It has been revealed that the runaway bride in Ondo state who failed to show up for her wedding ceremony dated her fiance for SEVEN YEARS before they decided to walk down the aisle.

A source in the groom’s family spoke to PUNCH Metro and revealed that the bride did not show any sign that she would do such a thing, saying the incident was a shock to both families.

He explained that Taiwo and Biodun had been dating for almost seven years without any disagreement between them, adding that they both finished from the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo.

The source said, “The incident is still a mystery to everybody because both families have been having a smooth relationship. She had never dated anybody apart from Abiodun. She is a very good girl and both families consented to their union. There was no disagreement from any party.

“She did not show any sign that she would cancel the wedding. We were all at the church, expecting her. Even her father did not believe what happened because I don’t think she told her parents of her plan to boycott the wedding.

“They did not quarrel; both of them still spoke on the telephone on the eve of the wedding day. She did not give him any sign. She has not switched on her phone; we don’t know where she is.”

Taiwo failed to show up for the church service on her wedding day, disappointing her husband to-be and many guests who attended the wedding.

Her parents and the family of the groom knew nothing about her whereabouts.

However, a resident of Christ Land area in Oka, Ondo, where the Taiwo’s parents live, on condition of anonymity disclosed that the ‘runaway’ bride had called her parents on a different telephone line, informing them of her whereabouts.

An Uber Driver in Lagos, Innevosa Emmanuel was reported strangled to death at the Ogba area of Lagos State recently.

Two men, Osaro Egbomrewen and Michael Eyeoekpe, have been arrested by the men of the Lagos state police force in connection with the death of the Uber driver.

Parading the suspects before newsmen today, the state police commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, said the suspects had posed as passengers and ordered for a taxi using the Uber application.

The deceased had arrived their location in Ikeja and was instructed to take them to their destination at Ogba, Oke-Ira.

During their trip, the suspects and one other who is currently at large, suddenly ordered the driver to make a U-turn and take them to Oremeji Street, Obawole area of Ogba, where he was strangled with a belt and his KIA RIO salon car marked KTU 594DM vehicle was taken away.

The suspects had planned to sell off the car to an unsuspecting buyer. However the police began to trail them and tracked the vehicle after a complain was laid of a missing Uber driver and his car.

One of the suspects who narrated how they carried out the act said

“I and Michael met at Ogba where I went to drink and we became friends. I told him how difficult things were for me that I needed to relocate to Benin to start all over again. It was at this point that Michael told me about a deal that could fetch me some money that we could get a car and then sell it to his boss. Michael then told me about one Alex (Emmanuel) who had a vehicle and we agreed to meet the following day.

Since then we had been meeting and discussing how to buy the vehicle. On the fateful day the Uber driver came, I was with Michael in his office and his friend Destiny was with him but I don’t know if he discussed the vehicle deal with Destiny. Around 9:30p.m, we called the Uber driver to come and pick us at Tantalizer eatery at Ogba. I and Destiny were inside the vehicle with the driver, but Michael was outside while I was holding the belt. Immediately I put the belt across the driver’s neck, Destiny dragged the belt and we strangled him.

When we were satisfied that he was dead, we took his corpse to Oremeji Street and dumped him in front of a church around 10:30 p.m., without anybody noticing us. After killing the driver, we took the vehicle to Michael’s boss to sell it. The buyer then inquired from us where we got the vehicle from and Michael told him that we killed the owner. The buyer then said we should take the car away and Michael said we should take it to his house and park it outside, before taking it to another buyer in Benin. Later we were tracked to Benin, arrested and brought back to Lagos”.

The state Commissioner of Police said they would soon be charged to court.

Remember Mrs. Kudirat Adebayo? The woman that was reportedly shot dead by a policeman who shot at some alleged “Yahoo Boy”? She has been finally laid to rest yesterday, April 11th, 2017.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, was around to sympathize with the family as Nigerians have demanded for justice to be served with the hashtag #JusticeForKudi.

The Lagos state police command have arrested one Blessing Paul, a maid for allegedly stealing her boss’ $10,000 in Gbagada and changed it to Naira at the rate of N86 per usd.

