GRUESOME: Abuja Lady Slaughtered By Fiance

•Yakubu arrested over death of Victoria and Victoria Akubo before her death.
The Criminal Investigation Department, CID of Nassarawa State Police Command, Lafia is questioning Johnson Yakubu, a taxi driver who plies his trade in Abuja on the murder of his fiancee.
The body of the deceased, 29-year-old Victoria Akubo, was discovered by the son to the couple’s landlord on Friday afternoon.
Explaining the circumstances in which the body was discovered, sources in the deceased residence at Catholic Church Road, One Man Village, a suburb of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, told P.M.NEWS that the taxi driver who had left home earlier in the day called the landlord’s son to help check on his fiancee since he has been trying unsuccessfully to get her on phone.
The landlord’s son who also spoke to P.M.NEWS said he subsequently went to knock the door of the couple’s flat, but he did not get any response.
The landlord’s son said he subsequently called Johnson back to inform him that there was nobody at their home.
But the taxi driver was said to have insisted that his wife is inside the house.
He asked the landlord’s son to check inside the house through the other door that leads into the couple’s flat at the back.
Following Johnson’s instructions, the landlord’s son told P.M.NEWS that he went to peep in through the window and saw the body of Victoria lying on the bed with her face covered with a pillow.
He said he entered the flat and discovered that the Victoria was dead with two marks indicating that she was stabbed in two places. The landlord’s son said he consequently reported to the police. P.M.NEWS confirmed that the incident was reported at the local police station before the case was transferred to Lafia on Monday this week. It was gathered that Johnson, in his statement, tried to deny responsibility for the murder.

But the claim is being faulted by Victoria’s family.
It was learnt that Johnson had initially told the police that he left home around 8 am that day, but changed his statement later when he gathered that Mama Reuben had called Victoria around 6:12 am, indicating that the deceased was still alive as at then.
The same Mama Reuben told the police that she later went to see Victoria at their home around 7:30 am, but left after she repeatedly knocked the door without getting any response.
P.M.NEWS investigations also revealed that though Victoria and Johnson did their traditional marriage introduction ceremony preparatory to their wedding about two months ago, the deceased’s family did not approve of the marriage.
Also, neighbours of the couple at their former residence told P.M.NEWS that Johnson, an Igala from Kogi State, like his wife, is in the habit of beating and maltreating his wife to be.
Victoria, it was learnt, was admitted in hospital for some weeks recently as a result of such beating.
A younger sister of the deceased who was living with the couple claimed to have left in protest of the domestic abuse of Victoria.
Solomon Akubo, an elder brother of the deceased, said the family wants justice to be done on the issue even as he alleged that the police are trying to sweep the matter under the carpet.

Mercy Johnson’s story resurrects in Two brides and a Baby

Come the 17th of November 2011, Two Brides And A Baby, a new movie starring Mercy Johnson as one of lead acts premieres.
In anticipation of the movie which has already garnered  12 nominations at the Best of Nollywood Awards (BON), the grapevine has been agog over the similarity in the story line and the incidents leading to the recent wedding of sultry actress Mercy Johnson.
Mercy Johnson
Those in the know have sworn that it is the true life story of Mercy Johnson who recently wedded Prince Odianosen Okojie amidst controversies.
The uncanny  resemblance between the female lead Keche played by Keira Hewatch and Mercy Johnson coupled with the sequence of the unfolding drama they claimed,  makes it too much of a coincidence.
Contacted, the movie producer, Blessing Effiom Egbe, she declined commenting on the issue, saying movie lovers would have to wait to see the movie to confirm their curiosity.
Two Brides And A Baby is a romantic comedy about Keche and Bankole whose plan to walk down the aisle was jeopardized by the emergence of another woman.
Chains of Events within 24-hours spiral the ‘perfect relationship’ out of control and the two must choose whether to  risk the moment or stake their future.

LA FEDERACIÓN GALLEGA DE FÚTBOL Y LOS SUELDOS DESORBITADOS

«algún administrativo cobra aproximadamente 60.000 euros cada año». En este sentido, el sueldo medio de los 14 trabajadores de la federación ronda los 50.000 euros.


La Voz de Galicia nos habla de administrativos con sueldos que rondan los 5.000 euros mensuales y una media de 50.000 euros anuales para los empleados de la F.G.F. , y esto mientras los clubes se desangran no parece un buen ejemplo para el fútbol gallego. Liñares promete rebajarlos o al menos intentarlo.. LEER MAS. 



11 Supercars of Africa’s Dictator, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo Seized By French Police

Today 11 Supercars that belonged to Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, president of Equatorial Guinea, have been seized in Paris by the French National Police. Among the cars seized by the French police were two Bugatti Veyrons, a Maserati MC12, a Porsche Carrera GT, a Ferrari Enzo and a Ferrari 599 GTO. The supercars were seized at Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo’s Parisian residence at 42 Avenue Foch, just a stones throw away from the Arc de Triomphe., www.Gtspirit.com has reported.

The reason why the 11 cars including two Bugattis, Ferraris and Bentleys with a total value of over 5 million dollars(N800 million) were seized by the French National Police are unclear but it could have something to do with wide spread investigations into the Equatorial Guinean president and in particular the use of state funds to buy private property in France.

Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo is currently the longest ruling leader in Africa and also Chairman of the African Union. In November 2010, the Supreme Court of France accepted the appointment of an investigating judge and the opening of a judicial inquiry into claims that the President has used state funds to purchase private property in France. Equatorial Guinea is rich in oil but despite its rising revenues from oil, poverty in the country is still widespread and credible allegations of high-level corruption, including by Obiang and his eldest son, are the subject of judiciary investigations around the world. His son is the owner of one of the most expensive houses in Malibu, California at 3620 Sweetwater Road.

LAS MUJERES DIERON EJEMPLO EN LA GRADA DEL FENERBAHÇE

Uno de los ejemplos más palpables para acabar con la violencia en el fútbol, lo demostró el club turco Fenerbahçe. Luego de ser excluido de la Liga de Campeones y sancionado por la Federación turca de futbol por haber amañado sus partidos, el club turco dio una sanción inusual a sus aficionados.

Decidieron impedir el ingreso de los aficionados varones y en cambio decidieron que el ingreso sea solamente para las mujeres y los niños. Más de 46 mil mujeres llenaron en aquella fecha el estadio turco como una muestra de que la violencia en el fútbol no debe repetirse.
Los dirigentes del club turco señalaron que hacía falta recordar a los aficionados, en su mayoría varones “la belleza y los valores del fútbol”. Mientras que las mujeres y niños disfrutaban del espectáculo deportivo, los varones debían ver el partido por televisión.
