Teacher Protects Herself with Life Jacket, Pupils have Nothing

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 03:41 AM PST

Why is the school risking people's children's life using a canoe for excursion in the first place? Before we look at the anomaly of a teacher who felt comfortable with a life jacket in the midst of kids.

We think everything about this water trip with kids is not right.

U.S. policemen fight dirty at crime scene | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 03:08 AM PST

Two U.S. police team in Detroit have engaged each other in a brawl after an operation to arrest drug dealers and their customers failed.

Detroit Police Department has in the meantime commenced internal investigation into the incident as it wondered why two different precincts should engage each other on an east side neighbourhood.



Trouble started when the two special ops officers from the 12th Precinct were operating a "push off" on Andover near Seven Mile.

Two undercover officers had pretended to be dope dealers, waiting for eager customers to approach, arresting potential buyers and seizing their vehicles.

But this time instead of customers – special ops officers from the 11th Precinct showed up. Not realising they were fellow officers, they ordered the other undercover officers to the ground.

FOX 2 is told the rest of the special ops team from the 12th Precinct showed up, and officers began raiding the drug house in the 19300 block of Andover.

But instead of fighting crime, officers from both precincts began fighting with each other.

Sources say guns were drawn and punches were thrown while the homeowner stood and watched.

The department's top cops were notified along with Internal Affairs. One officer was taken to the hospital.

Each officer involved is now under investigation – as the department tried to determine what went wrong.

"You have to have more communication," said the resident. "I don't understand what happened about that – communicate."

FOX 2 is told one of the units had body camera video that detailed the entire incident. That is now part of the internal investigation and we are working to get our hands on it.

Accident Victim Heading to Hospital Involved In An Accident

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 03:06 AM PST

A lady, Jane Chile, took to her page to share a testimony on behalf of a stranger who was involved in an accident with her child who suffered a broken bone from a previous accident.

Read how she chronicled the unfortunate incident...

"In the case I haven't testified this year, God please forgive me. Today I am testifying on behalf of a total stranger. May God be praised ������ So on my way back from church, this was what we saw in front of our compound. This woman requested for Uber to take her child with broken bone as a result of prior accident to the hospital, the Uber picked them up and on getting to this sloppy part of my street, inclining the road, tragedy struck. The car started rolling back, according to the driver, his gear stopped responding and the car rolled back with speed and buried itself to the wall. 
The miraculous thing here is, it dodged the electric pole right beside the wall, dodge the bigger slope down that led to a dead end, went in between the wall and the pole and lodges inside the gateman post. You might not understand this but if it had gone left through the dead end slope, it would have been dead bodies. Amazingly, they all came out with just scratches. I had a little chat with the Uber rider about the damage to his car, if he has the comprehensive insurance, he told me they have a way of bypassing the requirements these days. 
I wanted to write about how disappointed I am with Uber recruiters and the reduction of their standard then it occurred to me that this can also happen to a standard car. I decided to thank God for all lives saved and thank him again for not giving us a blooded Sunday to remember. It is well with us all."

Corper Brutalized By Police In Katsina, His Pastor Flogged

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 03:06 AM PST

As shared by the victim John "Genesis" Okpo...

Is this the NYSC Katsina I dreamt of? I never stole. I never fought or quarrelled with anyone. 
We had just closed from Friday church service around 7:50pm, some were having some discussions with the pastor on our way home. Before we knew it, someone gripped me and another by our waist belts. It's the police.

We tried to explain, "we're corpers!" "we just left the church now!" Instead of listening to us, another came, gave us hot slaps and forced us to enter their pickup.

Our pastor tried to get attention to explain we were together, they whipped him with 'koboko' ryt in our presence.

About 30 of us were taken to the police station. I identified myself with every I.D card I had. But nevertheless we were thrown into a stinking, cold, mosquito-infested cell room to sleep on bare floor.

About 14hrs later (d next day). I became worried and agitated, I begged them to make phone call. They refused. So I requested that my offences be read to me because I was already in a cell for hours. I told them I have a right to a phone call and to know my offence. 

The next thing is that they brought out and used baton to brutalize my knees and ankles while the other was slapping me.

I have never had a police case and I'm suffering this much for serving this country.

