Spanish Police Smash Nigerian Drug Ring, Arrest 15 People

Spanish police said Sunday they had smashed a Nigerian ring that smuggled cocaine and other drugs into Spain and the rest of Europe from Latin America and Africa, arresting 15 people.

The group, based in the Madrid suburb of Alcala de Henares, would use drug mules who would injest pellets filled with drugs and avoid detection at airports, police said in a statement.

Police seized about eight kilos (18 pounds) of cocaine and 17,000 euros ($22,255) in cash as part of their investigation, which began in September 2011.

The majority of those arrested were Nigerian citizens.

Police carried out their first arrest as part of the operation in October 2011 at the airport at Palma de Majorca of a man who had swallowed 77 pellets of cocaine.

Later that month police detained another man at the same airport who had swallowed 68 pellets of cocaine.

"These people had been sent by the organisation to Madrid to collect cocaine from other members of the ring which based in Alcala de Henares. From there they would also send mules to South America and Africa to collect the drug," a police statement said.

Spain's proximity to north Africa, a key source of hashish, and its close ties with its former colonies in Latin America, a major cocaine producing region, have made it a major gateway into Europe for drug traffickers.

EXPOSED Inside ‘satanic men of god’s shrine’ on Lagos-Ibadan expressway

Sefiu Eleledu village, located off Lagos/Ibadan expressway, is  predominately known for manufacturing. But behind this trait are criminal activities perpetrated by some individuals, which, until recently, was, unknown to the villagers. Thus, the villagers were  shocked when, on Monday, mobile and conventional policemen, acting on a tip off,  stormed the village.

Most of the villagers reportedly ran to hide inside their apartments, from where they started calling members o f their families to remain wherever they were until the policemen left.

Stationing themselves in strategic locations, some of the policemen reportedly went inside the bush , where they discovered a shrine . At the sight of the policemen, some persons in the shrine took to their heels . But one of them was caught.

Thereafter, the activities of the suspect arrested and his colleagues unfolded. Unconfirmed report said the shrine was used for ritual purpose where strangers were slaughtered  for money ritual.



...the said 'men of God’s shrine’

But Ogun State Police Command confirmed that the shrine was used to dupe gullible persons. For instance, the suspect and his accomplices,  as gathered, sometimes posed as men of God and, at other times, as traditional seers. Their modus oparadi allegedly included revealing to their victims “all that concerned them” through spiritual insight. At that point, they would take their victims to the shrine where they would make them swear  to oath of secrecy before telling them to bring some amount of money  to cleanse the  victims from  evil contamination.

Report also had it that when a gullible client reached the shrine, a croaky voice, which the client would be made to believe  was that of an unforeseen being capable of revealing all the client  needed to know, would be heard. But, unknown to the client, the voice  would be  that of one of the suspects hiding behind the mat, close to a carved image.

At other times, their victims would be manipulated through fetish means and, thereafter, asked to go get money for spiritual bath. They also usually boasted to their victims of their ability to make them rich and elevate their financial and social status but on the grounds that they must  bring an undisclosed amount to pray with. Also, they were reportedly in the habit of demanding money from their clients which they claimed would be used for fasting and also enhance their spiritual insight into the clients problems.

Ascribing the feat to the command’s resolve to rid  Ogun State  of criminals  elements, its spokesman, Mr Olumuyiwa Adejobi, recalled that  a similar raid at Ogijo area of the state also led to the discovery of a  shrine used for rituals. The suspect in the latest incident, identified simply as Paul , according to Olumuyiwa, would be charged to court soon. The spokesman advised members of the public to be wary of those they transact business with and also shun any attempt to lure them into believing they could make quick money.

52-Year-Old Nigerian Woman Sets US Record When She Excreted 180 Pellets Of Heroin Worth $150, 000

Bola Adebisi, 52, set a record at the Dulles International Airport, USA, when she excreted 180 thumb-sized pellets of heroin worth $150, 000.

She has been charged with drug smuggling in a federal court.

Customs officers became suspicious on Saturday when Adebisi said she was coming to the U.S. to visit her brother, but couldn't describe him. A routine pat-down found her stomach to be abnormally rigid. An X-ray revealed the pellets and she was taken to the hospital.

