London as Miss Adelaide in Guys And Dolls she admitted she hopes the 
part of the hypochondriac night club performer will allow audiences to 
see what she is capable of as an actress.<br />

"<i>In Guys And Dolls of course there is so much comedy and 
sass with the numbers, but there are some real heartbreaking moments</i>," 
she said.<br />

"The thing about Miss Adelaide and when I just saw the 
lovely Samantha Spiro, who I'm replacing, I saw her performance and it's
 so heartbreaking in moments so it would be interesting to see how the 
audience reacts in those more dramatic bits.<br />

"<i>Sometimes in movies you don't get the chance to show that 
range because you are just playing the funny friend or the Australian 
girl and so hopefully people will see me in a different light from doing
 stuff like this and looking for the right dramatic movie</i>."<br />

Despite Wilson's hankering to be taken more seriously, the 
26-year-old revealed she can't help but improvise during scenes for Guys
 And Dolls.<br />

"<i>You're supposed to stick the the formula in the West End, 
do it the same every night, but there is something in-built in me that I
 can't really do that - like the professionals!</i>" she laughed.<br />

"<i>I kind of want to sneak in some cheeky jokes and I will be doing that</i>."</div>

commitment to carry out effective reforms in the civil service to make 
it more result-oriented and respectable.<br />

He, therefore, warned politicians to leave civil servants out of 
politics and also called on the civil servants not to allow themselves 
to be used by politicians in the furtherance of their political 
ambitions.<br />

The governor, who spoke through the state Commissioner for 
Information and Orientation, Jonathan Obuebite, said those were part of 
his charge to permanent secretaries, directors and heads of departments 
of various ministries, departments and agencies during a meeting in 
Yenagoa.<br />

The Governor, who commended the top hierarchy of the civil service 
for supporting the ongoing reforms in the service, said whatever the 
government was doing, was purely to properly reposition the service to 
function effectively in line with best practices.<br />

Dickson, who said the permanent secretaries, directors and HODs were 
unanimous in their support for the ongoing reforms in the service, noted
 that the reform would go a long way in enthroning a civil service that 
would be apolitical, disciplined and focused.<br />

While commending Dickson for adhering to the age-long order of 
seniority and succession in the civil service, against what prevailed in
 the recent past, the top civil servants declared their support for the 
six-month extension of the tenure of the Head of Service, Dr. Peter 
Singabele.

plenary on a major roundabout in Okesa to protest what they said was a 
witch-hunt against Governor Ayodele Fayose by the Federal Government.<br />

The legislators conducted their business under a canopy while the 
area was cordoned off by a detachment of armed policemen who blocked one
 side of the two lanes.<br />

They accused Lagos lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) and Special Adviser to 
the President on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, of being the brains 
behind a plot to remove Fayose from office.<br />

They claimed that both Falana and Ojudu had ambitions of becoming the governor of the state.<br />

The Speaker of the Assembly, Kola Oluwawole, said the lawmakers 
embarked on the “<i>sit out to tell the whole world that we are determined 
and resolute to support Fayose.”</i><br />

He alleged that 10 of the legislators had been listed for arrest on 
Thursday based on “<i>trumped-up charge of not having valid certificates to
 contest election as Assembly members</i>”.<br />

He added, “No amount of blackmail will make us to do dirty job, we 
are calling on the APC led government to leave Fayose alone. The 
freezing of his account is condemnable.<br />

“<i>We are aware of plans to arrest 10 members of Ekiti State House of 
Assembly, we are ready for arrest. We stand by Fayose, enough is enough.
 Let there be peace in Ekiti, let Abuja leave Fayose alone</i>.”<br />

The Committee Chairman on Health, Samuel Omotoso, accused the Federal
 Government of “<i>flippancy and double standards</i>” in its prosecution of 
anti-corruption war, saying the legislators were ready for arrest.<br />

“<i>There are double standards and flippancy in the so-called 
anti-corruption war. When you are in PDP, you are a demon but when you 
run to APC, you become a saint</i>,” he said

