The Police in Abia State have arrested six suspected homosexuals who were caught kissing and caressing at the City Global Hotel in Aba, the state capital.
Parading the suspected homosexuals before newsmen, the state police commissioner, Anthony Ogbizi, said the hotel manager had alerted the police after two of the homosexuals were found kissing and caressing themselves by the hotel bar. A search in a room where one of them checked in, showed that there were several others in the room caressing and kissing themselves.
According to the police report, the suspects were interrogated and it was discovered that they were members of a gang who came into Abia from nearby states to practise the unnatural act in the hotel room.
The suspects, however, denied committing the crime, saying that they were in Aba for the birthday party of one of their friends, Ndubuisi, adding that their families were not aware that they were arrested.
One of them, Chidera, who is an Imo State University undergraduate, said they were all in one room because they were told that the category of room they asked for was not available.
“I arrived the hotel at about 6pm and I asked my friend to book for a room for me. The hotel management said we should pay N5,000 for a room and we could afford it. So, we decided to manage that one room. After drinking at the hotel bar, we went to the room to change our clothes. It was at that time that we heard a knock on the door and when we opened the door, the manager started asking why we were six in the room. After explaining to him, he said they don’t allow more that three persons in a room and that was how he accused us of practising homosexuality in the room. There was nothing like kissing or making love in the room and we are not gays.”
Nigerians are renowned for their creativity when it comes to using photoshop and a photo of American Rapper, Cardi B has been edited to present her as an African Woman
The perfectly photoshopped picture of Cardi B looks like a real African woman wearing her native attire.
The picture has been gaining traction on social media with commenters applauding the brain behind it.
The attention of the beautiful American rapper and actor is presently being drawn to the picture by some of her Nigerian fans.
Cardi B’s real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar (born October 11, 1992), and she was born and raised in The Bronx, New York City, she first attracted attention for discussing her career as a stripper on social media; coupled with her “no filter attitude”.
She became an Internet celebrity through Instagram. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular cast member on the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York, and released two mixtapes – Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
The Federal Government has denied a UN report which alleged that it paid ransom for the release of the Dapchi girls.
Over 100 girls were kidnapped from the Dapchi school by a Boko Haram faction in February this year with about 105 of them later released by the terrorists. One of them, Leah Sharibu, who refused to denounce her Christian faith, is still with the abductors.
The UN in a report recently released and submitted to the UN Security Council on Boko Haram and related terrorist organisations, accused the Federal government of paying money for the government.
The report said such ransom was providing oxygen for the insurgency around the Lake Chad region. The UN report is titled “22nd Report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team”, related to Resolution 2368 (2017) regarding “Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant – ISIL – (Da’esh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities.”
“In Nigeria, 111 schoolgirls from the town of Dapchi were kidnapped on 18 February 2018 and released by ISWAP on 21 March 2018 in exchange for a large ransom payment,” the report stated.
However reacting to the allegation, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, in a statement released yesterday, challenged anyone who has any evidence of payment to publish such.
”It is not enough to say that Nigeria paid a ransom, little or huge. There must be a conclusive evidence to support such claim. Without that, the claim remains what it is: a mere conjecture,”
Federal Government did not pay any money to free the Dapchi girls. Anyone with any evidence of payment should publish such, Information Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed says.
Nathalie Emmanuel, has revealed a slice of what GOT fans should expected in the next season of the HBO hit series, Game of Thrones.
Nathalie had a chat with Hindustan, and she said in quote, “I think what we can expect from the last season of GoT is just a real push,” she told the publication. “As in the last few seasons, we’ve seen the pace of the show rising with ever-increasing bets, there are so many storylines that need to be shut down, and we have to finish them, so the pace of the show goes on with that feeling,” she said.
She further added, “There are so many characters and stories who have not found their conclusion, so this season will be incredibly satisfying for people, it will be incredibly exciting and heartbreaking.” I feel that people will have their thoughts blown when they view the last one.”
Instagram influencer and sister to Billionaire Blogger, Linda, Laura Ikeji has revealed that she’s splashed over one million naira on a designer handbag.

