There Is An Evil Snake In Me''- Woman reveals
Woman, Maria Tsotetsi 49, from east of Johannesburg, South Africa, says she has an evil snake inside her stomach.
She said she has been told by several prophets and traditional healers to try and get rid of the reptile inside of her.
Maria, who looks pregnant, said she was in hospital in 2011, where the doctors told her she had a growth.
"They told me I had lost blood and they wanted to operate on me but nothing happened after that. The nurses put me on drips, but a few days later, they released me."
She said that her ex-boyfriend then took her to a bishop after she complained about a pain in her stomach.
The bishop told her to strip her of her clothes and gave her muthi (herbs) to steam.
"The muthi was covered in a white and brown snake skin. The bishop said it would cure me," she said.
But a few days later, she realised there was something in her body and her teeth started falling out.
"I believe the muthi made me lose my teeth. My boyfriend then dumped me after 14 years and I've been single all this while," she said.
"I want him to come and remove the snake he put in my stomach.
I believe he's responsible for this." She said she sometimes has her period for two weeks and it's so heavy she has to use nappies.
Traditional healer Ntsimbi Ngema said: "This kind of thing is done by jealous lovers.
There's no way Maria could have a new boyfriend because he could die after having sex with her."
A doctor who didn't want to be revealed said Maria could be suffering from all sorts of things, including kidney stones or gall stones.
BREAKING NEWS: Gov. Suntai’s Wife Begs Legislators Not to Impeach Her Husband
Taraba State political crisis has entered another phase with Hajia Hauwa, the wife of Governor Danbaba Suntai, called on members of the State House of Assembly not to impeach her ailing husband.
This development followed the commencement of signatures collecting by the legislators for the impeachment of the governor, as the legislators understood Mr. Danbaba is not fit enough to resume duty, despite being treated in hospitals for about 10 months.
The legislators began the impeachment move on August 28, 2013, after the governor announced the dissolution of the state cabinet through his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Sylvanus Giwa.
According to sources, earlier today Hauwa got wind of the impeachment move and quickly arranged for the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Haruna Tsokwa, and a few other legislators to visit the governor.
It should also be noted that Hauwa did not allow the Speaker or the Acting Governor, Garba Umar, to have audience with Governor Suntai since he was brought back to Nigeria on August 25, 2013, Sunday.
However, Hauwa’s intervention has small chances to succeed, as, reportedly, most of the legislators have already signed the impeachment notice.
What really angered the legislators was the allegedly stage-managed video of Suntai’s purported broadcast to the people of the state.
Taraba residents were also annoyed, said there was nothing like a live broadcast by the ailing governor as reported by a section of the media, adding that it was a stage-managed recorded tape that the state owned television station broadcast on August 28, 2013.
According to sources, the swearing in of the new Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Timothy Kataps, was also stage-managed as none of the documents pertaining to his swearing in was signed by the Commissioner for Oaths.
S*x scandals rocks Nigerian prison as female inmates are been abused
The fundamental rights and dignity of female inmates at the Owerri Prison are now being violated following allegations that they are subjected to intimate abuses, which sometimes allegedly result to unwanted pregnancies.
Although the allegation was denied by the Prison authorities, which described it as unfounded.
However, it was gathered that some of the female inmates, who were not pregnant at the time of conviction, are been delivered of babies. How then?
But prison sources said that some of the female convicts were pregnant before they were imprisoned.
A source, who did not want her name mentioned, alleged that some of the female inmates, especially those who are still awaiting trial, “buy” their freedom to move about with intimate gratification with some “corrupt prison officials”, who thereafter allow them to access privileged comforts denied to other.
The source continued: “The babies delivered by these inmates are either illegally adopted or sold to operators of baby factories.
This has been going on for a long time and the authorities are not ready to check the menace,” asking: “How else the situation could be explained, that a convict could be impregnated without the knowledge of the prison officials? It is either that they are allowing their spouses to come and sleep with them in the prison or they are being impregnated by those who control them for certain.”
When contacted, the prison’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. James Madugba, said that the allegation could not be true.
Madugba said: “I am speaking authoritatively, it is impossible to penetrate the female cells, which is constructed in such a way that it will be difficult for the female inmates to mingle with their male counterparts.
Female inmates are kept in a different building with its own big gate guarded by female prison officials who are instructed not to allow male officials into the building.
Female inmates who were pregnant when they enter the cell are given adequate care.
When time of delivery comes, we take them to the Federal Medical Centre where they deliver their children, after which they return to prison with their babies.
“intimate abuse does not arise, it is simply not possible.
You cannot even see the female cell from the open compound; it is entirely segregated from every other part of the prison.
How can the spouse sleep with their convicted wives when they are not given the opportunity to be alone? When they visit, there are female Prison officials to listen to their discussions and the cell is finally closed by 6:0pm to ll visitors.”

COZA Members Ask Pastor Biodun To Tell The Truth About The Sex Scandal
This whole Ese Walter and Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo’s sex scandal saga keeps getting messier.
Concerned members of the Common Wealth Of Zion Assembly, COZA church have expressed disappointment that their Pastor has not categorically accepted or denied the accusations levelled against him.
Fatoyinbo has been in the news since the the blogger and church member, Ese Walter made the confession some days ago.
However, the pastor who spoke on the accusations in the Sunday service has neither come out to refute or accept the allegation but claimed that when he asked God, God told him to keep quiet, a statement, which his teeming members have described as ‘immaterial.’
Some members of the church are strongly not in support of his silence rather they want him to come and clear the air.
According to a member of the church who gave his name as Israel said the pastor should stop beating about the bush but come out to tell his members the whole truth.
“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 same God is telling him to keep quiet? That is immaterial, I can’t accept that. I came to church this morning to hear from him only for him to spoil my day with such statement.”
The man went on to say he would still continue to worship with the church “I’m not worshiping the man of God, my aim is to make heaven at last, that won’t stop me from going to the church but we should not lie against God.” He added.
Another lady who gave her name as Tees, said, “The truth is that members of the church will support their pastor. The girl will be at the receiving end even if she is telling the truth. That’s Africa for you. If it were Yankee, They would investigate this man.
Now the girl must feel like its a million people against one person. I believe her though, but I also believe she feels scorned. That is the root of all this revelation. Hell hath no fury like a “woman scorned”
For Simzie, the man of God is yet to clear the air on the matter.
According to her, “As far as I am concerned, you have not said anything to refute the allegation made against you, or maybe I do not understand your language. Just make it simple by saying NO, this never happened or better still if you are too proud or ashamed to confess to your subjects or congregation, then I suggest you go to a higher man of God and help yourself.
One thing I am sure of is that you need help. Why do I believe Ese? I went through something similar in the hands of a man of God who claimed that he was visited by Jesus Christ in his home. Ladies, we really have to be careful. There is so much deception going on now in the world,” he warned.
Another angry member of the ministry who would not want his name mentioned said he would be disappointed if the pastor is found guilty of the allegation.
According to him, “There’s no smoke without fire, a lady would not just wake up and start writing what she doesn’t know. I just pray he’s impeccable because this is big shame to the body of Christ,” she said.

How My Father Deflowered Me And Forces Me To Sleep With Him – 17-Yr-Old Confesses
A 17-year-old female student of Takoradi Senior High School (names witheld) revealed in an interview that her biological father deflowered her and has been having s*xual intercourse with her regularly for the past nine months, at his Adiembra residence near Sekondi.