<div class="story__intro">
A 26-year-old man has been found guilty of burgling pop star Rita Ora's home in a raid worth more than £200,000.</div>
Charaf Elmoudden went to the singer's four-bedroom house in 
northwest London on 28 November last year and made off with a stash of 
expensive shoes, phones, computers and a designer bag, Harrow Crown 
Court heard.<br />

The former X Factor judge called the police and said she 
would "f*** up" the burglar after he woke her sister Elena up rifling 
through her bedroom.<br />

Ora and her sister were asleep upstairs at the semi-detached
 home they share with their parents when two men broke in to the 
three-storey house.<br />

Elmoudden and an accomplice allegedly made off with designer
 goods and electronics which included iPhones, Apple Mac computers, a 
Fifty Shades Of Grey handbag worth £2,682 and a Louis Vuitton bag, the 
court heard.<br />

He was picked out in a line-up by Elena three months after the burglary, jurors were told.<br />

Elena told the jury she confronted an intruder and he "<i>looked dead in my eyes</i>".<br />

Ora gave evidence from behind a screen during the trial and the court was also played a frantic 999 call from the star.<br />

In it, she sobbed "I don't have a knife" and threatened to kill the thieves.<br />

She was heard screaming "<i>Don't you f****** come up these 
stairs. I will f*** you up - you</i> <i>f****** hear me</i>?" after locking herself
 in her room with her sister.<br />

Elmoudden has a number of previous convictions including for trying to sell pictures of the body of a dead Harry Potter actor.<br />

He had denied being involved in the burglary but police

arrest in January.<br />

He was found guilty with a majority verdict of 10 to two of burglary.<br />

Ora was not present at court for the verdict.<br />

conditions of Internally Displaced Persons Camps in Borno State.<br />

The Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari, met with the 
state governor, Ibrahim Shettima, on behalf of President Muhammadu 
Buhari.<br />

Shettima attended the meeting with some unidentified officials of his government.<br />

The meeting which lasted less than hour was held in the Chief of Staff’s office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.<br />

At the end of the meeting, Shettima did not speak with State House correspondents who approached him for comments.<br />

“<i>No, it was just a private meeting</i>,” the governor simply said as he made his way to his waiting car.<br />

There have been reports of cases of malnourished children and deaths at the IDP camps in the state.<br />

The humanitarian aid organisation, Doctors Without Borders (Médecins 
Sans Frontières), had last week released a statement alongside 
photographs stating that about 24,000 IDPs were in dire health situation
 with at least 30 people, mostly children dying every day.<br />

President Muhammadu Buhari was said to have been angry at the report.<br />

He was said to have regretted that such development could happen in 
the camps despite billions of naira spent by the different levels of 
government as well as donor agencies and philanthropists.<br />

Shettima had alleged that some Non-Governmental Organisations were 
taking huge advantage of the pains of IDPs in the state and defrauding 
foreign philanthropists under the guise of trying to help victims of the
 Boko Haram insurgency.</div>

IPOB elders disown Niger Delta Avengers, MASSOB

Wednesday disowned the Niger Delta Avengers and Movement for the 
Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra.<br />

“<i>Preachers of violence might be infants or non-existent during the 30 months Nigerian civil war,</i>” the IPOB elders said.<br />

The Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Indigenous People 
of Biafra, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, said this in Nnewi, Anambra State during a
 news briefing.<br />

Ikedife was reacting to claims by some leaders of IPOB and the 
Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign state of Biafra that the 
groups were aligning with Niger Delta avengers and other militants.<br />

Ikedife said there was no such thing, adding that he saw the Biafra 
war from beginning to the end and witnessed how millions of people, 
especially from the South East were slaughtered and property worth 
billions of pounds destroyed because of the struggle for 
self-determination.<br />

He said nobody in his right senses would talk about a repeat of the 
30-month pogrom that inflicted pain and sorrow on almost every family in
 the land.<br />

He insisted that he would certainly not support any war because any 
life lost would not be replaced, but properties could be replaced.<br />

The ex-Ohanaeze national president said, “The IPOB group I belong to 
is governed by the Supreme Council of Elders. There is a faction led by 
Nnamdi Kanu that abuses the elders, preaches violence and ethnic hatred.<br />

