Gas Explosion razes 15 shops in Kaduna State

On Saturday, 30th July 2018, a gas explosion burnt down 15 shops on Ibrahim Taiwo Road by Abeokuta street in Kaduna State.

It was gathered that the incident occurred at about 5:40 pm. before residents mobilised to put out the fire before it spread further in the densely populated area.

Most of the shops affected by the gas explosion contained kitchen equipment, gas cylinders and refiling facilities. The residents chased away fire service personnel from the Kaduna State University, who arrived over an hour after the fire started. One of the shop owners, Ifeanyi Eze said the fire started as a result of electrical surge which led to heavy explosion in one of the shops selling gas cylinders.

An eyewitness, Samuel Emma said immediately after the explosion, fire emerged from the shop, adding that the owner was slightly burnt and was rushed to hospital. “We don’t know his situation now, butfrom there, the fire extended to the rest of the shops and only a few items were salvaged. “We thank God no life was lost. We called the fire service but for close to two hours we didn’t see them until one fire service vehicle from Kaduna State University came and was chased away by angry neighbours,”he said.

A resident, Hamza Ado said: “we called the fire fighters but they didn’t come and when we called again we were told that they had no water in their vehicles. It was the youth that fetched water from all available sources to control the blaze.”

Billionaire, Femi Otedola forced to suspend Twitter Account due to impersonators.

Billionaire oil magnate, Femi Otedola has announced that he is suspending his Twitter account until he is verified. He says this is due to attempts to impersonate him on the platform.

Femi Otedola Twitter

He tweeted ;

Good day to the online community. Due to the fraudulent and disingenuous exploitation of my persona on this platform, tweets from me on this account are suspended forthwith until I am verified by Twitter. Thank you. F.Ote$

Femi Otedola Twitter

Ever since the Billionaire announced his presence on social media, twitter users has witnessed tweets from fake accounts who were all claiming to be the real Femi Otedola.

Most recently, a fake account tweeted, commiserating with victims of the Lagos Tanker Explosion Incident, and even went as far as promising cash gifts to families in the name of Femi Otedola. This prompted Femi Otedola to post a press release about the action and his further suspension of tweeting activities.

Woman Shocked After Marrying Okada Rider Who Posed As Military Officer In Lagos (Photo)

A motorcycle rider popularly known as Okada rider, Mr. Uche Godwin, has been arrested for impersonation in Lagos after he posed as a military officer, fooled a young lady, Amaka, impregnated and married her, PM Express has reported.

Amaka was said to have moved into his house as wife but all the while did not know that he was a motorcycle rider as he had lied to her that he was an army officer. But the scam was exposed after Godwin was arrested along Ajao Estate wearing military uniform.

He was accosted by police officers on surveillance who asked for proper identification as he had claimed that he was an army officer. He was unable to provide a means of identification and was taken to the Ajao Police Division. The police then asked him to contact the military authorities to confirm his claims.

Mr. Uche Godwin

At that point, he then confessed that he was not an army officer. He pleaded with them not to tell his wife that he was a fake army officer.

It was gathered that Amaka was invited to the police station and asked what her husband’s job was. She said that he was an army officer and informed the police that he had military uniforms and went to work every morning with his motorcycle.

The following was the conversation between Amaka and Godwin at the police station:

Amaka: Darling! What happened?

Godwin: The police arrested me in the morning when I was going to work

Amaka: What was the offence they said you committed?

Godwin: They said I was wearing a military uniform and claimed to be one.

Amaka: Yes, what was wrong with that? Did you not introduce yourself and show them your ID card as an officer?

Godwin: I did, but they took me to the station for investigation and asked me to contact my Commander.

Amaka: Yes, call your commander and inform him so that they will release you to go to work.

Godwin: I have no Commander that I will call

Amaka: what! Are you not an army officer?

Godwin: Yes, I ride Okada, please forgive me. I will explain everything to you later. Find a way to get me released and if I come out we will sort out the whole thing.

P.M.Express confirmed that at that point Amaka who was heavily pregnant broke down in tears and told the police that Godwin had lied to her that he was an army officer. She got married to him on that premise only to discover at the police station that he was an Okada rider. Amaka left the police station in anger and frustration.

