A Nigerian Lady has accused an Onitsha Bus Conductor of sexual assault after she claimed he touched her private part.
The lady who is a serving corps member, took to her Instagram to narrate how a bus conductor molested her by touching her private part while she was on her way from Onitsha to Asaba.
The lady claims she was fully dressed in her NYSC uniform when this happened and she didn’t hesitate to give the conductor a hot slap with her slippers.
Sharing photos of the bus conductor, she wrote ;
This B*stard right here molested today. He touched me in my V*gina. Not my butt(he f*cking placed his hands on my V*gina or what do you call the frontal part of my privates?)
I went for my monthly clearance at my local government in Onitsha and was on my way back to Asaba when this happened at the park at Upper Iweka. He was walking close towards me and as soon as he got close to me, he touched me. I gave him a very hot slap with my hands and slippers.
I don’t deserve this. I feel raped, used and worse. Why? Why would you touch me without my consent? I was fully dressed in my Nysc uniform. Those boys always do this. I am beyond mortified typing this but I don’t have a choice but to say something. I’m scared, My Vjay doesn’t feel right. Something’s not right. Please I need to find this man. I sought help at the army cantonment but he was gone by the time we got there. I am so mad and scared
Two women were gruesomely assaulted and robbed by a group of men in a homophobic attack in london.
The women identified as Melania Geymonat and her girlfriend Chris – were on a night bus in Camden, north London, in the early hours of May 30 when they were attacked.
Melania Geymonat took to Facebook to share a bloodied photo of herself and her girlfriend, Chris, as she narrated the attack.
She wrote:
“They started behaving like hooligans, demanding that we kissed so they could enjoy watching, calling us ‘lesbians’ and describing sexual positions.”
“The next thing I know is that Chris is in the middle of the bus fighting with them. On an impulse, I went over there only to find her face bleeding and three of them beating her up. The next thing I know is I’m being punched.”
“I got dizzy at the sight of my blood and fell back.”
“I don’t know yet if my nose is broken, and I haven’t been able to go back to work, but what upsets me the most is that VIOLENCE HAS BECOME A COMMON THING, that sometimes it’s necessary to see a woman bleeding after having been punched to feel some kind of impact.
“We have to endure verbal harassment AND CHAUVINIST, MISOGYNISTIC AND HOMOPHOBIC VIOLENCE because when you stand up for yourself s**t like this happens.”
Police are calling for witnesses to the attack.
The police said in a statement earlier Friday: “As they sat on the top deck they were approached by a group of four males who began to make lewd and homophobic comments to them. The women were then attacked and punched several times before the males ran off the bus. A phone and bag were stolen during the assault.
“Both women were taken to hospital for treatment to facial injuries.”
Police added later that arrests had been made, but gave no further details.

Justice Sikiru Oyinloye of Kwara State High Court, Ilorin, has convicted two Internet fraudsters, Johnson Okuselu, 23 and Saheed Olanrewaju, 25, to one year imprisonment without an option of fine for alleged internet scam.
A statement from the EFCC says that during the trial, an investigator of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Olamide Sadiq, told the court that on April 28th, based on reliable information concerning the suspicious activities of defendant about internet fraud, the operatives arrested the defendants at Ilorin International Airport.
The witness said that their phones were searched and it was revealed that the defendants created an email, using the name James kiak, with email address, captainjameskaik@gmail. Com; while “using the picture of a white man to deceive his unsuspecting victim”. He said after analysing the e-mail and several other email correspondents between the defendants and their victims, one Brenda Hurling, it was revealed that it was scam mail.
The entire incriminating documents discovered from the defendants were admitted in court as evidence P1 and P2a. The IPhone was admitted as evidence P1, while the statement made by the defendant in April was admitted as P2a.
“The document was endorsed by the defendant, attached to the document is a certificate of identification,” Sadiq said. Also admitted as evidence is the printed out email transactions that transpired between the defendant and Brenda Hurling and the certificate of identification was admitted as evidence P2b.
The prosecution counsel, Mr. A. A. Adebayo, told the court that sometimes in April, Okuselu pretended to be an America woman, one Blessed Saviour, claiming to provide job to one Omni Guzman, in United States of America.
Adebayo said that it was contained in the accused person’s Gmail account; blessed.saviour000@gmail.com; email conversation with his victim.
According to the prosecution Counsel, Okuselu committed an offence, contrary to sections 95, 321 of the penal code law and punishable under section 322 of the same law. Adebayo said the defendants entered a plea bargain agreement.
After hearing the two counsels, Justice Oyinloye accepted the plea bargain and sentenced the two accused persons after they “pleaded guilty” to the charges brought against them by the EFCC.
Oyinloye said the sentence followed a plea bargain agreement, entered upon by the prosecution and defence counsel and the evidence admitted into court.
He further said that “following the accused acceptance of guilt; he therefore sentenced the accused person to 1 year in Oke-kura prison yard”.
According to the presiding Judge “The sentence service will commence from April 28, when the accused persons were arrested by the anti graft body” and asked them to write an undertaking to the court, that they will never commit same offence again.