“<i>We do not believe in that. The MASSOB led by Ralph Uwazuruike, from 
inception, preaches non-violence based on the non-violence philosophy of

“If the militants have been blowing up pipelines, I don’t see how my 
group that has been following legal and diplomatic process will align 
with them. We have quite a different philosophy and modus 
operandi towards the issue of self-determination.<br />

“The two factions of the Indigenous People of Biafra and two factions
 of MASSOB are all talking about self-determination of the indigenous 
people of Biafra. But their approach is not the same.<br />

“<i>The aim may be one but the method differs. We have not and cannot 
depart from dialogue, legal and diplomatic process and of course you 
know we are in court with the Federal Government over this issue of 
self-determination</i>.”

The Nigeria Labour Congress has withdrawn the strike notice it 
serviced on six commercial banks over the mass sacking of workers and 
redundancy in the banking sector on June 15, 2016.<br />

The President of the NLC, Mr. Ayuba Wabba, said during a joint press 
briefing with the Director-General of the Nigeria Employers’ 
Consultative Assembly, Dr. Abiodun Oshinowo, that the decision was taken
 after a productive meeting of Labour and NECA in Abuja on Wednesday.<br />

Wabba said that it was agreed that all hostilities including the 
strike notice should be put on hold to await the outcome of a meeting 
proposed by the Ministry of Labour and Employment.<br />

He explained that the leadership of the NLC had been briefed by its 
affiliate union, the National Union of Banks, Insurance, and Financial 
Institutions Employees, on the extent of its engagement with the 
affected banks on the contentious issues.<br />

He said that the meeting dwelt on the process, the procedure and the 
position of law on the declaration of redundancy, non-unionisation of 
workers and the payment of protection fees by some of the banks and 
agreed that the issues be taken to the Federal Government’s meeting for 
resolution.<br />

Tensions are rising 
in Lebanon as security is stepped up in the wake of a double wave of 
suicide bombings near the Syrian border.<br />

On Monday, the northeastern town of Al-Qaa was hit by two separate 
attacks involving eight suicide bombers within the space of a day, 
leaving five dead and dozens injured.<br />

Since then, amid reports of recently-thwarted plots emerging in the 
wake of the blast, the government has warned that the bombings could 
represent a new phase of violence against a country already struggling 
to cope with the overspill of the Syrian war.

 is under scrutiny at the U.N. Human Rights Council over the objections 
and anger of that country’s government. The council said it is alarmed 
at the rise in rights violations in Burundi since last year’s political 
crisis. It wants the violations to stop, because it fears an ethnic 
conflict with devastating consequences for all of central Africa.<br />

The United Nations and the government of Burundi have polar opposite 
views on what is happening in the country, a year after President Pierre
 Nkurunziza was elected to what his critics call an unconstitutional 
third term.<br />
  While the government accused the U.N. of a campaign of distortion, 
U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra-ad al-Hussein expressed great concern 
over the terrible reality that is playing out.<br />
In a report submitted to the U.N. Human Rights Council, Zeid accused 
Burundi government agents and associated militia of killings, 
disappearances and arbitrary arrests. He said he is alarmed at the 
prospect of an escalation in ethnic violence.<br />
“<i>In the past six weeks, a number of members of the defunct armed Forces 
of Burundi, or ex-FAB, have been murdered, possibly because of their 
Tutsi ethnicity. In the south of the country, I have also been informed 
of speeches by members of the Imbonerakure amounting to incitement to 
violence against political opponents, with strong ethnic overtones</i>,” 
said Zeid.<strong></strong><br />  
Given Burundi’s history of conflict between Hutus and Tutsis, the high 
commissioner warned the acts of incitement are potentially explosive. 
Willy Nyamitwe, a senior adviser to the president of Burundi, rejected 
accusations that the Imbonerakure, the ruling party’s youth wing, is 
spreading hate speech and attacking people.<br />

