The Lagos State Police Command has arrested seven persons working as
mortuary and cemetery attendants at the St. Raphael’s Devine Mercy
Specialist Hospital Mortuary in Ikorodu, Lagos state over a missing
corpse. Parading the suspects before newsmen on Friday November 23rd,
the state commissioner of police, Edgal Imohimi, said one Athony Lawani,
lodged a complain to the police that the body of his sister, 51 year
old Mary Ehinlaiye which was deposited at the morgue was nowhere to be
found. He had gone to the mortuary to collect his sister's body for
burial but the attendant's could not present the body to him. It was
later discovered that the mortuary attendants had erroneously handed
over the body to another family.“However, one Olusesi Owamade, aged 41
years, a mortuary attendant, with the approval of his supervisor,
Michael Olusegun, aged 65 years, erroneously released the corpse to
another family. When the relations of the deceased woman came for the
release of the corpse for burial, it was nowhere to be found. At this
juncture, it dawned on the mortuary attendants that they had released
the corpse to the wrong persons. To recover the corpse, five grave
diggers working at Sabo Cemetery, Ikorodu were contracted by the
mortuary attendants to exhume the corpse for onward handover to its
owners,” he said.Edgal said the suspects, Michael Olusegun and Olusesi
Owamade who are mortuary attendants and the five gravediggers identified
as Razaki Abesopiti, Okeowo Kazeem, Babatunde Giwa, Ade Aliu and
Musiliu Yakubu, conspired among themselves and dismembered the body of
the deceased by cutting off the two wrists and heart for a yet-to-be
determined reason.“Investigation into this case is in progress, while
efforts are on to arrest one of the grave diggers named Anifowoshe, who
is currently at large. The case will be charged to court and case file
forwarded to the Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP)
for legal advice,” he said.

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons
(NAPTIP) has warned Nigerians against illegal adoption of children. The
Director-General of NAPTIP, Ms Julie Okah-Donle, issued the caution in a
statement on Friday in Abuja while reacting to the recent conviction of
five men in Makurdi for adoption of a four-year-old boy.Okah-Donle
advised anyone intending to adopt a child to go through the legal
processes in order to avoid falling foul of the law or causing another
parent severe emotional and mental pain.The NAPTIP boss who condemned
the abduction of children expressed concern on the pains that parents
whose children were abducted could be going through.According to her,
under Sections 13 (2), 21, and 27 of the Trafficking in Persons
(Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration (TIPPEA) Act, 2015, it is a
crime to abduct, transport, receive or harbour a victim of human
trafficking.“The law also prohibits the purchase, sale, hiring or taking
possession of any person with intent, knowing it to be likely or having
reasons to know that such a person will be subjected to exploitation as
well as any conspiracy to commit any offence under the Act,” she
quoted the lawOn the convicted men in Makurdi, the statement listed the
accused persons as Adejo Ogiri, Afonne Nwokocha, Ndukwe Henry and Obuito
Onyema.According to the statement, they were sentenced by the Federal
High Court in Makurdi for abducting a four-year-old boy.They were
arrested by officers of the Department of State Services for the
abduction and attempted sale of the victim and handed over to the
NAPTIP.The statement noted that the first accused (Ogiri) abducted his
neighbour’s child from Otukpo and took him to Umuahia, Abia state, where
he handed him over to the second accused, Uzochukwu.It further noted
that Uzochukwu took the child to the third convict (Edward), who had a
client, Augustina, still at large, whom they intended to sell the child
to.“While waiting for the client to pick up the child, they kept him
with the fourth accused person, who is a relative of the client.“Edward
was arrested by the Directorate of State Security Service (DSS) as he
went to the bank to withdraw the money earlier sent by the client.“The
DSS thereafter, rescued the child, arrested and handed the suspects over
to NAPTIP for further investigation and prosecution.“In the course of
trial which lasted between September 2016 and May 2018, the presiding
Judge found the acts committed by the accused persons despicable.“Based
on the evidences tendered by the prosecution, found them guilty and
subsequently sentenced them accordingly.“Convicted under Sections 13
(2)(a), 21 and 27 of TIPPEA ACT, 2015, Ogiri was sentenced to two years
and five years’ imprisonment, respectively, on each count.“The fourth
and fifth accused persons were sentenced to five years imprisonment,
each, while the second and third accused persons, who jumped bail in the
course of the trial, will be sentenced when caught,” the statement
noted.Okah-Donle lauded the collaborative efforts of the DSS in the
arrests and course of the trial.She identified partnership as one of the
five-pronged approaches employed by NAPTIP in combating human
trafficking, adding that fight against human trafficking will be more
impactful when law enforcement agencies work together.'Na God go punish you' - Daddy Showkey responds to a troll who questioned his source of wealth