According to the girl, her father who was staying temporary in Spain returned to Ghana in december last year.
“At the age of 16, I had not slept with any boy or man, but my father returned from Spain last December and started having s*x with me,” she said. The girl said her parents were divorced and her father was the one taking care of her so he threatened to stop supporting her if she told anybody.
“If my father doesn’t pay my fees no one will.
My mother does not have the means to take care of me in school so I was afraid to inform anybody about my ordeal; not even my mother,” she said.
She also revealed that her father stopped her from going to church in fear that she might inform some of the church leaders of what he had been doing to her.
The girl indicated that on Friday August 23, 2013, after she had returned from school her father demanded to have s*x with her but she refused and he gathered all her belongings including school uniforms, text and exercise books and set them ablaze.
“After that he still wanted to have s*x with me so I ran away to a neighbour’s house and it was there that I broke the news to some of the residents.
It was learnt that personnel of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVSSU) of the Ghana Police Service in Sekondi yesterday arrested the father and placed him in custody pending further investigations, after a report was made.
A medical report form was issued to the 17-yr-old victim to seek medical care after which the accused was arrested.

Jonathan Fires Youth Development Minister!
The Minister for Youth Development, Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir was on Monday relieved of his position. As of the time of filing this report, no reason had been given for the development.
Abdulkadir’s sack which takes immediate effect was announced via a statement signed by Sam Nwabaosi, the Special Assistant on Media to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The Minister was directed to hand over to the Permanent Secretary in the ministry with immediate effect.
The statement reads: “His Excellency Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR President and Commander –in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria has relieved Inuwa Abdul-kadir, Esq of his appointment as Honourable Minister of Youth Development with effect from the 26th of August, 2013.

Meet Mother who is pregnant for her son, set to marry him
A woman and her son have done the unthinkable, they claim to have fallen in love with one another.
And now they want to marry since the mom, Betty Mbereko from Mwenezi in Masvingo, is six months pregnant and expecting her son’s child.
Mbereko, 40, who was widowed 12 years ago, has been cohabiting with her first child, Farai Mbereko (23).
She confirms that she is six month pregnant and that she has decided it is better to “marry” her son because she does not want to marry her late husband’s young brothers, whom she says are coveting her.
Betty stunned a village court last week when she said the affair with her son had begun three years earlier.
She said after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had a right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it.
“Look, I strove alone to send my son to school and no one helped me. Now you see that my son is working and you accuse me of doing something wrong.
“Let me enjoy the products of my sweat,” she told the village court council.
Farai said he was more than prepared to marry his mother and would pay off the ilobola balance his father had left unpaid to his grandparents.
“I know my father died before he finished paying the bride price and I am prepared to pay it off,” he said. “It is better to publicise what is happening because people should know that I am the one who made my mother pregnant.
Otherwise they will accuse her of promiscuity.” But local headman Nathan Muputirwa says: “We cannot allow this to happen in our village, mashura chaiwo aya, (This is a bad omen indeed). In the past they would have to be killed but today we cannot do it because we are afraid of the police.”
He warned them to immediately break off their marriage or leave his village. They chose the latter and have left the village for an unknown destination.
SCANDAL: Popular Blogger Who Exposed COZA Pastor Asks For Forgiveness
On Air Personality and blogger, Ese Walter, has deleted her social media pages after receiving insults from Nigerians and probably felt she’d rather do without the insults.
Words on the street are that she wrote this letter before her public confession yesterday; READ...
Dear Jesus,
I think I have erred this long because instead of getting to know you, I chose to pretend I already knew you.
Perhaps it was because everyone acted the same and I didn’t want to feel left out. Maybe I had heard about you too long to say I didn’t know you.
The truth however is, I really didn’t know you. It was impossible to fathom your love or why you would give it to a stubborn like me. Everywhere I went to find comfort and a way to relate to you, I was deceived.
The people, the church, the pastors, the messengers of peace…. All were out for their own selfish gains. After trying to understand what it meant to hear someone say “Jesus saved me,’ I finally gave up.
After moving from gatherings to gatherings I started to realize most of the words that proceeded from the mouth of the saints were mere words with no meaning. It was a damn religious circle and I was done with it.
Then there were the ‘mantles’ in form of handkerchiefs, anointing oils, gimmicks, dead works, pride in men who claimed to work for you and are generally referred to as ‘men of God.’ Reverence that bothered on fear for human beings, blind following of the pew, sexual immorality amongst pastors and their members, greed, politics in the affairs of the church and the list goes on and on.
I really was sick of it all Lord. So, I gave up. I didn’t mean to quit but something in me had seen enough and I didn’t want to be a part of the whole charade. In an attempt to keep my sanity, I ran. Further and further from your people and also from You.
I ran right back to the mud you brought me from. I ran back to the familiar. I ran back to a system that was real and thriving and even though it didn’t fill the void I felt on the inside of me, it numbed the pain.
It was good to be with people who didn’t pretend to believe what they didn’t understand. It felt safe to know that I wasn’t ever going to need to say “Jesus saved me” without fully understanding what that meant. I found peace with people who were real enough to say, ‘I want to live my life as I please and not have to account for nothing.’
It was easier to stay home on Sunday mornings than gather with a set of people who couldn’t understand why I didn’t fit in or who looked down their noses at me when I wore something they considered ‘unholy’ to the ‘house of God.’In all, it was great I was pushed out. It was great I stayed away from all the drama, stories, lies, greed, judgment and what not that pervaded ‘your house.’ Above it all, it was great I started to feel empty again.
This emptiness drove me to a deeper search for meaning. It drove me to me. It drove me to search the scriptures for myself, perhaps for the first time. And most excitedly, it drove me to You.
As I grow in knowing you Jesus, I realize that more and more of my authentic self begins to emerge. I realize that it’s not so hard forgiving those who have hurt me. I realize that I don’t have to be like everyone else or judge people. All I need to do is accept your love, your gift of salvation and rest in it.
I have no intention of ‘spiricoco-ing’ up neither do I point fingers at the way people choose to live but I have made up my own mind to embrace the light you bring and by my living, show others just how simple it is. Because of my experiences and the way I keep surviving, I am gentler with others and myself. I don’t fully understand my process yet, but I am learning to see me the way your word says you see me. I am attracting into my space, people, circumstances and events that are putting me right on the path I want to travel.
Today I say thank you. Thank you for staying with me like you said you would. Thank you for your Spirit that leads and guides me into all truth and continues to lead me even when I insist on holding on to a lie. Thank you for not allowing me die before my time. Thank you for the hope and assurance in my heart. Thank you for helping me develop a stronger sense of purpose.
Thank you for the tender heart I have. Thank you for my LA187 family, they have helped me in more ways than they could ever imagine. Thank you for my biological family who aren’t perfect but are just right for me. Thank you for peace, joy, love, understanding and the ability to empathize. Thank you for health, for soundness of mind and complete functioning body parts.
Thank you for your blood that speaks better things than the blood of bulls or goats (my mind is still trying to comprehend what all that slaughtering was about back then though) lol.I am coming back to the heart of worship Jesus and it’s always been about you.
As I continue on my path, please continue to keep me. For the most part, I don’t know what I am doing but I intend to stay true to the ‘knowing’ in my heart.
