Death sentence: Rev. King knows fate Friday

Death sentence: Rev. King knows fate Friday


Did the condemned leader of the Christian Praying Assembly, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo (alias Rev. King) pour petrol on a worshipper Ann Uzoh and set her on fire?
This is the question the Court of Appeal, Lagos, will answer on Friday.
It will deliver judgment in the appeal filed by the cleric who was sentenced to death by hanging over six years ago.
He is urging the court to quash the sentence passed on him by a Lagos State High Court, Ikeja.
Ezeugo’s lawyer, Mr. Olalekan Ojo, told The Nation on Thursday that he had been served with a notice of the judgment by the court’s officials.
He said: “It has been confirmed. The case of Reverend King is for judgment on Friday.
“I have been served with the hearing notice.”
At the hearing last November 5, Ezeugo urged the court to allow his appeal.
He said the trial judge Justice Joseph Oyewole erred in several respects and “miscarried” justice.
Ojo adopted the appellant’s brief that day.
The respondent, Lagos State Government, represented by Solicitor-General Lawal Pedro (SAN), also adopted its brief.
Ezeugo was convicted and sentenced to death on January 11, 2007, for the alleged murder of a church member, Uzoh.
He was arraigned on September 26, 2006 on a six-count charge of attempted murder and murder.
The prosecution said he poured petrol on the deceased and five other persons.
Uzoh died on August 2, 2006, 11 days after the incident.
Ojo filed a notice of appeal on January 16, 2007, containing 16 grounds of appeal against the judgment.
On June 10, 2008, the Appeal Court granted him leave to argue an additional 16 grounds of appeal through an amended notice of appeal filed on June 15, 2008.
Ojo said Ezeugo did not commit the crime because he was not present at the scene.
He said Uzoh had, in two statements before her death, said she got burnt in a generator accident and that the cleric was not responsible for her injuries.
Ojo said the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) tendered statements which stated that Ezeugo was not responsible for the burns which led to Uzoh’s death, but they were not admitted in evidence.
The lawyer said had those “vital exhibits” been admitted by the judge, “they would have cast doubts on the case of the prosecution.”

Bloggers Diary:How a Lagos big girl landed in trouble for slapping/threatening man with a gun


So I've been experiencing a severe case of writer's block.Well, on Tuesday night was at 1004,Victoria Island Lagos..for those who don't know,its a high brow apartment estate in Lagos.So,I was there trying to purchase some property ..Ok I was there working till about 10pm. I came out to get some fresh air and lo! a serious argument ensued between this young,flashy creamy chick(late 20's) with a white Murano jeep,and a Hausa guy of about 40 years in a red Toyota Camry 2011.



 The lady parked by the side of the road and the guy who was trying to navigate through the tight space,brushed her car slightly.(there was no dent). She started screaming and shouting which was understandable at first .This guy suddenly grew angry and was alluding to the fact that her car had no dent and her screaming was uncalled for. This lady was adamant,"do you know who I am?I'll deal with you".Before you say jack Robinson,she goes to her car pulls out a gun(I now realize was a teaser) and pointed at him threatening to blow his head off.She claimed she was an SSS officer.

As per Hausa guy who wasn't scared,he dared her to shoot and said he wasn't scared of her gun.(everyone thought it was a gun including himself).Then he wanted to walk away and she held him back threatening to slap him.He said"If you slap me,i'll slap you back". By now,people had trickled to the scene and were calming her down.She didn't listen oh..So,i stepped out for a bit and by the time I returned,the situation had escalated as she had slapped him already.

She tried to walk away but the man who had pulled off his shirt in rage ran after her,blocking her.Though he was boiling,he restrained himself from touching her.
So,some ladies came out,and took her into their apartment while the man was cursing and shouting,sitting on the road and almost in tears as he couldn't believe a lady half his age would do such to him..All pleas by several men for him to ignore it and leave fell on deaf ears.

Someone called the Police and when they came, they asked her to show her ID since she pulled out a gun. She didn't have any.They started calling her a criminal and before you know it,they called for a backup van.By this time,this same lady who claimed to be a big girl started begging oooo. I was stunned. Hian! Wasn't she the same one who was bragging some minutes back?

