Californian man gets $21m compensation for wrongful conviction

Californian man gets $21m compensation

A Californian man identified as Craig Coley, got a $21m compensation for wrongful conviction which saw him spend 39 years in prison.

Coley was accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend Rhonda Wicht, 24, and her son Donald Wicht, 4, at their home in Simi Valley on Nov. 11, 1978. The two were found dead in their beds at their apartment on Buyers Street. She was apparently strangled by a macrame rope and her son was smothered.

Coley was arrested later that day. He was tried twice for the crime after a jury deadlocked 10-2 in favor of conviction on April 12, 1979. A second jury found Coley guilty on Jan. 3, 1980. He was sentenced on Feb. 26, 1980, to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

However with the help of advocacy groups such as the Innocence Project, the case was reopened and the Californian man whose prison sentence was upturned got $21m compensation for the wrongful conviction.

“While no amount of money can make up for what happened to Mr. Coley, settling this case is the right thing to do for him and our community,” City Manager Eric Levitt said in a statement, adding that going to trial would be costly and irresponsible.

The settlement allows the city to avoid a potentially long and costly court trial, Levitt said. Of the $21 million, the city will pay approximately $4.9 million, with the remainder to be paid by insurance and other sources.

2-year-old kidnapped in Akwa Ibom (Photo)

A 2-year-old Child identified as Marvellous Nsikan Edet (Pictured below) has reportedly been kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital.

According to twitter user @iPeng who shared the story on the social media platform, the abductors broke into Marvellous’s parents home at Ikpa Road Uyo Akwa Ibom State.

Anyone with useful information should call or message Evelyn Mefo 07036997725 08062187679 or report to any nearest police station.

My father should explain why he gave me such name – Mechanic who answers ‘Sex Machine’.

A young man has caused quite a stir with his rather unusual name. His first name is “Sex” and to make matters worse, his last name is “Machine”.

According to the mechanic who hails from Marondera, Zimbabwe, he was christened such by his father Paul Machine Mvere.

“That is my name. I cannot deny it. I went to Tapfuma Primary School and Rukweza High and that is the name I used,” he said. “Sometimes I call myself Mike, a name that also belongs to my uncle. “My father is the best person to explain why he gave me such a name.”

The Standard reports that the name Sex Machine appears on his EcoCash , but it is truncated. On the Ecocash platform, the man’s name appears as Sex Machine.

“I had to devise means to alter my name so that my clients find it easy and respectable,” he said. “I am happily married. At first my wife could not believe my name, but she adapted to it. She is Mrs Machine. My father calls me Mike or Sex depending on where we are and who is around,” he said.

Pastor reportedly raises man from the dead in church

A clergyman identified Pastor Alph Lukau of Alleluia Ministries International has claimed to have raised a man from the dead during a church service on Sunday.

During the service, the high-flying minister known for his lavish lifestyle, encouraged congregants to keep praying for their miracles.

“Keep on receiving, you are going home with your miracle,” he kept telling congregants as he prayed in tongues.

According to reports, a woman then brought the pastor’s attention to a family that had brought a dead man to church. He was reportedly dead for 3 days

“Pastor Alph, something is happening outside. There is a family that is about to bring a corpse to Zimbabwe, but they are saying something is happening, man of God.

The pastor went outside, then asked the workers to take the coffin out of the hearse.

He asked the workers to open the coffin. He spoke to the deceased’s older brother before the coffin was completely taken out of the hearse.

According to the deceased’s landlord, the man had gotten sick and started “coughing a lot” on Friday.

“We took him to the hospital and they said they could not help him because he did not have papers, so we took him to the doctor and he died there,” she claimed.

The family then took the body to the mortuary, where it was kept until Sunday.

“Rise up!” he shouted, before the man got up and sat in the coffin, looking confused, like a modern-day Lazarus.

‘I get tired of praying to God about Nigeria’ – Toke Makinwa

Toke Makinwa says

Toke Makinwa says she sad and unhappy about the current situation of things in the country.

The Media Personality took to her twitter handle to express her thoughts. She wondered if everyone now appreciates ex-president Goodluck Jonathan.

According to her, she is even getting tired of praying to God about Nigeria and all her problems. She also added that Lagos is no mans land as every tribe contributes to development of the mega city.

Read below ;

I’ve had mixed emotions all weekend as to the elections, woke up this morning sad for all the lives we lost. This can’t be the Nigeria of our dreams

It’s not by force to win at all cost, if the people want you to lead them, it is their choice. If they don’t? It is also their choice. Do not intimidate anyone, Nigeria is not yours.