Godwin was charged before Isolo Magistrates court for impersonation and using army uniform to deceive members of the public.

He pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, Mr. Oje Uagbale did not oppose the bail condition. Thus the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Teluwo granted him bail in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum.

He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail condition.The matter was adjourned till 18th July, 2018.

Lagos tanker explosion: My son had premonition of incident – Corn seller

Lagos Tanker

Thursday 28th June 2018 was a normal day heading to the weekend as any Lagosian would look forward to, but the tragic events which took place on that fateful day would change the life of some Lagos residents and indeed Nigerians forever.

A roasted-corn seller simply identified as Mama Favour, described the situation as very horrible and that she had yet to recover from the shock, despite the fact that it happened about two days ago.

“I was at my stand roasting corn and hoping to finish all the fresh corn that I brought from the market on that Thursday morning,” she said.

Mama favour told PUNCH correspondents that the incident had spiritual undertones.

She said her son who was with her on Thursday had the premonition that there was going to be an evil occurrence about ten minutes before the tanker fire explosion.

She said, “My son came with me to the scene on Thursday and he told me that he was feeling strange. He said his body was shaking and that his head was ‘getting bigger”.

“I didn’t even pay attention to it until he said that he felt it was a bad omen. As he was telling me, my eyes were on my corn and the umbrella was obstructing me. Immediately he called out to me saying, ‘Mummy, see’, in an attempt to look up, the next thing I heard was the sound of the explosion. I lost my sanity immediately and we started running.

“I ran from this Otedola Bridge to the Lagos State Secretariat before we stopped. I forgot totally about my corn and even lost my phone in the process.”

“I’m not bothered about hate comments on my photo” –Lolo

Over the weekend, Lolo 1, popular Wazobia FM OAP and Actress was blasted by critics after she shared a picture of herself rocking a sexy outfit.

Most people felt her clothes were too appealing for a woman who has had 4 children.

According to her top commenters, she stepped out as if she was desperate to hijack the men of other women.

However, in a chat with Sunday Scoop, Lolo maintained that she wasn’t bothered about the comments.

Speaking through her manager, Godwin Omadibi, she said ;

“The truth is that she is not bothered about the comments that trailed the picture. For the people that tried to body-shame her, good luck to them. She just finished shooting her Yoruba movie. And she has also been working on some English movies. There is a lot of work to be done; so, she is not bothered about hateful comments because a lot of people also admired her. She has already shared her thoughts on Instagram and she wouldn’t speak about it again.”

Keira Hewatch says she gets insulted for looking like Mercy Johnson

Nollywood actress, Keira Hewatch has revealed in an interview with Sunday Punch how her resemblance with Mercy Johnson has brought her blessings but also exposed her to derogatory comments from people.

Read the excerpts of the interview below:

Initially, I didn’t enjoy the support of my parents because they are religious people and they believed that the industry was corrupt and immoral.

They felt it was not a place for a Christian lady to be in. I understood their point of view but I had to do what I had always wanted to do.

I respect and love my parents but I also have to take charge of my life. Eventually, they came to see that and they have been very supportive of my career.

While speaking on her moment of breakthrough in the Industry, Keira Hewatch said:

I became well-known after I featured in the movie, Two Brides and a Baby, but I have done a few films that have gone straight to online television. Other movies I have starred in include In the Name of Trust, Murder at Prime Suites, Dinner, Lekki Housewives and Fifty, among others.

How her resemblance with Mercy Johnson has helped her career:

I used to get insulted for looking like Mercy Johnson. The last time I got insulted was when I starred in the movie, Two Brides and a Baby.

Since that time, I have not experienced such. Back then, it made me sad because I was being insulted based on something I did not understand.

Mercy Johnson is a beautiful woman and for anyone to compare us is really something to be thankful for.

Sade Adu’s transgender son shows off his chest after removing ‘her’ boobs

Sade Adu’s Transgender son, who apparently, was a female before and decided he prefers the masculine gender, has shown off his ‘chest’ after his breast removal surgery.

Writing on his Instagram few months back, the only known child of the Nigerian-British singer revealed that he underwent surgery recently, and is now able to wear the male designer shirts he had previously left hanging in his wardrobe.