Justice Oyebisi Folayemi Omoleye, a presiding judge of the Court of Appeal has issued an official statement to address the reports containing video and photos showing where she allegedly slapped and confronted a Redeemed church pastor over noise pollution in Ondo State.
Speaking through her lawyer, Okedinachi Nelson, Esq, the judge in an official statement said, ‘a member of the RCCG Glory Tabernacle Church, IjapoEstate, Akure assaulted a sitting justice of the court of Appeal Akure division on Wednesday, 5th of June, 2019‘.
The statement reads in full,
In the past 48 hours the social media has been awash with the fake and concocted story of how Honourable Justice O.F. Omoleye, J.C.A. purportedly invaded the Redeemed Christian Church of Glory Tabernacles, Ijapo Estate, Akure on the 5th of June, 2019 during a church Service.
The fake news further stated that the Honourable Justice attacked an aged woman who fainted and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Nothing can be farther than the truth. The church in question is illegally built on a canal right beside the residence of the Honourable Justice where she has been living since 1984 before the foundation of the church was laid.
Ever since the emergence of the said Redeemed Church in Ijapo Estate, which is largely a residential estate, it has constituted unabated nuisance to the annoyance of the entire neighbourhood. The honourable Justice through her solicitors in a letter dated 22nd of May, 2019 and addressed to the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, complained about the noise and environmental nuisance constituted by the church.
The said letter unequivocally stated that such noise amounted to a breach of the honourable Justice’s right to quiet possession/ enjoyment of her property. The said judge, who is a widow of almost 30 years, has had continued engagements with the church (which is situated on an illegally acquired plot beside her property) in relation to the constant disturbance of peace both during the daytime and at nighttime every day of the week.
Despite various attempts to mediate peace terms with the church, the church failed severally to keep its side of agreements made. The Justice’s lawyer informed the church of the court action initiated against them on the public disturbance issue, and hence the church Pastorate and Members have been jittery.
In response to the her Lordship’s Solicitors letter, Pastor Dele Oyesola, Pastor-in-Charge of the RCCG, Ondo Province wrote a letter delivered on 6th of June, 2019 at the office of His Lordship’s Solicitors requested for date, time and venue for a meeting between the Church and the said Solicitors in respect of the acts of nuisance complained of. It is pertinent to note that in the letter written on behalf of the church, no reference was made to any of the allegations contained in the fake news being circulated by the church.
On the day in question, the Honourable Justice intended to have a peaceful stay at home but the usual nuisance and uncontrolled noise from the church would not allow her. On the instruction of her lawyer and in furtherance of her intention to gather evidence to present to Pastor Dele Oyesola, Pastor-in-Charge of the RCCG, Ondo Province at the meeting he proposed, the Honourable Justice, decided to take pictures of wares displayed for sale along and on her property , suddenly, one of the church members attacked her from behind, punched her and broke her phone. It took the intervention of her orderly to prevent them from injuring her. The other members came out in their troops cursing her and threatening to attack her.
It is unfortunate that a renowned church like the RCCG would go to extent to sponsor fake news against a sitting Justice of the Court of Appeal who has done nothing wrong but to ask that she be allowed to live in peace. We are all not oblivious of the nuisance that churches and other places of worship constitute in residential areas.
This fake story gained traction simply because the church is all out to harass and bully her. Rather than continue in this campaign of calumny against her, the RCCG should purge itself of the unabated nuisance particularly because the entire Ijapo Estate residents are tired.

