Monkey dies after being doused with acid
It suffered devastating injuries (Picture: RAWW)
A monkey died after being doused in acid all over its face and chest.
Rescuers tried to treat the poor animal, but when they finally caught it they found maggots already infesting its wounds and scabs covering its body.
‘The type of injuries the monkey had indicated that some sort of acid or chemical had been thrown on it as its chest was completely burnt,’ vet Deepa Katyal said.
‘Moreover, since the injury was old, maggots had eaten most of the flesh. It had burns on its face and hands as well, which were completely scabbed. The animal was completely dehydrated and in a lot of agony,’ Dr Katyal told local press. It finally died yesterday after spending four agonising days in the Indian forest in Thane near Mumbai.

As well as being outraged by the attack itself, animal lovers claim the monkey could have been saved if the Thane Forest Control Room had acted on advice that they would need specialist equipment earlier, DNA reported.
‘We saw fresh wounds on the monkey but since it was still extremely active and agile, it was difficult to rescue it and we immediately told the control room that we needed experts to rescue it,’ Pawan Sharma, president of Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare, said.

The monkey was eventually rescued when it was so badly hurt it could no longer move.
Pawan Sharma said the forest department should invest in equipment to be able to rescue monkeys.
‘The human-monkey conflict is only set to increase, but no one seems to be taking this seriously at the moment,’ he said.

A woman is in a coma after being attacked by a roommate she met on Craigslist, her family claims.
Danielle Jones was strangled and cut up on her 23rd birthday in Miami.
She was left with a brain injury, huge scars on her face and neck, and her mother doesn’t know if she will ever wake up.
Byron Mitchell, 35, has been charged with attempted murder, but claimed to police he was acting in self defence as the victim had a knife.
Danielle’s mum Aimee Nikolove told NBC: ‘I’m still in shock, I can’t comprehend that someone can do this to someone, mutilate them in such a way and try to kill them.

The “currywurst” largely outperformed car sales which fell from 6.12 million to 5.82 million in 2015 Zlata Rodionova















The Volkswagen Currywurst has celebrated its 40th birthday in 2013 Volkswagen
If the Volkswagen emissions scandal hurt the company’s car sales, it has not affected the popularity of VW branded “currywurst”.
Germany’s biggest car manufacturer sold 7.3 million of its spicy sausage, nearly one million more than in 2014. The “currywurst” largely outperformed car sales which fell from 6.12 million to 5.82 million in 2015, a drop of 4.8 per cent, according to DPA, the German news agency.

Volkswagen has had a turbulent year ever since environmental authorities in the US discovered the company has fitted its diesel cars with an emission cheating software.
A cross-party committee of 45 MEPs will spend 12 months examining how VW was able to rig emissions tests with so-called “defeat devices”. It will also look at whether the German car company was given political cover by the European Commission and national governments in the EU.


Up to 11 million VW diesel vehicles worldwide are thought to have been fitted with software to mask emissions.
Volkswagen has made also list of non-governmental organisations’ “most hated” brands in the UK for the first time in 2015. It is now the seventh least popular brand in the world, according to a survey of more than 7,5000 NGOs by Sigwatch, a consultancy.

Man killed student by burning car 'without realising she was in boot'
Accused: Christopher Jeffrey-Shaw (Picture: INS)
A 27-year-old man murdered a student by placing her in the boot of his car and setting fire to it, a court has heard.
Christopher Jeffrey-Shaw, of Lakeside, Beckenham, south-east London, is on trial at Guildford Crown Court charged with the murder of 21-year-old German national Janet Muller who had been studying at the University of Brighton.
Her body was found in the burnt-out Volkswagen Jetta which had been dumped in a road by Ifield Golf Club near Horsham, West Sussex, on March 13 last year.
Philip Bennetts QC, prosecuting, said that the defendant denied the murder, saying that he had been ordered by drug dealers to burn the car and he had not known Miss Muller was in the boot at the time.
Mr Bennetts said that the car had been hired by the defendant’s girlfriend while Jeffrey-Shaw and his son were present.

