Harta Whodohmar, the victim of the brutality, shared the photos from his hospital bed, revealing that a drunk policeman came and assaulted him with his firearm after he went to the bank to deposit money.
He wrote:
On the 21st of December 2016, I went to First Bank Abak road to deposit some money. On coming out from the banking hall, the security had blocked the main entrance.
I requested that they should open the gate so I can drive out to meet up with Keystone Bank before they close for the day.
The drunk mobile policeman came to the scene and enquired to know what is going on, I responded by telling him to ask the security.
Angrily he pushed me out and came after me with his riffle, hit my head with the riffle
and ran along with passersby. everyone abandoned me me only for a friend to rush me to the hospital.
after series of scanning and x-ray doctor’s diagnose that my skulll was broken and that pieces of my skull had fallen into my brain
Trust me I am gradually recovering,else you wouldn’t see this post. I now know the full meaning of pains.
Special thanks to all who visited me, to those who put phone calls across and to those who prayed to God on my behalf.
My unreserved gratitude goes permanently to God for seeing me through the operation and still sustaining me, even when I didn’t have the millions that was requested.
This is the best revenge she could have ever given though – but here’s the ironical truth, she wouldn’t have opted out to lose weight, had her husband not ridicule her. His ridicule was her motivation and yeah well, as the saying goes, “good things fall apart to allow better things fall in place”.
She shared the tweet with these photos:
Last year, my ex-husband cheated on me & called me fat. We got divorced, I started your weight loss plan.. NOW HE’S JEALOUS?

An Assistant Commissioner of Police, identified as one Christopher Osakue, has reportedly committed suicide in Benin, the Edo State capital.
Late Osakue allegedly shot himself in the head with his service pistol in his residence located on Upper Sokponba on Wednesday after sending a woman and little boy living with him on an errand.
It was also learnt that he did not leave any suicide note behind.
The late police officer was said to be in charge of training and development at the state police command after his recent posting from Ondo State.
The ACP had earlier suffered a partial stroke a few years back and was gradually recovering from it before the incident occurred.
A source in the area disclosed that a gunshot from the residence of the deceased was heard at about 5pm on December 28. The source said,
“A neighbour said she heard a gunshot inside the ACP’s residence about 5pm that fateful Wednesday. “She added that after the sound of the gun, a frightening silence engulfed the entire building.”
Security operatives from the Ugbekun police division were said to have later stormed his residence. It was further learnt that the late Osakue had played host to some youths in his area last Christmas.
The Commissioner of Police, Haliru Gwandu, described the senior police officer’s death as a case of suicide.
Gwandu also explained that the pistol which he allegedly used to commit the act was signed for at the Ondo State Police command before he was posted to Edo.
A pilot has been suspended after turning up allegedly drunk for work before trying to fly a plane carrying more than 150 passengers.
CCTV footage of the moment the Indonesian pilot tried to pass through airport security acting intoxicated has emerged online. Press play to watch it below.
The footage of the pilot, who has been reportedly been identified as Capt. Tekad Purna, shows the man repeatedly dropping his things all over the floor and dramatically swaying as staff attempt to help him.
As the man arrives at the checkpoint wearing dark sunglasses, he drops his hat on the floor. He then dumps his bag on the conveyor belt before walking through the body scanner.
As he goes to collect his bag, swaying as he does so, it tips upside down and his belongings fall on the floor. As the security staff try and help by gathering together his things, the man also drops his sunglasses, which appear to break.
After staff hand him his glasses the man walks off holding them in his mouth.
Reports suggest the pilot made it all the way to the cockpit of the CityLink plane, a budget Indonesian airline and subsidiary of national airline Garuda Indonesia, before his condition was noticed.
The 154 passengers on the plane staged a walk out when the pilot made an incoherent announcement over the tannoy system, with nine of them cancelling their flights, according to the Transportation Ministry’s report.
The pilot was removed from the aircraft and replaced with another before the plane departed from Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, East Java, and flew to Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta.
The pilot has since been suspended and will undergo a full medical test, although Citilink stated that the pilot’s initial drug and alcohol tests came up negative, Mirror UK reports.
The United States President Elect, took to his Twitter on Saturday to wish the world a happy new year — and to mock his haters one final time before the calendar turns to 2017.
He shared the tweet:
This is just so wrong and cruel! The fact that the both of you didn’t have it going doesn’t mean you’d wish sorrow for either of yourselves.
This Nigerian Twitter user, @AdWOLF_Twitler, took to his page to send in this tweet, as he rejoices that his ex had her second miscarriage… So wrong Mr… So wrong!

Some stars came into the Nigerian music scene and like meteorite, they were up in the sky, shining like light and having so many fans endeared to their heats.
But in 2016, it was as if their light started dwindling. When so many thought they might have been cooking something in the studio hoping such would be released before the end of the year, these stars lived on past glory while new acts sprang up and some of their contemporaries shone brighter. Saturday Beats brings some of the artistes whose light didn’t shine so brightly in 2016
Not just a few believed Omawunmi would excel going by her performance during the Idols reality show that shot her into limelight in 2007.
She has cemented her name as an achiever and force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian entertainment scene. Her sophomore album, ‘Lasso of Truth,’ which was released in 2015 was said to be a commercial success. Omawumi managed to break that jinx where just male artistes had held sway in the music scene for a long time.
But fast forward to 2016, not much was heard from the singer musically. Thank God for social media anyway, but for Instagram where the babe would always post one or two stuff, her presence would have dwindled considerably.
Yes, she managed to release a song with Grammy Award winner, Angelique Kidjo but did it have a very positive impact in her career in 2016? No!
Anyway, fans still love her and hope that not only would she change her hairstyle in 2017, she would also come up with better and bigger hits.

Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar today exited the social media platform, Instagram.
Just as most celebrities were reminiscing about the year, 2016 and how they had fared, the actress did the same but dropped the bombshell at the end of the post it.
With her exit, Instagram is less one celebrity that gets people talking.
See her last post here:
President Mohammadu Buhari has revealed that world powers engineered his removal as Nigeria’s Military Head of State.
Buhari previously served as the nation’s Head of State from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état.
He made the disclosure while speaking when he was hosted to a Guards Brigade Regimental Dinner by the Nigerian Army on Friday night in Abuja.
The president recalled how his refusal to adhere to an advice from the IMF, World Bank to devalue the naira and increase prices of fuel and flour, as a military Head of State, led to his removal.
He said: “I refused and gave my reasons and the next thing I knew I was removed and detained for three and half years.”
Buhari therefore, stated that he was conversant with the problems of the military having spent over 25 years in the service.
“As a civilian president I will do my best and I’m telling you all these because you are part of the leadership of this great country and God willing we will remain great,” he added.
Below is a statement from his family:

A Nigerian Journalist, Chris Joseph has written an open letter to the duo of Ubi Franklin and Lilian Esoro on his Instagram page, seeking the reconciliation of the estranged couple.
The couple have been in the news, the last few days over the deteriorating state of their one year old marriage. Recently, Lilian Esoro removed Ubi’s surname “Franklin” from her Instagram page and deleted all of Ubi Franklin’s photos, including pictures of them together.
Just as other social media users noticed, Well, Joseph did too and decided to write an open letter, letting them know how he truly feels about the situation.
Stating that he didn’t think the Marriage was over and that they should perhaps stay away from social media for a while.
Read the open letter below.
“I shared this a while back in one of my post; it’s worth repeating again.
______________________________Honestly, I really don’t want to believe Ubi Franklin’s marriage to Lilian Esoro is over, seeing he still got his wedding ring on, and despite Lilian yanking off “Franklin” from her Instagram profile name and deleting all Ubi’s picture. Obviously, there’s a message she’s trying to pass across to the public. But honestly the public don’t care. WE DON’T CARE.
________________________________Lillian, can you be matured for a minute and stop letting the public into your matrimonial issues?
Apparently, so much has been said online about Ubi Franklin & Lilian Esoro’s marriage hitting the rock; some blaming the wife while others pointing fingers at the husband. But please permit me to share my honest opinion on this matter. I just hope I don’t get bashed for airing my opinion just like i did on Ogbonna Kanu’s marriage proposal to Laura Ikeji.
_______________________________Having been around women, here’s what i know about them. Women are die-hard lovers. Trust me. They love more than we men do. Apparently, I’ve come to understand that when a woman truly loves a man, he really doesn’t need to fight hard to win her over. I’m not saying the man has to be perfect, No! But If the woman loves the man that much, she would cover up so many things for him and also believe in him.
________________________________Having said that, without little or no experience about marriage, i might not be the right person to address this issue, but to my own little understanding, when you truly love someone, the kind of perseverance you have with them will totally be different. You as an individual will always play reasonable in every part in their lives. Now, talking about marriage vows being exchanged at the alter of God, permit me to ask this simple question.
________________________________Why should real Christians go to the altar of God in the first place when he/she knows there’s no such thing as genuine love in their heart but selfish desires? So, you marry a person you don’t love? A person you don’t respect?
Because If you respect your partner and the altar where the name of the Almighty God is called, you can’t come and make promises to mere humans and forget about it all; most especially now that a little child is a product of your matrimony.
________________________________Like I’ll always say, marriage takes both people being willing to work through the issues. A marriage only works if you’re willing to work for the marriage and as well putting God first because God is Love.
So Lillian, please permit me to say this with all due respect.. “Your marriage wasn’t based on love my dear” and i honestly think you both don’t love yourself that much.
________________________________Because if you do, prior to your wedding I’m very sure there are behaviours that are evident if you have taken enough time to get to know your husband. Certain attitudes and habits of his should not be a surprise, because when you made those commitment to your husband, you were committing to his whole being. It’s rare that people turn into a new person after marriage.
_______________________________So if your husband has something that bugs you, more than likely it bugged you prior to jumping the broom, now is the time you must deal with it. If it’s really wearing you down, communicate how much it is affecting your relationship with him and see there is a compromise between you both. Accepting defeat or divorce is a no no at this point for you both, and as you know love heals all wounds.
_____________________________________On a final note, i think it’s high time you both take a break from posting your family issues on social media and take the time to pray for divine direction from God, that’s what true Christians should do. Allow the will of God be done. It’s my prayer that God heals you both fast. Can’t wait to see you both hold hands together again at public events. Stay Blessed!
