sorry...it was a mistake...i think the MODERATOR HAS CORRECTED THAT....

Up and coming singer, Yoko B is currently still insisting that Music legend, 2face stole his song; “Amaka” and that the established attire also demanded that he tenders an apology to him.

According to the visibly distraught Yoko B, 2face’s lawyers have reached out to his team demanding an apology.

“They (2face’s lawyers) are demanding for an Apology from us accusing us of trying to taint 2face’s name. Can you imagine? Am I not the one to request for an apology from them for manipulating our song and stealing our concept? Instead of getting us involved before recording theirs. That is pure wickedness and an inhuman act towards a fellow being.

“They used a different producer who works with them in their studio so it won’t look obvious that I was copied, period. They said I should withdraw my statement and write an apology letter to them for trying to defame 2face.

“These people know what they are doing. I am sure that somehow, 2baba must have heard the song. To cover their tracks, 2baba’s version was produced by another producer, Sperochbeatz, but they all work in the same studio.”

“They can’t do such thing to us and expect us to be calm about, we paid money for the production of the said song Amaka. We are still saving up for the video and we have already been negotiating with music video director, Avalon Okpe.

He continued:

“I released my song five months ago and I have been unable to raise funds to shoot the video. The new song, Amaka, by 2baba featuring Peruzzi is my concept. Richie, who also produced the chorus of the song, produced the song.”

“Shortly after producing my song, Larry Gaga employed Richie and he left Festac Town for Lekki where he worked with 2baba. My songs were still on his computer at that point. I was shocked when I discovered that they had ‘stolen’ the title, concept and message of my song”.

“The producer is not saying anything reasonable. All he keeps saying is that is that anyone can sing a song and name it Amaka.

“They said they don’t know what I am saying. They say I’m making a false accusation to gain publicity. But I wonder why the concept and instrumental of the songs are so similar if something isn’t fishy.”

“Right now I’m so fed up with some of our Naija top artistes in the music industry. Once they arrive, they can never help you grow instead they will prefer to reap you off and frustrate you.”

The South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, has blamed criminal elements in his country for the killings of Nigerian resident over there.

He however debunked the rumours that the killings are as a result of xenophobia against non-South Africans and vowed to bring perpetrators to book.

Ramaphosa was responding to a journalist’s question during a joint press conference he held with President Muhammadu Buhari, after their closed-door meeting in Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The South African President, who acknowledged that Nigerians through their support and sacrifice helped end the apartheid rule in his country, said it will be wrong to assume that Nigerians were being targeted as a result of xenophobia, as “South Africans cannot hate Nigerians”.

Ramaphosa explained that the high level of unemployment in South Africa which he puts at 9 million has resulted to crimes that involve and affect citizens and foreigners alike.

He however assured that his government was working hard to reduce crime rate in the country.

He said:

“There has been quite a number of incidence in our country where foreign nationals some of whom are Nigerians have lost their lives and are being attacked. I will like to say here and now that, that has been as a result of criminal activity among our own people which we are focusing on from a criminal element point of view.

“I want to state here and now that South Africans do not have any form of negative disposition or hatred towards Nigerians and in the main Nigerians in South Africa and a number of places of our country live side by side, they cooperate very well and some are in the corporate structures of our various companies and some are traders and some are into a number of things.

“So, I want to dispel this notion that when a Nigerian looses his or her life in South Africa, it is as a result of an intentional action by South Africans against Nigerians. That is simply not true.

Ramaphosa described the situation as disturbing, saying it is capable of hurting the recently-signed Continental Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) aimed at deepening intra-African commerce.

Speaking at the opening of the 25th annual meetings of the African Export Import Bank (Afrexim Bank), Ramaphosa said his administration realizes the role safety and security play in boosting intra-African trade and commerce and as such had begun tackling the xenophobic killings in order to guarantee sustained peace and progress on the continent.

He also revealed that a robust continental security masterplan exists at the African Union (AU) where a peace and security council was addressing the issues of security on the continent.

He said:

“It is tagged silence the guns” all in a bid to achieve security and safety. This free trade agreement has derivatives and want to see how countries grow economically and see how the guns are silenced.

“We have safety of people and movement of goods etc that are fully captured in the CFTA.

