According to a report by NANS,  The Police Command in Taraba has confirmed that gunmen on Tuesday killed 10 people in Jibu Village in Wukari Local Government Area of the state.
 
The police spokesperson, Joseph Kwaji, told journalists in Jalingo that the suspected assailants also burnt more than 20 houses.
 
“‘Yes, I can confirm to you that at about 5 a.m. today, a group of Jukun youth stormed Jibu village, opened fire at the inhabitants and killed 10 people,” he said.
 
According to him, the suspected gunmen killed every one they saw in the area irrespective of the person’s ethnicity and region, including Jukuns.
 
“I can also confirm to you that 15 people are badly injured and about 20 houses were set ablaze,” he said.
 
Mr. Kwaji, however, said that a joint patrol of Mobile police and military had been deployed to intensify security in the area.
The spokesman, therefore, appealed to people in the area to stay calm, saying security personnel were on top of the situation.
 
He assured members of the community that the perpetrators of the crime would be brought to book.
 
Tuesday’s Taraba killing occurs less than four days after over 100 people were killed by gunmen in Zamfara State. Scores more were killed in various attacks in Nasarawa, Benue, and Kaduna.
 
The House of Representatives on Tuesday summoned the Inspector General of Police, the National Security Adviser, and the Chief of Defence Staff over the worsening security situation across the country.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called  Eurycoma Longifolia  or  Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises”  says Dr. Fi
