The Nigeria Federal Government Has Increased Fuel Price From N140.80 To N143.80.

The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency has announced a new price band of N140.80 to N143.80 per litre for Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol.

Sources at the Abuja headquarters of the agency said the rise in petrol price was primarily due to the increase in global crude oil prices.

A circular released on Wednesday July 1, from the PPPRA to marketers reads;

“After a review of the prevailing market fundamentals in the month of June and considering marketers’ realistic operating costs, as much as practicable, we wish to advise a new PMS pump price band of N140.80-N143.80 per litre for the month of July 2020.

All marketers are advised to operate within the indicative prices as advised by the PPPRA.”

The federal government, in March, announced that the retail price of petrol would be adjusted monthly to reflect realities in the global crude oil market. On May 31, 2020, the PPPRA announced a price band of N121.50 to N123.50 per litre for the product.

I rape women during operations. It is better Police kill me than take me back to prison ― Suspect

A 27-year-old self-confessed robber and serial rapist, Adeniyi Ajayi, yesterday disclosed that he raped women and maids in the presence of their husbands and bosses, as punishment for refusing to give him money, during operation.

According to vanguardngr, rather than showing remorse for his action, Ajayi, who is an ex-convict, begged the Police to kill him, instead of sending him back to prison. The suspect, who runs a one-man squad, was arrested in a hotel at Ijora 7-up area of Lagos.

His modus operandi was to break into victims’ homes, ordering them to cooperate with him or risk being killed by other members of his gang whom he claimed had surrounded the building.

When news of his arrest filtered round Sabo and its environ, eight victims, some of who were civil servants and lawyers, stormed SARS office to affirm that he raped them during operation.

Among them were also two female staff of a company in Sabo, who disclosed that he raped them right before their male colleagues, in broad daylight on June 16, 2020.

During interrogation, he admitted culpability. He said: ”Yes, I rape women whose husbands refused to give me money, and those tried to make things difficult for me during operation.

I operated alone, with just torchlight. But I would be giving orders to my imaginary gang members, on where to position themselves, just to give the impression that I was not alone.

The solution to this act is for the Police to waste my life because if they take me to prison, I will come back hardened and I don’t want to keep disturbing Nigerians. It is better they waste my life. They should just kill me to end it all.” 📸: Vanguardngr

Erigga punches his girlfriend to death for denying him sex


Oyo State Police has paraded one Shagbada Erigga, 24, for killing his 30-year-old Happiness Winfred, at Oritoke Area Ojoo, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Briefing journalists on the matter the State Police Commissioner (CP), Joe Nwachukwu Enwowu, disclosed that Erigga was arrested after one Agu Benson, on 25, June, 2020, lodged a complaint that he saw a corpse inside a well in their compound.

“The detailed investigations by the police led to the arrest of Shagbada Erigga who happens to be a neighbor of Benson.

Happiness left her house on Sunday 21, June, 2020, but was later found dead inside a well on 25th of June, 2020. However, since the Suspect Criminal has confessed to the crime, he will soon be charged to Court,” Enwowu said.

Speaking to journalists, the suspect said, “The killing was not intentional, the late Happiness used to be my girlfriend, but since we have been dating she has never for once let me have sexual intercourse with her.

On that faithful day of the incident, we were showering together and I asked her the reason she has been denying me of sex but she was raising her voice on me and I slapped her and to my surprise, she slapped me back and I gave her just three blows at the mouth and another one on her neck.

Next thing I knew, she fell slumped and died. When I discovered that she has died, I quickly carried her corpse and threw her inside a well in my compound because I was afraid and I didn’t want people to suspect me.” Credit: @instablog9ja