All the people she was calling failed to show up..when she noticed it was the world against her,she resorted to explaining and begging.

Apart from a few men who wan toast..lol , a lady ,and one particular middle aged man, no one came to her rescue as they ordered her to enter the police van.She begged and begged""I'm sorry,I said I'm sorry nah".The Hausa man refused to listen to her o.The men who witnessed her earlier rant and threats,said no,she must go because she assaulted the man...all her pleas fell on deaf ears.They didn't use force on her(kudos to the Police)but they made sure she went with them...

I felt ashamed for her....why brag when you cant back it up...yes,we are ladies,the weaker sex but please sometimes we overstep our boundaries.
She was also very lucky the heated exchange took place in an enlightened place like 1004,if not...would have been a different story(I'll share a shocking story with you all by weekend)

NB:I took photos but decided not to post them..as long as my message has been passed"..

Wetin dem dey hide???

Pastor pulls out gun on church accountant in Benue

 








 THE Benue State Police Command, arrested the pastor of a new generation church in Katsina-Ala (names withheld) for illegal possession of fire arms and assault on the church’s accountant.
 My Mebs gathered that the pastor was apprehended with the firearm by men of the Benue State Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, in Katsina-Ala where he allegedly tried to kill the accountant of the church, Mr. Philip Toryila, during a serious disagreement over money.
According to our source,”the incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the pastor ordered the church accountant to handover church monies to him for execution of a project and he refused.
“The refusal of the accountant angered the pastor who engaged him in a fracas and in the process pulled out a gun on the accountant.
“In the process, the accountant shouted for help which attracted the attention of another church official who alerted the police and they quickly drafted some armed men of the squad to the place and arrested the pastor.”
The source added that “the accountant sustained a major facial injury and other parts of his body and was quickly rushed to a private hospital in Katsina-Ala where is now receiving treatment.”
Confirming the story, Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Deputy Suprintendent of Police  Daniel Ezeala, said: “The arrested pastor was brought to the state command and he will soon be charged to court for illegal possession of firearms but we are still conducting investigations into the matter.”

