Two years ago, self-acclaimed Musical Taliban, Oritsefemi, announced to the public that he had moved into a N200m mansion in the posh Lekki area of Lagos.
Everyone was so happy to receive the news as many said it was the beginning of many more good things to come in his life.
So many people even thought the property was his since that year had been good to him as he was all over the country performing his songs at elite events.
However, it came as a shock when news made rounds a few weeks ago that the singer was facing ejection from the said apartment. It was alleged that Oritsefemi’s landlord had threatened to throw him out from his property after he had failed to pay the rent which was due some months ago.
Story went viral that Oritsefemi, who was out of the country for a while, had since returned but was avoiding the landlord who had vowed to effect the quit notice by the end of May if the singer failed to pay his rent.
Debunking the reports, the singer said there was no iota of truth in the story as he was calling from the house, claiming that he had no problem with his landlord that they are like “Five and Six”.
“There is no iota of truth in the story and I was never threatened with ejection letter from my landlord. I don’t know where the story emanated from but it is a blatant lie. I went for my Europe tour and I returned about a week ago only to see this news all over blogs. I toured about 13 countries. I am inside my house as we speak on the phone. My landlord and I are like 5 and 6, we are very close. The news is totally false. I don’t have any issues with my landlord, in fact, he was surprised that I had not called him in a while and I told him I went for my Europe tour. The man is a high ranking police officer.
“I just got back from my tour and I have enough money, I cannot be broke. The tour was successful and everywhere was sold out. All our shows were sold out, so I cannot be unfortunate to be that broke. As I got back to Nigeria, I began work because I was booked at different gigs,” he said.
Few feeks ago, heavily endowed popular Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph, incurred the wrath of many of her fans and followers after she posted a boobs-baring photo (above) as friends and foes bashed her unapologetically online and social media.
In a recent chat with Punch’s Saturday Beats, Anita said she didn’t care about the negative comments she got because she believed most of the men who abused her got turned on just by looking at her photo.
“I just joined Instagram in April and I have been very active. I am aware that a picture I posted that showed my cleavage attracted a lot of attention. Some Nigerians are hypocrites and pretenders. A lot of them used that picture to masturbate and feel good, yet condemn it. The last time I checked, my boobs are still strong and beautiful,” she said.
The endowed actress added that the picture was not a recent one and her intention was not to tease men with it.
“I did not post the picture to tease men. I took that picture December 2015 while I was filming at Lekki. The weather was very hot, so I decided to take the picture. I was very tired that day and you can see it on my face.
“One day, I innocently uploaded it and by the time I checked my phone again, I had so many messages. I got calls from my friends; some liked it and others did not. At first, I wanted to remove it but when I saw all the comments, both positive and negative, I decided to leave the picture.
“As far as you don’t pay my bills, you have no right to tell me what to do. Only one man will tell me to take the picture down and I will because he pays my bills. He is the one to be obeyed,” she said.
These wedding photos of an African man marrying an elderly foreign woman is currently trending online.
The young man has been labelled ‘a real hustler’ by online users who questioned his love for the aged woman.
Many believe he is just going to use and then dump the woman after the marriage.
Many social media users are making this insinuation because of the obviously gloomy look on the man’s face on what should be one of the happiest days of his life.
The location and nationalities of the couple were not revealed but sketchy reports have it that the woman is over 60 years already while the man is still in his early 30s.
In an exclusive chat with Genevieve magazine, multi-award winning music star, Aituaje Iruobe, popularly known as Waje, has opened up on her misgivings in life as a single mother, stressing that her daughter, Emerald, will not make the same mistakes she made by being put in the family way outside wedlock.
The mother of one, said,
“I’m a mother but I know where to draw the line. It is because I don’t want her to make the same mistakes I made. I feel like some of the decisions I made was because I was raised differently.
“Our parents taught us what they knew as the truth, but what you know as the truth might not be the truth. Another thing is that parents do not tell their children why certain behaviours should be avoided.
“For example, parents say, “don’t drink because I said so” not, “don’t drink because it is bad for your health”; but I’m learning that for the children of this age, you have to tell them all the reasons why they should not do certain things.
“While my daughter was growing up, I took up the reward method; you do good, you get good. There was a consequence for every action,” she said.
“There were many times I really prayed that The One will quicken his steps to make things easier. It did get too much when it is time to pay rent, school fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.