Weighing over five pounds, the heroine found on Adebisi is the highest ever ingested by a suspect caught at the airport.

The previous record for an ingested drug seizure at Dulles occurred last year, when another Nigerian was discovered with more than four pounds of pellets.

Fans might be amped about Kanye West's latest song, Theraflu," which hit the net (April 5), but the cold medicine company the song is named after isn't too happy.

Theraflu released a statement to TMZ about 'Ye's title choice, expressing their displeasure with it.

"We in no way endorse or approve of the references or use of the image and likeness of Theraflu in this manner," a company rep told the entertainment site.

Although Yeezy named the song after Theraflu, which helps fight colds, he uses the title to reference how "cold" he is towards his enemies.

As previously reported, Kanye revealed his love for reality star Kim Kardashian on the track, rapping, "I admit I fell in love with Kim, 'Round the same time she fell in love with him / Well that's cool baby girl, do your thing, lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team." (Jay-Z is a part-owner of the New Jersey Nets, the team Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries plays for.)

Kim appeared on NBC's Today Show today and said she liked Kanye's song, adding that the two have been friends for a long time and that she's excited about what the future might hold for them. And while she didnt flat out say they were dating, People Magazine reports they indeed are in the early stages of a relationship as the two were recently seen leaving a movie theater in New York City and then on a lunch date on Thursday (April 5).

There is no word yet on whether Theraflu is planning on suing Kanye West.

The Top 10 Most Popular Hip Hop Singles The Week Of 4/8/2012

The first full week of April just happened, and with it came tons of new music. Rappers must have Spring Fever or something because after a period of radio silence, we're now dealing with an outpouring of sounds from some of Hip Hop's favorites. It's a welcome addition to our iPods, but we can't help but wonder what makes an artist extra eager to drop music once the 1st Quarter fades out. Either way, there was a lot on this list from fan favorites. This week proved that musically, March droughts bring April showers.

Eminem and Paris Hilton Helped Out On April Fool's Day

Every year, we at DX enjoy making up a track title on April Fool's Day to a song that probably will never happen. Past hits include "Re-Tox," a made up Detox leak, along with some Lil Wayne and Eminem cameos for good measure. This year we opted for the oh so creative "Shady In Paris," a spin on Jay-Z and Kanye West's "N**gas In Paris," only featuring Eminem and Paris Hilton. That will probably never happen - we know this - but that didn't stop you, the audience from checking it out. We stumped you again, and that little prank made its way to #3. Above that one at #2 was the instantly successful "Theraflu" from Kanye West with DJ Khaled and DJ Pharris. Just in time for Good Friday, it seems like Ye is back with G.O.O.D. Fridays (check out "Mercy" when you can). While a prank and some "Theraflu" made it to the Top 3, the Number One stunna was Kendrick Lamar, as he and Dr. Dre delivered "The Recipe." That made it to #1; maybe KDot can share the recipe for releasing a new album to Dre. Hint Hint.

California Republic Proves That It's All Game Everything

The wait is finally over and Game delivered his latest mixtape, California Republic. Game is never one to shy away from song leaks, and two days prior to the mixtape's release, he began dropping tracks left and right. The first was a DX exclusive (thanks, Game!), "Bills Is Paid" with Nipsey Hu$$le. That landed at #4. At #5? "Skate On" with Lupe Fiasco. At #6? "It Must Be Tough" with Pharrell. Then Game showed up again at #9 with the Fat Joe and Young Chris assisted "Grey Stone." That's four Game tracks on one singles list. Talk about a record! Let's not forget though that T.I. also climbed on board the list this week with his track "Love This Life" in at #7. Depending upon when Trouble Man actually hits, it might be a good idea for Tip to drop a mixtape of his own soon, no? Closing out the list at #10 was Curren$y's joint with Wale, "What It Look Like," and somewhere in between was Childish Gambino's "Eat Your Vegetables" at #8. That's sound advice, Mr. Glover.

Police rescue 7 year-old boy from kidnappers

Asaba – The Police Command in Delta has rescued a seven-year old boy from kidnappers in Asaba, Delta, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Ikechukwu Aduba, said.

