A serial rapist who was convicted of raping 10 women in the United Kingdom and China has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 24 years.

Zhenhao Zou, 28, was sentenced Thursday at Inner London Crown Court. Judge Rosina Cottage told him he would serve 22 years and 227 days before he was eligible for parole, taking into account time spent on remand, according to the UK’s PA Media.

Zou was found guilty in March of 11 counts of rape, one count of false imprisonment, three counts of voyeurism and a number of other offenses, including the possession of extreme pornographic images and the possession of a controlled drug with intent to commit a sexual offense.

Many of his victims were “unconscious and rendered defenseless” after being drugged, according to prosecutors.
Police and prosecutors said Zou, who also used the name “Pakho” online, contacted students of Chinese heritage on WeChat and dating apps, inviting them to his apartments in London and China to drug and assault them. The police said he also took items from his victims, including jewelry and clothing.

The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service said Zou filmed some of the attacks using a mobile device and hidden cameras. The police said he “manipulated and drugged women in order to prey on them in the most cowardly way.”

Zou was a PhD student at University College London. He was arrested in January 2024 after one of his victims came forward to police

.Prosecutors in March said that the “courageous women who came forward to report Zhenhao Zou’s heinous crimes” had been “incredibly strong and brave” and that there was “no doubt” that their evidence had led to his convictions.

Tinubu has messed up Nigerias polical space with his gbague politics.

Imposing state of emergency in rivers.

While benue, Plateau, Taraba and Kaduna have turned to blood farms.

This is just the beginning of a cycle of death. People should learn from history.

Where's the United nations when you need them.

There's nothing harsh in this. It's called sarcasm. Tinubu did worst so he shouldn't expect less.

Kaido:
I feel sad for the people of Benue state but this is so harsh.

I like you confession here.

So because some people lied about GEJ

Your god tinubu has proved that he's a daft and only good at lying.

Hope that your god will learn to speak the truth.

helinues:
So because some people lied about GEJ, is that the reason why you guys are shamelessly lying about this?

The Olowo is under the governor now. Besides we have adopted democracy and we have lived like that for 64 years now..

So if Akete was alive will the Olowo try this shit.

Factcheck0001:
oga if u aren't from there u can't understand their culture and tradition.

Aketi was told clearly that it is sacrilege to built something like that close to the palace cos in Yoruba land d king doesn't see corpses n he doesn't visit burial sites.

Imagine a king having to pass through this route everytime

With your response I can bet u ain't yoruba

Tinubu messed Nigeria up with his style of fraudulent politics.

As he failed to visit Yelewata. The people built this to remind him of failure.

Very sad a memorial is a reminder. Now all will be forgotten. The souls of the departed will hunt Aiyedatiwa for being Foolish.

BTW who is Olowo of Owo to question the governor.

In June 2022, at least 40 worshippers were killed by suspected terrorists with scores injured during morning Mass at the church

The Ondo State Government has demolished the memorial park built by a former governor of the state, the late Rotimi Akeredolu, to honour and immortalise the worshippers of St Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Owo, killed in a terrorist attack on the church in 2022.
The cenotaph — which had the names of the victims of the attack and was located at the heart of the ancient town — was said to have been demolished on the order of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

The Chief Press Secretary to Aiyedatiwa, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, confirmed the demolition of the monument to newsmen
He said the decision was taken by the government after complaints from the palace about the site of the cenotaph
“It was a special request from the palace of the Olowo as it is said to be against the culture and tradition to site such near the palace.”
Meanwhile, the Olowo-in-Council has said that it warned the administration of a former governor of Ondo State, the late Rotimi Akeredolu, against contruction a memorial park to immortalise the worshippers of St Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Owo, killed in a terrorist attack on the church in 2022.

This was contained in a statement from the place.

It said celebrating the dead near the palace was not in conformity with the age-long culture and traditions of Owo
It said that all advice to then state government regarding the location of the park was dismissed by the former governor.

“In view of the public reactions generated by the demolition of the Memorial Park supposedly built in honour of June 5, 2022, murderous attack victims at St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, the Palace wishes to say unequivocally that the request for this action was at the instance of His Imperial Majesty, Olowo of Owo and the entire good people of the kingdom.

“It must be made clear that the decision to site the structure in that particular location was resisted by the Olowo-in-Council and frowned upon by the people of the community when it was being conceived by the government of the late Governor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN,” a statement from the palace read in part.

The palace said the former administration also disregarded the protest by the youth against the location of the memorial park.