“So many tops I can wear now that I couldn’t before my surgery so happs!! Plus copped this piece,” he said in the post, posing in a Raph Lauren shirt.

This interesting update comes after he revealed that he already lost his previous feminine voice. Ila, who seemingly now goes by the name ‘Izaak Theo’, shared a video of his remarkable development since he started taking testosterone injections.

And that’s not all: he already has grown facial hair, and now topped with the male physique, one can hardly guess he was ever a female.

Actress Bose Alao speaks on her 10-year marriage, says they were both violent towards each other

Nollywood Actress, Bose Alao had called out her footballer husband over domestic violence, but has since apologized.

She has now revealed that they were both violent towards each other during the course of their marriage.

In a recent chat with Punchng, Bose maintained that her marriage was intact. “I want to take my family off social media because it is not helping me.

My husband is not someone who addresses issues on the Internet; it seems like I’m the only one talking. It is true that we had issues’ she said

‘On that particular day, which was our 10th year wedding anniversary, we had a fight and he smashed my phone and I was very angry.

It wasn’t even the fight we had that angered me; it was the fact that he destroyed my phone.

‘Because of that, I poured out my anger on my WhatsApp status, where he would see it.

‘I didn’t want it to be public knowledge, initially, but a journalist on my contact list screen-grabbed my updates and posted them online’ she added.

Bose Alao also said they are both undergoing therapy at the moment, ‘that type of news actually affects my husband’s career. To be honest with you, I and my husband are violent towards each other and we’re trying to get help.

Whenever he hits me, I retaliate but everybody knows that he can beat me.Every marriage has issues but we often expect too much from our partners.

There was a time my pastor even told me that I should put water in my mouth whenever I am angry but it didn’t work and I spat out the water when we were fighting.

We are both undergoing therapy right now. Now, I am very quiet; even when my husband is upset, I keep calm. I thank God that there is peace in our marriage now and I pray there wouldn’t be any incidence of domestic violence again’.

‘When you beat a woman, she develops unbridled hatred for you. I believe a woman has the power to mould her husband into whatever shape she wants; anybody can change.

‘When we came back together, we were both sorry and are both looking for ways to coexist peacefully because of our children. All our offspring are girls and a lot of men don’t want to marry women from broken homes.”

Tekno paid Danfo Drivers 2 million for ‘jogodo’ but ignored me — Professor Linkin cries out

Tekno paid Danfo Drivers 2 million

While speaking in an exclusive interview with PUNCH Saturday Beats, veteran musician, Professor Linkin, came out fully for Pana crooner, Tekno for failing to acknowledge him as the original owner of the song, “Kpolongo”, which he sampled the hit song in his single, “Jogodo”.

According to Professor Linkin who laid his mind bare, Tekno settled Danfo Drivers with N2 million but ignored him.

Recall that in the song, Tekno also sampled some lines from a song originally done by a music duo from Ajegunle named Danfo Drivers. When the music duo raised dust over the use of their material, Tekno settled with them in private and is even set to drop a new single with them soon.

However, all of that didn’t sit well with Professor Linkin who felt Tekno ought to have contacted him too just as he did with the Danfo Drivers.

Tekno paid Danfo Drivers 2 million

In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, Prof. Linkin said his issue with Tekno is far from being over till the artiste also acknowledges him as the originator of the word, Jogodo, which was the name of his album in 2003.

He told Saturday Beats that he heard rumours that the Danfo Drivers were placated with N2m for the song when they raised dust. He said, “I am the owner of that song ‘Jogodo’ and I hold the copyright to the name, ‘Jogodo’. Tekno did not inform me before he released the song and the funniest part is that after he made the song and Danfo Drivers complained, he went to meet them to apologise but ignored me. In fact, it was not until Danfo Drivers began to grant interviews to the press stating that Tekno did not inform them before releasing the song that he reached out to them after an event.