At the end of my time here, let me say “I fought the good fight, I finished the course, I kept the faith.
Yours in service,
Ese Walter.
For the Nigerian Single Ladies: Things you must avoid to find a good Husband
It is true that civilization has taken over most practices and norms in Nigeria today, but certain practices and beliefs are still being held with tenacity, especially by the Nigerian male population, and in order for you as a single lady, born and living in Nigeria, to stand a greater chance of finding a deserving husband, who would treat you like a true Nigerian man treats his wife (i.e with deep respect, love and care), you really need to let go of some modern or will I say, western practices that have stopped so many Nigerian single ladies from getting married or ending up in a happy marriage.
Nigerian-single-ladies
And what are those things?
1. Don’t Buy A Big Car!
Yes, you heard me so well- don’t buy a big car! Nigerian men don’t want to know if you worked hard to acquire the car or not, they believe by default that every single lady pushing or driving a flashy or luxury car sleeps around or messed around with so many rich men to acquire the car.
If you are working in a big company and getting a fat pay, they will believe that you slept with top managers and decision makers in the company to secure the job and to have attained such a high position. And if you are in the entertainment industry, oh hell…yours is the worst because they already see what some unworthy ladies in the entertainment industry are doing, so you dare not convince them that you are different, and in fact, they won’t even give you a chance because before they even approach you, their mission is always to- sleep with you and go because you are not good to be kept or because you are not a wife material.
We all know that this isn’t true, but before you have a chance to explain yourself, the men have already judged and sentenced you to a life inprosonment without any chance of justice, so avoid buying luxury cars if possible, unless you want to remain single, or you want to be a single mother or end up marrying the wrong guy who is most times after your material possessions, or don’t you know that men now dig for gold too?
luxury-car
2. Avoid Living Alone!
Same way, Nigerian men believe that any single lady living alone in the city is up to something, usually, she is believed to be a runz girl. So I would advise you stay put in your family house and if at all your family aren’t living in the city where you base, you better find a relative or something similar to avoid being pre-judged.
single-lady-living-alone
3. Don’t Dress Too Flashy or Indecent!
Yeah, our Nigerian brothers won’t tell you, but hey, they are scared by a lady who is always on the hottie looks. It is good to dress cool and hot, but tune down a bit to avoid sending the wrong signal, remember, this is Nigeria and not America or Europe, so their African mentality is still much in them no matter the level of education, exposure or enlightenment, Nigerian men generally believe that a woman is supposed to be reserved, and not wild like cat.
Remember, you will definitely get more than enough admirers wishing to smash you, wishing to have their own share of the national cake in between your legs, but most of them won’t dare take you to their mama except you get them trapped, and even if you do, that means you are in for an unhappy marital life forever or ready to divorce.
Dress modest, look cute, dress sexy, but please tune down on those hot legs, hot ass, hot boobs dress…they may be ruining your chances of meeting that Mr. Right.
single-ladies
4. Love God But Don’t Be A Church Fanatics!
Every Nigerian man’s dream wife is a God fearing, humble, submissive and respectful wife, but hey, don’t be a Church fanatics if you don’t want to scare potential suitors away by sending the wrong signal- DESPERATE, SEARCHING FOR HUSBAND!
You know, our Nigerian brothers believe that after messing around with so many men during their youthful ages and playing and turning down on guys, Nigerian ladies usually run to CHURCH to find husband by pretending to be born again and holy-holy sister, and this now scare so many Nigerian guys because they don’t believe in: OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY, BEHOLD, EVERYTHING IS NEW! In fact, they prefer your past more than your present, lol.
5. Avoid Feminist Utterances or Characters!
You will see them hailing ladies who stand up for their female rights, but hey sister, don’t be deceived, Nigerian men hate that word- feminist! So avoid sending out signals that shows that you are a feminist.
My husband must join me in cooking at the kitchen! You better shut it if you want them to come chasing you with a ring…but if you want it the other way, keep singing it like chorus and watch out.
In summary, google the word- feminist or feminism and research more, and then avoid characters and attitudes that makes you appear like one, if you want to get married soon.
My Wife is Adulterous and Lazy
Thirty-year-old Okechukwu Chikezie who resides at Agege wants the court to dissolve the union between him and Chiamaka his wife of six years on the grounds of infidelity and negligence of marital duties. According to him, he has been enduring the situation for over three years and cannot cope anymore.
“For over three years now I have noticed the terrible change in my wife. She has suddenly become so lazy and rude and will deny me s*x at will.
Anytime I want to make love to her, she would tell me she is tired and does not have any strength to do anything. This has been going on for over two years now. This behaviour of hers led me to start monitoring her.
She would leave the house claiming to go on night shift because she is a nurse and on calling her office, I will discover she is not even on duty. I see all kinds of text messages on her phones and each time I confront her with it, she would deny after quickly deleting the messages.
This has been going on for long and I cannot stand it anymore. It is better for her to leave my life alone before I die young. All I want this court to do for me is to dissolve this marriage and grant me the custody of our two children aged four and two,” he said. However, Chiamaka refuted all the claims made by her husband saying that she performs all her wifely duties as expected.
She insists that her husband is just looking for excuses to do away with her so that he could marry another woman like his family members have been pressuring him to do because of the issue of a male child. “I have never lied to him that I am on duty when I am not. He knows the nature of my job and he also knows that he is free to come and look for me anytime he wants to. He is just lying to have his way here. I have never denied him sex unless I am sick.
I am a Christian and I strongly believe in the sacredness of marriage and will not want the marriage dissolved. He is just looking for an avenue to marry another woman because I have not been able to have a male child for him.
I am still interested in the marriage and will not want it dissolved” Chiamaka said. After listening to both parties, the president of the court advised them to be patient and resolve the matter amicably while adjourning the case to the September 17, 2013 for further hearing 
Senator’s Son Arrested For Armed Robbery In Abuja

He disclosed that the said Igbo boy brought two laptops robbed at gun point to him, which he sold to buyers in the popular GSM Village, Abuja.
He also alleged that the said Igbo boy robbed a man at Life Camp and shot him sometimes in May this year.

Landlord’s Son Killed For Separating Fighting Couple
The Beninois arrested for allegedly killing his landlord’s son, one Kofi Kojovi (35), has admitted that he pushed the deceased, Bashiru Oseni, when he came to broker peace between him and his wife while they were fighting, but denied ever hitting him with the wooden handle of a hoe as claimed by people.
Oseni died in the morning of Thursday, August 8, at Gbokan village in Ipapo, Itesiwaju Local Government area of Oyo State while separating Kojovi and his wife, Sadia. He was said to have given up the ghost before he could be taken to any hospital for medical treatment, as blood was coming out of his mouth. The fighting couple has four children between them.
It was learnt that the incident was reported at Otu police station by the deceased’s father, Muraina Adekunle, who is also the Baale of the village. Crime Reports further gathered that Oseni was the only son of his late mother who happened to be one of the wives of the village head.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Olabisi-Okuwobi Ilobanafor, confirmed the story, saying that after preliminary investigation at Otu Police Station, the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, for further investigations.
Kojovi was reported to have alleged his wife of having affairs with men in the village, especially labourers who work on her farm. He was said to have descended on the wife on the fateful day, beating her, until Oseni tried to separate the suspect from his wife. Crime Reports further learnt that Kojovi had just returned from his country, Republic of Benin, few weeks before the incident, after spending about three months there.