EVIL CHILDREN: 2 sons kidnap 74-yr-old father


EVIL CHILDREN: 2 sons kidnap 74-yr-old fatherTwo suspected children from hell have been arrested in Anambra State for allegedly kidnapping their father. The two brothers, Ifeanyi and Obinna, aged 44 and 33 respectively, were arrested by the State Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), led by Supol James Nwafor, after they were implicated in the alleged abduction of their father, Chief Mike Onwukamuche.
The two sons were said to have demanded for N5 million ransom from their father. According to investigation, the 74-year-old victim was abducted in Ojota and taken to Obosi and was allegedly held hostage for one week by the suspects. Both Ifeanyi, who was the victim’s heir and his younger brother, Obinna, according to investigation decided to kidnap their father because he did not give them money to support the upkeep of their families when they requested.
The two alleged evil brothers were unmasked by their younger brother, Dr Emeka, who suspected a foul play when their father suddenly disappeared. The younger brother suspected that his elder brothers must be connected with their father’s disappearance. He followed up his suspicion with lodging a formal complaints with the SARS whose operatives swung into action immediately and effected the arrest of Ifeanyi and Obinna and their friend, who owns the house where the victim was held hostage.
Ifeanyi explained his role to CrimeWatch: “ I am the first son of my father, Chief Mike Onwukamuche and I have to kidnap my father. I am a businessman, I travelled to Thailand and I was dealing on drugs before I was deported. In November 2012. I told my father that I was handicapped and that I needed some money to start a business. But despite the fact that my family was suffering he kept on promising and I have no means of livelihood. I organized with my younger brother, Obinna, who was in the same situation and we arranged with my friends to kidnap him.
“The four-man gang of kidnappers including Obinna participated and kidnapped my father from Ojoto and took him to Obosi, and kept him in my friend’s house for one week.” “We demanded N5million from my father. My father is a businessman and he sells baby wears at Onitsha and he has a lot of landed property in Onitsha. But he refused to assist us. It was my junior brother, Dr Emeka who reported to the police that our father had disappeared and reported the case to the police and we were arrested”. Another suspect, Obinna explained his role: “I followed the kidnappers to kidnap my father.
I asked my father to give me money to start another business because my business was not doing well. My father has enough landed property in Onitsha. “I asked him to give me N3m to start another business but he refused. We arranged with my elder brother, Ifeanyi and other kidnappers and kidnapped my father and kept him in one of the kidnappers’ house. My father spent one week with the kidnappers but my father didn’t know that I was part of those who kidnapped him.”
The Onwukamuches hail from Idemili Local Government Area of Anambra State. Obinna said:  “We haven’t collect the money (ransom) but we were about collecting it when men of the SARS arrested us.” Another suspect, Obi told CrimeWatch that they the victim. We carried out the kidnapping with Obinna, his son who was my friend and took him to my own house where he spent one week there. “We demanded N5million from him before the SARS came and rounded us up,” he said.
The Anambra state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ballah Nasarawa told CrimeWatch that it was one of the victim’ children, Dr Emeka Onwukamuche who came to report to SARS and his brothers, Ifeanyi and Obinna who confessed to have kidnapped their father before the father was released from where he was kept. CP Nasarawa explained that they demanded for N5million and Chief Mike Onwukamuche couldn’t believe that his sons were the architects of his abduction until when the two sons confessed to him that they were the one who masterminded his kidnapping
The victim expressed shock about the incident, “ I couldn’t believe it that my own first son could arranged with his younger brother to kidnap me because they wanted me to give them money to start business. They were requesting for N3m to start another business. I promised to give them but that they should be patient. I sent Ifeanyi abroad but when he got there he sold drugs and he was deported back home. Obinna was given money to do business but he squandered the money and requested for another N3m. I promised to give them the money but that they should give me more time.”
He said that it was his junior son; Dr Emeka who came to his rescue by reporting the case to SARS in Awka when he saw that I had disappeared from the house. He said that he has disowned the two sons and said they should not come back to him and that they should face the consequence of their action. CP Nasarawa said that the three suspects would soon be charge to court.’

Mechanic shot by SARSmen, wants N200m

Adebanjo
The 30-year-old mechanic, Oladele Adebanjo, who was allegedly tortured and shot in the leg by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Police Command, has sued the police for N200m damages.
PUNCH Metro had reported on November 14, 2012, that Adebanjo was shot while in detention by SARS policemen over allegations that he stole a commercial bus.
Adebanjo had acquired a Mazda bus model E2000 on a hire purchase agreement of N1.8m from Olatunji Adeyemi in August 2011. The bus was, however, stolen before the full payment could be made.
Adeyemi, who was irked by the development, reported the incident at the Oworo Police Division before the matter was transferred to SARS where Adebanjo was allegedly tortured and shot with a pistol in the leg by Taofeek Olokode, the head of the SARS team handling the matter.
In a suit with number ID/943/12 filed before Justice Bola Okikiolu-Ighile, of an Ikeja High Court,  Adebanjo joined the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Muhammed Abubakar, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Umar Manko, Olokode (the Investigating Police Officer) and Adeyemi in the suit.
The application filed by  Adebanjo’s  lawyer, Gerald Abonyi stated, “We seek a declaration that his arrest and incarceration by the 1st to 3rd respondents( IG, Lagos CP and Olokode respectively) at the prompting and instigation of the 4th respondent, Adeyemi, amounts to a gross breach of the applicant’s fundamental human rights and the Africa Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.
“We seek relief in the sum of N200m against all the respondents jointly and severally for the gross violation of Adebanjo’s fundamental human rights.”

