Pastor stabbed to death after Armed men invaded his church

Pastor Ibukun Adeyinka of Christ Apostolic Church, Sanctuary of Blessing, Iju Ishaga area of Lagos State was stabbed to death by hoodlums who stormed the church.

Reports are that those who killed the pastor did not leave with any property of the church, therefore, the incident can be regarded to as an act of assassination.
The deceased wife, Olasunbo said the hoodlums struck at about 3am on 30th of May adding that they said nothing throughout the time of attack.
She said:
“We were asleep when they entered the church. They came to our house and we didn’t know anything was happening until we heard a sound like something was falling. .
There was a power outage, so we couldn’t see clearly. My husband was the first to wake up. They broke into the house through the front door. They didn’t say anything to us even as we asked what they wanted from us. .
I just heard my husband shouting, ‘In Jesus name’. I also re-echoed it, saying ‘Amen, in Jesus name.’ I never knew they had stabbed him in the chest. They left by scaling the church’s fence. I saw that my husband had become weak. That was when I knew that they had stabbed him. There was a lot of blood in the room.”
“They didn’t take anything. Up till now, I can’t say who they are and why they did what they did.”
A Facebook user, Amah Eze who shared the story claimed that the hoodlums who were absconding took the church as an escape route after a robbery operation.
She wrote:
“He was always ringing a bell at 12 midnight for prayers. So humble that whenever he greeted a small girl like me, he always bowed down. Only for absconding thieves to run into his church while he was praying as usual, and cut him with a machete. That’s how he met his death; but God knows best.”

Man Who Murdered His Girlfriend's Sister Claims Police Forced Him To Confess

Stephen Luka, who is standing trial for brutalising his ex-girlfriend and killing her sister, standing trial in a Jos High Court, said the police tortured him to obtain his confessional statement.

Giving evidence in a trial-within-trial on Tuesday in Jos, Luka rebutted the charges and showed the court scars he sustained during the torture to obtain his statement.

Stephen Luka was arraigned before the court in October 2016 charged with murder, attempted murder, assault and sexual abuse.


The defendant was alleged to have attacked two sisters Simi Dusu and Justina Dusu on July 27, 2016 at his home, in Sabon Gari, Tudun Wada, Jos, when they went to break the news that Justina was pregnant.

According to report, Luka was not happy when Justina insisted on keeping the baby, lost his control and used a machete on both sisters, resulting in Simi’s death and Justina losing her left eye.

The Divisional Crime Officer, Mr Bolaji Ayenumuro of the “A” Divisional police headquarters on May 6, testified and told the court that the accused person in a statement confessed to the murder without any duress.

Luka, led in evidence by his counsel, Mr David Adudu, told the court that the statement was forcefully taken from him on Aug. 2 and Aug. 3 2016, respectively.

“On Aug. 2, 2016 at about 8 p.m I was in the cell, when one Sgt. Apollos came to take me out and led me into the crime office where I met other policemen.

“They asked me if I committed the crime and I told them no. They immediately started to beat me but I still told them I did not do it, I was then taken back to my cell.

“At 7 p.m. the next day they took me back to the crime office and this time around they put a chain on my legs and placed hand cuffs on one hand.

“They started to torture me again, when I could no longer bear the pain, I told them I committed the crime, my statement was taken and was I forced to sign.”

During cross examination by the prosecuting counsel, Mrs Muleng Alex, the defendant said that it took the police three days to extract the statement from him.

When asked to identify the signature and date written on his statement, Luka said “this is not the statement and I cannot recognise the signature on it.”

The prosecutor prayed the court to allow the defendant to write a date on a piece of paper to ascertain whether the handwritings were the same.

However, when he did the two writing turned out to be the same.

The defense counsel, Mr David Adudu, thereafter prayed the court to give him 21 days to file a final written address for the defence.

The judge, Mrs Nafisa Musa, after listening to his plea, adjourned the matter to July 24 to enable both parties file their final written addresses for the trial within trial.