“I have a few designer bags, but never bought any with my money, Its either from my sister or hubby, but today, I decided to gift myself with this beautiful lady Dior bag. Spending this ridiculous amount on a bag is a sin I know, but…. No buts I think I deserve the gift, I did this with my husband’s permission. #overamillionabag #instagramqueen #christiandiorbag”

He wrote: “To whoever tampered with my insta account. Wereva it came from. Good or bad place. Success and happiness in life has no correlation with social media following. So pls ehn. Bt to the people who took out time and resources to be validating such. May God provide jobs for you ??.”

A 28-year-old man has been arrested by police operatives in Ogun state over the death of a 40-year-old married woman after they allegedly had sex.
According to Ogun Police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect was taken into custody on Wednesday following a complaint by an hospital.
“Men of Ogun State Police Command have on Wednesday the 15th of August arrested one Kelvin Micheal ‘m’ 28yrs old over the death of a 40yrs old woman Monsurat Idowu ‘f’ after a marathon sex’,” Mr Oyeyemi said.
He said the suspect who took the deceased to State Hospital, Ota, could not explain the circumstance of her death.
“The arrest of the suspect was as a result of complaint by one Benjamin Okereke of the State hospital Ota who reported that the suspect brought the deceased to the hospital dead, and since he cannot explain the circumstance that surrounded the death of the deceased, he decided to notify the Police,” he said.
Mr Oyeyemi said upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer of Onipanu Division, Sangobiyi Johnson, led his officers to the hospital where the man was promptly arrested.
“On interrogation, the suspect claimed to have met the deceased last month in a bus at Ketu, Lagos where they exchanged phone numbers, consequent upon which he invited her to the house of his friend in Ota where the deceased suddenly slumped and died shortly after they finished having sexual intercourse.”
He said the husband of the deceased, Idowu Lamidi, a commercial driver who was quickly contacted, told the police that he left his wife in the house hale and hearty while going out for work, wondering what led to her untimely death.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the transfer of the case to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for investigation; while the corpse has been deposited at the mortuary for post mortem examination.

Wizkid
“I have nothing personal against Wizkid & BankyW, in fact I can say I groove to both their music, but the fact is that they stole my song in 2011 and there’s clear evidence to prove it.

A South African man has been arraigned before the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate’s court on Tuesday, August 14, for allegedly raping his neighbor’s pregnant goat.
According to information gathered, the suspect, 33, would remain in custody until his next court appearance at a date to be determined later.
The suspect was arrested on charges of bestiality on Friday morning after he allegedly raped the female goat the previous evening.
His neighbour, and owner of the goat, Knowledge Khumalo said he heard the goat making strange noises around 20:00 on the evening in question.
When he woke up the next morning, he went to check in on the kraal and found the goat was missing.
“I went around the community looking for the goat without any success,” said Khumalo. “Later when I returned home, I found the goat was back. However, it looked unwell.”
As he was examining the goat, a man approached Khumalo and asked whether he was the goat’s owner.
“He then told me that he had been at the suspect’s shack that morning and had found the goat in his bed,” said Khumalo.
Community members, including CPF members, later converged at the suspect’s shack where they confronted him.
The man is said to be bricklayer by profession and was reportedly paid R4 500 earlier on the day of the alleged rape for work.
“He must have drank a lot,” said Khumalo.
Khumalo said he was shattered to see the raped goat in such a sad state.
“I felt I should have done something to protect the goat,” he said.
The goat has been taken in by the SPCA for medical treatment.
SPCA inspector Mishack Matlou said the incident was the “highest form of animal cruelty he has experienced”.
“As the SPCA, we want to call on the judiciary to take tough action against cases of cruelty against animals”