N27bn pension thief remanded in prison


Members of the anti-corruption network protesting the light sentence given to an Assistant Director, Police Pension Office in Abuja ... on Wednesday.
Members of  civil rights groups  marched on  the premises of the Ministry of Justice, the National Assembly and the Supreme Court  in Abuja on Wednesday  as they  protested  the light sentence imposed on a former Assistant Director of the Police Pension Office, Mr. John Yakubu Yusuf, who admitted conniving with  others to defraud the PPO  and pensioners of N27.2bn.
They  demanded the investigation  of  Justice Abubakar Talba of an Abuja High, Court  for sentencing  Yusuf  to only  two years imprisonment with an option of N750,000 fine.
Yusuf was, however, rearrested and rearraigned on Wednesday  by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for willfully “failing to disclose his interest in a private company known as SY-A Global Services Limited.”
But just as another Abuja  High Court remanded the convict in prison custody till March 1, the   civil rights groups’ members and students  numbering over 200 reminded  the National Assembly, the Ministry  of Justice  and the Supreme Court of Justice Talba’s  past judgments.
The protesters, who are members of the  Anti-Corruption Network, National Association of Nigerian Students and Association of Unemployed Youths of Nigeria,  wore  black T-shirts  and carried  placards and banners  with different  inscriptions.
By 10:30 am, they had convereged on the Justice Ministry and  barriccaded the gates and later moved to the Supreme Court and the National Assembly, asking for a retrial of Yusuf’s case and the sanctioning of Justice  Talba, among others.
Some of the inscriptions on the banners and placards read, “Judiciary is the hope of the highest bidders”, “Egunje don spoil judges”, “Same Justice Talba did Kenny Martins fine”; “the blood of dead pensioners will hunt commercial judges” and “Talbanism: N32bn =N75, 000!!!,” “Bad Maths”, among others.
The Executive Secretary of  the ACN and former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Dino Melaye, who led a convoy of  power bikes, said President Goodluck Jonathan, members of the National Assembly, leadership of security agencies and others in  leadership positions must  realise  that Nigerians were tired of corruption.
He said, “We are collaborating now with Nigerian students and others interested in fighting corruption and part of our strategy is to ensure that we shout barawo (thief)  in the North; ole (thief) in the South-West; and Onyeoshi (thief)  in the South- East  on corrupt people.”

Syria crisis: 'Bodies of executed men' found in Aleppo


The bodies of dozens of young men, all apparently summarily executed, have been found in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, rebels and activists say.
At least 65 bodies were found on the banks of the Quwaiq river in the western district of Bustan al-Qasr, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported.
Most had their hands tied behind their backs and gunshot wounds to the head.
Video footage of the gruesome discovery was posted by activists on YouTube.
It showed a large number of bodies strewn in and around the banks of the Quwaiq, which skirts the western side of Aleppo.
The bodies were caked in grey mud and showed signs of rigor mortis. There were also signs of blood having poured from many of the heads.
Rigor mortis, a stiffening of the limbs of a corpse, begins around three hours after death, peaks at around 12 hours and is completely dissipated some two days later.

My Ex-Husband Didn't Love Me This Way (A Must Read For Every Woman)



My marriage ended in 2008 after 9 years and four kids because my ex and I just couldn't make it work. The best part of it all was that we managed to remain friends after we parted ways. We see each other often because of our kids and over the years we've become quite close. If you see us together you would never guess we were divorced. I never thought exes could be friends but my relationship with mine has proven me wrong.

But there's a problem now. My ex husband met a lady 8 months ago and his attitude totally changed after then. He doesn't come to the house as often as he used to, doesn't see his kids as often as he used to, doesn't call me anymore..and when he eventually shows up at my house all he talks about is her. He's moved her into his home, bought her a Mercedes and taken her on two romantic trips abroad, all in 8 months.

What am I complaining about, you may wonder? Well I was with him for 13 years and gave him four children and he never ever for once took me on a romantic trip abroad. Not once in 13 years.
Just two nights ago, he told me that he's never loved anyone as much as he loves this woman and is planning to pop the question this valentine.

I was with him for 13 years, 4 years dating and 9 years married and he's never loved anyone as much as he loves this woman he met 8 months ago? I know you read this blog occasionally J, thank you!

Nigeria : Why We Agreed To Ceasefire - Boko Haram

* Hope say una mean am ooh? *

A group claiming to be a faction of the Jamatu Ahlis Sunnah lil daawati wal jihad sect, popularly known as Boko Haram, said on Monday that it decided to ceasefire in Maiduguri because they had come to a realization that Muslims suffer from the attacks.