During an interview, Sadia denied her husband’s allegation, saying that the men being pointed at by her husband were farm hands who were no strangers to him. She added that Kojovi was aware of the fact that she was indebted to some of the men who were yet to collect their wages.
A source told Crime Reports that the villagers did not speak well of the suspect as he was described as a heavy drinker and a lazy man, in contrast to the wife who was said to be very hardworking.
It was learnt that the suspect was charged to Magistrates’ Court Seven, Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Wednesday, August 21 on a one-count charge of murder. The magistrate was said to have ordered that Kojovi be remanded in prison custody while the case was adjourned to October 30.

Wife paid N80,000 to assassinate husband's second wife
Did a housewife hire an assassin to kill her rival? or did the family night guard try to assassinate his master’s wife? These are the knotty questions the police in Ibadan, Oyo State, are attempting to answer after a suspected hired assassin, Ikechukwu Christopher, was arrested.
The suspect was said to be on his way from Enugu to Ibadan to carry out the planned assassination when he ran into the police.
A locally-made single barrel gun and a woman’s photograph found on him gave him away. He was taken into custody.
Ikechukwu named one Adenola Adeniyi, a former timber contractor, based in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, as the person he was carrying out the assassination for.
The police went after Adeniyi who, in turn, named one Arowolo Lateef as the person who gave out the assassination job. The assassin was paid a fee of N80,000.
COZA Pastor,Fatoyinbo’s reply to Ese Walters S8x scandal
It was an atmosphere of artificial crowd and artificial shouting in COZA, as the man in the eye of the storm, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo mounted the pulpit during Sunday service to REACT to what you all have been reading about him in the social media.
And here is what Pastor Biodun said:
“I’m sure you read somethings about me in the social network. I’ve been receiving calls from different people even big people in government… They have been advising me; ‘don’t talk, we understand’.
Read my lips: Because I know that there are people here that are not part of us:
We are going to speak but we are consulting. We’ll come out with a robust reply…..but for now…we ask God he said ‘don’t talk’…. My destiny is not in anybody’s hands…
He also said something like people are trying to bring him down because he is building a new church, saying: “Brethren, no one will see our new church building site and not want to bring us down.”
I’m kind of sad that Pastor Biodun could not BOLDLY deny this s*x story. What is really going on?
Will you do This for a N1 million?

This Ese Walters story is true. I was introduced to the church in Abuja by my childhood friend, who moved to Abuja from Calabar two years before I did. When I joined, she was also a PCU worker. I really felt welcome in the church up until my friend started having problems with other women. She told me it was because Pastor Biodun trusted her with so many official things even above workers that were there before her. I believed her until the day she had an misunderstanding with another worker who called her ‘Ashewo Mary Magdalene’ in the church. After that, her enthusiasm for church started waning while mine was getting stronger till the day she told me she was leaving the church and shortly after she left. By that time, Pastor Biodun had developed an interest in counseling me and then started telling me to take my friends place as a PCU worker. I was reluctant because I didnt feel like coming to church early and leaving late but Pastor Biodun assured me that his personal driver will pick me and drop me off and so I agreed. I started work as arranged but after a while, I noticed that the pastor did not respect personal space when talking to me when we were alone.
He would stand soooooo close and rub my upper arms or my back which made me very uncomfortable. The final straw was when he said I should go with him to Lagos to take notes and transfer same online immediately for some Pentacostal thing he was attending and he knew I was very computer literate. I was excited till we reached Lagos and I realized that only one room was booked at the Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi. Of course I complaint and the Pastor called the front desk ( or pretended to) to demand for another room. He said they would call back when the room was ready. He then told me to help massage his back becos he has back ache from sitting on the flight. I said I was tired since it was already after 8. He then insisted I lay down on the bed to rest while waiting. I said I preferred to sit at the desk and he laughed saying that I was acting like a small girl or a village uneducated girl. He then went in to take a shower. I then called the front desk to remind then about the extra room. I wasn’t surprised when I was told that they had vacant rooms and that nobody had requested for an extra room. By this time, I knew what was up and was ready for the fool. I opened his pouch and saw his wallet which had his lisence. Took a picture of the wallet and the Lisence on the pillow on the bed with my head in the shot. I opened the door and took several pictures of myself, the wallet and the Lisence with the room number. Came back in, once I heard the shower stop, I started audio recording on my BB. He came out with a towel around his waist and started telling me how attracted he was to me.
He said many deregatory things about his wife, calling her a postcard…pretty on the outside but flat and empty upstairs. He said sex with her was like having sex with a cold dead fish…he tried to kiss me and I stood up, picked up my travelling bag, moved to the door, opened it and quickly took a picture of him, standing with a towel around him. He started begging. I called him all sorts of names and insisted he give me money for a separate room or I would scream ‘rape’. To cut a long story short, he asked me to shut the door, I refused, he brought out 2 bundles of N1000 and asked me to delete before he gives me the money. I told him he was in no position to negotiate. Got the money, left the Randy goat with a deflated erection and checked into another room. First thing the next morning, I left for ABJ. By the way, remember my childhood friend that introduced me toCOZA? I narrated my experience to her and she confessed that she was sleeping with Biodun for over a year, even on his marital bed when his wife travelled. Oga Pastor, try and deny my story publicly and see American wonder….I still have the pictures and our conversation on tape. Thank God for technology!!!!!! Franca E
I Think My New Boyfriend Drugged and R*ped Me In The Night
This story was sent to us via our email by a reader, she asked us to share in a bid to solicit for help.
she met a guy, they became friends. Two weeks later she decided to go spend a night in his house. See what transpired.
"I'm so worried about this. I spent a night at a guy's house and the following morning I felt really funny all over, especially in my private area like someone who has been p*netr*ted.
"He's someone I met two weeks ago and was planning to date but told him I wasn't ready for s*x yet.
I've been having this uneasy feeling since the morning I left his house that he took advantage of me during the night without my knowledge.
"I keep having these images in my head. I know he gave me a lot of alcohol the previous night and he told me later he carried me to bed, though I woke up in the same clothes.
I asked him if anything happened between us that night and he said no, but I'm still not convinced."
I cant stop thinking about that night, what if he lied to me? what if he did it without any protection? what should i do?

Ese Walter: My affair with Pastor Biodun Fatoyimbo of COZA Church
Keep an open mind as you read this because this is just one side of the story. A lady named Ese Walter (pictured above) is accusing a pastor with the Common Wealth Of Zion Assembly of manipulating her sexually/spiritually. I’m hoping to get the pastor’s side of the story later…that’s if he’s willing to talk. Read Ese’s story, which she shared on her blog, below…
This article contains stories that most ‘church people’ don’t want to address. So, if you are one of those living in denial and covering up crap going on in the church, this is where you should stop reading. Thanks for stopping by.
