A shocking incident has left residents of Mempeasem, near East Legon in Accra, in shock, after a 20-year-old woman allegedly beat her three-year-old step daughter to death.
According to AdomNews, Judith Atatsi, unemployed, is said to have used her shoe to beat the girl for playing with electrical gadgets.
The victim, after sustaining injuries, was left in the room of her father until she died. The father of the girl, according to reports, was outside Accra when the incident occurred.
She was found lying in a supine position with blood stains all over the body on the bed of her father.
The body of the child, found with various marks and wounds, has since been deposited at the Police Hospital mortuary pending autopsy.
Narrating the incident to DAILY GUIDE, the East Legon District Crime Officer, DSP Belinda Banini, said the suspect was arrested following a complaint by the mother of the victim, Felicia Abotse that her former husband had called her from the Upper East Region to inform her that her daughter had died and so she should go to his house at Mempeasem to convey the body to and needed police assistance.
DSP Belinda Banini said when the police accompanied the woman to the house at Mempeasem, they found the body lying on a bed with blood stains on it.
According to the police, the mother of the child claimed that the father of the child took her from her (mother) in December 2015 to spend the weekend with her paternal grandmother at Takoradi in the Western Region.
She said the father later refused to bring back the child.
DSP Belinda Banini said the mother claimed that all efforts to see the child or inquire about the child on phone proved futile until she received the call on July 16, 2016 that her daughter had died.
Suspect’s statement
Judith Atatsi, upon investigation, said she used a piece of stick to hit the girl and not shoe. She said she went out to withdraw some money and upon her return, she discovered that the girl was playing with the electrical gadgets and used the stick to beat her up.
She later abandoned the girl in her father’s room until she died before the father was informed. However, police investigations showed that Atatsi used the heels of her shoe which was found with blood stains on it, to assault the kid.
Further investigations revealed that the child’s father, after separating with the mother, brought his girlfriend from Takoradi to take care of his daughter while he travelled to Bolgatanga to work.
The man, said to be a supervisor in a private company, reportedly shuffles between Accra and Takoradi.
Madam Felicia Abotsi, mother of the deceased, in an interview, said she had been calling the father of her child to plead with him to allow her to talk to her daughter on phone “but he usually gives excuses that he is either at work or the child had gone to school.”

On Thursday, July 14, a 28-year-old man Ndifreke Ibuotenang claimed he was arrested and brutalized by a group of policemen attached to Mkpat Enin police division, Akwa Ibom state.
Ibuotenang revealed that he was brutalized by the police while he was returning from his palm wine joint around 9pm, leaving his two eyes seriously injured.
He said he was released after the payment of N10, 000 bail. When contacted, the state Police Commissioner, Murtala Mani said the police had already commenced investigation into the case and all the policemen involved were in detention at the police headquarters in the state.
A man who got enraged after his girlfriend came to see him while on her period has shown his anger in some really evil way.
The man got really angry with his girlfriend after she visited him while on her menstrual cycle and beat her to death.
The man beat her to death because she would not let them get intimate.
According to South Africa Latest News, the events leading to the gruesome murder suggest that the lady, Ntabiseng of Soshanguve in Pretoria visited her boyfriend, Nkululeko of Durban, some 560km away for the weekend.
However, what Ntabiseng did not tell her boyfriend was that she was having her monthly periods and therefore it meant they would not get intimate. This did not go down well with Nkululeko who grabbed a wheel spanner and struck his lady on the forehead.
She collapsed and died on the scene.
An eye witness said Nkululeko was looking forward to some quality time with Ntabiseng and had even asked his boss where he works as a mechanic for some time off that weekend.
“He even bought some viagra and was telling us how he was going to have quality time,” a friend said. “I was shocked to hear of what had happened. Guess he snapped”
Neighbors says Nkululeko was generally a quiet nice guy and this was actually the first time they had seen him with a girl. An ambulance was called and Ntabiseng was declared dead on scene.
Police eventually arrived and arrested Nkululeko who was sobbing uncontrollably.
‘King of Ghanaian comedy’, Derrick Kobina Bonney, popularly known as DKB has said men have all the rights in this world to cheat on their women.
According to him, because men are responsible for buying the woman a wedding ring and also foot the bill for the wedding, it should not be seen as wrong if they cheat on their wives.
He made the assertion during a program on Joy FM. His words:
“Men can cheat because we bought the wedding ring and we organised the wedding and you bear our surname. Even the word bride means a cook. When you find the man cheating, you leave him to God because that was what our mother and grandmothers did.”

