World renowned Japanese plastic surgeon, Multi-Millionaire, Katsuya Takasu has finally fulfilled his promise to U-23 Dream Team.
Recall, the millionaire earlier promised Coach Samson Siasia and his boys a huge amount of money if they win either Gold, Silver or Bronze in the Men Football Event at Rio.
Apparently, he has finally fulfilled his promise.
He presented a $190k cheque to Mikel Obi and $200k cheque to Samson Siasia, a total of $390k.

Nollywood actor, John Okafor better known as Mr Ibu, is not talking about Nollywood and its challenges anymore as he has now focused his attention more on his family.
He might be a very busy man but his family has always been his top most priority and he has not stopped appreciating how far he has come with his wife there to support him with one hour of prayers.
The actor who some time ago said he is done with child bearing has now made it a duty to continually appreciate his wife for standing by him all through the hard times and each time he expresses his happiness, he has words to qualify her.
Mr Ibu disclosed that the only thing that makes him happy is when he turns his face and see his wife smiling then he knows all is well.
“The only thing that makes me happy is when I look at your face and see you smile. My Heart is settled because she is the contrast of my face,” he said.
While some Nollywood stars have littered their bodies with all kinds of drawings and piercing, Mimi Orjiekwe, tells Ademola Olonilua about why she would not dare write on hers.
From being a beauty queen you became an actor, what influenced that decision?
When I contested for Miss African Queen, one of the judges was a movie director and when he saw me, he convinced me to audition for a role and do my best in it. Even before then, when I was in school, I was always involved in the dramatic club, so when I got the opportunity to audition for a movie, I embraced it. That was how it all started for me.
How was the transition from the runway to television screen?
They are all different forms of entertainment and I have a passion for entertainment. If you love entertainment, you would want to do anything in the field. They are all in the same category. I would say that the major difference between the two is that acting is more emotional, you have to express yourself while acting but when it comes to beauty pageantry, you just have to walk pass people but also try to impress them and not fall in the process.
Why did you decide to go into beauty pageantry?
Being a beautiful girl, a lot of modelling agency approached me to join their agency. A family friend of mine, Temidayo, convinced me to give it a shot. He told me that I could be a beauty queen and I would excel, so I picked the form, competed in a beauty pageant and I won. That was the beginning. After then, I was invited to be a part for an advertising campaign but it was never my turf or what I wanted to do in life.
Since it was fetching you money why didn’t you stick to it?
When I was growing up, I never really had a clear cut idea as to what career path I wanted to toe in life. As a matter of fact, I always wanted to be a lawyer but when modelling and acting came, I dropped that idea. You do not know what God has in stock for you. I was supposed to study Law but it did not work out. I had to study some acting courses and when I got the opportunity to become an actress, I embraced it and I love the limelight.
You won the pageant in 2009 but you have not changed much, how have you been able to maintain your physique?
It is hard to stay in shape because as you grow, you tend to eat more food and if you do not exercise regularly, it would be difficult to keep your shape. Whenever I see any girl who is in shape, I always give them kudos because it means they really worked hard. Sometimes I grow bigger and other times I am slimmer. But I work out a lot and I watch what I eat. However, I have come to realise that it is not about what you eat but the hormones in you. If you want to remain beautiful and keep fit, you have to work hard. One has to work out daily, watch what you eat, embark on regular diets, and maintain your physique.
Has your beauty ever worked against you?
It has opened a lot of doors for me but it can also make people upset. If some people think you are beautiful and feel you don’t have their time or refuse to do their bidding, they get upset. It has happened several times. It is one of the challenges of being beautiful. If you need a favour from a man, he would believe it is the right time to make advances at you.
How often do you get advances from men?
I don’t know how frequent it is but I know that I get advances from men a lot. As a woman, it doesn’t matter whether if you are beautiful or ugly; men would always want to talk to you, so it is up to you to learn how to handle it. You have to be genuinely nice to people because sometimes, they do not want to woo you, they only want to be friends. I handle advances from men as an adult and I am nice to everyone. But if you take it further than friendship, then I will tell you it is impossible.
How do you maintain your skin?
I do not like the sun and if I must walk under the sun, I use an umbrella. I try to always be at places where the air conditioner is on. I use normal body mosturisers, nothing expensive. So I think it is by the grace of God that my skin glows.
How much do you spend on beauty products?
