CrimePastor Kenneth Onyeali Defiles Two Sisters During Deliverance In Imo by eric12345(op): 5:06am On Dec 24, 2019
A Pentecostal pastor in Imo State, Pastor Kenneth Onyeali, has been detained by the State Police Command for allegedly defiling a 10-year-old girl and her 16-year-old sick elder sister while supposedly conducting ‘deliverance’ for the sick girl.

The sick girl, Loveth Emeoha, 16, who hails from the nearby Umudagwa village, Apani community in Ikwerre local government area of Rivers State, The Nation gathered, was said to have developed a health complication on her legs that suddenly crippled her, forcing her to drop out of school.

It was further learned that when she was taken to the church by her mother, Pastor Kenneth, who is the general overseer of Christ New Covenant Church located in Umuagwo in Ohaji Egbema local government area of Imo State, was said to have told the mother of the victims, Mrs. Ijeoma Emeoha, to leave her sick daughter behind for some days to deliver her from her ill health.

It was equally learned that after some days, the pastor also demanded that Loveth’s 10 year-old younger sister be brought to the church to look after her.

According to the victims’ mother: “The pastor I entrusted my sick daughter into his care and he was repeatedly defiling my sick child for days and when he got tired of her, he demanded that the younger one be brought to him and he continued from where he stopped.

“When my daughter complained after some days of constant sexual intercourse, Pastor Kenneth told her that that was the only way she could be healed of her sickness”.

On how she discovered that her daughters were defiled, Mrs. Emeoha said: “When my 10 year-old daughter returned from the church, I decided to bath her myself.

“But, I saw her bleeding from her private part and the couldn’t allow me to touch her there. When I queried her, she told me it was Pastor Kenneth that used his fingers inside her vagina. She said the pastor told her that if she wanted her elder sister to get better, she must allow him to remove some evil spirit in her vagina”.

She said it was then that she rushed back to the church to take her sick elder daughter from the church only to discover that the pastor had been sexually assaulting the girl since she was brought to the church.

“When I confronted the pastor, he immediately refunded N30,000 I was charged for the prayers, begging that I forgive him. But I reported to my husband’s brothers who reported the matter to the police,” she said.

Mrs. Emeoha pleaded with the relevant authorities to help her find justice for her innocent daughters who were violated by a man she trusted to be a man of God..

A family source disclosed that Pastor Kenneth’s wife had allegedly offered the Emeoha family N200, 000 to keep sealed lips, an offer they rejected, but expressed fears that the pastor might use the money to subvert justice.

The State Police Spokesman, Orlando Ikeoku, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Monday, saying it was a case of defilement with the consent to the victims.

“Though, the girl was deceived by the pastor into believing that she could be healed of her ailment through sexual intercourse with him. After three days of sexual intercourse with the pastor, the girl wasn’t seeing any improvement. She complained and had to report to her people,” Ikeoku said.

He added that the pastor would soon be charged to court at the end of police investigations

PoliticsN50 Surcharge On POS Transaction Illegal – CBN by eric12345(op): 9:21pm On Dec 23, 2019
N50 surcharge on POS transaction illegal – CBN

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said the N50 being charged Nigerians who use Point of Sale (POS) machines for transactions, is a misinterpretation of its directive by rogue merchants.

CBN Director of Payment System Management, Musa Jimoh said today that no one should pay extra on goods and services.

https://www.naijanewsgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/N50-surcharge-on-POS-transaction-illegal-CBN-300x200.jpg

He was speaking on Channels Television’s Business Morning programme on Friday. Owners of Petrol stations have been the only merchants asking consumers who pay with cards to pay the extra N50.

Jimoh explained that the N50 stamp duty is a fee regulated by an act that directs merchants to pay all necessary taxes as regulated by government agencies.

“Stamp duty has been misinterpreted. Our circular that talks about merchants paying stamp duties according to the law does not say that the stamp duty should be paid by the consumer; that is a misrepresentation of CBN directive.