A while ago, the script interpreter shared a photo of herself with some snakes around her body, yet she was full of smiles.
Although, according to her it was a shot from a movie she did a while ago, but her fans were wondering how she could boldly hold snakes with so much smiles on her face.

Knowing when you’re in love can be a bit tricky, especially if you just started dating. Some experts say that, after two months, it’s okay to finally say those three little words.
But judging from the thousands of testimonies saying that time varies for each person, it’s safe to say that you don’t have to wait for two months—or you might have to wait longer than that.
It’s not all that reassuring, but hear us out. No matter how long it takes for you to fall in love, it is worth more than the waiting time you invest. Falling in love is the best feeling in the world; that’s why it’s always best to pace yourself until you find the real thing.
What does it feel like to be in love?
For one thing, it feels awesome. Being in love means that you feel happier rather than sad and that the source of that happiness mostly comes from the person you love. There are different ways a person can feel love, but it usually starts with rollercoasters in your chest or stomach. It’s a physical reaction that tells you that you feel strongly about someone.
It could be infatuation, but that’s how love usually starts. Still, it’s your job to keep it alive…until the day comes when you’re finally sure that it is, indeed, real love.
Aside from that, you can also feel that you’re falling in love gradually. It isn’t as strong as a sudden jolt to your system, but a slowly-increasing level of intimacy will lead you to the same path.
You can’t control which category you fall into, or whether or not your partner will feel the same way. All you can do is sit tight and wait for those fuzzy feeling to overwhelm you—in a good way.
How do you know if you’re in love?

A doctor allegedly raped a woman during an abortion procedure two weeks after he masturbated in front of her during a physical examination, a court has heard.
According to Tribune 242, after Dr. Gerald Mark Forbes informed the 20-year-old she would need a medical examination to work at his clinic in Freeport, the Bahamas, last February, he was alleged to have rubbed her vagina and masturbated before her.
The report added that two week’s later, after the victim asked him to terminate a pregnancy, he was accused of raping her during the procedure.
The 47-year-old is also said to have given the alleged victim a packet of Methotrexate, a drug used to induce abortions.
The defendant told the police as heard by the Grand Bahama Court that the woman was a ‘friend of a friend’, who simply worked at his office for two months. He denied the allegations of rape and indecent assault.
However, he refused to answer officers when asked about the alleged incidents, telling them he ‘had nothing to say’.
The court was told that in a WhatsApp exchange that took place after the alleged rape, the doctor told the woman he didn’t owe her salary because he had provided her with medication.
During the police interview an officer told him, “The virtual complainant informed you that she will not return to work because she was uncomfortable that you violated her, and you said you were sorry she felt that way and you told her to still come in for follow-up and medication.”