He said the CFTA was a most welcome development, urging all nations to sign the agreement in view of the enormous potential inherent in it:

“The agreement is pregnant with opportunities and of course challenges. We can then trade more effectively with one another devoid of tariff and then increase demand for the goods produced and sold. People will see the need to be manufacturing goods since a close market exists.

“It will boost industrialisation and indeed, it presents the grandest opportunities to go behind politics and solve conflicts through trade.”

A retired Director of Mobilisation at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Anthony Ani, has insisted that the purported Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun's exemption certificate is not genuine and “wouldn’t have been issued by the NYSC”.


Adeosun has been under fire recently for skipping the mandatory NYSC year and presenting a certificate alleged to be fake to cover her tracks, Daily Post reports.

She is yet to respond to the allegations since they became public last weekend.

Ani, who appeared on Channels Television’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily, said the certificate had footprints of a fake NYSC certificate.

He insisted that there was no way NYSC would issue Certificate of Exemption to anyone who graduated before 30 years.

“You don’t apply for either NYSC certificate or NYSC certificate of national service or certificate of exemption, you present yourself for mobilisation. The system will determine whether you are to be exempted or you are not to be exempted,” Ani said.

Answering another question, he insisted that “[by] the NYSC procedure, you don’t apply for exemption and expect a certificate. You make yourself available [for mobilisation], when you are mobilised, those who are to be exempted are exempted and those who are to be deployed are deployed.”

Amasa Firdaus, the law graduate who challenged the restriction on the use of hijab during call-to-bar ceremonies says she was used as an instrument by Allah.

It could be recalled that the University of Ilorin graduate was in December denied access into the hall for the ceremony, which took place at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, for refusing to remove her hijab. This generated controversies.

She had insisted that wearing the hijab does not contradict the dress code set by the law school, while describing the action as “a violation of her rights”.

In June, the body of benchers responsible for calling law graduates to bar approved the use of hijab, and Firdaus was called to bar on Tuesday.

Speaking to The Cable on how she felt, Firdaus said:

“I don’t feel any special.

“I feel grateful to my Lord. A Muslim will always be hopeful. It was not something I did myself. A lot of people were involved. I believe it is something that Allah has personally designed, I was just used as an instrument.

“A lot of people were in hijab. I feel grateful to Allah, it is not something I did. It is what Allah did Himself. I don’t feel any special. I just believe Allah decided to use me for it.”

Former President Goodluck Jonathan in his reaction to the alleged attack on governor Ayodele Fayose yesterday in Ekiti State, has urged security agents deployed to the state to be cautious as they carry out their duties.

This was made known to newsmen in a statement issued by the former President’s spokesman, Ikechukwu Eze, according to Punch.

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state had alleged that he was attacked by policemen on Wednesday, July 11, 2018.

According to the former President, the presence of security personnel is supposed to give residents confidence to come out and vote.

GEJ also advised them to carry out their duties within the confines of the law and in a manner that will ensure peaceful elections in Ekiti.

He said:

“I am appealing to the security agencies deployed to Ekiti State for the Governorship election to carry out their duties according to the laws of the land by securing the state in a manner that will enable a peaceful electoral process.

“If it is true that the State Governor Mr. Ayodele Fayose was assaulted as reported in the media, my appeal is that such should not be allowed to happen again, since the Governor’s constitutional immunity guarantees that he should be given official protection to freely conduct the business of governing the State.”

One of the gang leaders, James, who spoke to reporters gave more details on how they conceal their weapons without being detected.

He said:

For the fact that we are likely to encounter security agents on the road and to avoid the risk of being caught, we hide our arm and ammunition under the bonnet of the car. We have designed some sections within the engine that will accommodate the guns. With this it will be hard for Police to detect we are carrying weapons"

The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere, has released a Press Statement to counter the allegations leveled against him by the Imo State House of Assembly.

The state House of Assembly, which commenced impeachment against him on Tuesday during plenary, had accused him of being an ex-convict, among other allegations.

