Man who paid assailants N500k to kill Ogun land owner on Christmas Day is arrested

A man, Idowu Shorunke, has been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command alongside two assailants he contracted to kill a 55-year-old land owner, Razaq Shotunde.

The assailants reportedly killed Shotunde on Christmas Day by smashing his head on the way to his  Solomo village in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this on Wednesday in a statement.

Oyeyemi said the assailants, Daniel Ikwe and  Micheal Tedungbe, were arrested following a distress call to policemen at Owode-Egba division.

He said the Police were told that the landowner was found dead along the road leading to Baseye village, with his head smashed with a heavy object.

He said, “Upon the distress call, the DPO Owode-Egba division, CSP Mathew Ediae, mobilized detectives to the scene from where they started a thorough investigation.

“Their efforts yielded positive results when one of the suspects was arrested with the help of people in the community.

“The suspect led the police to his accomplice who was also apprehended.

“The two suspects informed the police that it was Idowu Shorunke who contracted them to eliminate the deceased.

 “Their confession led the police to his house where he was promptly arrested.

“On interrogation, the duo of Daniel Ikwe and Micheal Tedungbe confessed that they killed the man on the order of Shorunke who promised them N500,000.”

The PPRO said  Shorunke admitted being the one who contracted the men to kill the land owner because of an issue over a portion of land.

He said the Commissioner of Police, Edward  Ajogun, had ordered further investigation and prosecution.

What scandal? 9ice and family jet to Dubai for holiday

What cheating scandal? Sunkanmi packed to where? Lol.

That 9ice cheated on his wife and was openly caught didn't make his wife move an inch like many thought she did. Some even claimed she had left him for good.

But you know what, mama never moved an inch. She loves her man.

So 9ice and his wife, Olasunkanmi Ajala Abolore and their daughter have left the shores of the country for Dubai to enjoy the holidays.

His wife shared the family photos showing she and her husband and daughter having a good time in Dubai. Sharing the photo, she captioned it;

‘Progress not perfection’ [we guess she said that just to shut people up, so she wont be condemned for accepting him back. Yes, people are that silly]

9ice took to the comment section replying.

”Human, not God”

Registered nurse Ana Wilkinson, who had been treating coronavirus-stricken patients in New York and most recently in Texas, wrote on Instagram that she’s been fighting the virus and urged the public to wear masks.

“I wanted to share that healthcare workers get SICK. We take care of the public, and yes, we get sick. We are human. But if we get sick, who is going to take care of your families?” Wilkinson wrote.

“As more and more healthcare get ill or even die, we feel frustrated, tired, and discouraged. All we ask is for you to wear your mask.”⠀⠀

New UK Covid-19 strain has been detected in California

The new Covid-19 strain that ravaged the United Kingdom has popped up in San Diego County, California officials including Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday.

Newsom announced the mutation’s arrival in his state during a live conversation with federal infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, one day after the strain was detected in Colorado in the first known case on American soil.

“This new strain that we’ve identified … has been identified here in the state of California, in southern California,” said Newsom, in video posted by local outlet KRON4.

Newsom did not immediately provide further details about the case, including the patient’s condition or exact location, but officials in San Diego County later confirmed that the case was detected there.

The patient, a man in his 30s who is not hospitalized, did not have a travel history prior to his diagnosis, suggesting that he caught the strain locally, said County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher.

Lamar Odom claims ex-fiancée, Sabrina has hacked his social media

Lamar Odom and Sabrina Parr's relationship has taken another rocky turn. The 41-year-old NBA star took to Instagram on Wednesday and claimed that his ex-fiancée has taken his social media platforms "hostage."

Last month, the two celebrated their 1-year engagement anniversary despite 33-year-old Parr sharing that she ended her engagement to Odom just one week prior. But the two now appear to no longer be on good terms.

"What’s up good people. I've been working hard to build my brand and a new team. 💪🏾🙏🏾," Odom shared on Instagram.