“I had my own share of pillow cries and made sure she doesn’t see it. Sometimes she could come asking, “Why didn’t you and my Dad stay together?” And, when I first moved to Lagos, I couldn’t afford to have my daughter with me because I didn’t have a house; I was squatting with someone. There was a time I saw her like twice a year.
“There were times she cried, mummy I want to come and live with you, but I couldn’t afford it till 2011. Yet looking at my daughter, I will be honest that she is a blessing.
“And the blessing outweighs the challenges. I have learnt to be patient, more accommodating and to pay attention to details as a mom. I have also learnt to map out my priorities, because there are some things I simply cannot do as a mom.”
The sensational singer noted that her baby-daddy wasn’t ready at the time she took in. According to her, “I was young. He was young. Our relationship now is very cordial. We respect each other. He has not always been a part of my daughter’s life until recently.
“He met her last year. When she was quite young he showed interest but my fear was that he won’t be consistent. I didn’t want a situation where he would come in this year and leave the next. So I had to wait till I was sure that he would be there,” she added.
Approximately 5 weeks after his marital woe, Tiwa Savage’s estranged husband, Tunji Balogun Teebillz, has made his first public appearance.
According to Expressng, Teebillz was spotted on Thursday, June 2, at the popular bar, Churchill Bar, in Lekki Phase 1.
He was clad in a black long-sleeved kaftan at about 8pm in the company of a friend. He was said to be looking calm like nothing ever happened as he exchanged greetings with a few recognizable faces. The father of four had time also to exchange some banters with pals.
“The Tee Billz I saw looked very much like his old self. He just came to enjoy himself and looked like somebody who doesn’t have one care in the world,” confided Expressng source.
Shortly after, he retired to the exclusive VIP section with his male partner where they had a nice time with other companies.
Although he is yet to make any major public appearance, it was obvious that he has put the events of the past five weeks behind him.
Muhammad Ali – The greatest of all time died at age 74 on June 3rd 2016. Born Cassius Clay Jr on January 17, 1942, Muhammad Ali began training as early as when he was 12years old.
At the age of 22 he won the world heavy weight championship from Sonny Liston in 1974. The legendary boxer has been suffering from Parkinson’s Disease since 1984 and died at a Phoenix-area hospital where he spent a few days on treatment for respiratory complications.
Below are some photos from the lifetime of Muhammad Ali – The Greatest Boxer Of All Time:
I may not have been a fan of boxing, and I surely wouldn’t have thought i will write a piece about something related, well, yeah i am not, however, I am putting this down in honor of a true legend, Muhammad Ali, the man that taught me resilience.
Watching from the screen in our sitting room, i would often see a man who got knocked down repeatedly, yet he never gave up.
At a very young age, i realized it was not just over, being on the ground. Before i learned from Ali, I would always thing it’s best for a man knocked down to stay on the ground, but now, I realized even the ground is not enough to stop a motivated man, this was my first life’s lesson, from Ali.
In honor of him, I’ll be listing 5 things about Muhammad Ali you probably never knew about…
1. Ali Changed His Name More Than Once
According to his biographer, Davis Miller,
“The legend is known that when a young Kentucky-born Cassius Clay joined the Nation of Islam his name was immediately changed to the now iconic Muhammad Ali,” Miller says. “But few know that his first name change was to Cassius X.
“It was February 26, 1964 — the morning after he knocked out Sonny Liston. But nearly two weeks later, on March 6, he announced that religious and political leader Elijah Muhammad (who led the Nation of Islam from 1934 until his death in 1975) had given him the new name of Muhammad Ali.”
Bonang Matheba and boyfriend AKA have given their fans one more thing to talk about.
Today, the South African media queen shared a photo of them making out, sending social media on overdrive as this is the first time the power couple would be seen kissing.
Days ago, social media was awash with news that singer Skales and his manager Osagie Osarenkhoe were arrested for defrauding his record company of N13 Million. However, Osagie (as she is popularly known) has spoken up, denying the allegations.
According to the statement she released to Punch, she described the case of one where the rich suppresses the poor. Also, she reveals that she has been asked to stop representing him.
Read her:
“The media has been awash with details of the arrest of Nigerian talent manager Osagie Osarenkhoe and pop star Skales. Whereas the information has been skewed to suit the agenda of Baseline and its owner, Segun Adebutu, the truth has now emerged about what transpired, and how the label harassed and detained the pair for almost 36 hours.
However in February of this year, following a meeting between Skales team and baseline team, it was established that the label confirmed the absence of relevant structures and managerial staff, causing delays and miscommunication. For over a year, they have been recording and releasing music, shooting videos, pushing PR and seeking engagements without any input – material or financial from Baseline or any of its reps. We were however surprised that in May, 2016, the label suddenly became interested again in financials and engagement details.