Read the Statement Below:

OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE

PRESS RELEASE

SUBJECT: RE: NOTICE OF GROSS MISCONDUCT

DATE: July 10, 2018

The office of the Deputy Governor of Imo State has received the notice of gross misconduct being circulating round the State and on various platforms on social media platforms signed by 13 members of Imo State House of Assembly that bothers on the following:

1. Absence without official reason or permission duly obtained from office for a period of three (3) months.

2. Failure to perform any of the constitutional function of Office of Deputy Governor of Imo State including but not limited to:

a. Failure/refusal to attend constitutionally mandated proceedings of the State Executive Council;

b. Failure/refusal to attend constitutional mandated proceedings of the State Security Council.

3. Refusal to attend, and to hold meetings with the Governor and Commissioners of the Government of Imo State for the governance of Imo State made compulsory by and under S.193 (2) of the 1999 Constitution

4. Concealment of felonious conduct affecting the presentation of self as eligible candidate of Office of Deputy Governor, Imo State, having been convicted and imprisoned for theft in the United States of America.

We hereby respond as follows:

1. The first claim of absence is rather an old ploy of calling a dog a bad name to hang it. Fortunately, the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere is an administrator per excellence who does joke with his duties especially his constitutional responsibilities. As such he has never absconded from office the period so claimed. He is constitutionally saddled with the responsibilities of superintending Boundary commission. By our records, the Deputy Governor of Imo State has never abdicated from such responsibility or any other . People of Umuoma of Ihitte-Uboma local government, Ihube of Okigwe local government among others can testify of the Deputy Governor’s sagacity in crises resolution with particular reference to April 11, April 16 2018.

His Excellency also participated in one day retreat for Stakeholders in the management of Nigeria boundaries, which held at the Airforce Conference Center, Abuja in the company of the Surveyor General of the State and the Principal Secretary to the Deputy Governor on May 7, 2018.

2. A. Refusal to attend Constitutional mandated proceedings of the State Executive Council is also one of the allegations that cannot stand any administrative procedure. There are laid down procedures through a Deputy Governor or any member of the executive Council can be invited for Executive council meeting. We hereby state that the Deputy Governor has never been invited for such meetings through either a memo or any official notices and thereby cannot stand against the deputy governor.

B. As stated above, the Deputy Governor can only attend a meeting he is officially invited to and he is no spirit to know when meetings are slated except he is duly informed.

3. Refusal to attend, and to hold meetings with the Governor is to say the least another exercise in triviality as the Deputy Governor cannot force himself on the Governor especially when he has been tagged a pariah in the Government circle. We state here that Governor Okorocha has never created such opportunity to meet with the Deputy Governor to discuss the programmes and activities of the Government other than the once we embarrassingly hear by the road side and other sources. To this extent, where the Deputy Governor’s inputs are needed, there are right procedures through which he could be reached either through his Principle secretary and other principal officers or directly to the Deputy Governor.

4. The most embarrassing among the spurious allegations is the annoying allegation of concealment of felonious conduct affecting the presentation of self as eligible candidate of office of Deputy Governor of Imo State. This is not only astonishing but an extreme show of lack of due diligence. The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere has never been convicted of any civil matter let alone a criminal matter.

We are pained to state that two times the Deputy Governor had to go through the pains of losing his freedom in detention were all in the course of saving Owelle Rochas Okorocha from public disgrace. He rather had to carry Okorocha’s cross and bore his shame. It will be recalled that Prince Madumere shortly after Achike Udenwa’s victory at the polls in 1999 where he had to face contempt of Court for failure to make it to the court. He was in detention in the United States for about one month all because he was delayed by Governor Okorocha. To the glory of God, Prince Madumere was acquitted of all charges. We also challenge the members of the House of Assembly to produce the verdicts of the court that convicted Prince Madumere.

The second time he had to stoop that Governor Okorocha may be spared of the humiliation of getting incarcerated, Prince Madumere again yielded and was detained for almost two months on phony charges, which he also been absolved of all charges.

At least 20 people have been injured in a plane crash in South Africa. The incident happened near the city of Pretoria

Photographs taken by bystanders show the wreckage of a Convair plane lying in a field on the outskirts of Pretoria after apparently crashing into a building.

Local emergency services also posted a picture on Twitter showing passengers being helped from the burning wreckage of a plane in a grassy field.

Unconfirmed reports said one person was critically injured.

Russel Meiring, a spokesman for paramedic company ER24, says the injuries range from minor to critical.

