President Donald Trump of the United States had someone else take the SAT for him when he was in high school, his niece, Mary Trump, wrote in her forthcoming book, according to Washington Examiner.

As the book would tell it, Trump, who grew up in New York City, paid someone to take the standardised test for him and got a score that helped him gain admittance to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate.

The claim from Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man, which is due to be released next week, was published by the New York Times on Tuesday. 

In addition, Mary Trump, a licensed clinical psychologist, wrote that the President displays all nine clinical signs for being a narcissist.

“The fact is,” she writes, “Donald’s pathologies are so complex and his behaviours so often inexplicable that coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neurophysical tests that he’ll never sit for.”

The book, published by Simon and Schuster, is set to go on sale Tuesday, but a legal fight is being waged by the president's brother, Robert Trump, who argues that the book violates a confidentiality agreement that Mary Trump signed nearly 20 years ago. A temporary restraining order against Simon and Schuster has been lifted, but one remains in place on Mary Trump, barring her from commenting publicly on the matter ahead of a July 10 hearing.

The book also reveals that Mary Trump was the source of confidential documents disclosed in a New York Times investigation into the family's "legally dubious" tax schemes in the 1990s.

Last week, the publisher announced that it had already printed 75,000 copies of the book and shipped thousands of them.

The Abubakar Shekau’s faction of Boko Haram, Jama’atu Ahlussunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, has released a new video and confirmed its link with the armed groups in Niger State that also operate in the North-West.

According to HumAngle newspaper, the six minutes and five seconds video shows fully armed fighters speaking in Hausa, English and Kanuri.

“My second message is for all of the Mujahideen, especially those close to us. We send you Islamic greetings.

“My other message is for all the unbelievers in the world. Repent, you still have time. And if you don’t, wait and see what will happen to you very soon,” he said.

HumAngle further revealed that other speakers in English and Kanuri emphasised the same message in different languages.

“My message to Kuffar (unbelievers). O’Kuffar, you have time to repent to Allah before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala punishes you with our hands,” the English speaker warned.

“Soon you will see what is happening in your marketplaces. Soon you’ll see what is happening in your offices.

“Soon you’ll see what is happening in your homes. Anywhere you are, soon you’ll see what is happening.”

Another terrorist promised to track down whoever the Nigerian Army sent for an undercover operation in their midst.

Students and beneficiaries of the Federal Government Presidential Amnesty Programme have protested the non-payment of their scholarship allowance for over 30 months. 

The angry students had been complaining that the Nigerian Government had refused to pay their In- training allowances. 

They blocked the Kaiama area of the East-West Road of Bayelsa axis for over five hours chanting different solidarity songs on Monday. 

The demonstrators, who were armed with placards, also caused heavy gridlock on the major highway road and paralysed activities. 

Speaking on behalf of the protesting amnesty students, Zuobai Gabriel, said students, who enrolled in the programme at the end of the tenure of Paul Boro as Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs and Amnesty program had not been paid.  

Gabriel expressed annoyance at how the government had been handling the Amnesty Programme, noting that many of them had abandoned their studies because of lack of f unds. 

"We are undergoing a series of academic difficulties owing to the non-payment of our In-Training Allowances and we are on the verge of withdrawing from institutions of learning."

They also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to reposition the Presidential Amnesty Programme and passed a vote of no confidence on the leadership of the office.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has called on security agencies to investigate the former Secretary to the State Government, Ifedayo Abegunde, over the allegations that the 2016 governorship election in Ondo State was manipulated in his favour.

Abegunde had on Monday during a radio programme on Crest 87.7 FM in Akure alleged that Governor Akeredolu didn't win the 2016 poll but the results were manipulated in his favour.

Akeredolu in a statement on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Segun Ajiboye, said the allegations of the former Ondo SSG showed a semblance of sustained recycling of falsehood and blackmail targeted towards him and his immediate family. 

He also described the allegations as "pernicious lies" that must be investigated thoroughly.

