26 year old Lady allegedly murdered by her abusive boyfriend

26 year old Lady allegedly murdered

Western Cape Police, South Africa have confirmed the death of a 26-year-old woman who went missing two weeks ago.

Her family said Aviwe Jam Jam fled Khayelitsha, Cape Town in July, to escape her abusive boyfriend, Linda Nolili. She was last seen in the Summerville area in Kuilsriver after visiting Nolili.

Jam Jam’s body was identified by her family on Tuesday, August 8th, after it was found dumped at the Vygieskraal Stadium, Athlone, on July 29, roughly 24km from her home. She had been brutally beaten to death.

Captain FC van Wyk, who confirmed the incident said that the post mortem still needed to be concluded.

“On Monday, the body was identified by the family as that of the missing 26-year-old Aviwe Jam Jam who was reported as missing on 2017-07–22 at Mfuleni SAPS,” said Van Wyk

The boyfriend was arrested last week in connection with several other cases and is being investigated in connection with her murder, he said.

Marking Women’s Day on Wednesday, Minister of Police Fikile Mbalula visited the family at their home.

He spent more than an hour talking to them in private. Later, he told journalists that police had been looking for the boyfriend in connection with other cases.

26 year old Lady allegedly murdered

“We will never be ruled by criminals and criminals will not rule anybody. We will find them and we will bring them to book. Their days are numbered.

“These people are not enemies to each other, but the devil has come to this community and done the things that they have done to the Jam Jam family …terrorised them.”

Aviwe’s aunt Nondumiso Zizi said her niece had told her mother that she had left for Pretoria and that she should not look for her because she was hiding from her boyfriend.

Zizi was unable to confirm when Aviwe left Khayelitsha. She said Aviwe and her boyfriend had been together for “several years” and have a 2-year-old child.

“Aviwe was in an abusive relationship with this boyfriend. Aviwe’s mother tried to warn Aviwe of this, but she wouldn’t listen. She loved [her] boyfriend, so there was nothing we could do about it.”

“Aviwe’s mother suspected that Aviwe won’t come [back] alive because the way the boyfriend was treating her.”

She said the boyfriend had come to their home looking for Aviwe and had attacked her stepfather because he thought the family was hiding Aviwe.

Zizi said the boyfriend and a group of friends attacked the stepfather with a panga and he had to get 12 stitches.

“He [the stepfather] was bleeding and the whole yard was full of blood because of them and the boyfriend climbed on top of him and said they should kill him.”

The boyfriend was arrested shortly after for assaulting the stepfather, said Mbalula.

During the visit, Aviwe’s mother Nomthandazo Jam Jam, 56, proudly showed journalists a photo of Aviwe at her graduation.

Aviwe attained a tourism degree from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT).
Nomthandazo said Aviwe would be missed because she always “brought life” to her home.

Mbalula urged women to report abuse and assault to police as soon as possible.

“Women, stand your ground because if you put up with abuse, you are putting up with death,” Mbalula warned.

Malaysian man faces 12000 years in jail — Here’s Why!

Malaysian man faces 12,000 years

A Malaysian man could face a sentence of over 12,000 years in jail if found guilty of 626 charges of sex assaults against his teenage daughter, officials said today.

It took two days for court officials to read out all 626 charges against the 36-year-old divorcee. They finished reading the charges this afternoon. The charges include 599 charges of sodomy against the 15-year-old girl, as well as counts of incest, rape and other sex crimes.

The man is said to have sexually assaulted his eldest daughter, several times a day in their apartment in Sungai Way, Petaling Jaya between January and July this year. The accused divorced the girl’s mother two years ago and had custody of the victim while his two younger daughters are staying with their mother. It was his ex-wife who reported his alleged crimes to the police and the man was arrested on July 26.

The suspect pleaded not guilty to the charges and the case will now proceed to trial. For each charge of sodomy, the father can be punished with a maximum jail term of 20 years, as well as caning. He faces a rape charge that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, and 30 other charges of sexual assault, each punishable by up to 20 years in jail.

“He faces a prison sentence of over 12,000 years,” Aimi Syazwani, a deputy public prosecutor, told AFP.

Judge Yong Zarida Sazali denied the man bail after prosecutors warned there was a danger of him fleeing or intimidating witnesses. The suspect cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim.

“Arrest Musicians who Mime on Stage! They are FRAUDSTERS” – Samini

samini

In an Exclusive interview with Kumasi-based Abusua 96.5 FM’s “Ike de Unpredictable” yesterday, 9th August, Ghananian Reggae and Dancehall artiste, Emmanuel Andrews Samini, known by his stage name Samini, said without mincing words that musicians who mime on stage are fraudsters and need to be arrested.

The “My Own” hit maker has also added his voice to the polemics regarding live band performance.

He advised that, artistes can better still perform with the instrumentals of their tracks even if they aren’t good at live band performance than miming on stage.

According to GH Base, Many Ghanaian musicians hardly perform with Live band when paid large amounts of money to thrill fans at concerts. Such artistes are believed to be lazy and aimless.

Showbiz Critics have lambasted these artistes million times but no positive transformation has been exhibited.

Patrons faintly go for shows of late with the rationale being that, they usually don’t get the natural feel of artistes they pay to party with hence their decision to boycott shows.

