Pres. Buhari sacks permanent secretary for defrauding Federal Govt

                                  
President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked a Permanent Secretary, who has been using his office to defraud the Federal Government by awarding contracts worth billions of Naira to himself through the award of phantom contracts.The yet to be identified secretary, who was appointed by Buhari in 2015, was dismissed on Tuesday, on the orders of the President. 
He was driven out of the Federal Secretariat in Abuja by two police officers following his dismissal.
A Presidency source confirmed that the President ordered the immediate removal of the top civil servant, who presided over the affairs of one of the strategic ministries handling intervention programmes in the country following evidence that he awarded contracts to companies belonging to him. 
It was learned that the illicit activities of permanent secretary were exposed by key officials of the ministry to security agencies for investigations.
One of the security agency officials,  who spoke to Vanguard confirmed the Permanent secretary dismissal saying:
“We have been monitoring the man and the various companies being used by him to siphon huge sums of money from the ministry, which handles intervention programmes in the Niger Delta region but he has been very smart and suspicious of our movement, thereby making it impossible for us to arrest him despite the ambush we laid for him and his cronies.
He said: 
'But Mr. President did not waste time in asking the Head of Service of the Federation to sack the man with immediate effect as soon as he got to know that the man had used over 500 companies to award fake contracts to himself and move huge sums of money from the ministry in question.” 
'In fact, the discovery of the large-scale fraud in the ministry, which has suffered a lot of project failure and the subsequent sacking of the permanent secretary by Mr. President, followed a painstaking investigation by the anti-corruption agencies, which will soon charge the man to court,' the source added.

OMG!!! Justin Bieber posts his nacked pix on IG unknowingly

Justin Bieber delighted his Beliebers on Monday when he shared a naked photo on his Instagram account. The cheeky 21-year-old bared his bottom as he stood with his back to the camera on the edge of a boat. 'Look!' he captioned the snapshot, which showed him pointing at the land ahead, although it's fair to say none of his fans will have been admiring the scenery. Justin is currently in Bora Bora, and it's not clear who he is travelling with. The singer is clearly feeling quite relaxed, and stared across the stunning blue sea for his raunchy naked photo. Justin revealing pic caught the attention of one fan in particular - Miley Cyrus - who reposted the image, although she put her own creative crop on what she believed to be the most interesting part of the picture.
