Woman allegedly kills two of her children after a fight with her own mother

A 24-year-old Kenyan lady identified as Winfred Nduku allegedly stabbed her two children, ages 2 and 6, to death, before attempting suicide after she had a fight with her own mother.

The Police disclosed that the incident took place at Winfred mother’s house in Kayole, Nairobi on Saturday night.

Confirming the tragic incident is a police spokesperson at the Kayole Police Station who spoke with Kenyans.co.ke, where he stated that Nduku was recuperating at Mama Lucy Hospital.

The spokesperson revealed that the incident was reportedly triggered by an altercation between Nduku and her mother who she lives with.

Narrating the incident, Nduku’s mother, Josephine Wambua tearfully said,

“She was seated right there playing on her phone when I asked her to first tend to the children and saw to it that they at least eat something, then she could get back to her phone.

“She kept on playing with her phone. I threw a cup of water at her and repeated my initial statement. She then threatened that she could kill her children and grabbed a knife and did it,” she added

After stabbing the children, Ms. Nduku allegedly attempted to stab her mother but could only manage to inflict some cuts on her right hand as they struggled before she was then overpowered and thrown out of the house.

The suspect also attempted to kill herself with the same knife, with her mother saying her daughter stabbed herself in the stomach but was quickly rushed to the hospital alongside her two children who both were pronounced dead on arrival.

Nairobi Police commander Philip Ndolo said Nduku was admitted to Mama Lucy Hospital for treatment and will face criminal charges once discharged.

Federal Government receives $311m Abacha loot from US and Bailiwick of Jersey

In new trending reports, the Federal government has received the sum of $311,797,866.11 which is the third tranche of the former head of state, late General Sani Abacha loot, from the United States and the Bailiwick of Jersey.

Attorney-General of Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, revealed this in a statement released earlier today May 4th, 2020 by his Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Dr Umar Gwandu.

According to Malami, the amount increased significantly from over $308 million mentioned in an earlier statement in February to over $311million as a result of the interest that accrued from February 3 to April 28, when the fund was transferred to the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Malami stated that the latest recovery would support and assist in expediting the construction of three major infrastructure projects across Nigeria – Lagos – Ibadan Expressway, Abuja – Kano Road, and the Second Niger Bridge.

He went on to reveal that the government was in the process of establishing a Project Monitoring Team to oversee the implementation of the projects and report regularly on progress made to the public.

In order to ensure transparent management of the returned assets, Malami said the government would engage a Civil Society Organisation who has combined expertise in substantial infrastructure projects, civil engineering, anti-corruption compliance, anti-human trafficking compliance, and procurement to provide additional monitoring and oversight.

He noted that the process for the engagement of the CSO monitor has already commenced with the adverts placed in two local newspapers.

The recovered funds, according to the minister, were laundered through the U.S. banking system and then held in bank accounts in the Bailiwick of Jersey.

“I am not buying N150k wedding ring or paying for N18k nails” – Nigerian writer

Hands of married couple wearing wedding rings

A while ago, the tweet of a Nigerian gentleman went viral on Twitter when he revealed that he once upon a time, paid N18k for the nails job his girlfriend did only for her to remove it less than a week after.

His tweet caused a frenzy on the platform as people questioned why he’ll pay such an amount for a nail job only for it to be removed less than a week later.

A Nigerian satirist then, in reaction to the tweet said he can not buy a wedding ring worth N150k neither can he pay for nails that’ll cost him N18k.

He can however invest his money on his woman on things that he knows will be useful for him in the near future. He wrote,

I’m sorry, I’m not buying 150k wedding ring or paying for 18k nails. I’ll pay for other things far more expensive. I’ll pay for our child to be born abroad, or pay for her to get a PhD. But I’m not paying for 150k wedding ring or 18k nails. She can pay by herself. I’ll admire it.

Why do people attach value to things? Because it brings then some kind of sense of fulfillment. We all have different value systems hence why I didn’t say it was stupid to buy any of these. Buy whatever you want to buy. What you value is what you value.

Also since I’ll marry a woman whose values are very close to mine. I don’t think she’ll have a problem with this decision either. I’m not proving any other point asides those things mean nothing to me and as such, they are not priority for me.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has said all those who attended the funeral of late Abba Kyari, the former chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari on April 18, have tested negative for COVID-19.

Late Kyari died on 17th of April, 2020 as a result of COVID-19. There was an outcry from Nigerians after videos and pictures from his funeral showed that those present at the funeral, disregarded all the prevention guidelines issued by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), such as social distancing, to limit the spread of COVID-19.

All attendees of the funeral were eventually asked to immediately isolate themselves while those that work in the presidency were asked to distance themselves from the presidential villa.

According to a tweet posted on Sunday night on the FCTA handle, Mohammed Kawu, acting secretary, health and human services secretariat at the FCTA, said all those identified and isolated, tested negative and have been reunited with their families.