From Pepper Seller To PhD: Nigerian Lady Breaks Record At Canadian University

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 02:21 AM PST

A former Nigerian pepper hawker who goes by the name Adey Orla (Adeola) took to her page to share her success story.

The lady who is the last child out of five revealed how she worked hard to become the first black PhD holder in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan.

Read her interesting story...

As the 5th child of 5, I always had to wait for my turn.

I was the last, a girl child and raised by a mother who is farmer and a father who has little, I hawked pepper on the streets of Ibadan as early as age 10 to help my mum.

Went to public primary and secondary school in Ibadan. Attended OOU and studied Physics. Because I had a 2.1, it opened the door for me to proceed to Finland for a Masters Degree in Biomedical Engineering.

During this masters degree, I worked part-time as a cleaner and did this after my Masters as well. Out of determination, I applied to over 100 schools for my PhD and finally got a full 3 year scholarship (later extended to 4 years scholarship) at University of Saskatchewan, Canada to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. While in that PhD program, I worked part-time as a makeup artist, teaching assistant, braided hair and fix weaves to make extra money.

Today I walked the stage as the first black person to bag a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from University of Saskatchewan, Canada!!! I walked this stage for you Mama Africa and for my Motherland Nigeria!!! I walked the stage for all of you black women disrespected and looked down on!!!! I walked for all of you from my ghetto hood "Mokola", Ibadan.

I walked for all OSU students and ex-students that got that look from people who think we are not brilliant!! I walked for all of you Africans in Finland wondering what is next for you!!

Specially, I walked for you my parents. siblings and extended family in fulfillment of your dreams! Specially, I walked the stage for you my late sister Omoleye Olubamiji and my late mentor Ayodele Olatunbosun.

Today I walked for my future husband and my unborn children who patiently waited for me to fulfill my dreams so that he can have a wife he will be proud of and they can have a role model to look up to.

I walked for all immigrants and all young adults who strived everyday chasing their dreams!!! I walked in celebration of the unfailing love of my first and one truly true love Jesus Christ (in you I walk in you I live and in you I have had and will continue to have my being)!!!



Be bold, be innovative, be different, be you, be everything you want to be but remember to put God first!!! Let no man, upbringing, money, circumstance, colorism, past mistakes, institution, company, partner, background, let nothing tell you you can't do it. Go smart! Go hard!! Go for Gold!!! Go with God!!! Just Get Going!!!!! #Grad2017 #PhDConvocation #UofS

LOL! Obiano says "Obaze Should Be in Syria, Chidoka Should Be Controlling Traffic"

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 02:21 AM PST

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra on Sunday took a sly dig at his opponents during the governorship debate organised on Sunday by Channels Television.

Obiano aimed digs at the PDP candidate, Oseloka Obaze and the UPP candidate, Osita Chidoka.

Obiano, who is seeking a second term in office on the platform of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) argued that none of those out to boot him out of power were competent to be governor and that they were better off doing something else.

He also accused them of lacking facts about the state even though Obaze, a former diplomat at the United Nations, served under him as Secretary to the State Government for more than a year.

"By the way, what Anambra requires is somebody that can drive the process and I am the only guy here that can do so. Tony (Nwoye) doesn't have the executive capacity, he hasn't worked in his entire life.

"My good friend Oseloka Obaze worked in the UN, but the best place for him to work now is in Syria – to be distributing relief materials," he said.

He also said Chidoka who was in-charge of Federal Road Safety should be busy controlling traffic.

Presidency Replies Sule Lamido For Attacking Buhari

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 01:56 AM PST

The Presidency has described former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, as intellectually and morally bankrupt for daring to criticise President Buhari's anti-corruption war in recent media interviews.
The presidency said, "It is only in Nigeria that a leader will divert money belonging to the public into his children's account and then turn round to start pontificating on public morals, in the process subjecting the nation's honest leadership to daily attacks based on falsehood."

The SSA to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement in Abuja.

He said the attacks on the president by the PDP's presidential aspirant "is a reflection of the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the opposition in the country."

He raised the alarm over what he described as a grand plan by politicians seeking the destruction of national institutions, such as the courts, the EFCC and everything good that the nation stands for.

The presidential spokesman said, "It is even worse that such a person, facing criminal prosecution, will start going round saying he wants to be President.