It said, “All advice to the late governor that celebrating the dead in any guise around the palace is not in conformity with the age-long culture and traditions of Owo was defiantly dismissed, even at a time a protest was made by concerned Owo youths and stakeholders to that effect which the then governor disregarded.

“The above position of the palace is vindicated by the enthusiasm shown by the Owo people and the deluge of commendations across sundry media platforms in support of the demolition.”

While stating that it would provide additional information on the incident, it urged those against the demolition to direct their questions towards the palace.

It added, “The Olowo-in-Council will soon come out to avail the public with the comprehensive details of all that happened before and during the construction of the structure which led to the current development.

“And before then, we advise anyone with any issues whatsoever against the demolition to make the palace their target and not the listening Governor, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, who is not in any way responsible for the demolition.”

In June 2022, no fewer than 40 worshippers were brutally killed by armed men, suspected to be terrorists, with scores injured during an early morning Mass at the church.

In 2023, the late Akeredolu constructed the memorial park to honour the victims.

Life can funny in naija.

Argentines are bloody racist. Including their god Messi.

Very sick sicko. You sick already and want to add curses on yourself.


Is like the southwest are catching up.

Trump should remember Afghanistan, after America planted Mujaideen to fight the Soviet Union, which later metamorped into taliban, who later dealt America a death blow. He should thread lightly.

Reuters) - Iran said on Monday that the U.S. attack on its nuclear sites expanded the range of legitimate targets for its armed forces and called U.S. President Donald Trump a "gambler" for joining Israel's military campaign against the Islamic Republic.
Since Trump joined Israel's campaign by dropping massive bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, Iran has repeatedly threatened to retaliate.

But while it has continued to fire missiles at Israel, it has yet to take action against the United States itself, either by firing at U.S. bases or by targeting the 20% of global oil shipments that pass near its coast at the mouth of the Gulf.
"Mr Trump, the gambler, you may start this war, but we will be the ones to end it," Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya central military headquarters, said on Monday in English at the end of a recorded video statement.

Iran and Israel traded another wave of air and missile strikes on Monday as the world braced for Tehran's response.
Trump's administration has repeatedly said that its aim is solely to destroy Iran's nuclear programme, not to open a wider war.
But in a social media post on Sunday, Trump openly spoke of toppling the hardline clerical rulers who have been Washington's principal foes in the Middle East since Iran's 1979 revolution.

"It’s not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change MIGA!!!" he wrote.
Experts surveying commercial satellite imagery said it appeared that the U.S. attack had severely damaged the site of Iran's Fordow nuclear plant, built inside a mountain, and possibly destroyed it and the uranium-enriching centrifuges it housed, although there was no independent confirmation.

Trump called the strike a "Bullseye!!!".
"Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran," he wrote. "The biggest damage took place far below ground level."

OK. I want to know why.

Please go through this link. Entertain your mind.

You'll see things from a different perspective.

Take it from me isreal is playing a script.
Where was America in Apathied South Africa
Where was America in Apartheid Brasil
Where was America in Apartheid Guatemala

Don't be quick to quote read do research. America is a survivalist nation. For them any thing to survive is welcomed

Moniter0:
Israel has no choice but to stop Iran from getting weapons of mass destruction. Iran is not chanting "death to Israel" for the fun of it, they want the weapons to wipe out Israel, and that's not gonna happen. You say Israel should not stop them in order to avoid "death on both sides" according to you, but don't want to acknowledge what will happen to many Israelis if the Tērrorists in Iran are not stopped.

But Israel has outlived and thrived against kingdoms, governments, and empires that came against their existence through our history and will in on doubt outlive the Terrorìsts in Iran.

. I am a proud and honest Christian. I see you brought religion into this discus.

Let me tell you something christ said.
`You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free`

Now let me enlighten you. Iran used to be ruled by a monarch. Who aligned himself with the Soviet Union.
Back then America was operating segregation goverment. Which was White rule only.
The monarchs followed Soviet Union to fight Apathied governments in Africa, South America and even Europe.

America raised a proganda of corruption against the monarchs, funded opposition like ayatollahs and revolutionary groups.


These groups fought sided by side to remove the monarchs and later adopted presidential system that was later hijacked by the ayatollahs. Who ruled till today.

My point is that America is a survivalist nation they sell their ideas so they can live.

This is the same America the practised Apathied and supported Apartheid in Africa and South America.

Ruke1990:
You are a Muslim and it's normal for a Muslim to deflect from the truth. Watch interviews of Iranians who are ex Muslims and former IRGC members if you think ayatollah is seeking nuclear weapons for the fun of it. Iranians who knows him better will tell you it's a lie

After reading your input, I realised that you are still a student in the school of propaganda and have not yet graduated.

