Terrorist who planned to join Isis in Syria and plotted UK bomb attack jailed

terrorist who planned to flee to Syria to fight with Isis and hoped to carry out a bomb attack in the UK has been jailed for six years.

Mubashir Jamil, from Luton, sent a covert police officer online messages between November 2015 and April 2016 about his dreams of travelling to Syria and even bought a punchbag and pull-bag to get fit ahead of his journey, the Old Bailey heard.

The 22-year-old said he didn’t want to draw attention to his fitness programme and also bought a football to play with "so it's less suspicious".

Before deciding to travel to Syria, Jamil considered other options, including carrying out a suicide bomb attack, police said.

He talked of wanting to see attacks similar to those in Belgium and Paris.

In one message, he wrote: "I am saying if you guys can send me someone quickly, and he fits a explosive [sic] belt on me and tells me how to press, I can go find good targets on the same day and press it."

But Jamil decided to pursue his plans to fight in Syria instead. He booked a ticket to fly to Turkey on April 30. Officers arrested him on April 27.

Video footage released by Scotland Yard showed officers smashing down the door of the house in Luton, before racing upstairs and putting Mubashir Jamil in handcuffs as he lay on his bed.

Police seized an iPhone and two laptops featuring pro-Daesh documents including "How to survive in the West - A mujahid guide" and "The Islamic State 2015".

He was convicted of being engaged in conduct in preparation for giving effect to the intention to commit acts of terrorism on October 19.

Commander Dean Haydon, head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, said: "I am pleased with this result which has ensured that a man who was seemingly inspired by the terrorist atrocities in Belgium and France has been taken out of the community.

“The community is really key to our efforts to continue putting people engaging in terrorist activity before the courts. I urge the public to do this by being vigilant and reporting anything suspicious, including if they think someone they know is being radicalised."

Detective Superintendent Glen Channer, from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit Counter Terrorism Policing added: "We simply will not tolerate those who spread fear and hate in our communities and will continue to target, arrest and disrupt anyone involved in such criminality.”

Nigerian Lady Left Injured After Pastor Poured A Liquid Substance Into Her Vagina During Deliverance

An Ekiti State pastor has been accused of causing injuries to a woman, Mrs. Omowale’s private part, after he allegedly poured a liquid substance into her vagina during deliverance.

In an interview with Omo Edema of Voice 89.9FM, she said: “I live in Lagos. One day, my younger brother called me that there was a prophecy from his Prophet, Prophet Oni Olakanye of CAC Palace of Mercy, Mathew, Olokuta, Ado-Ekiti, that I would need to come down to Ado-Ekiti for prayers concerning my infertility.

I have married since 2011, but no child. So I discussed the issue with my husband and he allowed me travel to visit the prophet. When I got to the prophet, a few days later, he first prayed with me at the church reception.

He subsequently called me down into one of the rooms in the mission house where he placed a mirror under my private part—the exercise he called inspection, and later poured some liquid substance in my private part and fingered it in by himself. .

He therefore took me to bathroom where I bathed on a mortar with a black soap and native sponge while he stood in with me. He demanded for N50,000 which I gave to him on the same day.

Lastly, he gave me a ball-shaped substance to insert into my private part in the bedtime when I get home. I did according to his instructions. Since then, my private part has been badly affected with wounds without cure yet.”

However, while speaking with Omo Edema, Prophet Olakanye said: “I know her, but not all her allegations against me were true. I collected N50,000 to work for her and to ensure she has child in life. The substance I gave her to insert into her private part; she didn’t use it according to my instruction.”
