The Founder of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore wrote on his Facebook wall..
''On the threat by Bukola Saraki to sue Saharareporters in every jurisdiction around the world over our report that he took bribe to cover up the extra-budgetary heist at the CBN, here is my exact sentiment as reported by Premium Times:
"We are ready to meet him in any court in Nigeria. If he goes to court to challenge us outside of Nigeria, he would be using the money he has taken (stolen over these years) from the Nigerian people to pay expensive (pricey) lawyers outside the shores of Nigeria whereas all the evidence (s) of his corruption are based here in Nigeria."

Arms Contract Scandal: Senator Saraki Blackmailed CBN Officials To Pay N250 Million Hush Funds

SaharaReporters has learned that Senate President Bukola Saraki blackmailed officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) into giving him N250 million as “hush” funds after the senator found out that ex-President Goodluck Jonathan illicitly approved N60 billion for the former National Security Advisor (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, to purchase “arms.” A source, who is a senior CBN official, disclosed that bank officials paid the sum to Mr. Saraki, who was not the Senate President at the time, to ensure that he and other senators kept silent about the irregular withdrawals by the NSA and the Jonathan administration.
Our source also revealed that some officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria quietly resisted several attempts by officials of the Jonathan administration to carry out large-scale theft of funds from the national treasury in the name of fighting Islamist insurgent group, Boko Haram insurgents.
A CBN whistleblower made available to our correspondent a hurriedly typewritten document that detailed how ex-NSA, Mr. Dasuki, requested tranches of dollars from the bank after obtaining approval from former President Jonathan between February and March this year.
According to the document, in the third week of February 2015 the former NSA requested for $250 million from the CBN but got $200 million. In the fourth week of February, the NSA put in a request for $150 million but received $125 million.

Indian man divorces wife by text after she reveals she was gang raped by neighbours

An Indian man divorced his wife by text after she told him she was gang-raped by their neighbours, it has been reported.
The unnamed Muslim man, who works in construction in Dubai, sent the 25-year-old mum a message after she let him know about her ordeal.
It simply said 'Talaq, talaq, talaq' which means 'I divorce you' and has to be said three times for the divorce to become official.
The first two times the talaq is pronounced, it may be withdrawn. But the third time it is pronounced, the divorce is final.
Soon afterwards the woman was thrown out of the home where she lived with her mother-in-law who also took custody of her four-year-old son.
Speaking to MailOnline, the mother-of-one said:
"When I read the message I went numb. I couldn’t believe what I had read. Just three words; talaq, talaq, talaq.I thought that he would stand by my side through this, to help me through the pain of it.
"But I was wrong. He took the easiest way out like a coward and divorced me with text message."
The woman, who has moved back in with her parents, says she has completely lost the will to live after her horrific ordeal.
