Farmer Arrested For Allegedly Killing His Daughter’s Lover

 Detectives in Ondo State have arrested a farmer in Idanre Local Government Area of the state, Mr Ojo, for allegedly killing his daughter’s lover.
However, it was alleged by the mother of the deceased that after his son was killed, the suspect hanged him on a tree to create impression that he committed suicide.
But Police were still investigating the matter.

The deceased, Ego George, 22, who was a commercial motorcycle rider was dating the suspect’s 20-year-old daughter, Feyi, a secondary school student.

We gathered that the suspect allegedly committed the crime at Jemgbe Camp, a settlement in Idanre.He is said to be a native of Kabba in Kogi State while the deceased is from Orogun in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

Narrating how the suspect allegedly killed his son, the mother, Mrs Grace George, said prior to the unfortunate incident there had been threats from Ojo to kill Ego should he not leave his daughter alone.

Mrs George alleged that after killing his son, Ojo hanged him to create impression that he committed suicide, explaining that a day before the tragic incident, he came with a policeman to arrest his son.
She said: “Ojo came to Ego’s house in Jemgbe with the policemen to arrest him on Wednesday night, July 31, 2013 but did not meet him at home.

“The following day, which was Thursday, August 1, Ego was reportedly missing. They later saw Ego’s corpse in the bush on Monday August 5.”

Confirming the incident, the Police image maker, Wole Ogodo, said the body of the deceased had been taken to hospital for autopsy.

The suspect, according to him, had been arrested and transferred to state CID, Akure.
Ogodo said “From the briefs I have gotten so far, I think what happened was that a case of suicide was reported to DPO Idanre.

“As police was trying to take action, we went to that place to remove the boy from the hanging tree, they said the Baale of that place said before the boy is removed, that it was a taboo and some rituals had to be performed.

“So, while doing that, the DPO saw Ojo and tactically brought him to station and arrested him.
“While doing that, the mother of the deceased alleged that about four days ago, there was a rift between her son and one Ojo alleging that he was dating his daughter. That she never believed that her son could commit suicide.

Ogodo said “So, the case was transferred to State CID. The corpse was removed from the hanging tree. They have taken it to hospital for autopsy to determine whether it was suicide or murder”

Ekiti Stands Still As Governor Fayemi, Others Launch APC

Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State, stood still for several hours yesterday, as party faithful, interest groups and members of the public welcomed the newly registered mega- party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The flag of the new party was launched and hoisted amidst pomp and pageantry with the Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, calling on Nigerians to embrace the APC, which he said was put together to rescue the country from bad governance, brigandage and systemic failure, which he said the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, represents.

Dr. Fayemi lowered the flag of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and hoisted that of the APC at the Governor’s Office and later at the headquarters of his campaign office in Ado-Ekiti.
The state APC chairman, Chief Olajide Awe, performed the same ritual at the state secretariat of the party at Ajilosun area of Ado-Ekiti shortly after Governor Fayemi arrived from his office to the warm embrace of enthusiastic party members.

Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, assured that the newly registered APC would not discriminate against new comers who are ready to embrace the party.
Meantime, as the new party was inaugurated in the state, members of Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, a party in the alliance, stayed off from the rally.
Members of the CPC, led by its chairman, Mr. Ajayi Babatunde, were at their Basiri office while the rally was on.

Speaking with newsmen over the refusal of his members to join in the rally, Babatunde said leadership of the defunct ACN refused to carry them along.

The CPC said officials of the ACN had frustrated several moves for them to meet where they were expected to put a final seal to their merger in the state.

Pastor Who Operates With A Herbalist Caught In The Act

Ajuwa, a town in Ikenne local government area of Ogun State is known for its agrarian nature. But some of the people seem to have, lately, abandoned agriculture for the more "lucrative" business.

And it is all about pipeline vandalisation. They burst the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation's (NNPC) pipelines passing through their village to steal fuel which they sell.

Vanguard gathered that, apart from Arepo village in Obafemi-Owode local government area of Ogun State, where some vandals lost their lives while scooping fuel, the next hot spot for black market Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol, is Ajuwa.

