Broc’s condition is medically referred to as Sotos Syndrome – one in every 15,000 people is affected by it. He had to go through thorough medical examination, but doctors found nothing wrong with his health.

Mr Nindoo who was angry about the despicable act has made an official report to the Police and the Chief of the area about the matter.

A heartless 22-year-old man yesterday confessed to the Accra Central District Magistrate Court that he killed a seven-year-old girl at Ashaiman, near Tema and had sex with her corpse. The incident happened in Ghana.
The man identified as Lucas Agboyie, alias “Sympathy” revealed that he strangled his victim after she had refused his advances and even begged him not to have sex with her.
“I then took her to my room and slept with the body repeatedly,’’ Lucas said, to the shock of the audience in the packed courtroom.
He revealed that on the day of the incident, he smoked marijuana, right after which he saw the girl passing by his house.
“It was a Sunday morning and after taking ‘ganja’, I saw the girl passing. I called her and sent her to go and bring me my towel that had been hung behind my house. On her return, I told her that I wanted to sleep with her but she refused.
“I held her hand and she began struggling with me. She begged and told me to let her go and started screaming. So I strangled her.
“I then took her to my room and slept with the body. Afterwards, I took the GHC20 she had in her possession and used it to buy ‘ganja’,” he said.
The shocking revelation left the victim’s mother in tears. Agboyie has been charged with murder and is currently going through committal proceedings at the magistrate court, a prelude to the actual trial at the High Court.
Mobile telecommunications giant, MTN, on Friday categorically denied bribing Chief of Staff Abba Kyari, or any government official for the reduction of the N1.04 trillion fine slammed on the company by the Federal Government.
The Chief Executive Officer of MTN, Ferdi Moolman in a statement said reports going around that it paid N500 million to get the fine reduced are not true.
”MTN Nigeria has no knowledge of this and the allegation is therefore denied.
“The MTN Nigeria fine was ultimately settled with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC),” he said.
The NCC reduced the fine to N330 billion and allowed the company pay till May 31, 2019. SaharaReporters earlier reported that Chief of Staff Abba Kyari allegedly collected N500 million from telecommunications company to help reduce the fine imposed on it by the Federal Government.
According to the online news medium, concrete evidence that the shady activity took place has been presented to the President.

According to reports, that the mother and children are doing very well – Saint Mienpamo, Special Assistant on Research & Social Media to the Governor says the ”Governor’s joy knows no bound.”
Daniel Iworiso-Markson, the Chief Press Secretary to Mr. Dickson, said it was a season of celebration for the family.
“This is particularly good news for the family and Bayelsans because this bundle of joy is coming after many years of praying and waiting upon the Lord,” Mr. Iworiso-Markson said.
“Governor Dickson thanks friends, family members and Bayelsans for their prayers and support and enjoins them to continue to pray for the family.”

