A kidnapper who was arrested for the abduction and rape of a middle-aged woman has claimed she gave him sex voluntarily and didn’t fight him off.
27-year-old Saidu Iliya was paraded at the Niger State Police Command for kidnapping and raping one Rakiya Sani.
According to reports, on March 5, 2020, one Mohammed Sani of the Vunu Fulani Camp Settlement in Lavun reported that some armed men attacked his home and kidnapped his wife.
The kidnappers later demanded N10m ransom but eventually settled for N600,000 after negotiations.
However, Iliya was apprehended on March 8, while attempting to collect the ransom.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Wasiu Abiodun, said that after being interrogated, the suspect confessed to the crime.
Iliya said: “Since the two of us were in a hidden place, our body mechanism began to change and we had sex; probably she didn’t want to do anything that would provoke me to kill her and she obliged me at that point.
“l did not force her to have sex with me; she voluntarily gave me sex, while I was waiting to collect the ransom.”
“I did not use any protection while making love to her.”

Mrs Queen Uba Eziuche, a Batch B member with call up number: NYSC/ISU/2020/0562, reportedly went to sleep after the regular morning exercise and she didn’t wake up.
The state NYSC coordinator, Mr Julius Amusan, who confirmed her death on Wednesday, March 18, said she died from an ailment suspected to be a terminal disease.
Meanwhile the state Governor, Udom Emmanuel lamented the death of the youth corps member. In a condolence message to the deceased’s family and the Director General of the NYSC, the governor expressed shock over Ms Eziuche’s death.
Governor Emmanuel said: “The sudden exit of Mrs Queen Eziuche has deprived Akwa Ibom State of the contribution she would have made in expanding the layers of our common humanity and also service to her fatherland.”
How is that even possible? TJ gave account of his latest discovery and how he did it. One would have thought it’s a big deal but it is simple and easy..
First step; He uncovered a reliable and trustworthy tipster from UK that concentrate solely on OVER 1.5 GOALS. He made use of the tips supplied from them daily. Average of 100% – 500% return on capital monthly was achieved using 3 rollover strategy. (That is explained in a video tutorial to those who will be fortunate to join in this)
The journey to uncovering the trusted tipsters took him 4years of falling into the hands of scammers. So many stories but I have to cut short to save us time.
Secondly step; Adetunji sees football betting from a different perspective unlike many others sees it. The reason he called his approach FOOTBALL TRADING and not football betting. He follows a laid down plan. Only 2% of people around the globe into football betting know about this secret approach.
N200,000 starting capital
It will wow you to know it was 200k he turned to 6.2million naira in 3 months. He funded his betting account with 200k and subscribed to start receiving games from his trusted tipster.
The strategy is to stake N20,000 only at the beginning of a rollover cycle (10% of capital at the beginning of a rollover) and this grows along.
Below is sample of what 3 rollover means. It’s the best for the over 1.5 goals package. It will be explained in details. Started the one below with 42k and made it 69k the 1st day. Used the 69k and turned it to 125k the 2nd day. And on the final day, the 3rd day, used the 125k to achieve 215k. That ends the rollover. A successful rollover. Achieving 6+ of such rollovers monthly is the target.
Click Here=> http://bit.ly/faizfah , to subscribe to Adetunji’s inner circle and you will see the breakdown of the process. He doesn’t gamble but follow a laid down rule. He uses 10% of his capital to begin the rollover cycle of the over 1.5 goals. He trusted his UK’s tipster for this and strictly use his games.
He confessed that on rare occasion, the tipster might have a bad month in terms of performance. He recalled a certain bad month but having come a long way to trust them, he always keeps calm, think of long-term benefits and hope for the best. And overall, it’s been fantastic.
The month was February with -120% but, that the only negative month so far in 2019. Here are the PROFIT/LOSS for 2019 using the system.
January +299% , February -120%, March +379%, April +348%, May +375%, June +133%, July +648%, August +531%, September +656% and October 139%
This whole thing might look complex especially to those who are not used to football betting already. But it isn’t. Even someone who hasn’t done anything related to football betting before can implement this. Even if you don’t know who C. Ronaldo or Mourinho is.
I have told ADETUNJI to give more detailed explanation of the steps and processes involved, including sharing the games of his trusted Tipster and his strategy of using it daily. If you want that, Great! It means you can replicate his success.
Below is this Guy in the little world of his own. He vowed to me that his target for the next 6months from football trading is 20 Million.
I have convinced him to show this secret to just 97 people on how he did it. Click on this link => http://bit.ly/faizfah to subscribe to him today
Liverpool of England and Senegal striker Saido Mane has donated a whooping £41,000 to a health organization fighting the spread of coronavirus in Senegal as the West African nation comes to grips with the global pandemic.
Senegal has 27 confirmed cases of the deadly virus, with two recoveries and according to the player’s agent who spoke to BBC, the CAF player of the year made the donations ‘spontaneously’
Mane also took to social media to tell Senegalese people to take the virus ‘extremely seriously’, before giving them tips on how to avoid the disease by applying ‘disinfectant or wash their hands for at least 30 seconds’.
Senegalese officials announced Monday the suspension of flights between the West African country and several countries in Europe (France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Italy) and in the Northern Africa (Algeria, Tunisia) while Morocco already announced the suspension of flights with Senegal.
A Nigerian Lady on twitter known as Omotayo, has taken to the platform to speak out against ‘Feminisfaum’.
According to Omotayo, Feminism is causing gender war, diversity and promoting hate.

