A woman is currently at large after hacking her husband to death with an axe during dispute over Christmas gift.
Homicide detectives in Mutare are looking for the woman from Chikanga in Mutare, Zimbabwe, who disappeared soon after axing her husband to death following a domestic dispute on December 24.
Anesu Mafokosho is alleged to have axed Vitalis Mudhumo, 26, at around 3pm soon after the couple returned home from the city centre where they had gone shopping. The dispute which ended in the death of the husband was sparked by gifts which the couple had bought for their child for Christmas.
According to local reports, the couple’s union was experiencing some problems and the unresolved marital dispute was threatening their marriage.
On December 24 the Vitalis met his wife Anesu at the Stop Sign in Chikanga 2. The two drove to Edgars Mutare where they bought their three-year-old daughter’s clothes. After shopping, the deceased and his wife went back home. On getting home, Anesu’s younger sister, who was in the dinning room, heard the couple arguing outside the yard for about 45 minutes.
Moments later they got into the house and entered into their bedroom. In the bedroom, Vitalis started packing his clothes saying he was moving out. His wife begged him to change his mind to no avail.
The situation degenerated into chaos resulting in the wife axing the deceased three time on the neck.
Soon after committing the offence, Mafokosho fled home and sent a text message to her sister telling her to go see what she had done in the bedroom.
On getting into the room, the younger sister found Vitalis bleeding and convulsing on the bed.
Manicaland police spokesman Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa said Mudhumo’s body was taken to Mutare Provincial Hospital for post mortem.
The accused is still at large and investigations are in progress.
Controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo has mentioned that there is curse on the Adeleke family and Davido has the responsibility to break that in 21 days.
Olunloyo also wrote on her Instagram that Davido’s DMW, HKN and OBO acronyms are going to associated with the Illuminati in 2019 and so they should be avoided by anyone who cares about their lives.
Her post reads ;
#ProphetKOO If u are a Davido fan, It’s time for you to DETACH now. OBO, DMW, HKN is the leader of the Illuminati for 2019. Anyone that mentions these acronyms are doomed in the 666 realm. Nothing can go well, businesses failed, jobs lost, standstill bank accounts, failure. My prophecy will come to pass. Women that attend his concerts will get sexually harassed or assaulted. There is an Adeleke curse which had to be broken.
Davido has 48 hrs to fulfill his late mother’s wish to cleanse the evil trailing him & his fans. She told me to tell him to read King David’s Psalm 21 twenty one times before January 1st. Pay attention to verse 12 she said. She said she gave birth to him the 21st day
Davido has exactly 30 hours left to apologize properly to 8 people or the Adeleke curse will never be broken in 2019. His mother told me to tell him to focus on Psalm 21 verse 11-12. The psalm must be read 21 times before midnight Dec 31st 2018. The 666 realm will be unleashed mercilessly in 2019.

Seven notorious robbers believed to be disturbing the peace of Enugu in the last one month have been arrested in different locations by the police.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer [PPRO], Ebere Amaraizu, said the suspects were arrested in Lagos, Anambra,Ebonyi and Enugu states.
The arrests Amaraizu said was the result of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit’s painstaking intelligence operation. He said that the highly specialized robbery gang had killed one Chinedu Nzegwu, a trader and a policeman at Obioma Street in Uwani, Enugu on Sept. 12.
The suspects are Obunike Ugbene, 27, alias Paparazzi, who is the ringleader of the gang from Amaofiagu in Affa of Udi council area of the state but residing at Obinagu road Abakpa Nike near Enugu.
Kenneth Uchenna, 27, alias Madubuagu, who is a highly skilled driver from Imezi Owa community in Ezeagu Local Government; Nkemdilim Mathew, 23, alias Alone from Nodu-Okpuno Awka of Anambra; and Chukwuma Mbam, 22, alias revolution from Ikwo in Ebonyi.

Amaraizu said that the gang leader, Ugbene, had regretted the killings and prayed God to forgive him as he never intended to kill anyone but circumstance led him and the gang to do that. He noted that the gang leader had confessed and revealed to police operatives their numerous operations, the locations where they had operated in the state and number of people they had killed so far. Through intelligence information, the gang leader was nabbed in Lagos by the operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit where he had escaped to and his arrest facilitated the arrest of other members of his gang,’’ he said.
Amaraizu noted that the gang leader, Ugbene, while regretting his action, advised youths to desist from involvement in any criminal activities as “there is no peace for any criminal and no matter what, he must be caught’’. The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Mohammed Danmallam, applauded the Anti-Kidnapping Unit and promised that the command would partner with sister security agencies to ensure that peace and security in the state was sustained.
Danmallam maintained that the command would keep on being proactive in line with the tenets of community oriented policing. The commissioner said that any crime committed must be followed and suspect or suspects must be unmasked.