In a hurry to submit their answer booklets to invigilators, some candidates forget their expo (materials used for examination malpractice) in the booklets, the West African Examination Council has said.
The council also noted that some other candidates use different answer booklets from its authorised copies.
Its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Demianus Ojijeogu, who confirmed this in an interview with our correspondent, however, added that the council had reduced the incidence of impersonation in its examinations through its biometric registration process.
He said:
“We encounter malpractice during the examination and during marking. Some leave the expo in the answer booklets. We see that all the time. Others use other answer booklets different from the council’s own. But, we discover these things during marking because the booklets do not have our serial numbers and they are not usually signed by the supervisors. Supervisors usually sign the booklets before they are given to the candidates.
“We have been able to handle impersonation through our biometric process but there is still collusion where candidates will copy exactly the same answers usually dictated by a teacher. We have our invigilators but the number is limited. When you leave the centre or before we get there, they will do what they want.”
He added that the council was still dealing with challenges of collusion, which involved teachers aiding candidates during examination.
Ojijeogu, who said that some candidates harassed supervisors, noted that the development had forced the council to adopt a more discreet approach in making announcements regarding examination malpractice.
“We no longer make noise about examination malpractice because examination supervision is a hazardous job. When candidates engage in malpractice, we just take their number and they fill a form. Some of our workers have been held hostage, female supervisors have been harassed. It is a hazardous job,” he added.
An Italian lawyer is suing Emirates after he was sat next to an “obese” man on a nine-hour flight in economy class. Giorgio Destro claims his flight from Cape Town to Dubai was ruined by an overweight passenger whose body “spilled” into his seat on the Boeing 777. Destro snapped a selfie that shows him looking unhappy and apparently cramped in seat 29K next to the unidentified man who had the middle seat.
Italian newspaper Mattino Padova ,reported that, the lawyer said he suffered throughout the flight last July and was told by cabin crew he could not change seats because the flight was fully booked.
“For nine hours I had to stand in the aisle, sit on seats reserved for the cabin crew when they were free and in the final phase of flight resign myself to suffer the ‘spillover’ of the passenger at my side,” he told the newspaper in comments translated by The Local.
Destro claimed he flies so often with Emirates that he is a gold member in its Skywards frequent flyer programme, entitling him to perks such as lounge access and a guaranteed seat even on fully-booked flights.
The lawyer, who used to work at the Italian Consulate in South Africa, said Emirates refused to apologise or compensate him for his ‘hardship‘.
He is demanding €2759.51 in compensation; €759.51 as a refund for the flight which he wasn’t able to enjoy, and a further €2,000 in damages.
Apostle Kenneth Kiarie, 30, of God’s Covenant Holiness Church in Mihang’o, Kayole in Nairobi, told The Nairobian that he hurriedly married Marion Wagitu, 23, “because being a pastor, I needed a wife officially married in church.”
The two fell in love when Marion attended his church in June last year and the pastor saw in Marion a ‘humble rural girl.’
Two months later, Kiarie visited her parents in Murang’a to ask for her hand in marriage. By December, the pastor had requested for a wedding. It was granted and they were wedded in April this year.
Pastor Kiarie is said to have borrowed money to finance their wedding which has now left him in debt. But now, the pastor is being accused of throwing out his newly wedded wife for what are suspected as plans to marry another woman.
Even before the honeymoon was over, their marriage hit the rocks sometime in July, with both parties pointing accusing fingers at each other.
“He used to tell me that if I left, I would not get a husband, and that he had scores of beautiful girls hanging around him,” says Marion, who has since been allegedly thrown out of the marital home and is now back at her Murang’a village.
Marion says he married Kiarie because he is a pastor, but their marriage has been a bumpy one, with Kiarie allegedly blaming her for the declining congregation numbers and tithe amounts in his church, because of her odd behaviours in and out of the church.
