Go and fix the rot in Benue State- Gov. Wike blast Gov. Ortom

Governor of Rivers State, Barr. Nyesom
Ezenwo Wike has blasted Benue State
Governor, Samuel Ortom for daring to
campaign against his government in Rivers
State for the upcoming election tomorrow.
.
.
Samuel Ortom was among the top party
dignitaries who graced the grand finale for the
rally of All Progressive Congress (APC) in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State capital on Thursday. .
.
It was alleged that the Benue Governor, while
trying to canvass for votes from Rivers
electorate for his political party, made some
sweeping and ‘ungentle-man’ utterances
against the current state government under
Barr. Wike, the statements which the Rivers
Governor found unpalatable. .
.
Reacting to the development, Gov. Wike said
the Benue Governor made a ‘busy-body trip to
Rivers, abandoning all the rots he has created
in Benue.”Wike particularly took a swipe on
the Benue Governor for not paying salaries for
the record 10 months in his state. .
.
He, therefore, advised Ortom to go back to his
state and clear the backlogs of salary arrears,
even as he accused Ortom of borrowing a lot
of money and using bailout funds to execute
private businesses. .
. “That one that cannot pay salaries to his
workers for almost one year? That one that
Fulani herdsmen have almost finished his
people and he cannot do anything? Do you
want to be like Benue?” Wike queried. .
.
Gov. Wike also advised Ortom to go back to
his State and rescue Benue people from the
shackles of Fulani Herdsmen and other
insurgents who are “killing people like flies”.

Married pastor's mistress kills his wife and children in Lagos.

A lady identified as Rachel has killed the wife
and children of one pastor Isaac Shofolabo
whom she was having an affair with after
setting his home on fire. The incident
occurred around 1 a.m at 46, Oladunni
Memorial Street, Double Powerline, Ejibo
Lagos state.
.
.
According to neighbors, Rachel who is their
tenant, has been dating the pastor who is in
charge of Celestial Church of God, Joy of the
Lord Parish located inside the premises for
five years. The pastor's wife, Mary Shofolabo,
his children Taiwo, 19, and Iredamola and a
relative, Kazeem, 7, died at the General
Hospital, Gbagada where they rushed to for
treatment. According to Nation News, narrating
what happened, a neighbour who wants to
remain anonymous said;
.
.
“It is a terrible thing, very shocking. It
happened around 1am. It was Mama (the late
Mrs Shofolabo) that woke up other residents
with her scream. I was in my own room when
I heard her voice and came out. Coming out, I
saw fire on her body and she was shouting
that Iya Rachel has burnt everyone in her
house. .
.
That she saw someone moving from her
house and thought it was a thief. But when
she looked from her window, she saw that it
was Iya Rachel. Since they are not close, she
screamed and asked her what she was doing
in her house. She woke up the other children
at home and told them she saw a thief moving
round and when they tried to go through the
door, they realised it was locked from the
outside. . .
.
.
It was when they were returning to their room
that they heard the explosion and people
started running. It was Mama that used her
hand to break her window so that they can all
come out from there. When I saw her, fire was
on her body and she was shouting that we
should go and help her children inside the
house that Iya Rachel has set fire in her
house. I got to the place and saw Taiwo,
Segun, Elijah and one other person.
famousblogng Cont... They were the ones who
told me that Kazeem was still inside, at that
time, the fire was very heavy and no one could
enter. Neighbours started trying to put out the
fire while some of us rushed them to Isolo
General Hospital but they were rejected. We
went to a private hospital and they said we
have to deposit N200,000. Since we didn’t
have the money, we rushed to Gbagada
General Hospital. There was no car and so,
Mama and others were put inside tricycle, I
stood by the edge of the tricycle, while Taiwo
was carried on a motorcycle. By the time we
got to the hospital, around 2am, Taiwo was
swollen. They started treating them and they
were responding. Mama even told the doctor
on duty what she saw and explained
everything to him. But later in the day, she
passed on and few minutes after her, Taiwo
died too. Their father came back from vigil
around 4am and he saw what has happened.
He followed some of the neighbours to the
hospital to see them. The police was
contacted that night. At the trauma and burns
section of the Gbagada General, family
members and sympathisers trooped in to see
Segun and Elijah, who were severely burnt.

New York City "Catwoman" arrested for slashing boyfriend's face and pouring hot wax on him.