But in respect for a subsisting contract, we agreed to several meetings to discuss issues and agree on a way forward. It was at one of such meetings’, On Tuesday May 31, at Parkview Estate in Lagos, that mobile policemen came in and took Osagie Osarenkhoe to Onikan Zone II Police station.
There has never been, and will never be any basis to conclude that I have been dubious or fraudulent in my dealings with the label. What we have done is to keep our work and lives going on, following inaction from them.
I was made to sign an undertaking that I no longer represent Skales and Aramide, and that a refund will be made to Baseline which is fine by me. My accounts are also being investigated, which is fine. I hope it all passes and we can all move on with our individual lives. I wish Skales and Aramide nothing but the best.”
Premium Times reports that President Buhari is ill and is being treated at the presidential villa.
Read part of the report below:
“The president has an infection in his left ear, otherwise called Meniere Disease, a challenge which has drastically reduced his outings in the last one week. As a result of the infection, the president now suffers hearing impairment and routinely complains of severe pains and unusual sounds from that ear, those familiar with his condition told Premium Times.
Mr. Buhari, who clocked 73 last December, was said to have confirmed it to some dignitaries who visited him in the past days, explaining to some of them that that was why he was unable to visit Lagos and Rivers as scheduled. He was also said to have told some of his guests that he was struggling to give his failing health a major attention.
He is currently being treated by his personal physician and other experts from the State House Clinic, our sources said.
An official said the president might seek treatment abroad if his condition does not improve in the next few days. Despite hearing difficulty, the president, our sources said, managed to attend Jumaat service and host some important visitors, including former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan as well as some clergymen on Friday.
Presidential spokespersons could not be reached to comment for this story on Friday night. While calls to the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, failed to go through, Garba Shehu, the senior special assistant on media and publicity did not answer or return calls.
Recall we brought you reports about how an Igbo Lady was allegedly beheaded in Kano this week for insulting “Prophet Muhammad”…Apparently, a family member has come out to say she wasn’t beheaded but was beaten and stoned to death.
The Family member also revealed she was beaten to death because she asked a Muslim man not to pray in front of her shop.
Read Below:
Mummy Bridget is 74years old. She was seated at her shop at kofar wambai which a market for plastic as at 3-4pm thereabout only for a Muslim guy to come in front of mummy’s shop towards closing time to perform ablution (washing of their feet before their prayers).
Mummy then told him not to do that in front of her shop, instantly he the guy started arguing with her, saying she has insulted Allah for preventing him from performing his ablution. He then went to alert his fellow muslim brothers..
Her husband daddy was with her as at that time. They took her to report the issue to a head in the market..Which was too late because an angry muslim mob were already forming, chanting Allahu Akbar and that she must be killed for blasphemy.. Preventing the young man from performing his ablution was what they termed blasphemy.
Immediately daddy saw it has generated into a mini riot, one of their Alhaji’s drew mummy into his office addressing the crowd that they should calm down and protocols will be followed which they refused and were stoning things at the man in his office.
When they prevailed, they dragged her and her husband. When daddy was sitting down, he was looking at the way they were hitting mummy on her head with iron rods and sticks but he dared not say anyhing if not he will be lynched too. Mummy’s blood was splashing on daddys body as they kept hitting her. Eventually she died.
Then the police came to disperse the crowd and took her body to the mortuary.. As of yesterday, her corpse was lying at Aminu Kano teaching hospital but was to be transferred to a more secured hospital cos the Muslims were saying that they wanted to smuggle into the hospital to get her body then behead her cos that’s their punishment for blasphemy..
Mummy was not beheaded she was beaten and stonned to death.
Yes she’s a member and top leader in Deeper Life Bible church, Kano state..
So, yesterday, late last night…there were reports that there was a kidnap attempt on the mother of the Governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode..but it has been denied.
Read the press statement below:
The Lagos State Governor on Saturday denied media reports claiming that a kidnap attempt was made on his mother, Mrs Christianah Ambode at her residence in Gbagada area of the State on Friday evening.
The governor, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna, denied the media report, saying that it was not a true reflection of what transpired at the residence of his mother. An online newspaper had claimed that heavily armed gunmen invaded the Governor’s mother’s residence and disarmed the octogenarian’s police detail in an apparent attempt to abduct her. The newspaper had further reported that the unfortunate development took place at about 7:30pm, while a back-up team arrived at the scene at about8:10pm.
