•Shocking Story of a 34-year-old man accused of raping a 3-year-old in Lagos(PICTURED).
According to the girl's mother I was going to make my hair in the salon when I discovered that my daughter's temperature was high and I told Kehinde's wife to help me take care of her. But she asked me to leave her with her husband since she also wanted to make her hair and that we should go to the salon together.
It wasn't up to ten minutes after I went to get the drugs for her that I returned to the house and asked Kenny (Kehinde) to open the door but he didn't. Instead, he told me that the girl was sleeping, that I shouldn't bother myself about her. Then I asked him to at least open the door for me to see my girl and he said that he was in the bathroom."
The girl's mother said she was shocked when the door was eventually opened and she discovered that the girl had been defiled.
"I insisted that he opened the door. At this point, my daughter was lying down on the bed but was not sleeping. I asked him why he told a lie but he did not respond. I only observed that my girl was looking rather disturbed.
"When I opened her pant out of suspicion to check her, I saw sperm in between her thighs. I got really mad at him and asked him what happened but he went really wild and told me that he did not do anything. 'How could I have raped her?' he asked me and when neighbours came around, they were also as surprised as I was," she narrated.
The doctor's report confirmed that the girl was defiled following the tests carried out on her.
It was also alleged that the accused had pleaded with the family to settle out of court but the girl's family insisted that they wanted justice to prevail.
When the matter was initially taken to the magistrate's court, he pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of N250, 000 with a surety and the matter was adjourned till Friday, 22 February, 2013.
However, the matter was transferred to the family court. The court did not sit on 22 February and the matter was adjourned till 8 April, 2013.

Terrible accident killed Eight along Ibadan-Lagos Expressway
Witnesses say the crash, which occurred in Mowe area of the expressway, a stone throw to Redeemed Christian Church of God headquarters, was caused by the truck driver who was reversing on the highway.
The eight passengers, travelling in a space-wagon, were heading towards Lagos from Abeokuta, when the driver, already on a high speed, unexpectedly drove straight into the truck.
All eight passengers died on the spot of the accident, alongside the driver.
It took the accident rescue team almost an hour, before the corpses of the victims could be retrieved from the wreckage.
Other motorists and passengers plying the road who met the accident, could not hold back tears, as the battered bodies of the victims were being pulled from the car.
As at the time of this report, the number plate of the commercial vehicle had been removed, while the truck which caused the crash had been towed to the police station.
The corpses were deposited in the mortuary, as efforts were ongoing by the authorities to locate the families and relatives of the deceased.
Notorious Yahoo Boy that has swindled over $44 million captured by FBI.
He owned a hip hop record label and he lived the high life of luxury hotels, gambling, strippers and bling. But behind the glitz and the glamour Tobechi Enyinna Onwuhara was one of the FBI's most wanted men, allegedly a fraudster who scammed at least $44 million through cyber crimes.
But the advanced con artist, who fled Florida in August 2008 amid an intense FBI investigation, has been caught in Sydney and sent back to the US to face a string of fraud charges.
Nigerian-born Tobechi Onwuhara, 33, was "provisionally arrested in response to a request from the United States Government" in December last year, according to a spokeswoman for the Australian Attorney-General's department.
Mr Onwuhara is to face prosecution in the US for fraud related offences, including identity fraud and computer fraud, the spokeswoman said.
"On January 29, the Minister for Justice [Jason Clare] made a determination to surrender Mr Onwuhara to the US.
"As a matter of long standing practice, the Australian government does not comment on working matters," she said.
Fairfax Media understands Mr Onwuhara had lived it up in Sydney after disappearing in August 2008.
The FBI's website now lists Mr Onwuhara as captured, but with scant detail of the arrest. They were offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
The source who tipped off Fairfax said Mr Onwuhara had made regular trips to The Star casino as well as splashing cash at many popular nightclubs.
"He would bet at the Star under a different name, he was a regular, then one day he just disappeared and someone told us he wanted by the FBI," a source said.
A spokeswoman for Echo entertainment, owner of The Star, did not return calls and emails. The US Consulate in Sydney also did not return calls.
An Australian Federal Police spokesperson confirmed the AFP arrested Mr Onwuhara.
According to the FBI's most wanted list Mr Onwuhara is wanted for his alleged involvement in an elaborate scheme that defrauded the financial industry out of tens of millions of dollars.
"Onwuhara is a key member of a group of Nigerians who allegedly have conducted fraudulent banking activities from Florida and Texas, since 2005," the FBI's most wanted website states.
"It is alleged that the group has used online internet databases to steal victims' identities.
"Once acquired, they allegedly use the victims' information to gain access to the victims' 'Home Equity Line of Credit' accounts and wire transfer the money to accounts mainly located overseas, some in the United States."
Some of Onwuhara's alleged co-conspirators have been arrested, inside and outside of the United States, the FBI's website states.
Onwuhara was charged federally with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and a federal call for was issued for his arrest by the US District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, on August 1, 2008.