The group is led by one Abu Mohamed Abdulazeez who claims to be the second in command in the sect’s leadership hierarchy. He also claimed to have spoken on behalf of the overall leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau.Mr. Abdulazeez, who spoke in Hausa language, told journalists in Maiduguri that it decided to end the crisis so that fellow Muslims can live peacefully.

“We, on our own, in the top hierarchy of our movement under the leadership of Imam Abubakar Shekau, as well as some of our notable followers agreed that our brethren in Islam, both women and children are suffering unnecessarily; hence we resolved that we should bring this crisis to an end,” he said.

Mr. Abdulazeez, who also said he heads the Southern and Northern Borno cells of the sect, told reporters that the announcement of the ceasefire followed a series of meetings it held with the government of Borno State where it got commitments from the government that its members in captivity will be released.
“We have also told the government to try to live up to our demands that our members in detention should be released.

“We hope the government will not betray us this time around, because we all know that it was because of the continued detentions of our members that this crisis continued for this long. And if government fails to do as it now promised, then this conflict will never have an end,” he said.

Mr. Abdulazeez called on the members of the sect to lay down their arms and asked government to arrest anyone who took up arms and carried attacks in the name of the sect.

“We, therefore, called on all those that identify themselves with us and our course, to from today lay down their arms. Let every member who hears this announcement relay it to the next member who hasn’t heard.

“We have met with the Borno State Government on two occasions and the fallout of the meeting is to ceasefire. Presently we are going to comply with the ceasefire order and by the time we are done with that, then government security agencies can go ahead to arrest whoever they find carrying arms or killing under our names,” he said.

Dana plane crash site now robbers’ den

BARELY eight months after the Dana plane crash, in Ojokoro Local Council Development Area (LCDA), armed robbers have turned the crash site into a hideout.
Although the state government has barricaded site, rubble from the destroyed structures have not been removed and weeds have overgrown the once upon a residential area.

Mebs said that residents of the area are now gripped by fear of attack from the robbers, who hide in the site at night.
It was also learnt that the bad state of the road which hinders vehicular movement is also aiding robbers in perpetuating their nefarious acts.
Mrs. Bashir, a resident of Olaniyi Street said that her son was attacked by the robbers while on his way to board the early morning train.
According to her, “Since my son was attacked, we have stopped leaving our home before 6:00 am. We are gripped by the fear of the robbers always.”
Engr. Adeleke Matthew, another resident, decried the poor state of the site, saying “it has contributed to insecurity in the community.”

Masquerader shoots Islamic cleric dead in Ogun


The masquerader’s house
Tension gripped the residents of Ijaye in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital on Monday following the alleged killing of a Muslim cleric, Lateef Amusa, by a masquerader on Sunday.
Also, the police command in the state said it arrested four suspects, including a masquerader, for the killing.
Thirty-year-old Amusa was allegedly shot dead by a masquerader popularly known as, Leyin Aponle, during the celebrations of the annual Egungun Festival in Ijaye.
The victim, who was said to be riding on a motorcycle, allegedly defied the earlier warning from the masquerade to disembark from the motorbike shortly before the incident occurred.
The alleged defiance of the masquerader’s order by the deceased resulted in the former shooting at the Islamic cleric who immediately fell and died on the spot.
The killing infuriated members of his sect who on Monday morning invaded Ijaye, armed with kegs of petrol and other dangerous weapons and attacked the family house of the masquerader which they set ablaze.
The sect members were said to have also removed the masquerader’s costume which they dragged to the street entrance before setting it ablaze. They also destroyed the masquerader’s other paraphernalia.
The charred remains of the burnt costume and paraphernalia littered the surroundings when our correspondent visited the area.
My Associate Mebs observed a detachment of heavily armed regular and anti-riot policemen drawn from the different divisions in the state keeping vigil at Ijaye.
The Balogun of Ijaye, Chief Ganiu Babayeju-Alemo, told our correspondent that the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, had placed a ban on the continuation of the 17-day annual Egungun Festival.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the arrests of four suspects, said  the Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye, had ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
Adejobi, an Assistant Superindentent of Police said, “The CP has also ordered that all masquerade outings and festivals in the state be put on hold till further notice.”
The police spokesman added that that the masquerader and the other suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations into the matter were concluded.