Responding, Aruna said: “Whilst it is true that a commotion occurred at the residence of the Governor’s mother on the fateful day, it was however far from the truth that it was a kidnap attempt. “What really transpired was that a man parked his vehicle in front of the residence of the Governor’s mother and the security detail attached to the building asked him not to park there so as not to block the entrance. “The man who claimed to be a military personnel was not in uniform as at the time of the unfortunate incident but he insisted on parking in front of the building on the ground that he was a military personnel.
“He then went on to invite military personnel attached to Operation MESA to beat Mrs. Ambode’s police details after he was advised not to park his vehicle outside the building. “The unfortunate part was that the newspaper rightly reported this aspect of the development in the body of the story but still claimed in the lead paragraph that it was an apparent kidnap attempt.
“While we would like to put on record that the disturbance was not a kidnap attempt on the Governor’s mother as nothing untoward happened to her, we also like to caution against needless sensational journalism which could cause unnecessary panic. “At the moment, officials of the State Government are taking appropriate steps to sanction the unruly military personnel who joined their colleague to disturb public peace,” Aruna stated..

My beautiful ladies, I’m once again here for you guys! You know my love for y’all is forever dedicated to your well being in all aspects of your life style… fashion, health, relationships and so on.
This lovely weekend, I’m revealing to you some mistakes y’all just might be making when you tryna buy a bra!
Oh! you think I don’t know?! Lol… I don’t! But thanks to PureWow, I’ve been able to set up a list to help y’all out.
1. Underestimating The Cup Size
A little cleavage is fine, but when a bra fits properly, there should be no breast tissue peeking out of the sides of the cup. Put on a bra and check out the sides of your breasts, by your armpits–there should be no discernible bulges and everything should be scooped up and supported.
2. Overestimating The Band Size
When your cup size is too small, that probably means your band size is probably too big. If you can fit more than two fingers between the band and your spine, try a size that’s two inches smaller and adjust the cup size accordingly. The band provides most of your bra’s support, so a comfortably snug fit is important.
3. Assuming You’re The Same Size In Every Brand
You’re a medium at Anthropologie and a large at Zara, yet most women buy the same size at every lingerie store. Just like clothing, bras vary by manufacturer, so you might need to try on multiple band and cup sizes until you find an exact fit.
Have you ever tried to get the attention of your favorite celebs or just someone you look up to? sometimes we just want them to acknowledge us or just KINDLY FOLLOW BACK!! so sometimes we have to take it into our own hands!!

A heartbroken grandmother in Malawi has begged Madonna: “Please bring my little Mercy to me.”
Sickly 73-year-old Lucy Chekechiwa pleaded for “one last chance” to be with the grandchild she has not seen since her controversial adoption by the singer in 2009.
Madonna – who had adopted another orphan, David Banda, three years previously ,promised to keep them in touch with their African roots and heritage.
But Lucy said:
“I have not seen Mercy since she left and it leaves me in pain.
“Madonna has not been in communication with me and I cannot understand why. She brings Mercy to Malawi but not to see me.
“Why won’t she just come to see me? The pain is in my heart. I am old and ill and anything could happen. I want to see her before it is too late.”
Lucy had just visited her poorly-supplied local clinic to ask for help for a fever and cough. Her failing physical health is compounded by her despair.
Her teenage daughter Mwandida died eight days after giving birth to Mercy in January 2006. The child was taken into an orphanage because Lucy could not afford to look after her.
Sitting on reed matting on the red earth outside her mud hut home, Lucy said:
“I am thankful for Madonna in what she has given Mercy but I did not expect to never see her again or hear nothing.
“It would not take too much to come and see me and make me happy. It would be good for Mercy as well.
“I am heartbroken and think about her every day.
“I am asking Madonna to bring Mercy to see me next time she comes. Please bring my grand-daughter to me.”
Neighbours feel she has been cheated and one said:
“She carries the loss of Mwandida and Mercy around with her. You can see it.
“All she wants is to see her grandchild and for the grandchild to see her. Madonna should do that.”
Madonna, who has two natural children – Lourdes, 19, and 15-year-old Rocco – returned to Malawi in 2010, 2013 and in 2014, when she took Mercy with her. She says Mercy and David, both aged 10, will visit annually so family and heritage feature strongly in their upbringing.
But Lucy said the visits have yet to include a trip to her home, even though Blantyre has an airport.
