He said:

“Some inmates escaped from Ikot Ekpene prison on Dec. 27, at about 12.45 p.m.; To ascertain the total number of those that escaped we have to do headcount.

“We discovered that 47 inmates had escaped from the custody. Immediately, search party swung into action and 14 were recaptured”.

The controller added that four of those who escaped died from bullet wounds when they tried to overpower prisons officers on duty, while some of the prisons officials, who sustained different degrees of injuries, were receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.

He assured that prison officials and other security agencies were working extra hard to recapture the remaining inmates.

A man was so elated after discovering that his best friend of 60 years is actually his brother. Alan Robinson and Walter MacFarlane have known each other since they attended the same primary school in Hawaii.

Mr MacFarlane, 74, never met his father, while Mr Robinson, 72, was adopted and never knew either of his birth parents.

Now, they are “overwhelmed” to learn they have the same birth mother.The pair separately took DNA tests to find out about their ancestry. Mr MacFarlane used a DNA-matching website and found a top match – someone with identical X chromosomes, with the username Robi737.

Mr Robinson, a former pilot for Aloha Airlines, had used the same website. The half-brothers have now reveal the news to theri friends and family.

Mr Robinson said: “This is the best Christmas present I could ever imagine having.” “I had a younger brother that I lost when he was 19, so I never had nieces or nephews. “I thought I’ll never know my birth mother, I’ll never have any nieces or nephews.”

Mr Macfarlane was born in 1943 in Honolulu.

His mother, Genevieve, was planning to give him up for adoption, but her parents found out and decided informally adopt their grandson.

Fifteen months later, Mr Robinson was born in the same town and was immediately given up for adoption, so he never knew his birth parents.

The men met when just at primary school and became great friends.

hey later sent their children to the same schools they attended and holidayed together as families.

A very young and beautiful South African Lady was burnt to death by her boyfriend on boxing day, after she requested for an end to their relationship.

The beautiful lady has since been identified as Irene Khutletland from Krugersdorp, while her boyfriend has been identified as Thapelo Bosture Dioke.

Friends of the deceased took to social media to mourn her while calling for her killer to be made to face the law.

A GWERU man left Chiredzi people shocked when he was caught having sex with another woman during his wife’s funeral service.

Circumstances are that the accused Luscious Chiturumani stayed in Gweru with his wife Sibongile Mthetwa who allegedly died after a short illness.

Since Chiturumani had not fully paid the bride price, it was then decided that the deceased be buried in Chiredzi, her parents’ rural community.

On arrival the deceased’s husband was accompanied by a woman whom he claimed to be his sister and he was accorded full respect as a son-in-law of the family.

The two were then given a courtesy room for them to rest as a family and they then retired to bed earlier than other people as visitors. More people were expected to join them in the room but none did and they took advantage of the situation and woke up to some early morning sex.

Claims are that just before 6am someone smoking outside leaning on the window heard some funny sounds emanating from the room which the two were resting in.

The unidentified man then decided to call others to see what was happening inside.

Unfortunately the doors had no locks and the two were found busy having sex.

A close relative of the deceased identified as Grace Mtethwa confirmed the incident saying that Chiturumani had brought disgrace to their family as the case will remain the talk of town.

“It is very much disgusting what my uncle has done. Humbwa chaiwo.

“He has proven to be a dog and lacking any sense of morality. How can someone come all the way from Gweru to have sex here aaah? I had never seen anything like such in my entire life.

“Apa haana kumbopedza kubhadhara roora racho but he found the courage to bring a prostitute saying it was his sister.
Mthetwa added;
“We gave them a room to sleep in at around 9pm.

“You know at a funeral very few people retire to bed and if they do so it will be around 1am vatoneta nekuimba so I guess that is the advantage which the so called brother and sister took because no one joined them in their room.

“At around 5am a certain man came to a place where my aunts and I were sitting saying we should visit the room where he heard some sounds assuming there was a problem.

Mob justice is said to have followed for disrespecting the dead, the in-laws and again for deceiving people that the lady was his sister and agreeing to share a room with her.

The two were force-marched out of the room and Chiturumani was being slapped and kicked as he made the short walk to a car that was waiting for him in the yard.

Chiturumani’s phone has been off up to the time of going to print.

A 14-year-old girl raped and impregnated by a 70-year-old ex-soldier, Mr. Shuaibu Ahmed, has revealed that he gave her N100 the first time he raped her, but that she continued to allow the old man sleep with her because he threatened to kill her.

According to Vanguardngr, Ahmed and the victim are neighbours at Ago Tapa area of Ibadan, Oyo State. According to information gathered, the man is said to have taken advantage of many other under-aged girls in the neighbourhood.

The unsuspecting father of the girl was told by a neighbour that his daughter was carrying a five-month-old pregnancy.

Speaking with Vanguard, the girl said:

“Sometime last year, my sister sent me to Papa Soldier’s house to collect some compact discs for her.

He removed my clothes, underwear and forced himself on me. I tried to shout, but he blocked my mouth and threatened to kill me. After he was through, I saw some whitish substance on me.

It was then he told me he had deflowered me and that I should not tell anybody about it. Since then he has been having sex with me and each time he would warn me and even threaten to kill me.

At times, he will give me N100 or N200. The day he deflowered me, he gave me N100. I was not enticed by money; it was his constant threats that frightened me. I could not tell anyone because I didn’t want to die.

I just finished JSS 1. I had not started menstruation when he first forced me. It was after that encounter I started seeing my period.”

It was learned that the father has reported the case at Mokola Police Station and the suspect will be transferred to the State CID for proper investigation.

The father of the girl said all he wants is justice, as he noted that he could not bear the trauma.

Bashir Gwandu, the friend of President Muhammadu Buhari’s son, Yusuf, is also fighting for survival at the intensive care unit of Cedarcrest Hospital, Abuja, DAILY NIGERIAN, the newspaper who broke the accident story, reports.

Bashir Gwandu is Yusuf’s best friend with whom he collided in a horror crash on Tuesday night.

Reliable sources told the newspaper, that the accident occurred when Yusuf revved up the engine of his motorbike to overtake Bashir Gwandu, and suddenly lost control of the machine.

“The accident happened when Yusuf was trying to overtake Bashir. They collided and somersaulted.

“They lay unconscious there for a while before permission was sought to take them to the hospital,” said a source.

Reports gathered reveal that a security vehicle was trailing and giving cover to the president’s son when the accident occurred along Ahmadu Bello Way (near NEXT supermarket), Abuja.

Rumours were rife on Thursday morning that Yusuf was flown to Germany for treatment but spokesman for the president, Garba Shehu, dismissed the rumours.

Sources however told this newspaper that Yusuf would still be flown abroad for treatment as soon as his condition improves.

It is however unclear if Yusuf would be flown abroad alongside his friend, Bashir Gwandu, for further medical attention.
