Chukwudi Akasike, Port Harcourt

Gunmen suspected to be cultists stormed Oyorokoto community in Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers State and killed three persons.

The incident was said to have happened Sunday night barely 24 hours after a suspected cultist killed five indigenes of Ogbele community in Ahoada East LGA.


It was gathered that the killings in Oyorokoto community had created tension within the area, even as the local government council was said to have imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew to forestall a recurrence of the ugly incident.

The Caretaker Committee Chairman of Andoni Local Government Area, Mr. Ere Victor, told newsmen on Monday that the curfew was only imposed on those in Andoni mainland from Ngo town.

“The dusk-to-dawn curfew was imposed to prevent further deaths or reprisal. I have directed the security agencies to arrest perpetrators of this act as well as sponsors of these cultists in Andoni Local Government Area,” he added.

He promised to continue to work hard to ensure that lives and property of Andoni people were protected.

Your pictures have never looked better.  But even though Apple has upped the ante in terms of hardware, it's highly unlikely you'll upload a picture to social media without slightly altering at least some part of it.  Luckily, there are some great alternatives to settling for those basic Instagram filters or sticking to the built-in camera tools. Because every single one of us needs all the "likes" we can get. And because #nofilter is no longer a thing.  Here are six of the best iPhone photo-editing apps to d

Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready

  In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily , Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either. While both share the same parent company in Alphabet, these are two very different companies. In addition, as Verily noted in a statement it provided almost three hours after Trump made the announcement, this site isn’t quite ready yet. “Verily is developing a tool to help triage individuals for COVID-19 testing. We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more
