There was much misunderstanding in the Ijora Badia area of Lagos State when a two year old boy, Ibrahim, died after eating a plate of rice suspected to have been poisoned. It was learnt that the food was prepared by his mother, Fatimoh Azeez.
Fatimoh, however, said the food was eaten by other members of her family who were not hurt, adding that she suspected that one of her sisters-in-law, Fatimoh Rasaki, who had visited her on the day of the incident, had a hand in the death of the child.
It was gathered by PUNCH that Fatimoh used to visit her boyfriend, Isa, regularly in his parents’ apartment on Olajide Street in the Ijora community.
She was said to have become pregnant for him and was later delivered of the boy. The lovebirds were reportedly cohabiting in the house when Fatimoh’s parents took her and the baby away to their house on Akosile Street. Isa was reportedly allowed to visit both mother and child.
PUNCH Metro learnt that on one of such visits, Isa had a disagreement with his mother-in-law, which escalated into a fight with his girlfriend. Fatimoh’s family reportedly stopped him from visiting the child.
His sisters, Fatimoh Rasaki and Latifah Musbau, both married with children, were said to be visiting Fatimoh’s family on the fateful Sunday to mediate in the couple’s dispute, when the child died.
Fatimoh, in her statement to the police, said she was washing some clothes at the back of the house when she saw Rasaki spoon-feeding her child, which made her upset because she feared he could be poisoned.
She said:
“After I gave birth to my child, my husband’s people started maltreating me and sent me out of the house. I decided to stay with my parents.
“On August 16, around 11am, I was washing clothes when I saw my two sisters-in-law coming into the house to meet my parents.
“I saw as Fatimoh (Rasaki) carried my child and began to feed him with rice. I quickly rushed there and grabbed him from her and strapped him to my back.
“After some time, I put him on the bed. Suddenly, he started shaking uncontrollably. I rushed him to a hospital, where the doctor said he had died.
“I was the one who prepared the rice and it was eaten by all members of my family.”
It was also learnt that the two sisters-in-law, upon hearing the news, rushed to the house. They were said to have been arrested by the policemen from the Ijora Badia division, before the case was transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.
Musbau, a tailor, however, denied having anything to do with the death of the child.She said the visit was at the instance of their late father, who pleaded with them to resolve the dispute between the two families.
She said:
“It was when Fatimoh became pregnant that we knew she and Isa had been dating.
“She stayed with my mother and gave birth to the child, before her parents took her away.
“After that, Isa started going to visit the boy. But one day, he had a disagreement with his mother-in-law. His girlfriend also started harassing him anywhere she spotted him. We warned him to stop visiting them. And he stopped.”
Rasaki told the publication that they decided to go for a truce visitation on the fateful Sunday. She said:
“When we arrived at Fatimoh’s parents’ house, it was only her mother that was around. We also saw three kids eating rice in different plates. We did not know which of them Ibrahim was.
“Her mother started abusing us, saying she would deal with us for all we made her daughter go through.
“She was still talking when her daughter suddenly barged into the room, carried the child and strapped her to her back. She then stormed out of the room.
“Later, her father arrived and we broke the news of our father’s death to him. He condoled with us and said the dispute would soon be settled.”
She said later, Fatimoh’s mother came and broke the news of the child’s death to them.
“She said the boy had died and left the house without saying another word. We all rushed to their house and saw the corpse of the boy. It was while condoling with the family that the police came and arrested us,”
she added.
A police source said the police were investigating a possible case of food poisoning.
“It is still not clear what killed the child. But we are suspecting food poisoning. The remaining food eaten by the boy has already been packed for a test and we are awaiting the autopsy report. Once there is a problem with the food, the women will have a case to answer,” he said.

A 42 year old traveller from Nigeria was apprehended at the Hong Kong International Airport with 15kg of suspected ivory products which were allegedly stashed inside the pockets of a tailor-made vest.
He arrived in the city from Abuja, Nigeria, via Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, on Monday morning.

On July 27, officers caught a 27-year-old man who had arrived from Lagos, Nigeria, and seized HK$150,000 worth of ivory tusks and ivory products. He was convicted of importing an endangered species and fined HK$62,000.
The Chief Matron of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mrs. Caroline Oriola, was reportedly discovered dead in her office at the Assembly premises on 24th of August, 2015, Monday morning.
Oriola had reportedly gone to the office on Saturday but did not return home. Her dead body was discovered on the Monday morning by a cleaner, who had gone to clean the clinic before the the resumption of work.
