Russian ambassador shot dead in Turkey

Russian ambassador to Turkey, Andrey Gennadyevich Karlov, has been shot dead while speaking at an art exhibition in the Turkish capital, the Russian Foreign Ministry, has confirmed.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova made the announcement in a live televised statement, Sky News reports.

She said, “Today in Ankara, as a result of an attack, the ambassador of the Russian Federation to Turkey, Andrey Gennadyevich Karlov, received a wound from which he died.

“We regard this as a terrorist act. The murderers will be punished.”

The 62-year-old ambassador had been attending an art exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Centre in the Cankaya area of Ankara, along with other dignitaries and media.

The gunman was Mevlut Mert Altintas, a 22-year-

old who had been working for the riot police squad in Ankara for the past two-and-a-half years.

He was off-duty when it was  understood he entered the building using his police ID and opened fire on the ambassador as he made a speech.

A video showed him shouting, “Don’t forget Aleppo, don’t forget Syria! So long as our brothers are not in safety, you will not taste safety either. Only my dead body will leave here.

“Whoever is involved in this cruelty, one by one, you will pay for it.”

The gunman also shot three other people, although none were seriously injured, according to Turkey’s interior ministry.

Turkish media said he then climbed to the second floor of the building before a 15-minute shootout with police, during which he was killed.

A photographer from Associated Press who had been at the exhibition said the gunman had been wearing a suit and tie and had shouted “Allahu Akbar” before firing at least eight shots.

He had also spoken in Russian and smashed several of the photos in the exhibition.

MMM to released suspended money in batches, says failure of scheme depends on subscribers

The popular money doubling scheme, Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, better known as MMM, appears set to lift the ban it placed on monies in the scheme following outcry by participants in Nigeria whose accounts were frozen barely a week ago.

The news of the ban lift published by a mysterious website is coming after a purported emergency meeting was held on Wednesday, by MMM Nigeria Global, which explained that the ban was to restructure the scheme, adding that the period of freeze may be less than a month depending on the speed of the programmers.

At the end of the meeting, the leadership of the ponzi scheme in Nigeria issued a communiqué stating that, within the one month of mavro ban, MMM Nigeria will continue growing, adding however, that the progress, failure and expectation of the scheme depends on the participants.

The communiqué reads in part, “The freeze periods may even be less than one month, but it all depends on programmers and how fast they can finish. This year, we will have a new model to help make this community sustainable in Nigeria.

“We will post clarification with more details about the frozen mavro on everyone’s Personal Office (PO). Some mavros will be released before the 30 days release date probably in batches.

“Next week, we will implement change of guider button on every participants PO. New section in our PO will be installed this week. PH and GH order dispatching has been stopped for a while, meaning they aren’t matching anyone for the meantime. We will use this period to tackle other issues we have with support.”

“MMM Nigeria’s progress depends on you, your expectation determines the future. You determine what you want. You have to encourage yourselves and your downlines.”

MMM: Dial 112 if any one attempts suicide due to crash – LASEMA advises

Following the outbreak of the ‘frozen’ accounts and alleged crash of the Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, otherwise known as ‘MMM’, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, has cautioned that suicide rate ‘may’ rise in the state.

LASEMA gave the advice after a twitter user cautioned that suicide rates may increase in Lagos, due to the controversial ‘pause’ of the scheme.

On its Twitter handle @lasemasocial, the LASEMA RESPONSE UNIT dropped an emergency number to call should any case of suicide arise in any part of the state.

It said, “Dial 112 if you see any in your area. #LagosCares.”

This is coming a few hours after a soon-to-wed Benue man drank insecticide following the alleged crash of the Ponzi scheme.

Recall that promoters and participants of MMM in Nigeria on Tuesday woke up to the shocking news that the ponzi scheme was frozen and all confirmed accounts suspended.