Hell was let loose at the Lagooz Schools on Omotoye Estate, Orile Agege, Lagos after some hoodlums who are said to be Teenagers invaded the school premises.
PUNCH Metro learnt that some Hausa teenagers, numbering about 100, stormed the school with machetes and other weapons.
They were said to have attacked the school’s principal and a teacher, identified as Uncle John, during a free-for-all which lasted for about two hours.
Punch Reports that that the rampaging youths, aside damaging some property of the school, allegedly made away with N1.5m.
Policemen from the Elere divison, operatives of the Special Anti-robbery Squad and some members of the Oodua People’s Congress, were said to have repelled the attack as residents fled the area.
Our correspondent was told that seven of the hoodlums were arrested, while others escaped after SARS operatives opened fire on them.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said trouble started when the school finished its valedictory service party on Saturday, but the teenagers refused to leave the school premises.
He said:
“They were actually relatives of some of the school-leavers. The valedictory service party ended around 5pm, but they refused to leave. A teacher, Uncle John, tried to force them out. One of them abused the teacher and ran away.
“The teacher, who was embarrassed by the abuse, held one of the Hausa teenagers. There was a struggle between them. As the teacher hit the man, he also fought back and held the teacher by the neck, almost strangulating him.
“The principal, who wanted to settle the fight, was held by the tie by one of the intruders and beaten up. The principal’s brother, who wanted to rescue him, was given a fist blow in the eye.”
Punch correspondent was told that the teenagers damaged about four dozen of the chairs used for the party. Three of them were later apprehended by the school.
Those apprehended were reportedly held hostage in a classroom, while the others wreaked havoc on the school premises.
A source told PUNCH Metro that the apprehended teenagers, however, mobilised more gang members into the community on the telephone.
He said:
“Those boys had their phones and they started calling their friends, who trooped into the school with cutlasses and weapons.
“Policemen at the school’s gate prevented them from gaining entrance as they shot into the air. The hoodlums, however, grew in number, which overwhelmed the security agents.
“Despite the gunshots, the teenagers refused to go. In fact, while some of them knelt, others prostrated and were begging the police to shoot at them. They were saying, ‘Please shoot us; we want to die’.”
It was gathered that some OPC members later came out with weapons and engaged the hoodlums.
The proprietor of the school was reported to have called for reinforcement from SARS operatives, who stormed the community.
“The SARS operatives started shooting into the air. They chased the teenagers and arrested seven of them. They also seized their motorcycles and recovered some of the weapons they brought,” another source said.
It was learnt that some Hausa leaders had visited the school and held a truce meeting with the management.
The Proprietor of the school, Chief Yomi Otubela, said it was only a minor disagreement among pupils of the school.
He said:
“The issue was about some teenagers who had issues with themselves on where to park their cars. The police that were on duty at the school gate actually mediated. No school property was damaged; nothing happened during our valedictory service.”
But the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the attack, adding that seven suspects had been arrested.
She said:
“Some hoodlums entered the school’s premises and destroyed some property. They allegedly made away with N1.5m.
“Our operatives from the Elere divison were contacted and they swiftly moved in and arrested seven of the suspects.
The suspects have been handed over to the Area G headquarters for further investigation.”
Following reports that Mama Africa, Yemi Alade might be in a romantic relationship with her manager, Taiye Aliyu, the singer addresses the issue.
In a recent interview with newsmen, Yemi Alade says the question of dating her manager should not have come up in the first place if she had a female manager.
In the entertainment industry, it is more likely for an artiste to have some sort of bond with their manager, considering the fact that they are always together, through good times and bad times. It is therefore nothing new for stars to date their managers.
Tiwa Savage had an affair with her manager, although it ended in the altar, the final end is yet to be deciphered. A few weeks back, rumours had it that Starboy Wizkid might be having an affair with his manager, Jada P. Keeping all these in mind, Yemi Alade surely knows what is best for her and her career and so she debunks the rumour of dating her manager, without necessarily stating the fact.
Read excerpts below:
On dating her manager: Male Managers no be human being? The managers are there to take care of the careers. But seriously, if I had a female manager would you be asking me all these?
On being a Nairabox ambassador: I’m happy. Being a Nairabox Ambassador doesn’t hurt anybody, so why would I say no. It’s a cool trend. I like to be part of trend setting people, so that’s one of the reasons I accepted the deal.
On keeping up with male entertainers: The pressure is there because I have to keep up with what my male counterparts are doing. It’s also tough and challenging because in African the women are always looked down upon. There’s a lot of physical and psychological issues that we tackle as African female artistes whether you are A’ List or Z list. Well, I have chosen to be on God’s list.
On attending the BET Awards: BET is a big award ceremony and African categories had just 6. We all know that in Nigeria alone, we have over 15 popular artistes that are doing well; both male and female. Then in the whole Africa, I was picked amongst the first 6 in three different categories year after year which means that i’m doing something very good. I didn’t come back dry. I was next to Beyonce and her likes.

Anyways, pictured above is Mera who was attacked by her estranged boyfriend many years ago during a domestic dispute.

