Our Correspondent gathered that the incident took place few kilometres away from limanti/ Bullabulin Ngarwa communities where series of deadly road attacks masterminded by Boko Haram sects took place in recent times.

Speaking to our Correspondent, a motorist/driver who escaped the attack, Mallam Musa Usman told our Correspondent in an interview that the incident occurred at about 9am on Monday, when some group of terrorists suspected to be Boko Haram in the process of crossing over the highway from their camps in Sambisa Game Forests met with some motorists on the road, barricading them, set all the three vehicles including a truck loaded with orange from Benue state ablaze.

Freeze CoolFM corners eLDee's position on BON/IBAN artists ban.

 
I'm sure you have all heard that several Nigerian artists have been banned by the Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria (BON) and the In dependent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria (IBAN) because of on-going dispute with the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON).

Last week rapper eLDee said regardless of the ban, their music will still reach its audience, and that the ban will only affect the radio stations (see tweet here if you missed it). Cool FM OAP Freeze this afternoon politely disagreed with eLDee's position. He believes that the already established artists will also be affected by the ban

Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribéry in Ballon d'Or battle.

 Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribéry will fight it out for the title of the world's best player after Fifa announced its shortlist for the 2013 Ballon d'Or.

Messi has won the award in each of the last four years, while Ronaldo won the award in 2008 and has since been repeatedly placed second. Ribéry has had a sparkling year for the treble-winners Bayern Munich.

Gareth Bale did not make the cut from the 23-man longlist despite scoring 26 goals for Tottenham last season before becoming the world's most expensive player when he joined Real Madrid for €100m in September.

The winner will be revealed at the Fifa Ballon d'Or gala in Zurich on 13 January. Ronaldo is favourite for the prize after scoring 34 league goals for Real Madrid last season and guiding Portugal to World Cup qualification.

Ribéry is in contention for another award after being named Uefa's best player in Europe for the 2012-13 season, in which he helped Bayern win the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup. Messi has continued to be prolific since being awarded the 2012 prize, leading Barcelona to another La Liga title with 45 goals and Argentina to a place at Brazil 2014.