Now, for the rest of us, please sit down and switch on your open mind. I want to talk about something I have kept bottled up inside for longer than necessary. I have also decided to use real names, as my defense for any accusation of slander is justification. I tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. However, feel free to throw your doubt around but know that I am past the shaming game (where victims of abuse are shot down by blame) I am no longer a victim but a survivor who is sharing her experience to help others caught in same web of abuse, guilt and shame. We only get to live once right? So here, it goes…
I recently came to know this event too was abuse (recently here means about 6 months ago). It has literally been eating me up having to drive by another billboard advertising preachers, or hearing his name, or even trying to ask about the validity of the entire salvation story and whether or not there is a God that t
ruly watches over his people. That being said, I’m just going to say it as it is. This is a recap of my affair with Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA (Common Wealth Of Zion Assembly) Abuja chapter. This affair I have come to know as a form of abuse as you would see the different elements of abuse very present.
I met Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo many years ago. I was getting bored of the church I was attending and someone suggested COZA. At the time, I had never heard about it. My friend said, go there, I’m sure you would enjoy the word. But he also gave me a strong warning. He said he would advice that I remain a member only and not join the workforce. I agreed. The first time I attended COZA, I felt it was my church and decided I was going to plant my ass there. About eleven months had gone by and I was still attending the services quietly and faithfully. I really did like the church. One day a worker in the church approached me that the senior pastor wanted to see me.
Me? I thought. Why would the senior pastor want to see me? Not the second man but the head nigga in charge? Ok na! I started to think my sin was oozing so bad the pastor could tell I needed Jesus. (Poor old me.) I saw him at the end of the second service (they had two services at the time) and he said to me that he would like me to work with him. I knew I had no intentions of becoming a pastor so I had to ask in what capacity. He said he’d like for me to join a department, preferably the Pastoral Care Unit (PCU).
A few weeks later, against my friend’s advice not to join the workforce, I was a PCU member. All of a sudden, I had some status in church. I was ‘somebody.’ Dress had to be on point, hair, shoes and what not… As workers, we were literally trying to outshine each other or so it seemed. Anyways, I felt like I was a privileged member of an elite circle. Hehehe. (It did feel good though, for the most part.)
About a year after joining the workforce, I was on my way to London for a Masters degree program that would last two years. As was the rule for workers travelling, I wrote to say I would be away for 2 years and Pastor Biodun Fotoyinbo asked that I keep in touch by sending him my number and email when I had settled in London so he “makes sure I continue in the faith” because according to him, people loose their faith when they leave home and he wanted to make sure I didn’t. So, on that note, as soon as I got a phone line in London, I was sure to call ‘my pastor’ to say I arrived safe, had settled in and also gave my phone number.
We had spoken a few times especially when COZA started to stream online. I always watched and would give feedback on quality of production and share a little bit on the challenges I faced settling in a new land. One evening, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo called me that he was coming to London and needed me to help him make some hotel bookings as the person who was meant to do it couldn’t get it done (this was rather strange as I had never been involved in his travel itinerary) Later that day, he said it had been sorted and my help would not be required but that he would like me to arrange a cab to pick him up from Heathrow. I was happy to help my pastor from Nigeria and even saw it as a privilege. (I would later come to learn that all of this was a calculated attempt to hatch a plan that I suspect was set in motion when I was asked to join the workforce.)
The cab guy was there to get him the next day and when he arrived, he called to ask why I didn’t accompany the cab to pick him up (again, this was strange but I stopped my mind from overanalyzing the situation as I knew I had no business with his visit to London) About two hours later, he called me and said he would like to see me. When I arrived his hotel, I called from the reception but he asked that I come upstairs. I got to the room and tried to stop my mind from thinking why I was going to his room. As he opened the door and invited me in, I had to speak to my heart to stop its palpitations. My better judgment asked me not to go into the room but the kind of reverence I had for Pasotr Biodun Fatoyinbo bordered on fear and I steeped into that room.
“Care for a drink?” Asked Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
“No sir,” I said.
“You don’t have to be shy Ese, even if it’s alcohol, feel free and order what you want.” I wasn’t sure I heard my pastor asking me to order alcohol. I imagined it was a test and ignored the voice inside that was saying, “I’d have henny and coke please.” He proceeded to ask how I had been coping in London and if I was a committed member of any church. He also said he thought there was something special about me and wanted to know that I had not strayed from my faith. I really thought he had heard I was doing something I shouldn’t while in London but tried my best to focus on the conversation instead of my straying thoughts. He kept telling me to relax and feel comfortable with talking to him. After a few minutes, he asked that we go to the roof of the hotel as his room was a pent suite and had a connecting door to the roof.
While there, he sat on a reclining chair and asked me to come sit on his laps. This was a bit awkward for me and I froze for a moment as I asked why. He said he had told me to feel free with him and loosen up. I found myself strolling to sit on his laps. At that moment, I felt like a little girl who was experiencing something her mind couldn’t fathom. He asked me to kiss him and all I could think about was seeing him preach on the pulpit back in COZA Abuja, Nigeria, which was my home church. He again said ‘feel free Ese.’ And asked again, that I kiss him.
A few hours later, let’s just say, we were rolling under the sheets. It felt as though my mind had paused. I am not saying I was jazzed, (although it’s possible I was in some trancelike state and didn’t know it but I just was so afraid that I couldn’t say or think otherwise.) That was the beginning of this affair. A sexual affair that went on for a little over a week, DAILY!
I can hear somebody’s mind thinking, ‘well, you weren’t raped.” And I remember a pastor I opened up to when I couldn’t take all the mind games asking if I seduced him. No, I didn’t seduce him and no, I wasn’t raped but I felt trapped in this affair. Come to think of it, how could I have seduced him when I wanted nothing from him? I mean, I was too busy minding my business in London trying to get through with my masters program and I was overly comfortable. And even if I wanted to seduce anyone, it wouldn’t be a married man, not to mention a married pastor.
What I couldn’t reconcile the whole time, was how the same person who preached against the very things we were doing (i.e drinking in pubs, fornicating, committing adultery) was the same person endorsing and encouraging it.
At some point, I got really confused about what Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and I were doing that I had to ask how he handles it. I will never forget what he said to me. He said and I quote, “I will teach you a level of grace that you don’t understand.” My mind couldn’t fathom that somehow grace was enough covering for not just fornication on my path, adultery on his path and the many lies that was bound to follow what we were doing that was clearly abominable. I somehow dealt with the thoughts and fears that followed on my path. He had said to me that he wanted me to be his girlfriend and he would take me around the world and spoil me with money and things. Somehow, money had never been one of the things that motivated me (I am from a home where all my needs have been adequately met) In all my ‘badness’ through finding myself, I never did things I did for money but more of rebellion against rules and authority.
Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo also said to me that he had a dream where I exposed what was happening to the media. Said it was all over the place and that people were calling me the girl that caused chaos in COZA. He also said I should remember the bible said to “touch not God’s anointed.” I immediately started to rebuke the devil and said I could never do anything like that. I was almost swearing with my entire family as I thought really I had touched God’s anointed by submitting my body to be used. Little did I know at the time that all of these were ways to mess with my mind and even manipulate my thoughts.
Fast-forward a few months later, I was back in Nigeria and my church had become uncomfortable. Anytime I sat in church and listened to Pastor Biodun preach, I felt shame. I finally sent him a message saying I wasn’t comfortable anymore. I was confused and needed to talk about what had happened. He said I should meet him to talk and I did. It was a really weird meeting for me especially when he tried to kiss me at our meeting. I finally realized at this point that he couldn’t help me. I thought God was angry with me and I couldn’t pray so I decided to withdraw completely from COZA. This was the beginning of my mental torture. I couldn’t talk to my family because already, I was the only one attending a different church and somehow my mom never liked the idea. As the days went by I tried to use drinking and smoking to cover up the deep shame and guilt I was battling with. But as soon as the high was over, the thoughts came back and I felt stuck like I couldn’t move forward.