“Danfo Drivers are my friends and immediately the news broke that they had made peace with Tekno, I called them and asked why they did not tell him that I am the originator of ‘Jogodo’ but they gave me some excuses and claimed that the singer did not give them anything. I am not dead, so why would someone want to take something I worked hard to get. I am the originator of ‘Jogodo’ in the whole world. I am the only one that can tell people the real meaning of the word ‘Jogodo’. I heard rumours that Teckno paid Danfo Drivers N2m. As my friends, I asked them if it was true and they denied it. When I called to ask them, they said that he did not give them anything than apology. They claimed that they sat down, had some drinks, chatted and took pictures. If they are lying, God is watching them because I cannot read their mind,” the singer said.

Prof. Linkin further said that because they are colleagues, he would not take the case to court but he advised the singer to reach out to him and make amends.

Tekno paid Danfo Drivers 2 million

He mentioned his own terms and condition on the matter. “I am the originator of ‘Jogodo’. Before I sang the song, ‘Jogodo’, no one ever used the slang. It was due to the commercial success of my song that the word ‘Jogodo’ became a slang. I just want Tekno to be remorseful and admit that he made a mistake. We are all human beings. I think he or his management is feeling pompous and I do not know why. Probably Danfo Drivers told them that they own ‘Jogodo’, I just don’t know.

“I would not drag him to court but I would still monitor the situation before I take a final decision. I know dragging him to court is the right thing to do because what he did is illegal but I would wait and watch to see if he would reach out to me. All I need from him is to give me money or we should do a remix of that song together for the world to know that I am the originator of the song. Now, he is making millions with the song but I have not made a dime over my intellectual property because he is acting as if he is the originator of the song. Most of the songs these boys are singing emanated from Ajegunle but they would refine them and make them seem like their own. It is very bad and so painful,” he said.

“I know I will not make heaven” – Pastor accused of rape, murder of prostitute

Moses Mercy, an alleged prostitute based in Ozuri, Kogi State, was said to have been raped by a pastor and three of his church members to death and her body parts suspected to have been used for money ritual.

Principal suspect, Pastor Segun Otaru, and three alleged accomplices, Abdulmumini Yakubu, Samuel Segun and Mike Stephen (at large) of the Voice of Canaan Church, C and S, Ozuri in Adavi local government area of Kogi State, were among ten persons accused of armed robbery, kidnapping and other vices in Kogi State.

The pastor and suspected accomplices were alleged to have raped the victim to death, removed her hands, legs as well as the head and buried her body in the church.

Two of the suspects, Mike Stephen and Abdulmumuni Yakubu, after allegedly killing Mercy, had sex again with the dead body before cutting the hands, legs and head which they roasted, mixed with a lotion for Otaru to drink and rub on his body in order to get rich.

Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP William Aya, confirmed the story, saying the pastor, through a hotel attendant (name withheld) in Ozuri, had lured the alleged sex workers, an indigene of Benue State, from a hotel to his house where they carried out the act.

Three days after, and Mercy had yet to return to the hotel, the attendant became apprehensive and called them, only to be frustrated by their response.

The attendant, apparently disturbed by the situation, reported to the police in Adavi.

But sensing that the police in Adavi were foot dragging, he took the matter to the police headquarters in Lokoja who swung into action and arrested the three suspects, with one still at large.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that the victim hardly engaged in ‘home service’ but a decline in patronage for a longer time following the adverse economic situation in the country changed her position.

She honoured the invitation only to meet her untimely death. The pastor and suspected accomplices confessed to the crime which they blamed on poverty.

Otaru told Sunday Vanguard that they got tired of their low life and decided to help themselves to the ritual suggestion brought by one of them who said he learned it while staying in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

On the idea of having sex with Mercy’s body, Yakubu, who said they believed sleeping with a dead lady will save them from vehicular accident, said the sex act felt the same with a live woman. The police said they had launched a manhunt for the fourth suspect, Mike Stephen.

Otaru claimed the Mercy case was the third time he would engage in money ritual as the two previous attempts failed. According to the 45-year-old, he exhumed corpses from a cemetery in the two failed attempts and cut the needed parts for the ritual but money did not come.

He said he expected to make at least N2.5 million from the latest attempt which led to the murder of Mercy. The principal suspect explained that he connived with the three suspects, who he described as members of his church, to commit the crime.

