Jilted wife caused major security alert at Geneva airport after she made hoax bomb tipoff to stop husband from leaving

A major security alert that caused Geneva airport to step up armed security on Wednesday was caused by a bomb hoax made by a woman who did not want her husband to leave.

As Geneva police informed passengers of heightened checks on Wednesday morning, officers carrying sub-machine guns were busy carrying out urgent security operations around the airport in Switzerland’s second largest city.

It has now emerged that police were acting on an anonymous tip received by Swiss customs on Tuesday, which claimed that a person carrying a bomb would enter the French sector of the airport

According to Swiss prosecutors, security authorities were able to trace the call to a house in Annecy, approximately 41 kilometers south of Geneva. Following a police raid at the French address, a woman admitted to making the false threat to "prevent the departure of her husband."

"Yesterday in the evening, a woman called Swiss customs at Geneva airport. She said that today a person carrying a bomb would be in the French sector of the airport," the Geneva prosecutor's office said in a statement. They found the woman admitted to having made the call and explained that she wanted thereby to prevent her husband from leaving," the statement said

Criminal proceedings against the unidentified woman have been opened by both French and Swiss prosecutors. Police had warned earlier that there would be an “indefinite period” of reinforced security.

During the scare, armed police could be seen manning entrances and perimeters put in place to protect terminal. Authorities have since released a statement saying the preventative controls would be gradually lifted over the course of the day.

Photos: Family members weep as Indonesia fast tracks execution, Titus Igwe ask to see his wife and kids for the last time

Family members of 14 death row prisoners wept and one was close to collapse after learning the largest mass killing of convicted drug felons in Indonesia would take place on Thursday night - 24 hours earlier than expected

Lawyers and embassy staff were also grim-faced as they emerged from the prosecutor's office in Cilacap on Thursday after being informed the deaths of the eight Nigerians, including Titus Igwe, four Indonesians, one Indian and one Pakistani were just hours away.

The executions were proceeding despite nine of the condemned filing last-minute clemency pleas and pressure to postpone the executions amid growing evidence that

"This is just insane, it should be tomorrow," said the director of the Community Legal Aid Institute, Ricky Gunawan, who was filing clemency pleas on behalf of Indonesian woman Merri Utami and Nigerian Humphrey Jefferson Ejike Eleweke.

Human rights lawyer Todung Mulya Lubis said at least three of those facing the firing squad - Mr Eleweke, Ms Utami and Pakistani textile worker Zulfiqar Ali - may have received wrongful judgments.

"In the name of justice, they deserve a retrial," Dr Mulya said. He said many had not lodged clemency pleas until the 11th hour because that would be to admit guilt and they insisted they were innocent. This third round of executions is the largest number of people ever executed in Indonesia's history - it's unprecedented," Dr Mulya said.

The sister-in-law of Michael Titus Igweh,(pictured in veil holding up a family statement condemning the execution) who alleged police had applied electricity to his genitals to force him to confess to heroin possession, said his final request had been to see his wife and family for the last time.

However she said Mr Igweh's wife was in Nigeria and would not arrive in Indonesia until Friday - hours after her husband was killed.

"Yesterday I met Titus and he was angry and upset," Nila said. "He said: 'What kind of justice is this? What kind of country is Indonesia?"

Nila said she had chosen to sacrifice her last-ever visit to Mr Igweh in order to tell his story to the media:

"At this time I believe there are two things that can help Titus, one is God and one is the media. If that was the last time to see Titus, than so be it."

On Thursday morning 17 ambulances - 14 containing coffins -  were ferried to Nusakambangan, known as Indonesia's Alcatraz, where the prisoners will be strapped to wooden posts and shot dead by a firing squad.

Police leaked grisly details leaked to the media by Police about the logistics of executions, including the size of the coffins, which were as long as 190 centimetres for some of the Africans.

They said 198 executioners would be deployed, 140 guards, 70 equipment personnel and a 16-person sterilisation team. Each convict would require chains, a padlock, white aprons, a head cover, a pole, a chair, a marking sticker, a plastic bag for their belongings and scissors.

Meanwhile, Catholic priest in Cilap confirms he will visit 3 Nigerian prisoners ahead of their execution, according to Indonesia bureau chief for ABC, Samantha Hawley.

Former deputy speaker House of Reps, Chibudom Nwuche, detained over N5.6bn alleged fraud

Former Speaker in the House of Representatives, Chibudum Nwuche, was yesterday detained by the EFCC for allegedly being involved in a N5.6 billion amnesty contract scam.

Uwuche, who served as deputy speaker from 1999 to 2003, is alleged to have collected three contracts totaling N5.6 billion from the office of the former Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Kingsley Kuku who served during Jonathan's administration.

EFCC sources say Nwuche, through his company, Foundation for Youth Development, had collected the money in the guise of sending some of the Niger Delta Militants to Malaysia for training which he allegedly never did.

The former deputy speaker had gone to the antigraft agency's head office to honor their invitation but was not released after much questioning. He will be further questioned today July 26th.
