 ‘Empty barrels’ – Otti dismisses Uzor Kalu, Orji, Ikpeazu opposition gang-up Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has urged Abians to disregard recent remarks by some leaders of the opposition in the state. Governor Otti who was speaking on Saturday at Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuoriehi, Umuahia North LGA, during the dedication of the church building, said that those who are gathering against him were the same people that failed to develop the state in the past. Otti was reacting to an alliance formed against his re-election by former Abia governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu. The governor slammed the opposition members for pursuing personal interest above the collective development of Abia, declaring that every gathering they are making against him would collapse. He said, “Pastor Uguru made reference to the noise that you may have been hearing in the last few days. “I want us to just dismiss it as noise, you know, and it’s always the empty barrel that makes...

 Hoax bomber sentenced to 6 years for fake bomb at California church

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - An Arizona man was sentenced Friday to six years in federal prison for placing a hoax bomb at a church in Roseville, California. Zimnako Salah, 29, of Phoenix, had argued that he merely forgot his backpack in the church bathroom and had committed no act of terrorism.

A jury convicted Salah in April on charges of providing false information, committing a hoax, and obstructing the free exercise of religion. Prosecutors also determined that the act was a hate crime, as Salah targeted the church because of the congregants’ Christian faith. U.S. District Judge Dena Coggins, citing the seriousness of the offense and Salah’s lack of remorse, also imposed a $10,000 fine.

Authorities said Salah visited four churches across California, Arizona, and Colorado between September and November 2023. At two churches, he left backpacks that parishioners believed contained explosives, prompting heightened security responses. At the other two, security confronted him before any items were left behind. Investigators later found bomb-making components in a Colorado storage unit, including a propane tank, shrapnel, and other materials capable of creating an improvised explosive device. Salah’s social media activity revealed that he had viewed extremist and ISIS propaganda.

During sentencing, Salah’s defense attorney argued that his client had testified at trial, disavowed violence, and had no history of escalating behavior. Prosecutors countered that the hoax caused real fear, noting a witness who testified in tears, believing the backpack was a bomb. They also highlighted Salah’s premeditation, including scouting church entrances and exits and traveling across states to plant the hoax.

Judge Coggins rejected the defense’s request for a lighter sentence, stating that the church experienced substantial disruption, with security measures and relocation of children, and that Salah deliberately targeted the congregation because of their religion. She also noted that Salah had the means to pay the fine, citing his assets and past employment.
