3 Men Accused Of Raping A UNILAG Undergraduate And Posting Her Nude Photos Online Have Been Granted Bail
Two of the suspects: Aje Olumayowa and Babatunde Bashorun.
Three men, Bashorun Babajide, Aje Olumayowa, and Babajide Ajayi, have
been arraigned before the Tinubu Magistrate's Court, Lagos State, for
allegedly kidnapping and raping a 22-year-old undergraduate of the University of Lagos for turning down love advances from one Babatunde Bashorun.
After raping the girl at Ajose Street, on the Lagos Island, the men also took snapshots of their victim and posted them on the Internet. And within a few days of the upload, the nude photographs went viral on social media, exposing Titiloye to ridicule and shame.
The crime was said to have been
uncovered and reported to the police after the attention of the family
members of the victim was called to the pictures circulating online.
The police told the court on Thursday that Babajide, Mayowa and Ajayi also assaulted and attempted to murder their victim.
The three accused persons were
arraigned for kidnap, rape, assault, battery, unlawful detention and
attempted murder, but the complainant was not in court because she had
not recovered from her ordeals in the hands of the culprits.
The alleged rapists were eventually granted bail in the sum of N100, 000 while the matter was adjourned till October 2.
Femi Fani Kayode responds to Bianca Ojukwu's threat to sue him
“We have been briefed and our services retained by Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain to demand from you an unreserved apology and a retraction of a false and malicious statement, which you published online and also caused to be published in the Leadership Newspaper of August 16, 2013.
"In the said article entitled, ‘Neither a Tribalist nor a Hater,’ you recklessly alleged, as follows: ‘I was not a tribalist when I had a long standing and intimate relationship with Miss Bianca Onoh…’, a statement, which you know is untrue and unfounded, but only calculated to lower our client’s esteem and damage her national and international reputation.
"Our client has never met you, does not know you in person and has never had any official or private relationship with you how much more ‘a long-standing and intimate relationship.’
“Our client is therefore, outraged by your bizarre and scandalous allegation and the numerous mails and telephone calls she has received from friends, relations and admirers who are equally embarrassed and who seek to confirm the veracity or otherwise of your false and reckless publication.
“Your apparent lame and half-hearted attempt, as published in the Leadership Newspaper of 17th August 2013, to clarify your false and malicious allegation falls far short of a retraction and does not sufficiently address the damage to our client arising from the widespread dissemination of your false publication and is therefore unacceptable to our client.
“In the circumstances, we demand, on the instruction of our client that you submit to her a clear and unqualified apology and retraction published in The Sun and Thisday newspapers in addition to having the retraction published online.
“Take note that should you fail to tender the apology and publish a retraction of your false and malicious publication, seven days next after your receipt of this demand notice, our further instructions are to seek appropriate redress in court. And that shall be without further recourse to you. Be properly guided.”
Chief Femi Fani Kayode's response via his spokesperson - Mr Bisi Lawal
This morning Cheif Femi Fani-Kayode woke up to find a letter that was published as an advertorial in Thisday Newspaper purportedly by Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu's lawyer threatening to sue him for mentioning her in his article and claiming that she has never met him before. She also said that he was being malicious. The matter has of course been reffered to Chief Fani-Kayode's lawyers who will now take it up.
Ordinarily he would have not have said a word about this matter because he sympathises with her for whatever she may have been going through. However now that she has put it in the public realm Cheif Fani-Kayode is compelled to formally respond. To the assertion that he never knew her and that they were never friends he says this is false and he asks why would he lie? The public evidence is to the contrary. Chief Fani-Kayode would not want to say anything to embarrass her because that would be ungentlemanly.
He sympathises with her delicate situation and once again he expresses his regrets about the fact that his statement about her was misconstrued. We shall just leave it at that.

Nollywood And ANCOP Go Before EFCC Over Governor Akpabio’s N50m Largesse
The Nigerian movie industry otherwise known as Nollywood is poised for a showdown as the Association
of Nollywood Core Producers, ANCOP, has petitioned EFCC and SFU over
the N50 million largesse donated by Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa
Ibom State to support the industry.
The association is alleging massive fraud in the disbursement of the fund. It has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) to investigate the matter
According to a copy of the petition signed by the association’s
President, Comrade Alex Eyengho, the group is asking the agencies to
invite the National President of the Association of Movie Producers,
AMP, Zik Zulu Okafor, the National President of the Directors Guild of
Nigeria, DGN, Andy Amenechi; the Secretary General of the Actors Guild
of Nigeria, AGN, Yakubu Abubakar and actress Stephanie Okereke- Linus
Idahosa for obtaining the fund and disbursing it without the consent of the industry’s stakeholders.