It was gathered from some staff that the Chief Matron had gone to her office on that Saturday to pick some drugs. She allegedly drove her car to the Assembly complex, parked at the lawmakers’ car park, before proceeding to her office.
She was also said to have put on the air conditioner in her office and backed the door. Security men on duty at the weekend were oblivious of the incident even though the woman signed in before she picked the keys to the clinic being a weekend.
Her colleagues and other staff of the Assembly have expressed shock at the incident with many describing her as a very good woman who never took the health of others lightly.
One of the staff who refused to mention his name said:
“It is indeed a sad news, nobody expected that she would die, when she did.
“We were told that she was in the clinic to pick some drugs only for her dead body to be found on the floor by a cleaner,”
It was learnt that Oriola’s husband, who had waited endlessly for her to return home, had gone to check for her at the Assembly.
However, her husband was said to have returned when he could not find her car at the general car park as she was supposed to have done.
The body of the deceased has been conveyed to the morgue using the Assembly ambulance.
It was accompanied by some staff of the House led by the Clerk of the House, Mr. Segun Abiru.
Delectable Nollywood actress, Ini Edo has disclosed the main reason why her marriage to Philip Ehiagwina crumbled. The actress who was married for six years (from 2008 to 2014) was played guest on Rubbing Minds on Channels TV on Sunday.
“I got married early because I wanted a family. I think my marriage was an experience which I don’t regret. He was the last child, so his family members kind of interfered in the marriage, which is naturally normal. He was okay with the kind of work I did and he kind of interfered as a good husband. We couldn’t find common grounds and agree on certain things so we fell out. My husband and I were far apart from each other, maybe being together would have helped. My marriage fell out because of differences. For now I just want to fix my life, no marriage in the picture.”
Classic R&B singer, who has one of the most magnificent voices in the world, Celine Dion has just painfully revealed, with tears rolling down her cheek that her husband wants to “die in her arms”.
The singer’s 73-year-old husband c, is battling throat cancer and his final wish is to be with her when he passes away. The couple married in 1994 after knowing each other for 14 years.
Recapping the previous conversation she had with her husband, she told ABC:
“I’ll say, ‘You’re scared? I understand. Talk to me about it.’
“And René says to me, ‘I want to die in your arms.’ OK, fine, I’ll be there, you’ll die in my arms.”He can’t eat so I feed him,”
she said:
“He’s got a feeding tube. I have to feed him three times a day.”
“Don’t forget, he’s been the leader of the band all my life. So it [hacks] him off to not see me all day and over here working. But he wants me to do this, do the show, do the interviews. But he freaks when I’m not home with him, too …
I didn’t want to be here at first, I don’t need it. Don’t get me wrong, I love singing for people, but I have priorities. But René really gave me a gift.
“All my grieving, it was during this last year. I think I’ve got this. For now. When it hits me, it’s going to hit me. But my biggest job is to tell my husband, we’re fine. I’ll take care of our kids. You’ll watch us from another spot.”

I wonder what the deal is with female celebrities these days; they don’t want to have anything to do with men; marry them, they break up with them, don’t want to “know” them. Oh well…
Stunning Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, is another female celebrity who appears to have a problem or a thingy with men. The actress spoke to Vanguard stating that she is not searching for a husband as rumours claim.
It is high time Nigerians start getting things right. As for criticisms, I ignore them so much“I’m not looking for a husband and I don’t need one. I don’t need anything. I’m a complete person.. I only do things that make me happy, because I believe and I understand the reality that there is just one life and you should live it to the maximum. Happiness and peace should be the key.I’m not searching for a husband, because the rumour that I’m searching for a husband has given me Wahala,- all kinds of people from left, right and centre, looking for me saying they want to marry me.Please, I’m using this opportunity to tell everybody, I am not looking for a husband!”.
This proposal of his comes as former Lagos State Governor, Fashola, has been under fire for expenses made during his tenure. The first controversial expense which hit the internet was the N78.3m of taxpayers’ money on a personal website, www.tundefashola.com, and for also spending N139m on the drilling of two boreholes at the Lagos House.
The Atlanta man who was shot when his home was invaded just as he and his wife had returned from a vacation said he remembers praying out loud, telling God he expected to meet him that day.
Mike Lash said he prayed.
“Lord, this is, I guess, the moment I will meet you today … if it is not your will, I am ready to stay,” he said.
Lash and his wife, Whitney, and their two children had just come home from vacation on August 16 when there was a knock at their door.
According to the account given by the Lashes to ABC News, Lash answered the door and saw two young men who told him they had just moved in down the street and experienced car trouble. The two men said they needed a jack, according to Lash.
