WOMAN IN CALABAR CLINGS TO MOVING VEHICLE TO RESCUE ABDUCTED 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER

Mrs Priscilla Ekpenyong, on Friday damned the consequences by clinging to a moving vehicle in order to rescue her nine-month-old child, Emmanuella, from the hands of fleeing abductors.

The abductors had  pushed the 23-year-old woman out of the moving vehicle, but she held on to her daughter and was dragged on the tarred road for some distance before the kidnapping was aborted by security operatives.

The incident happened by the Eburutu Army Barracks along the busy Murtala Mohammed Highway in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.

Narrating her ordeal at the Police Clinic in Calabar, where she and her daughter received medical attention from bruises sustained during the incident, Priscilla said she boarded the taxi, a Volkswagen Jetta, at the Pyramid Hotel Bus Stop along the highway with another unidentified woman who was carrying a male child.

Some Don't See Anything Good In Jonathan-- Anenih

Chief Tony Anenih, Chairman of the board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says some Nigerians don’t see anything good in the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The former minister of works, however begged southern states to support Jonathan in the governance of the nation.

Anenih made the call in an address he delivered on Monday at the Southern Leaders Summit, held in Calabar.

In his speech, which was sent to our correspondent in Abuja, Anenih said the President needed the support of the southern states to face the challenges created by the Boko Haram, the global economic recession and unrest, and to keep the country united.
