‘I am happy my name is being cleared and I want justice’ – Wizkid on alleged impersonators

About two weeks ago, Ifeoma Nelly, a 200-level Industrial Chemistry student of Delta state university and her cohorts were arrested for allegedly impersonating Nigerian pop star, Wizkid.

The arrest of the fraudsters has been a welcome development for Wizzy who said the act had put a dent on his personality in certain quarters.

‘I am very thankful to the Nigeria police for what they did for me. The case has been going on for a while now, I thank God we have been able to arrest one of the suspects. We would pursue this case to the court and ensure we get justice,’ the singer said in a recent chat with Guardian.

'El Guero', co-founder of feared Sinaloa drug cartel, released early from US jail

Drug lord Hector “El Guero” Palma, one of the founders of the Sinaloa cartel, returned to Mexico on Wednesday after serving almost a decade in a US prison.

US authorities handed over Palma in Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Texas, according to a Mexican federal official who requested anonymity due to a lack of authorization to speak publicly on the matter. The US embassy in Mexico confirmed Palma’s transfer in a statement.

Palma was arrested in June 1995 in western Mexico and later extradited to the US where he pleaded guilty to cocaine trafficking charges and was sentenced to 16 years in prison. The US embassy said Palma received early release for good behaviour.

Palma had been released from federal prison in California on Friday and put into the custody of US immigration officials.

Alligator attack at Disney World: two-year-old boy's body recovered from lake

It should have been a dream vacation, a trip to the theme parks of Disney World to celebrate the start of the school summer break. But a family’s holiday at the so-called happiest place on Earth came to a horrifying end on Wednesday when the body of their two-year-old boy was recovered from a lake after he was snatched and dragged in by an alligator.

The father of the toddler fought with the animal, authorities said, but could do nothing except watch the alligator disappear back into the deep water with his son in its jaws.

On Wednesday afternoon, following an extensive 16-hour search and rescue effort by dozens of emergency personnel using sonar equipment, divers found and recovered the body of Lane Graves.

“There’s no question in my mind that the child was drowned by the alligator,” Orange County sheriff Jerry Demings had said at a 4.30pm press conference.

Shocking moment a knife-wielding man attacks a woman in broad daylight

A man was filmed attacking a woman with a knife in broad daylight, at a busy roadside in Datong City, Shanxi province, northern China. From the video shared, it looked like he was trying to kill her by trying to stab her several times with a large knife as she lay on the road.

The Maniac stayed on top of her and tried to cut her as she screamed for help. Trying to escape from his grasp, she courageously fought back, grabbing his wrist in a desperate bid to protect herself. 

 

What was disturbing about this video was that no one tried to help her, including the person filming it. It was a brave man who spotted them from the other side of the road that rushed over to her rescue and overpowered the frenzied street slasher from behind. Several male passersbys who were closer now joined to beat and tie him up. Local police have reportedly started an investigation into the crime. It's unclear if the man knew the woman...

SHEHU SANI: I NEVER MADE ANY STATEMENT AGAINST AMAECHI

 

My attention has been drawn by a close friend to a statement against Rt Hon Rotimi Ameachi,Minister of Transport, credited to me.

The statement is nothing but absolute falsehood and a complete fabrication of those who authored it.I have never made such a statement and there is no reason to.

My views on local,national or international issues are always posted and pasted on my blog or social media handle of which there is none of this.Those who want to fight "wars they need to fight" should have the courage to do so and not hide behind someone to fire their bullets.

I advice those mischief makers to stop using my name and desist from engaging in such defamatory and libelous statements against the Hon Minister.

Again,I'm restating that the statement is nothing but a thrash of falsehood.

Thank you

serving temperatures".
"These results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of oesophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible," said Dr Christopher Wild, director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

The agency reviewed more than 1,000 scientific studies on the possible cancer-causing properties of coffee and the popular South American herbal infusion mate.

Orlando shooting victims give terrifying accounts of massacre at gay club that left 49 dead

Injured survivors of Sunday morning's massacre at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida, told their stories at a press conference from Orlando Regional Medical Center on Tuesday.

Angel Colon, who was shot three times - in his leg, hand, and hip - told reporters that he survived the shooting "by the grace of God."

By Colon's recollection, the gunman, who has since been identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, opened fire on the club's dance floor before moving toward the bathrooms.

"All I could hear were gunshots," said Colon, who was shot once in the leg when the gunman first started shooting before falling to the ground.

His leg was shattered when clubgoers trampled over him while trying to escape the shooter.