Aduba  told newsmen in Asaba on Thursday that the police also arrested nine armed robbery and kidnapping suspects in the last two days.

“We have recovered arms and ammunition and 30 vehicles and working hard to rid the state of hoodlum,.’’ He said.

On the rescued boy, Aduba explained that “after robbing his parents, the robbers took him away in a Lexus Jeep to Ogbe-Ijor Water Side.

`The police accosted the hoodlums and they abandoned their boat, the jeep and the boy and escaped.

“The police attacked another hoodlum’s hideout and rescued two males from kidnappers at Oworhodo village, in Udu, on April 4.

“The items recovered from them included 16 rounds of 9mm live ammunition and eight rounds of live cartridges,” the commissioner said.

He  said that the armed robbery suspects were arrested in Asaba, Aladja, Agbor and Ughelli areas and added that efforts were being made to arrest others now at large.

The commissioner called on the public to assist the police and not to rush to pay ransom to  hoodlums when their relations were kidnapped.

He said that without useful information the police could not work effectively.

Aduba commended Mrs Winifred Akpani, the Managing Director North West Petroleum and Gas Company Limited for donating two Toyota Hilux Vans to the Divisional Police Headquarters, Ibusa, to enhance security in the area.

Inquest into youth killed by police DPO at anti-subsidy removal protest begins

After two adjournments, the judicial inquiry to determine the cause of death of Ademola Aderinto, who was allegedly shot by a police officer during the anti-fuel subsidy protests, began at the Ikeja Magistrate Court on Wednesday with the police calling their first witness.

The inquest was initiated by the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) and Access to Justice, a human rights group, following the death of Mr. Aderinto, 27.

After Olumide Alagbe, a police inspector, entered the witness box to narrate the January 9th incident at Ogba, Lagos, which also led to four others sustaining gunshot wounds; the inquest was adjourned to April 11th.

'Accidental discharge'

Testifying from the written statement of Segun Fabunmi, the Divisional Police Officer who allegedly shot the deceased and who is still in police custody at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti; Mr. Alagbe said that the deceased was "struggling arms with the police."

"In the statement, he (Mr. Fabunmi) said that he received a distress call from the control room that some hoodlums were attacking and dispossessing innocent citizens of the country.

"That when he got there, the hoodlums numbering 200 attacked them, throwing bottles, stones.

"In the struggling, the trigger went off," said Mr. Alagbe.

Mr. Alagbe maintained that the bullet which killed Mr. Aderinto penetrated his right thigh during the struggle; contrary to the postmortem report from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital which stated that the bullet penetrated through the deceased's back.

'A good start'

While addressing journalists after the sitting, Yinka Farounbi, counsel to the NBA, described the commencement of the case "as a very good start."

"We are happy that the police has revealed their witness," said Mr. Farounbi, Ikeja NBA's first vice chairman.

"They have taken the evidence from the police officer from Panti and by the next adjourned date, there will be cross examination of the witness," he added.

Speaking in the same vein, Leonard Dibia, of Access to Justice, noted that the documents tendered by the police would be examined at the next sitting, adding that the inquest would be concluded early.

"There is just one life that was lost and so the physical evidence is really narrowed down to about two or three persons, most importantly, eye witness accounts," said Mr. Dibia.

Cyril Ejiofor, the counsel representing the Commissioner of Police, said that the police have their witnesses and would call them as the case progresses.

"All I can tell you now is that the coroner for that matter has opened," said Mr. Ejiofor.



Rihanna on Chris Brown Reunion: 'I Don't Have Anything to Hide'

Rihanna** doesn't "hate" anyone for having an opinion on her reunion with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown**, but the singer is still going to do what she wants to do.

"I'm still going to do what I want to do," Rihanna told Elle Magazine (via AOL's The Boombox). "It's like, one less skeleton in the closet, one less burden, one less secret; now you know that, so you can say what you want about it. I don't have anything to hide."

"I respect what other people have to say. The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently," she continued in Elle's May Issue, on newsstands April 17. "It's very hard for me to accept, but I get it. People end up wasting their time on the blogs or whatever, ranting away, and that's all right. I don't hate them for it."