Part of the petition dated August 19, 2013 and addressed jointly to the EFCC and SFU, read thus:
“On June 15, 2013, news broke out that some Nollywood stakeholders under the auspices of a non-existent ‘Guild of Nollywood Stars’ visited Governor Akpabio in his office in Uyo for the purpose of collecting the N50 million pledge to Nollywood.
“The Governor presented to the visitors a prototype post-dated (25-06- 2013) Zenith bank cheque number 00063639 with Akwa Ibom State Government as the account name, issued in favour of Guild of Nollywood Stars. “We also gathered that the Governor, in his usual generosity, gave each of the visitors N500, 000 cash. “Expectedly, the massive publicity given to the entire episode by the press generated heated debates. In fact, it polarised the industry till today.“Suspecting fraud, ANCOP immediately raised the red flag when it queried the use of a non-existent ‘Guild of Nollywood Stars’ to access the N50 million pledge, by those who visited Governor Akpabio.“We are demanding that you immediately commence a full-blown investigation into the alleged fraudent act over the N50 million Governor Akpabio gave to Nollywood to carry out a specific task but now domiciled in the account of one of the the over 30 associations and guilds in Nollywood…Sir, anything short of this is an invitation to anarchy in Nollywood.”

Sean Kingston Sued For Alleged Gang Rape
Carissa Capeloto -- now 22 -- claims she was forced to have sex with Sean, his bodyguard and a member of Sean's band at a Seattle hotel in July, 2010, after she had smoked pot and downed 7-10 shots of vodka.
Capeloto -- who has sued all 3 men -- alleges she'd been invited to Kingston's hotel room for a meet-and-greet following a Bieber concert -- where Kingston had also performed -- but when she showed up ... Kingston was waiting naked on his bed.
Capeloto claims the bodyguard picked her up and placed her on top of Kingston, and all three of the men proceeded to gang rape her while she was "obviously intoxicated, incapable of consent."
Capeloto says her friend later entered the room and rescued her. The police were called and Capeloto was taken to the hospital where she says she was treated for physical injuries consistent with rape.
She says her life has been ruined ... she can barely sleep, has mood swings and panic attacks. Capeloto wants $5 mil minimum.
BTW ... criminal charges against Kingston were dropped in 2010 after cops concluded Capeloto wasn't credible enough for a legit case.
Kingston has filed legal docs insisting the sex was 100% consensual.
Trial is set for November.

Jennifer Lopez Lands $17.5m Deal To Return To American Idol
Ja Lo is being paid an astounding $17.5m to return to her post as judge on American Idol next season.
'There was a lot
of back and forth negotiating on her salary, but now it's finally been
settled that Jennifer will earn $17.5m to go back to Idol next season,' a
source told MailOnline exclusively.
'It's a major coup for her to land a huge payday like that and I believe
she is thrilled with that number. It's a lot more than the $15m Britney
Spears was paid to do The X Factor.'
In mid-August there were rumours that Jennifer, the mother of
five-year-old twins Max and Emme, was getting a $15m salary for her
third season of Idol, but the figure is actually higher.
The $17.5m salary is a big leap from the $12m paycheck J-Lo was handed
for her first season of Idol in 2011. For her second season she was
given a $3m raise to $15m.
It was reported last year that when Jennifer asked for another $2m raise
to come back for her third season the Idol producers refused and she
walked.

Ese Walter Replies Critics! The Past Few Weeks Has 'Killed' Me
When I sat with my MacBook to type my last blog, I never imagined it would generate the kind of attention it did and continues to. I have one last thing to say on this issue before I lay it to rest and move on. (I also hope others can move on too, we have too much going on in this Country to continue to peddle one for longer than necessary.)
A very big thank you to everyone that has felt it necessary to talk about this issue and spread it throughout Nigeria and the foreign scene. I read every email sent to me with awe that people would take the time out to reach a total stranger like me. Some were cursing, calling me a witch from the pit of hell sent to destroy the church as though one individual/church is bigger than the body of Christ. As though God is mere man and would cringe in heaven saying, “Ese don did it this time.” Or as if the good Book didn’t state clearly that ALL things work out for good for those
that love God.
Do you love God? If yes, trust that it will ALL turn around for good.
Some people say, ‘I support you, you are brave and courageous’ and I wonder if those terms really define me. I do not think I am brave or courageous. I do know, however that after decades of sleepwalking through life, I am now becoming aware not just of myself but also of my environment, my world, and the universe.
