VIOLENCE IN CROSS RIVER LEAVES 30 DEAD INCLUDING VILLAGE RULER AND 4 POLICEMEN

30 people were allegedly killed while four police officers and the village head of Ntan Obu Ukpe in Eniong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State were beheaded in a communal clash between the Ntan Obu and the Ikpanya in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday. According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.

Charles Taylor, 64, the first former head of state to be convicted of war crimes since World War II was sentenced to 50 years in prison yesterday by an international court in The Hague, Netherlands. Taylor is due to serve his sentence at a high security prison in Britain. There is no death penalty in international criminal law. The six years he spent detained during the trial will count against his term. Meanwhile, he is appealing his conviction. Dressed in a blue suit and yellow tie, Taylor sat impassively through the roughly 45minute sentencing. Hands clasped in front of his mouth and brow furrowed, Taylor shifted uneasily when the camera broadcasting proceedings settled on him. He directed his gaze downward while Presiding Judge Richard Lussick read the sentencing statement, which began with a horror cabinet of carnage committed in Sierra Leone by rebels from the Revolutionary United Front, which the former president backed. "The accused has been found responsible for aiding an

CARDINAL OKOJIE RETIRES AS ARCHBISHOP OF LAGOS

Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okojie, Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos has retired from his seat at the age of 76 and has been replaced by Bishop Alfred Adewale Martins, who was the former bishop of Abeokuta diocese. Okojie, born in 1936 was ordained a priest of the Catholic church at the age of 33. Okojie who became archbishop in 1973 has served in various capacities. He once served as chaplain for the Nigerian army and an instructor at King's college. He was also one time president of the Christain Association Of Nigeria (CAN) and head of Bishop's conference. He was appointed cardinal by late Pope John Paul II in 2003 and was among the college of cardinals that selected the Pope Benedict XVI as present head of the Catholic church. You would recall I mentioned not so long ago that the archbishop was managing an illness, although no word has been said about his present condition, I just hope and pray he is healthy, hail and strong.

According to the singer's father he wasn't at his 100 percent best during his time on the show. "They've just seen a glimpse of what Phillip can do.