Mother keeps daughter in asylum for attending ‘strange’ church

Ndiomu 
Ndiomu
An elderly woman, Mrs. Florence Omotehinwa, has been accused of bundling her 40-year-old daughter, Mrs. Toyin Ndiomu, in a psychiatric hospital for attending “an unconventional” church.
The victim, who attends Jordan Ministries, Opebi, Lagos, was abducted on January 12, 2013, at 25 Joel Ogunnaike Street, while she was celebrating her 40th birthday.
A legal consultant with Project Alert on Violence Against Women, Mr. Benjamin Odeh, told our correspondent that the victim was a mother of two and had been separated from her husband because of domestic violence.
Odeh said on the day the victim was abducted, her mother stormed her party with naval operatives and policemen.
He said, “On that day, Mrs. Omotehinwa and Ndiomu’s estranged husband came with two women, naval personnel and two armed policemen. They seized the victim, pushed her into a vehicle and sped off.”
He said the victim was taken to Farri Psychiatric Hospital, where she was being kept incommunicado.
The hospital is  located on Gbaja Street, Surulere, the matron denied our correspondent access to Ndiomu, saying that she had been given strict orders by her mother not to allow visitors to have access to her.
The matron, who did not identify herself, said, “This is not a conventional hospital, it is a hospital for patients with mental illnesses and as such we cannot allow just anybody to see her.
“Her mother said no one should be allowed to see her and we are standing by that instruction. We don’t know anything about abduction; our own responsibility is to treat patients.”
After waiting for hour, Omotehinwa, showed up at the hospital. She told our correspondent that she brought her daughter to the hospital because she had been brainwashed by the church she was attending.
Omotehinwa described the church as occult, adding that it was the pastor of the church, Chigbo Ndukwe, that made her daughter to leave her husband, saying that the separation was not because of domestic violence.
She said, “Since my daughter started attending that church, her life has not been the same. She is now distant from the entire family to the extent that she now addresses me as Mrs. Omotehinwa, not mummy.
“That church is a cult, they hold their services at 6am on Saturday and they kiss their pastor on his hands and feet to greet him. Almost all the women there are divorced. They even changed my daughter’s name to Ifeanyichukwu Ndwukwe
“As her mother, I have done nothing wrong by bringing her to this hospital because I have her best interest at heart. She is the second of my four children and I raised all of them singlehanded after their father, a Rear Admiral, was killed 17 years ago.”
Omotehinwa however said her daughter had no history of mental illness.
Dr.LA Farri, who owns the hospital, confirmed to our correspondent on the telephone that the victim was indeed mentally unstable.
Farri said he was empowered by law to hold a mentally unstable person against his or her will.
He said, “I am an expert and a London-trained neuropsychiatric and I have been practising for over 25 years. I was Chief consultant neuropsychiatric at the General Hospital, so I know my onions.
“The victim was treated a few years ago at Yaba Psychiatric Hospital after showing signs of mental illness.
“Section 10 of the Nigerian constitution empowers me to hold anyone that seems unfit mentally. The police have already sent me a letter on the matter and I will respond.”
A copy of the victim’s case file reads in part that she suffers from “Delusional thinking, schizophrenia and she exhibits paranoia towards members of her kith and kin.”
When our correspondent visited Jordan Ministries located on 5 Agbaoku Street, Opebi, the pastor denied the allegations.
Pastor Ndukwe said those involved in brainstorming were Ndiomu family and that was why they locked her up in an asylum even though nothing was wrong with her.
Ndukwe said Ndiomu was a victim of domestic violence, adding that her husband and the family took the step because he (Ndukwe) did not encourage her to go and reconcile with her husband.
He said, “A 40-years-old woman should be able to choose where she wants to worship? The main issue is that Ndiomu’s mother wants her to remain with her husband because this is Toyin’s second marriage. They wanted me to encourage her to go back to her husband but I did not because God did not instruct me to do that.
“The family claims she is brainwashed and yet she runs a successful business. The mother has deliberately prevented anyone from seeing her because she knows there is nothing wrong with her.”
Ndukwe said the allegation that his church was occult was an attempt to tarnish his image.
He said, “I hold services on Saturday so that members can go to their respective churches on Sunday. My sermons are on CD free of charge and anyone is free to come and attend any of our services if they have doubts.”
The police at the Zone 2 Command had begun investigation into the matter after a petition by her lawyer.
The source said, “The police have written the doctor but we are not yet satisfied with the case because the doctor has not disclosed all the facts due to patient-doctor confidentiality”, she said.
When contacted on telephone, the spokesperson for the command, Femi Balogun, said he could not immediately confirm because he had not been briefed on the matter

