Woman Arrested For Cutting Off Boyfriend’s Penis


A 21-year old South Africa woman, Evidence Nkuna, was on Wednesday arraigned in a Meadowlands Magistrates' Court for cutting off her boyfriend's penis.

South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson, Sibusiso Chauke told newsmen that the woman caught her boyfriend with another woman on Sunday and ordered them to strip naked.

 "It is alleged that the woman took out a knife and cut off her boyfriend's penis", Chauke said.

He said the woman was arrested the same day.

 
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Nkuna stood quietly in the dock throughout the proceeding on Wednesday.

The case has been transferred to the Protea Magistrates' Court.

The police said that Nkuna will now be charged with attempted murder.
Her previous charge was assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

She was, however, granted bail in the sum of R2 500 (about N45,000) and will appear in the Protea Magistrates' Court on Friday.

21 People Set Themselves On Fire To Set Guinness World Record






Twenty-one people lit themselves on fire in Cleveland, setting a new Guinness World Record. Everything burns in Cleveland.

In the city of the flaming river, a group of people lit themselves on fire to set a new world record. The 21 burners gathered on Saturday in the parking lot of a local restaurant as a roaring crowd counted down. "Three! Two! One! Ignite!

"The burners wore fireproof gel suit under their flaming layers of cotton and wool.

Torches flared, and the crew burst into flame, marching back and forth across the lot with their arms extended like blazing airplanes.

The 32-second stunt ended with a stop, drop and roll into the Guinness World Records for "most people performing full body burns.

"Cleveland printing company Hotcards staged the spectacle as a fiery fundraiser on the banks of the Cuyahoga River, a waterway once so polluted it famously caught fire in 1969.

The burners marched back and forth for 32 seconds in front of a roaring crowd at Shooters nightclub in Cleveland.

"We take a lot of heat in Cleveland as the Burning River City. Yet, it became the catalyst for a lot Cleveland pride, including environmental movements, breweries, and a whole lot of 'Hot in Cleveland' fame," Hotcards' CEO John Gadd said in a statement. "It's a unique part of our legacy that we can embrace and give new meaning with such a magical spectacle.

"Stuntman Ted Batchelor coordinated a 55-person team of "burners" and "igniters" over two months of training. The burners wore fireproof gel suits under layers of cotton and wool that served as the fuel for the blaze.

Local CEOs, politicians, a funeral director, minister and radio DJ filled out the crew of flaming participants.

The new 21-person record eclipses the previous record of 17, also set in Ohio.

Batchelor lit two of them himself and scanned the lot as his blazing pupils glowed in the night.

"I could see it all," Batchelor told the Daily News. "And in my mind, it looked great. I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this looks beautiful.'"Batchelor, 55, had coordinated the previous record of 17 full-body burns in 2009 in South Russell, Ohio, and has set five Guinness records in his life.

He's well aware of the national embarrassment Cleveland suffered after the burning river and said the record was a way for the city to spark interest in its resurgence while raising money for the Cleveland Food bank and Brick by Brick, an Ohio-based charity that aids women and children in South Africa.

"We're going to take that fire and use it to our best interests," Batchelor said.

Agagu’s Burial May Still Hold Tomorrow Despite Unfortunate Plane Crash



Indications have emerged that despite the incident of plane crash involving the corpse of the late Agagu and some of his family member in Lagos today, the family of the deceased and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are insisting of going on with the burial ceremony tomorrow at Iju Odo in Okitipupa local government.
DailyPost gathered that the family had already sent a team to Lagos to convey the corpse which was said to be intact despite the crash which claimed over 11 souls including a Commissioner in Ondo State, Mr. Deji Falae. The family said since Agagu's son, Feyi and daughters in-law survived the crash, nothing would stop the burial.
A source had disclosed that Feyi, had spoke with his mother and other family members, an indication that he was in good condition.
However, A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP], Chief Olusola Oke, who was in distress said, "the disasters are tasking our souls and breaking our hearts. Oke, who was flanked by other PDP Chieftains, said "at a time we were thinking of giving triumphant entry for a peaceful commitment to mother earth, of our great leader, this disaster struck to shake his biological, political and social families to their very existence.

"While we commiserate with the families of those who lost their lives, we thank God for saving the life of the late Agagu only son, [Feyi] for the sake of sustaining the former governor's dynasty.
"We were also full of praises that the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo son, Gbenga who was on board of the plane has also been reported to have survived the ordeal.
Oke called for full investigations of the disaster, which he attributed to carelessness or sabotage.
He also thanked God that Agagu's remains were intact saying "our leader will still be given the deserved burial, part of which had already started".
According to the PDP leader, all praise should also go to those who rescued the survivors of the plane crash, stressing that the burial would resume with minimal delay after due consultation with Agagu's family and the state government.
The State PDP Chairman, Mr. Ebenezer Alabi said the late Agagu does not deserve what is happening to him, saying "we are still very shock, but we are consoled that his heir-apparent did not die, that is the only joy we have.
Also, the Deputy Governorship Candidate of PDP, Hon. Saka Lawal called for prayers in the state, adding that the people need to move closer to God for deliverance.
"Ondo State needs prayer. What has happened is just for us to move closer to God. I will like to say, this has never occurred in the history of Ondo State. I will like to sympathize with the people of the state. It is unfortunate that our dear state is going through this kind of disaster. Again, we need prayer; everybody must come together for divine intervention from the hands of the evil forces". Lawal said.
When Daily Post visited the residence of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation [SGF], Chief Olu Falae who is the father of the Commissioner, sympathizers were in prayer session for the survival of Deji, the Commissioner.
We also observed that Falae, who was surrounded by two friends kept mum, and only responded in Yoruba Language by saying "E se oo, E se oo" meaning "thank you, thank you” repeatedly.

