Kenya 0-1 Nigeria: Ahmed Musa goal stuns Harambee Stars in Nairobi

• Kenya’s hopes of reaching 2014 World Cup final in Brazil were dashed on Wednesday after winger Ahmed Musa scored a late goal to silence Stars
  
  Nigeria winger Ahmed Musa scored a late goal to dim Kenya’s hopes of reaching the 2014 World Cup final to be held in Brazil after the Super Eagles won 1-0 at Kasarani on Wednesday .
  Musa latched onto a through ball from John Obi Mikel to beat his marker David ‘Cheche’ Ochieng’ before beautiful chipping the ball over the advancing goalkeeper Duncan Ochieng’ in Kenyan goal.
  The win now takes Nigeria back to the top of Group F with 8 points while Malawi are second on six after battling to a 0-0 draw with Namibia in a match played in Blantyre earlier on Wednesday.
  Kenya, who had win to keep alive their hopes of gracing the World Cup final, started the match badly with defender Brian Mandela almost handing the visitors a quick goal in the 1st minute of the match.
  The South African-based defender failed to deal with a loose ball after restart allowing Nigerian striker Brian Ideye to charge forward but the Super Eagles’ star could not find the back of the net with keeper Ochieng’ to beat.
  Five minutes later, Musa Ahmed beat the Kenyan defense but his attempt to pick out an advancing Sunday Mba was blocked by Brian Mandela.
  The Kenyans were having a great time in midfield and Oman-based Jamal Mohammed was showing some awesome creativity though he appeared self-fish sometimes.
  In the 10th minute with Kepha Aswani advancing towards the Nigerian goal, Mohammed hesitated and allowed the Nigerian defense to recover lost ground.
  One minute later, Nigeria had their first free-kick which Chelsea star John Obi Mikel lifting it high towards the Kenyan goal and rested on the side netting.
  Duncun Ochieng in goal threw the ball quickly to a running Victor Wanyama but he failed to keep it into play. In the 13th minute, the visitors got their second free-kick just near the Kenyan goal but Musa Ahmed’s shot was defended well.
  Kenya got the first corner in the 24th minute when Francis Kahata efforts to beat Efe Ambrose in the Nigerian defense ended in vain.
  Ambrose was forced to come out and stop Kahata once again in the 29th minute after Jamal Mohammed had picked him out with a splitting pass but Stars could only get a corner from the effort.
  Kepha Aswani making his return to the Kenyan team after a long time was a pale shadow of himself and he looked injured as he time and again limped. He never made any effort at goal allowing Vincent Enyeama to have a long rest in the first half.
  Nigeria got their first corner of the match in the 34th minute when a goal bound Musa Ahmed was stopped in his tracks by David Ochieng.
  Four minutes later, Ahmed’s shot was deflected by Mandela and calmly picked by Duncun Ochieng’, who made a throw to Johanna Omollo and he made the first attempt at goal but his effort was stopped by Vincent Enyeama.
  The Kenyans were gaining confidence as the first half wore off and Peter Opiyo made the second shot at the Nigerian goal in the 39th minute.
  Nigeria got their second corner in the 43rd minute but it was the home team who ended the first half on a high note with Victor Wanyama coming close only to shoot wide.
  The worst would come with less that 15 minutes left to play, Stephen Waruru giving away possession cheaply in the opponent’s third, a counter attack resulting in Ahmed Musa lifting the ball over an advancing Duncun Ochieng.

Police officer arrested for forcing jailed woman to perform oral sex on him

When someone is arrested and taken to a police station holding cell, the suspect is under complete control of police officers.

One deputy took advantage of his power over a 34-year-old woman who was arrested for burglary.

Lamar McIntyre, 34, a deputy at the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office in Maryland, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman while she was awaiting a court hearing.

McIntyre was arrested after he allegedly forced a female detainee to strip naked and perform oral sex on him while she was waiting for her court hearing, according to the police report.

Now the woman filed a $15 million lawsuit against deputy McIntyre. According to the lawsuit, the woman was detained in the county jail when McIntyre allegedly took the woman to an isolated cell and then ordered her to undress.

McIntyre, who was on duty and wearing his uniform, ordered the woman to perform oral sex on him. McIntyre then proceeded to have sex with the woman, leaving twice during the assault to respond to radio calls.

