British man tried to kill Donald Trump at Las Vegas rally

Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday and is interrupted by a disturbance that police say involved a British man attempting to grab a security officer’s gun, with the intention of firing at the presumptive Republican nominee. Michael Steven Sandford was arrested at the event.

Michael Steven Sandford, 20, did not enter a plea when he appeared before a judge in Nevada and was remanded in custody until a hearing on 5 July.

He is charged with an act of violence “on restricted grounds”.

He had reportedly tried to seize the gun after saying he was seeking Mr Trump’s autograph at Saturday’s rally.

He said he had been planning to try and shoot Mr Trump for about a year but had decided to act now because he finally felt confident enough to do so, court papers say.

After his wild antics on Big Brother UK, Marco Pierre White Jr confirms split from fiancée

21-yr-old controversial former Big Brother contestant, Marco Pierre White Jnr, has split from fiancee Kim Melville-Smith after cheating on her with model Laura Carter, on the Reality TV Show.

Speaking in an Interview, Marco admitted the pair had parted ways following a 'misunderstanding' about the definition of what the 'hall pass' meant while he was on the reality show. 

                                

He said, 'The arrangement we had I was given a hall pass for BB. I was given a free pass to do anything I wanted. Maybe I did push it to far. I'm in contact with her now. We'll see how it goes. Just be friends for the moment. I don't regret anything to do with Laura. I feel guilty. I feel bad. I think Kim's a great person. I knew she was watching but I don't regret what I did.

Man rapes, impregnates 15-year-old daughter in Lagos,mother arrested for aborting it...

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a man, Ike Iwuanyanwu, for allegedly raping and impregnating his 15-year-old daughter, Priscilla (pseudonym) at Ajao Estate, in the Isolo area of the state.
He was arrested on Wednesday after the matter was reported at the Ajao Estate Police Division.
It was learnt that the victim had been taken into custody by the Lagos State Government.
According to PUNCH Metro ,Iwuanyanwu had also allegedly beaten his daughter and wife, warning them not to disclose the incident to anyone.
It was learnt that Priscilla’s mother, however, informed her family members on Wednesday, who went to the girl’s school to confirm the story from her.

The case was thereafter reported to the state Ministry of Youth and Social Development, which informed the police.
A neighbour of the Iwuanyanwus, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the victim was the first child of the family, adding that the father had allegedly confessed to the crime.
She said, “The man is a driver and the girl is his first child. None of us knew anything about the incident until he was arrested. The only thing we saw was that the man beat up his wife and daughter late in the night on Tuesday.
“The girl was pregnant and the father tried to hide it. It was her school that informed the Lagos State Government.
“The girl confessed that it was her father who raped and impregnated her. The Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development alerted the police and the man was arrested.
“The suspect did not deny that he impregnated the girl. He knew the government was involved and he had no hiding place. We learnt he told the police that his wife did not allow him to have sex with her and he yielded to the temptation of raping his daughter.
“The girl’s mother told her family members, who then went to her school. They did not know the school authorities would get the ministry involved. The matter was also reported to some child rights workers in the Oshodi area.”
Our correspondent learnt that Priscilla’s mother allegedly took the 15-year-old to a place where the pregnancy was aborted.
The pregnancy was said to have been aborted before she was rescued and taken into custody by government officials.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the police arrested Priscilla’s mother on Thursday for involvement in the alleged abortion.

The Coordinator, Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, Lagos State, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, said the victim was safe in government’s custody.
She said, “Social workers have rescued the victim. She is now at an orphanage provided by the state government. We have also called for the duplicate case file. The girl’s mother was arrested for allegedly aborting the pregnancy. The police may grant her bail on the grounds that she has a four-year-old boy.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, adding that investigation was ongoing.
She said, “The man raped and impregnated his daughter, while the mother also procured abortion for her. The Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has ordered that the case be transferred to the gender unit of the command for investigation. The girl is placed in a shelter because we cannot afford to see her go back to that vicinity.”

How A Church Tortured Two Children For Being Witches

Two children accused of being witches have been rescued by Basic Rights Counsel Initiative, a Calabar-based child’s rights organisation.

