Boko Haram: Curfew Imposed On Damaturu

A 24-hour curfew has been imposed on Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, following Monday’s attacks on the town by insurgents. This is contained in a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the state Governor on Press Affairs and Information, Alhaji Abdullahi Bego, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday. The statement said the curfew took immediate effect. It said Gov Ibrahim Gaidam approved the order in consultations with heads of law enforcement agencies in the state. It said the decision was taken as part of measures to enable the security agents who did a great job repelling the insurgents attack on the town, to conclude their ongoing assignment. The release advised all residents of the city to remain indoors during the curfew, and thanked the people of the state for their cooperation and support to the security agencies. NAN reports that gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram insurgents had attacked the state capital resulting in a gun battle between them and security operatives that lasted for several hours. Gov Gaidam condemned the attack, describing it as ‘heinous and barbaric’ and said that the onslaught had been repelled.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it.