Okedinachi Nelson, Esq
Nigeria’s oldest prisoner, Pa Celestine Egbohuche, has regained his freedom after 19 years of being in the Enugu Maximum Prison.
Pa Egbunuche was sent to jail after a court found him and his son, Paul, guilty of plotting murder and condemned him to death. Just before leaving office, former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, granted him state pardon.
The 100-year-old ex-convict was received outside the Enugu state maximum security prison by his only surviving daughter and the representatives of Global Society for Anti Corruption, an NGO who facilitated his release.
“I’m so grateful to God for this day. I’m the happiest human being on Earth” Celestine told newsmen
Egbunuche, suffers from health problems including diabetes and failing eyesight, and is currently in a hospital.
Mild drama ensued at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, the Glory Tabernacle parish, at Ijapo Estate in Akure, Ondo State capital, when one Justice Oyebisi Folayemi Omoleye, a presiding judge of the Court of Appeal, confronted the church’s parishioner over its noisy religious activities.
According to a report by Saharareporters, Justice Omoleye, wielding a stick in her hand, invaded the RCCG Church, in company of her security guard and allegedly assaulted some of its worshipers on Wednesday and Felix Solomon, a pastor in the parish, Felicia Akindurojoye, an assistant pastor and some others were reportedly injured by Justice Omoleye during the attack.
The incident happened during the church’s weekly programme called the Divine Encounter. Explaining what happened, an eyewitness said the judge dashed into the church’s building and began to film the congregation’s activities.
The source said,
“This woman (Justice Omoleye) entered into the church alongside her security guard and she began to record a video of the worshipers with her mobile phone. Immediately, one of the presiding pastors saw her and went to inquire why was she filming congregational worshipers in the church. But she replied that she was on the church premises to record the activites of the worshipers as they always disturbed her peace. I noticed that the pastor was really not comfortable with her action but gave her the go-ahead to record the programme since it is a church.
“But as a result of her action, many of the worshipers who attended the programme could not concentrate. And all of us was wondering what she was up to with the filming as she was busy recording our faces with her mobile phone. Just imagine, this woman stayed in the church and waited from 10 am when the programme started till 12 noon and busy filming the activity.
“She waited until the church was about to end its programme and again started to record the worshipers who were coming out of the church. The woman intentionally disrupted the church’s programme because she complained too much that we disturbed her peace with activities of the church.”
According to the source, one of the pastors challenged Justice Omoleye when she discovered that the judge was recording the church’s activities on her mobile phone.
“The Assistant Pastor, Akindunjoye, who is 68 years old was coming out of the church covering her face with her bag and asked the judge why she was recording her face and the people in the House of God. But she replied that she had recorded everybody because the church is a fake one while those worshiping in the place are all evil people. Later, she attacked our pastor and slapped her repeatedly on her face and the pastor fell on the floor with blood gushing out of her mouth. We had to rush her to a hospital,” he disclosed.
One of the heads of the church, Olatunde Awoyelu, who also confirmed the incident. Awoyelu, who doubled as the administrative officer of the church, accused the judge of intimidating the church because of her status.
He explained that Justice Omoleye had complained about the disturbance caused by the church during its weekly programme and had attempted in the past to have the church relocated.
Awoyelu said,
“It is true, the woman came into the church today and started filming with her mobile phone all those in the congregation who were worshiping. “We did allow her to film because this is a House of God but she began to act unseemly at the end of the programme. Some of our church members had to challenge her on the reason why she had to start filming their faces again even after the programme. Instead, she armed herself with a big stick, chasing and attacking people in the church.
The Ondo State Police Command said it could not comment on the issue as it had received no report regarding the incident.
Head of states, President Muhammadu Buhari earlier today had a closed door meeting with the country’s 36 state governors.
The meeting which was also attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and all the service chiefs, focused on insecurity and how it can be tackled effectively.

There was pandemonium on Wednesday, at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Glory Tabernacle Parish, Ijapo-Estate Akure, Ondo State, when a court Judge attacked the pastor and a member over noise pollution.

THIS WAY DOWN THE LINE, HOWEVER, I REALISE THAT THE DAY OF THAT INVASION WAS THE SADDEST – BUT IN MANY WAYS, IT WAS ALSO A GOOD DAY FOR ASSERTING THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE LEGISLATURE AND THE TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRACY.
