Her name is Georgina. She is 17 and a
bodybuilder who resides in Britain. She has
been weightlifting since the age of 14 and has
won a gold medal in body-building. People
she has taken it too far though. What do you
think

Temitope Oladejo,26, never envisaged that
the
once blossoming romance between her and
her lover, Ahmed Babalola, would go sour,
judging by the endearing manner at which
Babalola pampered her from the onset.
But today, she is looking a shadow of her old
self ,following several scars on her body
allegedly inflicted on her by Babalola.
Trouble according to her, started after she
discovered that her lover was smoking Indian
hemp. Out of concern ,she reportedly
accosted
him, only to be given the beaten of her life.
In this interview with Crime Guard, she
barely
managed to speak. She had blood- stained
eyes
and swollen face, no thanks to another
round of
beaten she received from her live-in-lover
Babalola.
Narrating what she described as her greatest
undoing , she said:"he came back home
recently
and I found a wrap of Indian hemp on him. I
knew he smokes but never knew he was into
Indian hemp. I pleaded with him to quit but
he
kept quiet.
Next day, I told him I was going to visit my
mum
that was ill. He also said he was going out but
that he was not having any money on him. I
told
him I had N300 which I opted to share with
him .
But when I went to take my bath, he
searched
my bag and found N2000. He asked where I
got
the money from and I told him it was not
mine.
At that point, he started ranting, looking for
an
avenue for another round of beating.
I reminded him that I was not owing him
because he usually goes out and comes in
without caring to drop money for our little
daughter's upkeep. Before I knew it, he gave
a
hot slap on my face and started beating me.
When I attempted to shout to alert
neighbours,
he picked a towel and gagged me. I managed
to
escape . But by then, he had inflicted injuries
all
over my face"
Asked why she had not bothered to report to
her
family or that of Babalola, she disclosed that
they were not legally married. Also asked why
she did not deem it fit to report the matter to
the
police, she winked, saying, " I have on several
occasions reported the incessant battering to
the
police. But each time, they would ask me to
go
home and resolve the issue with him.
He beats me at the slightest provocation,
particularly when I cautioned him against
smoking Indian hemp. My worry was not only
his smoking attitude but the fact that each
time,
he comes asking me to give him money and
when I refused, he would beat me up.
As if that was not enough, he threatened to
beat
up my mother when I ran to her place for
treatment. He told her to leave us alone that
she
had no right over his relationship with me".
NGO to her rescue
Determined to put a stop to the beating, she
said
she was refereed to the Rights and
Empowerment Advocacy Initiative,from
where
the case was charged to court.
In a letter to the President/Executive Director
of
Citizens Rights and Empowerment Advocacy
Initiative,CREMA Comrade Rex Kennedy
Saltlove, titled "Assistance to Intervene on
Assault Case and Petition to Stop the
Intimidation of My Mum and I by Mr Ahmed
Babalola, Oladejo appealed for immediate
steps
to be taken before Babalola snuffed life out
of
her and her mum.
The case, has been charged to Magistrate's
Court
8,with the next hearing coming up on
September 7, 2013. But relatives according to
her, were trying to pacify her to settle the
case
out of court.
There is however, a new twist to the whole
saga
as Oladejo said she received a phone call few
days ago, where the caller who identified
himself as a policeman, requested to see her
and
her mum at Area 'M' Command, Idimu,that
there
was a petition of threat to life against them
by
Babalola.

None better

For attacking its citizens with chemical weapons
on August 21, president Barack Obama wants the
US to take military action against Syria and is now
seeking congressional authorization to intervene.
The Syrian government carried out chemical
weapons attack in Damascus in the early hours of
August 21, killing at least 1,400 people as they
slept in their homes. Although the government is
denying being behind the attack, president
Obama says the military action against Syria is
necessary to deter future chemical attacks...not
only in Syria but other governments thinking of
doing same.
"We cannot and will not turn a blind eye to
what happened in Damascus. What message
are we sending out if a dictator can gas
hundreds of children to death in plain sight
without paying a price" Obama said
Once the US congress reconvenes on September
9th, president Obama will have his answer. Do
you think the US should take any military action
against Syria? Meanwhile Britain has said they will
not take part in any military action against Syria
but UK Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted
that "he understands and supports president
Obama's position"

Do you think that he should do that?

