Celebrities / Capt. Hosa Okunbo Pictured With Ex British Prime Minister, Tony Blair And Wife by Edithfavourite: 3:03pm On Dec 08, 2018 |
Very few magnates excite the splendid tribute of a cheer in the wake of their most glorious feats. But Captain Hosa Okunbo, the chairman of Ocean Marine Solutions and entrepreneur extraordinaire, effortlessly commands the relentless tribute of a cheer at home and abroad. Predictably, his ascent to the top was never a walk in the park. It required paying his dues and shunning the frivolous. Hence you would never find Okunbo concentrating on anything beyond business and philanthropy. However, at the prestigious Omnia Strategy cocktail reception for all their worldwide clients and associates, at the Connaught Hotel, Mayfair, London, Captain Hosa Okunbo was one of the prominent guests. Dressed in sharp suit, he was understandably conspicuous at the event as he had enough time to chit-chat with other international businessmen. Interestingly, Dr. Okunbo was with the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair and his beautiful, Lady Cherie Blair, throughout the high-octane event. And even though they come from two different cultures of economics and socio-politics, Tony and Okunbo, projected a wonderful medley of industry and excellence as they met. Hosa and the Blairs during the dinner, cut an enthralling picture as they laughed and enjoyed the merriments of the evening. https://zenithnaija.com/capt-hosa-okunbo-pictured-with-ex-british-prime-minister-tony-blair-and-wife/ lalasticlala dominique Mynd44

Crime / Alleged Heir To The Throne Of Great Ife Arrested For Kidnapping American Woman by Edithfavourite: 11:53am On Nov 27, 2018 |
The Department of State Services (DSS) yesterday rescued an American citizen, Tawanda Lynn Jackson, who was held hostage by one Mathew Adedoyin, her acquaintance, whom she had met on social media. Parading the prime suspect and his accomplice at the DSS Lagos command, director of the command, Mrs. Betty Adoki, said Jackson, 46, who had arrived in Lagos on November 11 and was received at the airport by Adedoyin, was held hostage on November 21, where she was allegedly raped several times by the suspect. According to her, the American Embassy in Lagos had reported to the command about Jackson’s abduction and they immediately commenced investigation, which culminated in the raid of the criminal hideout by a team of security operatives and military personnel of the 9 Brigade, Nigeria Army, Lagos. Adoki said the suspect had lured the black American mother of five through social media, purportedly for a visit, claiming to be a wealthy prince from Arogbatesu royal family of Ile-Ife, Osun State, with the intention of extorting money from her. She explained that while on the dating site, Adedoyin, 40, lied to the victim that he was an exporter of ginger and bitter cola, with a large plantation of cocoa and palm oil, claiming that he had a lot of slaves working for him. She added that Adedoyin, carrying on with his deceit, was discovered to have reserved Protea Hotel, Ikeja, as accommodation for the victim while in Nigeria, but deliberately moved her to another hotel, in order to prevent the monitoring of Jackson by the embassy, while he seized the victim’s international passport, credit card and United States identity card in order to prevent her possible escape. The suspected abductors received the victim at Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos on November 11 and promptly lodged her at Turn Up Hotel, Ipaja for three days before moving her to a prepared hideout in Abule Egba, where she was held hostage. She said investigation would be intensified after which the suspects would be prosecuted in line with relevant laws. Speaking to newsmen while being paraded, Adedoyin, who claimed to be a real estate agent, denied abducting the victim or raping her, saying that she asked him for sex, adding that her flying down to Nigeria was of her own volition with the intention of getting married to him. He admitted that on her arrival in Lagos, he lodged her at Turn Up Hotel, but had to move her to his friend’s house for her to stay pending when he could raise money for her return ticket to the United States. He also denied seizing the victim’s passport, saying that he only helped her keep it safe after he realised that she was carefree with her bag containing the documents anytime they went out. His accomplice, Idowu Ayeni, said he was uncomfortable when the suspect brought the victim to his house but had no concrete plans on when they intended to leave. Ayeni, who said he works as a litigation officer with a law firm, denied having anything to do with the suspect’s plans, saying his involvement was letting them stay for a few days in his apartment. https://zenithnaija.com/alleged-heir-to-the-throne-of-great-ife-arrested-for-kidnapping-american-woman/ lalasticlala dominique Mynd44