The governor said, "It is, however, imperative to draw the attention of the country's security agencies to a particular outburst wherein the former SSG confessed to have participated in electoral fraud in 2016.

"Mr Governor, as an avid believer in democracy, rule of law and legality is not a beneficiary of the fraud Hon. Ifedayo Abegunde and his unnamed cohorts allegedly perpetrated during the 2016 governorship election. He would not encourage such; not even in the coming election.

"Ordinarily, the former SSG's vituperations which have come under heavy criticisms are assuaging. This is even as the voluntary dispatch of his shortcomings and emotional distress are enough to attract empathy.

"Nevertheless, Abegunde's outbursts are weighty confessions that must be investigated by security agencies. Anything to the contrary will not only encourage future acts as contained in the confessions. Such brazen anti-democratic acts are unambiguously, grave dangers to our fledgling electoral system.

"This is more so that Abegunde after his confessions on a live broadcast programme continues to remain a political participant in the state. He is a potent danger to democracy."

Earlier, a group, Democracy for Justice, called on the police to investigate the allegations and initiate criminal proceedings.

In a statement on Tuesday, Secretary of the group, Waheed Mohammed, said Governor Akeredolu must resign from office to enable the police to carry out investigations into the allegation by the former SSG.

“For the former SSG to come out now after long enjoying the rewards of an unearned mandate is very unfortunate.

“Agboola Ajayi, Akeredolu’s deputy, who has now joined PDP should also be bold enough to state what he knows about the saga.

"They are only crying out now because they fell out with their boss.

“The international community must beam a searchlight on Nigeria’s democracy. APC is dragging the country’s democracy over the precipice.

“A situation where the people will vote and their votes would not count is unjust.”

Spokesperson for the police in Ondo State, Mr Tee-Leo Ikoro, said the police can only act on the allegations made by SSG if it received a petition over the issue.

He said, "The police are apolitical and we must do our job professionally so we can't just swing into action and make arrest or investigate without a petition.

"If anyone feels that what the SSG has said are weighty allegations, then let them write us a petition to investigate the allegation."

Nigeria's Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, has confirmed that two of the three houses published by SaharaReporters belongs to him.

He however, said he had never bought any house for his wives after he assumed office as minister

Pantami claimed that he had occupied one of the apartments since January 2017 before he was appointed minister while the other one was a house he rented since December 17, 2019. 

The minister disclosed this in a statement by his spokesperson, Uwa Suleiman, in Abuja while reacting to publication.

The statement reads, "For the purpose of setting the records straight, the honourable minister has not purchased a single property anywhere in the world in the period he has been in office as a minister. One of the apartments in the images published is one which the honourable minister has occupied since January 2017, more than two years before becoming a minister, while the other one is a house he rented since 17th December 2019. Two of the images are not even known to him." 

However, the minister's defence appears to have caused more damage as Nigerians on various social media platforms continue to condemn his double standard of pretending to be a saint when he is not one.

Dear Beloveth Uwa, 

In response to your unprofessional and not so well researched response to your bosses corrupt behavior. I will make it easy for you by putting clear and concise questions for you to respond to with facts, not every nigerian is gullible like the followers of your boss on social media. So respond to SR with the following since you called them liars:

- You boss moved two is wives location to be disclosed from Kado and Lifecamp to the two location excluding Maitama, so when did he move to the house you claimed it was 2017?

- Who did he pay the rent and when, you can forge the documents but you will only be stating the obvious about that contractor?

- He spends a year and half or less in the University in Saudi, how much was his salary? 

- You claimed he was a business man, state the business he was doing, did he sell dates from Saudi Arabia or what?

Please Nigerians will not be fooled by your lack of professionalism, Dr Malam Sheikh Pantami can do justice to himself by finding someone else to respond with better convincing facts. Your response only implicated him more and it would have been better if your kept quite. 

Long live Nigeria and every soul will taste death. Today where is Baru or Kyari and many (May their shortcomings be forgiven). So the minister cannot continue to use the religion for worldly gains and try to use the northern Muslims and trolls he pays via some northern journalist to quite down the truth.