A habitual thief who was left so ashamed by his
uncontrollable urge to steal, took the drastic step
of cutting off his own hands.
Huffington post reports Ali Afifi is believed to
have been motivated by Sharia law when he
amputated both hands in separate incidents.
The Egyptian lost his first hand by holding it under
the wheels of a train five years ago.
His shocked father had him institutionalised, but
the 28-year-old repeated the action with the other
hand upon his release.
Afifi, who posed for these pictures this week, is
said to have asked a Muslim scholar to sever his
hands because he could not stop stealing “after
losing the war against the devil.
Afifi said:
But the Sheikh refused my request, saying he is
not a ruler or in a decision-making position to
take such a decision… he advised me to repent
and seek God’s help... I then decided to cut my
hands off.”
Describing his addiction as a "disease", Afifi began
stealing lunches from friends as a child, before
moving onto items in shops, mobile phones and
gold jewellry.

A 20-year old Awwalu Ali has been
sentenced to 90 days imprisonment
for stealing a toilet door at the
Calvary Faith Baptist Church, Life
Camp, Abuja. The verdict has been read at
Abuja Magistrates' Court on August 28, 2013,
Wednesday.
Mr. Abdullahi Illela, the Magistrate, who
convicted Ali, said that it would serve as a
deterrent to others.
The Magistrate, however, gave the convict an
option to pay a fine of N2,500.
Simon Emmanuel, the Prosecutor, previously
told the court that one Adebiyi Laniyan of the
Calvary Baptist Church reported the crime at
the
Life Camp Police Station on August 24.
Emmanuel said that the convict broke into
the
church compound and removed the door to
the
toilet, but was arrested before he could
escape
with it.
Awwalu Ali of Dape village, pleaded guilty to
the
charge and urged the court to pardon him.
"I am a family man with a wife and two
children;
they will starve to death if I go to jail, please,
have mercy on me, my Lord," he said.

Wristwatch Causes Problem Amongst The
Super Eagles

Some Super Eagles players have accused one
of the coaches of the national team of
extorting money from players through his
wristwatch business.
The correspondent learnt that the coach would
buy the wristwatches at cheap prices in Europe,
only to sell them at ridiculous rates for the players.
According to the players, they became enemies of
the said coach if they refused to buy the
wristwatches from him.
"The coach buys the wristwatches between $500
and $1000 in Europe and forces us to buy them for
$10000. If you don't buy, you are regarded as an
enemy," one of the senior players of the national
team, who pleaded anonymity, told our
correspondent.
"The most painful thing is that these wristwatches
are sold at very cheap prices in Europe; they go for
between $500 and $1000 but he brings them here
to sell for us at such outrageous prices. I have to
buy or I would be seen as encouraging the other
players not to buy."
Another player, who plays in Eastern Europe, also
complained of the same problem. The player, who
also pleaded anonymity, said he almost lost his
place in one of the junior national teams because
of the wristwatches.
"Before I moved to my present club, I was on an
apprentice contract, which means I wasn't
collecting much money but the coach forced me to
buy the watch.
"The same thing happened to me, when I was
invited to the senior team. It is not good for the
team because a lot of players are grumbling,
though they can't come out and say it."
An official of the team confirmed the story saying,
"I have heard about the story before."
But the Eagles media officer, Ben Alaiya, denied
any knowledge of the illegal transactions.
He said, "I am not aware of any such story. The
Super Eagles is not a market place; if at all anything
like that is happening, I think it's a private
transaction between those involved. But I am not
aware of anything like that."

well dressed and dumped there. Incredibly sad.

Shocking photos have been released showing the
aftermath of the deadly chemical weapons
unleashed on Damascus suburb, Ain Tarma,
where 1,300 innocent Syrians were gassed in their
beds
The attack yesterday have left the streets
deserted and makeshift morgues piled high with
bodies of innocent women, men and children
while those who survived the attack are fighting
for their lives in makeshift hospitals. The attackers
used rockets to release fatal fumes over the
suburb in the early hours of yesterday morning as
people slept in their homes.
The Syrian president has denied being behind the
attack as protests against it erupted in other parts
of the world. What I don't understand is why the
rest of the world is folding its hands while
thousands of innocent people are being
slaughtered in Syria. See more photos after the
cut...

President Obama had warned Syria in 2012 that
using chemical weapons would be crossing a 'red
line'
"We have been very clear to the Assad regime,
but also to other players on the ground, that a
red line for us is [if] we start seeing a whole
bunch of chemical weapons moving around or
being utilized." - President Obama, August 20,
2012
So will this attack prompt action from the US?