Otaru said it was the quest to get rich quick that made him to venture into money ritual as he could not wait for God’s time to be rich.

The pastor, however, said he knew that what he did was against the preaching in christianity and the Word of God and he would not enter the Kingdom of God.

The disappearance of Mercy from the hotel where she used to ply her trade, for more than three days, had raised the suspicion of a hotel attendant.

Two of the suspects, Oluwasegun Samuel and Abdulmumini Yakubu, had gone to the hotel in Adavi to pick the deceased and took her away. Unfortunately for the suspects, they left their telephone numbers with the hotel attendant through which they were contacted when the lady did not return.

The PPRO said the two suspects were first arrested and that, after interrogation by the homicide detectives of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), confessed to the gory details of how they were allegedly hired by the principal suspect (pastor) to get a lady for money ritual with a promise to pay them N700, 000.

The arrested suspects thereafter led the police to Uhodo, also in Adavi council area, where the remains of Mercy were buried in a shallow grave and it was discovered that vital organs and head of the victim had been removed.

Bukky Wright reveals why she is hiding her lover from Social Media

Bukky Wright reveals

In a recent interview, the Nollywood actress, advised other celebrities to be careful on the personal information they post on social media.

Her reasons? Such information, she explained, could be so sensitive to the extent of causing a blockage in their career later in life.

Citing her case as an example, the pretty mother of two said, “I am a perfect example of one out of many celebrities who never post private life affairs on social media.

“I’m very careful about what I post on social media. I post what is needed to be posted and not frivolities. I don’t have to post, especially, if it has to do with my private life.” It’s my private life and I believe my private life should remain private.”

The actress said many celebrities still go ahead to wash their dirty linens in the public, especially, on social media platform.

“I try not to share many things, because one thing about too much information is that when it gets back at you, not everybody wants to know why you shared it.

“I will rather not put very sensitive things out there just to avoid mishaps,” Wright said.
Having done a good job in hiding her current lover from the media, Bukky Wright said, “There’s nothing wrong with you being in love with the right person. Love is a beautiful thing.”

Real reasons Faithia Balogun and Dayo Amusa fell apart

Fathia Balogun & Dayo Amusa

Fathia Balogun & Dayo Amusa had always been good friends and generated envy among fellow actresses.

They were always at outings together, an item wherever they went.

49-year-old Faithia has always been friends with younger people in the industry.

Dayo Amusa, who would always flaunt Faithia’s kids on her page, calls her Adunni, while Fathia calls her Aduke.

Surprisingly, things must have fallen apart between these two friends who have a large fan base.

Recently, Faithia put up a post on friendship and why people should avoid fake friends.

“No matter what you do, people will not be satisfied, the ones you call your friends are the ones who will laugh behind your back and stab you.

“Be careful of this kind of friends,” she inserted an inscription on her IG handle.

She also wrote:

“Friendship is beautiful but when it is not getting the right things done neither is it moving you forward it’s time to check things out.

“Have a beautiful day my people! I love you all.” ❤❤❤?

As if waiting for her to write this, Dayo Amusa was at the comment section and wrote: “Practice what you preach.”

This triggered reactions from their fans who took over the comment section.

While some supported Dayo, many condemned her action citing example of her post recently when Wunmi Toriola, a Nollywood actress, lambasted Toyin Abraham.

Dayo, then, had written on the insubordination in the industry and why upcoming artistes should be placed on check.

Sources close to the actresses (Faithia and Dayo)revealed that there is a misunderstanding on their personal relationships with some certain men.

“They are women and they all roll together in the social circles. Though none has talked about it to colleagues, its obvious it has to do with intimate relationship they are having with men. Very soon, everything will be unveiled,” the source said.

“I and my husband are violent towards each other but we’re trying to get help” — Actress, Bode Alao

Sometime ago, actress Bose Omotoyossi announced that her 10-year-old marriage to footballer, Rasaq, had hit the rocks.

She had written at the time that her husband often battered her and she wasn’t ready to endure the violence anymore. This was days after the couple celebrated their wedding anniversary.

