No Comments

A jealous Mexican woman identified by the police simply as Leonora R, has been arrested in the municipality of Cajeme, Sonora, after she allegedly stabbed her husband, Juan N, multiple times.

In a statement on Tuesday, the police said officers had responded to a ‘domestic disturbance call’ and on arrival at the apartment, found out that Leonora had stabbed her husband after finding images on his cell phone that showed him having sex with ‘another’ woman, not realizing that the pictures in question were actually images of herself and her husband from when they were still dating.

“When officers arrived at the apartment, they found that Leonora’s husband had been stabbed several times on his legs and arms.

“Without giving him time to explain himself, Leonora began stabbing Juan over and over again, while hurling insults at him,” the police said.

The statement added that Juan was eventually able to wrestle the knife out of his incensed wife’s hands, and asked her what photos she was talking about.

“He then explained to her that the photos were actually of him and Leonora taken years earlier when they were just dating.

“Leonora didn’t immediately recognize herself because the woman in the images was younger, thinner and wearing make-up.”

Juan told police he then explained to his wife that he had recently found the images in an old email and saved them to his phone. Leonora was immediately taken into custody and remains behind bars pending charges.

Nigerian girl trafficked to Mali for prostitution cries for help, begs to return home

No Comments

A 17-year-old Nigerian girl who was trafficked to Mali for prostitution has cried out for help, begging to be returned home after she became stranded in the West African country.

Another Nigerian based in that country posted a video of the girl on Monday and while narrating her ordeal, said she was taken to Mali alongside four other girls by a woman she referred to as ‘Aunty,’ with the promise of securing employment for them.

However, when they got to Mali, she realized that the woman had taken them to the country with the intention of turning them into prostitutes.

In the viral video, the girl who said she is from Abraka in Delta State, said when she refused to work as a commercial sex worker, the woman abandoned her to fend for herself in a foreign land where she knew nobody.

The young man was heard pleading for help for the young girl to find her way back to Nigeria.

“I saw a small Nigerian girl at a bar. She told me a woman brought her and four other girls from Nigeria to Mali. She said the woman told them they were coming to Mali to work but when they got to Mali, she took them to Ashawo (prostitute) quarters, urging them to work as prostitutes, so they can get money to feed themselves.

“This particular girl said she can’t sleep with men to make money, then the woman brought the girl to a car park in another state, dropped her there and left.

“A guy took the girl from the park to another Ashawo quarters. Many of them are here as prostitutes but this girl in particular is not agreeing to it. The owner of the hotel is asking her to leave because she is not paying the house rent though she is really in charge of the bar.

“She said she is from Delta State/ I want you people to go to that place and speak with the girl, she said she wants to go back to Nigeria. She is always crying; she gave me her parents address, that I should help her locate her parents.

“She said she is from Abraka in Delta State. I can’t bring her to my house without first meeting the police. She doesn’t have anything, she doesn’t have money. I pity her, please help her.”

NDLEA to propose drug tests for government appointees, security agents, others

No Comments

The new Chairman/Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mohammed Buba Marwa, said on Monday the agency would soon propose compulsory drug tests for government appointees, security agents, students of tertiary institutions, and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, among others.

Marwa, who stated this during a meeting with NDLEA commanders across the 36 states and special commands at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja, said the agency would go all out against illegal drug users in the country.

He ordered the state commanders of the NDLEA to mop up illicit drugs across the country.

Marwa said: “Our maxim will be offensive action. This means we must go all out constantly on the offensive against the bad guys.

“The success we make of this particular task goes a long way to determine the socio-economic stability of the nation. We need not be told of the nexus between drug use, crime, and criminalities.

“The exponential growth of the nefarious drug activities can be directly linked to the upsurge in crimes such as insurgency, terrorism, kidnapping, cultism, political thuggery, gangsterism, rape, and other maladaptation bedeviling today’s Nigeria.

“We (NDLEA) would soon propose to the government the necessity for drug tests for all tertiary institutions’ students, NYSC members, new workers, all security agencies’ new recruits and random tests for government appointees.”

President Muhammed Buhari appointed Marwa as NDLEA chief on January 17.

Police probe Apostle Suleman for allegedly sleeping with pastor’s wife

No Comments

Popular cleric, and founder of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has reportedly come under police probe for allegedly sleeping with the wife of a clergy identified as Mike Davids.

Further claims say that he is also threatening the life of the pastor and denying him access to his children.

The order to begin investigations into the matter was conveyed in a letter made available to newmen on Monday by the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, which was addressed to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, Garki, on January 5, 2021.

The letter with Reference number CB:7000/IGP.SEC/ABJ/Vol.515/561, and signed by the Principal Staff Officer II to the Inspector-General of Police, ACP Iliya Doma, accused Apostle Suleman of sleeping with Pastor Faith Edeko, who heads the Abuja branch of the Omega Fire Ministries.

According to reports, the letter is sequel to a petition written by V.C Ezenagu & Associates on behalf of the aggrieved Pastor, accusing Suleman of sleeping with Faith Edeko, after her husband, Pastor Davids, left the church.