Feminism is causing diversity
Funny how Some feminists are attacking their fellow ladies for saying they ain’t in support of feminism, this is toxicity, I think its high time we understand the fact that we can have equal right but we all ain’t equal, can a female footballer be getting same pay as the male?
Some certain things just don’t have manuals, things like marriage and relationships, just practice whatever paddle your boat, before now we have men that willingly do house chores and all for their women, you don’t have to set standards to how someone should live their life
How come marriage and relationships no longer last since we begin to push this Feminism agenda across the globe? Are we really making progress or we are moving backward?
The only thing I’m not in support of is a lady living under same roof with abusive partner, Being a woman alone is a privilege on its own, we really need to stop looking for what isn’t missing and pick ourselves up from where we miss the road
If we continue to live like this with all these hate and toxicity, in 10 years time there won’t be any couple we can point a finger to and refer to as husband and wife, my Generation has missed the target, let’s go back to our drawing board and re strategies please

The government subsequently announced some travel restrictions, with the President further announcing a ban on all social gatherings, including churches, mosques and sporting activities.
The President also ordered an indefinite closure of educational institutions from today, Monday, March 16, 2020.
Meanwhile, the number of Coronavirus cases recorded in Ghana has risen to seven within the last one week.
In an effort to curb the spread of the deadly CoronaVirus, the Ogun state government has banned large gatherings in places like cinemas, sports arena, restaurants and night clubs for the next 30 days.
Prince Dapo Abiodu, Executive Governor, Ogun State.
A statement released by the Chief Press Secretary to the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, Kunle Somorin, announcing the ban, reads
Further measures so far taken to ramp up its efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the Ogun State Government has found it expedient to announce the following additional measures:
• Immediate ban of all high-densitygatherings that would bring together 50 or more persons in the same place, such as social clubs, halls, cinemas, night clubs, restaurants, cafes, and sport arenas. This measure will be in effect for the next 30 days in the first instance.
This restriction has to be enforced without prejudice to people’s fundamental rights to association and movement, because safety of our people and their welfare are priorities that cannot be toyed with. The Government will continue to engage all the stakeholders, including our religious leaders to sensitise the populace on the need to maintain social distancing and collective effort to combat this pandemic.
The Government will continue the surveillance initiatives and intensify sensitisation onCOVID-19. This is more so given the peculiarity of its location as the Nation’s Gateway State and its industrial capital. Our epidemiologists and other health workers are working round the clock with Federal agencies and international development agencies to stop the spread of corona virus.
In view of the recent confirmed cases in the country, Governor Abiodun reassures the populace that no stone will be left unturned to ensure that the state is prepared at all times to respond appropriately. He furtherencourages people to maintain a high level of suspicion and report any suspected case to the appropriate authorities.”