Love it or hate it, Rih RIh's "Birthday Cake" remix, featuring Breezy, continues to climb the charts. On March 3, the track debuted at No. 73 on Hot 100 Airplay with 16 million audience impressions and a 372% increase in spins, according to Nielsen BDS. The title also debuted on Hot Digital Songs at No. 62 and No. 71 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The quick start led to a No. 63 debut for "Cake" on the Billboard Hot 100. In its fourth week, "Birthday Cake" moved to top ten of R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and ranks at No. 4, today (April 4).

Rihanna continued to share on how she dealt with the aftermath of her volatile relationship with Brown. "I was going through the hardest time of my life. I was angry, sad, confused, torn. I was still in love. And I needed to talk about it," she said.

She channeled her pain into her music, specifically her fourth studio album, "Rated R" (2009). "That was the only way I could get peace, because it was in my head, and I couldn't leave it there."

"It gave me guns. I was like, 'Well, f*ck.' They know more about me than I want them to know. It's embarrassing. But that was my opening," she said. "That was my liberation, my moment of bring it. I wanted people to know who I am. Whatever they take that to be, good or bad, I just want them to know the truth."

Young Jeezy Concert Cancelled After Gunfire Erupts

A man was shot before a Young Jeezy concert at the Sound Academy in Toronto, Canada at around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday morning (April 5).

According to the Toronto Star, the shooting took place in between the opening acts and before Jeezy, the headliner, could take the stage. The 26-year-old male victim was shot three times in the torso and was left in serious, but stable condition, Toronto Police told the Star. Investigators are still looking for suspects.

The estimated 1,800 fans who crammed into the Sound Academy were evacuated and Jeezy had to cancel his performance.

But the Snowman did take to his Twitter account to promise his faithful Canadian fans that he'll be back in T-dot soon.

"Backstage @ Sound Academy in Toronto!" Jeezy tweeted a few hours after the shooting and shutdown of the venue. "Police closed venue and cancelled the greatest show!!! I will be back! Next stop London, Ontario!"

This marks Jeezy's first full cross Canada tour.

"I played Canada a few times when Lil Wayne and I were on tour and I came out with Drake in Toronto at his festival, but I've never done this many dates," the Snowman recently told the country's National Post newspaper. "I'm excited to bring my energy to the stage.

"Every time I step on the stage, you can't really tell where you are," he added. "Love is love, and by the crowd's reaction I don't know if I'm in Canada, Atlanta or Norway. It all just depends on the night."

Kanye West Confesses Love For Kim Kardashian on "Theraflu"

Kanye West surprised fans Wednesday night (April 4) by releasing a brand new record, "Theraflu."

On the track, which features DJ Khaled and DJ Pharris and was produced by Hit-Boy, 'Ye dedicates a few bars toward his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose and salutes her current partner Wiz Khalifa. In back to back lines, West confesses about falling in love with Kim Kardashian and even takes shots at New Jersey Nets pro basketball player Kris Humphries, whom Kardashian infamously filed for divorce with in October of last year after only 72 days of marriage.

"And the whole industry wanna **** your old chick/Only ***** I got respect for is Wiz/And I'll admit, I fell in love with Kim/Around the same time, she fell in love with him/Well, that's cool, baby girl do your thing/Lucky I didn't have Jay drop him from the team."

The last line refers to Humphries playing for the New Jersey Nets--a team Kanye's big brother, Jay-Z is a minority owner of and is partially responsible for helping to move the franchise to Brooklyn soon.

Late last year, Amber Rose painted Kardashian as a homewrecker, who got between her and Kanye's relationship by sending numerous sexy pictures of herself to West. In turn, Kanye stayed relatively mum about the subject till dropping "Theraflu."

The record isn't the only noise that the Louis Vuitton Don plans on making this week. That's because, 'Ye and his G.O.O.D. Music family plan on dropping "Mercy," the first single off their impending compilation on Good Friday (April 6).

Prophet Caught Sleeping With 5-Months Pregnant Married Woman In A Parked Car

A man got the shock of his life when he caught his PREGNANT wife being intimate with a self-styled prophet in a parked car.

Patrick  (31) could not believe his eyes after his wife Lydia Makoni's illicit sexual exploits with  Njari (40) came to light barely a week after they had consulted him for his services.