Mr Bennetts said: ‘Christopher Jeffrey-Shaw set fire to a car, in the boot of that car was Janet Muller. She had been beaten and put in the boot. She died in the fire.
‘The defendant, having done that, ordered a taxi from a nearby hotel using a false name and returned to London where he lived.’
Mr Bennetts continued: ‘Janet Muller was a 21-year-old student who a few months before this incident had been experiencing mental health problems.
‘She had been admitted to Mill View Hospital in Hove on March 3 but she went missing on two occasions on March 12 and the last occasion was 10.15pm that evening.’
He said that she was last seen approaching an unidentified car in Kingsway, Hove, East Sussex, at 1.15am on March 13.

Mr Bennetts added: ‘There is no evidence the defendant and Janet Muller knew or associated with each other prior to the date of her death.’
He told the jury of six men and six women that phone records and CCTV footage showed that the defendant’s phone and his car were in the Brighton area on the evening that Miss Muller disappeared.
He said that when Jeffrey-Shaw was arrested, he answered ‘no comment’ during his interview by detectives but a statement of his defence position stated that he denied Miss Muller’s murder.
Mr Bennetts said: ‘He said that he didn’t kill Janet Muller in that he didn’t know that she was in the boot of the vehicle but he said that drug dealers that he knew had borrowed the car from him and when they returned the car to him he was told to burn the car otherwise he would be shot.’
Mr Bennetts said he did tell officers: ‘I am not getting done for something I haven’t done. The whole thing is a nightmare I haven’t woken up from.’

Mental health nurse made woman sex slave under threat of black magic
Florence Obadiaru was part of a gang that subjected a woman to ‘ju-ju’ (Picture: Central News)
A mental health nurse made a woman her sex slave under threat of cursing her with black magic, a tribunal heard today.
Florence Obadiaru, 50, was part of a gang of traffickers that raped a 23-year-old and subjected her to a ‘ju-ju’ death ritual during which she was told if she did not pay £40,000 she would die.
Obadiaru and the other gang members then forced the woman to fly into Heathrow Airport in September 2011
The woman was told she would get a job in the UK so she could repay the debt, but instead she was kept at Obadiaru’s house and sexually assaulted.
The mental health nurse planned to transfer the woman to Italy to work as a sex slave, but the plot was thwarted by Italian officials, who noted her forged ID.

‘You have been convicted of conspiracy to commit a deplorable and horrific crime in which a young woman was trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation, and your conviction goes to the very core of the principles involved in nursing care,’ said Robert Barnwell at a Chairman of the Nursery and Midwifery Council hearing.
‘The public interest element in this case is high, and it is important to mark this case and send a clear message that a conviction of such a crime is unacceptable.’
Obadiaru was jailed for two years in July 2014 after being convicted of trafficking the woman into the UK for sexual exploitation and arranging for her transfer to Italy.
Obadiaru, of Brockley, southeast London, had worked as a carer for ten years and had just finished her degree in nursing at Bedford University in Luton.
Her fellow gang members, Olusoji Oluwafemi and Johnson Olayinka, were jailed for six-and-a-half years and four-and-a-half years respectively in July 2014.

41-year old King Akpanke pictured above, has been arrested by officers of the Cross Rivers state police command for murdering his step-mother’s lover. King who was paraded before newsmen at the state police command headquarters in Calabar today February 10th, said he had on several occasions warned the deceased from coming to his late father’s house to have sexual intercourse with his step-mother.


“On that fateful day when we fought, he came to my house around 9 o’clock, he abused me and nobody was there in the house. The house belongs to my late father and I am the third son of my father. I was the only person in the house so when he started abusing me we fought, he brought a stick to hit me but I went inside and brought a knife and stabbed him on the head. So it was later discovered that he is dead. I am very sorry because it was a mistake. The young man was having constant sexual intercourse with my late father’s wife. I warned him several times to stay off the house which belongs to my father but he refused he always comes there to have sex with her. He has been calling me all sorts of names like armed robber. He had always planned to kill me”‎he said

According to police, the weave in dispute was not up to $100. Four lives wasted over a weave, sad!

A mother of two, Mrs. Oyinyechi Chinaka, who was 7 months pregnant with her 3rd child, was reportedly stabbed several times by her neighbor when she caught him rummaging through her purse and trying to steal money from it in her home on Anjorin street, Mushin, Lagos. She was quickly rushed to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, but she lost the pregnancy.
The suspect was said to have stabbed Mrs. Chinaka with a kitchen knife severally times on her stomach, arm and neck and left to bleed to death.