This is the mugshot of the New York City
'catwoman' Jocelyn Wildenstein who is
charged with clawing the face of her longtime
boyfriend. Jocelyn Wildenstein, 71, is accused
of slashing Canadian couturier Lloyd Klein with
a pair of scissors and gouging his face with
her manicured nails. .
.
Klein, 49, was forced to shove the 'Bride of
Wildenstein' into a closet to prevent another
attack before fleeing their ritzy Trump World
Tower apartment on Wednesday night.
DailyMail.com reports cops later arrived to
book Jocelyn on felony assault charges.
.
.
Jocelyn and her boyfriend have been dating
since 2003 but the relationship is now over
because Klein considers Wildenstein a 'ticking
time bomb'.
'She can go blow up anytime, anywhere and
with absolutely no reason,' said a source close
to the couple. 'He says she is truly a beautiful
person when she's on her best behavior. But
when she flies into one of her incredible rages
look out.' .
.
Wildenstein and Klein are believed to have
enjoyed a meal Tuesday evening before the
wealthy divorcee accused him of spending too
much time on social media.'They had a
relaxing dinner, everything was normal then
Jocelyn suddenly got angry as she often
does,' said the source.
.
'Lloyd was using his laptop and evidently not
paying her enough attention. So she
screamed at him to get off the computer then
picked up a lit candle and threw the hot wax
all over him.'He was very scared, he asked
her to calm down but she just got angrier and
angrier and threatened to kill him. .
.
'She then went at his face with her nails,
which are real and very sharp, before finally
grabbing some scissors and stabbing them
twice into his chest.' Klein told police that he
reacted by pushing plastic surgery-loving
Wildenstein into a walk-in closet in the
hallway of their $5million Manhattan pad.
.
.
He denies locking her in or forcing the door
shut and says she could have left at any time
had she merely calmed down and opened it
from the inside. Wildenstein appeared in court
facing charges of assault in the second degree
and inflicting injuries with a weapon.

Father of murdered Abuja toddler recounts ordeal.

Mr. Umar Suleiman, whose two-year-old
daughter, Khadija, was abducted in the Kuje
area of Abuja and whose body was found
under a bridge in the Gwagwalada area of the
Federal Capital Territory, has said that
fraudsters attempted to defraud him as he
searched for his daughter. Suleiman had on
November 19, 2016 announced the abduction
of his daughter on his Facebook wall, praying
that his daughter would be found. But the girl
never returned alive, as her corpse was said to
have been found one week after.
.
.
Narrating his ordeal since he learnt about his
daughter’s murder, he said, “We are trying to
cope. This Saturday will make it two weeks
(that her corpse was found). I’ve been having
people calling with hidden numbers. Most of
them are fraudulent callers but there is this
particular one that is suspicious (for the
kidnapping and murder). But the police said
they didn’t have the facility to track the call
and they sent me to somebody at Utako, who
is a professional in that.
.
.
“The person said he charges N1m for kidnap
cases and I would obtain a form for N5,000.
He said because he was very compassionate
about it, he would charge me N200,000.I have
paid the N5,000 but I have not gone back to
the place since then because I have not
finished paying the N151,000 for the mother in
the hospital who went into labour because of
the shock.” .
.
Speaking further on the “fraudulent calls,”
Suleiman lamented that most of the callers
wanted to take advantage of his missing child
to defraud him.
He said, “They are 419ners. Some told me
they had her and when I asked for the
evidence and that it should be sent through
WhatsApp or that they should allow me to talk
to her, they would request to get back to me.
There was a particular one who sent his
account number. I played along with him,
telling him I was in the bank to make a
deposit into his account.
.
.
Suleiman added, “But when he didn’t receive
any alert after about two hours, he stopped
calling. There was another who asked me to
send a N1,500 recharge card which I would
send to a number before the caller would give
me information on who was holding my child.

Oyo monarch dies in crash days after he was arraigned for threat to life/ taking possession of lands

A traditional ruler in Oyo State on Wednesday
died in a road accident after his car collided
with a truck. The monarch–the Amunijio of Ijio
in the Iwajowa Local Government Area of the
state, Oba Okunade Adegoke was said to be
driving himself from Iwere-Ile to his kingdom
around 10pm when he ran into the truck. A
source said the monarch was the only
occupant of the car, adding that he died at the
scene of the accident.
He said, “From what we could piece together
at the scene of the accident, it seemed the
kabiyesi was trying to avoid a vehicle when
he ran into the truck. Help did not come
immediately and by the time he was found, he
had died from his injuries.” His death came a
week after the king was arraigned before the
Okeho Magistrate’s Court for allegations
bordering on threat to live, destruction of
family business and using thugs to forcibly
take possession of a stretch of land that
belonged to another family.
He was also accused of destroying a farmland
on which tree crops worth N10m were
planted. The prosecutor had also said Oba
Adegoke and others, who were at large, on
March 29, 2016, sent threat messages to a
lawyer, Shittu Azeez, in the Okeho area of the
state. At the time, the counsel for the late
monarch, Olufemi Akintomiwa, who was
represented by Olakunle Afolabi, prayed the
court to give the legal team more time to
study the case.