“I hope Mercy is happy and I am sure that is what Madonna wants as well,” she said, as she gazed at local newspaper cuttings of the star’s last visit to Malawi.
“Whatever she feels about me, it will be bad for Mercy not to see her grandmother once more.
“I only have love for her.”
Stunning mother cum actress, Tonto Dikeh Churchill whose baby clocked 3 months old last week, gushed about the powers and joy of breastfeeding.

A benefits cheat has been spared jail in “an amazing display of mercy” despite falsely claiming £50,000 – which she used to pay off her own human traffickers.
Nigerian immigrant Linda Okungowa, 36, claimed almost £50,000 in destitution and child benefits despite working under false identities. It has been revealed all the money went to those who trafficked her.
In 2011, she was jailed for eight months after using false documents to obtain work while claiming £70,000 in benefits.
However Judge Simon Lawler QC, sitting at Sheffield Crown Court, South Yorks., chose to suspend her prison sentence after it emerged she had support from local churchgoers who were protecting her from committing further crime.
The judge said the exceptional circumstances of the case meant he wouldn’t be sending her straight to prison.
Judge Lawler said:
“I may be criticised because fraud from the public purse is common and everybody in this court knows usually the offender goes immediately to custody. But in this particular case I can see no useful purpose to the public in sending you to custody.
“I hope you repay the trust the court has placed in you.”
Okungowa, who illegally came to the UK in 2004 on a false passport, believed she would be able to train as a doctor after entering Britain, but instead became entrenched in a mounting debt cycle with the traffickers who helped her get into the country.
She said the traffickers kept increasing the amount they said she owed them and she was left so destitute her children were forced to walk 12 miles a day to school in Sheffield because the family couldn’t afford the bus fare.
She also ended up working multiple jobs in a bid to keep up with the repayments.
Neil Coxon, prosecuting, told the court after getting out of prison in 2011, Okungowa took on the identity of a friend in London while applying for work.
After getting several different jobs in the care sector she asked the woman if the wages could be paid into her bank account and later transferred to Okungowa.
Mr Coxon said Okungowa told the woman she couldn’t be paid directly due to debts associated with her account.
Between July 2011 and August 2014, Okungowa had claimed £22,610.47 in destitution benefits, and £26,201.56 in child tax credits and working tax credits between June 2011 and January 2015.
Okungowa, who has three children aged 11, nine and one, said after the case: ”
I’m not proud of the things I have done but I have been given a chance.”
Ben Hudd, the reverend at The Ark church in Sheffield, said:
“It was a balance between justice and mercy. We saw an amazing display of mercy.
“Although justice was done with the sentence, the judge had mercy on Linda because of all the things she has dealt with in her life. It was the perfect way forward.”
An investigation will now be carried out into Okungowa’s finances to see if she can pay any of the money back.
So a Twitter user yesterday apprised social media of how 20 girls went partying and only three returned crying profusely.
The tweep says the girls barely escaped with their lives… They were supposed to be given 80K each as a reward for attending the party or what is being referred to as ‘Thanks for coming’‘.
A member of a notorious gang operating across the south-south and south-east of the country, Gogo Daniel Ume (aka Full Payment), has told the police about how he usually donated food items and gifts to his church after every successful operation.
Soon after their arrest, the suspects, Ume, Ikadoi Michael Isere (aka White Witch) and Ifeanyi Kalu admitted to a crime spree that included numerous kidnappings and bank heists in the last three years.
According to the IRT, while being interrogated, the suspects admitted that they carried out the two bullion van robberies which took place between 2014 and 2015 at a Diamond Bank branch at Trans Amadi, Port Harcourt, where they stole N360m.
The suspects also admitted to carrying out the 2014 bullion van robbery at Igrita Roundabout, Airport Road, Port-Harcourt; robbery of a UBA branch on Azikiwe Road in Port-Harcourt in the same year and a 2015 bullion van robbery at another branch of the bank at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port-Harcourt, where they made away with N80m and killed a student in the process.
The suspects told the police that their gang was responsible for a robbery attack on a Fidelity Bank branch at GRA, Port-Harcourt. In all these operations, several policemen were said to have been gunned down.
They also admitted to attacking a First Bank branch in Enugu where one of their gang members identified as Akio was killed in June of the same year. The gang were said to have abandoned his body and fled.
However, amidst the robbery spree, the gang also undertook series of kidnappings and car-jacking which fetched them millions of naira.
Meanwhile, 30-year-old Ume has told the police that in February 2016 when they attacked a Fidelity Bank branch at GRA Port Harcourt, they blew up the door with dynamite and stole.
