down, beating the drivers, destroying the buses
before eventually setting them on fire. The damage
yesterday is said to be worth over N100million.

had nothing to do with it, explaining that they only
found a corpse in their bus and went to report it to
the police;

Nigerian National Conference Voted.

The National Conference on Thursday voted for the
creation of 18 more states in the country. The
creation of new states was one of the decisions
taken by the delegates at their plenary while
considering the report of the Committee on Political
Restructuring and Forms of Government.
Apart from the 18 new states proposed, the
conference said a separate state-yet-to-be named
should be carved out of the South-East to bring the
number of the states in the zone to six.
In creating a new state from the South-East
geopolitical zone, the conference said the creation
would correct the imbalance of the zone having the
least number of states.