If your government is not working, we vote you out, if the incoming does not perform, we vote them out too. Nigerians are tired, some have left seeking a better life outside, let those who believe in it get a fair chance

The tribal insults on here, the fighting each other and disrespect for ourselves just shows we are no different from the leadership we complain about daily

Ballot box snatching, burning down election materials cos you are dissatisfied it’s not going in your Favor is weak! If you lose, lose with some dignity, I hope we all appreciate Goodluck now. Sighhhhh

My people perish for lack of knowledge”, in the case of Nigeria it is not lack of knowledge but “Poverty”…. Poverty of the mind is the worst kind. God help us all

I even get tired of calling God in to our matter as Nigerians, he has given us so much, blessed us so much. Our problem is man made, selfishness, greed, lack of love

The bloodshed is disgusting, if this can happen in 2019, how ready are we really for the change we crave so bad? It is not by force, if we don’t want you, leave us with the consequence, of who we elect does not do us right we meet again in 4 years and we do the same.

Anti-drug abuse campaigner arrested with 5kg heroin (Photo)

The Police in Nairobi have arrested a Kenyan notorious drug trafficker after he was caught with five kilograms of heroin.

Mr.Joseph Njau Ngendo who parades himself as an anti-drug abuse campaigner in the country was arrested on Friday in Westlands, Nairobi after returning from a trip to Kampala, Uganda.

Njau, who authorities say is part of a larger heroin distribution network in Nairobi is said to have procured the narcotics from a Nigerian based in Kampala which he had concealed inside pawpaws.

“Joseph Njau Ngendo was arrested within Westlands area on his return from Kampala, Uganda… he had left Nairobi on Wednesday night travelling by MASH bus,” reads a police report.

“Police records indicate that Njau is a frequent traveler to Uganda. He has a pattern of leaving Kenya through Busia border and comes back to Kenya through Malaba border. He does this to evade detection,” the reports expounds.

“In early February 2019, Njau made two other trips to Uganda where he is suspected to have hammered a deal with his Nigerian drug associates.”

Njau, the authorities say, masks his drug dealing activities in legitimate business and charity work.

“When not dealing drugs Njau Ngendo works part time as an anti-drug abuse campaigner. He regularly visit schools and social gatherings to give talks against drug abuse.”

The suspect will be arraigned at the JKIA law courts on Monday, February 25 where he is expected to be charged with possession and trafficking in narcotic drugs.

I have spent N5million on plastic surgery – Afrocandy tells Nigerians

Afrocandy tells Nigerians

US-based Nigerian actress and porn star, Judith Mazagwu, better known as Afrocandy has revealed that she’s spent 14 thousand dollars (almost N5m) to keep her body in shape with LIPO 360 and BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), the combination of which is a popular surgical procedure for individuals who are looking for a more contoured midsection, as well as adding shape and volume to their butts.

Afrocandy made the revelation when reacting to a hater questioning her way of life.

She said ;

“My brother if I give you the $14,000 plus, I just spent on my LIPO 360 and BBL and still going back in for more, your life and your family’s lives will never be the same again. Some people go about hating on other people they know nothing about because their lives are miserable.

I usually don’t talk like this and try my best to avoid negativity but evil people won’t let me be. Try to wish good for others, maybe God will bless you. Everyone has the rights to live the best ways they deem right for themselves. Live and let Live

My dear Oloye, DR ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI, I appreciate the battles you fought for Democracy. But for you, and a few others, Nigeria would have been sentenced to a full-blown dictatorship.

Because you stood, like the Rock of Gibraltar, elections and politics became full-scale war in Nigeria. In the last four years, despite your epic support for the Saints, they threw everything at you, but God kept you going, miraculously.

Today, as always, I salute your doggedness. You’re a General. The best is yet to come…

Saraki lost to his challenger in all the 4 local government areas in the district as he polled 68,994 votes against Oloriegbe’s 123,808.

NigeriaDecides2019: Governor Amosun wins Ogun Central Senatorial seat

Governor Amosun wins Ogun Central Senatorial seat

Ibikunle Amosun who took a break for the Senate to become the Governor of Ogun State for 8 years, has won the Ogun Central Senatorial seat.

Governor Amosun won the Ogun Central Senatorial Seat by polling 88,110 votes, against his closest opponent, Solomon Sanyaolu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who got 33,276 votes. Amosun was elected governor in 2011 and was re-elected in 2015, and was the representative of the Ogun Central Senatorial district between 2003 and 2007 before he lost the governorship election in 2007.

Before now, there were fears that Mr Amosun’s adversaries may be seeking to pull the rug from under his feet in the ensuing intrigues. Not a few think that it is payback time for Mr Amosun, and the godfathers would not let him go free after perpetrating ‘heinous’ anti-party activities.

It was gathered that plots have thickened, even among APC leaders in the state to ensure he loses his bid to go to the Senate. Mr Amosun, however, appears to have strong control over his arena. His larger group of APC supporters are solidly behind him, even though they are currently backing a governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, Adekunle Akinlade. Mr Sanyaolu is a former commissioner and had headed the Christian Welfare Board in the state.