“He blames me over a Sh70,000 debt he incurred to fund the wedding. He claimed I threw hot tea and stove at him and attempted to beat him in front of his parents,” says Marion, adding that the man of God often left her with Sh5 for cooking oil on grounds that she was a villager.
Kiarie swore in the name of God that the accusations were false. He instead accuses Marion of destroying their marriage through her weird behaviour, offensive words, attempt to assault him in front of friends and blood relations and accusing him of infidelity.
“Actually, that was the third time I chased her and it has now been successful. She wanted to control me but that is not African. I said we rather separate than have one of us dead,” he explains.

Many beggars on Lagos streets feign illness to deceive innocent persons and get alms from them, the Chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce SP Olayinka Egbeyemi, said on Thursday.
Egbeyemi spoke while parading a 40-year-old female suspect arrested by the operatives of the State Taskforce at Oshodi, Lagos. He urged Lagos residents to be cautious when giving alms, with many of such fake beggars trooping into Lagos daily.
“The rate at which these fake beggars operate in the state calls for concern.
“That is why the Agency is collaborating with relevant government Ministries, Agencies and Departments to get rid of these beggars on the streets and roads of Lagos.
“The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni has directed that the suspect be immediately charged to court,” he said.
The suspect said that she bandaged her son’s leg with two rolls of white bandages and poured Gentian Violet (GV) on the leg everyday to deceive members of the public to give alms to the boy.
She said she made a lot of money in the Oshodi area of the state.
The suspect pleaded with the government not to charge her to court, saying she was ready to go back to her town and re-unite with her family voluntarily.
So this photo of one Godgift Azubike carrying a Ghana-must-go bag and two other bags has gone viral on Social media. He says people should call him when the opposition party takes over, that this is not the change he voted for.
This year, really, has been the first year to take the singer backwards since he started his quite already successful music career – as it’s normal annually, for artistes to be recognized by award shows some of the singer’s fans feel he ought to have being nominated for awards by various music organizations but the singer himself admits he doesn’t deserve any nomination.
A fan had tweeted (above) that the singer did not make the recently published list of artistes nominated for the 2016 MTV Music Video Awards (MAMA) – He hasn’t dropped any single in 8 months, and he is set to drop his long-awaited album which had been on hold since he landed the deal with Sony BMG.
The three landlords at Oshorun Heritage Estate, Isheri and their trainer who were kidnapped last Saturday on Channels Avenue have been reportedly freed.
Kennedy Ucheagwu, Dr. Omololu Bello, Fidelis Esang and trainer Coach Oni were whisked away by gunmen clad in military camouflages during their routine exercise near Lekki Gardens Estate.
Initially, the gunmen demanded N300 million as ransom for each of them but the amount, The Nation gathered, was later reduced to N20million.
It was gathered that the police have tracked the suspects, mostly young boys, and their messenger identified as Mary, from the telephone number they used in contacting victims’ relatives.
The Nation reports that security agencies would have rescued the victims two days after the abduction, but had hitches as the kidnappers were also changing their location.
Spokesman for the Estate Association who confirmed the release of the victims, said they got home at the wee hours of Friday.
“We thank God. They have been released. They got home late. I don’t have much details now,” he said.
Reality TV Star, Rob Kardashian has told his fiancée Blac Chyna that he never wants their daughter who is due on November 16 – to be a stripper like she was.
He statement was made during a preview for Sunday’s episode of their E! series, Rob & Chyna when the couple went back Sensationals, the Washington, DC, gentleman’s club where the 28-year-old beauty’s stripping career began.
The 29-year-old reality star said:
‘If I ever catch my daughter up in here, boy.’ He also told the future Mrs Kardashian: ‘I don’t ever want you going back here again.’
Chyna got a bit sentimental and brought Rob (along with friends and mother Tokyo Toni) to the club.
But the dad-to-be wasn’t enjoying Chyna’s trip down Memory Lane, making clear he felt it was a sleazy environment he was going to keep their child far away from.
But Chyna didn’t flinch at her fiance’s snobbery toward the sultry sirens of the stage.
‘I’m proud of where I came from, and I just wanted to show Rob what I had to go through,’ she said, ‘and the environment that I had to be in to make me this person.’

