Singer, R. Kelly has yet again been accused by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn of arranging to get a fake ID in order to marry singer Aaliyah when she was 15-year-old. The federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York alleged that on the day before his wedding to Aaliyah, Kelly and others in his circle bribed a public official in Illinois to create a fake ID for "Jane Doe #1." According to court documents obtained by NBC, the singer was indicted Thursday on a new count of bribery stemming from an effort in 1994 to get the fake document. NBC News disclosed that the unnamed person was R&B singer and actress Aaliyah, who Kelly, married in 1994 when he was 27. According to the official Illinois wedding certificate, it's been concluded that Aaliyah died in a plane crash in 2001 at 18-year-old. Kelly, who is accused of abusing women and girls for more than two decades, including kidnapping, forced labor and sending child pornography across state lines. Defense attorney Douglas C. Anton, who is handling R. Kelly's New York case, called the new bribery charge "an absolute absurdity, backed by more innuendo and baseless accusations. The federal government has now gone all the way back to 1994 to add another charge to Kelly’s indictment. TMZ reports: According to federal docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors say around Aug. 30, 1994 … Kelly and others paid money to a public official for “the creation of a fraudulent identification document for Jane Doe #1.” The significant part of the allegation is the date.To make matters worse, R. Kelly’s former tour manager Demetrius Smith participated in the “Surviving R Kelly” documentary and admitted to getting the fake ID for Jane For #1 who we all know was Aaliyah. The fake ID was used to marry the 15-year-old singer. It seems things from his dark past are catching up with him and now will play out in court.

A Benin based activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, shared the story of a Nigerian man who is now deteriorating in the police cell for allegedly raping his stepdaughter. According to the victim, her mum and stepdad told her that the act is to make her vagina ready enough for the job ahead of her. She added that she found out that the job ahead of her is that they have concluded plans on how to ship her off to Italy where she would engage in prostitution and child pornography. The 15-Year-old girl was deflowered by her 49-year-old stepfather with her mother's approval in Edo state. She was physically molested by them whenever she refuses to have sex with the man. They both agreed for the man to continually have sex with her in the bid to widen her vagina in preparation to send her abroad for prostitution (human trafficking) and child pornography. The 49-year-old Mr. Raphael who deflowered the victim, his step-daughter was apprehended and is currently detained and will be transferred to SCID Benin for further investigation and prosecution. Gwamnishu Emefiena and others are taking care of the victim's medical bills as she is currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.

At least eight children have been reportedly stabbed to death in a knife attack during the opening of classes at a primary school in China's central province of Hubei. The attack occured at Chaotangpo Primary School in the town of Baiyangping, in Hubei province, but the motive remains unclear. A 40-year-old suspect named Yu was arrested following the attack on Monday. A report published online on Monday by the Guangzhou-based news outlet Southern Weekly, citing employees at a local prison, said the suspect was released last year after serving an eight-year sentence for attempted murder. The report, has since been taken down, it also stated that the man had stabbed his girlfriend 40 times because of “emotional problems.” Two children were reported injured and taken to the hospital. This isn't the first attack on school children in China. There have been several attacks on school children in mainland China in recent years. Earlier this year, 20 school children were injured when a hammer-wielding man attacked a primary school in the Chinese capital, Beijing. In June last year, two children were stabbed to death by a man outside an elementary school in Shanghai. In April last year, nine children were killed and more than a dozen injured outside a middle school in northwestern Shaanxi province by an attacker who was allegedly a former student seeking revenge for having been bullied. In 2014, a man in southwestern Guangxi province stabbed to death four children while on their way to school.

