President Buhari reverses dismissal of NBET MD by Minister of Power

President Buhari has overturned the dismissal of the Managing Director of the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company Limited (NBET), Marilyn Amobi, by the Minister of Power, Sale Mamman.

Additionally, the agency had been relocated from the ministry of power to the ministry of finance. The Minister had also formed a 5-man investigative committee to look into allegations against her.

The BMW that Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in is up for sale, with bullet holes still visible, for a price of $1.75 million.