"Is this not one of the reasons why other countries are laughing at Nigeria? This is hooliganism. It is not opposition politics."

He added, "The nation's war against corruption as spearheaded by the EFCC, was incidentally formulated by the past PDP administration. It is a tragic irony that the leaders of the same party are doing their utmost to weaken or destroy it. Is that why he is seeking to lead the country?

"Time and again, President Buhari lamented that strongmen destroyed the country's strong institutions and that it will take strong men to rebuild them.

"He deserves the support of everyone to rebuild such institutions because they serve a common good."

Appealing to opposition politicians to give Buhari support, he said, "In his diatribe published in a national newspaper (not The PUNCH) last week, it is clear that the former governor not only set out to mock the President but the judiciary and important national institutions as part of an orchestrated plot to divert public attention from his scam-related cases.

"If President Buhari's war against corruption, as he said, is a mockery, what does one say of former governor Lamido's sworn efforts to sabotage the country's efforts to rid itself of the cancer of corruption?

"If accountability of public officials is the very essence of a mature democracy, it is, indeed, ironic that a politician seeking the leadership of the country is making a mockery of public institutions and the leaders seeking to entrench them.

"Nigeria settled for President Buhari as the watchman of their common wealth. The citizens are happy with that and the whole world is applauding.

"African Union just named him as the champion of the war against corruption. Opposition politicians like ex-governor Lamido need to come to terms with the fact that their act needs updating."

Buhari Approves New 2,250 Job Slots For EFCC

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 01:21 AM PST

As part of plans to beef up the anti-graft war, President Muhammadu Buhari has approved 2,250 job slots for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Consequently, the EFCC is expected to recruit 750 new employees per annum over three years.

The anti-graft agency in collaboration with the Federal Character Commission (FCC) has started the recruitment test nationwide based on the zonal offices of the EFCC in order to create a level-playing ground for candidates.

The commission was also said to have resorted to zonal basis in order to avoid a repeat of the stampede which affected a similar exercise in the Nigerian Immigration Service.

The President approved the slots to increase the commission's number of core and support staff since the anti-graft war is moving to the next stage.

It was however learnt that some highly-placed Nigerians want the recruitment to hold in Abuja so as to be able to wield influence.

A document obtained by our correspondent indicated that the EFCC has written to the Federal Character Commission (FCC) and obtained approval to go ahead with the recruitment.

The document showed that each zonal recruitment test is being coordinated by a Director of EFCC, two commissioners from the EFCC and other top staff of the anti-graft agency.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: "The approval letter was specific that we should employ at least 750 workers per year for the next three years. We have brought this approval to the notice of the relevant committees in the National Assembly. There is no question of secret or under-the-table recruitment.

"We decided to take the recruitment process to the zonal offices to create a level-playing ground for all. And given the high number of applicants, we chose zonal procedure to avoid recruitment stampede,

"But we are not waiving our recruitment procedures under any guise for the new hands. Apart from screening their certificates, we subject them to covert investigation and ask them to write tests.

"In order to be fair to all candidates, we are conducting the recruitment process at our zonal offices and after selecting the best, the relevant desks at the headquarters will further evaluate their performance based on our tight regulations.

"At the end of the day, the best candidates will proceed to the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in Kaduna for training.

Also, it was learnt that Magu has drawn only 37% of the N150million security votes appropriated for the EFCC chairman in 2017.

This is contrary to insinuations that he had been getting N15million monthly as security votes.

An official source said: "The records are clear. With a month left to the end of the year, Magu has only collected 37 per cent of the statutory N150million security votes (per year) for the office of the EFCC chairman. This is the least the commission has ever recorded."

Man Arrested For Using Fabricated Key To Steal From Cars

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 01:21 AM PST

A 25-year-old apprentice, Wisdom Azubuike, has been arrested for "belong" to a syndicate, which is said to specialise in using 'master keys' to open vehicles and stealing items found in the vehicles.

The suspect, a native of Obokwu Obidi in the Oguta area of Imo State, told Northern City News that he was an apprentice drug vendor, adding that a friend, Christopher, introduced him to the crime when he informed him that he needed money to set up a patent medicine store.

He said, "Christopher gave me a phone number in Onitsha and when I called the fellow, who I eventually met at the Onitsha Central Motor Park, he introduced me to this business and suggested that I should operate in Katsina.