Some say, put out the evidence and we will believe you. Hmmm, the morning I sat to write that post, I really didn’t expect anyone to believe me. Well, apart from those involved. And my motive was simple, let one more woman be spared. Let one more minister of the gospel be mindful and let the church rise up to its responsibilities as God’s legal representatives here in the earth realm.
A copy of the ‘evidence’ is with a respected minister of the gospel should the christian body decide to deal with this issue now and that becomes needful. I am not looking to have a ‘me against them’ case where I need to prove I’m right and someone is wrong. I am far from right, but I have used the only means available to me to free myself of the bondage I put myself in.
Lastly, to all the media people seeking interviews and whatever else mailing me, I have nothing more to say on this issue. I cannot reply every email as reading them is beginning to seem like a new job.
I remember asking a friend once while reading the book of Acts, “Why do we no longer operate in the power the disciples did in Jesus day?” What has changed? How do we ‘unchange’ it?
God is not mocked, if we serve Him, let’s serve Him. We cannot continue to grow as a Nation by oppressing, delaying justice, hating, having the ME ME ME mentality. As Martin Luther King Jr said, ‘no one is free until we are all free.’
Things have got to change and it begins with us. It begins with each and every one of us borrowing courage to stand for what we believe in. Fela Durotoye once said, ‘that thing that annoys you most in society is a sign that you carry its solution.’ (I’m
paraphrasing)
Nothing has called out to me more than people, especially women, suffering in some way and hiding the pain. Whatever we cover doesn’t go away. It grows and it finds different outlets to rear its ugly head until we deal with it.
I am not perfect, I will never be, but I am enough to try what I feel might work. I don’t know what the entire bible says but I am learning and applying the little I find out daily. And I think everyone owes it to himself or herself to figure it out for themselves.
At the end of the day, we agree that ‘men of God’ are firstly men, right? This means it’s needless expecting them to help you in your growth with God. I fell into that trap of thinking a ‘man of God’ is equated to God and it is not new to find people fall in that hole.
How do you begin to learn to serve a God you have never seen? It takes another level of faith to do that but we live in a generation/Country where people don’t want to study for themselves. They don’t want to read the Scriptures. Well, they don’t want to read, period. They want to pursue things instead and have somebody do the praying and studying for them. If you fall in that category, you need to repent.
I learnt that when the veil was torn, we all were given equal access to the Father. No matter how long you may have been in church, if you don’t know what that means you better ask somebody. And seek a real relationship with the God you claim to serve.
That is what I am spending most of my time doing these days. Praying, studying, seeking, knocking. The peace I have felt despite all the hate mails and tantrums shows that God is not angry with me and I did what I needed to do to the best of my understanding.
My apologies to everyone this has affected in one way or another.
Firstly, my family: I don’t know how you guys aren’t sick of me yet ;)
Secondly, ‘the body of Christ,’ my intention was never to cause trouble but to stop a rot I felt might spread and become worse if nobody spoke up about it.
Lastly, to those who said I shouldn’t blog again, I respect and understand your concerns but the truth is, writing is not just my gift, it is also my ‘curse’. I cannot ‘NOT’ write but I PROMISE, this is the last I will say on this issue except the christian body needs to see me.
God is building His church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. No sin is too big to wreck anyone’s faith. If it does, then it means it’s working out a greater good for you. You will definitely come out stronger and better in the end. Like my best friend says “in the end, it will be all right and if it ain’t alright, it’s not the end.”
“…forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Paul.
Cheers to the weekend people.
Fake CNN Reporter Swindles Bayelsa Government And Officials
Paul Yempe, who passed himself off as a journalist working for the US-based Cable News Network (CNN), succeeded in swindling key officials of the Bayelsa State government.
The fraudster obtained various sums of money running into millions of
naira from state officials who were desperate to receive favorable
coverage about the state beset by rising insecurity and incessant
kidnappings.
Investigations by SaharaReporters revealed that Allison Okuro, the secretary to the Bayelsa government, as well as Martins Fefegha, the state's commissioner of Information, were among the victims who lost money in the fraudulent deal that was recently exposed.
A source said the fake reporter had moved round several government ministries, departments and agencies collecting bribes before his luck ran out.
Our reporter learned that Mr. Okuro, a professor, had offered hotel accommodation to the imposter and had written a memo seeking the release of funds for a phony documentary promised by the fake reporter in addition to advance cash payments to Mr. Yempe.
