A blind hoarder who had always wondered what became of her son 20 years ago has discovered that he was lying dead upstairs the whole time.
But because there was so much junk and bad smells in the house, she apparently had no idea.

Authorities in New York say they believe the woman thought he had simply left home without saying anything,aily Mirror reports.

Now the horrific truth has been revealed at the house on Avenue N near East 22nd Street.

The mother is now quite elderly and had been living with the skeletal remains of her son, possibly for as long as 20 years, the New York Post reports.

She is a legally blind hoarder who may not have even known he was there, NYPD sources told the paper.The chilling discovery was made on 15 September when a relative arrived at Rita Wolfensohn’s home in Midwood.Rita was in hospital and needed some things, and the relative was helping out.

Upstairs, in a bedroom stuffed full of items, the sister-in-law Josette Buchman found a “completely intact” skeleton, dressed in jeans, socks and a shirt, lying on its back on a thin mattress on the floor, police sources told The Post.

The law-enforcement source told the paper it was like something out of Hitchcock’s finest horror – the 1960 flick in which a son, Norman Bates,keeps his dead mother’s remains in a basement.

The source said: “It was like some reverse ‘Psycho’ scene.”

However, it seems investigators really believe Ms Wolfensohn may not have known she was living with the corpse of her son.Cobwebs and garbage filled the room where the body was found.The smell of decaying food had long replaced any odour of rotting flesh.

Police asked her about her son, and she talked as if he had simply moved out.

Authorities have not yet officially identified the body but believe the man was Wolfensohn’s son and that he died of natural causes.

According to public records, Wolfensohn had two sons, Michael and Louis.

Relatives said they had not seen Louis - who today would be 49 years old - in 20 years.

Michael died in 2003 at the age of 38, according to court documents, said the pape

A pastor with the Christ Apostolic Church, Onigbogbo, Atan Ota, Ogun State, Pastor Olusegun Omoniyi, is critically ill after he was allegedly abducted and tortured by some members of the Oodua People’s Congress.

It was learnt that 45-year-old Omoniyi had also gone into hiding after he was rescued by policemen from the Sango Area Command.He said he feared for his life as the OPC members had threatened to recapture and kill him.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the OPC members were acting on the instruction of some relatives of Omoniyi’s late wife, Omolade, who had vowed to deal with him over the sickness and subsequent death of the woman.Omoniyi and his wife married in 1999 and had a set of twins in 2000.

However, the twins were said to have died shortly after they were born.

It was learnt that since the death of the children, the couple had not been able to have any child, which resulted in pressures from Omolade’s family.

Early 2015, the wife was reported to have left the cleric despite entreaties from church leaders and relatives of the husband.

PUNCH Metro gathered that seven months after separating from the husband, the 42-year-old was attacked by a strange illness.

Omoniyi said,

“She had told me that her family members didn’t want her to continue living with me, but I begged her to stay.“However, sometime in 2015, I went for a church meeting when some of her family members came. They took away her property. Attempts at getting her family members to reconcile us were abortive as they said she had made her choice.
“However, in July 2015, I was told she was sick. On the instruction of the church leadership, I went with some other elders to give her N50,000. But her brother did not allow us to see her, saying I should go alone to see her. We refused.

“On February 6, 2016, while I was leading a church programme around 10am, four men entered the church. Two of them were OPC members and the others – Adebayo and Stephen – were my wife’s relatives. While I was on the altar, the two OPC members said they had come to take me away.
“I told them that I would not follow them since I did not know where they were taking me to. They beat me up and one of them showed me a gun and said if I didn’t cooperate, he would kill me.”


Omoniyi said he was thrown into a car belonging to his wife’s eldest brother, adding that he was blindfolded throughout the journey.

The cleric explained that he later found himself in Ijoko, the camp of the OPC, saying the men tortured him before taking him inside a clinic where his wife had been admitted.