He said that the group is not a militia.<br />

“<i>They do not have weapons. They are not killing people. But, you can 
see when you go through these reports that even the High Commissioner is
 saying it is a militia that is intimidating people, killing citizens, 
but without giving evidences. We need facts. So when there is no fact, 
there is flying rumors</i>,” stated Nyamitwe.<br />  
Nyamitwe accused Rwanda and Belgium of trying to destabilize Burundi by 
manipulating organizations, such as the International Crisis Group and 
Human Rights Watch.<br />
“<i>Some reports are really biased and it is a huge campaign of distortion 
and fabrication and lies that have been spread over the internet…Burundi
 is not the first country in Africa that has been destabilized by some 
powers that are working for regime change," he added. "Everything that 
has been said about mass killings, about genocide against Tutsi were 
wrong.</i>” <br />  
The high commissioner’s spokeswoman, Cecile Pouilly, agreed that 
genocide is a very specific and powerful term that should not be used 
lightly. However, she disagreed with Nyamitwe’s contention that the high
 commissioner’s report is not based on fact. <br />
She said that U.N. human rights monitors are in contact with a large
 network of people. She said they carefully document all the information
 they receive.<br />
“<i>What we observe is a number of extra-judicial executions going down. At
 the same time, we see a number of human rights violations going up. 
Other trends--including a number of arbitrary arrests, arbitrary 
detentions, and very worrying an increase in the use of torture and 
ill-treatment, especially in detention facilities run by the Service 
Nationale de Renseignement—intelligence agency, if you want—the police 
and the army,</i>” Pouilly said.<br />

She said grenade attacks against the police and army are increasing. 
People continue to be displaced within the country and as refugees in 
neighboring countries.<br />

“<i>And the crisis that is going on right now in Burundi, has been 
ongoing for months right now, is affecting the whole region," explained 
Pouilly. "And, the high commissioner has on many occasions warned 
against the risk of destabilization for the entire region</i>.”<br />  
The International Criminal Court recently said it will open a 
preliminary examination into violence in Burundi. U.N. rights chief Zeid
 welcomes that. He is urging the authorities to bring all those 
responsible for crimes to justice, and for the country to resolve its 
crisis through an inclusive national dialogue.

41 dead, 239 wounded in Istanbul attack

 officials have said 41 people were killed and 239 others were injured 
in Tuesday night’s triple suicide bombing at Ataturk Airport in 
Istanbul.<br />

Among the dead were 13 foreign nationals.<br />

An Iranian and a Ukrainian have been confirmed as the first foreign 
victims in the Istanbul airport suicide attack, a Turkish official said 
Wednesday.<br />

“I confirm one Iranian and one Ukrainian national have been killed in
 yesterday’s terror attack,” the official told reporters on condition of
 anonymity.<br />

Prime Minister Binali Yildrim had said early Wednesday that 36 people
 were killed, but the figure has now risen according to officials.<br />

Iran’s <em>Tasnim</em> news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister 
Hassan Qashqavi as saying five Iranian nationals had been injured in 
addition to the person killed.<br />

Turkey has blamed Islamic State jihadists for the suicide bombing and gun attack at Istanbul’s main international airport.<br />

Witnesses described scenes of terror and panic as the attackers 
opened fire and then blew themselves up at the entrance to the 
international arrivals terminal at the Ataturk airport, one of Europe’s 
busiest hubs.<br />

The assault, at the start of Turkey’s crucial summer tourist season, 
was the deadliest of four attacks to rock the country’s biggest city 
this year.<br />

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Tuesday’s carnage 
but Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said “the evidence points to Daesh”, 
using another name for the jihadist group.<br />

Yildirim told reporters at the scene that the dead included foreigners.<br />

The attack prompted the suspension of all flights at the airport, but operations were resuming on Wednesday with some delays.<br />

<figure class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_70507" style="width: 4000px;"><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"></figcaption></figure>Bodies covered with sheets at the 
terminal, which suffered considerable damage but was being repaired on 
Wednesday.<br />

Bullet holes peppered the windows and shattered glass lay on the floor, while abandoned luggage was scattered everywhere.<br />

