Photo: Suspended Murderer On The Run Nabbed

A 27-year-old suspected murderer, Amadi, said he was arrested recently by policemen in Port Harcourt because of his dressing.

Amadi has been at large since December 19, 2016 when he allegedly stabbed somebody to death at Aker Base waterfront in Rumuolumeni, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The suspect told Daily Sun yesterday that he was apprehended on Monday, August 21, 2017 along Nkpordiagha road by policemen from Rumuolumeni Divisional Police Station overseen by Mr. Kingsley Chukwueggu.


He admitted to have committed the act as a retaliation during a fight with some boys who stabbed him and his companion.

Amadi said that he fled home after the incident in December 2016 and was nabbed recently when he boarded a tricycle from Nkpordiagha to waterfront to enter Port Harcourt City.

He said: “I was arrested on Monday, August 21 along Nkpordiagha road, by policemen when I wanted to cross water to Port Harcourt City.  Policemen were searching keke Napep (tricycle) passengers passing the road. They did not see anything with me but because of the way I dressed.  Police arrested me because I was wearing an earring and head-warmer. One of the policemen said I looked suspicious and arrested me.  I did not drag with them.”

He recalled the incident that led to the death of the boy was refusal of people carrying out oil bunkering at Aker Base waterfront to pay their daily fee to the community.

Amadi said he is an unemployed welder and was among the youths appointed by his community to collect money from the people doing bunkering business at the waterfront.

He explained: “When we got there (waterfront), we asked the boys doing business there the owner of the product. The boys did not respond.  We asked them again but none of them answered us.

Kim Kardashian Says North West Would Make a Better President Than Donald Trump

Kim Kardashian is no longer afraid to talk politics. Covering the September issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia (where she poses in a Cher-inspired photo shoot), Kim opens up about wanting to be more vocal about the issues affecting the U.S.

"Sometimes I feel like I want to speak out more about political issues," the E! reality star, 36, admits.

"You have to be really careful about what you say, because a lot of things can be taken in the wrong context and I always want to be respectful; I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings."

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is no fan of President Donald Trump, whom her husband Kanye West met with in New York City last year after the election (to much blowback).

"Anyone can run the U.S. better," Kim says. "My daughter [North West] would be better."

"We've worked so hard to get to where we were and to have so many things that we were so proud of in our country, to just literally revert backwards is the most frustrating thing. Every single day when you can't really believe what's going on, the next day it's something else even more crazy and tragic. It's really scary, the world that we're living in now," she says. "And when you did feel safe at home, now with Trump in presidency, you just don't feel safe any more."

North Korea Sentences Four Journalists To Death

North Korea’s Central Court has sentenced two South Korean journalists and two media executives to death for reviewing a book that outlines a sprawling underground capitalist economy in the secretive Communist state.

In an article on North Korean state media outlet KCNA, a spokesperson for the court said that the book originally published in English and since translated into Korean “insulted the dignity” of North Korea.

It declared that journalists Son Hyo Rim and Yang Ji Ho who work for South Korean newspapers Dong-A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo and Kim Jae Ho and Pang Sang Hun, who serve as director general of the two titles respectively, had received a death sentence by the Central Court of the DPRK.


"The criminals hold no right to appeal and the execution will be carried out any moment and at any place without going through any additional procedures as soon as the objects are confirmed," the spokesperson said.

While North Korea singled out the conservative Dong-A and Chosun newspapers, they weren’t the only publications that reviewed the book, which was released in South Korea earlier this month.

Read Buhari’s Sallah Message To Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari has given his Sallah message to Nigerians especially as the Muslim faithful celebrate Sallah.

 President Buhari thanked both Muslims and Christians for the prayers of recovery and good health they said for him while he was in London for medical treatments.

Buhari urged Nigerians to embrace peace, love and live like brothers and sisters because ‘‘a family tie is like a tree, it can bend but it cannot break.”

According to him, “Fellow Compatriots, I felicitate with you all, particularly the Muslim faithful, on the celebration of this year’s Eid-El-Kabir.


 “I congratulate our Muslim brothers and sisters who are currently in Saudi Arabia to participate in the rites of the Hajj.

“From the outset, I want to use this opportunity to thank all Nigerians who prayed for my recovery and have continued to extend their goodwill and support after my return to the country.”

 “Indeed your fervent and sincere prayers, which cut across religion, political and ethnic divides, has energised me to re-dedicate myself and this administration to the task of building a great Nigeria.

 “On the joyous occasion of this year’s Eid-El-Kabir celebration, I appeal to all Nigerians to rise against the odds, keep our prejudices aside and strengthen the bonds of friendship and unity to keep our country together.

“For Muslims all over the world, this celebration is to commemorate the trials and triumph of Prophet (Abraham) Ibrahim.