How my husband died- Ibadan female lawyer accused of murder narrates in court

A female Lawyer, Yewande Oyediran, who was accused of killing her husband Lowo, on Monday denied the allegation. She said she loved her husband and did not kill him.

Yewande, a staff of the Department of Public Prosecution in the Oyo State of Ministry of Justice, was accused of killing her husband with a knife on February 2, 2016, at Akobo area of Ibadan.


The lady, led in evidence by her counsel, Mr. Leye Adepoju, gave a narration of what happened beginning from February 1, 2016 when one Racheal Jegede, who she described as the mother of Lowo’s son, called her with a private number and accused her of not allowing Lowo to take care of the boy.
“I switched off the phone and went to Lowo because he had told the woman not to call me again. By that time, Lowo had settled in bed.”
According to her, she reported the call to Lowo. But the report appeared to have made Lowo angry as he had told Yewande to stop bothering about the other woman.

“He just got off from bed and got very angry, asking me what my problem was and started beating me,” Yewande told the court.
“ I cried for help. Our landlord and his wife could not gain entrance because we had locked the door and Lowo had pinned me down on the floor.“I later stretched my hand to the dressing table and I took a pair of scissors which I used to ‘flash’ him. That was how I escaped from him and opened the door for our landlord and his wife.“After opening the door for the landlord, his wife tried to treat my husband, because she was a retired nurse,’’ Yewande said.
She said that when she returned to the bedroom that night, their room had been scattered, and Lowo was lying on bed.

According to her testimony, she decided to re-arrange the room.

Yewande said at that moment, Lowo suddenly rose from the bed holding a plank and made for the door. With the plank, he tried to knock a nail to the door.
“When the landlady heard the knocking sound, she came to our window and asked me to come out. I went to see her and I told her he was just fixing the nail at the door. So, she advised me not to lock the door.’’
Later, both went to bed.

Yewande said she was asleep when she noticed that someone was beating her. When she opened her eyes, she discovered that it was Lowo holding a knife and beating her with the plank.

Yewande said she managed to escape, but Lowo was still chasing her until he caught her beside their landlord’s car.

“I was struggling with all my strength, but he pinned me down there. All of a sudden, I felt I was able to push him off me. But it was not me, I even thought it was my landlord’s son that pushed him off.
“When I was running, he was calling me. But when I looked back, Lowo suddenly fell and I went back to him. That was when I discovered blood coming out from his neck,’’ she said.

During cross examination by the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Sanya Akinyele, Yewande said she was not aware her husband had a son until when the mother of the boy called to tell her.

When asked if she was the one who killed her husband, Yewande said:
“No, I can not kill my husband, I still love him.’’

Yewande, however, agreed that only two of them were in the house when the incident occurred.

Justice Munta Abimbola adjourned the case till July 10 for adoption of the written addresses of both the prosecutor and the defence counsel.

NAN reports that the accused, who had been standing trial on a one-count charge of murder, had remained in prison custody after pleading not guilty to the charge. (NAN)

I Have Sold 20 Kids Already - 20-Year Old Kidnapper Confesses

Chinaza Onwuasoanya has been the Special Armed Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Anambra State Police Command, for allegedly selling 20 stolen babies.

Onwuasoanya was impregnated by her boyfriend in Lagos and returned to Anambra State in October, 2013, to have the baby but was too ashamed to go back home to her parents.

After giving birth to a baby girl, a friend introduced her to 45-year-old Goodness, who runs an orphanage, which the police alleged was a cover for a baby-trafficking operation. .

Onwuasoanya handed over the baby girl in exchange for the sum of N150,000. The money she made opened her eyes to the possibility of earning more from the same source. .

Without batting an eyelid, she moved into child-trafficking. Recounting her journey into child-trafficking, Onwuasoanya told Sunday Sun: “I got into child trafficking two years ago. .