Oscar Pistorius' older brother has also been accused of killing a woman earlier.
His lawyer Kenny Oldwage, who also represents Oscar Pistorius, confirmed the charges today. Carl Pistorius appeared in court just two days before his brother's bail hearing last week, according to the Daily Mail.
According to the BBC, police conducted tests on Carl Pistorius' blood at the time of the accident, and he was found not to have been drinking alcohol.
Carl was initially accused of reckless or negligent driving, but the matter was later provisionally withdrawn. However, the charges were reinstated after the victim's family said they believed it was more than an accident. Carl Pistorius' trial is set to begin at the end of March.
Meanwhile the police have told Reeva Steenkamp's family that Oscar crushed her skull with a cricket bat before shooting her dead. Grieving relatives who saw her body before Tuesday's cremation in Port Elizabeth described horrific injuries from the cricket bat, and entry wounds from 9mm bullets fired by Pistorius.

Shocking Story of the Ugandan Boy who was raised among Monkeys now struggling to adapt
As the soldiers roamed about the bushes, they spotted what looked unmistakably like a human being among the monkeys. They had to disperse the monkeys in order to rescue the boy, but it was a struggle because the monkeys put up a fight.
One adult female monkey held Mayanja tightly to her bosom in an attempt to protect him
It is believed that his parents were killed in 1982 during the war and the boy was abandoned in the forest. He was believed to be about three years old when he was left alone and lived in the wild for another three years.

Mayanja has learnt rudimentary life skills like toilet manners. He knows when it is time for toilet and does not soil himself. He walks to the toilet door and waits for someone to help him. He likes sunbathing and staying in isolation and sometimes makes monkey-like sounds.

When he was found, he could not sit or stand, but only squat and jump. He neither smiled nor talked, but made jungle noises, which quickly got him a new name — Monkey Boy.
In the beginning, it was a struggle to take him through the bathroom procedure, but now it is his favourite activity. Though he cannot dress himself, he voluntarily lifts his legs in turn to wear trousers and stretches out his hands for the shirt.
He does not know where to keep his clothes, though.

Nigerian Singer Paul Play Dairo Sues MTN For N500 Million Over Project Fame
We gathered that Paul, through his lawyer, Festus Keyamo, is slamming a N500 million suit on telecoms giant MTN and Ultima Studios, the producer of the music talent hunt show, Project Fame.

According to the singer, he was out of the country and in the United States last year when the song was used without proper licensing. His Intellectual Property manager, Ayo Rotimi was also said not to have been contacted by the show producers before the song was used and broadcast.
Paul's management, we learnt contacted the two organisations and their responses were "cold and uncooperative". This makes them to contact Festus Keyamo Chambers who has filed a lawsuit against both organisations, and they are said to be determined to see the case to its logical conclusion.
The representatives of both MTN and Ultima Studios could not be contacted as at press time.
"It is very sad to notice that even international companies in the calibre of MTN who have benefited enormously in the Nigerian economy is found wanting in unlawful exploitation of intellectual property. This is inappropriate and should be addressed," a concerned industry analyst said
How Wizkid became too much of a star for E.M.E
Well, here's all the details you need to know on the 'shaky' relationship between Wizkid and his former record label Empire Mates Entertainment (EME).
According to NET, Banky W who acts as Chairman of EME (the label is co-owned by Segun Demuren) learnt of Wizkid after talent manager Osagie Osanrenkhoe introduced them (along with upcoming rapper Skales) in 2009. The two were subsequently signed to the label and that started a journey they all probably didn't envisage would lead them to millions of Naira, mouth-watering endorsement deals, tours in the US and UK, property acquisition and of course controversy.
Banky and EME practically threw Wizzy in our faces – on radio, TV, magazine covers, Banky's 'The W Experience' album and with the potency of his hit singles like 'Holla at ur boy', 'Don't dull' 'Tease me' and a debut album 'Superstar', his name spread like wild fire, selling out concerts, winning international awards and scoring collaborations with top US artistes.
Wizkid soon became a household name, recording success and adding fame to his portfolio…thus his brand began growing 'geometrically', to a state where it tested the solidity of his label.
Wizkid became an elephant in the room, too big to move at the pace of his other label mates – so he decided to break ties and seek better counsel somewhere else, sacking his start-up manager Osarenkhoe (who remains with EME, building other talents like Niyola while working with non EME acts like DammyKrane) hiring Godwin Tom to handle his business on the local front and signing with rapper Tinie Tempah's Disturbing London management in the UK. He recently debut his Star Boy music label.
The question now is, will Wizkid succeed with his solo venture?

