Father Seeks Justice For Son Who Became Mentally Unstable After Confessing To Being Sodomized By A Hotelier In Lagos State

A father is seeking justice for his 16-year-old son who suddenly became mentally unstable after confessing that he was sexually molested by a popular Lagos hotelier at Bucknor, Isheri Osun area of the state. It was gathered that the distraught father, Edozie Christian, a spare parts dealer at Ladipo market in Lagos, said the incident started last Christmas when their son confided in his mother that he had a confession to make before the New Year.   The mother obliged their son with confidentiality only to raise alarm after the boy told her that the owner of a popular hotel in the area lured him and four of his fellow students to his hotel and sodomized them and warned them that if they disclosed it to anybody, they would die. “My son started behaving like a mad person after the confession. We rushed him to a prayer house and after some days when he became a bit sober, we took him to Isheri Osun police station where he made a statement and narrated his ugly encounter with the h...

DEPORTATIONS: President Donald Trump Gives Immigration Agents Power To Raid Churches, Schools And Hospitals

By
Image
The United States immigration authorities have been given the authority to arrest individuals at schools, churches, and hospitals following the Trump administration's reversal of policies that previously deemed these locations off-limits for enforcement. The policy change ends more than a decade of restrictions that protected these “sensitive areas.” The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, announced the change in a statement, emphasizing the importance of eliminating spaces where individuals could evade arrest. “Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. “The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,”  the statement said, as reported by the newsmen on Tuesday. The new directive, issued by Acting DHS Secretary Benjamine Huffman, also reinstates the use of expedited removal nati...

President Trump Signs Executive Order To End Birthright Citizenship

By
Image
  The  47th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump on Monday, January 20, signed an executive order vowing to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., despite a broad legal consensus that the Constitution guarantees American citizenship to everyone born on U.S. soil. Trump’s order directs federal agencies to refuse to recognize U.S. citizenship for children born in the U.S. to mothers who are in the country illegally or there legally on visas, if the father is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. The order would deny U.S. citizenship, including passports, to those children born in the U.S. starting 30 days from now, if at least one parent isn’t an American citizen or green card holder. The Supreme Court ruled more than a century ago that children born in the U.S. to foreign parents are U.S. citizens under the 14th Amendment. The only legally recognized exception applies when both parents are diplomats with immunity from U.S. laws. However, some lega...

A 30-year-old woman, Deveca Rose has been handed a 10-year jail term after her four sons died in a house fire after she locked them inside to go shopping at Sainsbury’s. Rose left her two sets of twins alone in the unsafe terraced house in Sutton, south-west London when the huge blaze broke out on the evening of December 16, 2021. Leyton and Logan Hoath, aged three, and four-year-olds Kyson and Bryson Hoath screamed out for help, and a neighbour desperately tried to break down the front door. Rose, who had split up with her partner and suffered from mental health problems, was found guilty of four counts of manslaughter. Judge Mark Lucraft KC said:  "There are no words to describe this case other than a deeply tragic one." The children’s father, Dalton Hoath, said losing his four sons was "the worst day of my life". Mr Hoath, who had split up with the defendant, added that he was "devastated" and his world had been turned "upside down" by the los...

By

On Saturday, Mercy Chinwo, the Nigerian gospel musician broke her silence on the battle between her and Ezekiel ThankGod aka Eezeetee, her former manager. The singer published a statement on Instagram signed by her lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi. “Contrary to the sensational narratives, Minister Mercy did not initiate any court action case against Mr Ezekiel ThankGod (Eezeetee) regarding her music catalogue. At no point has she claimed that a 50/50 revenue split from her DSP earnings is unfair,”  the statement read. Mercy said her relationship with Eezeetee began when she was his backup singer in Port Harcourt. In 2017, they signed a contract and her song ‘Excess Love’ released that same year was a success. She further said that it became expedient to relocate to Lagos in 2018. And the team did. Mercy said she played a role in singer Judikay joining the organisation in early 2019. Mercy said things changed by the end of 2019 and got out of hand the following year. She said her contract...

World's Richest Man, Elon Musk To Face Trial Over Failed $44Billion Twitter Takeover In October

By

In an  early victory for Twitter, a judge in the United States, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick has set a five-day October trial date for the looming legal battle between the social giant and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk.   It was gathered that the  hearing on Tuesday centred on Twitter’s push to set a trial date for as early as September in a case focused on Musk’s attempt to walk away from a $44 billion agreement to purchase the company. Twitter accused the Tesla CEO of smearing its reputation and lowering its value. “Delay threatens irreparable harm,” said Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of Delaware’s Court of Chancery, which handles many high-profile business disputes. “The longer the delay, the greater the risk.” Musk had announced that he was terminating the deal earlier this month, but Twitter has sought to hold him to it, saying he “knowingly, intentionally, willfully, and materially breached the agreement”. The San Francisco-based company is seeking to resolve months of un...