"We normally use the special fabricated key to open car doors or booths and make away with the items found inside. But I was caught after I had used the key to open a Toyota car in Katsina."

The Commissioner of Police, Katsina State, Besen Gwana, however, said that Azubuke belonged to a syndicate, adding that efforts were on to arrest his accomplices.

He said, "On November 3, 2017 at about 23:30 hrs, the command busted a gang of car thieves/ snatchers and arrested one Wisdom Azubuike, aged 25 years of Obokwu Obidi, Oguta LGA of Imo State whom with others now at large, used a fabricated key and opened the door of a vehicle, Toyota Carina 'E' with registration number AA 4335 FN, valued N950,000 belonging to one Emmanuel Okeke of Havana Hotel, Katsina.

"The suspect was nabbed when he wanted to move out of the hotel with the vehicle. Investigation into this case is ongoing."

65yrs Old Man Laments; "Sodomy Has Ruined My Life"

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 01:21 AM PST

A 65-year-old-man, Patrick Kalu, has been arrested by the Niger State Police Command for allegedly sodomising a 15-year-old boy, Victor Inne, of Karimo, Abuja.

Kalu was said to have had regular s*xual inter-course with children aged 12 to 15 before his arrest.

Northern City News gathered that the father of three, who allegedly abandoned his family, hailed from Ohafia, Abia State and lived in Minna.

Kalu said that he had been engaging in the act for over two years.

He denied engaging in sodomy for ritual purposes, saying it was only for pleasure as he enjoyed doing the act with young boys.

Kalu said, "I was doing it for pleasure. I started having the urge to sleep with little boys in my late 50s and now it has ruined my entire life.

"I have rubbished my life and my reputation, I can't even start to talk about this or how I started it in the first place.

"It is evil. I pray that my children and my community will forgive me. I have been into this heinous act before I was apprehended by a team of police operatives in Minna. "

Kalu blamed himself for the act, saying, "I don't deserve mercy at all, let the law take its course; I am stupid, honestly."

He added, "I don't know what came over me; each time I see small boys, I would be tempted to have s*xual inter-course with them. I don't know whether it is a curse placed on me. I usually entice my victims with money."

The police command's Public Relations Officer, Abigail Unaeze, said the suspect was arrested for sodomising the teenager at Railway Quarters, Minna, the state capital.

She said he lured the victim from Abuja to Minna under the guise that he would secure a job for him.

The PPRO added that the suspect would be charged to court after investigation.

The family of murdered Reeva Steenkamp have been left outraged after a controversial movie about her murder aired in the US.

The Lifetime movie, titled Oscar Pistorius - The Blade Runner Killer, focuses on the trial of the disgraced Paralympian who is currently serving a six-year sentence for shooting the model on Valentine's Day 2013, claiming he mistook her for an intruder.

A  statement from the family read.

"They are horrified and upset to read a report that 'the movie is told from Steenkamp and her mother's perspective',"
"Any impression that the movie is endorsed by the Steenkamp family is untrue and incorrect."

The film stars Andreas Damm as Pistorius and Toni Garrn as Steenkamp.It comes after the family of Pistorius said they will be taking legal action against makers of a the movie.

His brother Carl said the film is a "gross distortion" of what really happened.

"The 'film' was made with blatant disregard of both the Steenkamp and Pistorius families, as well as complete disregard for Reeva and Oscar,"

I'm beyond devastated- UK's most married man is ditched by wife N0 9 | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 12:53 AM PST

Ron Sheppard truly believed he had found his "forever wife" when he met Cristel Lalec after eight failed marriages.

But the 69-year-old's hopes of a lasting romance were dashed when she ran off with another man before he could tie the knot.

Things were bad enough for ­Britain's most married man Ron after Filipino Cristel, 28, had been told by the Home Office she could no longer stay in the UK and would have to return home.


But he was left devastated when she packed her bags and fled. Ron believes she was seeing another man and has now alerted police and the Border Agency in case she is trying to stay here illegally.

He said:
 "I'm devastated by this, I did everything for that girl and she does a runner, I feel like such a mug."