Ladies, knowing the truth, they say set one
free.
Read this very carefully and learn…..
1. Guys love to marry independent and mature
ladies… So instead of sitting there and waiting to
be bluffed by a guy, focus on getting a career that
would take you out of the housewife category.
2. Never let the sweet talks of guys deceive you,
most times they just want to go between your legs
and run off thereafter.
3. Stop fantasising that guys will keep coming up to
approach you. The older you get by the day, the
less admirers you have.
4. Stop playing 'too' hard to get! Remember,
nothing lasts forever. If you still doubt, check out
the number of matured single ladies looking up to
GOD FOR A MIRACLE.
5. Never extort things from a guy you don't love,
guys always have ways of paying a girl back, either
through their FRIENDS or total 'PAID'
STRANGERS….BE CAREFUL.
6. Never be deceived, you cant keep a guy using
sex. You can never win a man over with your body.
7. If all you take to the relationship is the mind set
to EXTRACT MONEY from him, don't complain if all
he ask from you is
your body. He has seen you have nothing else to
offer…
8. Don't be fooled when guys tell you they have
never met a prettier girl, they will say that same
thing to an 80year old woman they want to get
intimate with.
9. A guy always taking you to the CINEMA, FAST
FOOD, MALL AND EVENTS, CLUBS is no sign that he
loves you, if he doesn't care to ask and PLAN THE
FUTURE WITH YOU, then you are just his 'SOCIAL
MATE'
10. If the only time he invites you over is when he
needs to cook, clean the house and do his laundry,
then just know you are his "executive house help".
11. If he avoids meeting your family and close
friends, then it is an obvious sign he is just playing
games with you.

Prof. Tam David-West, the former Minister of
Petroleum, said there were "more thieves in
the Nigerian government than saints". David-
West made the observation while speaking at
a town hall meeting organised by the
University of Ibadan chapter of the Academic
Staff Union of Universities.
He spoke thus: "Any government that fails to invest
in education is a vagabond government. The
problem with Nigeria is that we have more thieves
than saints in government.
"We drill over two million barrels of crude oil per
day. Why should we be poor? ASUU is saying, 'Put
money in education to improve education quality
for our children and those yet unborn'.
"The same government that does not have money
for education budgeted N1bn each to feed the
President and Vice-President for a year. Are they
eating rock in Aso Rock?
"It is not having university degree that makes you
a good leader. Late President Umaru Yar'Adua and
Goodluck Jonathan are the first set with university
degrees -- but that has not translated to significant
changes. Churchill was not the best in his class but
one of the best world leaders."
He said there was no justification for any
lawmaker to earn more than a university
professor.
"They spend less time and may not even have five
credits, yet a Senator in Nigeria earns more than
10 professors. A Senator in Nigeria can pay
President Obama's salary four times over. When
people get to the top they become insane," he
noted.
Other speakers at the event were the National
Treasurer of ASUU, Dr. Ademola Aremu; state
Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Dr. Bashir
Olanrewaju; ASUU Chairman, UI, Dr. Segun
Ajiboye; Dr. Biodun Badmus, Mashood Erubami,
Abiodun Aremu and Femi Aborishade.

Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has ordered the
closure of nearly 100 Christian churches in key
cities, citing criminal practices organized by
Pentecostal pastors that threaten the security of
the Central African nation.
Among the affected churches was Winners Chapel
founded by Nigerian pastor, David Oyedepo.
Reports say last Sunday, a 9-year-old Christian girl
had collapsed and died during a prayer session in
Winners’ Chapel.
The girl’s mother, Mih Theresa, told CNN
Wednesday that the pastor intended to cast out
the numerous demons that were in control of her
daughter’s life. In tears, she told CNN:
I want the government to stop these pastors who
use mysterious powers to pull Christians and kill
then for more powers. All my children have ran
away from the Catholic Church in search for
miracles, signs and wonders,”
Another Christian, Mveng Thomas, said his
marriage ended abruptly when a Pentecostal
pastor ordered his wife to dissolve their union. He
said the pastor described him as “an unrepentant
devil.”
Government officials also say that some pastors
convince their members that they do not need
professional medical treatment for their ailments.
“How can a pastor say the sick needs no medical
doctor? We need sanity in our Christian lives,”
Nyang Blaise, a youth leader for Biya’s ruling
party, CPDM, told CNN.
One woman said her mother was refusing cancer
treatments because of her pastor.
“My mother’s condition is worsening after doctors
confirmed she had cancer. She is dying silently,
and yet we cannot persuade her to see a doctor
for proper treatment, against her pastor’s wish,”
Deborah Tanyi said.
Mbu Anthony Lang, a government official in
Bamenda, also told CNN on Wednesday:
We will get rid of all the so-called Christian
Pentecostal pastors who misuse the name of
Jesus Christ to fake miracles and kill citizens in
their churches. They have outstretched their
liberty. Nearly 500 Pentecostal churches operate
in Cameroon, but fewer than 50 are legal.
So far, President Biya has shut down more than
50 churches, targeting nearly another 100 in eight
other regions.
In reaction to the shut down, the affected
pentecostal pastors say the move is evidence of
Biya’s insecurity about the churches’ criticism of
the government. So, they are transforming their
private homes into churches.
Boniface Tum, a bishop of the Christian Church of
God in Yaounde, said that Biya, who has been
president since 1982, is becoming insecure about
the freedom of speech within these churches.
“Authorizing only the Catholic, Presbyterian,
Baptist, Muslim, and a few other churches, is a
strict violation of the right to religion,” Tum
added.