"Medics from ER24 and other services are at the scene of a plane crash at Wonderboom in Pretoria,"

"We have 19 injured casualties ranging from minor to critical injuries at this stage and no confirmed fatalities."

Photographs from the scene show a damaged charter aircraft in a field and a damaged building which the plane apparently flew into.

The aircraft was marked "Martin's Air Charter", which was the previous name of the Dutch cargo airline Martinair. The name was changed in 1966.

"I can only confirm that yes we do have a plane that crashed... on the Moloto Road," local government emergency services spokesman Johan Pieterse told the AFP news agency.

The road to the 2018 Ekiti election is already seeing politicians coming to the electorates with their promises of incentives to motivate them to cast their votes in their favor.

Late on Monday, July 9, 2018, the state's governor, Ayodele Fayose, took to his Twitter account (@GovAyoFayose) to reiterate an earlier promise to compensate residents of the state who are illegally arrested by the police or Department of State Services (DSS).

He posted:

"Henceforth, anyone that is arrested illegally by Fayemi and his rampaging Policemen and DSS on this election issue will get N50k for each night spent in detention."

The governor initially made the promise after he met with Aborisade Sunday, a member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), who claimed that he was illegally detained by the DSS for five days.

"They detained me for five days. They put chain on my hands and legs. I cannot hear through my left ear now due to the beating I received from them," Sunday said.

The governor promised him the sum of 250,000, amounting to 50,000 a night, and further promised to reward other members of the PDP in DSS custody.

Fayemi gives free fuel to okada riders

In similar vein, candidate of the All Progressives' Congress (APC) in the July 14 election, Dr Kayode Fayemi, provided free five litres of fuel each to commercial motorcycle riders in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, on Monday.

According to a report by Vanguard, the supply was launched at Mobil Petrol Station along Ikere Road in Ajilosun with the riders forming long queues, many of them reportedly decorating their bikes with the posters of Fayemi.

Fayemi was reported to have showed up to the filling station at about 10:45 am to wild jubilation from the beneficiaries of his free fuel.

He told the riders that he doesn't plan to ban commercial motorcycle operations if elected, as alleged by the PDP, promising instead to provide more incentives including soft loans, equipment, as well as to provide good roads to aid their operations.

He also noted that during his first term as the state's governor, he gave the riders' unions N150,000 monthly allowance for logistics and running of their office, procured 280 motorcycles and 500 tricycles for them, and gave their union a brand new bus.

He said his administration also celebrated Okada Riders' Day and provided 3,000 free helmets for their use.

A tragedy was averted at a Filling Station in Ado the Ekiti, the state capital after a petrol tanker spilled its content on the road moments after offloading.

The incident occurred while the tanker was pulling out of the filling station, spilling the remnant of its contents in the process.

The incident would have escalated into a tragic explosion but men of the state fire service swung into action, preventing a fire outbreak around the tanker or at locations where the split remnant of its content flowed to, via the drainage.

Governor Ayodele Fayose in reaction visited the scene. He warned businesses owners to comply with standards and safety measures while going about their businesses.

“They need to put the interest of the state and the people first. Today, many lives would have been lost because this is a tanker containing PMS.

“In doing business, especially businesses with this kind of sensitivity, like the oil an gas, they have to keep to standard and measures for the safety of our people.

There has been series of Tanker incidents since the Tanker explosion on the Otedola Bridge in Lagos some few weeks backs and this has sparked major concerns among Nigerians on their safety on the roads across the country

Nigerian singer, Damilola Afolabi, aka LAX, was under fire some few days ago after it was reported in the news media that he mentioned in an interview that singer Victoria Kimani was his girlfriend.

Shortly after that, Kimani took to social media to debunk his claims.

She wrote on Instagram, “Lies and corruption.”

However, in an exclusive chat with Sunday Scoop, LAX denied saying that Kimani was his girlfriend. He said:

“It was a misconception. I granted an interview and I said she (Kimani) was my ‘Woman Crush Everyday’. I didn’t say she was my girlfriend. She’s my friend and we are cool; I even have a song with her on my forthcoming album.

However, with what happened, I think I need to change my crush. I am actually not in a relationship at the moment. The major quality I look out for in a woman is someone who is understanding.”

