It is within our power to definitively overcome Boko Haram. The war will be short, with the setting up of the regional force, it will be over by the end of the year.
There is someone apparently called Mahamat Daoud who is said to have replaced Abubakar Shekau and he wants to negotiate with the Nigerian government. For my part, I would advise not to negotiate with a terrorist,” he said

On Tuesday, 11th of August, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari stated that, “in a matter of weeks”, the Federal Government will begin the trial of persons alleged to have stolen from the national coffers.
The President spoke while addressing members of the National Peace Committee, led by a former military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to a statement by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the president was quoted as telling Abubakar and members of his committee that his administration that…
“Those who have stolen the national wealth will be in court in a matter of weeks and Nigerians will know those who have short-changed them,” Nigeria has to break this vicious cycle before we can make progress,” “We have really degenerated as a country. Our national institutions, including the military, which did wonderfully on foreign missions in the past, have been compromised. But we are doing something about it. The military is now retraining and morale has been resuscitated.
“As petroleum minister under Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo in the 1970s, I could not travel abroad until I had taken a memo to the Federal Executive Council, asking for estacode. Now, everybody does what he wants.
“That is why security-wise and economically, we’re in trouble.”
But the committee, which Buhari has transformed into the National Peace Council, also told the President to remember that Nigeria was no longer under military rule and that he should follow due process in the trial of suspected looters.
Abubakar and members of his committee urged the Federal Government to be guided by the rule of law in its fight against corruption.
A member of the committee, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Kukah, spoke with State House correspondents at the end of the closed-door meeting with the President.
“It (the way corruption war is being fought) is not heating up the polity.“In our conversation with (ex) President Goodluck Jonathan and members of the parties, I don’t think any Nigerian is in favour of corruption or is against the President’s commitment to ensuring that we turn a new leaf.“I think what we are concerned about is the process. It is no longer a military regime and under our existing laws, everybody is innocent until proven guilty.
“Again, our own commitment is not to intimidate or fight anybody. The former President’s commitment and what he did still remains spectacular and I think that President Buhari himself appreciates that.“So, our effort really is to make sure that the right thing is done.”
Jonathan had reportedly complained to the committee over alleged victimization of his aides by the incumbent administration in its anti-corruption crusade.
Kukah confirmed that members of the committee had met with Jonathan after meeting with some political parties.
He claimed the meeting with Buhari was not at Jonathan’s instance, saying the parley was a continuation of a series of intervention aimed at getting feedback from the conduct of the last elections.
He said,
“Anybody is free to come to our committee but President Jonathan never by telephone or other means talked to the committee.“We went to see him, but that is after we had already seen members of the political parties and members of the civil society.“We planned to see the Speaker (of the House of Representatives) because we couldn’t see him yesterday.“This is a much-planned series of intervention, essentially just to hear out everybody and I think the good news is that Nigerians are committed to a new nation, they are committed to ensuring that the gains and blessings God has given us come to fruition.”
Kukah said the meeting with the President was neither an intervention nor a hearing session.
Outrage has erupted in India after the arrest of dozens of couples at a number of hotels in Mumbai last week because they were allegedly unmarried.
Over 40 couples were dragged out of their hotel rooms and were reportedly taken to a nearby police station where they were held for several hours and some were even forced to call their parents.
Witnesses claim that the police knocked on the doors to the hotel rooms during the Thursday afternoon raid, and arrested all couples found to be unmarried.
In spite of the fact that were lodged in private hotel rooms, the couples were charged with ‘indecent behaviour in public‘ and made to pay a fine of 1,200 rupees (£12).
A witness told Mid-Day.com:
The police first insulted all of us in front of all the officers and the other couples and then forced us to call our parents and insulted and disgraced us in front of them,”.They also made the parents feel guilty as if their children had committed some heinous crime.’
He also stated that they were taken to the police station around 05:00pm and many of them were allowed to go only by 10:00pm.
A number of angry Mumbai citizens took to Twitter to express their feelings, using the hashtag #MumbaiPolice.

In the new arrangement, all ATMs that were enabled for domestic and foreign transactions have been restructured to limit Naira cash withdrawal at ATMs from N150,000 per day to N60,000 per day while foreign currency is $300 per day.
The new arrangement has separated traditional ATM from MasterCard credit card where the former has now been deactivated and can no longer be used for transactions abroad.
Henceforth, a single ATM card serves for transactions for both domestic and abroad.
Also, the restructured cards now have spending limits on POS/eCommerce (online shopping) at $300 (about N60,000) per day. Before this, the limit was N2 million per day.
In a communication to the customers, the bank explained:
“In view of the increased difficulty in sourcing foreign currency to settle international transactions on Naira MasterCards, we have reduced the daily international spending limit on your Naira MasterCard to $300.This means that you can only spend up to $300 daily when using your Naira MasterCard for international payments via POS and online.
“You will, however, continue to have the option of paying for medical bills, school fees, mortgages and credit cards using Form A, as these are eligible transactions for foreign currency. Simply visit any GTBank branch to complete a Form A along with the required documents to make these payments.”
These developments came on the heels of Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) statement on Sunday that all legitimate requests for foreign currency for eligible transactions, normally referred to as “invisibles,” such as remittances for school fees, student maintenance allowances, BTA, PTA, medical and other eligible transactions, shall be fully met at the official/interbank exchange rate.
A statement from the CBN added:
“The CBN hereby directs all authorised dealers in foreign exchange in Nigeria to henceforth treat as top priority all legitimate demand for foreign exchange for eligible transactions.
“The CBN once again advises individuals that wish to source foreign currency for such eligible transactions to approach their banks with their legitimate demand as the CBN has made adequate provisions of foreign currency for all such legitimate and eligible purposes.
“Furthermore, holders of Naira denominated debit and credit cards shall continue to have access to the use of their cards at ATMs in any part of the world but subject to the annual limit of $50,000. ATM withdraws shall continue to be a maximum of $300 per day.”