America has been using isreal vs Arab War bullshit to sell off their piles of munitions. this cycle of violence that they created serves their purpose only.

Most part of the world where America have broked peace, they leave trail of blood and violence.

Now who is reckless a Netanyahu that operates on hearsay. Launching provocative attacks that he calls preemptive.

Or Ayatollah who is responding from an unprovoked barrage of missiles.

Whichever way you see it one thing is certain American company's are profiting from this nonsense war and innocent lives are being wasted.

Something is wrong with governance of APC. Who will want to live in a IDP camp.
That shows failure in governance.which means bad leaders in office

It's time INEC should let the people's vote count. So we can put intelligent and honest people in office.

Sadly people chest beating in Nigeria don't really no what propaganda is causing.

Lives are being wasted on both sides. Do you think isreal will tell you lives they've lost.

Yet some of you are singing the war song not truly concerned about the truth.

Nigeria is now an eye sore globally.

People opportuned to travel abroad try to be good ambassadors

Nigeria’s Foreign Ministry Silent as UAE Blocks Visas, Demands Nigerians Show $60,000 Bank History for Entry

Thousands of Nigerians are reportedly being barred from securing transit or tourist visas to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to an unverified yet widely enforced requirement: maintaining a minimum monthly bank balance of $10,000 for six consecutive months, totalling $60,000. Yet, Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has remained unresponsive, offering no public clarification, guidance, or diplomatic intervention.

While UAE authorities have denied implementing such financial requirements, pointing instead to standard criteria such as a passport, a photo, travel insurance, and a return ticket, travel agents and visa processing intermediaries continue to demand them. Applicants are also being asked to pay a non-refundable processing fee of ₦640,000 (approx. $1,500), further compounding the burden.

These practices appear to be selectively applied. There is no indication that other West African nationals, including Ghanaians or Côte d’Ivoire, face the same restrictions, raising serious concerns that Nigerians are being deliberately singled out and financially profiled.

Many Nigerians have called it a “constructive travel ban,” effectively shutting out Nigerians under the guise of bureaucratic procedure. Despite growing public outrage, online outcry, and mounting pressure, Nigeria’s Foreign Ministry has not issued a statement, engaged UAE counterparts, or offered support to affected citizens.

This silence has drawn heavy criticism from citizens who view the Ministry’s inaction as a dereliction of duty. In a time when diplomatic representation is urgently needed, the absence of a strong response has left Nigerians vulnerable, frustrated, and excluded from legitimate international travel.

Without official intervention, many applicants are being turned away or driven into the hands of third-party agents and unofficial networks that charge even higher fees. The lack of transparency and protection has created a climate of uncertainty, making even routine travel inaccessible for average Nigerians.

As the situation continues, many argue that the Ministry must do more than remain a passive observer. It must act decisively to challenge these discriminatory barriers and advocate for equal treatment of Nigerian citizens abroad.

Karma. Why did the southwest not support south' south

chigator2:
I no support Tinubu oo
But why is there always bomb threats when northerners want to express that they are not happy with a southerner president.

We are in the season of sacrifice. APC needs blood.

But what goes around comes around.
Tinubu called GEJ unprintable names. the evil he brought is crawling up his ass.

The fraud of a president. Trying to deceive us. It won't work

El rufai is a prophet, the man has seen that there's noway for Tinubu to return.

Nigerian law recognises social nuisance.


Can you be eating in a fast food or chatting with a friend and some one starts recording you how will you feel.

samuelson06:
How was the content creator a fool? His car had no plate number. He's not even the only one driving such car. So, why not stay quiet and leave the content creator alone? Must you show off that you have a stun gun? Was the young man trying to break into his car? How exactly was the boy a threat to him? Let's try to be fair in our judgment, please.

Taking private pictures is a crime. The law permits taking pictures if theirs threat to life.

In which case the fool started..

You don't see someone sitted and eating and then you started recording the person. For what purpose.

obailala:
Out of curiousity, who's the fool in this case? A young man who stood on a public road taking random pictures of beautiful passing cars?

Not by power guy. Na grace. Some where killed by Bokoharam. They can not plan their death now.

Edoreborn:
its very easy if u know ur way...some no even fit carry gun except dem wan go for promex..and that one na simple question dem dey ask..

Wow. Not easy to stay 35yrs in NA. They need to thank God for life.

Nigeria Police and their ITK. You cannot arrest herdsmen but a man trying to scare off a fool. You have power to arrest.

Times have changed, only truth can heal the world. Short of that is chaos.