Both times when McIntyre left the cell he ordered the woman to stand naked until he returned to continue the assault. McIntyre supposedly ended the assault by ejaculating on the woman and taking pictures of her naked.

Then the woman was taken to the court hearing, where she faced charges of theft and burglary. She reported the sexual assault when she returned from the hearing.

Investigators recovered forensic evidence from the assault and questioned the deputy about the incident. McIntyre allegedly admitted to the incident, but insisted it was consensual. McIntyre was arrested and booked on charges of second-degree rape. He has been suspended without pay while awaiting trial in the case.

US puts $7m bounty on Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau

Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau

The United States  has made good its promise to help Nigeria end terrorism by offering a  $7m (N1.1bn) reward to persons with information on the whereabouts of the  leader of  militant islamist sect, Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau.

The  $7m  is part of the $23m   posted on Monday  by the US State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme in rewards to help track down four other leaders of militant groups such as Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb spreading terror in West Africa.
Up to $5m was posted for Al-Qaeda veteran Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the one-eyed Islamist behind the devastating attack on an Algerian gas plant in January in which 37 persons,  including three Americans, were killed.
A further $5m was offered for top AQIM leader Yahya   Al-Hammam, reportedly involved in the 2010 murder of an elderly French hostage in Niger Republic.
Malik  Abdelkarim, a senior fighter with AQIM, and Oumar Ould Hamaha, the spokesman for Mali’s Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, were also targeted by the rewards which will give up to $3m each for information leading to their arrests.
The bounties  which the Federal Government described as a welcome development,  acknowledged the growing links between AQIM and Nigeria’s Boko Haram, which is under pressure from a military offensive.
A senior  US State Department official, who made this known to the Agence France Presse on Monday  said, “They’ve had a relationship for some time. They send people back and forth for training, they’ve done the provision of arms back and forth.
“The links are… not quite as solid as some of the other terrorist organisations,” he said. “Nonetheless, it’s a dangerous link and it’s something that we feel we should try and stop.”
 Shekau had last week called on Islamists in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq to join the bloody fight to create an Islamic state in Nigeria.
In a video obtained by AFP last week, he claimed Boko Haram forces had made significant gains against the Nigerian Army while sustaining little damage since the start of the military offensive on May 15.
“Under his leadership, Boko Haram’s capability has certainly grown,”  the official, who asked not to be named   added.
He highlighted how the group set off “their first improvised explosive device in early June 2011. By August (2011) they used a car bomb against the United Nations facility,” an attack which killed 25 people.
“When we see someone like this who… is actually leading to an increase in the capability of an organisation, that’s something that we would naturally try to see if we can do something to impede,” he added.
Shekau’s whereabouts could not be determined in the video, in which he was shown seated and dressed in camouflage and a turban, with an AK-47 at his side.
His comments contradicted  statements from the military, which claimed major successes during the offensive, including the destruction of Boko Haram camps and dozens of arrests.
Shekau was placed on a US blacklist last year, but Boko Haram has yet to be designated a foreign terrorist organisation – an absence which has raised eyebrows among regional experts.
The US department official also  told the AFP  that the  “AQIM has been increasingly active in the North and West Africa. They’re one of the pre-eminent kidnap for ransom groups in the terrorist world now.”
“They cause us a great deal of concern. Anything that we can do naturally to cut down on the capabilities of AQIM, anything that we can do to get information on these people so that we can get them in front of a court… That is our goal,” he added.
The US has been increasingly worried about the spread of Islamist groups in   Mali and across the vast and lawless Sahel since a military coup ousted the government in Bamako.
Former colonial power France had led a military offensive in January against the militants in Mali’s northern desert. The West African nation prepares for presidential elections on July 28.
There are fears however that the spread of militant groups risks destabilising the entire West African region.
Belmokhtar, who was a senior commander for AQIM, broke away from the group last year to set up his own group dubbed the “Signatories in Blood.”
Branded “the Uncatchable,” Belmokhtar also personally supervised the operational plans for the twin car bombings in Niger that killed at least 20 people late last month, according to a spokesman for his group.
In Abuja, the Federal Government through the presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, said the $7m bounty on   Shekau was  a positive development.
  “We welcome any effort by the international community to support Nigeria’s  effort at waging war against terrorism and its perpetrators. What this proves is that terrorism is a global phenomenon that requires global effort at combating it. Nigeria believes that the international community needs to come together to combat terrorism, “ Abati told journalists.
