The battle for supremacy by rival cult groups has led to the death of five students of the Auchi Polytechnic in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
Reliable sources in the institution told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Auchi that the killings took place within the last two days.

The sources also told NAN that the killings had forced many students to flee their hostels for safety.
Three of the dead students were said to be in the second year of the National Diploma part-time programme, while one has just rounded off his final programme in ND.
One of the students, who had just finished his ND Civil Engineering programme, was allegedly dragged to the Mechanic Village along the Okene/Auchi/Benin highway where he was killed on Thursday night.

The sources said that the killings had been linked to a battle for supremacy between two cult groups, the Neo Black Movement (Black Axe) and the Maphites. The Police Area Commander in Auchi, Mr Andy Amiengheme, confirmed the killings but said that only three of the killings had been reported.
Amiengheme also said that no arrest had been made in connection with the killings, and that the police had intensified patrol of the troubled areas.

He said: “All I can tell you is that it is a power squabble between two rival cult groups in the polytechnic and it all started on Wednesday night. “We were called on phone and told that something was happening and it turned out to be the Maphite and Black Axe trouble.

“The killings took place in the Mechanic Village and another one at a hostel at Sabo in South Ibie.
“While this was happening, we heard about another one at Sabo. This was rather strange as the boy was shot through his door as he was about opening it.

“We have intensified patrol and making efforts to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book. We are doing this in collaboration with the vigilance group in the area.We are placing more emphasis on the areas the students live. However, we discovered that many of the students have left the area.

“These are future leaders, who were sent to school to learn, but are busy killing themselves. They have no value for life and it is rather unfortunate.’’

Youth Corper Shot by Calabar hunter. Mistaken For Antelope

P.M.NEWS gathered yesterday that Miss Enechejo, a graduate of Auchi Polytechnic serving at  Comprehensive College, Mbube, was posted to Bepeh, a neighbouring community where she is doing her  primary assignment by INEC as adhoc staff for the just concluded voter registration exercise.
In Bepeh, she and another female colleague were given a room to share in the home of the village  primary school headmaster as temporary quarters while undertaking the registration exercise.
“I and my colleague were given a room from where we report to the registration point each morning,”  Miss Enechejo told P.M.NEWS.
She said on the morning of the fateful day at about 5:45 a.m., she had gone to the nearby bush at the  back of the house, which is a cassava farm owned by the village headmaster.  While there son of the  headmaster joined her in the bush and soon left in a hurry only for the father to come out with a gun  and fire at her.
“I understand the boy went back to the house to tell the father that he had seen the antelope that was  always coming to eat their cassava in the cassava

farm every morning.  But I did not know that that  was what he did, I only heard gun shots and pellets hitting me,” she said on her hospital bed.
Miss Enechejo, who was rushed to the Catholic Hospital Moniaya in Igoli, has again been taken back to  Mbube where the pellets are being extracted from her body by a traditional healer.
“She is recovering gradually, the pellets are still buried in her body that is why she is still  shivering,” Mrs. Catherine Umoru, elder sister to Miss Enechejo, who is looking after her, told our  correspondent.
Mrs. Umoru said the INEC zonal officer for Ogoja has visited Enechejo.
“We have not been asked to pay any bills yet. We do not know what will happen when she gets well,”  she said.
The police at the Divisional Police Station in Ogoja told P.M.NEWS that the headmaster, whose name  they refused to disclose, and his gun have been transferred to Calabar, the Cross River State capital.
However, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Cross River Police Command, ASP Etim dickson,  said he was not aware of the incident but reliable sources at the command at Diamond Hill said the  headmaster is with the anti-homicide department. The matter is still being investigated.
Mr. Michael Igini, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, who spoke to our correspondent on phone,  said “the girl is recovering and the pellets are being extracted from her body.