It because of this that the singer’s marital status and love life has been under speculation for a quite a while now – the “Made For You” crooner has now come out to say that he won’t reveal the identity of his partner until his wedding day.
On the latest episode of “Da Chat” on HFTV, he revealed that he felt no undue pressure to be married simply because everyone else is, he also maintained that he would keep the identity of his partner hidden till the wedding day.
Banky is quoted as saying:
“Until I walk down the aisle with somebody, I’m never going to talk about somebody that I’ve been with. I don’t think it’s fair to the person because you open that person up. Me, I can take the criticism and the comments on the internet and all of that stuff but somebody else that isn’t in that limelight doesn’t necessarily ask for that kind of criticism and backlash and slander and all of that and it’s tough to take for somebody that is not used to it so I don’t think it’s fair.”
The singer also spoke on his relationship with his label artiste, Niyola, his thought that he would have been married by now, amongst other things.
A senior secondary student has accused a police inspector attached to the Mkpat Enin Police Division in Akwa Ibom State of raping her severally at gunpoint.
The ugly incident reportedly took place on Thursday as the 15 year old girl was returning from church, a police team accosted her and the accused inspector pointed his gun at her, saying if she tried to stop him from touching her he would shoot her.
The girl who spoke to PUNCH stated that the inspector then led her away from other members of the team to a dark portion of the road.
The policeman then forcefully caressed her breasts, saying “smally you possess these types of breasts”, she said.
She added:
“After he had forced me to remove my clothes, he ordered me to lie down and open my legs. And what I noticed was that he brought out his penis and inserted it into my vagina.
“As he was romping over me, he forbade me crying as he threatened to shoot me if I should open my mouth.
“But when I could not bear the pains any longer as blood was running out of my private part, he quickly took me into the vehicle and drove to the station, where he detained me from Thursday till Saturday.
“It was my uncle, Dr. Ime Stephen that came from Abuja and bailed me out with N10,000,” she said.
Asked of her mother, she told the publication that she did not know her mom, who left her dad when she was a toddler.
Her dad on the other hand became paralyzed after he fell from a palm tree, and ended up living with her in her uncle’s house.
Her uncle, Stephen, who said the inspector in question was a prosecutor, explained that he could not believe his eyes when the girl pointed at the policeman as the one who raped her from among those who were on duty on that day.
He said,
“The inspector for pointing a gun he was given on trust at a girl of 15 before raping her, lacks the characters of police officers who are meant to protect lives and property of Nigerians.
“He is a fraud by also taking the girl into the police custody for three days and collected N10,000 as bail sum from the girl’s guardian.
“We call for his dismissal from the force so that he can be prosecuted accordingly.”

Ph.D candidate in Oxford University, United Kingdom, and a member of Premium Times editorial board, Zainab Usman, has narrated her ordeal on the recent Nice terrorist attack.
She disclosed that she walked away from the target of the attack 10 minutes before Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhle, the crazed ISIS trucker deliberately drove a cargo truck into crowds celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France, killing 85 people and injuring 303.
“I am one of the lucky ones who had left the Promenade just minutes before the incident,” Ms Usman wrote on Sunday on her blog.
Read the excerpt of her story as shared on her blog and on Facebook.
“I am in a large crowd walking on one of the adjacent streets, at the main city square, Place Massena, heading home, when we see people running from the Promenade, spilling into the square.
“It is frantic. Chaotic. Nothing like I have ever seen. Mothers grab their children. Friends disperse. The crowd sways and moves in all directions, with a collective look of sheer terror. Something is happening. We don’t know what it is. No one knows.
“My Brazilian classmate pulls my arm and urges me to run. I just had a new, ‘revolutionary’ hairdo. It feels heavy and is dragging me behind. Nevertheless, I run into one of the backstreets. Holding my hair with one hand, my handbag with the other, like a cartoon character, feeling scared and ridiculous at the same time.
““We stop. It feels surreal. We actually manage to crack a little laughter amidst all the confusion. We, at least I thought it might have been a false scare. There had been a bomb scare just the week before, a few meters away from my apartment, and the entire area, a 200m radius, had to be cordoned off. No one knows what is happening. Then we start running again. We hear what sounds like gunshots.
Now I’m really scared. I imagine gunmen shooting into the crowd. We run, until I get home, and my classmates disperse.“I am stunned and dazed. Several minutes later, I start receiving phone calls, text messages and emails from my closest friends who knew I was (and still am in Nice for about two weeks now for a summer French course) checking to find out if I was okay. It feels surreal.
“Afterwards, I switch on the TV and check the internet, and gradually realise the gravity of what is happening, and what a close shave I had. As the night wears on, and gives in to daybreak, the details of the terrorist attack emerge. The death toll climbs higher. From ‘dozens’ and ‘twenties’ to fifty, sixty, seventy and eighty. I am more stunned the more I realise how lucky I am to have left that area immediately after the ‘feu d’artifice’ (fireworks display).
“I get to my French language school at 09.00hrs, thankfully, a three minute walk from where I live. The mood is sombre. Many people did not show up. There is no way of knowing if they are safely hiding at home or if they are missing and are among the injured and the dead. People are huddled in corners, crying, shivering, in shock. An American girl is shaking like a leaf. Her face is wet and red. She wants to go back home. Her justified hysteria makes me emotional. The school authorities console us, urge us to be strong, give us precautionary advice. Many people were at the fireworks display. 14 July, was Bastille Day, a national holiday feted by all, which had turned to a national tragedy.
“At mid-day, I go out to buy lunch and grab a newspaper at the city centre, close to the school, and about 15 minutes’ walk from the scene of the attack. The mood is sombre. Most stores are closed. People look downcast, most remain indoors, rightfully so. It is different from the vibrant Nice that is full of life, color, elegance and well-dressed, good looking and tanned people. An otherwise sunny and bustling city is enveloped in an unmistakable blanket of greyness.
“I stay indoors the whole day. Feeling more stunned but surprisingly neither afraid nor hysterical. I can’t believe how lucky I am. As the day wears on, a numbness and heaviness in my heart persists, realising those people who were not so fortunate were in so many ways like me.
“Sometimes I want to cry, but I don’t. The story would have been different if I had stayed at the Promenade for just 10 minutes longer, or if I had decided to walk up a few meters to the famous Hotel Negresco. So close. This realisation gnaws at me still.”