I felt I had to talk to someone and I decided to speak to my then good friend, Ernest Akale but unfortunately for me, Mr. Ernest did not have the capacity to hold what I said to him. He broke down completely the days that followed and I found myself having to pause how I was feeling and what I was struggling with to help my friend be strong. After a while, he withdrew from not just me but his then fiancé and friends. I had to then tell the fiancé what had caused it (she suspected we were having an affair so I had to clear the air) To my surprise she was a lot stronger than her man and told me to suck it up (I’m paraphrasing). She said if she were me, she wouldn’t leave the church but stay to torment Pastor Biodun and collect money from him. Ok! That sounded extreme for me, as my intention was not to blackmail but to heal my broken self. Anyways, I finally found the courage to speak to my then unit head who said he was going to talk to Pastor Biodun but didn’t have the liver to do so. Before long, the story was spreading and naturally getting twisted.
I went to a new church and it seemed like the COZA bug had chased me there. The pastor would always refer to COZA as some example and each time that was done, it seemed like a spear was thrust through my chest. One day, I broke down in the service and started crying uncontrollably, as I couldn’t take another mention of COZA and the pictures it painted in my head.
Very long, boring story cut short, for the last 5 months I gave the whole church thing a big space and break. I wasn’t sure I believed in God. I wasn’t sure I understood what it meant when people said ‘Jesus saves” and I definitely wasn’t sure how to deal with the mental torture that was affecting not just me but my relationships with family and friends. I was very unstable, fearful and worst of all guilty. I got a chance to talk to Pastor Folarin of COZA Lagos Chapter, popularly called Pastor flo about everything. I made an effort to reach out to him because I realized the right thing to do was talk to an elder in the church and seek some sort of remedy to a wrong I believed had been done me.
Instead, Pastor Flo said, Pastor Biodun had confessed to him and they had ‘talked’ about it and somehow that was supposed to be Ok. He asked what it was I wanted coming to talk to him about it when I did, I told him I realized what happened between Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and I was wrong and not just that I felt abused and manipulated. I also said I thought it was wrong for Pastor Biodun to go on preaching without taking time to deal with his personal character flaws. I said I thought he was danger to all the young women that attended the church. Come to think of it, maybe he meant if I wanted something monetary or material (as someone had suggested when I opened up to her) but the truth is, I never wanted his money (or is it the church member’s money.) All I wanted was to meet with him and have him accept that he misled me, betrayed his wife and the church he pastors. I wasn’t the only lady in COZA who had been a victim of his sexcapades and manipulative patterns but I was the one who could come back after months of struggle with not just my faith but also my affair with him. And I wanted to set things right. I wanted to talk to Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo maybe for closure and I felt like I needed an apology because he played the “touch not my anointed” card to keep me locked in guilt, shame and fear when all along it was a calculated plan and I dare say, it started when he asked me to join the workforce.
Not to mention the audacity to talk about teaching me a level of grace I didn’t understand. I had no intention of understanding a grace that would permit me to go on doing things that were wrong and what’s worse having to carry the burden for almost a year.
Different surprising advises came up in the weeks that followed the rumour making rounds. I was told to hush because Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo had been a cultist in the past and could send people to shut me up. All my so-called friends in COZA withdrew from me and treated me like I had the plague. What was worse was Pastor Flo finally saw my then pastor to ‘talk’ about what had happened with Pastor Biodun and lied that it happened once and was a mistake. My question then became, ‘do these people even care how broken I had become?’ ’do they care about the emotional and spiritual welfare of the people they were pastoring?’ The sad answer was NO. Most of us old members of COZA kept leaving but they couldn’t care less. What was important was to keep growing the church and having more and more cars with stickers that read “More than enough.” Back then, I always felt horrible when I saw another car drive past me with the sticker. I was breaking, I was struggling but no one could help. All they could do was ask me to hide so Pastor Biodun’s goons don’t hurt me. And then the interesting one was if I had evidence to prove my claim. Let me just say here that, it isn’t a claim, it’s a confession to free me from all of the guilt and shame I have had to live with for no reason at all. (That being said, I have evidence to prove all I have said here, the latest being a 58 minutes recording of my meeting with Pastor Flo a few months back)
This is my confession and I cannot begin to describe how much weight has been lifted off of my shoulders just pouring the truth out about what went down. So, to all my ex COZA friends gossiping about me, get your facts right. To those who said they’d help me deal with the pain but didn’t, I forgive you, I have learnt how to deal with it and I am doing just fine. To those who fear for my safety saying Pastor Biodun would send people to shut me up, I really have gone past fearing for my life. To live is gain and to die is Christ (or how does Paul say it again?) And to the only person who ever supported me through it all, thank you, I am learning to be brave. Please don’t think I am perfect in all of this but in line with living my authentic life and putting all forms of abuse behind me, this is where I press the stop button and stop the bleeding. This is where I break the silence and call the church to stand up for what it has been commissioned to do. If you will not enter the Kingdom, please don’t stop others who are trying to enter.
I still remember when I used to nurse the idea of digging up emails, text messages, hotel billings (as once I used my card to pay for his room when his master card failed to work) to prove there was an affair. It was pathetic. Why for the love of heaven was I trying to dig up evidence? I am satisfied setting the record straight. I am ready for any shaming or bashing that would follow because the truth is, because of what I have suffered and come through, I am really not moved by what people say or think about me anymore. I am a stronger woman and a damn abuse survivor seeking to connect with other victims of abuse to show them how to deal with the shame, hurt and guilt and how to come out stronger. Turning their mess into their message.
I am Ese Walter and I have gone through all forms of abuse from family, boyfriends, my ex pastor and some strangers not to break me, but so I stand and so I qualify to help victims. My scars have qualified me and when all is said and done, I will still be standing. I AM WOMAN, I BEND, I DON’T BREAK!
Cheers to the freaking weekend!!!

3-Month-Old Indian Baby May Suffer From Spontaneous Human Combustion
A 3-month-old Indian baby has burst into flames at least four times without any obvious external cause, leading doctors to investigate the possibility that the infant suffers from spontaneous human combustion.
After being forced to leave their village because their neighbors feared fire from the child would burn their homes, the baby’s parents moved to a nearby village and then again, with the help of government authorities, to Chennai for treatment at a hospital.
Medical opinion about spontaneous human combustion is divided, to say the least, though there have been some prominent recent cases. In 2011, an Irish coroner said spontaneous human combustion was the cause of death for a 76-year-old, and Brian J. Ford, a British research biologist, wrote a 2012 article in The New Scientist about the disorder.
“There have been a few cases where people have suffered S.H.C. and have swatted the flames out, leading to their complete recovery,” said Mr. Ford in an e-mail to the New York Times. “In most examples it is fatal, as the cases are found after the event. Typically, there is just a pile of ash with protruding extremities.”
The New York Times also spoke to Dr. Narayan Babu, the head of pediatrics at Kilpauk Medical Hospital, where the baby is being treated, earlier this week.
“We are in a dilemma and haven’t come to any conclusion,” Dr. Narayan Babu said. “The parents have held that the child burned instantaneously without any provocation. We are carrying out numerous tests. We are not saying it is SHC until all investigations are complete.”