 “As we celebrate, I sincerely believe that our nation can make rapid progress on all fronts if we re-enact the exemplary virtues, typified by Prophet (Abraham) Ibrahim, through his sacrifice, patience, steadfastness, generosity and obedience to Allah’s command and constituted authority.

 “We must learn to see ourselves as brothers and sisters from the same heritage, who must come to terms with the African proverb that ‘‘a family tie is like a tree, it can bend but it cannot break.

“Once again, I assure you that this administration, which has made the security, economic well-being and prosperity of all Nigerians its priority, will not rest on its oars until we see the Nigeria of our dream. “I wish everyone happy Sallah celebrations,” the statement read.

32-year-old rape suspect, Ayuba Salihu, on Thursday told the Niger State Child Right Protection Agency how he lured and raped an eight-year-old pupil with N100.

Salihu, a tailor and resident of New Market, near Gwari Market in Chanchaga Local Government, admitted he had carnal knowledge of the minor.

“I saw her in front of my shop crying that she misplaced N100 out of the money she sold from pure water and I gave her the N100.

“The following time I saw her hawking, I called her to buy water but the devil lured me into the act.


“I am sorry to have engaged in such an act with a little girl, I promise never to repeat such act again, please forgive me,” Salihu pleaded with the agency.

In her narration, the victim’s grandmother told the agency that the victim was sent to buy N50 pepper in the morning of Aug. 26, but did not return home till 9 p.m.

“I became worried when she did not return home early.

“I called my stepson and we both went round looking for her because we thought she had been kidnapped.

“It was during the search that we saw her walking to the house at night.

“I asked where she had been and she did not respond until my stepson started beating her that she told us where she was.

“She confessed that a man, who is a tailor in the market, has been having sexual intercourse with her anytime she passes the area.”

According to the grandmother, the girls said the man lure her to a corner and raped her.

The grandmother said that she reported the matter to officials of Drug and Crime is Haram who arrested the suspect and brought him to the agency.

Narrating her ordeal, the victim said that the suspect lured her into his shop while hawking pure water and forcefully dragged her to a deserted area and raped her.

“He called me that he wanted to buy pure water, after buying the water, he held my hand and told me that we should go and flirt.

“I told him no, but he forcefully dragged me to a lonely area and brought out his male organ and penetrate me.

“He has had carnal knowledge of me five times and after the act, sometimes he would give me N10, N50, and N100 and warned me not to tell anyone or else, he would deal with me,” the girl said.

The Director-General of the agency, Mrs. Mairam Kolo, said that the suspect would be handed over to the police for further investigation.

Kolo who decried the rate at which children were being sexually abused at a tender age, noted that the agency would embark on vigorous awareness campaign against allowing children to hawk.

Disturbing Photo! Israeli Doctors Cure Man Suffering From 'Tree Man Disease'

It's not a mistake that the story has no photo above. You might find the picture very disturbing, I actually found it that way, hence the reason why the photo will be placed right after the cut. People wey get mind can read to the end, lol.

Israeli doctors have cured a man suffering from 'tree man disease'. Mohammed Taluli, 42, from Gaza, was plagued by the rare condition for a decade - but had been unable to find treatment.

Scared of what strangers would think about his lesion-covered hand, the recluse hid away in his own home and stopped venturing out into public. He was fearful of any possible situation that could cause him to show his affected hand to other people.

But now, following the operation, Mr Taluli is convinced his life will return to normal. He said: 'I have been suffering with this for nearly 10 years. After years of being ashamed and staying at home, unable to work and unwilling to show my hand to people, I have finally been given some hope of my life returning to the way it used to be.'

Katie Price's Nanny Denies Affair With Her Estranged Husband

Nikki, 40, was accused by Katie of sleeping with Kieran all over Katie's house, including her children's bathroom, and of reeking of cigarettes and body odour, which Kieran reportedly found offputting.

But she now claims the emails Katie stumbled upon on Kieran's phone were totally innocent.

"I did not sleep with Kieran," Nikki told the Sun . "She's read some emails and assumed we're having an affair. There's nothing intimate or sexual in them and I know because I sent them."


Nikki said that, in her opinion, the 39-year-old former glamour model is using her as an excuse to get divorced, which follows months of rumours about Katie and Kieran's marriage being in trouble.

"Katie wanted a divorce, she wants an excuse to get out and blame someone else," Nikki added.

Nikki had left the family's employment a few months ago, and Katie went public with her affair claims last Friday night, alleging that Kieran broke down crying after she confronted him with the discovered emails.

"I was gutted. For a year I was basically paying her to f*** my husband," Katie said over the weekend.

"Kieran told me they were f***ing all over my house for a year. When I confronted him he denied it at first, even when I said she'd admitted it. I was crying, asking, 'How could you do this to me again?'"

Meanwhile, Katie has kicked Kieran out of her mansion.
