Nigerian man flies from JFK to LA with invalid ID, expired boarding pass
Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi cleared security last Friday to board Virgin America Flight 415 and travel to Los Angeles International Airport, FOX News Channel reported Thursday.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confirmed Noibi was screened at JFK, but said it could not comment further due to the ongoing FBI investigation.
"Every passenger that passes through security checkpoints is subject to many layers of security including thorough physical screening at the checkpoint. TSA's review of this matter indicates that the passenger went through screening," spokesman Greg Soule said in a statement. "It is important to note that this passenger was subject to the same physical screening at the checkpoint as other passengers."
Noibi apparently stayed in Los Angeles before returning to the airport Wednesday and attempting to board a Delta flight bound for Atlanta using the same means.
He was prevented from getting on the flight and taken into custody after investigators found that he was in possession of several expired boarding passes.
FBI special agent Kevin Hogg said in an affidavit that the man whose name was on the expired boarding pass, used by Noibi on the Virgin America flight, told him it disappeared from his back pocket on a subway ride to the airport last Thursday.
Hogg said that Noibi acknowledged that he did not pay for the Virgin America flight and told officials that the reason for his trip to Los Angeles "was to recruit people for his software business."
He was charged with being a stowaway aboard an aircraft, a felony punishable with up to five years in prison if convicted.
According to officials first cited by KABC, Virgin America's flight crew only realized that an extra passenger was on board after the flight was airborne.

Amber Rose reacts to leaked nude pictures
She tweets,
I was gonna wait until my radio show to address this but I want to say this now. I trusted someone that worked 4 me & allowed them to use my laptop a million times, I caught this person sending my pics to themselves and I fired this person immediately Wiz & I & both of our families have known about this for 2 months now. We tried to prepare ourselves for this day. Those pictures r 2 1/2 years old just sitting in my computer. I'm really hurt & embarr#!@%*#ed because I have so many young girls that look up to me. I would never put those pics out of myself.More of her tweets and the nude pics when you continue. But we warned, it's very graphic!
The company that I was working with no longer wants to work with me because of these pics and that prevents me from getting money to take care of my family. Its a messed up situation when someone so evil comes into ur life and tries to destroy it. I know I'm not the only girl in the world that has taken pics like that but they were very private. I'm sorry for letting my young Rosebuds down. Pls understand this was a result of trusting a person that didn't deserve my trust. I have cried for the past 2 days but I know this to shall p#!@%*#. Thank u for all of ur support.You think the biz she said she lost is the music meets runway event she's supposed to be hosting in Lagos July 7th? I doubt it! Meanwhile, people in the fashion industry who have seen the naked pics were quick to point out that the shoes she's wearing in the pictures only came out last year.

Walmart coming to Nigeria?
“It is an indication of the growing confidence in Nigeria’s economy,” Adefuye stated, adding that he was currently engaging with the leading US store on the conditions and requirements that would have to be met to do business in Nigeria.
WalMart currently employs about 2.1million employees and the CNN ranked it as the biggest global company last year, saying that, despite the global recession, the discount retailer’s bargain prices continued to lure consumers worldwide.
The company’s plan to open stores in Nigeria is part of the strategy of its leadership team, led by its new President/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael Duke.
At the company’s AGM last year, Duke was reported as saying that global markets were “becoming an even bigger and more important part of our company.” - Punch

Police Chase Ends With Driver Getting Burnt
A 35-year-old man, Ogbona Stephen, was almost burnt to death yesterday morning when policemen in Abuja reportedly shot at his vehicle in an attempt to arrest him for plying the wrong route.
The tricycle burst into flames and Mr. Stephen ran out of the vehicle, his whole body ablaze eye witnesses report. Many people took to their heels at the sight, but a few stripped leaves from trees which they used to smother the driver’s flaming body. According to the witnesses, the good samaritans then apparently laid him on the side of the road near the fence of the Anglican Girls Grammar School, Abdulsalami Abubakar way and covered his naked body with more leaves. Many people taught he was dead hurried past, but one man apparently took the trouble of checking and confirmed that he was still breathing and therefore alive.
Shortly afterwards, a vehicle came from the National Hospital to convey the horribly burnt man to the hospital where he was placed in the intensive care unit. Colleagues of Mr Stephen from the Keke Napep Forum retrieved one of the heels of his shoe which had fallen off while his body was on fire and placed it on a rod and proceeded to protest on Abdulsalami way, causing a serious traffic jam. It took dozens of heavily armed policemen about half an hour to dislodge the protesters.
Moshood Jimoh, spokesman of the FCT police command has denied that the police shot at Mr. Stephen. “Nobody shot at anybody,’’ he said. ‘‘ There is an order that Keke Napep should not ply on any highways or ring road in Abuja. The guy was running away from law enforcement agents when his vehicle somersaulted and caught fire,” Mr. Jomoh insisted.
The divisional police officer of Garki Police Station where the tricyle is being kept, Tony Olofu also denied guns were involved.
However, many witnesses claimed to have heard at least two gun shots around 10am that morning near the Apo legislators quarters where the incident took place.
One of the protesters, who gave his name as Malachy Anorue, said the police shot at both the front and back tires of Mr Stephen’s vehicle, leading to the fire.
“We insist that the police take full responsibility for the man and his family until he is well enough to resume work,” he said. Mr Stephen, whose wife recently gave birth to their fourth child, reportedly began his transport business two years ago.
Members of Keke Napep union who spoke to NEXT insisted that this tragedy is the culmination of months of harassment of tricycle drivers by policemen.
One of them, Obinna (he refused to give his last name), said he was recently pursued by policemen through two of the suburbs of the FCT, Gudu and Durumi.
“I ran into a mechanic workshop and parked my vehicle and ran to hide. When I returned, they had broken my battery carriage and removed the battery. They also destroyed my keyhole,” he said.
Mr Anorue said since January, the police have been harassing drivers of Keke Napep no end and blamed the executives of his union for incompetence.
“Police came in large numbers with VIO officials last Thursday around 3pm to harass us. Their disturbance, which began at the beginning of the year, stopped in March. But they said our officials met with them and they were told about the routes which we should now take. But our own officials never told us anything about that meeting,” he said.
Meanwhile, Mr Stephens remains in a critical condition at the national hospital in Abuja. Mr Jimoh says the police has decided to foot all of Mr. Stephens’ medical bills but this is only for ‘ humanitarian purposes.’Source: 234next
