Suspect Arrested In Rape Case That Led To HIV-Virus Infection In Bariga
Police arrested a man known as Fatai, who is a brother to
another member of the gang, who is still at large, has identified the arrested
suspect in the controversial case. Police believe he is out in the public
continuing to rape young women in Bariga.
Saharareporters has learned that the men of the Bariga
Police Division, led by their DPO, Mr. Edmund Afraimu, took up the matter and
swung into action after the sexual attack was reported at the Station earlier
in the week.
One victim of the notorious rapist gang, who spoke to a
SaharaTV crew in an interview, said she
contracted the much feared virus from the rape experience.
She said she went for a sexually transmitted disease test
after her experience, and was horrified by the results which found that she had
contracted HIV.
She said that in January, a five-man gang threatened her
with a gun at about 5.30am, as she set out to go to work. The gang took her
into the premises of a house on Odunsi Street, where she was raped. At about
same time, she said there was another female victim also being raped, and a
male victim, who were robbed at gun point.
Aside from her own molestation, she said her telephone, and
money, were also seized by the gang, and that she saw her phone being used by
them two days after the incident, in broad daylight.
At first, she said, she decided not to make any trouble with
the gang, or make any pronouncements about the incident. Yet, after the results
of the test, she did. She was stunned after the incident that showed her health
status as now HIV positive to the virus. She then decided to raise alarm about
the incident, and identify the gang responsible.

Lupe Fiasco ALSO Compares Justin Bieber to Donald Sterling, Only Racister
Justin Bieber has apologized for racist videos
made while the pop mega-star was still in his teens, but many
understandably feel that even the sincerest admission of guilt is simply
not enough, given the abhorrent content of Bieber's bigoted "jokes."
One such critic is rapper Lupe Fiasco who recently likened Justin's comments to the blatantly racist remarks made by Donald Sterling, former owner of the LA Clippers.
"Justin Bieber said it, so it's cool and people are already coming to his defense," said Fiasco in an interview with MTV.
"Donald Sterling made a billion dollars when he sold the team and then there was such an uproar over someone who didn't use the N-word at all, but then you have someone who made a very racist joke about it - I wonder if Justin's gonna get the same treatment as Donald Sterling."
"I don't think he will," Lupe continued. "It's an absurd thing. You get somebody who we 'like' who says it, and says it even more 'racist-ier' and we don't bat an eyelash at it."
Lupe's comments echo those of Drake Bell who also compared Bieber to Sterling.
Surprisingly, Lupe and Bell seem to hold the minority opinion in the entertainment world, as stars such as Floyd Mayweather, Lil Wayne and Whoopi Goldberg have all defended Bieber's comments.

CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele Presents 10-Point Agenda
The new Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has on Thursday presented his 10-point agenda.
Emefiele said he was committed to create "a central
bank that is professional, a central bank that is apolitical, and
people-focused. A Central Bank that spends its energies on building a
resilient financial system that can serve the growth and development
needs of out beloved country, Nigeria."
Before introducing his agenda, Emefiele praised the work that the previous governor did to achieve financial system stability, low inflation, an effective payment system, and exchange rate stability.
Monetary policy
Emefiele said the CBN would pursue a gradual reduction in interest rates, an apparent shift away from his predecessor’s hawkish monetary policy that was credited with bringing inflation down to single digits. Interest rates have been stuck at 12 percent since late 2011, and several measures have been made to tighten liquidity, which has been brought inflation down but made businesses complain that lending rates are too punitive.
"Such high rates create preserved incentives for commercial banks to simply buy virtually risk-free government bonds rather than lend to real sector," Emefiele said.
He said that while reduction in deposit rates would encourage investment attitude in savers, a reduction in lending rates would make credit cheaper for potential investors.
Emefiele also said that the apex bank would begin to include unemployment rates "as one of the key variables considered for its monetary policy decisions". He added that the CBN would design its monetary policy taking into account the potential fiscal expansion in the run-up to the 2015 elections.
Exchange rate policy
The CBN chief said the bank would continue to maintain exchange rate stability in view of the high import dependent nature of the economy. Emefiele cautioned that a systematic depreciation of the naira may translate to considerable inflationary pressure with negative effect on macro-economic stability.
"Therefore, under my leadership, the bank will continue to focus on maintaining exchange rate stability and preserve the value of the domestic currency."
"We will sustain the managed float regime in the management of the exchange rate as this will allow the bank to intervene when necessary to offset pressure on the exchange rate."
Economic development and employment
Emefiele said that the Central Bank would no longer focus solely on monetary and price stability. Citing the experience of Japan, the US and France, the governor said that the CBN would start supporting selected economic sectors using "direct methods" of intervention to support the overall performance of the economy as well as boost employment.
"With an annual additional 1.8 million Nigerians to the labour pool, the Central Bank cannot afford to sit idly by and concentrate on price and monetary stability.
"Additional measures would be required towards identifying productive sectors of the economy and channeling credit towards these sectors, while imposing proper monitoring and performance measures in order to ensure that the goals of increased employment and poverty reduction are attained."
Stability of financial system
Under the leadership of Emefiele, the CBN will continue to sustain the effective management of the potential threats and avoid systemic crisis.
"The core of my vision is to effectively manage potential threats to financial stability and create a strong governance regime that is conducive for financial intermediation, innovative finance and inclusiveness."
To achieve the goal, the bank would work with stakeholders to aggressively shore up the reserve, and would engage both the fiscal and political authorities, the governor said.
Agenda in brief
It will also be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan suspended previous governor of the CBN, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, over 'financial recklessness', a claim Sanusi denies. The ex-governor insisted that he was removed for highlighting alleged widespread corruption in the oil sector and appealed his suspension in court.

- Abolish fees associated with limits on deposits;
- Introduce a variety of financial instruments to boost specific enterprise areas in agriculture, manufacturing, health, and oil and gas;
- Establish Secured Transaction an National Collateral Registry as well as establish a National Credit Scoring System that will improve access to information on borrowers and assist lenders to make good credit decisions;
- Build resilient financial infrastructure that serves the needs of the lower end of the market;
- Renew advocacy for the creation of commercial courts for quick adjudications on loan and related offenses.