I have sold 20 children to Madam Goodness who operates the orphanage. She paid me between N150,000 and N200,000 for each baby I sold to her. I was kidnapping children coming back from school or getting them in the streets. .

But I was arrested on May 1, 2017, when I stole a set of twins at an estate in Onitsha.” Onwuasoanya hails from Ebenebe, Awka North LGA of Anambra State.

She also confessed to being a member of the gang of robbers who killed two policemen, Inspector Shuaibu Usman and Sergeant Julius Matthew, of Police Mobile Force 29 in February, 2017 at Nkpor fly-over, Onitsha and took their AK-47 rifles, which were later used to commit robberies. .

She also assisted the SARS operatives to arrest three members of the gang; Ifeanyi Onwukwe a.k.a Nger, 22; Chidubem Osita a.k.a Kabaka, 23, and Chijioke Obi a.k.a Abababa, 23, while the other six members escaped. .
.
She disclosed that she was always given her own share of the money made during robbery operations, saying that she got between N50,000 and N80,000. “I have regretted what I did. My parents are alive. It was my friend who introduced to child trafficking and which led me to armed robbery today,” Onwuasoanya added.

Super Eagles Boss Rohr And Player Onazi To Meet NFF Over Unpaid Allowances

Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr and stand-in captain of the team, Ogenyi Onazi, will meet with top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) today.

One of the items that will top the agenda for discussion is outstanding payments.

Players are unhappy over unpaid bonus, appearance fees, ticket refunds and camp allowances. They claim they were not paid for the training camps in London in March, as well as that in France this past week.

“It has never been this bad as regards our bonuses, allowances and even ticket refunds,” one of the affected players told Vanguard.

The NFF has already promised the Eagles will be paid the win bonus for the World Cup qualifier in Zambia in October last year. Nigeria won 2-1 in Ndola, but the players are yet to be paid the $5,000-a-man bonus several ever since.

“The players have again submitted their bank details and there is some hope they will now get this payment from the NFF,” the player added.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are scheduled to fly out to Uyo, ahead of Saturday’s AFCON qualifier against South Africa.

'Why Nigerians Think I Am A Liar’- Lai Mohammed

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has explained why most Nigerians perceive him as a political liar.

He said that being the face of opposition for so long before joining the government at the centre gave Nigerians the wrong ideas about him.

The Minister, while speaking during the Osasu Show anchored by Osasu Igbinedion herself on AIT, said Nigerians blamed him for lying because they had associated him with the opposition party for ten years.

Lai Mohammed said no one could fault the facts and figures he had presented to Nigerians so far, stressing that he had since challenged Nigerians to point to any particular lie he told but that so far, no Nigerian had pointed to any.

He said: “I think I carried two major burdens. The first burden I carried is that I was the face of opposition for almost a decade and I think quite a big section of the internet has not forgiven me for the role I played in the coming of this government.

“Many of them hold me personally responsible for the defeat of the PDP. I am flattered by that but the truth of that.

“It was Nigerians that wanted a new government and I was just one of the instruments.

“I have always asked anybody to come out and say Alhaji Lai Mohammed, this is what you said at this point and we found it to be a lie and nobody so far has come out to say anything.

FG TALKS ABOUT INCREASE IN HOMOSEXUALITY IN NIGERIA

The Federal Government has said homosexuality is on the increase in the country, as Nigerian youths now have more tolerance towards it.

Garba Abari, the Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), stated this during a programme titled, ‘Anti-Corruption: The Role of Media as Change Agents’ in Abuja on Saturday.

He also urged youths to stop wearing dreadlocks and saggy trousers.

“It is pertinent to note that the advent of satellite broadcasting has continued to pose a serious challenge to our traditional culture and religious values and our identity as a people. Our youths are now being deceived by the international media with values that are at variance with our culture and the teachings of our religion.

“The wearing of tattoos, dreadlocks hairstyle, sagging trousers and the painting of hair have become a vogue among our young men and women.

