Indonesia Jails Russian For 16.5 Years For Drug Smuggling
A Russian woman who smuggled drugs into Indonesia was
sentenced to 16.5 years jail Monday, escaping the death penalty just weeks after
seven foreign nationals were executed for trafficking narcotics.
Aleksandra Magnaeva, 26, was arrested in December after
arriving in Bali on a flight from Hong Kong with 2.1 kilogrammes (4.6 pounds)
of crystal methamphetamine stashed in her bags.
“If uncaught, the defendant’s action could have endangered
thousands of Indonesian youths,” judge Wayan Sukanila told the Denpasar
District Court, adding the sentence was more lenient because she had shown
remorse for her crimes.
Under Indonesia law, the maximum penalty for drug
trafficking is death.
During questioning Magnaeva said her boyfriend with whom
she had been living in China had instructed her to pass the drugs to someone
in Bali.
SUSPECT : My Wives Know I'm A Criminal And Not A Kidnapper
A 27-year-old suspected kidnapper, Rasheed Adetunji, who was
paraded alongside other suspects, has confessed that his two wives knew he was
a criminal and not a kidnapper.
He also revealed that he used part of the ransom money
collected from victims to get married to them.
According to the Osun State-born Adetunji, his love for
women is responsible for his having two wives at his age and had hoped to marry
more before he was arrested.
One of his wives had a premonition of
his current travails and warned him to stay away from members of his gang.
He regretted that he would miss his wives and family who, he
claimed, he was trying to make happy.
On how he joined the kidnapping gang, he said it was Niyi
Omosola that introduced and placed him and other members of the gang on an oath
administered by a native doctor, known as Baba.
The other suspects are Ifeanyi Chukwuleta, 25, from Oguta in
Imo State, and Kolawale Alani, 26, from Ekiti State.

Prison Guard Sexually Assaulted In Arizona
A female guard was sexually assaulted by a male inmate at an
Arizona prison in the second such attack on an employee in the last 18 months,
corrections officials said.
The April 13 attack at the state prison complex in Yuma was
only revealed by the state Department of Corrections late Friday after
inquiries by The Associated Press.
When asked why the department didn't acknowledge the attack
earlier, corrections spokesman Andrew Wilder said the agency was focused on
investigating the assault.
"Our priority is to have a full and thorough
investigation of the facts and make sure that is conducted to ensure that
justice is served for the victim in the matter," Wilder said.
The assault follows the January 2014 rape of a female
teacher at another prison that brought intense criticism of the Arizona prison
procedures for safeguarding corrections workers. The bare-bones details of that
attack were announced by the department shortly after it occurred, and other
inmate assaults on staff often are announced by the department in news
releases.
The most recent attack occurred in an office while the
corrections officer was meeting with inmate Fernandes Masters, Wilder said.
"The inmate attacked the officer during a scheduled
meeting in the housing unit office, and no weapons were involved," Wilder
said. "The officer called for assistance, staff in the housing unit
immediately responded to the location and pulled the inmate away from the
officer and secured him."
Man, Woman Charged With Murdering Two Policemen In Mississippi
A man and woman in Mississippi were arrested and charged
with murder on Sunday after two police officers were shot dead a day earlier
while conducting a routine traffic stop in Hattiesburg, officials said.
Authorities had launched a manhunt after at least one
suspect fled the scene of the shooting in a police car later found abandoned,
and residents in the city about 80 miles (130 km) southeast of Jackson were
told to stay indoors.
Marvin Banks, 29, and Joanie Calloway, 22, were each charged
with two counts of capital murder, police said.
Banks' brother Curtis, 26, was also arrested and charged
with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder.
Police said a fourth man, identified as Cornelius Clark, was
arrested later on Sunday in connection with the case and booked on an
obstruction of justice charge.
DuPree said members of the public quickly helped bring to
justice those behind the first killing of a police officer in the city for more
than 30 years.
"The community helped us," he said, without
elaborating. "No parent wants to bury their child before them. And here we
are on Mothers' Day. It's a tragedy for all America," he said.
The shooting happened on Saturday evening after Officer
Benjamin Deen, 34, stopped a gold Cadillac Escalade, and Liquori Tate, a
25-year-old recent police academy graduate, arrived as backup.

How To Get Rid Of Skin Lumps (Lipomas) Naturally!
Skin lumps usually appear on the head, neck, underarm, waist, shoulder and
arm. They are benign growths that can appear at any time. In medicine these
growths are often referred to as lipomas.
Lipomas usually appear in one part of the body, but on a
regular basis they may appear all over the body, and also cause certain
inconveniences.
