Graphic Pics: Executed ISIS fighters lined up in the ruins of border town of Kobane
during continued fighting in the villages around
Kobane which was liberated earlier this week after
months of bitter street fighting. In one village, a Kurd
was today pictured standing over the bodies of
Islamic extremists after they were killed in Halimce, a village east of the town... Kurdish forces recaptured the town on January 26 in
a symbolic blow to the jihadists who have seized
large swathes of territory in their onslaught across
Syria and Iraq. But the town is now characterised by
demolished buildings, with heavily armed fighters
roaming otherwise deserted, rubble-strewn streets. Although their town has been liberated, thousands of
residents are now settling into Turkey's newest
refugee camp for an indefinite stay and have been
warned not to return until the area has been fully
secured.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes has revealed new contract talks are planned and says he is a "good fit" for the club.
successor in 2013 led to demonstrations from some Stoke fans. But Hughes guided Stoke to their best Premier League
finish - ninth - in 2013-14 and they currently lie 10th. Hughes said: "The owners intimated they would like to
discuss a new contract. If we can reach an
agreement, I will be more than happy. We are a good
fit." The Welshman was speaking ahead of his side's
encounter with Queens Park Rangers at the Britannia
Stadium on Saturday. QPR sacked Hughes in 2012 as they headed for relegation to the Championship. The Welshman is unsure about speculation he will be
given an additional two years. "The length and terms will be discussed in due course
I would imagine," he said. "But I'm delighted they
want to do it.
Many of the traders in Alaba Market are Armed Robbers (Read)
stores at the Alaba International Market was
recently arrested for robbery. While opening up to the police on his arrest, he said
"I participated in a robbery operation where we
made over one hundred million naira and I got
twenty eight million naira as my share. What kind of
business could I have done to get that kind of
money?" I am a businessman at the Alaba International
Market. I deal in musical instruments. The same thing
is applicable to my members. They have one
business or the other in the market. Some sell
generator parts or sets; others sell one thing or the
other to deceive people that we are into genuine businesses.We robbed a man travelling from
Cotonou." On how they got the information that the man was
holding a huge amount of money, John said that "It was our informant that told us that the man
was coming into the country. It was the most
successful robbery operation that I ever
participated in. Others got N25 to N18 million,
depending on their roles. I am the gang leader. "The second robbery was in Cotonou. We
raided a bank. We got big money also. But I
can't say how much. I know I got N17 million
and my boys got as much as N5 million each." The suspects, while speaking on robberies outside
Nigeria, said "Robberies in Cotonou are easier than what happens in Nigeria. In Cotonou, you don't
even need a gun to operate. But in Nigeria,
especially in Lagos, you need to be very
careful." On why he continued to participate in robberies even
after making enough money, the suspect said that "Well, I built a very magnificent building in my
village. I have another one in Lagos. I bought
some cars but I regret everything now. I am
going to be ashamed both in the market and in
my village because people see me as a big guy.
What of my church? I am finished; I am a Catholic and an active church member who
belongs to many societies. My church members
will now see me as an evil person. I am
exposed to ridicule. Well, many people in Alaba
International Market and other market places
are into armed robbery or other illegal businesses. Like Victor Anamalechi, he is my
gang member and he sells generating sets. He
is equally seen in the market as a big man. The
other person, Ihenacho Igwe (aka Messiah) is
not in Alaba Market, but when he got much
money, he invested in trucks. He also bought some taxis and commercial buses. He really
utilised his money very well but all is now
vanity. "My advice to people is that they should not be
envious of other people that they see in
affluence. Many of them could have acquired
their wealth through illegal means, especially
armed robbery. More so, the money one gets
through armed robbery brings fear and apprehension as one is forced to live in
perpetual fear. Now, I have been living in fear
and the thing I was afraid of all this while has
finally happened to me. I have been arrested
and I don't know my fate yet."