According to the governing body, the shutdown affects all on-field activities the various National Teams, the Nigeria Professional Football League, the other Leagues, youth football programmes, and even street football.
President of the NFF, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick said the cessation will be for four weeks after which the situation will be reviewed in line with events and trends worldwide.
He also advised all members of the football family to observe the various safety precautions and conduct as advised by the Federal Ministry of Health and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, such as hand-washing, the use of sanitizers and social distancing.
Pinnick also stated that the only football activity that will be permitted is the work of the NFF investigation committee into the death of Chineme Martins, which was inaugurated yesterday in Benin City and will submit its report within the next 10 days.
Famous singer, Harrysong who almost took his own life some years ago, has finally shared in details why he tried to kill himself.
Recall that the singer about two years ago posted a very disturbing message on social media about death and fans were immediately concerned about his well being.
He wrote: ‘Don’t cry wen i die, celebrate, put up a kingmaker concert, empower more youths,.. I have Lived.. I have Done my bit, carry on in grace… TEKERO? I LOVE YOU ALL.”
All attempts to reach out to him were futile and after a while, the singer came back like nothing ever happened.
However, in a recent interview, the singer finally opened about what prompted him to make such a move. It appears the singer was actually duped of 180 million naira by fraudsters.
According to him, he was saving up for a business in the oil and gas sector but ended up getting duped. The singer further revealed that he had a lot of money at that time but he was very much saddened by the news
“I know it was everywhere about how down I was. I already had plans for 2020 – I was saving for a business. I’m from Delta State and we have oil. I was saving to get into a major business in oil and gas and I was duped. When I got the news that I had been duped of N180 million, it was almost everything to me at the time.
“When I said I was down, I was really down. But thank God for grace that we’re back stronger. Now, there’s life and talent – we are ready for the next phase. People thought I was going to die, but I wasn’t (laughs). It’s only been a year and some months since then and I have more. While there’s life there’s hope. Almost everybody; those who loved me, those who hated me, the ones that wanted to stand by me, some called to check if I had really died (laughs), but almost everybody reached out.
The singer also talked about his songwriting and forthcoming EP “Right About Now” which is currently in the works. He added that he hopes to be a bigger and better songwriter than Micheal Jackson and R Kelly.
“They need to upgrade their senses and realize that many were called, but few were chosen – you can’t have all. I can sing, write, play instrument and perform, but it’s a privilege that doesn’t mean I’m way higher than the next person.
“When I started in church, I had music directors who could only write music, but can’t perform it – yet, they were excellent at that writing. It doesn’t mean they are incompetent or incomplete. He nor mean say dem be February. If someone writes a song for you, it means singing is your office and songwriting is that other person’s office.
“That is why publishing deals are broken down – division of labour is necessary. If it’s about ability, I should be Michael Jackson and R.Kelly should be bigger than Michael Jackson. It’s by grace,”Harrysong says.
“It’s not really holding Nigerian music back, it’s just holding us back as a force to push together. I know a lot of young amazing writers who only need a platform. Sometimes, when they get a platform to write for others, they are sworn to secrecy. Sometimes, when we sign artists, we need to get them writers.”
An evangelist identified as Victor Edet has dragged gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo, claming that her appearance and dressing is not what or how a ‘true christian’ should look like.

In a bid to curtail the spread of coronavirus in the state, the Lagos state government, in agreement with religious leaders, has banned all religious congregational service of over 50 worshipers.
The decision was reached after a meeting between the state government and religious bodies which comprised of members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Muslim leaders.
Reading a statement after the meeting which held at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, the state Commissioner for Home Affairs, Prince Anofiu Elegushi said the groups agreed that all large religious gathering of over 50 people should be suspended immediately. He said the suspension would last for four weeks, with a necessary review carried out if need be.
He also announced that a 15-member committee comprises representatives of Muslims and Christians in the State has been set up to ensure the enforcement of the ban. Explaining why the figure was pegged at 50, the Commissioner said it would be easier to trace 50 people .
“We hereby agree we should suspend all religious congregation that is over 50 within the state for four weeks. While the constitution allows for freedom of association and worship, we are of the opinion that we should exercise our rights with extreme caution so as to avoid contacting and spreading of this disease. We hereby appeal to you to please pay close attention to people coming into our places of worship, anyone found showing symptoms of this disease should immediate be isolated and reported to the appropriate authorities.
“We should put in place measures that will ensure cleanliness of our environment bearing in mind that, cleanliness is next to Godliness. Aside our normal ablutions, our worshippers should be encouraged to make use of hand sanitizers, avoid bodily contacts as much as possible and ensure safety measures in and around their places of abode.” he said
Speaking on the ban, the Chief Imam of Lagos State, Sheikh Oluwatoyin Abou-Nolla, said the move is commendable and urged all Muslim leaders to abide by the decision and to also make personal hygiene a priority.
The CAN Chairman, Apostle Alexander Bamgbola on the other hand, said the nation was at a critical point, stressing that since the outbreak of the coronavirus, Christians had been praying.
“We are at a critical moment in Nigeria, since we heard this, we have been praying. We have listened carefully to one another, particularly the government. The responsibility of every government is to protect the lives of the people.
We must be proactive and take preventive measures. It is no longer the issue of religion but survival. We are going to accelerate the education of our people. We must listen to the instruction of the government and take the instruction seriously. We agree with the action of the government” he said

I just tested positive to the corona virus. I’m too weak to even feel sorry for myself, but I intend to share my symptoms to allow people quickly identify and self-isolate immediately, to avoid infecting others. #COVID2019#FightCOVID19#COVID19
The Lagos state government is set to ask religious leaders in the state to suspend all religious gatherings. These include Sunday Services in churches and Friday Jummat services in the various mosques.
The state Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotosho, made this known at a press briefing today March 18th.
“We are all aware that the Federal Government asked the National Youth Service Corps to shut down orientation camps. Yesterday (Tuesday) the Commissioner for Home Affairs said there will be a meeting with religious leaders today (Wednesday). It is going to be suggested to them to maybe stop Friday and Sunday services – wherever we have large gatherings.
Going by the new development, I am sure they will be advised to shut down the services in the interest of the public and all of us. I am sure they are going to comply” Omotosho said