The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre has accused the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, of shielding the soldiers involved in the release of Bala Hamisu, suspected kidnap kingpin better known as Wadume.

On August 6, 2019, some soldiers attached to 93 battalion Ibbi-Takum Road, led by Tijjani Balarabe, a captain with the Nigerian Army, attacked some policemen, who arrested Wadume.

Three policemen and two civilians were killed during the incident, while Wadume was set free.

After his rearrest, Wadume had confessed that some officers of the Nigerian Army assisted him to escape when he was initially arrested.

The office of the AGF later took over the case from the police but the soldiers were not brought to the court for trial.

RULAC in a statement by its Executive Director, Okechukwu Nwanguma, said that nearly one year after the incident, Malami was still talking about allowing the army to court-marshal the culprits and conclude its internal process.

The statement reads, “On Wednesday, July 1, 2020, Abubakar Malami, Nigeria's Attorney-General of the Federation, when confronted by state house correspondents after a federal executive council meeting at the presidential villa, over his reason for withdrawing from the charge sheet, names of army officers indicted for the murder of 3 IRT operatives and 2 civilians in Taraba on August 6, 2019, said it was not true that his office is shielding the indicted army officers. See Also CRIME Nigeria’s Attorney General, Malami, Takes Over Prosecution Of Kidnapper, Wadume 0 Comments 1 Month Ago

“He said the authorities were only giving time to allow the established processes to be consummated. He said he withdrew the charges against the soldiers to allow the army to court-marshall them and conclude its internal process. He attempted some further clarifications to his defence which the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre considers woolly and absurd. 

“The AGF's attempt to rationalise his action amounts to sheer sophistry; an unconvincing afterthought which fails to exculpate him from his scandalous attempt to shield murder suspects from justice, for whatsoever reason.

“Today, nearly one year after this tragic and scandalous incident, someone is still talking about 'allow(ing) the army to court-marshall them and conclude its internal process'. How long does a court martial or other so-called internal processes take?  The truth is that the AGF found himself in an inescapable corner and had to willy nilly offer some excuse. Ab initio, he never appeared inclined- from his speech and body language- to allow the indicted army officers face trial.

“Why didn't the AGF offer this same lame excuse weeks before now in response to the public outrage and questions regarding his decision to remove the names of the indicted army officers from the charge sheet which the police filed before his office decided to take over prosecution? Why has the Chief of Army Staff not responded to the IGP's request on him, several months ago, to release the indicted army officers for trial? 

“The only thing that will convince Nigerians that the AGF and the Chief of Army Staff are not in cahoots in a scheme to shield the indicted army officers from justice is for the Chief of Army Staff to recall the army officers from the various locations he posted them after the crime and release them for trial while the AGF immediately restores their names to the charge sheet and immediately arraign them, alongside their alies in crimes, for trial.”

Facts on how Nigerians living in Indonesia were allegedly tortured and killed by the country’s immigration officials over expired visas and documents have come to light.

SaharaReporters gathered that the officials barged into victims’’ houses to effect arrest, forcing them to pay ₦450,000 before they are released.

The exercise was said to be carried out daily targeting mainly Nigerians with the aim of extorting money from them.

It was gathered that those, who could not cough out the money, were tortured with many dying in the process.

Those unable to raise the money are compelled to call their family members for them to find a means of sourcing the funds.

SaharaReporters gathered that a Nigerian identified as Chukwueze was tortured to death while in the custody of Indonesian immigration officials because he could not raise the money demanded as a bribe.

A source, who spoke with SaharaReporters said, "We are passing through hell here in Indonesia. The immigration officials are killing us because of expired visa. They come into our houses to arrest us and force us to pay N450, 000.

"If you don't pay the money, they will ask you to call your relatives to raise the money.

"Last Monday, one Nigerian died in their custody because he had no money to pay. He died due to the torture he was subjected to by immigration officers."