Ex-Koko mansion housemate married to German Consul General?

Ex-Koko mansion housemate married to German Consul General?


Model and ex- Koko mansion housemate Chioma Akuezue may have recently quietly got married to Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Nigeria, Mr. Walter Von Den Driesch.
The couple was spotted last Thursday in Ado-Ekiti when they joined Governor Kayode Fayemi for a business dinner in the state capital.
It is not known when the marriage was consummated though Chioma is still being addressed with her maiden name, Akuezue.
Sources close to the Ekiti State government house confirmed that she was introduced as the wife of the Consul General  which informed why the caption of the photograph of the couple with the governor sent to the media described Chioma as the diplomat’s wife.
Chioma could not be reached for confirmation at press time.
That marriage may come as a surprise to many close watchers who thought marriage may not at least be on the agenda for the ambitious pretty-looking entertainer who seems to have the world at her feet.
Though relatively unknown in some circles, Chioma   was in the spotlight years back as one of the housemates of the one-off reality TV show, Koko Mansion.
She turned out to be one of the talking points of the reality TV show, but the musician who was 21 years old at the time was later evicted bringing an end to her stay in the house.
Her slender frame later lured her into modeling; a profession she is also passionate about. She even described her biggest challenge in life as her desire to prove to those fashion organizers who hurt her
ego a few years ago by telling her she wasn’t fit for runway modeling and instead concentrate her energy on her ambition to become a successful musician

$67b reserves: Adamant Ezekwesili challenges govt to public debate

$67b reserves: Adamant Ezekwesili challenges govt to public debate

A former Vice President of the World Bank, Africa Region, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, yesterday remained adamant, saying the Federal Government should account for how it spent the $67billion reserves inherited from the former administration of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

She also challenged the Federal Government to a debate on all the issues she raised.
She, however, added that she has nothing to hide on how she managed funds allocated to the Federal Ministry of Education during her 10-month tenure.
Ezekwesili, who made her position known in a statement in Abuja last night, said she remains resolute in demanding accountability on the management of the Foreign Reserves and the Excess Crude Account.
She said: “I remain resolute in demanding full disclosure and accountability by the Federal Government on the issues of poor management of oil revenues- especially the Excess Crude Account and the Foreign Reserve Account.
“The recent reaction by the spokesperson of the Administration failed to respond responsibly to my demand for accountability.
“In my Convocation Lecture at the University of Nigeria , I had stated concerning the poor management of oil revenues as follows:
“While these countries moved up the manufacturing and economic development ladder in my 50 years of existence, all I can say for Nigeria is that during the same period I have known at least five cycles of commodity booms that offered us rare opportunities to use revenues generated from oil to transform our economy. Sadly, each cycle ended up sliding us farther down the productivity ladder.”

Rick Ross' Rolls Royce Crashes After Drive-By Shooting


Rapper Rick Ross performs at the Beats by Dr. Dre CES after-party in Las Vegas on January 10.
"Teflon Don" rapper Rick Ross crashed his silver Rolls Royce into an apartment building after he heard gunfire along a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, street Monday morning, police said.

"The driver of the Rolls Royce attempted to drive away from the direction of the shots being fired and lost control of the vehicle, striking a nearby apartment building," Fort Lauderdale Police
Detective DeAnna Garcia said.