“What our directive says is that merchants should pay all necessary tax as regulated by government agencies including stamp duty.

“What we told the merchants is that we would like the banks to ensure that the merchants comply with this directive by ensuring that every single payment that customers make to them, the merchants pay the regulated stamp duty of N50.



“What has happened is that they have actually transferred this fee blatantly and openly to the consumers; this is very wrong. No single individual should pay N50 in addition to the cost of the goods.

“Stamp duty is not to be paid by individuals that are consuming the goods and services of the merchants, the merchants who are receiving the money are the ones who are supposed to pay.”

Mr. Jimoh explained that because the stamp duty is not regulated by the CBN, there are no plans to stop stamp duties.

“Stamp duty is not a CBN regulated fee, it is a fee regulated by an act, and so we can’t change or push anything in that direction.

“The stamp duty remains and cannot be changed by the CBN, what we are doing is to ensure that the institutions we regulate (the banks) become more responsible to ensure that these fees are collected and given to the government”, he said.

According to the House of Reps Speaker, it is better to be rubber stamp than fight the executive because that wasn’t what he was elected to do.

https://www.naijanewsgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/femi.png

Femi Gbajabiamila who reiterated that the 9th National Assembly is committed to protecting the interests of the people through diligent discharge of its legislative duties, added that there will be checks and balances.

He said;

“People, critics and members of other parties have said the 9th Assembly is a rubber stamp of the executive. You know my reply when they say that to you?



“Tell them that you would rather have a rubber stamp National Assembly that will bring progress than the one that is fighting the executive without progress. This is because when two elephants fight, the grass suffers. .

“This is not a rubber stamp National Assembly; this is a National Assembly that represents the people and is committed to their interests. .

“The people of Surulere did not elect me to fight the executive, but to engage and collaborate with stakeholders to bring the dividends of democracy.

“This is a new dispensation. There will be checks and balances. There will be separation of powers. We will agree with the executive if we have to and we will disagree if we have to.

“Our watchword is to protect the interests of the Nigerian people. That is the oath that my colleagues and I swore to.”

Nigerians have expressed outrage after a video of a woman lifting her maid up and throwing her to the ground was shared online.

PoliticsNigeria Placed On ‘special Watch List’ Of Countries That Tolerate Religious Pers by eric12345(op): 9:11pm On Dec 21, 2019
Nigeria placed on ‘Special Watch List (SWL)’ of countries that tolerate religious persecution

Nigeria has been added to a “Special Watch List (SWL)” of countries that have engaged in or tolerated “severe violations of religious freedom” by the United States government.

The West African Country was added to the SWL following the 2018 report of the United States Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) which recommended designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC).

https://www.naijanewsgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Nigeria-placed-on-%E2%80%98Special-Watch-List-SWL%E2%80%99-of-countries-that-tolerate-religious-persecution.jpg

Some of the cases cited in the USCIRF 2018 report include violation of rights of Shi’a members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) and violent clashes in Middle-Belt states.

The 2018 report partly reads;

“Religious freedom conditions in Nigeria trended negatively in 2018. The Nigerian government at the national and state levels continued to tolerate violence and discrimination on the basis of religion or belief, and suppressed the freedom to manifest religion or belief.

“Religious sectarian violence increased during the year, with Muslims and Christians attacked based on their religious and ethnic identity.

“The Nigerian military and government continued to violate the religious freedom and human rights of the Shi’a members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN). IMN leader Sheikh Ibrahim Al Zak Zaky remained in detention.



“However, in 12 Muslim-majority northern Nigerian states, federalism has allowed the adoption of Islamic Shari’ah law in the criminal codes. The Nigerian constitution also establishes the roles of customary law and Shari’ah courts for Islamic personal law, family”.

Making announcement of Nigeria being added to the SWL, U.S Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also disclosed that al-Nusra Front, al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula, al-Qa’ida, al-Shabab, Boko Haram, the Houthis, ISIS, ISIS-Khorasan, and the Taliban have been designated as Entities of Particular Concern.