Speaking on his recent song Nobody, in which he featured Wizkid, Afolabi said:

“It has been doing really well. As a matter of fact, it is number eight on the charts right now. I’m grateful to Wizkid for ‘jumping’ on the track with me; it was really great and people are loving it. All the songs Wizkid and I have worked on together have turned out to be great hits; that shows that we have good chemistry between us.”

Kimani

The Gbefun singer also stated that his debut album was nearing completion.

“I have been recording for a while and the album will be released before the end of the year. However, I will be putting out a single next week. Some of the artistes I worked with on the album are Davido, Wizkid and Ycee,” he said.

According to him, the biggest lesson he has learnt in his career is to stay in the studio and keep recording until a hit song comes. The singer also stated that things have been better for him since he left Wizkid’s Starboy Entertainment.

He said:

“I have gained more support since I started out on my own. I feel stronger now because I constantly have to make business decisions.”

Reacting to those who still see him as an up-and-coming singer, Damilola said,

“That is their opinion. My true fans and objective know my worth in the industry.”

Nollywood actor, Bayo Bankole, popular referred to as Alinco, has been off the radar for some time now, but recently surfaced after he was involved in a ghastly motor accident in the United States.

The actor whom so many people believed his career had ended, however refuted the claim and maintained that he is still well grounded in the Nollywood industry.

Speaking with Sunday Scoop, the actor opened up on why he decided to take the chance to move outside of the country.

“My relocation to the United States has not affected my career in any way. I still act and have featured in some movies shot here. I recently acted in a film produced by Lola Alao and it will be released soon. It was shot in Toronto, Canada. I am also involved in promotions of all kinds; working with actors and musicians. I do transportation business as well,” he said.

Explaining why he travelled out of the country in the first place, Alinco said:

“I decided to leave Nigeria in order to get the best for myself and to also equip myself with the most quality training possible in the industry.”

Narrating how the ghastly accident he had in Texas recently happened, he said:

“I was at a traffic light and it was on red. I was waiting for it to turn green when suddenly a vehicle rammed into me. I sustained injuries to my neck and head but give glory to God that it wasn’t more than that.”

On when next he would be returning to Nigeria, he said, “By God’s grace, I should be home on holiday before December.”

Popular singer, Blackface, has called out Nigerian celebrities on their silence on the killings of citizens at different parts of the country. According to him, they are not doing enough to sensitize the world on the vices.

In a chat with Saturday Beats, he said that the killings around the country would have reduced if only Nigerian singers unite with one voice to speak against the menace:

“They have killed a lot of people from my village, Agatu, in Benue. They have also killed people in Makurdi, and other places in Benue; then as they move up north to Adamawa, the trail of dead bodies continues. It does not affect my state alone.

Sadly, the musicians are not doing anything about it. Some musicians just claim that they help victims either to gain public praises or for political reasons. Why can’t we come together and think of ways we can stop the killings probably by staging a concert?” he said.

The singer further mentioned that as a socially conscious singer, he has always sung about the ills of the society but the radio stations would not play his songs because he is in their bad books.

The singer claimed that ever since he raised the alarm that certain singers stole some of his songs, he became blacklisted by the media.

“I did a song which preaches against the killings but radio stations would not play it because I am in their bad books. Simply because I said some people stole my songs, that is why they placed me in their bad books. I know there is a plan against me.

I am an independent musician and I do not need Tuface to push my music. If I release a song titled, ‘Stop the killings,’ and the radio big boys do not play it, only a few people would listen to the message I am preaching which is of national benefit.

The so-called big OAPs like Freeze, who is always talking about pastors, are on the radio but they are not doing anything to push socially conscious songs that preach a message. But if Tekno sings a ‘Jogodo’, they will gladly play it.

Their nonchalant attitude would destroy a lot of things and only bring more chaos. I have always advised the younger artistes to seek the permission of older artistes before they use their songs but no one listened.

Wizkid took my song, ‘Whine it,’ sang it with Banky W and put it on his album, ‘Starboy.’ That same song is on my album, ‘Dancehall business.’ When I raised the alarm, the whole media kicked against me and they stopped playing my music. Yet they say I am the bad one. How long would they keep sabotaging me?” he said.

It is not just by copying and pasting without even checking what you're copying

Pele ooo. Wa ye

An up-and-coming artiste, Analike Okezie with the stage name Yoko B, has accused popular singer, 2face Idibia of stealing his song, Amaka.

