PRESIDENT PIERRE NKURUNZIZA OF BURUNDI OVERTHROWN
“President Pierre Nkurunziza is removed from office, the government is dissolved,” General Niyombare said in the radio broadcast. “All people are asked to respect the lives and property of others,” he added. Niyombare is a highly respected figure who was sacked from his position as the central African nation’s powerful chief of intelligence in February. The general said on private radio that he was committed to the democratic process and would work with others towards holding elections.
He said he would form a “committee for the restoration of national harmony,” a temporary body whose “mission, among others, is the restoration of national unity… and the resumption of the electoral process in a peaceful and fair environment.” There was no immediate reaction from Nkurunziza, who was in neighbouring Tanzania to meet with leaders of the five-nation East African Community (EAC) — made up of Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda as well as Burundi — who are trying to mediate an end to the crisis.

Ex-IGP Abba removed for indiscipline in the force —Police Service Commission
The Police Service Commission explained, yesterday, that the former Inspector General of Police, Mr. Suleiman Abba was removed from office because of increasing cases of indiscipline in the rank and file of the force.
The explanation came on a day the Police Council confirmed Mr. Abba’s successor, Mr. Solomon Arase as the substantive Inspector General of Police.
The chairman of the Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro, who spoke with newsmen after the Council of State meeting, yesterday, said the President told members of the council that the former IGP was removed because of increased cases of insdicipline among the rank and file of the force.
His words: “I’m not part of the Presidency that removed him, so I cannot give adequate answer. Though at the meeting President Jonathan tried to explain to members, based on the question raised by one of the governors that Nigerians may want to know why the former IGP was removed.
“The President, who was very brief in his response said, during the period of the former IGP, a lot of indiscipline was noticed among the Police rank and file and as such he felt that a new IG should come and try his luck. That is what he said, though I cannot give details of that.”
Arase confirmed as IGP
The Police Council yesterday confirmed Mr Solomon Arase as the new Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
His confirmation came exactly three weeks when he was appointed Acting IGP on April 21 after President Goodluck Jonathan sacked former IGP Suleiman Abba.
Arase, who is the 18th IGP, is one of the fastest police bosses to be confirmed.
This is even as President Jonathan explained that Abba was sacked because the rank and file under him were very indisciplined.
AS SENATOR, I’LL EXPOSE ANYBODY THAT OFFERS BRIBE TO ME, MY COLLEAGUES – BEN BRUCE
Mr. Murray-Bruce is part of the eighth Senate due for inauguration early June.
He said as Senator, he will expose any offer of “Ghana-Must-Go” to him or his colleagues.
Ghana-Must-Go bags are commonly used to convey large sums of money in Nigeria.
“Not while I’m there!” he assured his over 15,000 followers. “I will expose ANYBODY that dares approach me or my colleagues with Ghana Must Go.”
The Senator-elect said the incoming administration of Muhammadu Buhari should patronise Made-in-Nigeria products and services.
Mr. Murray-Bruce, few days ago, was bashed by Nigerians on Twitter over his sudden anti-corruption crusade, following a series of tweets. He was criticised for being less vocal during the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan, believed to be characterised by corruption.
He currently uses the micro-blogging site to speak his mind and unveil some of his plans for the 8th National Assembly.
