Jilted Lover Stabs Himself To Death In Ogun State.

A 33-year-old-man has died for love in Abeokuta, Ogun State after having a disagreement with his fiancee.


The man identified as Oluwatosin Otaiku allegedly stabbed himself to death at the weekend, few weeks after he was told by his fiancee, Olaogun Oluwatoyin that she was no more interested in the relationship.

Soon after Oluwatoyin broke the engagement, the deceased’s neighbours, who were aware of the development reportedly called the two lovers to make peace between them, with a witness saying that the duo were made to discuss in private inside a shop at Safari junction in Onikolobo not suspecting that the deceased came to the venue with a knife in case the outcome went against him.

Despite the efforts of the peacemakers, Oluwatoyin was said to have maintained that she couldn’t continue with the relationship.

On hearing this, the deceased reportedly brought out the knife which forced Olaogun to storm out of the shop thinking she was the target.

Olaogun immediately alerted neighbours who rushed to the scene and met the deceased stabbing himself.

He was rushed to Mercy Hospital, Panseke before he was later referred to Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Idi-Aba in Abeokuta but he died on the way to the hospital.

Reacting to the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed that the police were still holding Olaogun until a postmortem examination is carried out on the deceased.

Adejobi explained that the command was still examining the statements by the suspects, who were arrested from the scene of the incident and eyewitnesses.

“The lady is still with us, she is still our suspect for now until we carry out a proper investigation on the corpse. We need some time to study the statements but the expert’s opinion is to carry out a postmortem on the body.”

Pastor-Owner Of Ikorodu Ritualists’ Den Arrested

hyThe General Overseer of Holy Family Ministry, a.k.a House of Mercy, located in Ogolonto area of Ikorodu, Lagos, Pastor Ernest Nwankwo, who was alleged to have sent a member of his church to kidnap a boy for ritual purpose last week has been arrested by the police.


Nwankwo, 50, an indigene of Nsugbe, Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State is now being held at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, Lagos.

It would be recalled that a ritualist’s den was uncovered in a building owned by the suspect last Wednesday, with at least eight victims said to have been kidnapped from different parts of the country, rescued.

The den was uncovered following the apprehension of a mother of four, Mrs Rosemary Chukwu, who hid a seven-year-old boy inside a box. She confessed to have abducted the boy, identified as Emmanuel Emeka, on the instruction of her Pastor (Ernest Nwankwo) for ritual purpose.

The police had since been on the trail of the pastor, who was reportedly nabbed at Ebute Metta yesterday, following a tip off.

Police sources hinted to Vanguard that the Pastor denied that the building on 7, Oshodi Street, where some victims were reportedly rescued, was not used for ritual purpose but was used to keep lunatics.

Commenting on the issue, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide confirmed Nwankwo’s arrest. “Yes, the Pastor has been arrested today around Ebutte Meta,”
she said.

Nigerians attack Joseph Yobo’s wife on social media after Super Eagles World Cup exit

http://api.ning.com/files/4O6eIqcn6-7Oza7xLfTnt54CZSaZNyTfFKcky3De7Iwj-sfHAPMlleCOvGUXdxrSYAiO8TdopY-K9tKPWdQm1WEjM6tFjNMM/ada.jpg?width=430Nigerians on social media have let all hell loose of Adaeze Yobo, wife of Super Eagles skipper Joseph Yobo, following the team’s exit from the on-going World Cup in Brazil.


Nigeria was knocked out of the second round after suffering a defeat against France.

Les Blues won by two goals to nil thanks to two late goals – the first from french midfielder Paul Pogba and an own goal from Joseph Yobo.

Shortly after the match, Nigerians took to social media to express their disappointment in some of the team’s players including Mikel Obi and the team’s captain Joseph Yobo, stating that they should not have not made Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi‘s final selection.



Others have turned on Yobo’s wife, former beauty queen Adaeze, using her as a point of contact to get to her husband. ‘Let’s report Adaeze’s IG as spam that way we won’t see Yobo’s face for awhile‘, model @KingUcheUdoh wrote. Another user @sketch_aj wrote ‘I think you need leave your man he isn’t loyal‘.

On Instagram, people commented on Adaeze’s last photo upload with derogatory remarks like; ‘you are disgrace to your family and Nigeria entirely‘ – @nashawnhunt and ‘Rotfl…I actually didn’t notice yobo during this world cup competition until now..dude sealed d deal..@adaezeyobo no mind dem jare‘ – @juxsugar.



Her fans however supported her by fighting back at the ‘critics’. ‘Mad people!! What did yobo do? Is he the first to score an own goal? Besides France had scored their first goal. .so all you rude peeps that didn’t even watch the match should shut up and free adaeze!! Enyeama did well but at the end committed blunder!! Send them not @adaezeyobo‘, wrote @janeiyke.



Joseph Yobo made his 100th appearance for the Super Eagles against France….