Mass Exodus Hits COZA After Alleged Sex Scandal Of Pastor


"Smite the shepherd and the sheep will flee". This biblical injunction vividly captures the ongoing scenario at the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA.

The name COZA became a 'street anthem' a few months back following a shocking confession by one Ese Walter, an ex-member of the church of her week-long sexual escapade with the senior pastor of the church, Abiodun Fatoyinbo. Ese's claims had opened a floodgate of other cases. Another church member who simply identified herself as Franca also alleged that the Apostle, most commonly described as a man with 'uncommon prophetic insight' al lured her to Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos, for a 'romantic prayer'. However, since then, the pastor has neither come out to refute or accept the allegation, but claimed that he was still waiting for God's order. While many still doubt the authenticity of the allegations, some light-hearted members of the church are gradually leaving the church.

This, Daily Post learnt during a recent visit to the Lagos branch of the church, situated in Maryland, Ikeja. Our findings revealed that many aggrieved members and deacons have left the church since the authority of the church decided to sweep the matter under the carpet. When our correspondent inquired from a member why the church looked so empty on a Sunday, he was told the population of the church was reducing drastically on weekly bases. "I think this started not quiet long. Last week was even the worst; you could see empty seats everywhere," the fair complexioned female member said.
 Asked if the man of God had come out to deny or admit the allegation, the member said they've warned them never to talk about it anywhere, until he (Pastor Abiodun) hears from God. "I think this is one of the reasons many members are leaving. The church authority had warned us never to talk about the issue until the man of God speaks, and I think many are beginning to find it hard to believe. "His members had since called on the pastor to come clean on the adultery allegations, but he prefers to remain silent until God says otherwise.

Our sources revealed that the church stands divided because of the incident. While many insisted that the pastor should speak out, others are of the opinion that since God asked him to keep quite, he should wait until he says otherwise. A member was quoted as saying, "God can't ask you to keep quiet in this matter because his name is at stake too. The church of God is being accused here and the same God is telling him to keep quiet? That is immaterial, I can't accept that. "Findings further revealed that the preacher is currently working behind the scene to 'bury' the allegation. The preacher has vowed to put an end to the ugly development that has soiled his hard-earned name and reputation.

We were also told that the man of God is making effort to reach out to the media to clear the mess and get the whole issue out of the public domain. It was gathered that members of the church are also calling on Pastor Biodun to tender unreserved apology if he actually committed the sin or come out boldly to clear the air, rather than 'waiting for God to tell him when to speak. - See more at:

I WAS KIDNAPPED BY A GANG OF WOMEN AND FORCED TO HAVE SEX FOR FOUR DAYS -SOLDIER


A soldier was kidnapped and repeatedly forced to have sex by a gang of women for four days before being dumped on a remote mountain range and stoned, police said.

Cops in Zimbabwe say the 25-year-old was willingly picked up April 19 by two women and a man in a Mercedes Benz who offered him a ride to the city of Mutare.

But, after driving in the right direction for an hour, the driver suddenly changes directions — threatening his victim with a knife to keep quiet.

“One of the female passengers then blindfolded the complainant with a black cloth,” said Manicaland Assistant Inspector Muzondiwa Clean.

The gang, which has not been caught, took the man to a house where they stole $35 in cash and his cellphone before stripping him “nekkid,” reports NewsDay.

Over the following four days, he was ordered to “be intimate” with one of the women “several times.”

On April 23, the gang again blindfolded the man, taking him to the Dangamvura Mountains, where they lobbed rocks at his feet and drove off leaving him for dead.

The soldier managed to make his way to Sakubva Police Station to report his ordeal.

This guy is lucky to be alive. Ironically, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard of such a thing happening in Zimbabwe.

Be careful out there guys.

ACCIDENT: GOVERNOR OKOROCHA LEAVES UK FOR ISRAEL



 
Governor Rochas Okorocha
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has left London where he was receiving medical treatment for Israel, it was learnt on Saturday.

Okorocha had left Nigeria on April 20, 2013, after he sustained a head injury in a car accident.

When our correspondent made an enquiry from one of his aides on Friday it was learnt that Okorocha had left London for Israel.

Okorocha’s Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, confirmed that the governor had left London. “He has left London and he is doing very well. He is currently in Israel,” he said.

Another top government official, who pleaded anonymity said that the governor was in Israel for a second round of examination.

Uzoukwa, however, denied that the governor moved to Israel on health grounds.

“He only went to Israel to attend to certain matters and will be back soon,” he said.

Okorocha was involved in a car crash on Orlu-Owerri Road in the state on April 19.

The accident occurred when a Mercedes Benz 200 ran into the governor’s convoy and had a collision with his own car.

Okorocha was on an inspection tour of projects in Orlu area when the crash occurred.

“The accident led to a minor cut on the governor’s scalp,” Uzoukwa had said.

He said Okorocha’s head was bandaged, but noted that he was stable and strong.

Okorocha had said he would seek further medical attention due to the level of impact of the accident on him.

“Although the accident left me with a cut and some minor injuries, I am fine. I will, however, seek further medical attention because of the degree of impact made by the crash,” the governor was quoted as saying after the crash.