Recall that some Nigerians recently staged a protest at the Nigeria Embassy in Jakarta over alleged discrimination and targeted raids by Indonesian immigration officers.

A right activist, Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho, has called on the Delta State Police Command to account for all exploited children transferred to the officials of the state’s Ministry of Women Affairs from 1991 till date.

He said the call was aimed at saving the lives of children, who are now regular victims of trafficking through illegal adoption by government officials in the ministry in connivance with the judiciary.

Aghogho condemned the police for involving in unethical and unprofessional conduct in the transfer of exploited children including suspected orphans from police stations within and across the state to some government officials in Delta.

The activist made the call in a statement on Friday over the incessant cases of illegal adoption by a group of people in government without following laid down procedures.

He maintained that the Delta State Child's Right Law prohibited the collection of money or reward for child adoption except with the sanction of the court.

The statement reads, “It would be recalled that the Area Command Office, Warri, Delta State Police Command had unethically and unprofessionally issued a document dated 2/8/16 reference number AR: 3000/DTS/ARC/WARRI/VOL 39/85 transferring twelve exploited  children from the Area Command Office, Warri, to the Social Welfare Officer, Effurun, and same were allegedly  trafficked."

Meanwhile, spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, DSP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, while reacting to SaharaReporters’ enquiry on the matter and whereabouts of the children transferred by police to various orphanage homes, said it was not the duty of police to do follow up on adopted children once they had been transferred.

SaharaReporters had reported that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Benin Zonal Office, was currently investigating one Emmanuel Zimi Dolor and the Chief Judge of Delta State, Justice Marshal Umukoro, including officials of the Delta State Ministry of Women Affairs and judiciary on the alleged child trafficking.

The Central Bank of Nigeria devalued the naira at one of its currency auctions, according to people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg said in its latest report.

The weakening comes after Governor Godwin Emefiele announced last month that the bank plans to unify its multiple exchange rates to improve the transparency of its currency-management system.

At an auction for importers on Friday, the CBN asked that bids for foreign exchange be made at N380 per United States dollar compared with N360 previously, the people said.

Isaac Okorafor, spokesperson for the CBN, didn’t answer calls to his mobile phone or reply to messages seeking comment.

The bank previously devalued the currency in March when it adjusted the official peg against the dollar to N360 from N307.

There’s another rate for investors and exporters known as the nafex window, which acts as a spot-rate for the naira.

The nafex -- which has been relatively stable around N388 per dollar since mid-May following a recovery in oil prices -- was introduced in 2017 as a way of wooing back foreign investors spooked by an economic crisis, without formally devaluing the currency.

The naira also trades widely in the black market, which Emefiele has said is illegal and is sold by the regulator to companies and individuals at varying rates.

Investors and the International Monetary Fund have long called for Nigeria to merge its multiple exchange rates, saying the absence of a single rate creates confusion and deters foreign investment.

On Thursday, SaharaReporters had exposed how the CBN deliberately prevents naira from appreciating against the United States dollar. See Also Exclusive EXPOSED: How Central Bank Of Nigeria Deliberately Prevents Naira From Appreciating Against United States Dollar 0 Comments 2 Days Ago

According to documents seen by SaharaReporters, the apex bank, which has refused to disclose the exact foreign remittances it has received from 2016 to 2018, deliberately stocks the US dollars it receives on behalf of Nigerians to trade them off through crooked means.

The CBN, it was gathered, was warehousing the dollar component of remittances in foreign banks, thereby making it impossible for the naira to appreciate against the dollar in the foreign exchange market.

“The CBN wants to continue to sabotage the national economy through dubious regulations and that was why it banned banks and other foreign exchange dealers from paying foreign currencies to recipients of foreign remittances.

“Thus, by warehousing the dollar component of remittances in foreign banks, the CBN has made it impossible for the naira to appreciate against the dollar in the foreign exchange market,” a financial expert with deep knowledge of the fraud going on in the apex revealed.