He said before they left, they destroyed all the CCTV cameras on the premises and shot two people on the premises.
He told the police that one Promise, who had worked in the bank before as a student on industrial attachment, monitored the bank for two weeks before the attack. According to him, in several other robberies, the IT student provided them vital information about other banks in Port Harcourt.
Ume said:
“Promise told us to ensure that operational manager of Fidelity Bank must not leave the bank or the operation would fail.
“I graduated from the Rivers State polytechnic in 2013, and that same year I was sent to prison where I enrolled for studies at the National Open University.
“My journey into crime started in 2012, when I joined the Vikings Confraternity and I became friends with a member known as Fabian, who was already into kidnapping activities by a gang known as Abiye. I also joined the Abiye gang and my first operation with them was the kidnap of a 15-year-old boy that fetched us N2m. I was given N150,000 out of it.
“Later, I followed the gang to rob a First Bank branch and I got N2m from that. I used part of my share of that money to pay my rent. The next operation we did at another First Bank branch in Enugu, one of our members, Kio, was shot dead by one of the policemen. We decided to go back to Owerri to rob another bank, while Promise was our informant.
“Promise told us to look out for the manager of the bank who usually held the key to the bank. But when we got there, we did not see the manager and we entered using a sledge hammer. What our gang got was not up to N10m but I was given N800,000.
“We later kidnapped a woman, and her husband paid N12m as ransom. I got N3m as my share from there. We also kidnapped another woman who was carrying huge money. She paid N2m before we released her. In one of our operations, we got information that money was being moved from a bank at Alakaya, off Trans-Amandi to the Port Harcourt International Airport.
“We once intercepted the bullion van on Airport Road, Port Harcourt. I tried shooting but my rifle jammed. A colleague, Chike, was shot and he fell, then Boma and White Witch rained bullets on the vehicle. Some of the foreign currency in the vehicle was destroyed but I got N4.5m from the money we stole during the operation. I bought a Lexus SUV for N2m, and gave N100,000 to an orphanage home. I also contributed N150,000 towards the roofing of my church. Each time I go for a successful operation, I normally buy bags of rice, noodles, diapers, and donate money to orphanages.
“I also bought two job slots for myself and my elder brother. I later sold my job slots to someone else who gave me N70,000 monthly. I also gave little money to my mum and sister.”
Ume said in another operation months later, he and his gang members attacked a Diamond Bank branch at Trans-Amandi, Port Harcourt.
According to him, they made away with N75m out of which he got N15m as his share. But that was the point he decided to call it quit.
He said, “I told other members to go and look for what to do with their lives with the money they had got because I was no longer interested since God had given me all I was looking for.
“After giving aids to children at the orphanage, I used part of the money to rent an apartment in Lagos and I paid for two years and half at Ajao Estate. I also bought furniture and other properties I needed. I then bought two plots of land in Bayelsa, I invested the rest into oil bunkering.”
“But after the money finished, a month before the election in Rivers State, we trailed a bullion van into the UST campus in Port Harcourt and robbed it of N39m. I got N10m as my share.”
The police have said they are on the tail of other members of the gang as investigation continues.

He said Kim sometimes asks him about his tweets and he has to explain to her why he posted them.
He said he is “usually constantly working on new music.”
“I’m a champion. I’m a winner. I came to innovate. I came to change,” he said. “This is like Michael Jackson level.”

There was mayhem in Randburg, South Africa, last Sunday after a woman got possessed by a demon and undressed in church before running into the streets and fighting a man.
According to iMzanzi, the woman, who happens to be the resident pastor’s wife, had the devil manifest in her during the preaching. The church, Holy Ghost Revival Ministries, is said to be embroiled in controversy over misuse of funds.
On the day in question, eye witnesses report that the pastor’s wife, Mrs Ngonzo was acting strangely before the service started and she was asked if everything was okay of which she replied saying she was fine.
When the service started, all those in attendance got the shock of their lives when Mrs Ngonzo suddenly screamed and started undressing.
“We could not believe it” a congregant said. “It was like a scene from a twisted porn script”
The wife is reported to have ran outside the church and when strong men tried to subdue her, she beat one up. “She was possessed and had so much power she beat us all,” said another eye witness who had a swollen eye after one of Mrs Ngonzo’s brutal jabs got him.
The possessed woman was eventually subdued and when she regained her senses, she was shocked to find herself n*ked.
Other respected women covered her with clothing and whisked her away.