Sanwo-Olu will not abandon on-going projects in Lagos - Governor Ambode says
Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has assured that the Governorship
candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State for the 2019
general elections, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu will not abandon ongoing
projects but rather complete and build on the enduring legacies already
put in place by his administration. Governor Ambode, who said this while
inaugurating an ultra modern lecture theatre donated to the Lagos State
University (LASU) by businessman and philanthropist, Mr Remi
Makanjuola, said while efforts were on to complete all the major
projects initiated by his administration, Sanwo-Olu would nonetheless
complete those ones he is unable to deliver before the expiration of his
tenure next year.“I am so excited about the fact that Mr Sanwo-Olu has
actually come out here and he has issued a promissory note and what that
mean is that we are going to have a government of continuity.For
whatever structures that we have in LASU right now, and I’m going to
also convince our chief negotiator, Dr Wale Babalakin, we are already
doing Senate building here, we are doing Students Arcade and we are also
doing the Library, I hope I will be able to complete and finish them
but if I am unable to complete them, I speak on behalf of Mr Sanwo-Olu
that he will finish and also do the Staff School.We are not campaigning
yet but truly that is the spirit of the kind of governance that we bring
to Lagos; that is the spirit that we really want to see and then we
should be able to show leadership in all spheres of life that we find
ourselves,” Governor Ambode said.Speaking on his administration’s
intervention in the educational sector, he said in the last three and
half years, at least N15billion has been invested in revamping
infrastructure in schools across the State to ensure students can learn
in a conducive environment, while 3,400 primary and secondary teachers
were employed to improve the teacher to student ratio as well as quality
of learning in schools.Nigerian Army reacts to viral video showing how Boko Haram killed several soldiers in Borno State
The Nigerian Army has issued an official statement to address the viral
video making rounds on social media that shows
soldiers complaining bitterly about their obsolete weapons as Boko Haram
killed 100 of their colleagues. While the Army didn't specify the
number of soldiers that died in the attack, the statement said,
'publications have been brandishing false casualty figures as well as
circulating various footages of old and inaccurate BHT propaganda videos
and alluding same to be the attack on 157 Task Force Battalion'. See
the full statement below...1. The attention of the NA has been drawn to
several social media, print, electronic and online publications about
the recent attack on 157 Task Force Battalion at Metele. Whilst it is
true that there was an attack on the location on 18 November 2018, it
has however, become necessary to correct several misinformation being
circulated with regards to this unfortunate event.2. It is important for
the public to note that the NA has laid down procedures for reporting
incidents that involve its personnel who fall casualty in action. Out of
respect for the families of our gallant troops, the NOKs are first
notified before any form of public information so as to avoid
exacerbating the grief family members would bear, were they to discover
such from unofficial sources.3. Furthermore, it suffices to observe that
several social media, print and online publications have been
brandishing false casualty figures as well as circulating various
footages of old and inaccurate BHT propaganda videos and alluding same
to be the attack on 157 Task Force Battalion. Whilst it is
understandable how such misinformation can spread in this era of social
media frenzy, the spurious circulation of some of these videos only
contribute to further propagate the propaganda intent of the terrorists;
to misinform the populace and portray themselves as what they are not.
So far, the situation is that the location is under control as
reinforcing units have been able to repel the terrorists and stabilize
the situation.4. The NA sincerely, wishes to thank the various arms of
government, MDAs and sister security agencies that have stood with her
in these trying times; by commiserating with the families of the fallen
heroes who have paid the supreme price for the defence of our dearly
beloved country. The necessary support being given the NA by the Federal
Government and the goodwill of the Nigerian populace will undoubtedly
continue to spur the NA towards the ultimate defeat of the highly
degraded BHTs.5. This is for your information please.Dele Momodu, Ben Bruce, others react to viral video of Boko Haram killing Nigerian soldiers

NBA star Steph Curry walks away from back-to-back car accidents in approximately 15 minutes (Photos)
American NBA star, Steph Curry, who plays for Golden State Warriors
walked away unscathed from back-to-back car accidents on Friday after
his Porsche was hit by two cars in approximately 15 minutes. According
to Mail Online, Curry was driving his black Panamera Turbo S Porsche,
worth $185,000, when a silver Lexus lost control and veered into him on
Highway 24 in Oakland, California. It collided with Curry's vehicle,
smashing its front right mirror, and caused him to pull over onto the
central median to wait for help.
While
waiting for help another car bashed him again ten minutes later.The
publication also reported that none of the three drivers were hurt and
no arrests have been made. 
A
spokesman for California Highway Patrol told DailyMail.com they were
not yet sure what caused the back-to-back accidents but that speed and
weather may have played a part. 'Luckily everyone was wearing their seat
belt and there were no injuries. We'd like to remind everyone to wear
their seat belts and slow down,' the spokesman said.
Three brothers arrested for kidnapping their church member's daughter in Ondo State
Three brothers Joy Ramond, 19, Peace Ramond, 24, and Ayomide Ramond, 16,
as well as their suspected accomplice, Akinseye Oluwayomi, 18, have
been arrested for kidnaping the 6-year-old daughter of their Church
member. The members of Jehovah Witness Church, Oba-Ile in Akure, Ondo
State, were arrested after one Afolabi Oladapo reported the matter on
Nov. 21. Oladapo reported that his daughter, Jamama, was kidnapped
during Church service by unknown people. She was however, released on
November 22, after the payment of N720,000. Shortly after the payment of
the ransome, a team of policemen stormed the venue where the ransom was
paid and rounded up the four suspects while exhuming the money that had
been buried in an uncompleted building. Speaking to newsmen, Joy, one
of the siblings, confirmed that the victim was a daughter of their
Church’s member, but claimed that they took her home “to warn and scare
her, and not to kidnap her”.“I have always seen the girl running out of
the Kingdom Hall whenever we are having our meeting; that day, I was
coming from my working place and saw her outside the hall around 7 p.m.I
asked her where she was going to, and warned her to be careful so as
not to be kidnapped. I later decided to take her home from where I
called the parents to inform them that the girl was with me.That
particular night I could not reach the parents on phone, but I got them
the next morning and the mother came to pick the girl. I decided to
scare her because I learned that she is the only girl in the family and
was being pampered by the parents.I kept her to scare her so as to
discourage her from straying around. It may be another person that
called them and fabricated the kidnap story so as to dupe them,” she
claimed. ''That night I felt I had gone with you''Tosyn Bucknor's hubby, Aurelien Boyer, breaks his silence since her sudden demise
