One of the girlfriends of billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike aka Evans, Amaka Offor, has refuted the claims made by the kidnapper’s lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, that she was sexually molested by some police officers.

Ogungbeje in a petition he filed before the Police Sevice Commission last week, alleged that some police officers sexually molested Amaka while trying to get Evans arrested. He also alleged that the police officers have extorted over N50 million from his client.

The police in a statement released by the public relations officer, Jimoh Moshood, denied the alegations saying it is false and baseless.

Amaka granted an interview with Vanguard and refuted the allegations made by the lawyer. She says she doesn’t know where the lawyer got his story from. According to her, she hasn’t even met with the lawyer before.

“I don’t know where that lawyer got his story from and I have never met him. I have also not seen or spoken to Evans since he was arrested. I changed my phone number after he was arrested and I don’t think he has the new phone number. After he was charged to court where he pleaded guilty, I tried to see him in prison and speak with him, but I was not allowed to see him. The wardens did not tell me why I could not see him, but they took the food I brought for him and promised that they will give it to him. I was troubled when I read the story of the lawyer accusing the policemen, who arrested Evans, of sexually molesting me, while they were trying to use me to lure Evans out of hiding. I am not a baby and I know when I am being sexually molested and abused. Nothing of such happened and I think I have to set the record straight.”

Continuing, Amaka said,

“One week before Evans was arrested, some policemen accosted me on my way to the market and arrested me. Though they were hostile to me at the time they arrested me. I was completely in shock when they told me that Evans who I know and still call Chukwuebuka Mike, was a robber and kidnapper. I did not believe it. They later told me that they wanted me to lure him to my house because I told them that he was fond of my children and he normally spent time with us. The policemen were in my house. I was always in my room and they were always in the seating room. They provided all the money we used in cooking throughout their one week stay in my house. They were strategizing on how to arrest Evans. They also bought the fuel we used in powering the generator. On the day Evans was arrested, he called me around 5:am and the policemen brought the phone to me in my room and gave it to me. I answered the call and he told me not to drop the call. I thought I was standing by the gate and I did not put on any slippers. I walked out of the gate on barefoot. When I opened the gate, I saw him parked across the road and I entered into his vehicle. The moment I saw him, I was panting and he asked what was happening. I told him policemen where in my house for one week and they were looking for him. He zoomed off immediately and took me Iyana-Ipaja where he dropped me. He left with my phone. That was the last time I saw him. I was surprised when his lawyer said I was sexually abused by the policemen who arrested him.”.

The military should please forget its charity/ humanitarian work in Southern Nigeria. From reports, they are clearly not welcome.

If they wish to win the confidence and support of the publics, they must begin by changing the character of their narrative.

Who wants to frolick with Pythons or Crocodiles, and within the same period that humanity is being dehumanized by them?

Haba! Some things are common sense na?

A 17-year-old was recently taught a terrifying life lesson, after she posted online, that she was ready to give out her virginity in place of an iPhone 8.

Identified as Xia Chen, the teenager, posted that she would give up her virginity for a cash payment of around £2,300 because one of her friends slept with a wealthy stranger and earned “easy” money.

Her post was discovered by a vlogger who hosts a show, and they set up an interview.

Footage posted by vlogger Nana, 21, shows the pair meeting in a tea house, where Xiao Chen explains that she wants to buy the new iPhone 8 because all her friends have the new phone.

Nana, whose show focuses on exposing poor social behaviour and challenging the human condition, tries to talk the teenage girl out of the deal, but Xiao Chen insists.

“All I have to do is lie there, right?” she says during the interview, adding: “We each get what we want. I’ve already thought it through.”

Nana then gives the girl around £60 as a “deposit” and the pair set up a time and place for the deal to take place, but the teenager has no idea that she is about to be set up for a very public shaming.

When it was time for the deed to be done, Xiao Chen was inside the hotel room with her client, when he handed her a new iPhone 8 to gain her trust.

But things go frighteningly wrong for Xiao Chen when three more men – one with a camera – storm into the room and the trio say they want to “have some fun”.

The teen is pinned to the bed- and then Nana bursts out from the hotel room bathroom to stop the staged scene.

“Now are you afraid?” Nana screams at Xiao Chen, who sits crying on the bed.

“Well, it’s too late now!” the vlogger adds, saying: “It’s not worth selling anything just for a phone.”

In the end, Nana orders all the men, including the cameraman, out of the hotel room so he can lecture the teenager in private. Several people have said the footage is fake.

Reports all the way from South Africa, says that a correctional service official in Losperfontein prison in Brits has committed suicide, after her relationship with an inmate was exposed.

The department said it had been made aware of the images circulating on social media.

Her name has not been released yet.

The department’s regional commissioner for Limpopo‚ Mpumalanga and North West‚ Mandla Mkabela‚ expressed sadness at the incident.

“We have dispatched a team of senior managers and our employee assistance programme specialists to provide necessary support‚” Mkabela said.

The Nigeria Union of Teachers, Zaria Local Government Area Branch, will on Tuesday begin three days of fasting and prayers to seek God’s intervention on the planned sack of 20,000 primary school teachers.

Kaduna State Government had conducted an examination for primary school teachers in the state and said 68 per cent of the teachers did not pass the primary four pupils’ exam at excellent level.

The NUT Chairman in Zaria Local Government Area, Malam Yahaya Abbas, said on Monday that the teachers were compelled to seek God’s intervention over the planned sack.

Abbas said, “Majority of our members here are Muslims and we do not have anywhere to lodge our complaint except to our creator.

“Therefore, we intend to start a three-day fasting on Oct. 17, in addition to prayers, to seek God’s intervention on the planned mass sack of our members whom government said did not pass its examination.

“There is no way for everybody to score “A” grade in an examination; that is 75 per cent, this is not what was agreed with the union representatives.

“The agreement was that the pass mark should be 60 per cent not 75 per cent. Again, the result of the examination is not yet out but the government said it will sack 20,000 teachers.”

He said that the government still owed some teachers salary arrears of between three months and 13 months, while some of them were being underpaid.

According to him, the primary schools across the state are understaffed, hence, the need for government to recruit more teachers instead of sacking the existing ones.

“I can assure you that there is one female teacher who teaches 200 pupils in a class due to the shortage of teaching staff.

“Again, sacking of experienced teachers and recruiting new ones is not the solution because anybody who bagged a National Certificate in Education or degree in the last 10 years must have been taught by these categories of teachers.