Recall that 2face recently released a song titled, Amaka. On the track, the singer sang about a certain Amaka who disappointed him after promising him that she would come to his house.

On the song featuring DMW’s Peruzzi, the singer narrated how he had made arrangements such as buying diesel and alcohol, only for the girl to fail to turn up.

Meanwhile, in Yoko B’s version, the singer also sang about how Amaka broke his heart after she claimed to love him. The beat of the two songs also sound similar.

In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Yoko B said:

“Right now, I am fed up with some of the top artistes in this country. Once they are up there, they can never help you grow. They prefer to rip you off and frustrate your hustle. The new song, Amaka, by 2baba featuring Peruzzi is my concept.

The song was produced by Richie, who also did the chorus of the song. Shortly after producing my song, Richie was employed by Larry Gaga and he left FESTAC Town for Lekki where he worked with 2baba. My songs were still on his computer at that point.

I was shocked when I discovered that they had ‘stolen’ the title, concept and message of my song. I released my version about five months ago and I have been trying to promote it with the little resources I have.

I was already negotiating with Avalon Okpe to direct the video when 2baba released his version. I feel bad that they cheated me because I am an up-and-coming artiste. I want the world to know what has been done to me.”
On whether he had made his grievances known to Richie personally, Yoko B said:

“Yes, I complained to him but he didn’t say anything reasonable. He said anybody can come up with the title, Amaka. But I wonder why the concept and instrumental of the songs are so similar if something isn’t fishy.

I am sure that somehow, 2baba must have heard the song. To cover their tracks, 2baba’s version was produced by another producer, Sperochbeatz, but they all work in the same studio.”

However, a man identified as Richie, who claimed to be his manager answered the call and threatened our correspondent not to publish the story.

He said:

“The guy (Yoko B) is just looking for cheap fame. I am Richie’s manager and I know about the whole story. We really don’t have anything to say concerning the matter. He should go anywhere in the world concerning the issue.

For your own good, I would advise you not to publish the story. I don’t know if Yoko B has the power to finish what he has started.”

When contacted, 2baba’s manager, Efe Omoregbe, stated that he was unaware of the allegation. He said,

“This is the first time I’m hearing about that claim and I cannot comment on what I don’t know about.”

A London-based Nigerian nurse and politician who used voodoo threats to traffic vulnerable women from Nigeria to Germany to work as prostitutes has been jailed for 14 years.

Josephine Iyamu exposed her five victims to a “real and significant” risk of death as they made hazardous journeys across north Africa and the Mediterranean to Italy.

All five women were forced to swear oaths to hand over money during “juju” ceremonies which saw them ordered to eat chicken hearts, drink blood containing worms, and endure powder being rubbed into cuts.

Iyamu, a married 51-year-old formerly of Wilson Grove, Bermondsey, is the first person to be prosecuted in the UK for arranging or facilitating travel for sexual exploitation of victims with no connection to Britain.

As well as being found guilty of five offences under the Modern Slavery Act, Iyamu was convicted of perverting the course of justice while on remand, by arranging for relatives of the complainants in Nigeria to be arrested.


Passing sentence at Birmingham Crown Court, Judge Richard Bond told the Liberia-born nurse that her “vile” offences had left the women in fear of their lives.

As Iyamu stared at the floor in the dock, Judge Bond told her she would have been fully aware of the dangers involved in a four-week land journey across the Sahara to Tripoli in Libya, followed by a sea voyage on inflatable boats.

Passing sentence, the judge told Iyamu:

“Trafficking human beings is an ugly offence – it must always be dealt with severely by the courts to deter others from taking part in this vile trade.

“You showed a complete disregard for the welfare of these women. You saw them not as living, breathing human beings but as commodities to earn you large sums of money.

“All five of your victims had to be rescued from the boat they were on, before being put into a camp in Italy. You understood the potential dangers, you simply did not care.”

As well as physical scarring caused by the voodoo ceremonies, the victims had been “psychologically kept under lock and key” by death threats made during the rituals, the judge said.

Iyamu, who was made a British citizen in 2009 having been allowed to stay in the UK due to her nursing qualifications, is known to have declared a modest income of around £14,500 in 2016/17 from her work as an NHS agency nurse.