I can’t say I really spend much because I change my soap and cream as soon as they finish and I don’t keep records of that. I don’t use any facial wash or cleanser. I use facial scrub once in a while. I don’t spend much to be beautiful. I think you just have to use the right products on your skin to make it glow.
We have seen women bleach their skin just to be as fair as you, how do you react to that?
It is unfortunate and it happens because people are convinced their creams are good products and would make their skin glow and shine. They buy it, use it, then it burns their skin and they begin to regret their decision. I feel so sorry for them because it is not good for a woman to bleach. Bleaching disgusts men and even people who come around you. I always advise ladies not to patronise those who sell bleaching creams. You should not buy a product that you know nothing about. You need to go for a skin test to know exactly what suits your skin. Our skin is very sensitive and if you use a harsh product on it, it will definitely burn your skin.
How come you don’t have any tattoo?
I cannot draw anything on my body. I see my body as a Ferrari or a Bentley. You will never see anyone write things on such exotic cars. I keep my skin clean, I don’t want any tattoo on my body because I don’t need all that. I think if I inscribe something on my body, at a point, I might not want it any more so I don’t want to do something I would want to remove later in life and may not be able to.
How about extra body piercing?
I come for a very humble Christian background. It is not like there is anything wrong with extra body piercing but I grew up knowing my mother did not have an extra piercing on her body. She is my role model and I do not want to do anything she did not do. As the only daughter in my family, my mother was and still is the only one I look up to. I learnt how to shape my eye brows from her. She did not have an extra piercing. I copied that from her. When I was growing up and saw that my friends had multiple ears piercing, I liked it at a point but I made a decision not to indulge in it because my mother didn’t do it.
Since you were the only girl in your family, weren’t you a tomboy when you were much younger?
When I was in secondary school, people always said that I looked like a boy. We had a drama club in school and I was always asked to play the role of a man because I went to an all-girl’s school. They gave me the role because I acted it very well, all thanks to what my brothers taught me. I remember when I was growing up, we always played football and we wore just our boxers. I was always the goalkeeper and we did a lot of rough play. Then I did not have boobs. But that did not stop me from knowing I was a woman. It was a stage in my life; my early years and I miss those years so much. I did not care if someone was looking at me or what I was wearing. It never really occurred to me that I had to look good. I miss those days but I am happy that we grew into something better today.
What kind of clothes are you comfortable wearing?
I don’t like stress so I like something that is simple. I don’t care who made it, once it is comfortable and it fits very well, then I am good with it.
It seems you do not mind showing off your cleavage…
If you have it, flaunt it. But it does not mean I should show the world everything. I have to look sexy for myself. Nobody is stopping you from showing what you have but don’t look irresponsible.
The Federal Government has stepped up vigilance within the drug supply chains in the country on the circulation of two confirmed falsified versions of Quinine Sulphate.
A statement said the Federal Ministry of Health received a medical alert that the two falsified drugs contain zero active pharmaceutical ingredients.
The statement by Mrs Boade Akinola, Director, Media and Public Relations of the ministry, on Saturday said the drugs were circulating in West and Central Africa.
Akinola said the two version of the drug were circulating in Cameroon and Democratic Republic of Congo.
She said the quinine Sulphate was used in the treatment of malaria.
According to her, the implication of using the falsified one is that it will not be effective and may also lead to other health challenges.
She said one of the fake products was named Quinine Sulfate 300 mg with 1000 Tablets per container, Batch Number 10H05, expiry date 09/2018 and it manufactured 09/2014.
Akinola added that the drug manufactured by Novadina Pharmaceutical Limited, London, United Kingdom was first discovered in Cameroon.
The director said the other version of the fake drug was Quinine Sulphate 300mg with 100 Tablets per container; batch F4387, expiry date 11/18 and its date of manufacture is 12/14.
She explained that the product was manufactured in India by CAD Pharm, and it was discovered in Bunia, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
She advised Nigerians to be vigilant and report to the nearest National Agency for Food and Drug Administration office anywhere the drugs were spotted including hospitals and pharmaceutical shops.

Meet Ibrahim. Unarguably the Tallest Guy in Kwara State Polytechnic, Kwara…and if not the Longest in Nigeria sef. Okay…No He’s Not..There’s someone who is taller from Lagos State- See Here
He is Abubakar Ibrahim…But he’s popularly known as “Opa” (Opa is Yoruba..which means “Rod”). He is unarguably the longest guy in Kwara State polytechnic and arguably the longest in Kwara State.