“I had a feeling that it was an excuse and we were about to be robbed. Right about that moment i saw them pull the gun on Mike,” she said.
Whitney took the couple’s six-month-old, Lucy, ran out the back door and called 911, telling the operator in a whisper that they were being robbed at gunpoint.
Mike said he tried to block the door when he saw the gun. He was shot three times in the left leg as the two men – joined by two others – forced themselves inside the couple’s home and began taking items. The couple’s 2-year-old son, Everson, was taking a nap upstairs.
“It just went like a silent movie. They started walking in and I remember them coming in and out multiple times, just bringing stuff from our house,” Mike said.
One of the intruders had also chased Whitney.
“I heard footsteps of someone running and two more shots that were aimed at me and my daughter,” she said, adding that the intruder caught up to her and took her phone.
Whitney and Lucy were unharmed. Everson, too, was unharmed. He slept through the whole thing.
The Lashes helped police to generate a sketch that led to the Thursday arrest of 18-year-old Brandon Jerome Smith.
Police are still searching for Smith’s three alleged accomplices. Police are urging them to turn themselves in.
Mike is recovering from his wounds, and he and Whitney are grateful.
“We really do value every moment we have together now and are just so thankful to have our family be safe and we are all closer than ever,” she said.
The community has rallied around them.
“We are floored by how much support we have gotten … our friends in our community have been amazing,” Mike said. “It has made us all so much closer.”
Smith was charged with aggravated assault and armed robbery, an Atlanta Police Department spokesman said.

Residents of the ancient town of Ile-Ife, have been warned to remain indoors for the Oro deity to observe the final funeral rites for the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Ile-Ife, Osun, observed that the palace town criers were going round the town announcing that residents, especially commercial drivers and motorcyclists should stay indoors between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
NAN reports that this will enable the Oro deity perform necessary rites for the departed monarch.
It was gathered that the Head of Oro Cult in Ife, the Awara of Iwara, Oba Layi Adereti had ordered the curfew, warning that anyone who flouted the order, irrespective of age or gender would face its consequences.
However, residents were apprehensive of the stay at home order as many of them rushed to the few available markets to get essentials that would last them for the day.
It would be recalled that major market places in Ife had been shut since last week Friday when the burial rites started.
Although, some markets in Mayfair and its environs have been in operation.
As a result of the curfew, some Heads of Departments in the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife cancelled the continuous assessment tests for their students earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday.
Some students, who reside off campus, have been advised to remain indoors in compliance with the Oro cult order.
Also, hundreds of commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as “Okada riders” were seen on Friday distributing a hand bill to their colleagues, warning them against operating in Ife on Saturday.
The Vice President of the Okada Riders Association, Ile-Ife chapter, Idowu Akamo, told NAN that the fliers became imperative because some members of the association were always busy and might not have heard the town criers while making the announcement.
He said that many of the residents as well as the Okada riders had thought the mourning period would end on August 21, adding that many residents were surprised when they heard the stay-at-home order.
According to him, the Oro people should not be dared because the consequences might be disastrous, saying the association will not like to lose its members because of disobedience.
It would be recalled that the Oro cult had on penultimate Friday, after the inter-religious farewell service for the monarch in Ife, asked residents of Ife to stay at home from 4 p.m. till dawn for the next seven days in continuation of the final rites of the late Sijuade.
Many residents had respected the order and were thinking it had ended on Friday but got a shock when the curfew order came on Saturday.
Producer, OJB Jezreel has decided to set the records straight regarding who discovered Wizkid.
In a chat with Saturday Beats,OJB said he hadn’t spoken about it before now because he is too old to be blowing his own trumpet at 50.
The beat maker said that he went to Wizkid’s family house to convince his parents to allow him pursue his music career.
“To set the records, I discovered Wizkid’s talent. We basically started his career and I remember when we had to push Wizkid around and take him for shows but nobody was ready to allow him to perform because they were not ‘feeling’ him at that point in time. When he had the chance and said he wanted to move on and try other things, we were behind him then too. If we did not discover him, he would not have been with us. I was the first person to go to his family house to tell them that it would be a nice idea if they allowed him to go into music.
We have been there from day one but not everybody know this story, we don’t just make noise about it. It is not Banky W that discovered him, I did. I would soon be 50 years old and I think it would be funny if I start blowing my trumpet,” he said.
OJB told Saturday Beats that he has no regrets when it comes to Wizkid because he pushed his career as far as he could.
