REVEALED: Why Amaechi Was Blocked From Entering Government House

The Rivers state police command has explained the reason for barring the governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi from entering his residence through the Forces Avenue main entrance to the Government House.

The governor who was on Thursday returning from an inspection tour of projects in the state was barred by gun-totting policemen who barricaded the entrance.

According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Angela Angela Agabe (DSP), the entrance was blocked as a measure to prevent a breakdown of law and order after a splinter group of the Peoples’ Democratic Party in the state opened a secretariat on the same road. All roads leading to Forces Avenue were immediately closed

BREAKING TRADITION: Pope bows for muslim queen

The Pope has once again shown his willingness to break with tradition by bowing to Muslim royal Queen Rania of Jordan.

As leader of the world's 1.2billion-strong Catholic community, protocol usually dictates that visitors bow to him when they meet him at the Vatican.


But when Rania came to the Holy See with her husband King Abdullah II on Thursday, he inverted that formality by lowering his head to her.


He made no discernible bow toward her husband, the king. The Jordanian royals were leaving following a private audience with the pope in his library.

'Francis behaves as he did before he became pope and is not interested in protocol', a senior Vatican official told the Daily Telegraph. 
Up until the 19th century, those meeting the pope stoop to kiss his slippers and, to this day, the tradition remains that all visitors, including women, bow to him, the official said.

The surprise move came after Pope Francis showed he is well in touch with what's popular in society today by posing for a 'selfie' with young Italian pilgrims in St Peter's Basilica, Vatican City.

It may be something more associated with the Justin Bieber, Victoria Beckham and Kelly Brook, but the leader of the Catholic Church showed he is more-than aware of today's hot topics.

The head of 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide has already amassed more than three million followers on the social networking site Twitter, with his latest offering believed to be the first ever 'papal selfie'.


Around 500 teenagers had travelled from the Diocese of Piacenza and Bobbio for a pilgrimage, and shared a private audience with the pontiff.

He was also presented a gift from his followers of a portrait of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns.

Pope Francis has made a concerted effort to understand and integrate with worldwide youth since he succeeded Pope Benedict XVI.

This was demonstrated when he attended Brazil's World Youth Day, with tens of thousands of people greeting him as he urged young Catholics to 'make disciples of all nations.'

Following his return to Vatican City from Brazil, he Tweeted: 'What an unforgettable week in Rio! Thank you, everyone. Pray for me. #Rio2013 #JMJ.'

Francis has already charmed the masses with his informal style, simplicity and sense of humour.

He has also being known to ring people up who have written to him asking for prayers or told him of personal tragedy.

Villas-Boas unaware of Chelsea's pursuit of Willian

The Blues lodged an improved offer for the Brazilian on Thursday, but the Spurs boss is keen for the transfer speculation to not distract from an emphatic win in the Europa League

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas says he is unaware of Chelsea's late swoop for Anzhi Makhachkala attacker Willian.

The Brazil international underwent a medical at the White Hart Lane club on Wednesday ahead of €35 million transfer only for their London rivals to lodged an improved offer of €37m on Thursday.

However, Villas-Boas said he had no knowledge of any potential offer from Chelsea, insisting his sole focus was on Tottenham's 5-0 win over Dinamo Tbilisi in the Europa League.

"We were just involved in a game so unfortunately I can't give you further information," the Portuguese told reporters.

"I confirmed our interest in the player. Everything is possible, but I'm not aware of the circumstances because of our involvement in the game.

"I don't want it to be a distraction over what we achieved here tonight."

The 35-year-old also refused to answer questions on the future of Gareth Bale.

The Welshman is said to be on the verge of signing for Real Madrid in a world-record deal.

"On Gareth I am not able to comment on anything that has been my tone since the start of the season and I will not come out of it," Villas-Boas added.
