A pastor in Ekiti state has been accused of causing injuries to a woman’s private part after conducting a “special type” of deliverance for her after collecting N50,000 from her.

The woman who is suffering from wounds in her private region – claimed it happened after the pastor inserted some substances there during deliverance for fertility. She revealed this in an interview conducted by a journalist, Omo Edema of Voice 89.9FM, Ado-Ekiti.. Read below;

“I live in Lagos. One day, my younger brother called me that there was a prophecy from his Prophet, Prophet Oni Olakanye of CAC Palace of Mercy, Mathew, Olokuta, Ado-Ekiti, that I would need to come down to Ado-Ekiti for prayers concerning my infertility. I have married since 2011, but no child. So I discussed the issue with my husband and he allowed me travel to visit the prophet.

“When I got to the prophet a few days later, he first prayed with me at the church reception. He subsequently called me down into one of the rooms in the mission house where he placed a mirror under my private part—the exercise he called inspection, and later poured some liquid substance in my private part and fingered it in by himself. He therefore took me to bathroom where I bathed on a mortar with a black soap and native sponge while he stood in with me…

“He therefore demanded for N50,000 which I gave to him on the same day.

“Lastly, he gave me a ball-shaped substance to insert into my private part in the bedtime when I get home. I did according to his instructions. However, since then, my private part has been badly affected with wounds without cure yet…” These were the allegations of Mrs. Omowale against Prophet Oni Olakanye of CAC Palace of Mercy, Mathew, Olokuta, Ado-Ekiti.

“I know her, but not all her allegations against me were true. I collected N50,000 to work for her and to ensure she has child in life. The substance I gave her to insert into her private part; she didn’t use it according to my instruction…” The prophet, Oni Olakanye responded.

Telcomm Satellite TV has said it’s newly inaugurated pay TV, TSTV Africa, will begin commercial operation on November 1.

Its Managing Director, Mr Bright Echefu, made this known while briefing journalists on Saturday in Abuja.

Echefu added that TSTV would launch its services with about one million decoders nationwide. He said that at least 5,000 decoders TSTV would be released to the public next week for free, adding that it would use the first set of decoders with one month free subscription to test run its services.

“Commercialization of our decoders will resume officially on Nov. 1 and by that time, every part of Nigeria would have TSTV decoders for people to buy.

“We are releasing about one million which can go round and our target for the first quarter is one million units.

“In every quarter we will bring one million units and we are targeting four million units within the next one year.

“I can tell you categorically that some decoders will be released next week for Nigerians to test and we are going to cover the 36 states of the federation.

A retiree, Mary Torkwase Antom, 58, from Tse Baraku Benue State, has taken a bold step to immortalize her late husband and late son’s names by marrying a 27-year-old lady.

She and her husband, Patrick, a retiree of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, were blessed with only one child, Thomas Awuhe, who was was in SS2 when he died in 2004. A year later, her husband also died.

So she made the move to secure not only the family name but also its property. A friend later told her about a pretty young unmarried lady, Juliet Muese, who was on the verge of being disowned by her parents over her inability to identify the person responsible for her pregnancy.

Mrs. Antom then sought Juliet’s hand in marriage for her dead son, in keeping with Tiv tradition. The parents of Juliet also readily agreed. “What I did is a well-known practice in our place and culture,” she said in defence.

“There are a lot of children, almost 18% of them born after their father’s death. These children answer their father’s name.” The marriage that took place in 2007, has produced two boys with the third child on the way.

“Juliet is comfortable answering my son’s name. She wrote JAMB and I’m processing her admission to the Federal University, Lafia,” she said,

On her part, Juliet says: “I have no problem, in fact I’m doing better than those who got married to living husbands. Hajia is planning to buy a car for me next year if I secure a university admission.

As you can see, I’m looking sweet and people toast me a lot, but I shun them. At the moment, I have a boyfriend who is a student at the state university, Keffi. My second son’s biological father who is a student at Keffi is married.

He is equally responsible for this very one l’m carrying, but he cannot come and claim them. So, there is no problem. I’m good to go.”

The village head in Doma LGA, Chief Angbande Hue, said what happened is a known tradition among his people, adding that the tradition was very rampant in the 60s.

Bridget Enchill Obeng, dubbed as a “notorious Nigerian Female Serial fraudster”, has been arrested by operatives of the Criminal Investigations Department [CID], of the Ghana Police Service.

According to reports from Daily Guide, she has been on their most wanted list for over nine month for duping over 10 Ghaianans of money running into millions of cedis, under the pretext of selling vehicles to them.

The suspect who used the operational name of Naana was apprehended at Baah Yard, Awoshie, Accra, after reportedly successfully playing hide-and-seek with the Police over the period she was declared wanted.

The Police, it was gathered, had earlier arrested a different person they had suspected was her and later realized it was a mistaken identity.

However, upon a tip-off, Obeng was later arrested after she defrauded yet another person in Osu and handed over to the CID for investigation.

The CID’s Director of Operations, ACP Peter Gyimah who confirmed the arrest of Obeng, said she displayed various vehicles for sale on the social media, claiming to be a Customs officer and that the cars were on auction, with her contact numbers for victims to call her.

ACP Gyimah added that when interested persons contact Obeng, she would arrange to either meet them or asked her accomplices to do so and in the process, defrauded the victims of various sums ranging from GH¢9,000 to GH¢50,000 and then disappeared into thin air.

The Police spokesman said that investigations revealed that the suspect and her accomplices often use apartments whose owners lived outside the country for their nefarious activities.