He said;

“On December 18, 2019, the Department of State re-designated Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan as Countries of Particular Concern under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 for having engaged in or tolerated “systematic, ongoing, [and] egregious violations of religious freedom.

“The Department renewed the placement of Comoros, Russia, and Uzbekistan on a Special Watch List (SWL) for governments that have engaged in or tolerated “severe violations of religious freedom,” and added Cuba, Nicaragua, Nigeria, and Sudan to this list.”

Jose Mourinho has launched a remarkable rant, bemoaning Arsenal’s decision to appoint Mikel Arteta, a man with no experience as their manager.

Reacting to the announcement of Mikel Arteta, Jose Mourinho said: “The only point I can find – and it is for us to laugh a little bit – is that years ago the best managers were the guys with more victories and now the best is the guy with the fewest defeats.

“I have lost 150-180 – Carlo is a little bit older than me.

“I think now it is not about how much you won, it is about the matches we didn’t lose. So probably the best managers now are the managers with zero defeats.

“The only reason I can understand is that they look through the CVs and see guys with more defeats and guys with less defeats, so guys with less defeats are given the job.

According to reports, the latest attack struck a camp of fishermen near the village of Kaiga on Lake Chad, which has been plagued by the militants since 2009.

“The assailants arrived in the night and attacked the fishermen,” official Dimoya Souapebe said. Thirteen people are missing in addition to the 14 killed, he added.

In March, Boko Haram militants killed at least 23 Chadian soldiers in an overnight raid, one of the deadliest of such attacks inside Chad by the insurgents. Chadian soldiers are part of a U.S.-trained West African task force deployed to counter Boko_Haram.

The violence over the past decade has killed more than 30,000 people and forced about 2 million to leave their homes.

Boko Haram has been fighting for a decade to carve out an Islamist caliphate in northeast Nigeria and has carried out regular raids over loosely guarded borders into neighbouring Chad, Niger and Cameroon.

He was convicted in April 2018 of attempting to pervert the course of justice by inducing court registrars to ensure that his cases were assigned to his preferred judges so he could obtain favourable judgments.

Justice Raliat Adebiyi convicted the lawyer on 12 counts and sentenced him to one-month imprisonment. Nwobike was later stripped of his SAN rank by the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee following his conviction for corruption.

Displeased with the lower court’s verdict, he proceeded to appeal the matter. However, the Court of Appeal, in its judgment on Thursday (today), dismissed Nwobike’s appeal, holding that it lacked merit.

Kouyate gives reason why Messi won 2019 Ballon d’Or ahead of Mane

Senegal midfielder, Cheikhou Kouyate, has said his team-mate Sadio Mane was overlooked for the Ballon d’Or, because he is African.

Mane finished in fourth at the event on Monday, behind Lionel Messi, Virgil van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo.

https://www.naijanewsgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Kouyate-gives-reason-why-Messi-won-2019-Ballon-d%E2%80%99Or-ahead-of-Mane-300x171.jpg

The 27-year-old has enjoyed a fine 2019, scoring 54 goals for club and country last term, as he helped Liverpool to the Champions League.

Mane also led Senegal to second place at AFCON and Kouyate insists his teammate would have landed the award had he not been African.

“For me this Ballon D’or is for Sadio Mane, there is no doubt about that.

“Listen, if Sadio was a Brazilian or a European there would not have been no debate.

“It would have been him for the award straight away and it’s not because I play with him at international level, or because I know him, it’s just what people who watch football feel.

“Just go back and watch what he did for both club and country and you will see in between the lines that no one has been better than him.

“We all know that Messi is really good, maybe the greatest player, but last season come on.

“Maybe I have to speak to him to up his social media game and start wearing expensive stuff to stand a better chance.

“Maybe it’s not just football that they look at because there is no way three people had a better season than him.