"Unfortunately my social media platforms are being held hostage by my ex and we are working hard to recover my passwords for IG and Twitter~ if any of y'all know someone who can get it reset for me hit my brand managers DM ASAP @savvygirlconsulting. ... If you got an iphone im on club house so drop in, Im starting a room about Mental Health, Toxic and Abusive Relationships and Self Love."

"Thank y'all for loving me and supporting me I love y'all back. ❤️," he continued. "Now watch me work 💪🏾."

In a follow-up post, Odom claimed Parr has hacked his social media every few months and also won't give him back his passport.

"No love lost BabyDoll but it’s over," he wrote. "All I ask is that you release my Passport and my Passwords. That's it. You've wronged me in so many ways and I was willing to walk away quietly but I see you want a show."

"I gave you a global platform," he continued. "Use it for your good or it will destroy you. All the best ❤️."

In a now deleted post on her Instagram Stories, Parr called the accusations "extremely disappointing."

"We are no longer together and haven't been for a while," she wrote, via Page Six. "I’ve [chosen] to move in silence about the situation & I suggest you do the same. We both know the truth and I can assure you no truth is being told on their end. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to continue moving on in peace & silence."

The outlet also reported that she posted then deleted screenshots of alleged emails with Odom’s team showing conversations about attempting to reset his access to his social media accounts.

Later, Odom shared a screenshot on his own Instagram Stories of what appears to be him attempting to get control of one of his social media accounts but the information getting sent to an email and phone number that he claimed was Parr's.

"Where is the lie?" he wrote. "That is my exes phone number and her business email."

Last month, both Odom and Parr shared a picture of him kissing her on the cheek on their Instagram Stories, appearing to get back together after ending their engagement.

Actress Ini Dima-Okojie revealed she was diagnosed with fibroid in 2017 [Video]

Nollywood actress, Ini Dima-Okojie, has revealed that she was diagnosed with fibroid in 2017. The diva shared her story with her fans on her Instagram account.

She allayed the fears of her friends and fans as she noted that she is currently recovering from surgery.

In a video that chronicled her battle with the ailment, she took to the caption section to state, “My journey with fibroid. Hey Guys, I know it’s been a minute! I want to share something quite personal with you but I think it’s important because this is something that apparently affects about 6-8 in every 10 black women but no one talks about it.”

In the post, she noted that she was scared when the doctors told her she had fibroid. “I found out I had fibroids in 2017, I remember freaking out so much. The first gynaecologist I saw said if it wasn’t really bordering me he would advise I leave it alone but that I had better go and quickly get married.

She continued, “Anyways, fast forward to March 2020, the bulge on my lower belly had gotten bigger and my new gynaecologist advised I take out the fibroids.”

Ini Dima-Okojie said that at the point she was meant to have the surgery, the COVID-19 pandemic had become a serious issue worldwide so her operation was delayed. “Then Covid happened and we had to put the surgery on hold. In the meantime, I tried other things like herbs, clean diet, exercise.

“Now fast forward to November, the bulge in my tummy had now increased significantly so I decided to go do another pelvic scan and was told I had to get an MRI because the fibroids were now bigger than what the ultrasound machine could adequately measure. Bottom line I had to have the surgery as soon as possible. I had the surgery, it was successful and I’m now healing slowly but surely. I just want to thank God Almighty for showing up and showing out for me!”

The North East star seized the opportunity to thank everyone that stood by her during her plight.

“I want to thank my family and friends especially my mum and my Aunty Biola who moved into the hospital and never left my side. I want to thank Dr Esue and all the doctors and nurses at Cedarcrest hospital for taking such good care of me. And finally, I want to thank you guys who have been sending me messages, wondering if I’m okay and praying for me anyway,” she said.

She also shared a word of encouragement with women who are still battling fibroid.

“To the women out there dealing with fibroids. I know what a lonely road it can be not to talk of the pain and discomfort and then there are the ignorant ‘congrats on your pregnancy’ comments to deal with. It’s okay they don’t know any better. I want you to know that my DMs are opened to you. If you want to ask questions, talk or even just rant. I’ll respond once I get stronger.

