According to the report, an internal crisis broke out in Ogbai community in the area early Monday, May 15. 

A source quoted in the report said the problem started during the weekend when Otene led some youths to Ogbai after some Fulani herdsmen had reported to him about their cows that were allegedly killed in the community by their youths. “When the chairman went there to ask them why they killed Fulani cows without reporting to him, they allegedly got angry and started beating him. “He came back home with the promise to go back to Ogbai the following morning for the resolution of the problem. However, when he got there with just few of his men, the people of Ogbai had already set up a gang and immediately they saw him and his men they started firing at them. “Otene never commanded his men to fire back because the bullet did not penetrate into their bodies, so he went into their midst, trying to calm them down but they grabbed and killed him and three others on the spot,” the source said

THIS 33-YEARS MARRIED LADY WAS CAUGHT GIVING BLOW JOB TO A 15-YEARS OLD BOY

A drama teacher had an unscripted run in with the law while allegedly performing a sex act on an underage pupil in her car during the middle of the night.

Pamela Stigger, 33, claimed she was “only trying to mentor him” but the 15-year-old told police she had told him to go to the back seat where they took off their trousers and underwear and had sex.

The aspiring actress then reportedly got dressed and was performing oral sex on him when he told her a sheriff’s deputy was walking towards the car.

The female officer swooped in Tamarac, Florida, after a call about a suspicious looking vehicle obstructing traffic with no one in the front seats at approximately 2am.

She said she saw Stigger in the back with the boy who was naked from the waist down.

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Gina Carter said:

“When she was questioned about what they were doing and if they had, in fact, engaged in sexual acts, she denied being engaged in these sexual acts… despite the fact that the young man was undressed.”

Stigger faces two charges of sexually assaulting the student who was in her drama class at Forest Glen Middle School in Coral Springs during the academic year 2015-16.

She is also accused of lewd and lascivious activity on a minor.
The lad told investigators Stigger was driving him home when she pulled over and started kissing him in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Stigger, who, according to investigators, has a “custodial relationship” over the teen, is said to have denied having sexual contact with him.

She initially accused him of “attempting to seduce her” before changing her story, said Carter.

The sheriff’s spokeswoman added: “She did say that she was in the process of mentoring this past student of hers, even though it was two o’clock in the morning, and they were in the back seat of a car.”

On Friday a court banned Stigger from having any contact with the boy and she must wear an ankle monitor while out on bail.

HAIRDRESSER COMMIT SUICIDE OVER 150,000 LOAN IN LAGOS

A hairdresser, Yetunde Oladipupo, aka Iyabo, has committed suicide on Onabola Street, Owotutu, in the Somolu area of Lagos State.

It was learnt that Oladipupo took an insecticide, Sniper, on Friday shortly after seeing off some friends who had visited her.

Although the cause of the visit could not be ascertained by our correspondent, it was gathered that the mother of four went to a shop afterwards and bought the insecticide.

She was alleged to have taken it and was later rushed to the General Hospital, Gbagada, where she died.

It was also learnt that the Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State indigene, had taken a loan of about N150,000 from a microfinance bank and the creditor had been pestering her to pay.

A resident, who did not want to be identified, said the victim was always depressed because she had no means of repaying the debt.

He said,

“Iyabo (Oladipupo) has four children and her husband is based in Abuja. He comes home once in a while. She was a hairdresser and had a small shop where she sold some things.

“She borrowed N150,000 from a microfinance bank. When the pressure became too much for her and she could not pay, she became desperate, drank the insecticide and died.”

Another resident said two friends had visited her a few minutes before the incident, adding that it was after the visit that she decided to take her life.

She said,

“Around 7pm, two friends visited her and she saw them off. As she was returning, she went to a shop opposite her house where they sell provisions.

“After picking the insecticide, she asked the shopkeeper for a nylon wrapper, but the shopkeeper declined her request and said she should return the insecticide. She kept it somewhere around her dress and left.

“As she was ascending the stairs to the first floor where she lived, she drank the insecticide. Within seconds, she started feeling uncomfortable and called her five-year-old child to go and get help. She was rolling on the floor and groaning with pain.

“Everybody was alarmed upon seeing the empty container of the insecticide. She was taken to a private hospital on the street, but she was rejected. She was then rushed to the General Hospital, Gbagada, where about five doctors struggled to save her life. She, however, died.”

A top official of the general hospital confirmed that the victim was brought to the hospital around 7pm, adding that she died in the early hours of Saturday.

He said,

“The woman was brought to the hospital around 7pm on Friday and her people said she collected a loan which she could not repay. We don’t know the details. Doctors tried to save her life, but she could not make it.”