Police on Wednesday apprehended two men on drugs in south China’s Guangdong right in their car.
The driver and passenger were found sleeping in a vehicle while waiting at a red light. They were so soundly asleep that not even the honking from all the vehicles got held up behind could wake them.

Before long, the men finally came to themselves, and were arrested. Meth substances were later found in their bodies.
The Ogun State Police Command has uncovered a “fraudsters’ den” at Pokuku Village in the Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the state.
The den, which was nicknamed “Pokuku Shrine” was until Wednesday allegedly used by suspected fraudsters to carry out different forms of criminal activities such as fraud, according to the police, Punch reports.
The state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Ilyasu, on Wednesday said the police raided the shrine after an intelligence report on criminal activities being perpetrated there.
The shrine, which is a two-bedroom mud house, is located in the remote part of the village. It contained effigies, fake foreign and local currencies and other fetish objects.
Ilyasu said the shrine was raided by the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, and one of the suspected fraudsters who was said to be the ring leader, Haruna Moshood, was arrested, while three other accomplices escaped.
The police boss said many victims had been duped by the fraudsters, who were also said to be kidnappers.
He said:
“This is a house of horror where different kinds of criminal activities had taken place.
“Following diligent and intelligent information of our special operatives, FSARS stormed this horror house and we discovered that it is a receiving end of kidnapped victims.
“It is also a place where suspected kidnappers dispose property of their victims. We have been able to recover different denominations of fake dollars and nairas.
“By the time we arrived here, we did not see any victim, and some of the suspected kidnappers escaped. However, we were able to arrest one of the leaders, identified as Haruna Moshood.
“I appeal to the state residents to be cautious so that they will not become preys in the hands of criminally-minded people.”
The suspect told Punch Metro that he and other members of his gang were into fraudulent activities, adding that their victims were people looking for quick money.
Moshood said one of them usually hid in one of the rooms and would be talking as an “oracle” to deceive their victims. He said the effigies were also there to deceive their victims.
“We always play on the greed of the victims because they were looking for quick money.
“Again, we also study how wealthy they were by telling them to bring a certain amount of money. For instance, if we ask a victim to bring N100,000 and he brought it, that shows he or she could bring a higher amount.”
The 34-year-old Moshood said he just joined the gang in 2015.
Five Star music CEO and billionaire businessman, Emeka Okonkwo popularly known as E-money, boss shared these lovely photos of his son Chukwuebuka as he turns a year older today.
The billionaire has three sons and Chukwuebuka is the last. He wrote alongside the lovely photos:
“Wow, you’re growing up so quickly. You’re already 3 years old today my son chukwuebuka ! It just seems like yesterday you were 3 days old. Happy 3rd birthday! For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; Amen.”
Tragedy struck at the Ogoja Market, LASU-Igando Road, Lagos State, after operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad shot dead an undergraduate of a polytechnic in Edo State, Eldanojie Joseph.
The 20-year-old business administration student was said to be on a visit to his cousin, Friday Ojah, who lived on Alape Street, Iba Ojo, when he was hit by a stray bullet.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the operatives were chasing a suspected Internet fraudster, identified as Badoo, who had parked his car and fled upon sighting the officers.
The operatives were said to have started shooting sporadically.
The Esan, Edo State indigene, who had reportedly gone out to buy a canned drink with his cousin, was hit by a stray bullet.
He was said to have died on the spot.
Our correspondent was told that the officers took Joseph’s corpse, dumped it in the boot of the suspected fraudster’s car and drove off.
The cousin, Ojah, told our correspondent on Thursday that the police, in order to cover up their misdeed, said Joseph was a cult member.
He explained that Joseph had only arrived in Lagos about three weeks ago.
He said,
“We grew up and attended the same primary and secondary schools together. He gained admission into a polytechnic in Edo State, while I am still processing my admission into the same school.
“Around 9.30am on Monday, we strolled out to buy a can of soft drink. We were returning home when we learnt that some policemen were chasing somebody.
“We decided to go through the back of the market. As we turned back, my brother was hit by a bullet in the head and he fell down immediately.
“As I tried to call for help, I saw that the policeman that shot him had aimed his gun at me. I fled the place immediately.”
He said the officers put the corpse in the boot of the car left by the suspected fraudster and drove away.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the corpse was taken to the SARS headquarters in Ikeja, from where it was taken to a morgue.
Our correspondent was told that the SARS team that conducted the operation alleged that the victim was a cult member and he had attempted to shoot at them when they fired back.
“But it was all lies. He only had the canned drink we bought, a phone charger and a handset on him when the incident happened. The police lied to cover up their misdeed,” Ojah added.
The policemen on the team that killed the victim were identified as Lucky, Oganla.
A legal practitioner and family friend of the victim, Saheed Sanni, decried the killing, saying the policemen must be arrested and brought to book.
He said,
“Cases like this, involving SARS officers, have become rampant in the state. They kill with impunity and believe they can always get away with it. Whereas Section 33 of the 1999 Constitution protects the sanctity of human lives and prescribes punishment for violation of that sanctity.
You cannot just take anybody’s life without a court order or judgment. We are taking up the case and justice must be done.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said she had yet to be briefed on the incident, adding that she would get back as soon as the Officer-in-Charge of SARS briefed her.
She said, “The OC SARS has yet to brief the command on that issue and he has been directed to do so. I will get back as soon as I have the facts of the case.”
A girl was found motionless at Allen behind Alade Market yesterday – Facebook user, Hon Gabriel who shared the story, says he had to call 767 and waited 2 hrs for the Lagos state Emergency service to come to her aid.
As the story of this couple keeps unfolding, one is left with no choice than to be skeptical on the whole issue but who are we to judge?! We only know what we read and see on Social media.

Well, bayo has come out with hot new photos and has written a heartfelt open letter to the public and most especially his haters.
In the letter bayo revealed to the public that he’s still a virgin and has no tolerance for homophobic people.
Read Below:
‘My life is fairly bland, but it belongs to me, I’m not popular but my friends are more than enough, saying and doing what I want and when I want. I can hide my emotions better than anyone I know. I fight, face and destroy, standing up for what I believe in. I have no tolerance for rude, racist and homophobic people.’
‘ I won’t admit my faults but I do know I make mistakes, I am the sunrise after a sleepless night blinding your eyes. If we acknowledge that physical appearance is your primary scale value, we have to acknowledge and respect everyone’s choice in life as equals because if everyone is beautiful or everyone can be beautiful or everyone is beautiful to someone it’s okay to base our entire civilization on hot or Not.’
‘I’m a virgin… I am one of a kind that’s me, I am quite a find with a mix of colour in my hair, a twinkle in my eyes, oh don’t you see? I can catch a ball and perform talents because I know I got greatness within me.’
‘I can dance a jig and still do a dab, watch me learn and watch me grow. I can act, Did you know? I am unique and wonderful , I am simply Me. I don’t care what you say about me, its just that you are not as good as me.’
I am a model, Did you know? There is a better way of looking at your critics .Tell them you are not who they say you are but you are what you are. I want to go out with my head erect.’
‘I want to deserve all men’s respect, I want to be able to title myself now to everyone out there. say to yourselves “I am the best” I am legend. Remember “CONFESSION is POSSESSION.
Dear Romeo I am no Juliet, I am simply Me……BAYO. Anyone who can’t see the good in me, I am hugging them right now because I know its quite difficult being blind….! ‘