Researchers still cannot confirm which is the root cause for
the occurrence of lipomas, but most of them agree that genetics is an important
factor. Many believe that obesity and cholesterol cannot be considered as risk
factors.
Get Rid of Fatty
Tissue Naturally
You do not have to
worry about your lipomas. What is more important, you do not have to worry
about using heavy medications or any scalpels running over your skin.
Don’t Expect Too Much From Buhari, Cardinal Okogie Tells Nigerians
The Catholic
Archbishop Emeritus, Anthony Okogie, on Sunday urged Nigerians not to expect
too much from the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, saying change is a gradual
process.The Catholic Archbishop Emeritus, Anthony Okogie
“Nigeria seems to be on a collision course with destiny and
the hopes of many are hanging in the balance. I can understand the sense of
urgency and expediency in the expectations of Nigerians,” he said in a
statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.
“Yet sincerely, I think we are expecting too much too soon.
Change will come but it will be gradual but surely.
“It will amount to putting the cart before the horse to
expect radical revolution from the General.
“We must exercise patience and give him chance to deliver on
his promises. What he needs more than anything is our support, cooperation,
collaboration and goodwill,” he said.
The cleric urged Mr. Buhari to focus on providing quality
governance on assuming office, and pay less attention to distractions.
He advised the President-elect to adhere to the blueprint
and road-map of his party that had brought about growth and development in the
states where they had been implemented.
“It is heartening to know that he has made anti-corruption
campaign the meter of his administration.
“In order for this not to run out of steam, he must build
institutions, both formal and informal, that will fight corruption and ensure
Nigeria becomes a society of law abiding citizens.
“His transition team and board of advisers should shun the
temptation to secure their selfish interest and come up with pragmatic action
plan that will help the president-elect realise his goal,” he said.
The cleric said that the task ahead of the President-elect
was enormous and appealed to him to explore available economic and social
opportunities in rebuilding the nation.
Nigerian Visa Goes For A Dollar In 13 Countries
While many Nigerians may have known visa fees of different
European and American countries, not many take interest in what the country
charges other nationals for the document.Nigerian-visa passport
But the fact is that the Nigerian Immigration Service has a
long list of the fees on its website, indicating clearly the differences in
terms of countries, the visa type and number of entries.
If what the NIS displays on the website is anything to go
by, nationals of Mauritania, Monaco, Morroco, New Zealand, Panama, Uruguay,
Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Burma, Dominican, Chile and Colombia are charged
between N100 and N 200 for a single-entry Nigerian visa. For those applying for
multiple entries, the fee is multiplied by the number of entries they are
seeking.
Weighed against the current exchange rate, it implies that a
Nigerian visa is still going for half a dollar or a little above that.
Applicants from the United States are charged the highest.
They pay N14,000 for either a single or multiple-entry visa.

Woman Learns She's 8 Months Pregnant After Boyfriend Touches Her Belly And Feels A Kick
A California woman surprisingly discovered that she is 32
weeks pregnant, after her boyfriend felt a kick in her stomach while they were
at a concert.
Abby Wake had initially believed that she was just bloated
and filled with gas due to her lactose intolerance. The North Hollywood couple
had no idea she was pregnant until she went to the doctor, where she found out
that her baby is due to arrive in just a few weeks.
Her boyfriend, Jarryd Gorman told CBS Los Angeles, “I felt
the baby kick and I looked at her and said, ‘I think you’re definitely
pregnant.’ [I said] we need to go see someone straight away.'
Wake says she felt absolutely no symptoms of pregnancy for
eight months, and just assumed that she was gaining a little bit of weight.
“There weren't anything like kicks and huge movements,” she explained to the site. “It
was just like gurgles.”
Emmanuel Adebayor Tells Another Part Of Family Story
In his words:
Here is another part of the story I have kept inside
since. Today I feel the constant need to let it out. If I share my stories, it
is because I believe every story comes with a lesson. And the lesson is for
anyone that is reading this. This is about a brother who keeps saying today
that I am not a good support for our family. His name is Rotimi Adebayor. At
the age of 13, he did something very bad. He and I know what he did. Because of
that our parents had to send him to a village far from the big city. When I
started to be successful in football and I went to Togo for vacation; at that
time one of my mother’s friend came from the village to visit us. As she
explained how Rotimi was suffering in the village, I immediately asked them to
bring him back into the city. As soon as he came back, I made sure I put him in
school. For me that is normal.
In 2002, I went to play the AFCON in Mali and I had the huge
privilege to swap my shirt with Marc-Vivien Foé. May his soul rest in peace.
