Germany deports ISIS suspect to Nigeria

Germany has deported to Nigeria an alleged Islamic extremist, an ISIS suspect, deemed dangerous by authorities. He is a German citizen, not Nigerian.
The German news agency, dpa, reports that the 22-year-old man, who was born in Germany and who had not committed a crime, arrived in Lagos Thursday.
The unidentified man was one of two detained in February in Goettingen during an investigation of suspected attack plans. His partner is a 27-year-old Algerian. Both of them lived with their parents in Göttingen.
When the two men were picked up, investigators found two weapons, at least one of them a firearm that had been altered to fire live ammunition.
Also found were ammunition, flags of the Islamic State group and a machete.
The man deported to Nigeria is banned from entering Germany for life.
Following attacks by Islamic extremists last year, German authorities vowed to step up deportations of foreigners deemed to be threats.
The two men, according to www.dw.com, were arrested after being under surveillance for some time.
After their arrest, the German interior ministry requested their expulsion after classifying them as a threat to national security.
Their deportation has no precedence in German history.
“We are sending a clear warning to all fanatics nationwide that we will not give them a centimeter of space to carry out their despicable plans,” said Lower Saxony’s Interior Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) following the court ruling authorising the deportation
“They will face the full force of the law regardless of whether they were born here or not,” he added.
In the case of the Algerian, the court made his deportation conditional on assurances from the Algerian government that he would not be tortured or subjected to any inhuman treatment.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Posted By
Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
