Wait, did someone try to forge a 'cancer report' on Buhari?

C'mon now! Has it gotten to this level? Some 'people' are trying to make it seem like the APC presidential candidate is down with cancer and released this medical report which is obviously fake!

 

APC has reacted to the cancer reports
"It (report of cancer) is untrue and condescending of its exponents. I have it on goodauthority that GMB has not visited the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital in the last five years. So, how can anyone say that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last October, barely three months ago?.
"This is the highest point of political distraction, malice and mischief. The report was not only fake but unfounded. I have spoken to impeccable sources at ABUTH all of whom deny the report and also claimed that the letterhead used was not their regular one, and that Dr. Bala Mohammed that purportedly approved the false medical report is not on the personnel list of that department,” his Campaign Director, Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said in a statement

Graphic pics from one of the deadliest robbery incidents in Nigeria in recent times

There was a deadly robbery incident that happened in Ikare, Ondo state on Tuesday January 13th. The attack left as many as 20 people dead, including police officers and secondary school students of Akunu Grammar School.

The heavily armed robbers, who witnesses say were up to 25, came in four vehicles, and blocked roads leading to the commercial area. They attacked banks, commercial offices and shops and by the time they were done, many were dead.

They indiscriminately killed people including four policemen who engaged them, people who were withdrawing money from the ATM, students returning from school, shop owners and passersby. The worst part is, there was a police station close to the banks so they must have felt safe.

By the time the robbers finished and were making their escape, they killed five more people. Schools and banks closed the next day and the governor of the state paid a visit to the place yesterday. I have some really graphic pics from the incident. If you have the heart, then see it after the cut...