I also can’t wait for my big day – To marry a virgin wife……and Yes Marry as a Virgin. Lol
Apparently, in Nigeria, it’s customary for guys to think that all Ladies have one time being drilled at one point in their lives..I was discussing with someone the other day, and he said: “All Girls and Guys in Nigeria aren’t virgin..that he trusts no one..not even his sister or junior brother”…I slapped him, because he was staring at one. Yes! Me!
Anyway, here’s a beautiful story of Akinade and Olufunto, 28, 24, who met and fell in love in 2012!..and they married a virgin…
Continue…
It’s unfashionable for people to wait for sex until marriage. But these people kept their virginity until the big day (or night).
Their names are Akinade and Olufunto. They do not follow the fashion, but rather stick with the Word of God. That is why the couple was able to preserve their purity and virginity for so long. They believe the truth about being temples of God.
The couple met in 2012 during a seminar. They did not hurry and decided to make sure: they both fall in line with what God has for them. Here is what they say:
“Love is patient… A year, right?”
They were praying and reading the Bible, waiting upon the Lord. And only in 7 months they entered the relationship and started dating. Some people think such decisions are foolish, but in reality, it’s stupid to pick a mate for your life in a hurry.
Both of them have strong personalities, so they took their time to get used to one another and to tune up. They worked hard to make the relationship work for them.
Many people today complain saying: she does not work for me! That’s not true. Mostly it’s you failing to work on your relations!
Finally, the man decided to propose and made it very romantically. It’s important to store up as many positive memories as you can for your future life to help you two overcome the troubles.
Pregnancy is an unforgettable experience, especially if it is the first one. Meet Keturah Antongiorgi, a 26-year-old U.S. Army officer stationed in Texas who soon will become a mother.

More than thousands times re-twitted photos! Stunning, gorgeous, breathtaking! You can add as many adjectives as you want, but those beautiful photos are going viral now!
“Nine months seems like a long time, but it goes by so fast,” she said.
“Cherish the moment and do little things that are valuable to you — something you can look back on and cherish and say, you know what? I’m glad I was able to seize this opportunity and appreciate this moment.”
When she shared this SnapChat photo of her having a cocktail with someone and filtered it with an heart sign, I knew for sure, something was going down with the media personality.

An unusual situation came to play yesterday at the Okigwe Road roundabout, Owerri, when a man slumped and died while having a heated argument with his friend.
The deceased, whose name could not be ascertained before press time, was said to be a block moulder and hailed from one of the communities in Ngor Okpala local council area of Imo State.
According to a man who claimed to have witnessed the entire incident said, the duo were arguing over a possible business transaction.
“From the way the argument flowed, they obviously had a transaction that probably went sour. There were no exchange of blows and I can’t remember hearing any of them threatening the other, but one of them slumped and died”, the man recounted with shock.
According to Vanguard, shortly after the deceased slumped, some sympathisers rushed him to the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, where he was confirmed dead on arrival.
However, it was also gathered that the dead man’s friend, who was identified as Dozie Eze, from Orodo, Mbaitoli local government area of the state, is said to be answering a few questions at the State Police Headquarters, Owerri.
Speaking to no one in particular, a relation of the suspect, Mr. Iyke Eze, fumed that “Dozie is being persecuted for no just cause, especially as those at the scene of the incident have testified that there was no exchange of blows before the man slumped and died”.
When contacted on his mobile line, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, confirmed the incident.
“Yes, such a thing happened. However the report available to me is that somebody slumped and later died”, Enwerem said.
Continuing, the PPRO said that it has not been established that there was a fight or verbal threat before the deceased slumped and died.
When asked to confirm if anybody was detained in connection with the incident, the PPRO said he was not aware of such a development.
“I am not aware that anybody was detained in connection with the incident. There are necessary indices that must be established before the police detains any suspect. The instant case can’t be one of them”, Enwerem explained.
A man who shocked many in India by leaving his wife and marrying his mother-in-law has now realized his foolishness and filed for divorce.
The man identified as Suraj Mahto, 22, came to limelight after he abandoned his wife Lalita and married her mother, 42-year-old Asha Devi. According to reports, the unusual affair began when Mrs Devi came to stay with the couple in the village of Puraini in the impoverished state of Bihar last year.
It was gathered that Devi looked after Mr Mahto when he became ill and they fell in forbidden love. After the mother-in-law returned home, he would call her and they would talk for hours on the phone and would also visit her at her home.