An Edo High Court on Monday sentenced three people to death by hanging over the murder of a three-year-old girl.
The convicts, Betty Stephen, the stepmother, and the two teachers- Johnson Ogbeide and Nancy Aiwuyor, committed the offence on February 24, 2009, at Erhiborhibo village, Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo, NAN reports.
The judge, Justice Geraldine Imadegbelo, in her judgment said the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. She said the prosecution proved that the stepmother gave the three-year-old girl to Ogbeide, who in turn handed over the baby to his colleague, Aiwuyor, to be sold for ritual purposes.
Reviewing the evidence placed before her, the judge said the child was left in the custody of her stepmother by her parents who went to farm on the day the child was killed.
“When the victim’s parents returned, they could not find the child, only for the stepmother to confess that she stole the child to the two other convicts,” she said.
The judge also said that the prosecution established that the victim was sold for N1.5 million, her nine fingers cut off, her hair shaved as directed for the ritual.
According to judge:
“seven years after the victim disappeared in the hands of the convicts without being found, the court was safe to hold that the child was dead.
“The acts of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd accused persons which caused the death of the deceased were unlawful,” Mrs. Imadegbelo said.
The court also sentenced the convicts to 14-year jail term each for the offence of child stealing.

Stunning Nollywood actress, Ronke Oshodi Oke, was a year older few days back and first photos from her birthday party have surfaced online.

Daniel O was about his business on Instagram when he bumped into one of Nigeria’s finest artiste, Sean Tizzle’s photos and he saw something… really interesting.
When Sean Tizzle was still “bright”
He made a keen observation on the skin colour of the artiste which is totally different from what it used to be – recall that months back, photos were brought to you of the singer’s amazing transformation, how he went from dark to fair after he came into limelight.
When Sean Tizzle was still “bright”
Well, it looks like, the singer has ran out of cream, as photos of himself that he’s been sharing on instagram doesn’t look like what he used to look like!
One of the captions of one of his photos, read “What do you mean the money is not ready?!” and Daniel gave me a hard laugh when he said that’s probably the cause of his colour transformation.
You just might agree with us as we share with you side by side photos of the singer’s skin tone below:

Founder of the Living Faith Church of God, AKA Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo‘s first son, David Oyedepo Jnr is the celebration mood with his wife, Kemi as he felicitate with she who is a year older.
The couple got married 8 years ago and the union has been blessed with two children.
The proud father and husband shared some lovely words to his ‘most faithful companion‘. Below is what he wrote:
“Today I want to celebrate one of God’s rare gems on the earth, Kemi Oyedepo.He wrote on his official Facebook page. “Outside of Christ, you have been my most faithful companion. My destiny helper! My greatest cheerleader! My unwavering supporter!
The scriptures say that marriage mirrors Christ and the church; there is no doubt that that mystery is being fulfilled in us. You are one in a million. Uniquely Special and Specially Unique. A comprehensive blessing to all that you meet. I celebrate this day; a day for which my gratitude continues to overrun. To my wife, my best friend, my confidant and companion; Happy Birthday! You are blessed forever! Please help me celebrate God’s gift to me!”