EPISODE12 OF PROFESSOR JOHNBULL IS HERE

In the new episode of Professor Johnbull titled Life Jacket, the scenes in this episode will draw the emotions of viewers as they behold the inhuman treatment house maids and other domestic servants are subjected to.

Most domestic hands have turned to the life jackets of the various homes where they work; doing virtually everything and at the same time not being treated well by their various masters. The implication of this is that often times, most of the gory news we read about the seeming wickedness of these domestic hands are self-inflicted pains and injuries by those who should have treated the domestic hands as normal human beings that they are. Life Jacket therefore, is a way of drawing attention to the plights of these endangered members of the community.

Among other issues that the new episode tries to address is the issue of whether the ostensibly wicked act of domestic servants are retaliatory or not; the idea of starving a domestic hand as punishment for an infraction and lack of respect for the human dignity and emotions of domestic hands. How will an over-laboured and maltreated domestic servant react to the situation?

The episode features the regulars of the sitcom such as the cerebral Professor Johnbull, Ufoma, Abadnego, Etuk, Olaniyi, Elizabeth, Samson, Mai Doya, Caro, Churchill and Flash. The episode also stars the legend, Chief Chika Okpala, aka Chief Zebrudayah Okoroigwe Nwogbo, alias 4:30, who makes a cameo appearance.

FORMER NANNY ACCUSES TONTO DIKEH OF VERBAL ASSAULTAND HARRASMENT

In an interview with PUNCH, Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh‘s former nanny Mgbechi Enyinnaya has said that Tonto verbally assaulted her when she was her domestic staff.

She made the statement as a reaction to a video posted online over the weekend by another actress Halima Abubakar.

In the video, Tonto is heard in the background quizzing the nanny about a claim that she (Tonto) abandoned her at the hospital when she was sick.

See the disclaimer that accompanied the video Halima posted.

DISCLAIMER! DISCLAIMER!! DISCLAIMER!!! This is to inform the general public about the recently uploaded video about the nanny of my beloved dear son who in a video said I abandoned her at the hospital leaving her to fend for herself. It was so far-off from the truth.

She was sadly discharged from her duties 2months ago, after the realization that she wasn’t fit enough for the job as she was always suffering from one illness or another which I. Have spent Thousands treating.

So I paid her off and she went back to her base, I suddenly saw her about a week ago believing she came to say hello and leave, but begged to be taken back instead. It was obvious that my son missed her, which led me to permit her to stay for a few days.  To my suprise, she took ill again and I asked that she should be taken to the hospital, which I normally do whenever she fall sick and her on-Call Personal doctor provided By Me Isnt around. She was rushed to the hospital on Thursday 11th may 2017, and discharged on Friday 12th may 2017, telling me that she is better now. To my greatest surprise, I got a call from one of my domestic staff that she has gone to the hospital again.

Waking up today Saturday 13th may 2017, to see a video posted without  due consultations by ‘some’ foundation.

I wondered why people love cheap publicity. How can someone who left the hospital on Friday and return to the hospital be abandoned as she FALSELY claimed.

Nevertheless, I have consulted and instructed my lawyer to serve them with immediate effect for defamation of character and other of charges associated to this act(etc. Using the name of a child for soliciting for money illegally).

I am appealiing to the public and especially my fans to disregard the request of paying into the account published on the blog. It’s a scam and a malicious act that should never be allowed or encouraged.

The nanny is an ingrate for allowing her self to be used against me and my son.This is a woman who has visas to 15 different countries courtesy. Of me,Flies first class,eats 6times a day,has call card allowance, hair allowance,Has her nails taken care of by me,Gets freebies for her family and friends,takes lux.

Mgbechi has however said that Tonto verbally abused and harassed her on several occasions.

Throughout the period I worked for Tonto, she always assaulted me verbally. At the slightest opportunity, she would rain abuses on me and tell that she would scatter me if I wasn’t careful. I lived in that house with her despite all the constant harassment because of her son, King. I loved the boy like my own child and it was because of him that I stayed long with her.

She has never given me money to give to my children. The only thing she did was to give me some of the clothes she wanted to distribute to motherless babies homes to give to my children.

Tonto said that she had taken me to 15 countries, let her show the world my passport and the copy of the visas she claimed to had obtained for me. The only place we went outside Nigeria together was Ghana and it was her husband, Churchill, that took us there.

The video she posted online was not the complete version. All the things I said, they did not show it. She only showed where she and others were intimidating me; they never allowed me to talk. Let her tell the world the truth because I worked for her diligently and had never conspired with anyone to tarnish her image,” she said.