When Lalita found out about the affair she told her mother to stay away but she refused; even the girl’s father could not do anything to stop the forbidden affair.
Even though everyone in the village frowned at the forbidden love, the couple eloped and married on June 1 this year in nearby Dhamdaha. Two months on the couple have both realised they have made a crazy mistake.
The Gulf News reported that Mr Mahto said: ‘I have come to realise my folly now. I admit I have committed the mistake but will never repeat in future.
‘Now, I no longer treat her as my wife. Rather, I have started paying her regard as a mother.’
He said he would go on bended knee and beg Lalita to have him back. The couple have a son together.
Mrs Devi is also seeking to undo her actions.
She said of Mr Mahto: ‘No longer do I treat him as my husband but as a son-in-law. We have already a filed divorce petition in the court and I want to return to my husband as soon as possible.’

Veteran actress Mercy Johnson has finally responded to Nigerians that blasted her for not observing child-spacing after she had 3 children in less than 3 years.
According to Mercy, the criticism didn’t get to her. Rather everyone should “expect baby number 4” soon.
The serial award-winning actress told Punch she had charted a course for her life even before she became famous and she is following her plans:
“I feel that when you haven’t gone through life and you don’t have a bearing in life, that’s when you see certain decisions as unreasonable. Most of these people who make these statements have not even realised what they want to do with their lives yet.
“I had planned my life right from when I was growing up. I arranged my life the way I wanted it to go. And that is why even when I was at the peak of my career and marriage came, I grabbed it because I know age keeps going and time waits for no one.
“It means that I can have all of my four kids and then still get back to shape and come back to what I love to do. So I am not going to say things like, ‘I don’t want to have kids yet’ or ‘I am not going to get married and I want to keep acting because the young shall always grow’, you are not going to be number one forever. That is why when it is time for you to do something, you do it.
Yoruba will always say in their prayers that when the time for a child to talk has come, by the grace of God, she will talk. When it’s time to go to school, he will go to school.
That’s what I’m trying to do. I want to define my life in a way my daughter will want to define her own life,” she said.
She further explained how she has been able to joggle her career, motherhood and marriage.
“I think what has got me this far is placing my decisions on a scale of preference. I love what I do, I adore my husband, I adore my kids, so every time I have to make a decision, I pick which is more important, and I start from there. I understand the home front is more important so I manage my home and create time to do what I have to do. I think that has helped me get this far,” she said.

Hehe… What do foreign ladies have on us Nigerian men though? What did we ever do for you to be scared of us this way? It’s not our fault we are sweet talkers, charming, handsome and ambitious men… we were born this way!!!
This short haired Ghanaian model, Ohwawa, has warned her followers to beware of Nigerian men saying they should run away from them if they ever encounter them.
We don’t know why… but it’s certainly because she had an experience with either one or two. See the video below:

Cheating is an ordeal most people don’t want to experience. Give them a thieving partner and they may be just fin. The lying, cheating partner they just can’t take.
When your partner cheats on you with another person, it is involves more a mere bruising of your emotions.
It is even more traumatizing if your partner cheats on you over a sustained period of time. In fact, some people never recover from the infidelity of their partners.
It is possible that you will never stop asking what you did that made them cheat on you. Were they really that unhappy, or were they just born to cheat?
These are a few signs that can help save you from the unpleasant shock at the discovery of your partner’s unfaithfulness.
1. If you think he/she is cheating, he/she most likely is
If you keep getting the nagging sensation that your partner is cheating on you, chances are he/she is. It is possible that you’re just being insecure and possibly, crazy. But Nature gave you your instincts for a reason, so they may not be wrong after all.
You have trusted your instincts on a number of occasions; this situation may not be so different from the countless times your instincts were proven right. There is one thing to remember, however.
If you’re suspicions are based on just your instincts, it will be wiser to hold on to your confrontations until you have substantial evidence to build your case.
2. The no-discussion-friend
If your partner has a friend of the opposite sex who they are unwilling to talk about with you, there is the likelihood that they are engaged in an affair with this friend.
Or planning to, at least. If your partner gets agitated, uncomfortable and defensive every time you bring up this friend in casual conversations, then you have every suspicious to be suspicious.
A mother has become an Internet sensation after using an amazing illustration to teach her daughter about the importance of the power of words in life.

An Upcoming Nollywood actress has been accused of destroying her friend’s property worth over N500,000.
