A 13-year-old boy, Ebikari Andrew, has stabbed his 20-year-old elder brother to death at Jehovah Witness Road, off Goodnews Street in Azikoro, Bayelsa State.

The suspect stabbed his elder brother, Tarikebina Andrew, over a minor disagreement which emanated when the deceased asked Ebi, who have been sleeping outside with his friends, to go home.

The sad incident, which occurred at about 9pm on Saturday, threw many into shock as their father was accused of hurriedly burying the murdered son to avoid police investigation and arrest of his alleged killer son.

The suspect and the deceased were at a friend’s place few meters away from their home, when the deceased asked his younger brother to go home because it was late, an order the younger brother refused.

His refusal to obey Tarikebina, led to a disagreement. Ebi got angry by the brother’s order and entered the kitchen of the friend’s house and took a knife which he later used in stabbing his elder brother to death.

The deceased was rushed to the Federal Medical Center, Yenagoa where he was confirmed dead due to internal bleeding.

Their dad later took the deceased home and buried him. Some concerned neighbors, however, contacted the Police who immediately deployed officers to the scene and arrested the father.

Two women who have been best friends since they were kids discovered just last month that they are biological sisters.

The women, identified as Ashley Thomas and Latoya Wimberly, have been inseparable for 17 years. People often commented that they look alike. As children, they had identical gaps in their front teeth, high cheek bones and the same complexion. They also wore the same size in shoes. They shared the same interests, including in music and fashion.

Though they were really close, they never suspected they were biological sisters until in January 2020 when Latoya Wimberly, 29, had a party to celebrate her engagement. Ashley Thomas, 31, shared photos from the party on Facebook.

Some of the photos included Latoya Wimberly’s father, Kenneth Wimberly.

While looking at the photos online, a friend of Ashley Thomas’ mother saw Kenneth and realized she knew him.

“Ashley’s mom’s best friend told her she had no idea my dad was Kenny,” Latoya Wimberly said. “She said she and Ashley’s mom used to hang around him back when they were young. When Ashley told me, I knew something didn’t click. So I asked her to send me a picture of her mom’s best friend and showed it to my dad and asked him if he recognized her.”

Kenneth immediately recognized the woman. And later, when shown a photo of Ashley Thomas’ mother, he recognized her, too. He revealed they had had a brief romantic relationship.

When he was told that Ashley Thomas did not know who her biological father was, Kenneth suspected it might be him and he volunteered to go for a DNA test with his daughter Latoya and her friend Ashley.

On February 21, 2020, the results came in and the girls discovered that they are indeed sisters.

“It was a Friday, and I was at work when I got the call,” Ashley Thomas said. “When Kenny told me he was my dad, chills went through my body. I couldn’t think. I couldn’t process it. I couldn’t even talk to them.”

Thomas was 15 when she learned that the man who had raised her was not her biological father. Her mother, who died 11 years ago, never told her who may have been her father. Ashley’s family had also never met Latoya’s family, so they didn’t suspect , since Aanything.

However, Ashley hung out with Latoya a lot, her father Kenneth played a fatherly role in her life, without knowing she’s his biological daughter.”

Ashley was the only one of my friends who didn’t miss a single family event,” Latoya Wimberly said. “She was extremely close to my entire family on both sides. If my father is taking me out, Ashley’s coming with me. If someone asks who are those girls, he says ‘Those are my girls.’ If she has a car problem or any kind of issue, she always goes to my dad. But somehow our families never met.”

Ashley Thomas described the discovery as “beautiful,” but also “extremely emotional.”

She said: “I have so many questions for my mom and I will never have any of those answers. Did she know he was my father?”

She added: “Big Kenny was like my dad. He was there for me the whole time and I had no idea.”

CNN reports that before this discovery, the three have always been close and even regarded each other as family.

Ashley Thomas, who has two children, said: “It’s just a weird feeling. It’s definitely going to take some time. I’m still in disbelief. But I want him to be a part of his grandchildren’s lives.”

Latoya Wimberly said she’s happy for their sisterhood to be official, but also feels guilty that Kenneth was more involved in her life than Ashley’s.