When I got back to Togo, I put that shirt in a secure place. My brother found a
way to steal that shirt and sold it.
When I moved from Metz to Monaco, we reached an advanced
stage in the Champions League and we played against Real Madrid. It was one of
most beautiful day of my life because I was lucky enough to get a signed shirt
from the football legend Zinedine Zidane. As I brought that shirt back to Togo,
my brother still found a way to steal that shirt and sold it.
When I was in Metz, I was earning about €15,000 a month. I
wanted to get something unique for my mom to thank her for all she did for me.
I wanted to make her happy. So I decided to take an amount worth 3 months of my
wages and I bought her a Cartier neckless for about €45,000. Rotimi and his
friends Akim(@Yam Freedom) and Tao (@Sao Tao Oyawole) made a plan and stole
that precious neckless. They sold it for about €800. When my mom and I found
out, my mother asked me not to bother because he is the younger brother.
Despite the situation, I would like to take this same occasion to wish all the
mothers out there a Happy Mother’s Day!
In my house, I have a storage room where I keep some of my
belongings when I travel back to Europe. I am the only one with that key but my
brother managed to get a master key that was able to open every single door in
the house. He frequently stole drinks and other items from that room.
After all this we kept saying “blood is thicker than water”
and we moved on. Therefore, I decided to take him where I started my football
in France. I brought him to a great football academy in France. You already
know how this story ended. He stole cellphones from many of his teammates and
they sacked him from the football academy. By the way, after I published the
first story about him, he called me to say that he did not steal exactly 21
phones. He claimed that the number was lower than that. Still...Is that
acceptable? He also added that I should be happy that he stole drinks and other
items from my storage room. I asked him why and he replied: "Because I am
your brother".
The Ogun State Police Command has uncovered another
suspected ritual killers’ den in Unity and Peace Estate along Itele-Lafenwa
Road, Ota, in the Ado Odo-Ota Local Government Area of the state.
The discovery was made possible by the escape of a 28yrs old
lady, who had been kept in an uncompleted building in the estate, bound hands
and feet.
The lady was said to have been abducted, blindfolded, gagged
and dumped in the den. She was reportedly told by her captors that they would
come for her in the night on Wednesday.
But she managed to struggle to free herself and rolled
towards the entrance of the building.
Passersby in the area saw her and came to her rescue.
Policemen from the Itele Police Station, who were later invited to the scene,
were said to have cordoned off the area.
When the policemen combed the surroundings of the
uncompleted building, decomposing bodies of two female victims were said to
have been found.
Suspected bones of other victims also littered the place.
70-Year-Old Woman Uses Kidnapped 3-Year-Old For Begging In Kwara
It was drama in Ilorin, yesterday, as Kwara State Police
Command arrested a 70-year-old woman for allegedly kidnapping a three-year-old girl.
Speaking in an interview with journalists, a relative of the
girl’s mother, Mrs. Maryam Abdulganiyu, said the girl was found in a worship
place, popularly called Ori-Oke at Basin area of Ilorin, being used by the
suspect for begging.
She added that the suspect had claimed that she used the
proceeds from the alms begging to feed and clothe the girl.
The girl was declared missing on
March 25 by her parents, who reside at Old Shao Garage, Ilorin.
Father of the girl was said to have approached a cleric at
Ori-Oke. While the search for the girl was on, her grandfather, Mallam Isa,
went to the same Ori-Oke to worship and saw the septuagenarian with the missing
girl.
ZUMA : I’ll Pay Every HIV-Positive South African N0.84m To Wear A Tattoo
According to a bill newly signed by President Jacob Zuma, HIV positive South Africans that volunteer to
be marked near their genital area with a tattoo depicting their status, will in
addition to free counseling and medication. be paid an equivalent of N840, 000
(50 000 Rands) each.
The bill, according to a report by Radio City, a local South
African radio station, is widely regarded as one of the greatest steps in the
history of combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the country which has the highest
HIV prevalence in Africa.
Zuma who is reported to have volunteered to be the first
South African citizen to get his HIV status tattooed near his genitals,
however announced that only the first 10
million people (who already tested positive) to volunteer to have their HIV
statuses tatted on their genitals would be given the money in form of a funeral
expense voucher.
After signing the bill, Zuma was quoted as saying: “The mark
is to protect those who can’t say no to sex. I mean if you can’t read between
the lines you should read between the legs because that’s where the status
would be tattooed.
“The choice to be HIV positive is now in your hands or your
genitals for that matter…. We also encourage those who had been living with the
virus to go to the nearest public hospitals to get their status tatted in,” he
noted.