But inquiries after Iyamu’s arrest in 2017 found she was able to afford to spend thousands on international air travel and to afford a large home in Benin City in Nigeria – complete with servants’ quarters.

Opening the case at the start of the trial, prosecutor Simon Davis told jurors the complainants endured awful conditions while being trafficked on a route where sexual assaults, rape, kidnap and death were commonplace.

Mr Davis said it was clear that Iyamu, know as “Madam Sandra”, had travelled extensively across Europe and into Africa on a regular basis to meet victims.

Defence counsel John Benson QC told the court Iyamu – the daughter of a politician – had “lost everything” as a result of her conviction, including her hope of pursuing a political career in Nigeria.

A Chinese billionaire Wang Jian, has died after falling off a wall while trying to take a selfie during vacation in southern France, police and his company said Wednesday.

Wang suffered the fatal accident on Tuesday in the picturesque hillside village of Bonnieux after climbing onto a parapet, either to see the view of the valley below or to have his photograph taken, local security sources told AFP.

“He jumped up on to the wall and was carried over it by his own momentum,” a source close to the case told AFP on condition of anonymity.

The 57-year-old businessman, the co-founder of HNA and its second-highest ranking executive, fell into a 10-metre (32-foot) void, sustaining serious injuries that emergency services were unable to treat at the site.

“Together, we mourn the loss of an exceptionally gifted leader and role model, whose vision and values will continue to be a beacon for all who had the good fortune to know him,” his firm said in a statement issued in China.

HNA said Wang, whose personal fortune is estimated at 1.7 billion dollars by Forbes magazine, had been visiting Bonnieux during a business trip to France.

The company started as a small provincial airline servicing China’s Hainan Province but has expanded quickly in recent years under the leadership of Wang and business partner Chen Feng.

Super Eagles player Mikel Obi has opened up that he was in the know on the kidnap of his father before the match against Argentina last week.

However he was warned his father would be killed if he reported anything. A family member called to drop the shocking news as he travelled on the team bus to the stadium in St Petersburg last Tuesday.

The Captain’s father Michael Obi was abducted in south-east Nigeria as he travelled to a funeral along the Makurdi-Enugu expressway from Jos. The footballer said he didn’t tell anyone at the Nigerian Football Federation because he feared they might distract him.

He told Guardian, he had to suppress the trauma, although he was emotionally distraught -he says he had to make the decision about whether he was mentally ready to play.

Mikel Obi said:

“I played while my father was in the hands of bandits,” I had to suppress the trauma. I took a call four hours before kick-off to tell me what had happened.

“I was emotionally distraught and I had to make the decision about whether I was mentally ready to play. I was confused. I did not know what to do but, in the end, I knew that I could not let 180 million Nigerians down. I had to shut it out of my head and go and represent my country first. I could not even inform the coaches or NFF staff and only a very tight circle of my friends knew.

“I was told that they would shoot my dad instantly if I reported to the authorities or told anybody. I also did not want to discuss it with the coach [Gernot Rohr] because I did not want my issue to become a distraction to him or the rest of the team on the day of such an important game. As much as I wanted to discuss it with the coach, I could not.

“Thankfully, my father was safely released on Monday afternoon. I thank the police authorities for their rescue efforts and the support I’ve received from friends and family members. Unfortunately, my dad is now in hospital receiving emergency treatment as a result of the torture he received during his capture.”

Mobile policemen deployed to Maiduguri, Borno State took to the city yesterday in protest against non-payment of their allowances for the past six months.

A video of policemen protesting on Monday in Maiduguri has surfaced despite the denial by the Police.

The Police officers during their protest on Monday barricaded the command headquarters located on Maiduguri-Kano expressway, causing disruption of traffic.

“About 10,000 mobile policemen were deployed to the state from different commands but we have not received our allowances in the past six months,” one of them said.

But a statement by the spokesman for the Nigeria Police Force, Jimoh Moshood, claimed the police officers and men in the state did not protest.

He said some of the Police Mobile Force personnel on Special Duty in Maiduguri went to the Borno State Police Command Headquarters on inquiry over the delay in the payment of their special duty allowance and not on protest as reported in some media.

However, a video has emerged contradicting the statement as policemen were seen carrying leaves and chanting songs, demanding their allowance.