A middle-aged Woman identified as, Oyebade Funke, has narrated her eerie experience at the den of suspected ritualists in Akure, Ondo state.
The victim was reportedly abducted last Thursday, 27th December, 2018. According to her, she escaped from their den by a divine intervention.
Speaking with Omo Edema Communications, she explained that she went to collect a new ATM Card at the her bank Akure, when she fell into the hand of a commercial motorcyclist who called her by her name and claimed to have once lived in her father’s house a long time ago when she was still a little girl. This made her greet him cheerfully before entering his motorcycle.
She said;
“We left the place, heading towards my destination; a guy just shouted ‘brother’ and began to greet the bike man long time as if it had been long they saw last. The bike man apologized to me as he stopped to greet the guy. He eventually asked where the guy was going to and he mentioned market square area which fell on the same road with where I was going.
“The bike man pleaded with me to allow the guy sit behind my back on the motorcycle since he was not going far. I accepted them without suspecting any evil”, explained the victim.
She said the bike man asked her of address and she mentioned the area and also asked where she was going from the bank. She said as the guy sat at her back and they were moving, she lost her senses immediately.
According to her, she discovered she became weak and the bike man headed for a different direction entirely.
Funke said when it was around 3pm, they came in and began to attend to the captives one after the other. She said they brought in calabashes; one with a cover taped with a red piece of cloth while other calabashes were empty.
“I had concluded that was my end. But when the ritual got to my turn, they placed the calabash on my head and placed an empty one in front of me. I did not vomit blood. They questioned me again that who was behind me, but I could not respond to them.
“I heard them say my head refused to harbour evil. Another person among them said yes if she refused to vomit that would still not stop the parts of her body from being used for some other things. But one among them said they had no buyers of parts of the body for now.”
The victim said while they were saying all these, one of them who was behaving like their head now instructed them to push her out that nothing whatsoever was useful in her. According to her, they other people were very furious at her and said since nothing was useful, they would not make a dual loss. They collected from her the forty thousand Naira cash she had withdrawn from the bank before she was picked.
According to her;
“they blindfolded me again and returned me exactly the way and manner they brought me.”
Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has insulted John Dumelo over a post the actor shared on social media.
Dumelo recently ook to his Instagram to share a post which depicted how married women in the olden days gave out their husbands to their maids.

“Dear lover, I’m going to pretend not to see this…but if you insist, you can have both maids. They are more sophisticated than the ones in the Bible.”

Chelsea manager has said he will continue to use Eden Hazard in a as a striker as the uncertainty over the future of Alvaro Morata grows.
The Spaniard has not been included in his team’s squad for their last four Premier League games, with that streak set to continue against Crystal Palace on Sunday .
Hazard has been deployed as a centre-forward in the absence of a more reliable option, and has scored three times
in those four appearances.
Sarri has been so encouraged by the Belgian’s displays that he feels he is starting to mirror Morata’s best attributes – casting doubt over the Spaniard’s long-term prospects.
The Italian said:
“We need to be balanced on the pitch and be more solid. “In the last matches I prefer this solution (Hazard at forward). For the future everything is open.
“I think that Alvaro is better in the box and better to attack spaces but I have to say Eden is improving as you saw in the last match with the second goal, he attacked very well the space.
“It’s different as Eden is better when he comes to play with the midfielders and opens spaces. He’s another way of playing.
“I want to see the physical condition of the players. We will decide after training. “Alvaro’s potential is to be a very good player. He’s fit, yes.”
Despite an encouraging start to life at Stamford Bridge, the goals and appearances have dried up for Morata who is facing a January exit.
Twenty-two goals have come in 69 outings for Chelsea in 18 months since he joined from Real Madrid, while AC Milan and Barcelona have been linked with ending this misery in west London.

A witness said:
“I came out of my house this morning and saw some boys beating up China and asking her of her boyfriend. I identified some of the boys to be cult boys belonging to the KKs. They told the girl to call her friend. She took her phone, tried to reach her friend but it was not successful. So they told her that if her friend does not come out, they will burn her and just like play, they did it.”