Before meets After.
The stars, Uche Jombo and Desmond Elliot have
always being best friends. Such that, if you
remember he was the very first Nollywood
celebrity with her for her wedding to Mr
Rodriguez in Peurto Rico.

A 24-year-old student of Ladoke Akintola
University of Technology (LAUTECH),
Ogbomoso, reportedly told the police that he
planned to use the ransom placed on a two-
year-old girl he kidnapped for his personal
upkeep.
An engineering student in the university, Tosin
Adegbite, was paraded at the Oyo State command
of the Nigeria Police, Eleiyele, Ibadan on Thursday,
for allegedly kidnapping the girl from her mother
at Ile-Alaroje area of Ogbomoso on August 9.
He called the parents to ask for N700, 000 to
secure her release.
While parading the suspect, the state
Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Indabawa,
said he was arrested after a distress call was
received in respect of the incident.
The police boss informed that one jack knife, two
cellotape, one face cape, one cable wire, a pair of
the victim's sandals and one LAUTECH identity card
were among the items recovered from the suspect.
Also, the command displayed some improvised
explosive devices and allied materials it recovered
from suspects.
Mr. Indabawa told journalists that the items were
intercepted on August 11 at around 3:15 a.m. by a
police team along Podo-Ijebu-Ode.
"After a hot chase the occupants of a Nissan Sunny
car painted in Ogun State commercial colour
escaped into a nearby bush while the vehicle was
abandoned.
"On searching the vehicle, police discovered six
cartons of explosives powder, two cartons of solar
detonating cords, and 16 bundles of ten wires each
of delay detonator wires.
"The Nissan Sunny car with Ogun State commercial
colour has two registration numbers, Ogun-XC XFR
AKM and AL 831 LUY," he added.
The police boss said investigations revealed that
the explosives were stolen from a quarry around
Toll-Gate, Ibadan.

The Lagos State Police Command has
commenced investigations into the
mysterious death of a 39-year-old trader,
Sylvanus Okoye, who was discovered without
his penis in a pool of blood at his house.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the indigene of Abidi,
Umu Ochi, Anambra State, was found dead two
weeks after he was last seen by neighbours.
His corpse was said to have been discovered after
a foul odour engulfed the premises of the house,
located at Ezemegbu Drive, Okota.
It was learnt that on Thursday, neighbours forced
the door to his apartment open and the corpse
was discovered.
The victim's brother, Paul, also a trader, said
neighbours called to inform him that his brother
had not been seen for some days.
He said, "I was called by the landlord that they
have not seen my brother for some time. They said
a stranger dropped his phone and house key with
the security guard.
"When I got here, we opened the door to his flat.
We saw his bloated body, with a rope tied on his
neck. There was a mortar, pestle and a knife on the
bed. Obviously he was murdered.
"We are confused now; we have reported the
matter at Okota Police Station. They have collected
the knife and pestle. What I am craving now is
justice. Police should investigate this matter and
prosecute all involved.
"We were told that the security guard at their
house was not around on that fateful day, so a
certain man dropped the key to my brother's
house and his telephone with a female trader in
front of the house. The guard told us that he knew
the person who dropped the key."
PUNCH Metro learnt that the guard and the trader
had been arrested by the police.
The spokesperson for the state police command,
Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident to our
correspondent on the telephone.
She said, "On Thursday morning, the landlord of
the building, Amaechi Nwosu, reported at the
Okota Police Division that his tenant, who was a
bachelor, was found dead in his flat. Policemen
went to the scene and noticed that he was killed in
a mysterious manner as his penis had been cut off.
"Before the corpse was discovered, there had been
attempts by the neighbours to force the door
open. It was at that point that the security guard
opened up that the key was with him. He said
someone had given the key and the man's
telephone to a trader and the trader handed it
over to him.
"The security guard and the trader have been
arrested and are being questioned as they never
bothered to inform anybody that they were with
the key prior to now."