Two Auchi Poly students held for ‘kidnap’, ‘rape’ and ‘murder’

The Edo State Police Command has arrested two students of the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Henry Onoriode Edewo (21) and Emmanuel Isiekhuieme, for the alleged kidnap, rape and murder of Miss Mercy Peters (21).
The late Mercy was a student of Auchi Polytechnic and was in the same department with the suspects.
She became missing on July 29.
It was gathered that the late Mercy was abducted by the suspects and taken to a forest at Ugbor in Oredo Local Government Area, where she was raped.
She was said to have been killed four days after the abduction.
The suspects allegedly buried her in a shallow grave in the forest and started demanding ransom from her family.
Police sources said the family paid some money to the kidnappers, but the hoodlums insisted on N1 million.
Police spokesman Anthony Airhuoyo said the suspects were arrested on October 17.
Airhuoyo said the suspects took the police to where they buried Mercy.
He said her remains had been exhumed for an autopsy.
A third suspect, simply identified as Charles, is still at large.

Facebook is a social networking service launched in February 2004, owned and operated by Facebook. It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.^[1] The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League,^[2] and gradually most universities in Canada and the United States,^[3][4] corporations,^[5] and by September 2006, to everyone of age 13 and older with a valid email address.^[6][7]

CANADA

The history of Canada covers the period from the arrival of Paleo-Indians thousands of years ago to the present day. Canada has been inhabited for millennia by distinctive groups of Aboriginal peoples, with distinct trade networks, spiritual beliefs, and social hierarchies. Some of these civilizations had long faded by the time of the first European arrivals and have been discovered through archaeological investigations. Various treaties and laws have been enacted between European settlers and the Aboriginal populations.
Beginning in the late 15th century French and British expeditions explored, and later settled, along the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America to Britain in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the British Empire, which became official with the Statute of Westminster of 1931 and completed in the Canada Act of 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.
Over centuries, elements of Aboriginal, French, British and more recent immigrant customs have combined to form a Canadian culture. Canadian culture has also been strongly influenced by that of its linguistic, geographic and economic neighbour, the United States. Since the conclusion of the Second World War, Canadians have supported multilateralism abroad and socioeconomic development domestically. Canada currently consists of ten provinces and three territories and is governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state.

ITALY

Italian history can be said to have started in the 9th century BC, when earliest accounts record the presence of Italic tribes in present-day central Italy. Linguistically, they were divided into Oscans, Umbrians and Latins. Later the Latin culture became dominant, as Rome emerged as a powerful city-state around 350 BC. Other pre-Roman civilizations include Magna Graecia (or Greater Greece), when Greeks began settling in Southern Italy in the 8th century BC and lasted until the 3rd century BC and also the Etruscan civilization, which flourished between 900 and 150 BC in the central section of the peninsula.^[1]
The Roman Empire later dominated Western Europe and the Mediterranean for many centuries, making immeasurable contributions to humanity. Some of these led to the development of Western philosophy, science and art, that remained central during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. After the fall of Rome in AD 476, Italy remained fragmented in numerous city-states for much of the following millennium, finally falling under different foreign dominations. Parts of Italy were annexed to the Spanish, the Austrian and Napoleon I's empire, while the Holy See maintained control over Rome, before the Italian Peninsula was eventually liberated and unified in the late 19th century.
The new Kingdom of Italy, established in 1861, quickly modernized and built a large colonial empire, colonizing parts of Africa, and countries along the Mediterranean. However, many regions of the young nation (notably, the South) remained rural and poor, originating the Italian diaspora. Italy wins the World War I against its historical enemies, the Austrian Empire. Soon afterwards, however, the liberal state collapsed to social unrest: the Fascists, led by Benito Mussolini, took over and set up an authoritarian dictatorship. Italy joined the Axis powers in World War II, falling into a bloody Civil War after a monarchist coup ousted Mussolini in 1943, surrendering to the Allies in 1943, so eventually winning the war against Fascists and Nazi Germany in 1945.
In 1946, as a result of a Constitutional Referendum, the monarchy was abolished.^[2] The new republic was proclaimed on 2 June 1946. In the 1950s and 1960s, Italy saw a period of rapid modernization and sustained economic growth, the so-called Italian economic miracle. The country, coming back to international politics among Western democratic powers, joined the European Economic Community (which has later constituted the European Union), the United Nations, NATO, the G7 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Italy is currently ranked as a major regional power.^{[3][4][5][6][7]}