The actress, Nazo Okezie, reportedly engaged one of her friends in an argument and fight, causing her friend to call her out on social media.
The friend identified as Chinenye Nwankwo, accused Nazo of destroying her belongings following their fallout.
According to her, the fact that she and Nazo have been friends for over years, didn’t stop her from destroying her property, despite the fact that she provided the roof over their heads. Read what she said below:
“Last year, I was about to move into a new place in lekki that was for N550k a year,my friend Nazo who has been my friend for ten years now asked to add N100k to the money so that she could stay over in my house whenever she was in lagos so I accepted and took the money from her because I felt we were friends and all.
She has come to the house twice for extended stay and on this third visit, we had issue and this was because she has this friend who I did not like her constant visit to the house as she made me uncomfortable with her visits so I told her that I did not want the girl coming to the house.
That was the beginning of our riff to the extent that she threatened to beat me up in my house so i had to leave my house for her. Then last week i packed her belongings in my house and sent it through my cab man to her and she told the cab to return the bags to me, but I had also told the estate securities not to allow her into the house again.
After that, i got a call from the police to report to their office which i did and on getting there she had told them that I stole her $1,000. We were in the police for days till they asked me to sign an agreement that since my house rent was expiring on the 17th of August, 2016, I should allow her to stay till 17th and she leaves then.
I asked if I could even refund her half of the N100k so she can leave and she refused. So when my rent expired on the 17th I renewed my rent and just today I went out to buy some things only to come home and see all my bags and shoes shredded to pieces, all my clothes too. I did not do anything to Naza to deserve this. Nobody deserves this at all.”

The quest for two sisters in Jos, Plateau State, to confront the man who impregnated one of them resulted in a fatal death of the elder sister, reports AGABUS PWANAGBA in Jos
The popular saying “there is a thin line between love and hate” was what played out between two lovers who have been dating for the past 9 years as love crossed the thin line to become hate. It was sometime in July, 2016, when an incident occurred at Sabon Gari, Tudun Wada, a suburb in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, where two sisters, Justina Dusu Chado and Simi Dusu Chado were alleged to have clashed at a man’s house, by the name Stephen Shut Jang.
The two women in their late twenties were said to have fought, cutting themselves with glass and mirror, leading to the death of the elder sister, Simi while the younger sister miraculously survived and she is currently responding to treatment in a hospital.
However, investigations by THE AUTHORITY revealed that the two sisters were actually victims of the wickedness of one Mr. Stephen Shut Jang, who was alleged to have butchered the two sisters with a machete when the duo went to confront him about the pregnancy of Justina whom he was dating and who became pregnant for him.
The victim who survived the gory incident, Miss Justina Dusu Chado narrated their ordeal from her hospital bed thus:
“I met Stephen in 2007 during the new year celebrations.
I was in GSS Mai Idon Doruwa in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State and Stephen used to visit me in School. After my secondary school in 2009, I left Jos for Abuja and we were communicating on phone throughout my stay in Abuja until May 2016 that I returned to Jos.
“After coming back, I asked him if the relationship was going to lead to marriage because, while in Abuja, someone else was asking for my hand in marriage but I told person that I had a boyfriend and so, till I hear from him first.
“So, I asked Stephen if he was ready for marriage or I should accept the other man’s proposal, but he said that he was still working on it, that I shouldn’t worry. This conversation took place the first time I visited his house at Sabon Gari, Tudun Wada -Jos.
“After that, I visited his house three times to see him. That was when I discovered that I was pregnant. I told him about the pregnancy and he asked me to abort it but I told him I cannot do it as I did’t know how to do such a thing. So he flared up, insisting that I must terminate the pregnancy, so I left. Since then, he stopped picking my calls.
“My elder sister, Simi discovered the pregnancy and called him, and because he didn’t know her number, he picked the call. She asked him why he wasn’t picking my calls ever since he discovered I’m was pregnant for him but he told her to please calm down and that he would call us both to sit down and talk about it. After that call, he also stopped picking my sister’s calls too.
“My elder sister Simi and I decided to go to Stephen’s house, but he wasn’t at home. After waiting for about an hour and calling him several times but he did not pick, we left his house. “On our way going, we met him on the road and started talking to him about the issue, but he insisted that we should go back to the house and talk as the matter is a serious one that should not be discussed by the road side; so we agreed and followed him back to his house.