Ron revealed "cracks began to appear" in their relationship. She was still married in the Philippines, despite pledging to divorce.
Fighting back tears, he said: 
"We had no love life, nothing whatsoever because she insisted she was a committed Christian and did not believe in sex before marriage.

"I respected that and hoped at least she would become my carer but she just became more distant.
"She hated my Norman Wisdom impressions, she had no idea who he was. She'd just sit there with her earphones in taking selfies and I'd have to shout her name just to get her to look at me."
Ron still applied for a carer's visa for Cristel in the hope they could spend their lives together.
But he added: "I should have known when she lost her ­engagement ring things were not right. Then she started going out a lot and making new friends. Even after her visa was denied I thought there might be a chance but she just grew so cold and distant.
"Then, on Saturday, she told me she was going out. She looked at me for a long time and said she was flying home next week and wished me goodbye.
"I now know she was saying goodbye for ever, I checked her room after she left and realised she had taken all of her luggage.
"I can't reach her at all and her she has blocked me on Facebook.
"A friend has told me she met another man since she has been here and is now with him. I am devastated beyond words.
"I loved that woman with all my heart. But I thought it was for the best I phoned the police and the Border Agency just in case she was trying to stay illegally."

 He said:
"Cristel won't put me off looking for love.
"Wife number nine is still out there, I just have to find her.
"As far as I'm concerned I'm back on the market." I'm not going to say I haven't already had women contacting me, I don't know what it is about me, women just seem to flock to me.
"I'm batting them off. I think it could be my natural charm and charisma. I am great at ­impressions, I can do 54 different people like Norman Wisdom and Frank Spencer.
"Although I've got to be honest after all this time I sometimes think women could just be too much trouble.
"But I am determined to not die alone, I refuse to end up in a home and I will find someone who will loves me for who I am."

Stray cat is prime suspect in 'attempted murder' of elderly woman | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 12:53 AM PST

Police probing the 'attempted murder' of an 82-year-old Japanese woman have reportedly said their prime suspect is a stray cat.

Bedridden Mayuko Matsumoto, who is also unable to speak, was found last Monday in her remote mountain home in southern Japan by her daughter.

Matsumoto had more than 20 cuts on her face and was later hospitalised.


"When we found her, blood covered everything above her chin," her daughter told Japanese broadcaster RKK.
Her face was soaked in blood. I didn't know what had happened."


Police were left baffled after finding no sign of a break-in at the home.

But after noticing that the cuts appeared to be from a claw, they considered the possibility of the scratches coming from a stray cat.

National broadcaster NHK reported: "Police are analysing a blood sample taken from the claw of the cat which might have scratched the victim."

Americans Robbed By Traffic Robbers In Lagos

Posted: 13 Nov 2017 12:51 AM PST

Three Americans have lost their travel documents, money, phones and valuables to traffic robbers at the Oshodi area of Lagos.

The incident occurred on November 6, around 8:20pm, while the visitors were on their way to Victoria Island from the Muritala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA).

The victims, names withheld, were said to be working for a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in the United States (U.S) and were in the country to attend a programme.

The victims were issued new travel documents and returned to America.

According to a security expert, Seyi Adetayo, who shared the ordeal of the Americans on social media, the victims were attacked by four men, who surrounded the vehicle conveying them to Eko Hotel.

He said: "They arrived Lagos at about 5pm and were stuck in a traffic gridlock for about three hours in Oshodi. Their vehicle was attacked around 8:20pm around Oshodi axis. The assailants were four in number. They surrounded the vehicle. Immediately, the two at the back smashed the windows and yelled at them "where is the money? One of the passengers lost her laptop, wallet, cash and travel passport. The second colleague lost her IPhone.

"The case was reported at Ilupeju Police Station the next day and we were informed that a lot of robbery attacks took place around that place and time. We were also told that two Britons just left the police station, they were attacked and also lost all their valuables, including their passports, bags, phones etc.

"We were advised that pending when the Oshodi construction work would be completed, once it is 4pm we should take the international/local airport axis to Maryland and make a turn towards Ojota to connect Alapere to the third mainland.

"They confirmed that Maryland towards Anthony to connect with the bridge is also not safe. We are also approaching the festive period and need to be more security conscious."

Adetayo said a colleague of his who works with the victims' establishment, was the originator of the post, adding that he only shared it on social media for motorists to be conscious.
