found dead on the seafront of Gabon's capital Libreville, after a boat capsized taking the same Nigeria to Gabon route.