“On reaching the house, I told him that I have come to stay since I’m pregnant for him and as he was not picking my calls and that he should go and inform him parents. I just said that to startle him, so he told my elder sister to please excuse us so we can have a heart-to-heart talk and she went out of the room with her phone that had been ringing.
“The next thing, he locked the door, carried a machete and started cutting my face while kicking my stomach with his leg. I started shouting for help and my sister came knocking, begging him to please open the door but he refused.
“She had to break the door to enter the room in order to help me but immediately she entered, he turned on her and started butchering her with the same machete while I lay helplessly on the floor.
“The next thing I can remember after that was waking up to discover that I’m in the hospital; after asking where I was and what happened. It was later that I was able to recollect what happened at Stephen Shut Jang’s house and how he butchered my sister and I with machete.”
Mrs. Rifkatu Yusuf, elder sister to both Simi and Justina who is married and lives at Bukuru, Jos South LGA, in an interview with THE AUTHORITY, said the story making rounds that her two sisters clashed at a man’s house and fought, tearing themselves into pieces with mirror in his room, while he, Stephen, was out buying drinks for them is “a cooked up propaganda by Stephen Shut Jang to cover up the sins and evil he did on my sisters and painting it in a different way.
According to her, there was no way two people will fight each other and inflict these level of cuts on one another with a mirror without having cuts on their hands.
Mrs. Yusuf who is demanding that justice should be done, said the incident happened the very first time Simi is even meeting him and as such, Stephen never knew her prior to that day, talk more of her fighting with her younger sister over a man. She said Stephen Shut Jang, who is in Police custody would have simply killed them and buried them had the incident happened in the bush.
Also, a relative of the young women, Mr. Chado Dusu who is an APC Chieftain in Barkin Ladi LGA, described the two sisters, especially the Late Simi Chado as a very peaceful, compassionate and considerate.
“As a family, we have been cheated already and nothing can bring our sister back to life but all we want now is that the law should take its cause and justice be done.
“This is why we are calling on the Plateau State Government, the Nigeria Police Force, Human Rights activists, CSOs and all other relevant authorities to pick up the matter in the interest of justice.
In his reaction, the Village Head of Kanang, Foron District of Barkin Ladi LGA, where the victims hail from, Da Dung Gwom also told THE AUTHORITY that with the love the Dusu Chado familiy have for each other, there is no way the two sisters would fight each other in such a manner.
The traditional ruler added that,
“life is sacred and whoever takes the life of another should not be allowed to live if our justice system must work.”
However, Mr. & Mrs. Iliya Dusu Chado parents of the victims, prayed for the soul of late Simi, who they said was the bread winner in the family, to find rest and for quick recovery of Justina who is still recuperating in the hospital.
They also reiterated that the culprit must be brought to book to stop him from doing same to other people’s daughters; as there are reports indicating that this is not the first time Stephen Shut Jang is doing such a thing.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer of Plateau State Command, ASP Tyopev Mathias Terna, in an interview with THE AUTHORITY, said:
“We received a report sometime in July, this year that one Stephen Shut Jang, attacked two sisters who came to his house, both were taken to the hospital, one died and the other survived. But in the interim he was thinking that both of them were dead, because of the severity of the attack he carried out on them.”
Terna further explained that, “Later on the sister who we later discovered was pregnant for him had came to ask him to take responsibility but he refused and started beating her and attacked her with a cutlass; who later on survived, but it was the elder sister who followed her to Mr. Jang’s house that died.”
However, “when he was confronted with the fact that the other one survived, he now opened up, that he really attacked them, but it was the devil that pushed him into attacking them.”
The PPRO assured that investigation into the matter is ongoing, adding that the case would soon be transferred to the State CID, for further investigation and possibly he should be charged to court as soon as possible.
According to the Police Spokesperson, “What actually delayed the investigation was that he was so vehement that the two sisters were fighting over him. It was later when he discovered that the girlfriend who was pregnant survived, that he opened up.
“From my own understanding, it was very impossible for two sisters to fight especially to that extent over a man that was why we persisted. Some people came for him to be released on bail, but we insisted, that since human life is involved, we must get to the root of the matter. And now that the mystery behind it has been unraveled, he would be charge to court very soon.”
On the insinuation that the police are intending to free him or release him on bail, Terna said it was not true, noting that “it’s just a mere allegation aimed to dent our name. We are a set of responsible people; we cannot do a thing like that. “So we are assuring members of the public that, very soon Jang would be charge to court.”