USA

The history of the United States as covered in American schools and universities typically begins with either Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage to the Americas or with the prehistory of the Native peoples, with the latter approach having become increasingly common in recent decades.^[1]
Indigenous peoples lived in what is now the United States for thousands of years and developed complex cultures before European colonists began to arrive, mostly from England, after 1600. The Spanish had early settlements in Florida and the Southwest, and the French along the Mississippi River and Gulf Coast. By the 1770s, thirteen British colonies contained two and a half million people along the Atlantic coast, east of the Appalachian Mountains. The colonies were prosperous and growing rapidly, and had developed their own self-governing political and legal systems. After driving the French out of North America in 1763, the British imposed a series of new taxes while rejecting the American argument that taxes required representation in Parliament. "No taxation without representation" became the American catch phrase. Tax resistance, especially the Boston Tea Party of 1774, led to punishment by Parliament designed to end self-government in Massachusetts. All 13 colonies united in a Congress that led to armed conflict in April 1775. On July 4, 1776, the Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson, proclaimed that all men are created equal, and founded a new nation, the United States of America.
With large-scale military and financial support from France and military leadership by General George Washington, the American Patriots silenced the Loyalists who supported the king, captured two British invasion armies, and won the Revolutionary War. The peace treaty of 1783 gave the new nation most of the land east of the Mississippi River (except Florida). The national government established by the Articles of Confederation had no authority to collect taxes and had no executive, so a new Constitution was adopted in 1789. The new government created a system of checks and balances among the branches of government that did not exist under the old system, and it continues to be the basis of the United States federal government; in 1791 a Bill of Rights was added to guarantee rights that justified the Revolution. With Washington as the nation's first president and Alexander Hamilton his chief political and financial adviser, a strong national government was created. In the First Party System, two national political parties grew up to support or oppose Hamiltonian policies. When Thomas Jefferson became president he purchased the Louisiana Territory from France, doubling the size of American territorial holdings. A second and last war with Britain was fought in 1812. One lasting consequence of this war was the weakening of Indian resistance to occupation of their territories, encouraging further incursions by white settlers and the expansion of the United States.
Under the sponsorship of the Jeffersonian Democrats and the Jacksonian Democrats, the nation expanded beyond the Louisiana purchase, all the way to California and Oregon. The expansion was driven by a quest for inexpensive land for yeoman farmers and slave owners. This expansion came at the cost of violence against indigenous native peoples and fueled the unresolved differences between the North and South over the institution of slavery. The expansion, under the rubric of Manifest Destiny was a rejection of the advice of Whigs who wanted to deepen and modernize the economy and society rather than merely expand the geography. Slavery was abolished in all states north of the Mason–Dixon line by 1804, but many had strong economic ties related to slavery because of shipping, banking and manufacturing. The international demand for cotton led to expansion of slavery throughout the Deep South in the nineteenth century and a forced internal migration.
After 1820, a series of compromises postponed a showdown on the issue of slavery. In the mid-1850s, the new Republican power took political control of the North and promised to stop the expansion of slavery, which implied its eventual death. The 1860 presidential election of Republican Abraham Lincoln triggered the secession of eleven slave states to found the Confederacy in 1861. The American Civil War (1861-1865) was the centerpiece of American history. After four years of bloody warfare, the Union, under President Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant as the commanding general, defeated the Confederate forces. The Union was saved and slavery was abolished. In the Reconstruction era (1863–77), the United States ended slavery and extended legal and voting rights to the Freedmen. The national government emerged much stronger, and because of the Fourteenth Amendment, it had the explicit duty to protect individual rights.
Reconstruction ended in 1877 as a result of complex political machinations and deals between southern Democrats and northern Republicans.^[2] The withdrawal of US troops from the former slave states enabled the return to power of white, southern antebellum elites. This "powerful, conservative oligarchy"^[3] enabled the creation of the system of Jim Crow which re-established the oppression of the southern black population through a system of legal segregation and an officially condoned campaign of violence and terror. Constitutional changes across the South at the turn of the century effectively disfranchised most blacks and many poor whites. Most of the southern populace remained poor well into the second half of the 20th century. The per capita income in the South remained under half the national average until after 1945.^[4]
The United States became the world's leading industrial power at the turn of the 20th century due to an outburst of entrepreneurship in the North, the arrival of millions of immigrant workers and farmers from Europe, and the Great Migration of millions of African Americans to the North for jobs and education. The national railroad network was completed with the work of Chinese immigrants, and large-scale mining and factories industrialized the Northeast and Midwest. Mass dissatisfaction with corruption, inefficiency and traditional politics stimulated the Progressive movement, from the 1890s to 1920s, which led to many social and political reforms. In 1920 the 19th Amendment to the Constitution guaranteed women's suffrage (right to vote). This followed the 16th and 17th amendments in 1909 and 1912, which established the first national income tax and direct election of U.S. senators to Congress.
Initially neutral in World War I, the U.S. declared war on Germany in 1917, and funded the Allied victory the following year. After a prosperous decade in the 1920s, the Wall Street Crash of 1929 marked the onset of the decade-long world-wide Great Depression. Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt became president and implemented his New Deal programs for relief, recovery, and reform, defining modern American liberalism. These included Social Security and a minimum wage. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States entered World War II alongside the Allies and helped defeat Nazi Germany in Europe and, with the detonation of newly invented atomic bombs, Japan in the Far East.
The United States and the Soviet Union emerged as opposing superpowers after World War II and began the Cold War, confronting one another indirectly in the arms race and Space Race. U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War was built around the containment of Communism. The U.S. became involved in wars in Korea and Vietnam, ostensibly to achieve this goal. In the 1960s, especially due to the strength of the civil rights movement, another wave of social reforms were enacted during the administrations of Kennedy and Johnson, enforcing the constitutional rights of voting and freedom of movement to African Americans and other minorities. Native American activism rose as tribes asserted their sovereignty, including control of education; tribal colleges have been founded and cultural revival has been strong.
But conservatism made a comeback in the 1980s under Ronald Reagan. The Cold War ended when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, leaving the United States the world's only superpower. As the 21st century began, international conflict centered around the Middle East and spread to Asia and Africa following the September 11 attacks by Al-Qaeda on the United States. In 2008 the United States had its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, which has been followed by slower than usual rates of economic growth during the 2010s.