“Our youths are now publicly clamouring for the legalisation of gay marriage and are about to boldly take the campaign to the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly to press for it as a fundamental human right,” Abari said.

How I Overcome Battles, Scandals’ – 2face Opens Up

Innocent Ujah Idibia, aka 2face, is known all over the world as a singer. Many of his successful songs have broken records, so it’s not surprising that he is regarded as one of the greatest African music artistes of his time.

Apart from his music prowess, there is one other attribute that stands him out and makes people to speak well of him. That’s his humility!

Despite his superstar status, the African Queen crooner always has a smile on his face. And unlike many other entertainers who may never achieve half of what he has even in 10 lifetimes, 2face always obliges his fans whenever they approach him for pictures, autographs, handshakes and hugs.

Little wonder that despite the scandals he has had in his career, his acceptability has not been affected. He is still one of the most loved artistes on the continent.

Sunday Scoop ran into him recently and he said,

“Humility is not an act or make-believe. It is who I am and what you see is what you get. I don’t need to ‘form’ for anybody. I believe in myself and I believe that anybody who truly likes me would accept me as I am. Anyway, it is even better to be true to yourself because it would save you a lot of headaches.

Sometimes, I read what some people write about me and I feel emotionally touched. Some people are ready to stake whatever they have to defend me; even if they don’t know whether I’m guilty or not. It’s not just about the music but maybe from the interactions they may have had with me. My humility has fought a lot of battles and I will always remain grateful to God and my fans.”

Kemi Olunloyo laments in prison, accuses court registrar of stalling her release

Controversial journalist and former Oyo state governor’s daughter, Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo has accused the chief registrar attached to the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court of sitting on her case in order to keep her perpetually behind bars, despite having allegedly met her bail conditions.

The blogger spoke from inside Port Harcourt Prison where she has been remanded since her initial arraignment in mid-March for alleged criminal defamation against a Port-Harcourt-based preacher, David Ibiyeomie.
Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES inside the office of the Comptroller of Prisons in Rivers State, Ifeanyi Amaliri, last week, Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo stated that her lawyers had satisfied all bail requirements set by H.I.O. Shamah, a federal judge who granted her bail on April 11.
She said she had strong indications to believe the deputy chief registrar was sitting on her case on alleged orders of some powerful interests.
But the court registrar said the accused’s bail paperwork was still being perfected by her lawyers, with whom she said she had been in constant touch with.
Maimunat Folami, the Deputy Chief Registrar, strongly denied the allegations, stating that her office had cooperated fully with Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s counsel to ensure proper vetting of her bail documents.
“We have done everything that we’re supposed to do,” Ms. Folami said. “This allegation is very strange.”
“I have to do all the works of ensuring that all the documents are put in place.
Even if the documents are put in place, we still have to conduct certain investigations, like verifying the addresses of the sureties to be sure they are who they say they are.”
Ms. Folami also said Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s case file was taken away the last time her matter was heard on May 23. Although the judge was absent, the case file was not returned to her office, causing further delay in working out the final details of Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s release.
Peter Nkanga, the West Africa representative of the U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists, condemned Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s continued incarceration for over 78 days and counting, despite all bail conditions met since May 11, including signing an undertaking not to jump bail.
“It is an outrage that the judiciary can be taking over three weeks and counting to verify Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s bail requirements, at the expense of her freedom,” Mr. Nkanga told PREMIUM TIMES.
Fatai Lawal of Afe Babalola Chambers, which is representing Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo, spoke to PREMIUM TIMES but declined to blame the registrar for the challenges faced in perfecting his client’s bail requirements.
“We’re confident about her possible release this week,” he said.
A team of police officers first arrested Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo in Ibadan on March 13.
She was whisked to Port Harcourt where she was arraigned before a Chief Magistrate’s Court in Port-Harcourt. The case was later transferred to the Federal High Court.
Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo, however, spoke positively about the prison officials.
They have done an excellent job taking care of me and ensuring that I don’t starve and my health does not deteriorate, she said.
