A Lagos street tout has shared the story of two friends and colleagues of his whose lives ended tragically over suya cabbage.
Speaking with Netflix in a documentary titled ”Awon Boys”, the tout said one of his friends identified as Lion bought suya after attending afrobeat singer, Femi Kuti’s show.
As he started eating, another friend named Deji, came and took cabbage that was on the suya, and in a swift reaction, Lion punched Deji who then fell and broke his head.
He tried to run away but other area boys grabbed him and he was eventually jailed for murder.
While in prison, Lion started thinking of his life, and he punished himself by doing absurd things. He later died in December that year.
If you have not been praying for our soldiers please start praying for them. What they go through in the course of their duties is not easy. Yesterday was a sad day for the soldiers in Birnin Gwari Kaduna State.
Seven brave soldiers died when they were attacked by unknown gunmen in Kaduna State. As you can see from the photo above, one of these soldiers just got married newly.
These soldiers are Nigeria Air force soldiers. They were serving at a new unit in Birnin Gwari Kaduna. They were on a mission yesterday, 13th February in Kaduna when unknown gunmen ambushed them and opened fire on them. These seven brave soldiers died in the process.
These are young soldiers, some of them are not yet married. The young man you saw in his wedding picture just got married to his beautiful wife. What will she do now? These soldiers died protecting lives and properties in Kaduna. May God console their families and loved ones.
A coursemate to one of the deceased soldiers shared this sad news on WhatsApp.
Rest In Peace Heroes and may God strengthen your loved ones at this time. Please say a prayer for them.
An 11-year-old Minnesota boy who had been shot five times was able to tell officers before he died that his mother’s boyfriend shot him and killed his mother and sister, according to criminal charges filed Tuesday.
Tekeith Jones, 26, was charged with three counts of second-degree intentional murder in the killings of D’Zondria Wallace, 30, her 13-year-old daughter La’Porsha and her 11-year-old son Ja’Corbie at their home in St Paul on Saturday.
Jones’ first court appearance was scheduled for Tuesday.
The complaint said D’Zondria was shot twice and La’Porsha was shot 10 times. Both were dead when officers arrived.
Ja’Corbie was still breathing and was taken to a hospital for an emergency surgery, but he did not survive.
Wallace’s nephew told the officers that Jones was his aunt’s ex-boyfriend and that he had been violent towards his aunt and he even fired a shot at her in the past.
According to the criminal complaint, Jones told police that he killed D’Zondria Wallace and her children to save them.
“Hell yeah, I saved them, they can go up there and be holy,” he told investigators at one point, according to the complaint.
The complaint identifies the victims by initials only, but family members have publicly released their names.
Prosecutors says police were called to an apartment in St Paul on Saturday afternoon by a 911 caller who said there were three people inside and there’s blood everywhere.
The first officer to arrive could only push the door open about a foot because La’Porsha was lying in front of it.
The officer squeezed inside and saw D’Zondria lying facedown on the couch. The boy was also facedown, but was breathing and making a gurgling noise.
First responder asked Ja’Corbie who shot him, and he replied, “Keith,” who he said was his mother’s boyfriend.
Wallace’s nephew told the police that Jones was his aunt’s ex-boyfriend but that he continued going to her house even after they broke up.
The nephew said he last saw Jones in December when Jones broke in through a kitchen window.
Jones swung D’Zondrai around and accused her of seeing other men, the complaint said.
Jones eventually calmed down but got mad the next day and shot his pistol at Wallace but missed, the nephew told police.
Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said in a statement: “My heart sinks to know that a mother and her two children were taken from us in such a senseless and violent way. We will do everything in our power to bring justice to the victims and our community in this case.”
SWAT officers arrested Jones in St Paul on Sunday. He told investigators that he had been in Minnesota for eight to 12 months and that he was carrying a gun for protection from the people who killed his brother a few months earlier.
The criminal complaint depicts a rambling interview in which Jones denied he killed no one, but also admitted to it, saying he shot Wallace before her children. Jones told the police that he’s not a monster and that he kissed all three of them.
He also said he was just trying to save them from feeling pain that he felt, according to the complaint.