The letter titled, ‘Re: Criminal Petition Against Apostle Johnson Suleman for Enticement of a Married Woman; Adultery; Unlawful Criminal Restraint to Access Children and Threat to Life’, reads thus in part; “I attach herewith a copy of a letter dated December 30, 2020 with its attachments received from V.C Ezenagu & Associates on the above underlined subject. The Inspector-General of Police directs that you treat. Accept the assurances of my esteemed regards please.

The petition from Mr David’s’ lawyers read in part, “I met Apostle Suleman in 2003 while I was in school. We became very close and I was eventually ordained a pastor of Omega Fire Ministries on June 9, 2006 by Apostle Suleman and served the church for over 15 years before I exited in 2019.

“My wife was a staffer with NTA Iruekpen, so Apostle Suleman reached out to her that they will need her to build Celebration TV and Rhema for Living. She would have to shuttle between Osun State and Auchi.

“She came back from Auchi to Osun State and said she wanted to tell me that her conscience was pricking her. I asked what it was and she said that while in Auchi, Apostle Suleman lodged her at Uyi Grand Hotel and he came there and slept with her.

“And the moment she said that, the first thing that came to my mind was my daughter. I asked where Michelle was when this happened and she said Michelle was on the bed, pushed aside and I asked, ‘You mean you slept with a man with my daughter on the bed?’. I had to let it go because there was nobody I could tell and I couldn’t fight with Apostle Suleman… I forgave her but the amorous relationship continued. One thing I know is that my wife was hypnotised. This is not the woman I got married to, who I knew for 11 years.”

According to Mr Davids, his relationship with Apostle Suleman soon turned sour after he discovered that his wife was having an affair with Apostle Suleman.

He said that Suleman later suspended him and after the suspension was lifted, he refused to return to the church and then started receiving threats from Apostle Suleman.

However, Mr Davids said that he and his estranged wife remain legally married because their marriage has not been dissolved by a competent court of the land.

He said, “Apostle Suleman has given her a branch of the church in Utako, Abuja to head without permission. I am calling on Pastor David Oyedepo, Pastor Paul Enenche, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Pastor Margaret Idahosa, CAN, PFN.

“Apostle Suleman has damaged my life. I have not seen my wife and children for two years and Apostle Suleman says if I ever go near them, he will have me taken out. I have a video where he said he will make me disappear. I don’t want to lose my life,” he lamented.

Herdsmen attack woman, cut off finger, shatter jaw in Ogun

No Comments

A woman in the Ijebu North local government area of Ogun State, Morenike Salami, is currently battling for her life after some marauding herdsmen attacked her while visiting her building site and in the process, cut off one of her fingers and shattered her jaw.

The attackers, said to be about eight in number, had reportedly waylaid their victim’s car and while she attempted to make a quick reverse, was caught and attacked.

The victim was said to have been taken to a few hospitals including the state-owned Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, but was rejected before she was taken to the Lagos State University Hospital, Ikeja, before she could get treatment.

In a viral video on social media on Saturday, a female voice was heard asking the daughter of the victim a few questions about the attack.

Replying, the daughter said:

“She (my mother) was going to her site in Idofe after a road that leads to Oru along Quarry. She said she saw some cattle while she was driving on the road and as she made a quick attempt to reverse, she was surrounded by some Fulani men who emerged from the bush.

She said they were about eight and the first thing they did was to shoot at all the four tyres and later went to block her car at the front. One of them carried a gun and wanted to shoot her. She begged him but he went ahead and shot her, removing one of her fingers.

My mother said she pretended as if she had died. One of her fingers was blown away by the bullets. She said she pretended as if she was dead. So, they went back into the bush. She said she managed to get down from the car after waiting for them to go.

“After she managed to alight from the car, she saw a tipper lorry and flagged it down. The driver rescued her and took her to Oru but she was rejected. We went to the general hospital but she was also rejected. When we got to OSUTH , they also said there was no space.”

Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abimbola Oyeyemi, said:

“Those people have a piece of land between Oru and Ago Iwoye. They went to inspect the land. One Alhaja who was going with them had excused herself with the promise that she would join them on the land.

“On getting to the land, they discovered that some Fulanis were attacking a labourer hired to clear the land in question. Those people immediately ran to those in the neighbourhood and in the process, the Fulanis left the victim and took to their heels.

“Unknown to the Alhaja, on her way to join the people, the Fulanis laid in ambush for her and opened fire on the vehicle she was driving. The woman was hit by a bullet and the Fulanis, who perpetrated the crime, ran away.

“When the police were informed, they went to the scene and could not find any of them but they saw the cattle they left behind. The police, in conjunction with the local vigilante group and hunters didn’t allow the cattle to leave the spot.

“Around 10pm, three Fulani men came to the spot with the aim of taking away the cattle and the police apprehended them. They have been transferred to the police headquarters in Eleweran. They have strong connection to the crime.”
