“The vehicles are already being procured as we speak and the motorcycles will follow by God’s grace,” he said. El-Rufa’i charged the police to work harder, be honest and maintain good reputation in order to earn the respect of most Nigerians who view them in bad light.

“Our job as government is to see that we provide you with the tools and the environment to work.

Timaya denies rape, says US-basedaccuser is blackmailing him

So I have reached out to Timaya to hear his side of the story and he denies rape.

Speaking exclusively with LIB, Timaya said it was consensual sex and the girl is now black mailing him.

Timaya admitted that he hooked up with the girl (pictured above) in his Atlanta hotel, but says she agreed to the sex.

He said the girl, who he has been talking to for about a year, contacted him when she found out he was in the US for his tour and bugged him to see him.

He told her where he was and she came to see him. He said from the minute she entered the room, she started filming him.

He said after they finished having sex, the girl continued filming him and began asking him questions.

He said she asked him if he enjoyed the sex and he said yes, then she asked him if she could follow him to his show and he said no that he's working...but that she could come later and he would tell his people to let her in.

She then told him that they didn't use a condom, what if she gets pregnant?

Timaya said he told her that he didn't want another baby, that he just got a baby.

Timaya said she continued asking him questions until he became very suspicious and dragged her phone from her.

That was when he realized that the girl had been filming him the whole time.

He said he deleted the photos/video recordings and asked her what her intentions/plans were? He gave her back her phone and then realized that for I phones, you have to delete twice before it will be completely wiped off.

He then asked her for the phone and she refused to give it to him so he called hotel security.

The hotel security came to the room and asked the lady why she was filming Timaya and she said it was nothing serious, just for fun.

Timaya asked the hotel security to remove the girl from his room but only after the lady has deleted the video recordings.

The hotel security advised Timaya to let the girl go, that if she calls the police and tells them he's holding her hostage, it's a crime in the US.

That was how he let her go. Timaya said at no point did she tell security that she had been raped when he called security on her.

And after she left, she began calling to threaten him, saying she would mess him up and ruin his career for taking things far and calling security on her.

He said she called him again demanding for money to take herself to the hospital.

He said he left money by the reception for her and she came to collect it.

Then she called again to harass him. When she continued harassing and threatening him, he began begging her because she'd already called someone in Nigeria that he was close to accusing him of rape.

She told the dude that for her to keep quiet, Timaya has to pay her $50,000 or she will publish their recordings.

He said he was begging her to stop the blackmail and not because of any rape.

He said when the girl refused to stop, he changed his US number, blocked her on Whatsapp, and instagram so she could no longer reach him for bargain and that was when she created the account on instagram to carry out her threat.

Syrian army ambushes 40 rebels in Lebanese borders

As many as 40 rebels were killed Saturday in a Syrian military ambush at a contested city near the Lebanese borders, the state news agency SANA reported.

The Syrian army and the Lebanese Hezbollah fighters ambushed the militants, who were attempting to sneak into the city of Zabadani from its slops, the report said.

Meanwhile, the Syrian army and its allied Hezbollah fighters continued their offensive to recapture Zabadani, northwest of the capital Damascus and near the Lebanese borders, managing to storm the city from its southern part and advance toward its center.

The government forces’ battle aims at clearing the city and the entire region of Qalamoun of the Nusra Front and its allied militants, who used the city as a conduit to smuggle militants and weapons from Lebanon into the western countryside of Damascus.

Winning the battle by the Syrian forces and Hezbollah would shield the Lebanese borders of the threat of the Nusra Front, amid reports that most of the blasts that targeted Lebanon recently were planned by the rebels in Syria and the cars were booby-trapped in Qalamoun.

DSS Detains Ex-NSA Sambo Dasuki

Former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki was detained on July 16, Thursday by Department of State Services (DSS) personnel.

As Naij.com reports earlier DSS operatives in four Hilux vans, ruled by Mohammed, stormed Dasuko’s private residence in Abuja at about 6:40pm and laid siege on in, insisting on seeing Dasuki.

It was also learnt that something similar occurred in Sokoto, in the home belonged to ex- NSA’s father, Ibrahim Dasuki, a former Sultan of Sokoto, where some other SSS personnel also stormed the home seemingly in search of the retired colonel.

READ ALSO: Dasuki’s Houses Under Siege The soldiers reportedly have searched the re sidence, comprising a bid container that had been in the residence for many years.

They have shut down all occupants of the house and would not permit anyone in or out of the premises.

The siege of the one-time NSA’s home may not be separate from the media reports of an intended investigation of the defence budget and other supposed abuses of office by the immediate-past service chiefs who were fired this week.

The DSS operatives later in the night whisked away the former NSA to one of their facilities in Abuja for interrogation.

Later in the night security operatives took away Dasuki for questioning.

A security source confirmed the detention of ex- NSA, but the reason of the arrest is yet to be given.

One source close to Col Dasuki said:

“The ex- national security adviser was shocked that he was not contacted or invited for interaction on any issue.

Dasuki is suspecting that there is a motive to make him to spend the Sallah break in detention.

“As I am talking to you, neither the director- general of the DSS, Lawal Musa Daura, nor any of the operatives in his house has spoken with Dasuki.

All they wanted was for him to surrender.”

It would be recalled that Dasuki was sacked alongside with all security chiefs on July 13, Monday.