“It’s just unbelievable how some people are judged but that is not fair,” Kouyate told Mirror Sport.

Calling Tacha out, Angela said Tacha’s action has made her understand why Jaaruma, her biggest supporter, unfollowed her. She went on to accuse Tacha of having a bad character.

The actress wrote:
This Right Here keeps me going

What Ever I do for people
I don’t expect A pay Back
And that is why God
Keeps blessing me
But as a human being
I think I deserve Gratitude.

Some people i helped like Tacha can’t even say
Thank you for giving her my platform
To push her Brand
As the matter of fact she ignores me ,
When I write her
It takes 2 days to reply me
Or she directs me to her manager
What an Ungrateful personality
Tacha it took you 2 weeks to call me after you
Left Big brother house,
That was After @hairess_gallery told u to call to at least say thank you,





Now I understand why Jaruma unfollowed you
Tacha I told you to post her picture publicly and
Say Thank you to her for all she did for you,
Cos is not easy to spend money on who doesn’t
Know u , Gratitude is important
I told you that “A good character will keep you in the industry for a long time”
But a bad character will make u loose everything
I was the First public face to post ur picture when you entered big brother house,

This alone can make me not to help anybody again,
But you know whathuh I will keep helping people
Cos this is part of my work on Earth.
Called you for a shoot
And I was shocked u said u will post it for free
Forgetting I post u on my page 2/47 without u paying a Dine

I pleaded with my lovely fans on daily basis to keep Voting for you until you win
I lost lots of fans cos of you
Some even wrote me messages threatening me
For supporting you , ”
I told them I saw something different they can’t see in you.



Even when everyone was against you
I supported you till the end and also gave them
Reasons to support you,

Gratitude is very Important
Gratitude is a Must
Does it mean if you were Angela Okorie
You won’t give me same opportunity I gave youhuh?
Desist from being Ungrateful to people who

Else it will Ruin You forever
NB: Gratitude is everything
Morning world.

CrimeFormer Yazidi Slave Confronts Her ISIS Rapist On Live TV (video) by eric12345(op): 10:09am On Dec 04, 2019
Former Yazidi slave confronts her ISIS rapist on live TV (Video)..

Ashraq Haji Hamid was just 14 when she was abducted by ISIS, separated from her family, and sold on for 100 dollars as a sex slave.

Five years later, she bravely confronts the man who bought her and violently raped her “several times a day” and demanded answers from the ISIS rapist who couldn’t look her in the face during the entire confrontation.

https://www.naijanewsgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Former-Yazidi-slave-confronts-her-ISIS-rapist-on-live-TV-Video-300x207.png

“Why did you do that to me?” she asked in a video filmed by Iraqi TV, demanding that he raise his head to face her. “You’ve destroyed my life. You took everything from me. Everything I dreamed of.”

“I was the age of your son, the age of your daughter,” she continued, before eventually fainting and collapsing to the ground in front of her handcuffed captor.

Thousands of Yazidi men were executed and Yazidi women and girls were sold as sex slaves when Isis militants attacked Sinjar and neighbouring towns in early August 2014.

The interview was recorded by the Iraqi National Intelligence Service and was broadcast on Al-Iraqiya news channel on 26 November 2019.

Lionel Messi money laundering case reopened, just a day after Ballon D’Or

Just a day after Lionel Messi won a record sixth Ballon d’Or in Paris, Spain’s National High Court reopened a case filed against him by Frederico Rettori, a former employee of his charity foundation.

Spanish ABC newspaper reports that on Tuesday that Frederico filed a lawsuit against Messi, his father & brother in June, accusing them of money laundering, fraud and other financial crimes, connected to the foundation.

Frederico claimed that the donations to the foundation had not been used for charity work but had been funneled to the accounts of Messi’s family members.

In late September, the court closed the case citing a lack of evidence and that some of the alleged crimes took place in Argentina, placing them outside of the court’s jurisdiction.