Hundreds of police and firefighters including forensic officers were at the scene.<br />

“Somebody came and shot at us and then my sister ran,” Otfah Mohamed Abdullah told <em>AFP</em>.<br />

“I don’t know which way she ran and after that I fell down. I was on 
the ground till he (the gunman) stopped… I can’t find my sister.”<br />

“Everybody started running in different directions when the shooting 
started. I hid under the counter where I was standing and a couple of 
the ground staff did the same,” South African university administrator 
Judy Favish told eNCA television in her home country.<br />

Favish said she and other travellers were ushered to the basement before emerging about two hours later.<br />

“We walked through the airport and saw debris and blood. It was just chaos. It was horrible.”<br />

There was chaos at the nearest hospital in Istanbul’s Bakirkoy 
district, which was inundated with relatives desperate for news of loved
 ones.

former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, and two others in prison 
over an alleged fraud of N4.6bn.<br />

Justice Suleiman Hassan gave the remand order shortly after 
Fani-Kayode, Nenadi Usman and Danjuma Yusuf were arraigned before him by
 the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.<br />

The judge said the three accused persons were to remain in the prison
 custody pending the determination of their bail applications, the 
hearing of which has been fixed for July 1, 2016.<br />

Joined with Fani-Kayode, Usman and Yusuf in the 17 counts filed by 
the EFCC was a company, Joint Trust Dimension Nigeria Limited.<br />

The charges bordered on conspiracy, unlawful retention of proceeds of theft and money laundering.<br />

Fani-Kayode, who was the spokesperson for former President Goodluck 
Jonathan’s campaign organisation in the 2015 general election, was 
accused of conspiring with the others to directly and indirectly retain 
various sums which the EFCC claimed they ought to have reasonably known 
were proceeds of them.<br />

The accused persons were said to have allegedly committed the 
offences between January 8, 2015 and March 25, 2015 in the build-up to 
the general election.<br />

In one of the counts, the EFCC alleged that Fani-Kayode, who it 
listed as the seconnd defendant in the charge sheet, and his 
co-defendants conspired among themselves to “indirectly  retain the sum 
of N1,500, 000,000.00, which sum you reasonably ought to have known 
forms part of the proceeds of an unlawful act to wit: stealing.”<br />

The EFCC prosecutor, Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo, told the court that the said
 conspiracy and indirect retention of the N1.5bn constituted an offence 
under Section 18(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) 
Act, 2012, punishable under Section 15(3)( 4) of the same Act.<br />

In another count, the EFCC alleged that Fani-Kayode “directly 
retained the sum of N350m,” which the anti-graft agency claimed that he 
ought to have “reasonably known formed part of the proceeds of an 
unlawful act to wit: stealing.”<br />

Fani-Kayode was accused of directly using parts of the money at 
various times, including a N250,650,000.00, which he allegedly used 
between March 20 and 25, 2015.<br />

Fani-Kayode was also accused of making a cash transaction of N24m 
with one Olubode Oke, said to still be at large, on February 12, 2015 
“to Paste Poster Co of 125, Lewis Street, Lagos Island.”<br />

The duo were said to have made the transaction without going through 
any financial institution an act the EFCC claimed was contrary to 
sections 1(a) and 16(d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) 
(Amendment) Act, 2012 and punishable  under Section 16(2)(b) of the same
 Act.<br />
<strong>‘Not guilty’</strong><br />

Upon reading the charges to them on Tuesday, all the accused persons pleaded not guilty.<br />

Counsel for Fani-Kayode, Mr. Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), and that of 
Usman, Mr. S.I. Ameh (SAN), subsequently informed the court that they 
had filed applications for the bail of their clients.<br />

On his own part, Yusuf’s counsel, Mr. Fred Orbih, who also indicated 
his plan to apply for his client’s bail, however, said he had yet to do 
so.<br />

In a short ruling, Justice Hassan adjourned the case till July 1 for hearing of the three bail applications.<br />

The judge however, ordered the remand of the accused persons in the prison custody.<br />

The EFCC listed 17 witnesses that will testify against the defendants when the trial commences.