“Biafra will come quicker than we anticipate If you arrest me” – Nnamdi Kanu Says, As He Threatens FG

nnamdi kanu threatens federal government

The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who spoke in Umahia yesterday has disclosed that he is not afraid of getting re-arrested by the Federal government.

He revealed that his rearrest would also quicken the actualization of the Republic of Biafra dream and asked ‘why will I be re-arrested and nobody is going to arrest Tanko Yakassai or Ango Abdulahi because of what they have been saying?’

He said:

‘If you arrest me, Biafra will come even quicker than we anticipate. I am not afraid of being arrested. I have been there before and if need be, I will also be there again. I will be very happy if they re-arrest me. If we are hoping for 90% compliance with the boycott of Anambra State Governorship election, my arrest will make the compliance 100%’.

‘but why will I be re-arrested and nobody is going to arrest Tanko Yakassai or Ango Abdulahi because of what they have been saying? Is it because they are Fulani? They own Nigeria? They are immuned to arrest? Is arrest only meant for Biafrans and not for Fulani? Who will arrest Lawal Daura of DSS for flouting court order to release Bright Chimezie Isinwa of IPOB? The Fulanis say whatever they like and go free and nobody holds them accountable because they own Nigeria’.

“I go to anywhere I want to go. I don’t listen to threats. They motivate me rather than dampen my spirit. That thing people say I cannot do is what I love to do. When the time comes, I will go to Lagos if I have to go to Lagos. I have friends with connections in Lagos, Fani Kayode is my friend and he is in Lagos. If I try to visit him in Yoruba land, then I must see him in Lagos”.

“My late father, Fela still appears to me in my dream” – Yeni Kuti

yeni kuti

In a radio talk-show titled, ‘The discourse with Jimi Disu’ on Classic FM 97.3 recently, the first daughter of Late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo- Kuti, Yeni Kuti, has claimed that she still sees her father but in her dreams.

The former dancer, who pioneered the idea of Felabration (a music festival conceived to celebrate the life and contributions of her father Fela Kuti to the Nigerian society), said:

“It’s 20 years since my father died, but it doesn’t seem as if he has been gone for so long. I miss him and I still talk to him in my mind. He and other departed members of my family have also appeared to me in my dreams. I don’t know if it is right to say that they appear to me, but I see them in my dreams. I dream of them a lot.”

She also disclosed that several people approached her in the past and claimed they had messages from her father. But she ignored them.

“I believe in life after death. Also, I believe that if my father has a message for me, he will come directly to me and not go through someone I don’t know or like. If anybody tells me that Fela has sent a message to me through him, I would tell him to ask my dad to appear to me directly himself,” she said.

Waying into the high cases of corruption in the country, she urged the Federal Government to consider adopting traditional African medicine (also known as ‘juju’) as a tool to combat corruption, especially in official circles.

Yeni, whose late dad had belief in the potency of ‘juju’, noted that government should use it to administer oaths to elected officials and government appointees, instead of the Holy Bible and the Koran.

She said:

“Just as Sophie Oyewole has suggested, let them use it to swear in government officials and we shall see if anybody will continue to steal our money in this country or not. I am sure that if they are made to swear by Ogun or some other fearsome African deity, there will be no more corruption,”

The 56-year-old who came from a deeply Christian background, also revealed that she only attend made church occasionally.

‘But that is when I am invited to weddings, burial ceremonies or other events,’ she added.

Explaining her choice of religion, Yeni corrected the impression that her late father didn’t really influence her to believe in the traditional African religion but she on her own embraced it.

“It is not that my father made me embrace it through indoctrination; I learned and I actually believe in it. As a matter of fact, Fela’s arguments in defence of the traditional African religion were enough to convince me.”

Recalling one of her most memorable encounters with her dad, she said:

“When I was a young girl and I knew nothing about his dislike for what he often described as ‘foreign religions’ (Christianity and Islam), I used to visit the Braithwaites and accompany them to church on Sundays. When Fela heard of it, he warned me never to use the allowance he gave me for offering in the church. I can’t forget it,”

 

 

Mercy Johnson undergoes neck surgery

According to new reports making the rounds, Nollywood’s Mercy Johnson recently had a surgery on her neck!

Read Global Excellence Magazine’s report below:

Mercy Johnson undergoes neck surgery

Nollywood star actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, is looking more relaxed and prettier these days.
The thespian was recently appointed the senior special assistant on entertainment, arts and culture to Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, but that is not the only reason behind her latest poise. She just went under the knife, a very reliable source whispered to Global Excellence magazine, and it was successful.

The source said that Mercy, a few weeks back, had work done on her front neck where doctors allegedly removed a scar called fibrosis that hitherto defied treatments to get it under control.

She had the treatment in a United States of America hospital because the US is her family’s second home.

All efforts by this reporter to reach Mercy Johnson for comments on her known mobile phone proved abortive, and a message sent to her husband, Prince Odianosen Okojie, for help via his WhatsApp page remained undelivered till press time.

As the source told Global Excellence magazine, Mercy had always longed to get rid of this embarrassing stretched scar which was telling on her beautiful appearance to no avail.

“The scar was exposed when she wore dresses that left her neck open and it was embarrassing. But that has been taken care of. She wears her dresses now without having to recheck herself every now and then,” claimed the source.