19 YEARS OLD INDIAN GIRL RESCUED AFTER A BUSINESSMAN BURIED HER ALIVE OVER FAMILY PROPERTY

A 19-year-old girl, Khushboo Khatun, was pulled out from a pit 2 hours after she was buried alive in Govindpur village, in Bihar, eastern India. Khatun was on her way home from a market when three men reportedly pounced on her and threw her into a 3ft deep pit, filled it with earth and left her to die.

When Kushboo didn't make it home, her father Muhammad Ansari and mother, Sanjana began to look for her. Eventually Ansari noticed a nearby pit was randomly filled with earth and suspected foul play. He started digging and called on other villagers to help. They noticed part of her body after digging for a while.



Khutan was already semi-conscious after being buried for two full hours and was almost suffocating She was eventually dragged from the rubble and taken to a local government hospital.

The police are now searching for suspects, Amit Shah, who is a local businessman, and two accomplices.

Superintendent Nawal Kishore Singh said Amit Shah had wanted to use land owned by the girl's father, Ansari for construction. The latter however did not co-operate and the property dispute had been going on for years, so Amit used his daughter as a threat.

Kushboo has since been discharged from the hospital and is now recovering at home

HUSBAND CLAIM HIS WIFE DRUGGED AND RAPED AFTER SHE WAS FILMED HAVING SEX WITH FELLOW CONTESTANT IN A REALITY TV SHOW

A husband in denial has refused to believe that his wife will intentionally cheat on him and is accusing TV bosses of covering up a rape. Andrej Laharnar is claiming that his wife was drugged and raped after she was filmed getting cozy under the covers with a fellow housemate.

Andrej's partner, Mirela Lapanovic, is a contestant in a Serbian reality show called Couples, which is similar to Big Brother.



In one of the episodes filmed in Serbian capital, Belgrade, viewers saw her in explicit scenes with Milutin Radosavljevic Milija, another contestant. Her husband, upon seeing the footage, was left horrified and says the production team used drugs to manipulate his partner into a sexual scene to boost viewer figures and are trying to cover up the rape. He also believes his wife's male partner in the sex scene was drugged and that drug use is rife among people involved in the TV show.

"If only they showed her the footage, she would be shocked and she would realise she was abused," Andrej said.

"The production is not allowing the contestants or the audience to talk about the terrible incident. They are trying to cover up the rape but the truth will come out."

Last year, the Couples TV show made headlines when a husband was shown on TV appearing to strangle his wife. The production team behind Couples made no comment on the incident till date.

TENSION IN WARRI AS SOLDIER SHOT DOWN TWO YOUTH

There has been palpable tension and anger in Warri and its environs for the past few days after a Naval personnel attached to NPDC shot and killed two community youths following argument over job slots in the company.

Palpable tension and anger has been reported in Ifiekporo community in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, the host community of the Warri Refinery and Petrochemical Company (WRPC) and Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) where a naval personnel, last Friday, allegedly killed two youths over an argument on job slots.

The deceased youths, one of them simply identified as Agbolu was from Ifie community where the company is sited in Warri South while the other whose names could not be ascertained was from Ekpan in Uwvie Local Government Area.

The incident which happened at about 2:30 p.m. last Friday has set both communities in tension. It was reliably gathered that youths from both communities were engaged in job slot negotiations with the management of NPDC when argument arose that was amicably resolved but shockingly the navy officer was said to have moved in and shot first into the air before shooting point-blank at the two boys who died immediately.

According to ThisDay newpaper, some youths in the community are said to be gearing up for a showdown with naval personnel deployed in the area over the “unjustifiable” killings of the harmless youths.

Security sources said the community was particularly irked at attempt by the Nigerian Navy to twist the event leading to the shootings by claiming that the deceased youths attempted to snatch a rifle from the naval rating.

“The youths of Ifiekporo and their elders are angry with the navy when they heard that their officers were claiming that the youths were shot when they attempted to snatch the rating’s AK 47 rifle. This incident occurred in the presence of other sister security agencies, as well as workers of the oil company,” the source maintained

Speaking on the matter at the police A division headquarters, Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Hon. Mofe Edema, expressed sadness over the shooting saying: “This is one killings too many. How can NNPC security personnel be killing these innocent community youths like flies every time. It is just not fair!”

Reacting to the last Friday’s incident, the Commander Nigerian Naval Ship, NNS Delta, Commodore Ibrahim Dewu, in a statement issued yesterday said the naval command has commenced thorough investigation into the incident.

According to him, “In respect to the incident that happened at the Warri Refinery, I wish to emphasise our readiness to protect lives and property in our AOR. In doing this, we will be cognizant of the need to relate cordially with our host communities. I assure you that investigation is still ongoing on the issue,” he stated