But ABC newspaper said National High Court’s Judge Maria Tardon has accepted Frederico’s appeal and reopened the case.

Kamala Harris is out of 2020 presidential race

The California Democrat, who had announced her bid for the White House in January, said she doesn’t have the money to continue.

Kamala Harris has suspended her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, a dramatic move for a candidate who began the race with promise.

https://www.naijanewsgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Kamala-Harris-is-out-of-2020-presidential-race-300x200.jpg

Two months before the Iowa caucuses, Harris’s departure was unexpected.
At the start of her campaign, Democrats viewed the California senator as one of the party’s strongest contenders against Donald Trump.

A barrier-breaking former prosecutor who could rebuild the coalition of voters that helped elect Barack Obama twice.

But she struggled to define a clear rationale for her candidacy and in recent weeks her campaign was beset by upheaval and layoffs.

Harris notified her staff on Tuesday afternoon shortly, according to a campaign aide, before her campaign emailed supporters.

In the email, Harris wrote: “I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life.”

“My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.”

“But I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight.”

The announcement is perhaps the most surprising development to date in a fluid Democratic presidential campaign where Ms. Harris began in the top tier.

They treated you as their own children. They commended you when you did well, and flogged you on bare buttocks if you misbehaved,” the President said.

He praised the current management of the school, which has been renamed Pilot Secondary School, Daura, for maintaining high standards.

Buhari implored the old boys association to carry on the good work they were doing which had raised the school to an enviable height.

Ex-VP Atiku Abubakar warns President Buhari against taking more loans

Ex-Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has warned President Muhammadu Buhari against taking more external loans.

The Ex Vice President said this, on Saturday, while speaking at a ceremony hosted by the American University of Nigeria in Yola, Adamawa.

https://www.naijanewsgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Buhari-Atiku-1-300x167.jpg

Atiku said Nigeria, under the administration of Buhari, has taken more loans in the last three years than it did in the 30 years preceding 2016. He described the monumental increase in borrowings vis-à-vis an unprecedented reduction in investments in education as worrisome.

Buhari had on Thursday, sought the re-consideration and approval of the National Assembly on the 2016-2018 External Borrowing Plan of the Federal Government.

“Two weeks ago, a friend of mine, Prof. Anya O. Anya, revealed that Nigeria has taken more loans in the last three years than she has taken in the 30 years preceding 2016.

“I am a businessman. Perhaps the first lesson one learns in business is that you do not take loans except it is to expand your business. There is no justification for taking out loans to pay salaries; meanwhile, you are not investing in your future generation.

“Nigeria’s greatness is not as tied to her elders as it is tied to her youth. That is where our investments should be focussed on,” Atiku added.

APC finally speaks on Buhari’s third term request

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to legal action taken by a self-proclaimed member of the party, Charles Enya, requesting an amendment of the constitution to allow President Muhammadu Buhari run for a third term in office.

Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC National Publicity Secretary, in a statement Thursday night, said at the last National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the Party, President Buhari didn’t mince words about his intention.

The spokesman recalled that Buhari pointedly said he would abide by and uphold the oath of office he took, swearing by the holy book he believes in.

He added: “The NEC meeting highlights released to the media by the party equally quoted the President admonishing APC members, leaders and elected officials to reposition themselves in their respective constituencies so as to sustain the administration’s landmark legacies beyond 2023 when the President’s constitutionally permitted terms end.

“The president said history would not be fair to members if the APC collapses after his second term. What better proof is required of the President’s resolve to abide by the constitution on term limit?



“The Party is, however, by this statement sending a strong signal to such other busybodies like Charles Enya who may be contemplating testing the resolve of our government on our mission to work for the best for our country to be ready to face the law.

“We would follow this new enemy of our country, who is most likely being sponsored by the desperate and misguided opposition, every step of the way, using all legal means to thwart his devilish efforts to create chaos in our country.

“As a party, we would not take kindly to anyone or group causing unnecessary distraction for this administration through anti-democratic actions. As a country, we are several years behind where we ought to be.

