The deceased, who were blood-brothers, were natives of Rumuokparali community in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of the state.
Mr. Omoni said the police had not arrested the suspects or recovered the heads of the victims.
“The man-haunt for the suspects and recovery of their (victims’) decapitated heads has taken off,” he said.
The police spokesperson said that investigation into the murder had commenced and encouraged the members of the public to give meaningful information that would lead to the arrest the suspects.
He said that the police would not relent in its efforts to ensure that the killers were arrested and the heads of the victims found.
Mr Omoni said that incidences of killing and beheading were portraying the state in bad light.
He pleaded with motorists and members of the public to exercise patience whenever the police were conducting stop and search exercise.
“It is a means of taking criminals unawares and arresting them,” he said, adding that the exercise was for the security of the citizenry.
He said telecommunication service providers were assisting police to track down kidnappers in the state.

In a bid to get rid of ghost workers and ensure an effective and productive workforce in the local government administration in the state, the Enugu State Government has begun the physical verification of local government workers in the state.
Pix: This verification exercise
Speaking to Newsmen after the inspection, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, who monitored the verification exercise to ascertain the level of workers’ compliance he how regular the workers in the local government councils have been, said the process was fair to all and satifactory in line with established best practices.
Prof. Onyia disclosed that the physical verification exercise is another phase of the verification process which has been ongoing since last year, notng that there is every need for the government to know the status and identity of the actual staff in every local government and those who illegitimately made their way into the respective local government payrolls.
According to him, his unannounced visitation was also to know how punctual and dedicated the workers have been in the discharge of their official duties, stressing that the state cannot continue to utilize taxpayers money to service the wage bills of ghost workers and those that have abandoned their work places and failed to discharge their responsibilities for the growth of the state.
SSG, Prof Onyia
,T6he verification team that is here will go through a verification process that includes; the workers’ appointment letter, their schedules, and we are going to ensure that their biometrics that were captured and presented to us reflect in what we have seen here. This is because we also know that people are going on filling out information online, but they are not the actual people present here. So, we didn’t tell anybody we were coming today and none of the local government areas knows which local government we would show up. So, we chose Enugu North today and as you can see, we did not have a significant numbers to justify what was on our payroll,” Onyia said.
The SSG, while lamenting that the local government system has become a dumping ground for people who think they can corruptly influence the system because they know highly placed people, assured that the system will be overhauled by this present administration so that productivity will be enhanced to align with Governor Peter Mbah’s plan of moving the state’s GDP from $4.4 billion to $30 billion.
He stated that the exercise would be conducted in the 17 local government areas in the state, while the state team would continue to monitor all the exercises and take appropriate measures against those that failed to be captured in the exercise.
Meanwhile, some members of staff have applauded the physical verification exercise, urging the authority to ensure that all those culpable in compromising the system are sanctioned according to the laid down rules.
One of staff participating in the physical verification exercise who simply identified her herself as Mrs. Chime, said the nominal roles and payment vouchers have thousands of workers with very few of them coming to work.
“You wonder if they are still existing. Some of them are living in Lagos, Abuja, Rivers and yet they are receiving the same pay as ourselves who have been coming to work. We are glad that the right reward and sanction await us,” she said.
Mr. Okoh Ignatius, who came to apply for local government identification letter, lamented that most of the offices were usually deserted by workers, leaving members of the public in need of their services stranded. He stressed that the government was taking the right step to fix the system.

Many restaurant managers try to do something for the people who protect and serve their communities.
An Outback Steakhouse manager in Louisiana knew that she had to do something for a group of police officers as they were eating a meal one afternoon.
A co-worker helped her with the good deed as well.
Arline Wood and server Zoe Rao saw the four officers at a table while they were working in the restaurant together.
The two workers knew that the officers cared about their town and that they often didn’t get the recognition that they deserved.
They put their lives at risk every day and didn’t expect anything in return for their actions.
Arline talked to Zoe about what she had planned, and the two agreed that it was the best decision.
It was only a small gesture, but they hoped that it would show the officers that someone cares about the work that they perform each day.
Zoe talked to the officers while she was serving them.
They were very polite and talked about more than just patrolling the city and keeping it safe.
She enjoyed the conversations that she had with the group.
When the officers were finished eating, they had a $67 bill that Arline and Zoe paid off together.
They also gave the officers a note written on the receipt.
They drew a happy face on the paper and told the officers to be safe while they were on the job.
The pair also noted that the meal was on the house and that they didn’t have to worry about paying.
After the officers saw what Arline and Zoe did, they didn’t know what to say.
They thanked the women and left to go patrol the community as they did every night.
The image of the receipt and the act that the manager did for the officers were both posted on social media.
The two didn’t want any kind of recognition for what they did.
However, members of the community have been thanking the two ever since.
Others are in agreement that more people should be thankful for the services provided by officers.