Nigerian journalist, Agba Jalingo, was arrested a week ago due to his report on allegations of diversion of N500million by the Cross River state Governor, Ben Ayade, and has been charged with treason. The journalist, who is the publisher of CrossRiverWatch, a Cross River State-based newspaper, was arrested in Lagos and driven by road to Calabar, Cross River State and was detained over a petition by the government-owned microfinance bank, following the report in his newspaper. According to reports, Jalingo was said to have sued the police over his arrest and detention, which he said were illegal and a breach of his fundamental human rights. He is hoping on the court to order the police to pay him N150 million as damages for the manner he was allegedly maltreated. A judge is yet to hear Mr Jalingo’s fundamental human rights case but the police has instituted a four-count charge of treasonable felony, terrorism, cultism, and disturbance of public peace on him. The charges which were filed at the Federal High Court in Calabar, also indicated that Mr Jalingo was working with the #RevolutionNow movement of the detained publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, to destabilise the government and “undemocratically” force the government of Mr Ayade to end through violent means. The first count of the suit filed on August 30, stated that Mr Jalingo carried out acts of treasonable felony by using his newspaper to instigate the removal of the state governor. It reads: That you Agba on or about the 2nd of July 2019…did carry out acts of treason and treasonable felony by threatening through various publication on crossriverwatch.com and social media, using malicious publications, instigating the people of Nigeria to stage protest for the removal of the Governor of Cross River State of Nigeria from office without due process of law and thereby committed an offence punishable under the Section 41 of the Criminal Code of Act, Cap C38, Law of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.The second charge alleged that through the publication of the story titled: “How Ayade approved and diverted N500million for Cross River Micro Finance”, Jalingo intended to “cause alarm, hatred and disturb public peace in Calabar, for the purpose of bringing down the reputation of the Executive Governor of Cross River State, His Excellency, Senator Professor Ben Ayade.” The charge stated that the alleged offence was in breach of Section 59 of the Criminal Code Act, Cap C38, 2004. Mr Jalingo was also accused of working with Mr Sowore, Ekanem Ekpo, and others at large of terrorism. The charge did not state the specific act of terrorism the accused was involved in. Mr Jalingo and Mr Sowore, was accused of meeting with cult leaders in the state to “instigate them to commence acts of terrorism” on Mr Ayade with the aim to “undemocratically force his government to end through various acts of violence.” Monday Ubani, counsel to Mr Jalingo, in a statement on Saturday, described the charges as “contrived”. He said Mr Jalingo should have been charged not more than 48 hours after his arrest in line with the law of the country adding that the police intend to use the excuse that courts are on vacation to further detain his client. Mr Ubani, therefore asked that Mr Jalingo be released immediately and without conditions. He said: We demand the unconditional release of Agba Jalingo from the unlawful custody of the police as it is obvious that the Governor and Police are not ready to arraign him yet for his alleged crime of treason. However, if they have a case against him, the best thing and option available to them is to charge him to court on Monday and allow the judiciary to decide his guilt or innocence.Source: https://lifewithcuttons.com.ng/2019/09/04/nigerian-journalist-charged-with-treason-for-falsely-accusing-the-governor-of-cross-river-state/

The order was slammed on Preko on Monday, September 2nd by Judge David Tomlison, following a confiscation hearing. Preko has three months to repay the money or he will return to jail. He was jailed for four and a half years back in 2013 for his role in the James Ibori scheme. Preko, 60-year-old was believed to have abused his ‘gold-plated credentials’ to launder at least £3m plundered by Ibori, from Delta state treasury. Ibori, who governed Delta between 1999 and 2007 was estimated to have pocketed up to £160 million from government treasuries, depriving the state’s poor of the cash. Preko, who represented himself, told the court in a previous hearing that much of the cash had been spent on election campaigning back in his native Ghana. He said he had run as a candidate for the centre-right NPP party back in the mid-2000s. Preko explained that Ghana is predominantly a cash based society and that few receipts exist for his campaign spending.

David Dao , a passenger of United Airlines Flight3411, who was dragged off & screaming from his seat on April 9, 2017, has finally broken his silence by coming out to say that the incident caused him to shed a lot of tears. Dao’s case captured worldwide attention in 2017 when he was forcibly removed from an overbooked flight at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, resulting in a concussion, a broken nose and two missing teeth, according to ABC News. Dao said he decided to speak out publicly as a way to thank those who stood behind him. Dao, who has not spoken publicly about the incident since it happened, spoke about the incident on the two year anniversary of the ordeal on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” stating that when he first saw the video footage, he just cried. The doctor said he boarded the plane on April 9, 2017, preparing to head home to Kentucky, where he was planning to open a free clinic for U.S. veterans. The flight was overbooked and when he refused to give up his seat, he was dragged off the plane. Dao told ABC News that he never expected the encounter to get physical but, once it did, everything escalated fast. He said he has forgiven the airline as well as the security agents who dragged him down the aisle and back into the airport terminal. He said: I'm not angry with them. They have a job to do. They had to do it. If they don’t do it, they must lose their job. So, I’m not angry with them or anything like this.Tyler Bridges, Fellow passenger, told The Washington Post in 2017 that travelers were informed they would be given vouchers to rebook, but when no one agreed, the airline started selecting people and asking them to leave. He said: A young couple was told to leave first. They begrudgingly got up and left. Then an older man who refused.A police officer boarded. Then a second and a third. Bridges then began recording, as did another passenger. Dao told ABC News on Tuesday that he woke up in a hospital and for a while did not know his story had gone viral. Then, amid widespread outcry, slipping stock prices and a settlement with the airline, he said the media attention became too much for him to handle. “Get to the point, I have to hide. I stay for months, months in house.” Source: https://lifewithcuttons.com.ng/2019/04/10/doctor-dragged-off-united-airlines-flight-finally-speaks-about-the-incident-video/
