The paper has cited a number of documents, it said to have obtained from Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker who is still trapped at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport.
The secret reports cite the NSA saying “this new capability will result in a much more timely collection response” and that its “success is the result of the FBI working for many months with Microsoft to get this tasking and collection solution established.”

Rivers state fracas: Presidency wants Governor Amaechi probed
The Presidency has advised security agencies to ensure that Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi was investigated and prosecuted after his tenure in office for his alleged involvement in Tuesday’s mayhem in the state House of Assembly.

Why We Must Rally Round Amaechi – Tinubu
In a statement issued by his media office last night, Tinubu described the ensuing crisis in Rivers State as an orchestrated plan that is in line with the PDP’s definition of democracy where minority opinion prevails over majority. He thus warned that Nigerians must rally round the embattled governor and chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, NGF, to ensure that democracy is not re-defined.