“The President Buhari-led administration is focused on the onerous responsibility of delivering good governance. We are focused on revamping our moribund infrastructure, growing the economy, fighting corruption, creating the right environment for our teeming youths to deploy their creative energies, and providing adequate security for all of our people.

“We have tried to find out the status of this character claiming to be a member of our party. If he turns out to be our member, we would ensure the party organ that has the responsibility to act on this matter promptly commence the process of expelling him. We are a progressive party and we do not have space for anti-democratic forces and charlatans.”

Anthony Joshua says “Andy Ruiz is good but I don’t think he should beat me twice”.

Anthony Joshua once again speaks on his first career defeat at the hands of Andy Ruiz Jr. saying it was due to a lack of experience and he had become a “smarter” fighter ahead of December’s rematch.

Mexican-American Ruiz produced one of boxing’s biggest upsets when he dethroned the previously undefeated world heavyweight champion with a seventh-round stoppage at New York’s Madison Square Garden in June.

“It wasn’t burnout. The issues I faced in the last camp, it’s just down to lack of experience. Even though it was at a high level, we were still finding experience. Andy Ruiz is good but I don’t think he should beat me twice.

I used to hear guys say you have to take a loss and I would think ‘why’? Now I can understand it and know what it takes. I have more understanding now and my ears are open to new information so that’s making me smarter as a fighter,” Joshua told BBC in a new interview.

The WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight title rematch dubbed the ‘Clash on the Dunes’, will take place in Saudi Arabia on December 7 after former Olympic Champion Joshua triggered a rematch clause.

“The blessing is I have a second chance and here we are,” the 30-year-old said.

CrimeBank Robber Says It’s Illegal For Police To Catch Him Using Google Location Data by eric12345(op): 7:40am On Nov 21, 2019
Bank robber says it’s illegal for police to catch him using Google location data.

On May 20, a gunman walked into a bank in Midlothian, Virginia, forced a worker to open a safe and fled with $195,000.

Security footage showed the man holding a cellphone to his ear just before the robbery, a detail that led police to attempt a surveillance technique that is growing in popularity among American law enforcement agencies.

https://www.naijanewsgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Bank-robber-says-its-illegal-for-police-to-catch-him-using-Google-location-data.-300x150.jpg

When authorities had not identified the suspect a few weeks after the robbery, an officer got a warrant for Google’s location data from all the cellphones that had been in the area of the Call Federal Credit Union bank during the heist.

Starting from a list of 19 accounts, investigators narrowed their search to a 24-year-old Richmond man named Okello Chatrie, whom they eventually charged with armed robbery.

The demand for Google data, known as a geofence warrant, is a way for law enforcement authorities to take advantage of the company’s collection of massive amounts of information on its customers.



The orders allow police to track just about anyone using an Android device or a company app, such as Google maps or Gmail, to a particular place over a particular time period.

As more police use such warrants, the method is raising concerns among privacy advocates, who say the government is gathering information from people in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches.

That is what Chatrie’s lawyers are now arguing, in what may be the first case in which a defendant is fighting the use of a geofence warrant to charge him with a crime.

“It is the digital equivalent of searching every home in the neighborhood of a reported burglary, or searching the bags of every person walking along Broadway because of a theft in Times Square,” Chatrie’s lawyers said in an October court filing. “Without the name or number of a single suspect, and without ever demonstrating any likelihood that Google even has data connected to a crime, law enforcement invades the privacy of tens or hundreds or thousands of individuals, just because they were in the area.”

Prosecutors say that the search was legal because Chatrie had opted into Google’s location services, allowing his Android phone and the company’s apps to track his movements. And they say police avoided collecting personal information from people unconnected to the robbery.

“The geofence warrant allowed them to solve the crime and protect the public by examining a remarkably limited and focused set of records from Google,” prosecutors wrote in a response, filed Tuesday.

Chatrie pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