“There are some artistes that if you spend millions of naira on them, they would not be impactful until they cross borders. Take Harrysongs for example, millions was spent on him but nothing happened till he crossed over to Five Star Entertainment. There is no how Harrysongs would say that Questionmark record label was not a blessing to his life. Sometimes, these things happen like that and I think it is destiny,” he said.

Five Star Music Act, Kcee said his brother E-money didn’t use or try to use Skiibii for money ritual.
Fans accused E-money of using the singer for money rituals after his death PR stunt failed.
Kcee and Chairman of Five Star Music Group – E Money
Kcee told Wazobia FM that:
“I’m disappointed with people on social media who said that my brother, E Money, used Skiibii for money rituals. What gets me even angrier is that now that he did not die, they are saying his head was too strong for the juju and that is why immediately I came into the country I decided to use this medium to clarify issues.”
“I was on tour with my producer, Soso Soberekon in Norway when the purported rumour of Skiibii’s death broke. Somebody called Soso to confirm the news and Soso called his boy who confirmed that Skiibii col lapsed and was rushed to the hospital but he did not know what exactly was happening but it’s like Skiibii was dead and so he told the caller that skiibii was actually dead.
“I later got in touch with my brother, E-Money, who said he had instructed that Skiibii be transferred to another hospital immediately. So the whole issue was misconstrued because of Soso and he has been placed on suspension by the management.”
Nollywood actress Doris Simeon had a chat with Encomium soft-sell magazine recently.
In the chat she talks about being a businesswoman and how she has been able to combine being an actress and running a successful saloon.
She also touches on her private life – including the fact that she misses her son, might get remarried and that her divorce case with Daniel Ademinokan is still in court.
She also addresses rumours that she was recently heartbroken by ThisDay Newspaper’s Political Editor, Wale Olaleye.
Read excerpts below.
On her current project: I am on my latest shoot. I am just on break. I am planning to finish it this week. For now, the working title is The Victim, which will definitely change along the line because I realized Mercy Aigbe too had shot a movie called, The Victim. And after this week’s shoot, I am planning to do a bigger movie. Also, I am working on my TV show.
On making profit from her saloon: It’s very profitable. When you buy hair of N200,000 and you see about three or four people buying from you per day, the gain on that alone is something. Ordinarily, as a businesswoman, I may not get it for N200,000 but when you put the cost of transportation and other miscellaneous expenses attached to getting it, it will be around that amount.
On why she opened a saloon: I won’t say it’s because movies are not doing well and that’s why I went into hairdressing. It’s just because I have passion for it, even since when I was very young. And it’s what our mom trained us with since the beginning of our lives. It’s what we all grew up to know. We’re always in the shop with her, trying to help her, especially when it comes to festive period when customers would keep trooping in. We would be left with no alternative than to assist her so that she won’t be much stressed. We must make sure everything went on well. Since then, I have to sit up, continue learning from wherever we think we need to go and learn and put in more effort into our career.
On not having her son in her custody: No mother will be happy if her child is not with her. But then, that’s still my private life just like I keep saying, and I am dealing with it.
On a possible reconciliation with Daniel: Just like I said, everything concerning that is my private life, and I want to keep it private.
On rumours she was heartbroken by Wale Olaleye’s recent marriage: I have no comment on that. I still see it as part of my life as a celebrity. If I walk in the street with another man, people will just say or write one or two things about it. So, it’s just one of those things. I am used to it. Wale is my friend just like he is to you as well. Whether we like it or not, people in the media and those of us in entertainment are all friends. I don’t understand what you said they’re saying. Were they there when we’re discussing that? Are they prophets? They should tell you and shed light on where they heard the story that we’re dating and that we wanted to get married.
On being a single mother: It’s even about five years we have separated. And as a single mother, I think I love it. I am a single mother, I love my child and I live my life. It’s just one of those things but if by tomorrow God says this is who I am getting married to again, all well and good. But, however it’s, as per my present situation, I am enjoying my life and thanking God because I am alive and I can eat without begging anybody for food. I believe as long as there is life, there is always hope in everything you do. So, with my present situation, I thank God for everything.
On giving marriage another shot: Just like I said, if God says it’s time for me to get married again, all well and good. We’re still in court. So, I don’t want to talk further on that.

In a recent interview with Saturday Beats, Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim told the newspaper that she wanted to be a musician and not an actress.
According to her:
“I wanted to be a musician when I was growing up and I really loved Celine Dion. It just happened. I won a beauty pageant in 2004 and shortly after, someone called me about an audition.
The person said they were looking for someone like me and that was how I became an actress.”