Before security men raided the NNPC right of way in the village, vandalisation was said to have been a thriving activity in the area. Ajuwa is two kilometers away from the old Ogere toll gate on Lagos-Ibadan expressway and sandwiched by Ogere Water Corporation and the popular Siun market .

The well organised vandals built a wooden bridge across the river in the bush through which they get to the 'depot' to steal fuel. Hundreds of Jerry cans filled with stolen fuel and cars loaded with Jerry cans were seen along the road when Vanguard visited the village. There was a police check point nearby.

Many travellers expressed shock when news filtered in that the vandals made use of the police 'parking space' in the night in the process of carrying out their operations.

It was gathered that pipeline vandalisation had been on going in the area for a long time before security men raided the village and arrested 28 suspected oil thieves who were mostly youths and artisans.

A popular pastor, his herbalist accomplice, and a young woman who claimed to have just been divorced by her former husband were among the suspects. The raid, executed by men of Nigerian Army from 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala, Abeokuta and those of Nigerian Security and Civil Defence in Ogun State, followed a tip-off by some of the villagers.

28 persons were arrested while seven assorted vehicles, 363 Jerry cans, a hose as well as some substances believed to be charms were part of the items recovered.

Meanwhile, some of the suspects caused a stir when they mentioned one Sergeant Adamu, believed to be attached to a police station in Ogere, as one of their sponsors. A suspects who gave his name as Monday Bitrus, 20, from Katsina State, said at least five vandals were working for Adamu. He claimed to have joined the business two months ago.

Another suspect, Ibrahim Wasiu, 22, said, "Before my arrest, I could count five to six policemen who were working with us".

From what OluFamous.Com gathered, the pastor is very popular in the area and his action is now the talk of the town, especially among his loyal members versus those who weren't attending his church.

I am not too strong to fall in love; I am human and I have feelings too. I don't think there is any woman on earth that has not experienced love in one form or the other.

That's not possible; I can never be caught doing that. I can't marry an actor.

I am a roe model to those who see me as one; I am sure Nigerians out there see and read all these things and they laugh. I am sure there are people out there who appreciate what I do as an actress and hope to someday achieve what I have achieved as a thespian.
For how long will your career continue to thrive on controversy?
My career thrives on everything; my career thrives on all the ups and downs that I have been faced with. But most especially, the controversies have made me stronger and wiser.

I don't care about them because they don't care about me; everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. I live my life the way I want to. People should also remember that I am human and no one is perfect.

‘Dead’ Man Wakes Up, Grabs Bottle Of Water At Own Funeral In China

Onlookers were shocked when a man, who was said to be dead, suddenly got up and grabbed a bottle of water.

The soft drink vendor in China faked his own death in order to sue the government after an altercation with government employees.

But his cover was blown when he became too hot in the Hubei Province, in central China. The heat was too much for him to bear.

The incident occurred around 4:00 pm, when more than 10 men held the "corpse" on a gurney covered with a white sheet near the Jianghan Road subway station in the provincial capital of Wuhan.

The men protested and claimed that the government workers had beaten the vendor to death and they demanded tens of thousands of yuan in compensation.

More than 300 people gathered at the scene, and 80 police officers were sent to the scene to maintain order.

After two hours of protest, the "dead" man suddenly stood up, grabbed a bottle of water and drank it before saying: "It's too hot. I cannot take it anymore."

According to Human Rights Watch, many Chinese cities employ non-criminal law enforcement personnel called chengguan who work independently from police. Their job is to monitor citizens compliance with sanitation, traffic, and environmental laws.

The group is not very popular with the Chinese public after a series of high-profile violent incidents involving chengguan members. In the latest incident, six chengguan members were detained after a fruit seller in Hunan died after the group hit him on the head amid an altercation.

The "dead" man, whose surname is Han, along with two others have, been arrested for disorderly conduct. After being detained, Han told police that chengguan members clashed with vendors early in the day after claiming that their carts were blocking traffic. They told the vendors to leave before confiscating