“I watched Ashley go through so many things growing up and now all I can think about is that her father was here and he could have been there for her just like he was for me,” said Latoya. “So that’s very emotional.”

As for Kenneth, he said he’s looking forward to building a stronger relationship with Thomas and “loving her as his daughter.” He also wants to spend more time with his newfound grandchildren.

“I’ve always seen the little ones around and this entire time they were my grandchildren and I didn’t even know,” he said.

The Lagos state police command have arrested one Lateef Saheed, for allegedly pushing his landlady, 56-year-old, Olayemi Adetola-Odekoya, to death during a face off at their place of residence on Apata Street in the Palmgrove area of Shomolu, Lagos State on February 24th.

According to reports, the residents of compound where they stayed had been attacked by armed robbers on several occasions. To curb the attacks, Olayemi called a meeting of the tenants where it was agreed that she would be in charge of locking and opening the building’s main entrance door at night and in the morning.

The times to open and shut the gate were also agreed upon at the meeting as 5:30am and 11pm respectively.

On the day of the incident, Lateef was said to be set to go to work before the agreed time and ran out of patience when efforts to get the landlady including – banging her apartment door- to open the main entrance door proved abortive.

Lateef who wanted to leave for work at 5am, allegedly broke the main entrance door when the landlady ignored his call to open the door.

The deceased landlady rushed out in anger and held Lateef by the shirt, preventing him from leaving, while vowing to ensure that he is arrested by men of the Pedro police station for breaking her door. In order to free himself from her grip, Lateef allegedly pushed her to the ground then drove off.

Olayemi became unconscious soon after she was pushed to the ground and was rushed to the Shomolu General Hospital, where she was confirmed dead.

Lateef reportedly didn’t come back home on the day of the incident, so the police invited his wife to produce him and he showed up the following day.

Confirming the arrest, the spokesperson of the state police command, Bala Elkana, said an investigation is ongoing into the matter.

Two men, Kito and Chidi have been arrested after they killed a homosexual man who contacted of them via Facebook.

One Kito, aka Utali Ekwensu (the devil’s cane), and his accomplice named Chidi were arrested for killing a man.

After being interrogated they confessed to the crime and narrated how it happened.

Kito said the deceased, who is from Benue state but lives in Owerri, contacted him on Facebook and propositioned him for sex. He accepted and they agreed to meet around Kito’s location. The man also promised to give Kito 20,000 Naira after their sexual appointment.

However, Kito had other plans. He said he connived with his friends to steal the 20K from the deceased when he arrives, without rendering the sexual service agreed upon.

When the deceased arrived as planned, Kito asked him for the 20K but the man said he will only pay after their tryst. Kito then signalled his accomplice and he came out and forcefully tried to collect the money from the deceased.

The men said that a fight broke out and Kito hit the man with the weapon in his hand, killing him.

At first, Kito made it sound like he has multiple accomplices but when asked who else was involved in the murder, he said it was only him and Chidi.

Reports claim Kito specializes in luring gay men, raping them, collecting their money, before killing them. A witness claims his friend fortunately escaped from Kito’s snare.

Below is a video of Kito and his accomplice confessing to killing a man from Benue state.

A 24-year-old housewife has been fined Shs250,000 by Kampala City Hall Court, Uganda after being found guilty of stealing church offertory.

Judith Nanangwe, a mother of one month old baby and resident of Kob Road, Seeta in Mukono District on Monday, March 9, appeared before grade one magistrate Valerian Tuhimbise who sentenced her to that fine after she pleaded guilty to stealing offertory bag containing Shs643, 000, the property of Watoto Church, Ntinda branch on March 1, 2020.

Magistrate Tuhimbise said that she fined Shs25,0000 having considered the health and rights of her new born baby as opposed to those of Watoto Church leaders who wanted Nanangwe to serve a custodial sentence coupled with months of counselling.

However, she noted that Nanangwe did a regrettable action of stealing from church instead of going there to repent, and therefore she deserves rehabilitation.

In case she fails to raise the Shs250,000 fine, she will have to serve a five-month prison sentence.
