Family lawyer denies Diezani’s death
Ade Adesomoju and Leke Baiyewu
There was a
growing anxiety among the friends, family and political associates of
the immediate past Minster of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani
Alison-Madueke, on Thursday as rumours made the round that the ailing
minister had died on Thursday.
The fact
that Alison-Madueke is being treated for cancer in the United Kingdom
heightened the rumour as many reports on the social media reported her
death.
However, her lawyer, Mr. Oscar Onwudiwe, debunked the rumour of the former Minister’s death.
When contacted on the telephone, he said, “It’s not true.”
The United
Kingdom National Crime Agency had in October 2 arrested the former
minister over allegation of corruption and released her on bail
Meanwhile,
a human rights activist and Executive Director, Women’s Consortium of
Nigeria, Mrs. Olabisi Olateru-Olagbegi, died of cancer on Wednesday at
the age of 62.
The
President of Women Arise and Campaign for Democracy, Dr. Joe
Okei-Odumakin, in a series of tweets on her Twitter handle on Thursday,
expressed shock over her death.
Graduate posts girl’s nude pictures online, teenager alleges rape
The Lagos
State Police Command is investigating a case of a 19-year-old girl,
Gbemisola, who claimed to have been raped by a university graduate,
identified only as Kunle.
Gbemisola told PUNCH Metro
that after the rape, Kunle, 24, began to blackmail her, threatening to
release her nude photos if she refused to send him some money.
After the victim reportedly yielded to the threat two times, he allegedly demanded another payment of N10, 000.
When Gbemisola refused, the suspect was said to have posted the nude photos on the Internet, including her phone number.
The victim was said to have been called by some of her friends and family members who saw the pictures.
The incident happened in Agiliti Estate, Ketu area of Lagos State.
Afolabi, a caterer, told PUNCH Metro that she met the suspect about three weeks ago.
She said,
“I was going home that Friday when he stopped me on the road and said he
wanted to be my boyfriend. I told him I was already in a relationship
with someone else, and that I was not interested.
“He said he would not mind being a mere friend. We exchanged contacts and I left for my house.
“I always post pictures of my new cakes on Whatsapp and he saw one of them and said he liked it. He said he wanted me to make a cake for him. I agreed.
“He asked
where I was and I said I was at my sister’s shop. He said we should meet
at the junction because the cake he wanted was on his phone and he
would want to show me what he wanted.”
She
explained that when they met, the suspect claimed to have forgotten the
phone at his parent’s home in Agiliti Estate, and asked her to follow
him home.
She alleged that no sooner had they got to the house than Kunle locked the door and raped her.
“I blamed myself for my predicament and I decided to bear the shame in silence.
“However,
on Monday, which was three days after the rape, he called me, saying if I
refused to meet him, I would regret it because he had my nude photos
and he would post them on the Internet.
“I begged
him and he said I should send him a N1,500 recharge card, which I did.
Two days later, he demanded another N2, 000 recharge card, and I sent
it.
“Later, he said I should send him N10,000. I was angry and dared him to do whatever he wanted to do.”
Gbemisola,
who finished secondary school last year, said she was surprised when
she saw her nude photos, with her phone number, on the Internet.
She said the incident had affected her psychologically.
The victim’s sister, Ramota, said she got to know about the incident from a family friend who saw the nude pictures.
She said,
“My younger sister said she saw Gbemisola’s nude photos on someone’s
phone. I was told she wanted to hurt herself due to the shame and
disgrace it had brought on her.
“I
followed some other family members to Kunle’s parents’ house and they
promised to make him delete the photos. But we never knew the photos had
gone viral.”
It was
learnt that the case was first reported at the Lagos State Office of the
Public Defender, before a community leader, Yomi Odegbami, took the
matter to the Ketu Police Station.
Odegbami asked the government to bring the culprit to justice to serve as a deterrent to others.
“The
police and the government should urgently wade into this case before
other young girls fall victim of this wicked man,” he said.
Kunle, when contacted by our correspondent denied the allegation, saying he was in a relationship with Gbemisola.
He said
the nude photos were not circulated by him, adding that the 19-year-old
originally sent the photos to him during their conversation on Whatsapp.
He said,
“I am a graduate of a private university in Osun State and I know what I
am doing. We met a few weeks ago and we started chatting on Whatsapp. I asked her to send me some of her pictures when she travelled to Ondo, and she said, ‘Is it my breasts?’, and I said yes.
“After that, I asked for the pictures of her private parts, and she sent them to me. I did a picsmix
of the photos and jokingly sent it to her. I have since deleted the
photos from my phone. The only regret I have was that I showed them to
my friends.
“The first
time she visited me, we didn’t do anything. It was the second time she
came that we made love. I have all our chats as evidence that she sent
those pictures to me.
“She came
with her relatives to my house and damaged my laptop which I bought for
over N90,000 and now, they are going to the press. I know my rights and
if this is the way they want it, no problem.”
The Police
Public Relations Officer, Joe Offor, said he would call back, but he
had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.
Mbaka meets Buhari inside Aso Rock
Fiery Catholic priest and the Spiritual Director of the Adoration
Ministry in Enugu, Rev.-Father Ejike Mbaka, on Friday met behind
closed-door with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.
Mbaka stirred controversy earlier in the year when he delivered a message that former President Goodluck Jonathan would fail in the presidential election.
He had said that the Holy Spirit told him Jonathan was not favoured to continue as President going by the state of the Nigerian economy and widespread insecurity, which he had failed to contain.
The clergyman who was accompanied by four men met with Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
and it's a bleak one.
Like a gift from the Christmas gods, we have been given a glimpse into one possible future for Kevin McCallister from Home Alone
Macauley Culkin has resurrected the role that made him famous in the debut episode of comedic web series :DRYVRS, from writer/musician Jack Dishel.
The series follows "Jack as an on-demand car service passenger and chronicles the strange drivers he encounters,"and in the inaugural entry, Jack is picked by none other than a strung out Kevin.
Without ever explicitly saying it, Kevin begins to launch into a rant about this "one time" his family accidentally left him at home on Christmas when he was 8.
It's clearly paid a toll on his psyche, especially when Kev describes having nightmares about this "bald weirdo dude who chased him around while talking like Yosemite Sam" (referencing Joe Pesci's thievin' Harry).
At one point, they're held at gunpoint by a carjack, but Kevin--ever resourceful with fending off assailants--has a few tricks up his sleeve.
Is anyone surprised that Kevin grew up to be a torture-enthusiast?
I hope this signals to Hollywood that a Home Alone: 30 Years Later is NECESSARY.