“In one of the rooms, I saw my wife on the bed. Her legs were swollen and there was blood all over the place. I asked her why she left the house and what I did wrong
“While talking to her, my in-laws started beating me. I have never suffered such torture. I told my wife right there that God would judge our matter,” he added.

He said he sneaked into the clinic’s toilet where he made a call to a church leader informing him of his location, adding that the latter informed the police who stormed the area and rescued him.It was learnt that Omolade died the following day.

The church leadership was reported to have sent a delegation to condole with the family, and Omoniyi also accompanied the men.

It was learnt that the deceased’s family allegedly attacked the group, insisting that Omoniyi must take his wife’s corpse with him.

“To appease them, I told them to find where they would bury her and I would bear part of the cost, but they refused.
“As I was leaving, they blocked the road and said they would burn the two vehicles we took there. The OPC members, who had earlier abducted me, came and dragged me to where the corpse was.
“After beating me again, they put me on the corpse and said I must die with her. They put me in a car with the corpse. I couldn’t recognise anybody until I saw some policemen who rescued me the second time,” he said.


Omoniyi said he was taken to a private hospital, adding that the location was not disclosed to protect his life.He alleged that a top police officer was also backing his in-laws, saying he had gone into hiding for security reasons.

He lamented that his wife’s family had taken away his landed property, adding that his life was in danger.

It was learnt that the matter had already got to the CAC supreme council and the church had not been able to resolve the case as Omolade’s eldest brother was a top pastor in the church.

PUNCH Metro saw petitions addressed to the Inspector-General of Police, Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Area Commander, Sango-Ota, Officer-in-charge, Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Abeokuta, among others.

The petitions called for the arrest of Omoniyi’s in-laws and the OPC members for the alleged abduction and torture.

A top leader with the CAC, who did not want to be identified, said the case had become critical, appealing to Nigerians to rescue Omoniyi.

When contacted, one of the in-laws, Paul, said the case was a family matter, adding that he could not comment on it.

The first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump may be one of the most hyped events in US politics, but the hosts managed overlook one small detail.

The name of the Democratic nominee, the first woman in American history to win a major party nomination for president, was misspelled on souvenir tickets handed out to students at Hofstra University.

The tickets given to 350 students who won coveted seats in a lottery to attend the debate misspelled Clinton’s first name — “Hilary” — TV networks NBC and CBS reported.

“These tickets are not official tickets to the debate,” Hofstra University spokeswoman Karla Schuster told AFP in a statement.

“They were printed at the last minute to create a souvenir for the students who won the ticket lottery,” she added. “We will reprint them.”

The official tickets to the debate did not include the names of either Clinton or her Republican rival Trump.

Hofstra previously hosted presidential debates in 2008 and 2012. Founded in 1935, it is a private university of 10,870 students 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of New York in Hempstead, Long Island.

A middle-aged woman identified as Agnes on Sunday in Abakaliki lost the pot of rice she was cooking to thieves.
A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent who visited Agnes’s residence behind Nnodo Secondary School, Amike-Aba on Monday reports that she was still in shock over the incident.

It took repeated appeals by the correspondent to make Agnes talk, as she maintained that her husband had barred her from speaking further on the issue to avoid negative attention to the family.She said

“I came back from a village-meeting late on Sunday and put the rice on fire so that my family could have their dinner and eat the remnant on Monday morning.
“This apartment, as you can see, has no kitchen so we cook in the space in front of the house, likewise other occupants of the building,” she said.

Agnes said that as she went inside her room to fetch some condiments, she was delayed by the attention she had to give to her crying child.

“I gave attention to my child who was crying and by the time I came out to continue cooking, the pot of rice had vanished, with the stove still enkindled.“After I recovered from the shock, I started screaming which attracted my husband, family members and neighbours who were all as stupefied.
“When it was established that no occupant of the building took the pot, it dawned on us that the act was perpetrated by a thief who exploited the vulnerability of the improvised kitchen,” she said.