US economic, military and political dominance is likely to decline over the next two decades, according to American intelligence agencies. Who will be the next world leader?
According to the National Intelligence Council (NIC) China and India will grow more powerful in the coming decades as the US weakens.
They also predict that the US dollar will no longer be the world's major currency and food and water scarcities will fuel conflict.
However, the report concedes that these outcomes are not inevitable and will depend on the actions of world leaders.


Fed expects to keep raising rates until inflation slows down
(MENAFN) According to meeting minutes from the United States Federal Reserve, policymakers believed that raising interest rates would be prudent unless inflation dramatically decreased.
The meeting's minutes from July 26–27 showed, "with inflation remaining well above the Committee’s objective, participants judged that moving to a restrictive stance of policy was required to meet the Committee’s legislative mandate to promote maximum employment and price stability."
For the second consecutive month, the Fed increased its benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points, the quickest rate of tightening in forty years.
Based on the central bank, it would probably become appropriate at some time to slow the rate at which the policy rate is set.
It added, "some participants indicated that, once the policy rate had reached a sufficiently restrictive level, it likely would be appropriate to maintain that level for some time to ensure that inflation was firmly on a path back to 2 percent"

Statement on Local Government weekOctober 17, 2016
Mr. Speaker, as we begin local government week I want to rise to commend all of those in the municipal sector who work to provide the services that people rely on every day.
Across Ontario municipalities will be holding events this week to educate people on municipal government and the important role they play.
From the drinking water and roads we depend on – to the police that protect us – to the places our children play – to the planning that shapes our communities – municipal government impacts people’s lives every day.
This week is an opportunity to celebrate the thousands and thousands of people who work hard in the municipal sector to ensure that everyone can rely on those services.
It is an opportunity to celebrate the thousands of elected officials who give their time to help build strong, healthy and vibrant communities.
We recognize that municipalities are a mature level of government and an important part of our democracy.
We know they need a real partner in the provincial government – one who will listen to them and respect that each community has different needs. They need a partner that will provide the support and predictability that they need and that will work with them to reduce costs, rather than adding new burdens.
We understand the challenges in delivering all the services that people depend on and we understand that municipalities persevere because they know that their residents rely on them.
So as we celebrate local government week I want to commend our municipal sector and thank them for everything they do.

Egypt’s minister for the public business sector, Mokhtar Khattab, said on Sunday that the privatization program adopted by his country was being carried out in a satisfactory manner.
He noted that the sum involved in the buying and leasing of companies and institutions included in the program had reached 418 million Egyptian pounds this year, reported the official Kuwaiti news agency, KUNA.
Khattab was quoted as telling reporters Friday that these companies had been causing annual losses to the state that exceeded 150 million pounds ($35.4 million).
He stressed that negotiations were being held with those investors to reach the best offers, especially to sell some of the state's hotels and cement companies.
He said the privatization program had achieved positive returns, with new investment opportunities available in the local market.
The minister added that the losses that were being witnessed in the Egyptian economy had been put to an end within the framework of the multinational ownership of several companies and factories.
Egypt started an economic reform program in 1990 with the aim of expanding private ownership, increasing economic activity through changing the government's patterns of administration, boosting the role of the private sector and attracting more foreign investment, said the agency.
It added that the Egyptian government had so far sold off 190 companies and factories for 16 billion and 170 million pounds, respectively.
Egypt recently devalued the pound, a move which was received with contradictory responses in the market.
The government and some economic observers have said, however, that the move is in the right direction.
The International Monetary Fund has been among those giving positive reviews of the devaluation, said the agency – Albawaba.com

Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan whose ministry is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this year’s annual budget said that FM Sitharaman put health as the topmost pillar of the country and hiked the budget by 137 percent as compared to last year which is in itself a great achievement.
Reacting to a whopping 137 percent increase in the Health budget of the central government, Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia said that the increase reflects the government commitment to fight the Covid-19 pandemic from the front. She also said that the move will also go a long way in building better health systems.
However, the opposition led by the Congress remained unimpressed with the budget and said that contrary to the expectations of unprecedented measures in the Covid-19 times, the government has presented an ordinary budget. Congress leader in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury also criticised the government by saying that the government was aiming at finding “a road to vote” by announcing schemes in several poll bound states. Chowdhury further said that the government had also failed to support the poor by announcing any direct transfer scheme. Union Finance Minister Sitharaman in her budget speech announced several road infrastructure projects in the states that are slated to go to polls this year including West Bengal, Assam, Kerala among others.
NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar remarked that all sections of the economy had huge expectations from the Finance Minister and she has been able to fulfil all of them.

Another heavyweight from the NITI Aayog, CEO Amitabh Kant showered praise on the Union budget and said that in addition to giving a direction towards growth, the budget also sets the blueprint of the economy for the coming 3-4 years. Pointing out that the government has stressed on boosting infrastructure and asset monetisation, Kant said that the moves reflect the positive attitude of the government towards promoting the private sector.

(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Avesh Khan finally got his dream fulfilled the other night against the Chennai Super Kings and continued his good showing against the Rajasthan Royals. The medium pacer from Madhya Pradesh took three wickets to further dent the Rajasthan Royals batting. The 24-year-old, who has played for India Under-19s, India ‘A' and one season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, got Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag cheaply and then went on to terminate David Miller's defiant knock of 62 from 43 balls, which had seven boundaries and two sixes. Avesh went on to finish with figures of 4-0-32-3 to go with the 2-23 against CSK, in their opening match.

Local business woman reaches out to public to help solve multiple burglaries
A business woman is reaching to the public for assistance after her business office was broken into three times in the last two weeks. Terri Steffany, who owns several local businesses, said the first time her office was burglarized was two weekends ago, the second time last week, with the latest break- in Monday night.
The business woman said their main office was ransacked and the culprits got away with cash, beer, cigarettes and other items. She said police were contacted when the first incident occurred — and now it’s the third incident and yet no one has been held accountable for what happened.
Steffany said she was told by police officers at the West Substation they have forwarded the case to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID). However, when she arrived at the Central station, the officers there said they had yet to receive any case pertaining to the burglaries at her business office.
Steffany said the culprits entered into the office by breaking down the main door.
Spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety, Deputy Commissioner Leiseau Laumoli said he just got back from a trip and he has yet to be fully briefed on the recent cases that are being investigated.
In the meantime, the local company is offering a reward for any information about the culprits who burglarized their main office. The “REWARD” advertisement can be seen in today’s issue of Samoa News.

Opposition struggle is against Imran Khan govt; not army: PDM
Addressing a public gathering, Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) leaders said that their struggle was not against the army but against the Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government which had been “imposed on the country after stealing public mandate through election rigging”.
The opposition leaders said that a government that was “selected” against the will of the people had no right to remain in power and soon a government would be established according to the wishes of the people as a result of the democratic struggle launched by the opposition alliance across the country.
“Our war is not against the army. We have launched a struggle for upholding the supremacy of the Constitution and for a parliament which is elected by the people in a free, fair and impartial election,” said PDM president Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
Rehman said that PDM wanted to make it clear to the establishment that it would continue to fight those who considered the Constitution a piece of paper at every forum, including the parliament.
“We will definitely submit our resignations at the right time. The lawmakers of all member parties of PDM have submitted their resignations to their leadership.”
Earlier, Imran Khan had told the nation that if there was inflation in Pakistan, he would be responsible for it.
Rehman added, “Today the people are so fed up with inflation that they are committing suicide while throwing their children into rivers but the prime minister does not care.”
The PDM chief said that if the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) continued to rule the country, Pakistan would face a ‘horrible tsunami’ that would destroy the country economically and politically.
He further lambasted the Khan government over the foreign policy that has led to the country being isolated in the world.
“Saudi Arabia and UAE are asking for the return of loans they extended to Pakistan,” the PDM chief said.