The victim, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard on her hospital bed said:
“ I was at home that fateful day when my children came to me in the kitchen where I was cooking to say electricity had been restored, and that I should come to the living room to play a cartoon video, called Power Ranger, for them. I left what I was doing and   went to operate the television for them. But to my astonishment, I saw the neighbour in my room. He was going through my purse to steal money. I caught him red handed. He was shocked .I said, ‘ So, you are the one stealing all the money that has been missing in this compound’. I was shocked because I trusted him and we had never quarrelled before. I usually left my children with   him and he entered  my house the way he liked, but for him to be stealing was shocking to me. As I was still talking to him, he ran out of the room and before I knew what was happening,  he came back with a kitchen knife and told me that he will stab me with it. I thought he was joking but to my shock, he moved close and, as I attempted to escape, he held me and started stabbing me with the knife . He stabbed me until I lost consciousness. I did not know what happened next. I only found myself in  hospital and, after surgery, I was revived. My husband told me that I was stabbed and would have died but for God’s mercy. I could not feel my baby anymore. I was seven months pregnant but my baby was not kicking”.
Mr. Henry , Mrs Chinaka’s brother- in-law, explained the trouble the family went through to get medical help for her.
“When we heard that she was stabbed, the family rallied round and rushed her to LUTH. Doctors told us that she had to use the only   ICU machine but a lot of people were on queue to use it. We ran helter skelter to look for money to deposit for her treatment. We had to deposit N500,000 and we have spent more than a million naira   on her treatment but nobody knew who stabbed her and she was on life support machine for months  . Unknown to us, the assailant’s elder brother had reported him to the police at the Olosan Police Station and the police had charged him to court for attempted murder without carrying out thorough investigation nor did they visit the woman in the hospital” , Henry said.
“ We  have been prevailing on the police to include the case of murder in the charge against the assailant  because the woman lost her seven months old pregnancy due to the stabbing. The baby is in the mortuary but the DPO of the Olosan Police Station and the IPO are not ready to cooperate with us as they went on to charge the boy to court without hearing from the family of the victim. We are appealing to the police to revisit the case and amend the   charge to include murder. We want justice to be done.”
In his statement to the police, the suspect said he was pushed by an evil spirit to stab Mrs. Chinaka.
“I went to her house to steal money. She caught me but a spirit told me to stab her, so I went to the kitchen and took the knife and stabbed her with it. I stabbed her because I did not want her to reveal to other neighbours that I am a thief. I fled the house when I saw blood gushing out. It was my brother who exposed me. He saw a cut wound on my hand and he questioned me where I got it. I had to confess to him that I used knife to stab Mrs Chinaka. My elder brother took me to the Olosan police station and I was arrested”.

A human rights activist, Mr. Ishola Agbodemu, urged the police to get justice for the victim especially since her unborn baby was murdered.
“If she had not been stabbed and made to go through such a terrible experience, she would have given birth to a child by now.   The child’s murder should not be overlooked by the police”, Agbodemu said.

Hours after two massive explosions killed 51 people in the Ngomari area of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, the Boko Haram sect again went on rampage killing no fewer than 39 people in a rifle attack on Mainok, a village about 30 miles west of Maiduguri.
The attackers who were armed with rifles and grenade launchers arrived around midnight and after the shooting, the terrorists set the village ablaze.
An eyewitness disclosed that “they have AK 47, RPG launchers and so on. They just started shooting and burning every house in the village.They can kill anybody, including women and children. They kill anybody that can see them.”
Incidentally, with the state of emergency in Borno State, there is military presence around the state. The military claimed to have killed 13 terrorists in a raid last week while the Boko Haram sect seems undeterred and continues to unleash mayhem on the citizens.

Following public outcry and reports which greeted the alleged shooting of John Ndubuka, Personal Assistant to the Abia State governor’s son, Chinedu Orji on the order of Orji himself, which was first broken by National Mirror newspaper, the media house has been sued by Orji over what they described as defamation of character.

In a letter written to the media house by his lawyer, Chief Barrister C.C Nwabuko, the claimant detailed how Orji was inundated with calls from across the globe following the report on National Mirror website that he ordered his security aide to shoot John over a minor disagreement.