Former wrestler and now American actor, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson surprised his mother Ata Johnson with an astonishing Christmas gift.
The 46-year-old actor shared an emotional video to Instagram which showed his mom in tears when she discovered he bought her a new house as a Christmas gift.
He captioned the emotional video: ‘This one felt good. Surprise! Bought my mom a new home for Christmas.
All our lives growing up we lived in little apartments all across the country. Lived like gypsies on the road from one state to another.
The first home my parents ever lived in was the one I bought for them in 1999.
They divorced about 5yrs later and as with life, stuff happens and things got a little complicated. Since then I always made sure my mom and dad have everything they’ll ever need – houses, cars etc.
But the house this time is a special one and the timing is very meaningful. I told her to treat this card like it’s “Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket” because she gets to choose any home she wants – anywhere she wants.
I always say, if you got a good mama, then you gotta pretty good shot at becoming a decent human being. And somehow, somewhere along the line I became one lucky SOB to be able to make stuff like this happen.
Merry Christmas Ma and WOOOHOOO enjoy your new home. Dwanta ??’

Actor, TV presenter and model, Uti Nwachukwu has mentioned that he is afraid of marriage considering the high rate of divorce among married people nowadays.
The reality TV star who spoke to Joy Marcus in this new interview also spoke on his career, education and other issues.
How did you come into the entertainment industry?
As a Big Brother Africa star, a lot of doors were opened to me. Inasmuch as I didn’t win the BBA 3, it still gave me leverage in the entertainment industry. I have not always had interest in acting because my first love was music; so, I always wanted to be a music star. Acting and hosting events came naturally to me, and I was doing it while in school. As for acting, I used to mimic a lot of people and my friends told me that I should become an actor.
What was your parent’s reaction when you told them about BBA?
I didn’t tell them; I only told my sisters. When I got back from the competition, they were proud of me but they said my dad was shocked. I made them happy though I was evicted the first time. Sadly, when I won the BBA 5, my dad had passed on. It was a difficult year for my mother; so, watching me in the house was the only thing that put a smile on her face.
Who gave you your first opportunity in the entertainment industry?
I was given my first opportunity in acting (movies) by Ini Edo and Moses Inwang but for television series, it was Ruke Amata. For TV presenting, I was given an opportunity by Diamond Group Production on a show called, You and I.
How much were you paid for your first movie?
As far back as 2008, I think I was paid N100,000 which was a huge sum as of that time; especially for someone who was not even popular. I was surprised but I reasoned that it was because of the BBA platform.
If you have the opportunity, would you feature in Yoruba movies?
I am an actor; so, I should be open to playing any role. I can’t speak Yoruba but I can learn. There are actors in other countries that learn new languages for a movie. I used to say I would never do an epic movie but I ended up acting in my first epic movie this year. The movie is titled, Trials of Ma’pe, and the reception was really great.
What is your view on the state of the Nigerian entertainment industry?
I will like to see more government funding in the industry. The government should take the entertainment industry as seriously as they take the oil and gas industry. In advanced climes, entertainment industries get a lot of support from their governments. At this time, we ought to have a movie village (in this country).
What are some of the challenges you face on the job?
I would say time management because sometimes, you have so much to do in so little time. However, I love it because it keeps me going. I have been able to prioritise and learn how to work my way around the time.
Since you love music, do you have the intention of releasing any single or album soon?
For fun and pleasure definitely but (not) to make money from it hopefully. I make alternative music; so, I will feature a couple of artistes that do same such as Simi and Adekunle Gold. Next year, I want to start featuring in more movies. I know I said movies don’t pay a lot but I have many friends who are also producers and they have started booking me for roles.
We hardly see you and Alex Ekubo on red carpets anymore, unlike before when the two of you were inseparable. Did you have a fallout?
Can we move to the next question please? I don’t talk about my personal life in interviews.
Some of your colleagues got married in 2018. When do you intend to settle down?
I don’t know when but when it happens, it happens. With the way people are marrying and getting divorced, one has to think twice before going into it. I have met more unhappy couples than happily married couples in my life. It is really scary because if marriage was such a beautiful thing, why are there many unhappy couples.
If you check statistics, most married people are complaining. However, I will get married by God’s grace. I will not marry out of my own understanding. I don’t want to be a divorcee; so, I am taking my time. I am currently working on my patience and tolerance level. I am learning how to live peacefully because I am used to having things my way.
What were your childhood ambitions?
I am living it right now. I grew up in Ughelli, Delta State, and my parents prevented us from playing with other kids on the streets; so, they stocked the house with movies. This inspired me to become what I watched. The only thing remaining for me to be fulfilled is to cross to Hollywood; then, I will be satisfied.
Which schools did you attend?
I studied Computer Science and Education at the Benson Idahosa University, Benin City. I can actually practise and become a teacher. I finished well with a 3.9 GPA. If I wasn’t an entertainer, I would probably be working in a telecommunications firm.