Bahrain's BAPCO delays decision to expand refinery
(MENAFN) Bahrain's Bahrain Petroleum Co. (BAPCO) said that the kingdom has decided to delay its decision regarding the proposed project of expanding the country's oil refinery, Arab News reported.
BAPCO said that the proposed expansion would boost the capacity of the Sitra refinery by 100.000 barrels per day (bpd) from its existing capacity of 267.000 bpd.
"We are in FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) right now, and we will be in that stage in 2015. We will present the kingdom with a plan to proceed or not with the final investment decision in 2016. My expectation is that if crude prices would decline in a more rapid way then the product prices would soften," he said in Dubai.
The company said that the recent expansion in refining capacity in the Gulf, including the two newly opened plants in Saudi Arabia, SATORP and YASREF, will probably result in a supply glut, adding more pressure to product prices.

SHIMLA: Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP
) of sabotaging the opposition parties by doing “politics of polarisation”, Himachal Pradesh
Congress president Pratibha Singh
said on Wednesday that due to some people leaving the party, neither it will be weakened, nor will there be any adverse effect in the morale of the workers.
She expressed surprise at the decision of state Congress working president Harsh Mahajan to leave the party to join BJP.
She said that the Congress party has given Mahajan full respect at every level and today, when the party needed him and the assembly elections were to be held in the state, it is very surprising that he left the party.
Singh said that former chief minister late Virbhadra Singh was never short on honouring Mahajan.
She said that now Mahajan is saying that 'mother and son are ruling the Congress at national and state level', which is “very unfortunate”.
“His allegation is very irresponsible and objectionable,” she said.
She said that Mahajan has broken the trust of Congress and has backstabbed it, for which the people of the state would never forgive him.
She said that Congress always asked him to contest elections but he kept running away.
“Despite that he was given important responsibilities in the Congress government,” she said.
The Congress leader said that the party would fight the assembly elections in the state with full strength.
Calling upon the party workers to move forward with full morale, she said that the next government in the state would be of the Congress.
She said that people of the state would never forgive those “who are trying to weaken the Congress by leaving the party and going to other parties”.


THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Vice President
STATEMENT BY VICE PRESIDENT GORE
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Oklahoma and Kansas during this difficult time -- especially those who lost loved ones as a result of last night's devastating tornadoes.
I know that last night's tornadoes -- which destroyed many homes and businesses across the two states -- have taken quite a toll on the people of Oklahoma and Kansas. But I want them to know that the Federal government will act -- and act quickly -- to help them start rebuilding their lives. Soon, several affected areas in both states will be declared disaster areas, opening the door to much needed federal aid.
Tipper and I ask the American people to keep the families of Oklahoma and Kansas in their prayers in the coming days.

Community and place-based foundations are playing a growing role in addressing their community information needs. They see their funding of information and media as helping them make an impact on the issues they care about, tied to their philanthropic leadership and likely to increase in the future. These were the key findings from our recently completed State of Information and Media Funding Survey.
Of the 162 community and place-based foundation respondents, more than half report funding information and media-related projects in the past year, with a median contribution of just under $100k. Forty-nine percent of foundations supporting information and media have seen their funding in this area increase in the past three years, and 38% expect it to increase further over the next three years.
The survey also confirmed what we’ve been hearing in the field: that most foundations are funding information and media to make progress on issues that matter to them, in areas such as education, health, civic engagement and nonprofit capacity building. As one foundation explained:
“We realize that public awareness, engagement, and mobilization are critical components to get civic leadership […] to take decisive action.”

Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia discuss rollout of fresh transit road
(MENAFN) On Tuesday, Dec. 7 Director-General of RMTP Office of International Transit and Transportation Javad Hedayati informed ISNA: “Following a trip to hold two meetings [on road transportation] with Azerbaijan and Georgia, we proposed an initiative to the two countries to create a new transit corridor for regional convergence.”
Director-General of RMTP further said that “of course, this plan was already proposed eight years ago, but due to the fact that many countries were involved in this agreement, it has not been implemented yet and the parties have not reached a consensus.”
Hedayati continued to note that the adoption of this fresh road has the ability to link the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea, stating: “Georgia and Iran are the two main parties to the agreement, as Iran is connected to the free waters through the Persian Gulf, and Georgia has two important trading ports east of the Black Sea; On the other hand, Georgia and Azerbaijan have made great efforts to improve and develop their transportation infrastructure, so we tried to increase cooperation with both these countries.”
