SSS uncovers Iranian terror cell in Lagos

THE State Security Service said in Abuja on Wednesday that it had uncovered a terror network, coordinated by Iranians, in Lagos.

 The SSS said this while parading a leader of an Islamic sect, Abdullahi Berende, and two others said to be operators of the Iranian terror cell gathering information about Israelis and Americans living in Nigeria.

Paraded alongside 50-year-old Berende were Sulaiman Saka and Saheed Adewunmi. The three were said to be working for Iranian terrorists planning to attack Americans and Israelis in the country.

A third suspect, Bunyamin Yusuf, is said to be at large.

Berende who is said to be a leader of the Shi’a Islamic sect in Ilorin, Kwara State, told journalists that he was employed by “people who were ready to capitalise on my weakness,” though he denied being part of a terrorist network.

Deputy Director Public Relations, SSS, Marilyn Ogar, told journalists that Berende, an Islamic teacher, and local leader of the Shiite sect, was observed to have made several suspicious trips to and fro Iran where he interacted with some Iranians known to operate a high profile international terrorist network.

Ogar said that in the course of interrogation, Berende confessed that in 2006, he gained admission to study a six-month course in modern Shi’a Islamic teaching (Da’awa) at Imam Khomeini University, Iran.

She said, “Berende confessed that he was recruited by some Iranian elements when he returned to Iran for further studies in 2011 and was subsequently trained in the use of AK47 assault rifle, pistols, production and detonation of Improvised Explosive Devices and after he returned to Nigeria, he was invited by his handlers to Dubai for further briefing in April 2012; he was tasked to establish a terrorist cell in the South-Western part of Nigeria with particular emphasis on Lagos.”

The SSS boss further explained that in his bid to establish the terror network, Berende recruited Saka, Adewunmi and Yusuf, adding that the Iranian sponsors requested that he identified and gathered intelligence on public places and prominent hotels frequented by Americans and Israelis.

Ogar added that the Islamic teacher admitted that he personally took photographs of the Israeli cultural centre in Ikoyi, Lagos, which he sent to his trainers.

Michael Jackson's teenage son Prince hired as TV reporter for Entertainment Tonight

Source: The Independent

Michael Jackson’s 16-year-old son has been hired as a reporter for American TV channel Entertainment Tonight.

Prince Jackson made his debut this week appearing with co-host Brooke Anderson, who mentored the teenager through his first interview with the stars of Oz the Great and Powerful.

Sitting outside the interview room, Anderson and Prince Jackson chatted about his forthcoming interview. Prince revealed he was more used to being in the spotlight and hadn’t interviewed anyone before, saying: “People are always asking me questions; it will be a great insight into the business.”

Commenting on the maturity of Prince, whose father died when her was 12, Anderson said: “You’re 16 years old but you seem so much older and so much wiser than your years.”

Prince replied: “That’s what most of my people say. That was all thanks to my dad. He raised me right.”

Despite his father’s life lived under the scrutiny of the media, Prince made it clear he has ambitions for stardom. He told the programmes: “I’m looking to become well-rounded as a producer, director, screenwriter and actor.”

Sitting down with the cast of Oz the Great and Powerful, he earnestly asked for their advice for someone starting out in the industry.

Critics have been quick to judge Prince's debut, questioning whether a 16-year-old has enough experience to conduct interviews about the entertainment world. The show’s producers have also come under fire for exploiting the teenager.