However, in an exclusive chat with Sunday Scoop, Bose maintained that her marriage was intact. She said, “I want to take my family off social media because it is not helping me. My husband is not someone who addresses issues on the Internet; it seems like I’m the only one talking. It is true that we had issues. On that particular day, which was our 10th year wedding anniversary, we had a fight and he smashed my phone and I was very angry. It wasn’t even the fight we had that angered me; it was the fact that he destroyed my phone.”

“Because of that, I poured out my anger on my WhatsApp status, where he would see it as we do not follow each other on Instagram and other social media. After that incident, I went with my kids to a nearby hotel because I wanted him to feel the pain I felt. I didn’t want it to be public knowledge initially but a journalist on my contact list screen-grabbed my updates and posted them online. That type of news actually affects my husband’s career. To be honest with you, I and my husband are violent towards each other and we’re trying to get help. Whenever he hits me, I retaliate but everybody knows that he can beat me.”

“I had to contact Star Helpline, which is an international organisation, and we are undergoing therapy right now. This is actually our second week in therapy. Every marriage has issues but we often expect too much from our partners. There was a time my pastor even told me that I should put water in my mouth whenever I am angry but it didn’t work and I spat out the water when we were fighting.”

Explaining her reasons for staying in the marriage, she said, “I am not staying in a violent marriage because of my children; they were actually the reason I wanted to leave. However, one also has to consider the kids. The best I can do is to make sure that they’re in good psychological state. The performance of my kids in school actually dropped during that period. We actually went our separate ways for some time so that frayed nerves could be calmed. When we came back together, we were both sorry and are both looking for ways to coexist peacefully because of our children. All our offspring are girls and a lot of men don’t want to marry women from broken homes.”

On the lessons she has learnt from the episode, Omotoyossi said, “I have learnt to keep my personal life away from social media. Now, I am very quiet; even when my husband is upset, I keep calm. I thank God that there is peace in our marriage now and I pray there wouldn’t be any incidence of domestic violence again. When you beat a woman, she develops unbridled hatred for you. I believe a woman has the power to mould her husband into whatever shape she wants; anybody can change.”

Argentina crashes out of World Cup as France defeat them, 4-3.

Argentina crashes

The ‘almighty’ Argentina that painfully crashed the super Eagles out of the world cup have also met their doom after France defeated them moments ago, 4-3.

France had taken the lead in the first half when they were awarded a penalty and Antoine Griezmann made sure to put the ball at the back of the neck.

In the same first half, Argentina equalized the game when Di Maria scored few minutes to the end of the first half.

The second half got quite challenging as Argentina took the lead but France had a comeback minutes later and then Kylian Mbappe added two more goals to make the scoreline, 4 – 2.

Argentina tried her best at injury time when Sergio Aguero scored another goal but unfortunately for the South Americans, this is where their Journey of the FIFA World cup ends.

10 students in JSS1 and JSS3, aged 14 and 15 years old have been arrested by the anti-cultism squad of Enugu State Police Command, for belong to the Viron Queens or White Angels confraternities, Sun reports.

Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Danmallam, revealed that the operation was carried out after the Command received a tip-off that students of several Enugu secondary schools.

According to Danmallam, the Command received a 30-name list of JSS students who were allegedly raped and initiated into cult groups.

The trio of Edeh, Peace and Nwoke told Saturday Sun they were introduced to the cult by a friend and at their initiation in 2017, were raped each by 5 different boys.

Another victim, Adaeze, claimed “We didn’t know they put drugs in the drinks they gave us. From there, we were initiated and raped by six boys.” Olisakure also added: “We were threatened not to tell anybody.

The irony is that at the closing hour of the school, three of the same boys who initiated us would come with bike and take us away to have sex with us. After that, they give us N1,500, as transport fare.”

Chisom, also raped by five boys, said the incident took place at a friend’s party in a hotel. She further alleged, “Some of our teachers know that we are members of Viron Queen Confraternity.

We don’t respect our male and female teachers. Some of them used the advantage to sleep with us because we don’t want them to tell our parents.” Some of them also confessed to indulging in cigarette smoking and drinking beer at parties or clubs.

The Commissioner of Police, Danmallam, said the police are still investigating the case. The next phase of action, he added, is detectives going after those who raped and initiated the girls.