Contacted to react on his involvement, the Commissioner for Information
declined to state the amount of money he had advanced to the fake
journalist. He however admitted that there were plans to lodge money
into the reporter’s account before the deceptive deal came to limelight.
Mr. Yempe was taken into custody when he approached the Bayelsa State Commissioner for Energy to solicit funds for an interview for a supposed documentary to be aired on CNN.
Police spokesman Alex Akhigbe confirmed the arrest, but said the case
was still being investigated. He declined to mention the number of
officials fleeced of cash by the fake reporter or to reveal the amount
involved.
A reporter in Bayelsa told SaharaReporters that Mr. Yempe is a senior staff of Radio Rivers in Port Harcourt.
CNN could not immediately confirm if it has any connection with the suspected fake reporter.
Woman battered for cautioning her lover against smoking marijuana
A woman who thought she was in a position to give advice to her lover has received a shocking blow, literally.
Temitope Oladejo, 26, obviously
meant well when she advised her lover, Ahmed Babalola, against smoking
marijuana aka Indian hemp but Babalola didn’t take it too well. He
battered her and left her with a dreadfully swollen face.
According to reports, she said:
“He beats me at the slightest provocation,
particularly when I cautioned him against smoking Indian hemp. My worry
was not only his smoking attitude but the fact that each time, he comes
asking me to give him money and when I refused, he would beat me up.”
“He came back home recently and I found a wrap of
Indian hemp on him. I knew he smokes but never knew he was into Indian
hemp. I pleaded with him to quit but he kept quiet.
“Next day, I told him I was going to visit my mum
that was ill. He also said he was going out but that he was not having
any money on him. I told him I had N300 which I opted to share with him”
But when I went to take my bath, he searched my bag
and found N2,000. He asked where I got the money from and I told him it
was not mine. At that point, he started ranting, looking for an avenue
for another round of beating.
I reminded him that I was not owing him because he
usually goes out and comes in without caring to drop money for our
little daughter’s upkeep. Before I knew it, he gave a hot slap on my
face and started beating me. When I attempted to shout to alert
neighbours, he picked a towel and gagged me. I managed to escape . But
by then, he had inflicted injuries all over my face”
Asked why she had not bothered to report to her
family or that of Babalola, she disclosed that they were not legally
married. Also asked why she did not deem it fit to report the matter to
the police, she said
“I have on several occasions reported the incessant
battering to the police. But each time, they would ask me to go home
and resolve the issue with him.
“I’m sorry for embarrassing Nigerians but I don’t regret all I said at the chase” – Beverly Osu
Two days ago, Beverly Osu and Melvin Oduah (Nigerian housemates at
the just concluded #BBATheChase) had a press conference at Protea Hotel,
Victoria Island, Lagos.
Beverly Osu on recounting her personal experiences in the Big Brother House disclosed thus:
Melvin on the other hand had this to say:
On the experience
Considering that I and Beverly were chosen to represent the country and the fact that we were in the House from the beginning to the end, made our participation in the show remarkable. There are a lot of people who don’t know anything about Big Brother. For me, I learned a lot of things while in the House.
My journey
I contested for 2009 Gulder Ultimate Search, and I emerged the first runner up.
I contested for Mr Nigeria in 2011 and again, I finished as the first runner up.
Now, I contested for Big Brother Africa-The Chase and also finished in the fourth position. But I am not The Chase.
I think we can also take time to look at the positive side of the show. It is not easy to participate in these major competitions and making to the finals. So, I think I should be given some credit.
It is also painful when you have worked so hard to make it to the finals, only to miss winning the ultimate price.
His future plans
I’m taking my acting career to the next level.
Winning strategy
Before I was chosen to represent my country, I was regularly asked what winning strategy I would adopt while in the House. I kept repeating the same thing “I was going to be myself and nothing else. The Melvin you meet in real life was the same Melvin you watched in the Big Brother House. Nothing about me was unreal or done to make people like me or hate me. I thank Nigerians for voting for me . I will always be a proud ambassador of the country.
“In BBA House, the experience was awesome. Though it was challenging, God really saw me through. It is something everybody should look forward to participating in.
I don’t believe I was cheated during the grand finale. Housemates from West Africa were not only united but, we dominated the House. Whoever won the show really deserved to win. For me and Melvin, having made it to the finals, we are equally winners in our own rights. At least, we brought something home to show for our efforts.
Having sex with South Africa’s Angelo!
I did not have sex in the House. I had a relationship with Angelo Collins but we did not have sex. I loved him and I still love him. I am a blunt person and very real. People that knew me before BBA know that I don’t pretend to be who I am. If it happens, you fall in love, you can’t fake it. I did not have sex with Angelo.