UK

The history of the United Kingdom as a unified sovereign state began in 1707 with the political union of the kingdoms of England and Scotland,^[1] into a united kingdom called Great Britain. On this new state the historian Simon Schama said "What began as a hostile merger would end in a full partnership in the most powerful going concern in the world... it was one of the most astonishing transformations in European history."^[2] A further Act of Union in 1800 added the Kingdom of Ireland to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
The early years of the unified kingdom of Great Britain were marked by Jacobite risings which ended with defeat for the Stuart cause at Culloden in 1746. Later, in 1763, victory in the Seven Years War led to the dominance of the British Empire, which was to be the foremost global power for over a century and grew to become the largest empire in history. As a result, the culture of the United Kingdom, and its industrial, political, constitutional, educational and linguistic legacy, is widespread.
In 1922, following the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Ireland effectively seceded from the United Kingdom to become the Irish Free State; a day later, Northern Ireland seceded from the Free State and became part of the United Kingdom. As a result, in 1927 the United Kingdom changed its formal title to the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,"^[3] usually shortened to the "United Kingdom", the "UK" or "Britain". Former parts of the British Empire became independent dominions.
In the Second World War, in which the Soviet Union and the US joined Britain as allied powers, Britain and its Empire fought a successful war against Germany, Italy and Japan. The cost was high and Britain no longer had the wealth or the inclination to maintain an empire, so it granted independence to most of the Empire. The new states typically joined the Commonwealth of Nations.^[4] The United Kingdom has sought to be a leading member of the United Nations, the European Union and NATO, yet since the 1990s large-scale devolution movements in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have brought into question the future viability of this constantly evolving political union.

No difference. Just terminology.

USA or the United States of America is the formal name, whereas, US or America is an abbreviation of the formal term.

People may say "US" or "America" in order to save a breath or two...