Ross and a female passenger were not hurt by the wreck or the gunshots, Garcia said.
"The suspects fled from the area prior to police arrival," she said.

The incident, however, called attention to threats against the artist's life made in a street gang's videos and posted online in recent months.

"We're pulling up on you," a man who identified himself as a member of the Gangster Disciples warned in one of the videos. "Whatever city, whatever state, the pressure on."
Several videos purporting to be from Gangster Disciple members in several states -- including

Georgia, North Carolina and Florida -- appeared on YouTube late last year demanding that Ross pay a fee to them for his use of the Star of David, which they claim as a gang symbol, and a reference to one of their founders in his music and marketing.

"You got to cut the check," one video said. "Tell your boss man he got to get that check, or all you in trouble."

"We need that cash right now," another said.
Ross, 37, whose albums include "Teflon Don" in 2010 and "Deeper Than Rap" a year earlier, told south Florida radio station 99 Jamz last month that he was not intimidated by the threats.

"Ain't never no checks getting cut," he said. "I don't play those games. I consider that extortion."

Court orders wife, in-laws of sex-starved man to refund N570,000

Gavel 
An Abuja Area Court sitting in Lugbe, Abuja, on Monday ordered a 16-year-old girl, Maryam Suleiman, and her parents to refund N570,000 to her husband, Mukailu Naibi, over a fraudulent marriage.
Delivering judgment in the case, the judge, Haruna Masanawa, ruled that Suleiman and her parents must refund the money to Naibi within 30 days. Masanawa also ordered that Naibi’s estranged wife, who had filed for divorce, must remain married to him pending the full refund of the amount.
``Based on the evidence before me, the court is convinced that the plaintiff’s parents are dubious people that no child should be proud of.
``They collected money from different suitors, all with the fraudulent intention of marrying their daughter out to them; all of which turned out to be fake promises. This honourable court hereby orders the plaintiff to pay the defendant the sum of N570,000 before divorce is granted to her,’’ Masanawa said.
Naibi of Keke village, Kaduna, whose wife allegedly starved him of sex for two years of their marriage, had demanded N1. 2 million as compensation from the wife’s parents before he would agree to his wife's request for divorce.
Naibi, 37, while testifying in the case, said the amount covered the bride price he paid before marrying Suleiman.
He told the court that the amount also covered the cost of damage done to his house after Suleiman set it on fire before filing for divorce.
Naibi tendered written documents with records of all expenses made on his estranged wife and her parents, in addition to presenting a witness who testified in his favour.
He told the court that his wife had refused to make love to him since they got married two years ago.
``Your worship, since we got married two years ago, my wife never allowed me to make love to her for once and all my attempts to do it always led to fighting. I married her out of love and I still love her, but with this development, I have no choice, but to ask the court to grant her divorce wish for the sake of peace,” Naibi said.
In her testimony, Suleiman said her husband had made love to her once but she was not impressed and so wanted divorce.
``I don’t love him; I don’t love anybody who bears his name and I hate anybody who loves him,” she told the court.

Manchester United become first sports team in world valued over $3bn

Manchester United have become the first sports team in the world to be valued at more than $3bn. A surge in the club's shares after a poor start when they were offered on the New York Stock Exchange in August has seen the overall value of United rise to $3.3bn (£2.1bn).
According to Forbes, United are comfortably ahead of the world's second-most valuable sports team, the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, worth $2.1bn (£1.4bn).
The United shares were initially offered to the public at $14 and are now worth just under $17. It means a huge increase in the overall wealth of the Glazer family, who have a controlling interest in United, and the billionaire investor George Soros – the 22nd richest person in the world – who bought a 7.5% stake in the club.
United's commercial growth appears to be driving the share price up, with the club announcing several new sponsorship deals since August, qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages and with the prospect of the new bumper Premier League television deals that are coming on stream from August.
The Glazers sold 10% of their shares in the initial public offering sale in August but United's vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, insisted in October the family will not sell the club for "many, many years" despite ongoing interest.
Woodward said they had no interest in cashing in the rest of their holding.