They dismissed the report of the paper who called Orji a rascal, an imposter, highly temperate and pugnacious, disrespectful and a murderer. They noted that their client is a practicing Engineer and Chief Executive of many companies as well as an undisputable reputable son of Amaokwe Ugba Ibeku of Ikwuano/Umuahia clan, who is loved by his people on account of his father’s giant stride in governing the state.

“It is most regrettable and painful for the National Mirror to throw caution to the winds by publishing and posting to the whole world a most malicious, outrageous false story which is outrightly disparaging, injurious and also calculated to lower our client with the representations to the whole world, which you know is criminally libelous and actionable in court even in the bereaved state of our client”, stated the letter.

They asked the Newspaper to retract the report within seven days as well as pay the sum of N600 million, or face the music in the court of law.

THE Catholic Bishop of Umuahia, Abia State, Rev Lucius Ugorji, has urged security agencies handling the investigation into the death of the late John Ndubuka, Personal Assistant to the son of Abia State governor, Engr. Chinedum Orji, to ensure that those behind the killing are brought to book. The Bishop said that the death of Ndubuka should be swept under the carpet, and that making public the findings of the things that led to the shooting and killing of the young man will make his soul to rest in peace. It will be recalled that the police, in statement, had said that three police men who were at the immediate vicinity of the shooting on the day of the incident have been arrested and are currently undergoing interrogation, with the aim of finding out what happened, promising that their findings will be made public. Speaking while delivering his homily at the funeral service for the late Ndubuka, Bishop Ugorji said that death of the late Ndubuka was painful because of the tragic way he was killed on the 15th of February this year. Bishop Ugorji lamented that people often attribute bad incidents to the act of God, adding that, “this kind of senseless killing of a young man like Ndubuka cannot be said to be an act of God, and it is condemnable.” Speaking further, the Bishop said: “Since the death of Ndubuka, there have been many sides to the story, with some saying that it was a stray bullet, while some are saying that it was accidental discharge. But whatever it is, the people are waiting for the police to conclude their investigations and make same public. “This is senseless killing can never be the destiny of the young man to be so killed in the full glare of the crowd. What we are saying is that the shooting and killing of Ndubuka, who was an ardent Catholic, should not be allowed to go the way of other such shootings.” The Catholic cleric noted that the irony of death is that it does not hear the cries of the loved ones, and that no one takes the turn of another in dying, adding that, “Death is a part every mortal must take, and a debt, which everyone must pay.” In his speech the state governor, Chief Theodore Orji said that the death of Ndubuka was as a result of an accidental discharge and was not killed by anybody from his family since they will never kill or destroy a house they had built. Orji described the late Ndubuka as a close relation of his, and wondered why anyone would say that either he or a member of his family would want to kill the young man. According to the governor, “It is one death that has pained me so much since I became an adult, as my family has been in disarray since that death, to the level that I have lost appetite and finds it difficult to eat.”

A prosecution witness on Thursday told a Lagos High Court at Igbosere, that the alleged murderers of face book lover, Cynthia Osokogu, had it all planned, a few days before she was killed.

The prosecution witness, Joseph Edo, told the court how Olisaeloka Ezike (second defendant), went to Agboju Market at the instance of Okumo Nwabufo (first defendant) and purchased a chain and a cellotape, which they used in ‘killing’ Cynthia.

Led in Evidence by the state Attorney-General, Ade Ipaye, Edo told the court: “it is the defendants’ stock-in-trade to invite women to hotels, drug and rape them.’’

He told the court which was presided over by Justice Olabisi Akinlade, that Okumo and Ezike had it in mind to kill Cynthia on her arrival in Lagos.

“From my investigation, I discovered that the first defendant sent the second defendant to Agboju Market to buy the instruments they used for the operation, a few days before Cynthia was killed.

“The second defendant (Ezike), after getting the items and while still at the market, used his phone to snap them and forwarded the picture to the first defendant (Nwabufo).

“He equally sent Nwabufo a text message from his phone asking if this was the chain and cellotape you asked me to buy.

“Nwabufo replied Ezike that it will be okay for the job, the messages are all in their phones,’’ Edo said.