The Times of India reported Wednesday that those investigations are now complete, and that no evidence was found supporting the theory of SHC.
Doctors at Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital (KMCH) conducted all possible tests, including a chromosome test, gene analysis and skin biopsy, to figure out if Rahul could actually ‘catch fire’ on his own.
The doctors had even invited a team from Sastra University to check if the boy’s skin emitted inflammable gases, but were left with no evidence of spontaneous human combustion. The only possibilities that remain are that the baby was burnt in an accident or was abused.
“I still stand by what I said, that there is no such thing as spontaneous human combustion. The possibility of child abuse exists and needs to be explored ,” said Dr J Jagan Mohan, head of the burns department at KMCH.
The baby’s parents have denied allegations that the injuries could have come from abuse.
“We’re not crazy to burn our own baby,” Karnan Perumal, the baby’s father, told the New York Times. “Some people don’t believe us, and I am scared to return to my village and am hoping for some government protection. There is also the fear that our child could burn once again.”
THIS TRUE STORY WILL MAKE YOU CRY
Reports: Nigeria spends over N1trn in war against terrorism
The Federal Government may have spent well over N1 trillion in the fight against the Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in the country since 2009, BusinessDay checks have revealed.
The latest report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), based in Sweden, shows that in 2012, Nigeria ranked sixth highest spender on military in Africa, and this is because of the increase in insurgency cross the country.
The war against terror in Nigeria raised military expenditure to a staggering $2.327 billion (N372.3bn) in 2012 alone, ranking Nigeria among countries at war in Africa, according to the report by SIPRI.
The report released recently shows that the country’s military spending is the sixth highest in Africa, competing with the expenditure of countries like Libya ($2.9bn), Morocco ($3.4bn), Angola ($4.1bn), South Africa ($4.4bn), and Algeria ($9.3bn).
Countries with relatively lower expenditure among the top 10 spenders on military in Africa include Cote d’Ivoire ($407m), Namibia ($407m), Tunisia ($709m), Kenya ($798m), and South Sudan ($964m).
Nigeria’s budget on defence has consistently been on the increase since 2009, when the Boko Haram insurgency began in Borno State, North East of the country.
In 2009, the budget allocation to defence was N233 billion, in 2010 it was N264 billion, 2011- N348 billion, in 2012 budget for security was N921.91 billion, and N348.91 billion in 2013.
Despite the official budgets, funds are said to have been mobilised from other sources for the same purpose.
Following the state of emergency declared by the Federal Government in May on three states of the North-Eastern Nigeria, Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, the security votes to the governors of the affected states were seized as part of funds to combat the insurgency.
Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) monetary policy committee had recently warned that military operations against Islamic insurgents in the North could pose liquidity risks for the economy.
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, governor, CBN, and chairman of the committee, had projected that the emergency rule declared in the three North-Eastern states might spur increased spending by government, with its attendant liquidity risks in the economy.
“The recent military action in the North-East will result in additional spending,” Sanusi said.
Shortly before the state of emergency declaration, President Goodluck Jonathan had set up a committee to look at the possibility of granting amnesty to the militants.
While the committee was consulting with the different insurgent groups, the insurgents’ attacks became deadlier, forcing government to approve their proscription and authorised the gazzetting of an order declaring the groups’ activities illegal and acts of terrorism.
Lagos state government rescues 25 children from alleged trafficker
The Lagos State Government has rescued 25 children from an alleged child trafficker in the Egbeda area of the state, according to a story by Punch
The suspected trafficker, Mrs. Rosemary Nwachukwu (pictured right), was also arrested and has been handed over to the Alausa Police Division, while the children are currently in government’s custody.
The government accused Nwachukwu of operating an illegal orphanage named, Saint Stephen Charity Foundation, on Abiodun Adebanbo Street, Egbeda.
It was gathered that officials from the Office of Youth and Social Department, led by the Director, Child Development, Mrs. Alaba Fadairo, in conjunction with personnel from the Office of Public Defender and policemen, stormed the orphanage on Saturday.
The government said findings showed that the suspect was using the orphanage as a front for another illegal business.
The Director, OPD, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, said of the children, whose ages ranged from three months to 12 years, were victims of human trafficking.
Rotimi said, “It was discovered upon investigation that Nwachukwu trafficked 27 children and kept them in a room. We were able to rescue three infants of ages three to six months and 22 other children. Efforts are still on to locate the remaining two.”
The OPD director added that the suspect used the victims for financial gains by putting them up for adoption. She said the suspect would be charged to court after investigations had been concluded.
However, Fadairo, said, “Investigation also shows that there are no records of each child and no evidence of how the children got to her orphanage. No police or security report.”

28yr Old Man Shot By Drunken Policeman Loses Eye
When Nonso Ozoemena, a 28-year-old man, arrived in Lagos, his plan was to set up a business so that he would be able to support his widowed mother and his seven siblings in Anambra State.
Soon after, he was able to open a restaurant in Trade Fair Complex, FESTAC, and it seemed his dream was coming true.
His expectation was however eroded after a drunken police corporal, Mohammed Abubakar, shot him in the eye.
Ozoemena said he was shot in the eye in the FESTAC area on August 5, 2013.
Narrating what transpired on the fateful day, he said, “I had just returned from work and I was about entering my house at Amuwo Odofin when I heard the policeman arguing with someone in the next house. The policeman then called his colleagues for help.
“When his colleagues arrived, they persuaded him to leave the place because he was drunk. After much pleading, the policeman left. A few minutes later, the policeman returned with a gun and started shooting sporadically.
“One of the bullets hit me in the right eye. A barber, Bright John, was killed.”
PUNCH Metro learnt that during the shooting, a pregnant woman was hit while another man, Tayo Ajasa, was also shot in the thigh.
It was learnt that the policeman, who is attached to a security company in the area, fled the scene after realising the havoc he had wreaked.
Ozoemena and the other victims were later taken to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba.
It was learnt that while other victims were treated and discharged, Ozoemena, was taken to the Accident and Emergency Unit of the hospital, where the eye was operated.
The company was also said to have contributed N146, 000 to pay the medical bill.
The victim, who had been discharged, told PUNCH Metro that he had not been able to go to work since the incident occurred.
He said he had been in constant pains and had found it difficult to sleep.
Our correspondent observed that pus was coming from Ozoemena eye. But the victim said the pus was the least of his problems.
He said, “I am in so much pain. The unfortunate thing is that I have not been able to tell my mother about the incident because I don’t want her to worry.
“I don’t have perfect vision anymore. In fact, a few days ago, I was knocked down by a vehicle coming from the right side while I was attempting to cross the road.”
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Umar Manko, had declared the policeman wanted.
Manko said the wanted policeman was attached to Police Mobile Force 17, Akure, Ondo State, and wondered what he was doing in Lagos.
However, Ozoemena’s lawyer, Mr. George Nwahajioke, said the police must compensate his client. The lawyer said declaring the policeman wanted was not enough, adding that the victim’s expectations had been eroded by the loss of his eye.
Nwahajioke, who lamented the increase in police brutality, said, “Nigerians are living in fear of arrogant culture of impunity within the Nigeria Police. Nonso Ozoemena is just one of the few lucky Nigerians to survive as our police, who are supposed to protect us, now turn the barrel of their guns at us.