“The FCT Health & Human Services Secretariat is happy to announce that the individuals exposed during the burial of late COS to the President have completed their 14days of isolation. Tests were conducted and they have all tested NEGATIVE to #COVID19,” it read.

Clarence Peters finally speaks on Picture Kodak’s death; says he was not there when she died

Popular Nigerian video director, Clarence Abiodun Peters, has finally spoken following the death of late professional dancer, Love Divine (Kodak) in his residence.

He took to his social media page moments ago to give his account on the events surrounding the death of the professional video vixen.

According to him, he was not physically in the same room as Kodak although they were in the same building. He said it was a few moments after that they called his attention to the scene.

He also stated that no one has been arrested in connection to the dancers death, saying he was only called in by the Police for questioning.

Read his full account below;

“On the 29th of April 2020, Love Divine Ike (Picture Kodak) was in the dance studio, on the premises of Capital Dreams Pictures, with 5 other team members and myself – 7 people in total.

At about 7:30 pm on the same day, while in another office – a building beside the dance studio, on the same premises, some people who were said to be with Love Divine at the time, rushed in and called my attention to the fact that Love Divine had collapsed.

We immediately rushed her to the nearest hospital, which refused to let us into their premises, let alone admit her. They assumed she was a Covid-19 patient.

We tried, but we were not able to gain entry into a second hospital. We eventually got her to a third hospital where she was pronounced dead 30 minutes after arrival.

I was not physically in the same room as her when the incident occurred, and when I inquired, I was told by those present at the scene that Love Divine, while taking a break from the dance session, was sitting on one of the metal sliding door rails, charging and using her phone plugged to an extension box.

The witnesses didn’t realize anything was wrong, until they saw she had laid down, and they noticed smoke coming from her chest area.

She was said to be electrocuted, her phone was found on her chest, with severe burn marks, and the phone’s imprint on her chest.

The witnesses were taken to the Ojodu Police Headquarters straight from the hospital where statements were taken and the phone (which had traces of burnt flesh on it) was deposited.

The following day, the Police conducted an examination of the body and were taken to the scene of the incident for further examination.

The Police are currently carrying out a full-scale investigation into the events that occurred, and an autopsy will be carried out, with the full permission and consent of her family.

Please note that no one has been charged or arrested, by the Police. The witnesses and I willingly made ourselves available to the Police and we have all pledged our full co-operation, through every part of this process. I will be helping out in every possible capacity.

Love Divine and the entire WestLifeCrew was a huge part of Capital Dreams Pictures, and losing her hurts us all deeply.

She was an exemplary person, and a legend in her own rights. We will miss her very much.

Words will never be enough to describe what her family is going through in these things trying times. My thoughts and prayers are with them, and I ask God to grant them all the strength & fortitude at this time.

This is a truly difficult time for us all, and we’re asking for a lot of patience and goodwill from the general public, in these difficult times.

May God help us through this.”

Working class lady blows hot on her unemployed boyfriend after discovering that he “squandered” her money (Screenshots)

The screenshots of the Instant Messaging conversation between a working class lady and her boyfriend has begun causing a frenzy on social media over how the whole thing went.

The beginning of the conversation which happened in the wee hours of 28th September 2019 starts with the lady asking her boyfriend if he’s awake.

When he replies in the affirmative, she begins to air her displeasure of him being a liar to her. Puzzled by what offence he may have committed, he asks her “What did I do?” and she began questioning him of what he did with the money she loaned him the previous week.

The conversation takes a new heated turn in the middle of the night after the guy admitted to not using the money for what it was for but “giving it to his family for upkeep”. The lady then dealt a card of she being in charge in the relationship and as such, he should play by her rules.

The gentleman then cowers by saying if the tables were turned, he wouldn’t treat his girlfriend the way she’s treating him. He eventually declared to end their relationship once he’s repaid his debt and amused by his decision, the lady generalized all men as cowards.

Clarence Peters’ girlfriend defends him following his arrest over late Kodak

Following the detainment of popular music video director and producer, Clarence Peters by the Lagos State Police command over the death of professional dancer, Love Divine popularly known as Picture Kodak, his girlfriend of 14 years, Jennifer, has taken to social media to defend him.

Clarence Peters' girlfriend

It was gathered that the music video director is being detained and questioned at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Yaba.

Jennifer took to her page to air her displeasure over the development as she says the Nigerian police force are “destroying people’s reputation”.

In a lengthy write-up on her IG page, she addresses the report surrounding the detainment of her boyfriend as she says he was invited by the police and he went there willingly.