And last but not least I'd like to thank Dwayne for always making me feel comfortable on your side of the bed. Hiding pictures in your drawer. You know the night stand next to your side of the bed, the one with the two drawers. Think the picture is the one with you and Sanaa Lathan in it.

One-year-old Baby Bites Snake To Death
The infant, Imad Gadir, whose family resides in Shfaram, was not hurt when he bit the unlucky coin snake, but was taken to Haifa's Ramabam Medical Center, just in case.
According to Imad's grandfather, Shaheen Shaheen, who recalled the family's tumultuous morning, the boy woke up when his father left for work at 6:30 am. The 1-year-old left his parents' bed and headed to his room, where he found the 35-centimeter (13-inch) snake. He then grabbed it and bit its head off.
"It wasn't a pretty sight," Shaheen said. "He's a baby, he didn't know what he was doing. He thought it was a game. I don't wish this kind of thing on anyone."
When Imad's mother realized what had happened she began screaming, until a neighbor jumped the house's fence, entered the room and snatched the snake out of the boy's hand.
"I went to the kitchen to get him some milk, and when I came back I saw he was already eating," the mother, Alain, said. "I screamed until the neighbors came. I still can't believe what I saw."
Veteran snake-catcher Eli Cohen said he has never come across a case of this kind.
"I guess the kid acted out of a childish instinct when he put the snake in his mouth," he said. "Luckily for him, the coin snake isn't poisonous, otherwise it could have ended in a tragedy."
Eli Cohen, the owner of a pest control company, estimated that the snake was three years old, and said that his bite often hurts but is not dangerous to anyone who isn't allergic to it. He said that this type of reptile chokes his prey. "If it was a bigger snake, the boy could have been strangled."

Gunman kills lover, 7 family members in Lagos
Sandra’s twin sister and one of her elder sister’s daughter, however, survived.
Henry was also said to have proceeded to the home of another of Sandra’s elder sisters, living in the area, where he reportedly killed the woman and her three children.
The news of the killing quickly threw the area into disarray, as residents hurriedly shut their doors to avoid being hit by the rampaging kidnapper.
Policemen from all formations in the state were said to have raced down to Igando in search of the kidnapper who they said drove in a Sport Utility Van, SUV, to the scene.
Sources told reporters that an occupant of the building where Sandra was killed, reported at the Igando Police Station that robbers were operating in their building.
But when the police got to the scene, the gunman had left, but they discovered the lifeless bodies of Sandra, her elder sister and her children, while Sandra’s twin sister who sustained bullet wound told the police who their attacker was.
According to a source, who pleaded anonymity: “Sandra’s twin sister told us that the attacker was her late twin sister’s boyfriend who is familiar with everyone in their family but nobody knew he was a kidnapper.
“She told us that her late sister used to visit the boyfriend, Henry, at his base in Delta State and in one of such visits two weeks ago, some heavily armed men stormed Henry’s apartment manhandling Sandra in the process.
She added that the armed men reportedly told Sandra that her lover absconded with their share of the ransom paid to them for one of their kidnapping exploits, threatening to wipe out all his (Henry’s) family members if he did not pay them their money.
Thereafter, Sandra contacted her family members in Lagos, informing them of what had happened to her and they rushed to Delta State and brought her to Lagos for proper treatments. But while she was receiving the treatment, Henry, feeling betrayed, stormed their Lagos home. She told us that the moment Henry entered their apartment, her sister’s children welcomed him without knowing that he was out to kill them.
