Six killed, Baptist church burnt in fresh Plateau attack

fresh Plateau attack

Six persons were in the early hours of Sunday reportedly killed in an early morning attack on Rahwol-Fwi village, a community in Fan District area of Plateau State.

According to reports from Daily Post, the fresh attack underscored the inability of the security forces to restrain the wanton killing of citizens.

An eyewitness said the fresh attack lasted for almost an hour before the intervention of the military.

It was gathered that a Baptist Church, its pastorium, Government Hospital and 17 houses were burnt during the attack.

Confirming the attack, the spokesman of the military Special Task Force (STF), Major Umar Adams, said only four persons died, adding that more personnel had been deployed in the community.

Adams told ThisDay that four persons had been arrested in connection with the attack, adding that the military high command had ordered the STF to relocate its headquarters from Jos to the troubled local council.

The attackers reportedly swooped on the village in motorcycles at about 2:45 a.m. while the victims were asleep and wreaked havoc, escaping before the arrival of security operatives.

The spokesman of Berom Youth Moulders (BYM), Solomon Mwantiyi, who condemned the attack, said Jol community of Riyom Local Government Area also came under heavy attacks the same night leading to destruction of farmlands.

Governor Simon Lalong had imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on the three councils ravaged by gunmen two weeks ago, leaving behind over 100 deaths and scores of property burnt.

2019 election: INEC speaks on ‘online sale of PVC’

INEC speaks

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday said it received reports of attempts to clone Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) and sell them online.

Nigerians on social media had over the weekend raised alarm after Permanent voters’ cards, PVCs, branded with the Nigerian colour and logo was listed for sale on Chinese e-commerce giant, Alibaba.

However, in a swift reaction, the commission in a statement by Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze Uzzi, said ‘the clone and sale of the cards were anticipated and measures have been taken to preserve and further secure electoral materials.”

Osaze-Uzzi added that “Several security features and secret source codes are contained in the Smart Card Readers, which enable them to read only PVCs duly issued by the Commission.

The advertisement shows photographs of blank cards, which have not been personalised and which do not contain any details.”

The Statement further said, “This notwithstanding, the Commission wishes to state that it takes these reports seriously and will engage the government and security agencies as well as the promoters of the platform in order to get to the root of it and take all necessary action to take down the advertisement forthwith.

“In addition to the existing features, the Commission is already working to further secure the PVCs and the Smart Card Readers and will continue to protect them from unauthorized and malicious access.

“It is for this reason that, beginning from next week, we are commencing the systematic hardware and software upgrade of all the Smart Card Readers nationwide.

“It is worthy of note that this enhancement had already been successfully done in Ekiti and Osun, preparatory to the upcoming Governorship elections in both States.

2010 Champions, Spain are out of the World Cup, allowing Russia to advance to the quarter-finals. La Roja paid for their lack of clinical edge in the final third as the host nation’s resilience at the back saw them through to the lottery of penalties.

Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick has apologized to President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigerians for the Super Eagles group stage exit from the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The Eagles crashed out of the Mundial at the group stages after going down 2-1 to Argentina in a winner-takes-all game in St Petersburg last Tuesday.

Writing on the Federation’s website, Pinnick issued an apology for the turn of events and reiterated that the Super Eagles will come back stronger for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

“We apologize to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari and all Nigerians from far and near, those who came to Russia to support the team and those who watched on television. Our expectation was for a place in the knockout rounds, but that didn’t happen.

“We will go home and prepare harder for the next finals. In truth, ours is a young and vibrant team capable of learning and getting better, and these attributes hold that the future is bright,” he said.

Meanwhile, the World football governing body, FIFA, will pay the Super Eagles of Nigeria and other nations that crashed out from the group stages of the 2018 World Cup tournament £6.1m each.

50 Cent sues Hip-Hop Magazine over Instagram photo

50 Cent sues

50Cent has sued an Hip-Hop Magazine, HipHopDX for saying he was lying about a business deal he claimed to have secured, and for publishing his photo without proper authorization.

The drama started when 50 Cent announced that Bellator MMA executives purchased his “Get the Strap” catchphrase for $1 million, that the company intended to use the slogan on upcoming merch.

Shortly after the news surfaced, HipHopDX published their own story, alongside a photo from the deal-signing taken by photographer Christopher Conrad, with a headline that said: “50 Cent Didn’t Sell “Get The Strap” To Bellator MMA For $1M.”

The hip-hop site cited a source who said 50’s claims were not accurate. “A Bellator spokesman told HipHopDX that 50’s post “isn’t true.”

However, he did confirm the G-Unit boss met with the mixed martial arts promotion’s executives, as well as representatives from Bellator’s parent company Viacom,” HipHopDX said in their post.

This got 50 Cent upset, because from the legal documents obtained by The Blast, he said he has the rights to the photo which shows him standing alongside Bellator MMA executives, that he did not give HipHopDX the permission to publish the photo, plus he accused the website of sharing “fake news.”

He then threatened to sue the reporter and the outlet for displaying the copyrighted photo without his consent.

“This shit is fake news Justin lvey, you better go fact check,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Matter of fact I’m gonna sue you and this website for using my picture in the morning. get the strap.”

The Blast adds 50 is seeking at least $150,000 in damages.

See the photo that started all the messy drama:

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.”

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.”

OAP LOLO

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.”