Romance / Dad Forces 11-year-old Son To Have Sex With Step Mom In Order To Stop Being Gay by Edithfavourite: 11:26am On Nov 26, 2018 |
An 11-year-old boy was forced to have sex with his stepmother in a bid to "cure him" of homosexuality. Daniel Dowling's father made him watch porn and participate in threesomes in his own home in Bracknell, Berkshire, England, when he was just 11 years old. The sexual torment went on for 3 years. Daniel has now waived his anonymity, allowing his father and stepmother to be named for the first time. Now 36, Daniel spoke to The Mirror and disclosed that he is "still haunted" by his stepmother’s perfume decades after the sexual abuse. During his father Richard Dowling and stepmother Annette Breakspear’s trials, Dowling, now 62, said he was "trying to steer him [Daniel] in the right direction and not to go to the way of being gay." It was revealed that Richard Dowling forced his son Daniel to give his stepmom "goodnight kisses" while she was chained to the bed naked. On one occasion, he punched Daniel after he refused to perform a sex act on his stepmother. Daniel said of his stepmom: She’d instruct me on what to do. Sometimes when Dad wasn’t there she’d ask me into her room for handling and intercourse.The abuse ended when the couple broke up in 1996. However, Daniel was later targeted by another paedophile aged 16. He opened up to police after images were found of him in the paedophile’s home. But his dad and stepmom were interviewed and no arrests were made. Years passed and Daniel became depressed and suicidal. In 2015, he took action himself after an attempt to take his own life. He managed to record his father admitting the abuse, which the dad later blamed on "undiagnosed depression". Richard Dowling was jailed for five years and Breakspear for eight for the abuse.

Crime / Nigerian Man Arrested In India For Posing As A German And Duping People by Edithfavourite: 1:56pm On Nov 25, 2018 |
A 25-year-old Nigerian identified as Okoye Ejike Kennedy was arrested in Uttam Nagar, Delhi for posing as a German and allegedly duped people on the pretext of selling second hand cars at very cheap rates. A K Singla, additional commissioner of police (crime) on Friday, said that one Sudhakar Manda, a resident of Mayur Vihar, wanted to buy an SUV. So he logged on to a portal selling used cars and checked out the listings. He was surprised to find an almost new Nissan Terrano at a throwaway price of Rs 4.5 lakh. The ownership details were impressive too — the car apparently belonged to a senior official of the German embassy who was selling it as he was being repatriated. Sudhakar contacted the “official” and paid 10% as advance to seal this lucrative deal. He was shocked when he was turned away from the embassy on the date of delivery. He then approached the police for help. Crime Branch arrested Okoye in this regard. He duped several people using the same modus operandi. His cellphone and laptop have been seized. Manda said in his complaint that Kennedy posed as Paul Heinz. He also assured him that if he wired 10% of the price to Kennedy’s secretary’s bank account, he would be allowed to see the car. “The accused also sent a fake letter through which the victim was supposed to get entry into the embassy. Once the money was transferred, Kennedy changed his SIM card and went underground,” DCP (crime) Bhisham Singh said. The police tracked Kennedy down to a rented house in Uttam Nagar. He revealed during interrogation that he came to India in November 2013 on a business visa and stayed on even after the visa expired. To make easy money, he started cheating people on the pretext of selling used cars, police said. He stole photos of cars from advertisements online and created his own ads for the same cars at cheaper prices. He would ask potential victims to wire money to a bank account he opened in Imphal. Police suspect the involvement of a woman friend of Kennedy in this. See more: https://zenithnaija.com/nigerian-man-arrested-in-india-for-posing-as-a-german-and-duping-people/ 1 Like
