Tanzanian Authorities Conducting Manhunt For British Pilot Killed By Poachers
The Tanzanian authorities are currently conducting a manhunt for the
poachers responsible for the death of a British pilot, according to
media sources.
The pilot, Roger Gower, was tracking the poachers on Friday in the Maswa Game Reserve when his helicopter was fired upon from the ground, according to the natural resources minister, Jumanne Maghembe.
The mission was a joint effort by the Friedkin Conservation Fund and the Tanzanian government in response to what some have termed “industrialized poaching”.
"The government has launched a manhunt to find those responsible for this attack," Maghembe told reporters.
Dan Friedkin, the Chairman of the Friedkin Conservation Fund expressed his grief regarding the death of Mr. Gower.
"This tragic event again highlights the appalling risk and cost of protecting Tanzania's wildlife," Mr. Friedkin said in a statement.
Speaking to Reuters, Mr. Maghembe's deputy at the ministry, Ramo Makani, that five suspects had been arrested since Gower's death and that the operation is still underway for the remaining suspects.

APC condemns recent transfer of Father Mbaka
– APC condemns recent transfer of Father Mbaka
– Alleges President Buhari’s haters to be behind new development
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to reports that controversial cleric, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka has been transferred by the leadership of the Catholic Church in Enugu.
The Enugu Parish leadership had reportedly transferred the fire-brand cleric from Christ the King Parish in the Government Reserved Area (GRA) of the state to Our Lady Parish, Emene, a suburb of the state and he had immediately cried out over the latest development.
Mbaka who is more prominent for his prophecies against the immediate past president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, had been in the now former parish for 20 years and is now required to work under a new priest at the Emene Parish.
But Vanguard reports that the spokesperson of the APC in the Southeast, Osita Okechukwu, has condemned the new move.
He said: “It was wrong to punish the fearless priest for his prophecies which has proved to be from God.”
While also expressing concern over Mbaka’s safety, the APC chieftain alleged that the transfer was influenced by outside forces, adding that worshippers may find it difficult to get to Emene for programmes of the Adoration Ministry.
“Whereas we accept that the transfer of priests is a routine exercise of the great Catholic Church, However we do not wholly accept a situation where the church allows external forces to influence transfers as the Mbaka’s case suggests.
“Otherwise, future liberation clergy who speak truth to power will be hamstrung to the detriment of the society.
“Our major concern is the security implications and the fate of his flocks who are mostly the downtrodden who may find it difficult to go to Emene for salvation and healing.
“We frown at anything which will put Fr. Mbaka in harms way or deny his flocks healing.”
“As a party, we have watched with concern and trepidation the criticism, attack, assault and unpleasant comments hurled at Fr. Mbaka since he providentially prophesied that President Buhari would win the 2015 elections.
“Even the Church did not spare him, he was called unprintable names, yet his prophecy came true. We are happy that Fr. Mbaka was vindicated.
“It must be pointed out that accusing fingers were pointed at the direction of some anti-Buhari elements like Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a group that didn’t want to hear the name of Buhari – even though Ohanaeze denied the allegation, doubt still persists.
“For we are still at a loss why a senior priest will be demoted to an assistant parish priest.
“We repeat that we are in solidarity with Fr. Mbaka and our major concern is the security of Fr. Mbaka and the suffering of his flocks, mostly the poor who need his healing powers.
“We had thought that His Lordship Bishop Calistus Onaga could have retained him at the Adoration Ground, as the Bishop Emeritus Gbuji did because of security of his life and easy access by his flocks,” he was quoted to have said.

Anti-graft: President Buhari says judiciary is his major headache
– President Buhari lists judiciary as his major headache
– Wants urgent reforms for the sector
– Assures Nigerians of continuous fight against corruption and overhaul of the judiciary
President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed his biggest headache in the battle against corruption in the country.
The Nigerian president, who spoke on Sunday, January 31, 2016, through his special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, noted that the nation’s judiciary remains his major headache.
According to The Punch, Buhari disclosed that his travails in courts up to the level of the Supreme Court in his three previous attempts at becoming the President showed clearly that the judiciary needs urgent reforms.
“On the fight against corruption vis-à-vis the judiciary, Nigerians will be right to say that is my main headache for now.
“If you reflect on what I went through for 12 years when I wanted to be the President, I attempted three times and on the fourth attempt through God and the use of technology, it was possible for Nigerians to elect an APC candidate as President.
“In my first attempt in 2003, I ended up at the Supreme Court and for 13 months I was in court. The second attempt in 2007, I was in court close to 20 months and in 2011, my third attempt, I was also in court for nine months.
“All these cases went up to the Supreme Court until the fourth time in 2015, when God agreed that I will be President of Nigeria,” he stated.
He however, assured that with the support of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, Nigeria’s judicial administration system would receive massive boost.
Meanwhile, Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa state has warned the federal government against majoring in minor, advising President Buhari against concentrating on political conquest other than the things which affect Nigerians as a whole.
Dickson said that there is an insufficiency and insensitivity that thrives within the federal government, a problem which he says stems from the team put together by President Buhari to manage the affairs of the nation.

“Some of the livestock are smuggled to the neighboring countries of Chad, Niger and Cameroun Republic.”
He concluded by urging the military to deploy more troops to areas where Boko Haram attacks are still ongoing.
“I’m also appealing to the Federal and Borno State Governments to consider assisting the cattle breeders in their rehabilitation and resettlement program for terrorism victims in the North East,” he said, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Kashim Shettima, should come to the aid of cattle breeders ameliorate their sufferings.
“We appeal to government rebuild our torched tents and huts, as well as reactivation of our water-points destroyed by the insurgents, while attacking Fulani settlements and hamlets.”