“We are demanding N100m as compensation from the police and the company jointly and severally to help our client get the urgent medical attention he needs.”
All efforts to contact the company proved abortive as an email sent to it was not replied, while a text message sent to it was not responded to.
Trending Revenge: Jilted Boyfriends Upload Girlfriends’ Unclad Videos On Internet
This trend, called revenge p****graphy, has taken over major social sites on the internet in recent times, investigation has revealed.
The leaked photographs and videos are uploaded on sites like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and many P0*n sites.
Revenge p****graphy can be described as the deliberate sharing of er*tic photographs and videos from previous relationships majorly to humiliate a former partner.
Findings further reveal that these explicit pictures and videos are often posted by couples after a break-up.
However, in some cases, some of the partners may have been commissioned by blogs and P0*n sites for the photographs and videos of s*xual actions.
Investigation by our correspondent showed that in Nigeria, just like many parts of the world, women are often the victims of revenge p****graphy. This is confirmed by the over 30 videos seen by our correspondent.
Leaked s*x videos and photographs of Nigerians can easily be found on some websites.
Some amateur websites have reportedly been set up solely for videos and pictures considered revenge P0*n. Some websites too even ask for such videos from the public for a handsome reward.
Analysts say revenge p****graphy is urgently becoming a genre of p****graphy on the internet attracting several viewers because the videos are leaked and debasing and the victims could easily be identified. Moreover, some of the victims do not even know they are being recorded.
While in some cases, the women may not know that they are being recorded by their partners, in other cases, the women are seen showing so much trust in their men recording such s*xual sessions believing the videos would be kept secret.
One of the over 30 of such recorded videos currently on the internet, has the unclad lady, reportedly a student of a Nigerian university, shyly asking his male partner, whose face is blanked out, why he was recording the session.
The male partner, on the other hand, is heard telling the lady that they would watch the video after the love-making session before deleting it.
In another video published on a website, a young Nigerian lady is seen on top of the man in a lovemaking session inside a corporate office with Wande Coal’s Taboo playing at the background. They are recorded with their faces clearly seen by a third partner whose female voice sang along with the music.
Yet in another video currently on many internet sites, a mature woman is seen doing a blowjob for the man who hides his face.
The man soon tells her: “get up! It is time for the real show.”
He, however, informs her that they would both watch the recording before deleting it. Then the woman sits astride the man who continues to record the “show”. There is the recent case of Miss UNIZIK, whose unclad photographs are everywhere on the internet. According to the report, the student was said to have had issues with her boyfriend who posted the photographs.
Currently, some non-governmental organisations are beginning to sensitise women against allowing their unclad photographs to be taken by men at any point in time.

CONTROVERSY : Pastor Bans Members From Wearing Weaves
A controversial pastor in Texas, U.S.A, is banning members from wearing weaves! Taking the whole "Come As You Are" concept a little bit far as he's attempting to ban weaves from his church.
During an interview with newsmen, pastor A.J. Aamir of Resurrecting Faith in Waco, Texas told his staffers that weaves present a false image of one's self and are associated with women who have low self-esteem.
He went on to issue a decree to the women of his congregation, asking them to not wear weaves. Why? He told the website, “Our black women are getting weaves trying to be something and someone they are not.
Be real with yourself is all I’m saying." “Long hair don’t care. What kind of mess is that? I don’t want my members so focused on what’s on their heads and not in their heads.
I lead a church where our members are struggling financially. I mean really struggling.
Yet, a 26 year old mother in my church has a $300 weave on her head. No, i wont be quiet about this.” He concluded angrily.
I don’t know what came over me-Driver who raped 15 year-old girl
Olusegun Ajayi,a driver,has been arrested by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps for allegedly raping a 15-year-old housemaid in Arepo, Ogun State.
The NSCDC authorities said the suspect had canal knowledge of the girl which caused her to bleed for two days.
Ajayi, however, told PUNCH Metro that his act was not rape since the victim consented. The suspect, who claimed to be a devout Christian, said he did not know the victim prior to the incident.
He said, “On Saturday night, I was returning from a party and was about to enter my house when I saw the girl sitting outside. I asked her what she was doing outside late at night but she said she was working in a house not far away from my workplace and was sent to buy sweets by her employer.
“She said she was locked outside and that she had been knocking for hours but no one came to open the door for her. I then told her to follow me to an uncompleted building on the street. On getting to the building, we saw a mattress there which had been left behind by labourers. I asked her if she could sleep alone there but she said no.
“So, I went back to my house to get a wrapper and a pillow. Although my wife was not at home, my mother-in-law was around. So, I left her with my children and told her I would not be coming back that night.”
Ajayi, who claimed to be a father of three, said on returning to where the victim was, he laid beside her and began to caress her.
He said the victim did not resist his attempt but requested for money before she would allow him to sleep with her.
“I don’t know what came over me but I found myself touching her and she did not resist. Rather, she said I should pay her N10, 000 for sex and I promised to give it to her the following day. However, a few minutes into the sex, she started bleeding profusely which scared me,” he said.
The indigene of Lagos State said he went back home to get drugs as well as toiletries which he would use to stop the bleeding.
He said when it was daybreak, he set out for work but was summoned back home after which the employees of the victim accused him of rape.
“I was on my way to Iporni in Lagos when my wife called me that people were asking of me at home. When I returned home, residents just started beating me before handing me over to the civil defence,” he said.
In a desperate plea to the civil defence authorities, the suspect said he did not know that the victim was a minor. He added that his predicament was the handiwork of the devil.
“I have three children, including a daughter. I would never have touched that girl if I knew she was 15. I am a devout Christian and I am a responsible man. The devil preyed on my weakness and I promise never to do such again,” he said.
A source at the NSCDC, who craved anonymity, said the victim was taken to hospital and that the bleeding had stopped.
She however added that investigations were ongoing and that medical report would determine what happened.
“We believe that the victim was not only raped but the suspect must have done something to her because she lost so much blood. Once the medical report is out, we will know the next line of action,” she said.
Charley Boy’s Daughter & All Single Girls Should Read This
Gone are the days when men were actually man-of-the-house. In recent times, woman are bringing all sorts of crap to the home-front, in the name of equality. With the way things are going, we observed that very soon, some ladies will be asking for equal rights in the kitchen before marriage. That is, they might be talking of sharing cooking and other shores with the men. *laughs*
The craze of civilization? Read the current experience of four single sisters below:
”I have like 4 female cousins. On top of their game, education and career wise. Beautiful as they come and thy are definitely wifey material. The problem with all of them? Manless or they get used and dumped.
The reason why? My older sis is married to a man from a very wealthy well known and respected Naija family. Her hubby is the complete package, I swear. He loves his wife, hardly ever goes out. Is a very good and involved father to his 2kids. He is so romantic and respectful.
Now my other sisters and those female cousins are using Mr Perfect [their older sister's husband] as measuring stick to get married.
God forgive me but I have said to myself several times: They will either all die as spinsters or end up playing seconds to someone else’s husband.
What is naija babes obsession with pedigree males? It is so annoying. My boyfriend is a regular 9 to 5 guy who went to St Finbars and travels occasionally. He loves and treats me right… but oh no! my sisters and cousins look down on him because he has the H factor. Bunch of weirdos.”