The woman declined further comments but her neigbour, Justin Mbam-Egbe, noted that the situation had re-awakened security consciousness among the occupants of the house.
A private security consultant in Abakaliki, Dr John Odikwa, blamed such incident on the current economic recession in the country.

“The country has degenerated to a level that people now steal pots of rice and soup and with the yuletide approaching, the society should be ready for serious security challenges.“The Federal Government should take immediate measures to alleviate the sufferings of the people to prevent total breakdown of law and order,” he said.

Before anything is said they start talking about terrorism,why not go nd get knowledge instead of feeding off the rubbish u get from the media. Bcoz in the eye of a foreigner every Nigerian is a fraudster*ya'll will agree with me that it's preposterous to say that abi?* It's even more nd gullible to say that rubbish about Muslims and Islam. My advice if first go get sense then knowledge.PEOPLE FEAR QHAT THEY DONT UNDERSTAND AND HATE EHAT THEY CANT CONQUER ...it's simple human nature..go and ask from the. Founding fathers of ISIS,al Qaeda etc(ur people from Israel and America)o insist again pls go get knowledge and be informed.

I'm not gonna dispute your message but you should answer the question, why re-invent the wheel

Tell me, what feature do you wanna add to a social media site that facebook, instagram, twitter, etc don't have?

Firstly, you should read people's mind before building an app.

Most internet users find it difficult registering on sites esp if their privacy is not guaranteed. On facebook, you can control your privacy as you want.

Same thing for other sites.

For you to build something sophisticated that will awe users, it will take you years and it may not be only you on the team. And then, social media would have evolve and you will be battling to meet up with the trend.

There are tons of social media sites and they are all unique in their way but why not strive to be unique by building something more ground breaking?

You said I would have discouraged Mark, well, thefacebook's mission then was different from whatever social networking site that may have existed then.

Mark was only trying to connect students in his school but OP want to connect the world.

Why not leave that to Mark

You should also do some survey and market analysis should you insist.

dats exactly why i am here bro. to consult great minds like you guys here @ NL... the primary purpose of the app is to connect people, but the question is , how else do we do that, how else do we captivate the minds of the people , what other ways do we explore, you mentioned a cogent point abt registration nd privacy issue,, dats a good one, i need to hear more suggestions

hey guys. does any one have an idea of how much it cost to organise a talent show like dem project fame,naija sings,nigerian idols,maltina family dance etc from starting to completion......i would appreciate a breakdown of the cost if possible. cost in terms of finance, effort , time etc

well, am pretty sure if others had thot this way there would be no instagram, snapchat( mind you these are also social media platforms that somewhat rivals FB. the world has billions of active internet users, are you telling me all these handful of social media platform is all that there is? we are in a generation of endless possibilities , people are everywhere thinking of what to do to make a difference. tell me whats the big difference between fb,twitter,instagram, bbm, snappchat, etc they all connect people the same way using different methods, its that difference i need you guys to brainstorm on. am sure people like you would av told zukerberg if u had the chance that "why create thefaceboo.com when there was hi5"....what did zukerberg do ? he added spice , my friend he made a difference.....thats what i need up here in this post....it doesn't have to be the same wheel my friend we can take out the iron wheel and put in alloy or chrome "u feel me"we live in a world of recycling from fashion to energy to movies to music....nothing is really new dese day everyone recycles.....lets be creative guys thats the only way to survive this age were in

Adesege:
Firstly, why re-invent the wheel?

Why create something that already exist?

Facebook has all the features any social media site would have and as far as I'm concerned, it has no rival. Instagram, twitter, etc are unique in their own way.

Whatever social media site you want to build will either be a replica of what already exist or has one or two things the existing system has.

Hence, why re-invent the wheel?

You should think of building something else rather than waste your time, money and resources in building what may not eventually fly.

hey guys . what are the features you will love to see in a social network. am talking of something straight outta naija that will rival facebook, snapp chat, instagram etclets get creative what are the functions we will love to see. am really counting on u guys to help out with the naija creativity