“I know 2020 has been a tough year. But we are tougher!!! We’re still here, we survived!!! That alone is a huge feat. Let’s remember to be kind to ourselves and others. I pray 2021 is better for us all! Lots of Love Ini,” she said.

Selena told her millions of young fans: "Scientific disinformation has and will cost lives. @ Facebook said they don’t allow lies about COVID and vaccines to be spread on their platforms.

"So how come all of this is still happening? Facebook is going to be responsible for thousands of deaths if they don’t take action now!"

In the segment she shared, Ahmed claimed social media companies have done "absolutely nothing" to stop the spread of false information concerning vaccines during the pandemic.

Selena's strong stance comes after she previously tackled the social media giant over a report by the same charity that Neo Nazis were able to conduct commerce through it.

She wrote: "'I’m speechless. @Facebook @ Instagram how are you tolerating this hate? There’s still accounts there even though you have been notified!!"

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has approved the conduct of crossover night service for churches in Abuja.

But, FCTA urged churches to heed strictly to the COVID-19 protocols.

Many state governments have asked churches not to hold any crossover service, due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Answering questions from reporters on Wednesday on the development, Head, Media and Public Enlightenment of FCT COVID-19 Task Force, Comrade Ikaro Attah said church leaders should obey government and security personnel directives to avert the spread.

He disclosed that a combined team of the Task Force will be going round to monitor compliance during the service.

Best friends form throuple after 'falling in love' with same woman on holiday

Two men who were best pals have formed a throuple after meeting a woman on holiday, and falling in love with her at the same time.

The threesome say they even want to have children together as they start building a life.

Dino De Souza and Saulo Gomes, 30, both from Brazil, first met Olga, 27, from Bélarus, at a bar during a holiday in Barcelona on August 19, last year.

The friends were both captivated by Olga, who was hanging out at the venue with a group of friends, and each wanted to ask her out.

Torn on how to resolve the situation without causing issues with their friendship, both men approached the young woman – and eventually, the trio began going on dates together.

Dino and Saulo both fell head over heels with Olga, but they had never planned to become a throuple.

Dino, 40 said: “Saulo and I arrived in Barcelona and went directly to a bar to see the Champions League game which was showing that night.

“We entered the bar and Olga was there with a group of friends.

“We approached her and we invited her to go and get a drink with us, and that was where our beautiful story began.

“For us, it is not a question of being in a relationship with three people.

“It's a question of chemistry, we happened to be connected. The chemistry was so strong that we are impressed to know what the other is thinking or feeling.

“I would like to be able to describe what we feel, but we do not have adjectives to describe this feeling.”

Having dated for nearly a year and a half, Dino, Saulo and Olga travel, go to restaurants and go on dates just like a typical couple would, but as a trio.

At first, the throuple received shocked reactions from friends and family about their relationship, as their loved ones struggled to understand it.

Despite the initial backlash, the trio did their best to explain their situation calmly and their friends and family are now supportive.

They still get confused looks and negative comments from people in public – but choose to ignore these and focus on their relationship instead.

Dino said: “In the beginning, we received many shocking messages from friends and family trying to understand what was happening.

“We have been calm, explaining to them what we feel for Olga and that we have not changed as people, but instead have grown from this relationship.

“We don't get a lot of comments but we get a lot of confused looks from people.

“When they have an opportunity to get to know us and talk, they completely change the way they were thinking about our relationship.

“They get surprised and change negative opinions that they had before.

“We are very mature and philosophical about life. We always try to stay positive and do not waste our energy with negative things.

“We also don't give a f**k what people think about us!”

Describing their roles in the unusual grouping, Dino said: “I’m the child of the relationship and I bring the positivity.

“Saulo is the serious and organised one, while Olga is the distracted and disorganised person, but brings unconditional and pure love to the relationship.”

The trio, who currently live in Toulouse, France, also plan to have children together in the future.