Veteran Nigerian actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has insisted that Nigeria is now ready for a female president.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Omotola said,
“What else do we need to be as women? You have to agree with me that a lot of women are doing almost better than men now. We all know that women are now in charge of some households and we all know that women are good at organising as well as handling responsibilities. I think Nigeria is ready for a female president.”
Speaking ahead of the 2019 general elections, the actress urged Nigerians to desist from voting for young people without checking their records. She said,
“I am very impressed with the participation of young people in politics today. Years ago, these people were not interested in politics. But I don’t think we should vote for people because they are young, as it will be misleading. We must ensure they are credible by asking questions. I think we should look out for their track records.
“I urge Nigerians not to allow people to intimidate them again. They shouldn’t vote for people because they feel they will win. Instead, vote for someone you believe in even though the person will get only two votes. We cannot continue to choose the lesser evil; we have to desist from that.”
Veteran Nigerian singer Waje has stated that she can regard Omawumi a true friend who has been there for her over the years.
Having witnessed consistent beef between top artistes, it is necessary to find out the secret to the friendship Waje and Omawumi in the midst of industry drama.
Speaking on her friendship with Omawumi, Waje told Sunday Scoop:
“When you meet someone who you shares the same tastes with and reasons alike with you, then you have every reason to be close to the person. We have both been through a lot together and she has proved to be a true friend time and again.
Apart from music, we do a lot of things together and we understand each other so well. She is someone I can call a true friend. I actually have a media company that is into movies, and it is in partnership with her. You will hear more about it as time goes by,”
She went further to talk about musicians who put out songs with uninspiring content.
“People are inspired by different things. You don’t have control over another person’s creative process. Meanwhile, this phenomenon is not peculiar to Nigeria; music is changing all over the world.
However, there will always be people of like minds and when all of you speak in one voice, it is easier to effect change. There are a lot of women that create music that is impactful and drives a certain narrative into the new Nigeria that we are trying to build.”

Nigerian actress, Nkechi Blessing Sunday has said that she didn’t evade arrest because of Seyi Edun her colleague, over a recent altercation they had on social media.
Some days ago, the actress took to her Instagram page to state that actress, Seyi Edun, had attempted to get her arrested.
She stated that when the policemen got to her house, she was already on her way to the airport. However, many people on social media insinuated that Nkechi actually ran away from her house to avoid getting arrested.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Blessing refuted those claims.
She said,
“Why would I run away because of Seyi Edun? (That means) she must be the president of Nigeria. I was actually supposed to travel on the 17th but I had to change my flight ticket to December 21 because of a movie I finished shooting on December 20. Should I have changed my ticket because of Seyi?
I had left my house for the airport about 15 minutes earlier when I got a call from my mum that some police officers were in my house. As unprofessional as they were, they did not even state the main reason they came and who sent them.
First, they said I did business with someone and cheated the person. Later, they said I threatened someone. My mum didn’t buy their story because they looked like kidnappers; so, she asked them to leave her house that I was already on my way to the airport.”
The actress also claimed that she reported Edun to the commissioner of police.
“Of course, I had to start calling those I know too because it felt like a life threatening situation when I heard that policemen came to my house. What if they were kidnappers? However, all that is in the past now because I don’t think I have time for drama. I want to be drama-free (from now).”
On what caused the rift between both of them, Nkechi stated:
“Sincerely, I don’t know who advised her to send police officers to my house without evidence. She claimed I threatened to release her sex tape but she is not even my friend; we are just colleagues. Where on earth could I have got her sex tape from; that is even if she has one in the first place.”
Reacting to speculations that they were fighting over a man, Nkechi said,
“Who gave her a man? She is actually with someone’s husband.”
Responding to the actor, Mr Macaroni, who alleged that the actress had become a nuisance on social media, Nkechi said,
“That one is just a cheap attention seeker and people like that don’t deserve my reply. I don’t know him; so, that settles it. I don’t care about such comments because they fail to realise that if you don’t make noise about yourself, no one will do it for you.”