The rights group had come to Ikot-Abasi-Effiom community in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State to screen a movie when they were notified about the boys.

According to Punch Newspapers, the children (ten and seven years old) were about to be lynched by members of a church when the group rescued them.

According to a source in the community, Sunday Nta, the children were condemned as witches after a female family member accused them of attacking her in the dream and snatching her unborn child.

                            

The children were ostracized from the community but were later taken by a church, led by a prophet, to the bush for torture.

An uncle of the two boys thereafter made contacts on how to rescue the children.

“The kids were stigmatised as soon as they were branded as witches. But the situation took a new dimension on Friday when the children were taken to the forest and tied to a tree.”

“They were battered and assaulted by some members of the family, leaving them with cuts and bruises all over their bodies.”

“Respite came the way of the children when an uncle, who arrived from town, demanded the release of the children with threats of calling the police and on learning of BRCI’s visit, took the children to the venue where, coincidentally, a movie was being screened.”

Secretary of the rights group said that the tortured children have been taken to a health center for treatment.

“The rescued children have been taken to the Community Health Centre and we have paid the bills for them to be given proper medical attention.”

“We also ensured that the uncle who rescued them temporarily keep the children in his custody.”

Poverty Forced Me Into Selling Bread – Rashidi Yekini’s Mother Speaks On How NFF Abandoned Her

In a recent interview published by Punch, the 80-year-old Alhaja Sikiratu Yekini, mother of late Super Eagles striker, Rashidi Yekini, has finally opened up on her financial status and what has been happening since the death of her son.

When asked how life has been treating her since the death of her son, Yekini’s mother revealed some interesting and shocking details many will find very surprising.

She said:-

“I have been managing. It has not been easy at all. Since he died, I have not had substantial support. I have been surviving on the rent I collect from the house Rashidi built for me as well as the proceeds from my petty trade. As you can see here, I sell bread, biscuits and some other household cooking materials. I use the rent to do some little repairs on the house and also to find at least a meal a day or more depending on what the day brings.”

Asked about the houses which he collects rent and the allegation by Yekini’s lawyer that she collects about N500,000 from rent yearly, she said:

“We have five flats in this house. I use one flat, my surviving son, Akeem, and his family use one flat while I rented out the remaining three flats. This is almost a remote area. It is not like Abuja, Lagos or even Ilorin where you can collect substantial amount for rent. The tenants were paying N30,000 per annum but I just increased it to N45,000 per annum this year. That means that prior to this year, I was collecting only N90,000 per annum from the three flats.

                                     
“The lawyer is not being truthful. He is maligning me, and stopping people from assisting me through his statements. Since my son died, if people have given money to the lawyer for me, he has not given me. It is only now, due to media publicity, that people started helping me.”

Speaking about how she has been helped so far by well meaning Nigerians, she revealed that some well meaning Nigerians have come to her aid since news broke about her poor living condition.

She said:- “During Rashidi’s one year memorial anniversary, Osun and Oyo states’ governments gave money to his wives and children. Osun State gave his wives N2m and Oyo gave N2m as well. The Kwara State Government made a promise but it has not been fulfilled. Some people recently started helping me. There is a group from Abuja that opened a bank account for me. Some money has been paid in for me. Also, Yinka Ayefele recently sent a delegation to me.

“He read about my ordeal in the papers and he was touched and sent people to ask me what my needs were. I told them. Also, Chief Donatus Agu-Ejidike was touched after learning of my story. He came here and gave me N100,000. Some weeks ago, the wife of the Kwara State Governor, Mrs. Omolewa Ahmed, sent a delegation and they gave me clothes, food, beverages and some cash. I am grateful to them. May God reward them but I still need more.”

However, she revealed that the Nigerian Football Federation totally abandoned her and her family. She disclosed that she has not received a kobo from them. In her words: “They [NFF] have not done anything. If government or people have been giving Yekini’s lawyer (Jibril Olanrewaju) in Ibadan, things to give me, he has not been sending them to me. I am not aware that NFF has given any money to the family since my son died.”

The woman revealed that it was poverty that pushed her into selling bread and biscuit.