The witness also told the court that he discovered that the third defendant, Orji Osita, who is a pharmacist, aided the primary suspects to commit the crime by supplying them the Rohypnol used in subduing the deceased, before they carried out the killing.

He said the fourth defendant, Nonso Ezike, dishonestly received Cynthia’s Blackberry cell phone from his elder brother, who is the second defendant.

“It was discovered that it was not the first phone he (Nonso) bought from the second defendant and he has knowledge of the first and second defendants stock-in-trade.

“They specialise in bringing ladies into hotel rooms, enticing them with one or two things and then rape them,’’ Edo said.

Earlier, Justice Akinlade admitted in evidence the confessional statements and video evidence made at the Festac Police Station on Aug. 20, 2012 by Nwabufo and Ezike, admitting the murder.

In a ruling delivered on the admissibility of the statements made by the first and second defendants, after they alleged that their statements were gotten under duress, Justice Akinlade held that their allegations before the court were concocted as there was no evidence to buttress their claims.

Akinlade added that from her examination of the confessional statements, the handwritings of the defendant did not show they were under torture to write them.

“The defendants were questioned in an open place and were also asked by the Area Commander if they made their statements voluntarily, which they attested in the affirmative.

“Moreover, from the video evidence, the defendants looked well and untortured.

“It was when the Area Commander realised their narration was the same that he requested for a cameraman to video them,” she said.

She added that the prosecution had proven its case in the trial-within-trial to determine the admissibility of the confessional statements made by the first and second defendants.

“I hereby admit the confessional statements and video evidence made by the defendants and tendered by the prosecution as exhibits’’ Akinlade held.

Akinlade adjourned the case till March 13, for continuation of trial. (NAN)

The police officer died on the spot
A mobile policeman in uniform was on Wednesday crushed to death by a trailer at the gate of the main branch of First Bank,
near Bichi road,  in Jos.
Witnesses say the police officer died on the spot as the vehicle smashed part of his head.
The trailer was coming from the Plateau State House is Assembly.
A witness, Ladi Emmanuel, told PREMIUM TIMES that the police officer was on a motorcycle going to his place of assignment.
Sources say that the victim attempted to overtake the trailer at a bend.
The victim was immediately rushed to the Plateau State specialist hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival.
The driver of the vehicle was arrested by the police and taken away from the scene for further interrogation.
The incident created vehicular traffic within the area, which houses several major business including the Jos branch of the Central Bank.
Meanwhile, colleagues of the victims who were on duty within the vicinity molested other road users.
The Plateau State government had in early 2012 banned the use of motorcycles within Jos metropolis.
However, some uniformed officials, including the police and security officers in charge of enforcing the ban, have continued to defy the directive, riding their motorcycles in the prohibited areas.

We just got this report from the Government House, Owerri. It Is Not Funny but true!

See pictures 

As early as 7.00a.m. on Monday, February 24, 2014, thousands of Imo women stormed the streets of Owerri to protest against the PDP and its leaders over the provocative statements they had made during their party’s rally last weekend, with the women saying that the PDP leaders had come to provoke Imo people.

The women who were chanting war songs with their brooms also went to the Dan Anyiam Stadium where the PDP rally was held and swept the stadium claiming that they had swept away the foot-prints of the PDP leaders and members who were there last weekend.

As they swept the stadium, they were heaping curses on the PDP accusing the party of mismanaging the resources of the state for 12 years, and with nothing to show for it.

From the stadium, the women marched along the major streets of Owerri including wetheral, Okigwe and Mbaise roads. But before leaving the stadium, the leader of the women, Chief Mrs. Josephine Udorji said the PDP leaders came to remind Imo people about the scars they left on their bodies when they governed the state for 12 years, expressing surprise that the president could attend such a rally to receive those who have no electoral value again.

Other women leaders, who addressed the crowd included Mrs. Getrude Oduka and Mrs. Tina Adike and they said that they allowed the PDP rally to hold because the president came, and said that they would not allow such again.

The women also marched to the Government House to register their solidarity to the Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha where, Chief Uche Nwosu, the Honourable Commissioner of Lands and Urban Development addressed them and told them that Imo people know who is who and would speak loudly and clearly in 2015. He thanked the women for their unflinching support.
