Female armed robbery leader and her gang members arrested in Lagos

You know what they say, what a man can do, a woman can do better. Chioma Ezekwesiri (pictured above alone and with members of her gang) is the leader of a robbery gang that was arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, in Lagos last week. Chioma and her gang were arrested while attempting to rob a man staying a Bolatito Hotel, Kola Bus Stop, Ijaiye, Lagos.

The robbers were caught after hotel staff called the police when the robbers stormed the hotel looking for their target. The police found two guns and 12 live ammunition in Chioma's car and promptly arrested her and her gang. She later told the police the guns were for an operation over a land matter.

The 35 year old gang leader said she is a Law graduate from the University of Lagos, where she supposedly graduated in 1999 and called to bar in 2000. A claim that has been found to be untrue. Chioma is currently locked up at Kirikiri while awaiting trial...

Other members of Chioma's gang include: Raymond Chukwuka, 24, Ignatius Okeredi, 27,  Michael Madu, 52, Okechukwu Jerome, 28, and Amadi Igwe, 41.

Hon. Rotimi Makinde denies taking his honeymoon to Obudu Ranch due to bankruptcy

 

Newly married entertainer turned politician, Rotimi Makinde, and his new wife, former Miss Osun state are currently observing their honeymoon at Obudu Cattle Ranch in Cross Rivers State. The couple left their base in Ile Ife Osun State some days after their wedding to Cross River state where they plan to spend at least a month, having the time of their lives at the wondrous hospitality haven.

Hon. Makinde's media personnel, Sanya Ojo, this week reacted to speculations that he took his new bride to Obudu Cattle Ranch instead of the Dubai honeymoon she'd had hoped for because he was bankrupt. Sanya Ojo said:

"Its misinformation and unfortunate for any discerning mind to nurse the insinuation that a trained and successful accountant in the person of Honourable Makinde could in any situation get involved in anything that could lead to financial recklessness. That as a thorough businessman, Honorable Makinde couldn't have in anyway spent beyond his budget or go into borrowing as being peddled by mischievous enemies. Moreover its more expensive to be in Obudu Cattle Ranch than going abroad for such things"

Islamic group wins, Miss World pageant moved out of Jakarta to Bali

Days after an Islamic group staged a protest against the organizers of the 2013 Miss World pageant, demanding that the pageant should not be held in Jakarta as it runs against their culture, the pageant organizers have been forced to move the final of the pageant to Bali - where they said today that it would be 'impossible' to stage the finale there, because of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, where world leaders and thousands of officials are expected to attend. The summit begins at the beginning of October while the pageant is scheduled to take place on September 28.

 “I think people can appreciate how complex it would be to move everything to Bali. Just getting the venue and all the accommodation is impossible with APEC here" Nana Putra, executive director of organizer, told AFP.

Nollywood location manager allegedly dies from drinking Chinese slimming tea

Asaba based Nollywood location manager Chinedu Epeagba (pictured above) died last week after a brief illness. Chinedu may have died from drinking too much Chinese slimming tea, if that possible.

According to Nollywood comic actor, Ugezu J. Ugezu, who posted on his Facebook page, a doctor who treated Chinedu said his death was as a result of complications triggered by slimming tea

 Ugezu said..

“Our preliminary investigation, backed with scientific presentations from the last doctor that treated him in Onitsha, shows that Dabebe died from complications triggered by the made in China slimming tea, which he started drinking in July. This tea, medicine or whatever, gradually destroyed all his internal organs and by the time he became too weak and got rushed to the hospital, his body couldn’t respond to treatment; organs were ruined already. The sad news is that Dabebe, that promising young man, is dead.”

Protests In Warri As Olu Of Warri Abolishes Ancient Cultural Practices

There have been protests and serious tension in Warri, Delta state for some days for now after the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwase II, announced the abolition of some of the ancient Itshekiri cultural practices. The Olu of Warri who is a born again Christian with a Foursquare Worship Centre in his palace, had last Wednesday September 4th declared in a document titled, “The New Order of Iwere Kingdom,” that the “Ogiame” title which had been in existence for over 500 years would no longer exist because it is purportedly associated to a river goddess. He now only wants to serve one God.

The Olu of Warri in the document, said:

“I also repent for the name and title of “Ogiame” that my ancestors and I have borne, as it connotes our allegiance to Umalokun (goddess of the river) and other deities of the sea, all of which are false gods. Today, I renounce our allegiance to Umalokun and other gods of the sea, land and sky. On behalf of the royal bloodline, the throne, the people of Iwere land, I publicly enter into a new covenant with God.”