I was under the bathtube, but we never had sex. Maybe, the camera made it look so. Everybody gets naked to have their bath, so I don’t think it is wrong for me to be naked when I have my bath too. There was no way. I couldn’t be different because I went for a reality show. So, I should not be judged by what people saw during the show since I didn’t intentionally bring out my video for all to see. .Big brother did that.
Winning strategy
I am a very blunt person. Melvin can testify to this claim because he stayed with me for ninety one days in the House. I was only talking to my fellow Housemates. And I don’t regret anythin I said about myself and my family. This is because if I have to be on this platform, people have to know the real me and what I have been through.
On her plans for the future
I’ll continue with my online reality show “Beverly Says” and I’ll complete my education. I also intend to go into acting. I’m a 200 level student of the National Open University of Nigeria, where I am studying Mass Communication.
My mum’s reaction
My mum has tutored me very well. Even if the whole world rejects me today, my mum can’t reject me. I love my mum so much. I’m her only daughter and the last child in the family. I have always been there for her, just as she has always been there for me. I will not disappoint my mum intentionally by saying she this or she’s that…
Embarrassing Nigerians
I don’t feel happy about it because this is the first time, I represented the country in any continental competition. But the fact remains that if you didn’t go for it, you wouldn’t know how it’s in the House. I wasn’t there with my cell phone to be able to communicate with the outside world. I was just there alone.
I’m sorry for embarrassing my country. I didn’t do it intentionally. My participation in the show was not to embarrass my country. I am a proud Nigerian.
On featuring in a porn production by Afrocandy
I heard about it. Thanks for the offer but no. I participated in BBA to be myself –

I used to scare boys when I was younger – Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde
“I have two younger brothers and was a tomboy, fiercely
independent. I used to scare boys from a very young age. They found me
too much, because I knew what I wanted and I’d boss them around. In
those days my mother would joke that I would never find a husband.”
screen goddess disclosed in a recent interview with a UK-based
newspaper, Telegraph.
She stated that she had two younger brothers and that rubbed off on
her making her a tomboy, adding that her mother used to make jokes that
she would not find a husband, ironically she met her husband when she
was 16 years old.
A daddy’s girl while growing, Omotola said that she was close to her late father who used to treat her like a boy. Her father, a manager of Lagos Country Club, died in an auto crash when she was just twelve years old.
She said, “My father was a different kind of African man. He was very
enlightened. He always asked me what I wanted, and encouraged me to
speak up. He treated me like a boy.”

Female Passenger Causes Panic Aboard Aero Flight Yesterday
Barely one week after a teenage boy, Daniel Ohikena caused a scare when he stowed away on an Arik Air plane from Benin to Lagos, another woman took over last Friday.
Passengers aboard an Aero Contractors aircraft scheduled to take-off from Lagos to Benin were Friday thrown into confusion as one of the female passengers started screaming on top of her voice that she was no longer travelling.
She was initially ignored by members of cabin crew and passengers alike but when she continued screaming, her persistence led to panic and suspicion among the passengers.
Vanguard reports her strange behavior led to the delay of the Benin- bound aircraft for two hours as all the passengers were asked to disembark while the plane was screened again.
All the checked-in luggage were also off-loaded for proper screening by both Aero and Aviation Security, AVSEC, of the Federal Airports authority of Nigeria, FAAN.
But despite the re-screening of the already checked in passengers and their luggage, nothing suspicious was found on board.
According to an eye witness:
All passengers were already onboard and the pilot was preparing to take off before the woman started the strange behaviour. At first, no one took her seriously, but when the shouting and soliloquy continued, the passengers became apprehensive and ordered the pilot to abort the flight.
The situation was not funny at all. In fact, the woman was speaking in a language which no one understood. But I can tell you authoritatively that all the passengers have been taken to Benin with the same aircraft and they landed in the airport safely.
This was not the first time such an incident would be happening. In fact, it is common among first time travellers but no one knows the motive behind this act. However, I believe the security agents will do their work and reveal what led to the strange behaviour.”
Syria expects an attack ‘at any moment’ – security official
DAMASCUS (AFP) – Syria expects a military attack “at any moment”, a security official told AFP Saturday, just hours after UN experts probing a suspected gas attack blamed on the regime left the country.
“We are expecting an attack at any moment. We are ready to retaliate at any moment,” said the security official, who wished to remain anonymous.
US President Barack Obama on Friday gave his clearest indication yet that an attack was imminent after his intelligence experts concluded Syria’s regime had unleashed poison gas on civilians
