PRISON BREAK!100 Inmates Escape In Ekiti, 1 Warder Killed
About 100 prisoners are estimated to have escaped from Ado Ekiti Prison following a jailbreak between 10pm to midnight on Sunday.
An eyewitness said the prison attack was perpetrated by over 50 gunmen wielding heavy weapons, including improvised explosive devices, to blow open the prison gates and walls while chanting “Alau Akbar!”
A prison source confirmed that one Prison official was killed in the attack.
It could not be ascertained if Boko Haram militants were behind the prison break-in though the gunmen used the chant which has been used by Boko Haram militants to scare away prison warders during previous jailbreaks.
According to TVC, some of the escaping prisoners have been recaptured.
Earlier this morning, Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, came under siege as heavily armed gang suspected to be Boko Haram terrorists besieged the town leading to residents fleeing to safety.

INSPIRING! Read The Story of Ladi Kwali-The Woman On The N20 Note Who Got A Doctorate For Local Craft
If you know any great Nigerian history please share with the rest of us. Below is the history of Ladi Kwali, the woman on the N20 note…
Nigeria's best known potter who was awarded a Doctorate and was made MBE in 1963 for the level of detail and skill she utilized while making her pots.
Ladi Dosei Kwali (1925-1983) popularly known as Dr Ladi Kwali was born in 1925 in Kwali town in the present Federal Capital Territory, Abuja,Nigeria.
Probably she is the best known of the Abuja potters. Making pots was women's work in Kwali and the entire Gwari villages, therefore Ladi came to Abuja (the then Suleja) with knowledge of traditional Gwari pottery.
She did not at first take to the idea of using wheels and kilns and the other paraphernalia of the European potter, but proved to have a natural ability to throw. She was picked from her traditional home Kwali to the then Abuja the present Suleja because of her natural ability in making pots.
The Abuja Pottery Training Centre was established 1950 by an English potter, Michael Cardew, who was sent to the Abuja area by the then colonial government, ostensibly to improve the quality of local work. But he found himself, for the next 15 years, in a symbiotic working relationship with local potters, in which he taught and was taught by potters like Ladi Kwali.
While Cardew introduced wheels and kilns to the centre, he also learnt about traditional firing methods and ornamentation. Kwali on the other hand, was initially reluctant to adapt to the wheel, preferring the spiralled coil method of building pots. She however, discovered she had a natural flair for the wheel. Cardew encouraged her to decorate her work, something she had not done before, and he even fired some of her traditional work in the Abuja kiln.
Ladi was later to become a very popular member of the touring lecture team; her easy nature and ability to communicate made her well liked and appreciated in Europe, Britain and America. She became Nigeria's best known potter and has been honoured in many ways; she was given a doctorate.
By the time she died in 1983, Dr Ladi Kwali was Nigeria's best known potter. She left a rich legacy of her work and a school of 'students' who picked up from where she left at the Abuja Pottery Training Centre. Over the next decade, her ornamentation skills became more sophisticated, and probably because of improved firing methods, she had the opportunity to exhibit her work in Europe in 1958, 1959 and 1962.
Her pottery was also displayed during Nigeria's independence celebrations in 1960. Dr Ladi Kwali remained associated with the Abuja pottery works till she died. She gave lectures and demonstrations at home and abroad on her craft throughout her career.

GBESE! NAFDAC Destroys Fake Drugs Worth N100m
The National Agency for Food and Drugs, Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has destroyed seized products worth over N100 million from Imo, Enugu, Anambra and Ebonyi states.
The counterfeit and unwholesome products which were destroyed include drugs/vaccines, food, packaging materials, pesticides, labels, chemicals, cosmetics and medical devices.
"Drug counterfeiting has become a menace globally. In 2001, the prevalence of counterfeit drugs was put at over 40 per cent; some people say 60 per cent. But under the leadership of late Prof. Dora Akunyili, NAFDAC waged a ceaseless battle against drug counterfeiting and we have been able to bring down the incidence of counterfeit drugs from over 40 per cent down to 16.7 per cent in 2005," said Dr. Paul Orhii, NAFDAC Director-General during the destruction exercise at ESWAMA landfill in Enugu.
Orhii, who was represented by the Director Special Duties of the agency, Dr. Abubakar Jimoh, said the prevalence of drug counterfeiting erodes the confidence of people in the healthcare delivery system.
"I must tell you that we have not rested even after the demise of Prof. Akunyili. With the emergence of Dr. Paul Orhii as our leader, we have continued to fight and win the war against this menace," he said.
NAFDAC said it will continue to fight drug counterfeiting and other related hazardous practices to safeguard the health of Nigerians.
