How Boko Haram prepares kidnapped girls as suicide bombers-Woman recounts
“The Boko Haram would recite the prayer for the dead,“Then they would put on the hijab,” covering the suicide belt.“They said, ‘God will forgive us,’ ” she said. “Then, they would enter the vehicles, and they would send the women away.”
Meriam
said she had seen a few of the Chibok village girls at the hospital in
Gwoza, and said that the Boko Haram appeared to give them a special
status.
Hamsatu, 25, a young woman in a black-and-purple head scarf, looking down at the ground said ... said she was four months pregnant, that the father was a Boko Haram member and that she had been forced to have sex with other militants who took control of her town.
“They married me,“They chose the ones they wanted to marry,If anybody shouts, they said they would shoot them.”
Yahauwa,
30, used her green head scarf to wipe away tears as she clutched a
plastic bag full of medicine. She had just tested positive for H.I.V.
“Is it from the people who forced me to have affairs with them?” she asked a relief worker, tears streaming down her face.
Later, she explained that she and many other women had been “locked in one big room.”
“When they came, they would select the one they wanted to sleep with, “They said, ‘If you do not marry us, we will slaughter you.’ ”

We sacked keshi to save his life- Pinnick
Amaju Pinnick, President of the Nigeria
Football Federation, NFF, has said that Coach Stephen Keshi was sacked
to preserve him from the rage of angered Nigerian fans, who he said were
on the verge of lynching him during Wednesday’s 2015 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier with Sudan in Abuja.
Pinnick
said he and other NFF Executive Committee members were shocked, as fans
assaulted Keshi with pet bottles and stones, as they demanded for the
head of the coach.
He said the fans chanted “Keshi must go,” “sack Keshi” and “we don’t want Keshi again.”
The NFF swung into action yesterday by dismissing the coach.
“It
was too much to bear. The fans were coming for him and it was going to
be a security risk for us as people had ran out of patience and were
prepared to break the law to achieve their aim. Keshi’s personal safety
was paramount in our decision to relieve him of his duties,” Pinnick
said.
Meanwhile, there are reports
that the NFF will replace sacked Keshi with Jorge Luis Pinto, former
Costa Rica coach or Jose Pekerman, former Colombia coach.
The two international coaches were outstanding with their teams in Brazil 2014 World Cup and their contracts have expired.

Autopsy reveals that unarmed teen Michael Brown was shot six times
One of the bullets entered the top of Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the separate autopsy. It was likely the last of bullets to hit him, he said. Continue...
Brown was also shot four times in the right arm, he said, adding that all the bullets were fired into his front. Contradicting earlier reports by eyewitnesses that he was shot in the back as he ran from the officer
The bullets did not appear to have been shot from very close range because no gunpowder was present on his body. However, that determination could change if it turns out that there is gunshot residue on Mr. Brown’s clothing, to which Dr. Baden did not have access.
Dr. Baden said that while Mr. Brown was shot at least six times, only three bullets were recovered from his body. But he has not yet seen the X-rays showing where the bullets were found, which would clarify the autopsy results. Nor has he had access to witness and police statements.
Dr. Baden provided a diagram of the entry wounds, and noted that the six shots produced numerous wounds. Some of the bullets entered and exited several times, including one that left at least five different wounds.
“This one here looks like his head was bent downward,” he said, indicating the wound at the very top of Mr. Brown’s head. “It can be because he’s giving up, or because he’s charging forward at the officer.”
He stressed that his information does not assign blame or justify the shooting.
“We need more information; for example, the police should be examining the automobile to see if there is gunshot residue in the police car,” he said.
Dr. Baden, 80, is a well-known New York-based medical examiner, who is one of only about 400 board-certified forensic pathologists in the nation. He reviewed the autopsies of both President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and has performed more than 20,000 autopsies himself. - Huffington PostShooting an unarmed citizen six times is too excessive. Just too much...