Clarence Peters' girlfriend

Read her post below,

It is SICKENING the corruption and laxity in the NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE!
But First, lemme start with you the ones who follow blogs and comment without thinking. That someone earns a living from breaking homes and destroying people’s reputation is something that should naturally be worrisome to you but NO, it refreshes you.
So, as Clarence’s 14yrs long girlfriend, Lemme state AUTHORITATIVELY that CLARENCE PETERS was invited to police command, YABA and he went there willingly. He was NOT arrested, neither was he CHARGED WITH MURDER as stated by the press statement from the police command through their spokesperson BALA ELKANA!
Just because we chose to keep quiet until the autopsy result comes out before addressing the press and of course the police report to exonerate him was signed and collected.
On friday 2nd of May, 2020 an investigative team led by IPO, MR. POPOOLA, after the on-scene investigation was done, the body visited at the morgue, came to a conclusion they had no case with CLARENCE PETERS(who was not on the scene of incident) SEGUN the business manager, the 4dancers and two other members of staff of CAPITAL DREAMS PICTURES, (all referred to as witnesses), that it was a NATURAL ACCIDENT. He wrote his report to that effect. Events took a different turn when The DCP- YETUNDE LONGE, came in and asked that the report be torn, he wrote a second one that she tore again. By the third report, then came in MR. OYE and his father Sir Shina Peters and she couldn’t continue with her foul play. She agreed they had NO CASE with him and the rest of the witnesses. “So why are u still holding him..” everyone asked, she said she was waiting for the autopsy result so she can attach it. When she saw she had been caught, she sent them to put out a press statement that he was charged for murder. So thinking Nigerians, can someone be “CHARGED” without an autopsy conducted?
Backtrack a bit, after LD passed on, it took more than 24hrs to seek the consent from her family to conduct that autopsy. By the time the consent was gotten, due to the COVID-19 caused NIGERIAN COURTS CLOSURE, the autopsy was to start on monday being tomorrow.

So again, how are we talking “he’s being charged for MURDER”??? Since they decided to throw the first blow of negativity, lets go ALL OUT with the information. You have all been waiting for a response from him and because he chose to be law abiding, someone who contributes positively to the nigerian economy, they want yo tarnish his name? And artistes, everyone is quiet? Nobody is asking questions other than “how can she be electrocuted”??? Is it right? Who is going to charge PHCN to court for the SURGE? Yetunde Alonge said if he was an ordinary person she would have let him go but because he and his parents are celebrities that is why.
Since u all seek to know of clarence “murdered” her, if clarence “raped” her, why can’t you all then march to PANTI and ask your police force questions. Don’t sit on blogs spilling fallacies and stamp your imprint by commenting ignorantly. We were going to wait for the results and her family but clearly, everyone is keeping quiet and dragging him in the mud. I WON’T! I have NEVER kept quiet in the face of ILLS, i won’t start now.
And to CP, Biodun stay strong cos THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!! ?ALWAYS and FOREVER!

And to EVERY BLOG who has gone out of their way to tell a lie- in the slide is the article posted by GLB, she took it down almost immediately before posting the witness’ account, how do we go from electrocution to RAPE? I don’t have an issue with an investigation as it NATURALLY, under NORMAL circumstances should be conducted anywhere in the world, BUT categorically alleging you know people he raped and abused is NOT sth to joke about. This is how people mIslead the ALREADY IGNORANT PUBLIC. Giving people a reason to form NEGATIVE opinions and i see people who i thought had sense making SNIDE remarks? You want to know how we landed here, it was all your commenting. So kudos to the blogs and YOU ESPECIALLY, the ignorant Lot.
An educative or informative post be put up, you wont see comments. When Dangote truck killed three of my aunts at once, there was no uproar. Then a NATURAL ACCIDENT will occur, u say it was MURDER!
May God forgive US ALL!
May His divine assistance remain always with us and may the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace, AMEN!

How BBN’s Jackye Madu hinted on Instagram that her boyfriend was not treating her right

We earlier reported of how Ex Big Brother Naija housemate, Jackye Madu’s boyfriend, Lami, took to his Instagram page to pen her a long emotional message asking for her forgiveness.

In his apology, he said his past is not something he is proud of, saying he had hurt her in the past but she still stayed and loved him.

Lami went on to ask his followers to plead to his girlfriend on his behalf and help him ask for her forgiveness and take him back. Jackye who has since gone private on her Instagram is yet to respond.

Tanzanian President Magufuli orders probe on COVID-19 kits after goat and pawpaw test positive for Coronavirus

Tanzanian president, John Magufuli on Sunday ordered the probe on the country’s Coronavirus testing kits after samples taken from a goat and pawpaw tested positive.

Speaking at an event in Chato in the northwest of Tanzania, the president said the COVID-19 testing kits which had been imported from abroad had “technical errors”.

Magufuli also said he had instructed Tanzanian security forces to check the quality of the kits, who then randomly obtained several non-human samples, including from a pawpaw, a goat, and a sheep, but had assigned them human names and ages.

According to him, these samples were then submitted to Tanzania’s laboratory to test for the Coronavirus, with the lab technicians left deliberately unaware of their origins.

President Magufuli later disclosed that samples from the pawpaw and the goat tested positive for Covid-19, adding it was likely that some people were being tested positive when in fact they were not infected by the Coronavirus. \

“We extracted a sample from a goat which turned positive. This tells you that something is not adding up,” he stated.

“Are we now supposed to quarantine goats and fruits?” President Magufuli questioned.