Lydia is said to have lied to Patrick that she intended to visit her mother who resides in the same neighborhood, only to discover that she had gone to the prophet [ Njari's] house for her sex-sermons.

Patrick told us our report that he was really shocked after catching his pregnant wife having quality time in the parked car at House No. 12 Nzere Street where the prophet resides.

"I suspect that this illicit affair might have started on the first day we consulted him as he asked my wife to visit him alone the following day for more prayers. My wife is five months pregnant now and I wonder why she was cheating on me to that extend."

"As we speak she is at her mother's house after that incident and I can swear that Njari will never conduct his prayers again at his shrine," fumed Patrick.

In another interview, Lydia also CONFIRMED that she was caught red-handed being swayed by Njari's prophecies.

"It is true that this prophet asked me to come for prayers alone after we visited him along with my husband. He told me that I had no bright future with my husband saying he was planning to marry another girl.

"On the second visit,  Njari gave me US$5 that I used to buy bread and he then seduced me and we ended up having s*x in the parked car," she said. She said she had lied to her husband that she had gone to her mother's place while in actual fact she was seeing the prophet.

"I was convinced by this prophet and I believed him as we were having problems at home with my husband that led us to consult him. He told me that he had fallen for me and that he would look for alternative accommodation in High-field for me although he knew that I was pregnant."

"On the day in question, he gave me a laptop which he said was a token of love and showed me a book which he said was a proof that the car was his and I agreed to his demands before we were caught by Patrick. At home, I had given instructions for Patrick to be told that I was to come back soon," said Lydia.

When we visited  Njari at his shrine, he was not around as he is now playing cat and mouse with Patrick, who allegedly threatened him with death. Neighbors said  Njari had sought refuge at his neighbors place where we finally hooked up with him and he confirmed the story.

He, however, blamed it on Lydia for visiting him at his house before begging us not to publish the story.  After all she is the one who came to my house," he said .

"I am here because Patrick has threatened to kill me and I know he is violent as people around this neighborhood call him Masendeke. I could have died and I was not familiar with him because he is extremely dangerous.

"I know that you reporters would take it wrongly and denounce prophets but to be honest I was not putting on my garments and this was a sin of the flesh.  There was nothing I could do to resist that and I am prepared to marry her if Patrick is no longer interested in her."

"I am a divorcee with four children the first one is 22 years old in the village in Dande under chief Matsiwo. Please do not publish this story. I am prepared to give you a heifer plus US$200 for your lunch and the driver who is with you.

"I am a dealer who buys gold and I have many beasts at my village so do not publish this story, I beg you," said Njari as he pleaded with H-Metro to kill the story.

Njari was also attending to a lady identified as Priscilla in the presence of her friends. She told H-Metro she had been advised to leave her mobile phone after failing to give him US$30 that he charged for the services.

"I thank my God because this man wanted my cellphone after I failed to raise US$30 for the services he offered me. He asked me to remove my blouse before he took long to attend to me to cure my stomach pains. He is a false prophet. I could have lost my Samsung mobile phone," said Priscilla.

Kim Kardashian's Caught Sneaking Out Of Kanye West's Apartment After Spending The Night With Him

Things have apparently taken a romantic turn between Kim Kardashian and long-time friend Kanye West and obviously they are dating.

The pair were pictured leaving a movie theatre in New York last night and Kim was seen exiting the rapper's apartment in the same clothes this morning.

Kim was seen sneaking out of West's apartment following a sleepover, before getting in a car and heading back to her hotel with a bodyguard in tow.
Dressed in a pair of leather trousers and a white vest Kim clearly hadn't got changed after and was dressed in the same ensemble she wore to their cinema date on Wednesday night.

The couple also met up for lunch in Thursday just a few hours after Kim had left Kanye's apartment.

The pair enjoyed food together at Serafina in the city but arrived and left separately.

Kim still had the same leather trousers she had been sporting this morning and the night before but had changed her top and a new jacket.

In another sign things are less than platonic, West has released a new song declaring his love for the 31-year-old reality star.

The singer and rapper also refers to his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose in the song, called Theraflu, following her claims he and Kim had a fling while they were together.
