PASTOR ACCUSED OF ASSAULTING LOVER
A man, who claimed to be the pastor of
Prayer Mountain Ministries, Lagos, Olusola Adewunmi, has been accused of
aggravated assault against his lover, Queen Ujiatolor, in the Onipanu
area of Lagos State.
Although not legally married, the couple
are said to have two children together. Their five-year relationship is
said to have been fraught with domestic violence.
When the victim was visited in the hospital, her legs and hands were bandaged while she was also placed on drip.
She said, “I met Adewunmi in 2009; he
had just returned from Pakistan where he was said to have served a
prison term. He told me he was a changed man and a pastor; I believed
him.
“Soon after, we had a marriage introduction and our two families met and subsequently, we started living together.
“However, months into the relationship,
he started beating me. Sometimes, he would use a belt or any object he
found. After the beating, I would report to his parents and they would
come begging me to forgive him.”
The victim alleged that even during pregnancy, Adewunmi did not stop the beating.
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE GENEVIEVE AS MY WIFE- D'BANJ
Singer, Dapo Oyebanji, aka D’banj, finally opened up on his love life in a rare meeting with journalists in Lagos on Wednesday.
The self-styled Kokomaster was clearly
in his elements as he talked at length, amid occasional bouts of
laughter, about his career and other issues that were important to him.
One of the subjects was about his rumoured relationship with Nollywood
actress, Genevieve Nnaji.
Judging by the manner in which the
actress’ name kept popping off his lips, it was obvious that D’banj had a
very soft spot for her.
Aware that the grapevine had bristled
with the rumour that he was romantically involved with Genevieve, ever
since she appeared in the 2010 video of his hit song, ‘Fall in Love’, the singer said the actress had played a role in his success.

recently blessed with a set of quadruplets at Lagos University Teaching
Hospital, LUTH, Idi-Araba, Lagos, on October 1. They already have three sons
before the new additions.

source of worry for this couple, as Kehinde, a driver and Grace, a small-time
caterer, were already living from hand to mouth before the four extra mouths
put them at crossroads.
The family presently resides in a tiny, rented one-room

observe proper waste management system, saying the church burns its refuse

Environment, accompanied by a police team, stormed the church’s premises on
Sunday morning, leaving thousands of worshippers stranded as they could not
access the church for the Sunday service.

Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, said no institution is bigger than the law,

correct before the massive edifice could be reopened.

PAUL EMEJUE ARRESTED WITH COCAINE WORTH N57M
A 32-year-old textile merchant, Paul
Emujue, has been arrested by officials of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency for importing 5.745kg of cocaine worth N57m.
Emujue was said to have hidden the
cocaine inside laptop bags. He was said to be on his way from Sao Paulo,
Brazil, when he was apprehended at the Murtala Muhammed International
Airport, Lagos.
A statement by NDLEA Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said NDLEA Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar, confirmed the arrest.
Umar said, “The drug was detected during
the inward screening of passengers on Etihad flight. The cocaine was
ingeniously packed in laptop bags such that we had to cut the bags open
to detect the drug. The suspect could have escaped arrest, had the drug
not been detected.”
Ofoyeju, however, said investigation had
commenced into the case and Emujue, who hailed from Anambra State,
would be charged to court at the conclusion of investigation.
NDLEA spokesperson said the suspect was single and dropped out of school in Junior Secondary School in 1988.
The secondary school dropout said, “I
ventured into drug trafficking because of frustration. For the past 10
years, I have been dealing in textiles in Togo. In 2011, I relocated to
Brazil in search of greener pastures.
“Unfortunately, my business did not
flourish as I had expected. I was assured that I could make enough money
from drug trafficking to invest in my business. I decided to give it a
trial and I was arrested in the process.”
NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade, said, “The
agency will continue to arrest drug traffickers and charge them to
court. This arrest is commendable. Members of the public must note that
it is wrong to raise capital from drug trafficking because anyone that
ventures into the criminal act will be prosecuted. I urge stakeholders
to partner with the NDLEA in fighting drug trafficking.”
