First Class Graduate Killed By Policeman Over Girlfriend: No Justice One Year Later

Thirty-year-old first class graduate of Economics from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Moses Murtala Aminu was shot dead by a constable with the Nigeria Police. Moses had on Sunday, left his No. 67 Ahmadu Ahidjo Street, Narayi High Cost family residence for a party in Barnawa, Kaduna State.

According to his friend and eyewitness, the police constable who was identified as Alex Okpe was beating up Aminu’s girlfriend outside the party venue when he tried to intervene. At that point, the constable got angry, reached for his jeans trousers, brought out his gun and fired, killing Aminu on the spot. The constable also shot in the air as he escaped on his motorcycle.

Two men are being accused of allegedly plotting to murder Ferguson's Chief of Police Tom Jackson and St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Ali Davis (pictured above) allegedly purchased a fake pipe bomb and were trying to purchase two bombs when they were discovered. The bomb which was meant to be placed at the St. Louis' Gateway Arch had been targeted at the two Ferguson officials for their roles in the Mike Brown/Darren Wilson case.

He must be devastated. The ball he threw killed another man. 22 year old Bowler Sean Abbott, whose bouncer hit Philip Hughes in a freak accident on November 25th pictured above being comforted as he left St Vincent's Hospital today after the 25 year old was confirmed dead.

I thought it was strange that during his ABC interview he said he felt his life was threatened by unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Asked why, officer Wilson said because Michael was big. Thing is, he's as big as the teenager so when he said he had no other choice but kill to him when Michael supposedly came charging at him, he goofed. Read what Piers wrote about it all on MailOnline

We reported the case to the police men who where driving past, they just told us to go and meet the policeman and drove off, left us to our fate". See the photos after the cut...

Speaking on how they first met while they were at the Rivers state College of Education where she was pursuing her Nigerian Certificate of Education (NCE) and B.Ed while he was a lecture at the department of Biological science, First Lady Patience Jonathan said what attracted him to her was his religious background, and good looks..

Officer Darren Wilson says he has a clear conscience over the shooting death of Michael Brown, and would do it again if he finds himself in the same situation.

He spoke with ABC's George Stephanopoulos and said that if it'd been a white person he still would have fired his gun, that race had nothing to do with it. He said Brown had reached into his patrol car and attempted to grab his gun, and the teen had charged at him which is when he began shooting.

Some of the things this police officer said are unbelievable. Literally. Watch the interview after the cut
