 New Round Of Oil Blocs Bid For Investors Not Politicians — Minister The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, has said that the 17 oil blocs put forward for sale under the 2024 licensing bid round are not for politicians, but investors with financial capacity and technical competence. The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, revealed this during a conference organised by the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN), at the ongoing 2024 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), in Houston, Texas U.S. According to him, the move forms part of the effort to drive investment and boost the nation’s economic fortunes. With the theme “Sustainable Energy Solutions for Africa’s Future (Nigerian Perspective), the Minister explained that in the past, the award of oil blocs culminated in the non-development of over 90 per cent of marginal fields.

Prostitute Burnt To Death For Keeping Quran Under Pillow 

The Lagos State Police Command has charged three suspects to court for allegedly beating a prostitute, Hannah Saliu, to death and setting her corpse ablaze for keeping the Holy Quran in her room.

The source said, “What happened was that the girl was a prostitute and a customer patronised her and after sleeping with her, the customer paid N1,000 for her service.

“But when the customer was leaving, he stole the prostitute’s N5,000 and after discovering that her money had gone missing, the prostitute chased him to ask for her money.

“The Northerners, who were with the customer that the girl accused of stealing her money, asked if she was sure that he stole her money. So, they decided to go and search her room where she attended to her customers.

“While searching the room, they found Quran under her pillow and started asking what she was using the Quran for as a prostitute. So, they started attacking her; they stabbed her, took her out and set her ablaze.

“The incident happened at Alaba Rago, where a lot of Northerners reside. The girl that was killed also came from the North. Their grouse was that she was not supposed to be carrying Quran because of the kind of work she was doing.”

The state Police Public Relations, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.