Blessing was was alleged to have forcibly opened the boss’ room with a knife and collected the money while the woman was at work.

It was gathered that the maid, who had been stealing money and other valuables from her victim’s home, handed over the foreign currencies to the house guard identified as Daniel.

The guard, it was gathered, handed the money to a security man at another residence in Gbagada, who in turn took it to a Bureau De Change (BDC) operator for the Naira equivalent.

But the operator was said to have told policemen he received only about $5,000 from Amos. Instead of giving them N360/USD, the BDC operator gave the suspects at N86 per dollar, thereby shortchanging the alleged thieves of more than N2m.

According to the command’s spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), the woman they stole from was one Mrs. Tokunbo.

He said the maid confessed that the woman has been very kind to her, adding that she usually bought clothes and gift items for her to take to her family in Benue State.

Cole said that the BDC operator gave the suspects N870, 000 as equivalent for $5,000. He said: “We also found N400, 000 in the maid’s bank account.

Investigation revealed that money and valuables have been missing in the house, but the woman didn’t suspect until the theft of foreign currency last week.”

We’ve finally laid our hands on the picture of the man who raped a 12 year old boy to Death in Niger State.

The 12-year-old, identified only as Aminu, lost his life after he was sexually abused by one Abubakar, a tea seller in Ngwayanma, in the Kontagora area of Niger State.

Abubakar, aka Maishai, had reportedly abducted Aminu from his parents’ house sometime in March, and held him hostage in his (Abubakar’s) apartment. He was alleged to have severally had anal sex with Aminu for two weeks, until the victim fell ill.

It was gathered that a neighbour, who got wind of Aminu’s abduction, raised the alarm and reported the case to the police at the Kontagora division. While Abubakar was arrested, the boy was admitted to a hospital, where he died.

A police source said that Abubakar was arraigned in a Kontagora Chief Magistrate’s Court before the boy died, on two counts of abduction and unnatural offences, to which the defendant pleaded guilty.

“The unfortunate thing is that he was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment with a fine of N30,000, which is ridiculous. The punishment generated a lot of outcry. But it is not the police’s fault. What the police can do is to appeal the case or file a new charge, now that boy is dead,” he added.

The Niger State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Elkana James, confirmed Aminu’s death, saying that the case had been transferred to the command headquarters in Minna.

He added that the suspect would be re-arraigned on a fresh charge of culpable homicide. He said, “He is still in prison, serving the one month’s imprisonment. Once the new charge is filed, he would be reproduced to take his plea.”

An Ugandan Man and a Facebook user, Alex Baale Gattusso, did what no one expected by sharing a photo of all the girls he has slept with. He also did put all the women he has slept with on blast.

The photo he shared, got him on the bad side of some Facebook users who ripped him apart. According to some of those who commented, sharing the photos makes him an idiot, and it’s unthinkable to imagine that some people are supporting him.

However we couldn’t get a screenshot of some of the comments on the post because it was pulled down, but here are some of the comments culled from Ugandanblog;

Caroline Leitch: I am sure his muma loves him, but that is a skinny yet also somehow flabby looking wretch. One that 90% of those photos, “his” women are scowering, real unhappy looking and the rest he is groping. I mean how low does it have to go that even unhappy looking women are ….gotta post that!

Jacob Sawasawa Munande: Some of yall niggas out here talking poo about this dude but most of yall wish yo bust all kind of nuts just like him but yall get none.

Citar Mignon: and that why h.i.v is so damn rampant in the Nigerian community and nobody says a word

Bianco Solomons: Cheating is disrespectful and disgusting… it doesn’t make you look ‘cool’ YOU’RE JUST AN IDIOT…I can’t believe some guys actually ‘support’ this kind of behavior..

Banjo Abims: Free the guy Abeg, what is he offering the hoes that they are all flocking around him…….. HIV indeed, how many Hoes Tiger Wood had?….. He should just watch out cos he is gonna end up with the baddest of them all, and that one is going to Bleep his life up…. That’s how it all ends….. All these falafolo ends up badly
