News On Obesere Rape Scandal: "They Are Trying To Destroy Case!"

Olanike Olaiya, businesswoman of 29 years old, who was supposably raped by a popular musician, Alhaji Abass Akande, famous as Obesere, has contacted the police and asked not to allow this case to be dismissed in order to keep her safe and stay alive.
She stressed that the fact that Obesere had inserted his ring in her private area, which lead to bleeding and severe pain, should be connected with ritual activities. Olaiya added that she has not been impressed with how the police is handling the case. She even accused one of the Investigating Police Officers of the SCID, State Criminal Investigation Department, for frustrating further investigations in favour of Obesere.
In her comments to Vanguard, the victim, Olaiya, she claimed that the theory of them being lovers is a lie. Moreover, according to her, she was not aiming to use false rape charges to claim money from him. Olaiya said that she was offered the money as soon as the incident happened, and she refused to take it for several times already.
Olaiya told her story of how the incident happened. According to her, they knew each other for two weeks on business matters and she was invited to his house by a mutual friend, to discuss business only. Olaiya was kept waiting in Obesere’s house for 5 hours until it became late in the evening. Obesere refused to let her go and convinced her to stay over in the house claiming that the neighborhood they were at was very dangerous for a girl to walk at night.  Olaiya stayed in another room and that night, according to her, she was raped by him and he had inserted a ring in her private part. She said that she felt like it was her fault she got raped, because no girl should have stayed to spend the night at someone else’s house.

Nigerian Government Seeks Secret Trial Of 3 Boko Haram Suspects

The Federal Government on Monday asked an Abuja Federal High Court to conduct “secret trial” for the three men charged with alleged links with the Boko Haram insurgents.
A Chief State Counsel, Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, Jones Nebo, who made the application, said it became necessary to protect the identity of its witnesses.
Three accused persons, Mohammed Yunus, Musa Umar, and Salami Abdullahi were arraigned on an eight-count charge bordering on terrorism.
They were arrested and detained in October 2013, for allegedly holding various meetings aimed at carrying out insurgency across the country.
Ms. Nebo also said that the prosecution’s motion was brought pursuant to Sections 33 and 34 of the Terrorism Prevention Act 2013, as amended, and Section 115 of the Evidence Act.
She argued that the application complied Sections 36 and 203 of the Criminal Procedure Act which supported the non-disclosure of identities and names of witnesses.
Hassan Liman, James Ocholi, and Abdul Mohammed, counsel to the first, second and third accused respectively, opposed the application. They urged the court to dismiss the application, contending that it lacked merit.
Mr. Ocholi said “this application is in conflict with Section 36 (4) of the 1999 Constitution, which pertains to fundamental rights and fair hearing.
“Fundamental rights, public hearing and fair hearing cannot be separated. “It is easier for a person to tell a lie in secret than in public as there will be nobody to correct them in secret, and also where there is no publicity, there is no justice.’’
The judge, Gabriel Kolawole, adjourned the case to March 18 for ruling.

Khloe Kardashian Hooking Up With The Game to Make Me Jealous - Lamar Odom

Rumors were flying about a possible hook-up between Khloe Kardashian and rapper The Game when Khloe posted a pic of them together last month. Now, Lamar Odom is suspicious of Khloe's motives.
According to Us Weekly, Lamar does not appreciate Khloe and The Game spending time together, and he thinks Khloe is just doing this to hurt him.
"[Lamar] says she’s hooking up with The Game as revenge," says an insider. In other words, it's safe to say that Lamar got an eyeful of that pic of Khloe and The Game and was not pleased.
Lamar has signed with a Spanish basketball team, but apparently he's hopeful that he can still patch things up with Khloe when he gets back to the U.S. "He is in Spain for two months, and he thinks by the time he gets back to L.A., they could get back together," adds the insider.
In Khloe's defense, her friends have refuted rumors that she would ever hook up with The Game. And the rapper himself has said that they're just friends but that he has hooked up with Khloe's sis, Kim Kardashian

Jay Z Turns Down Kanye West Best Man Offer Due To Kardashian Cameras

Jay z has rejected Kanye west's plea to be his best man at his upcoming wedding to reality star Kim Kardashian due to not wanting Beyonce and daughter blue Ivy shown on the Kardashian show.
As the nuptials will be on Tv, Beyonce isn't happy about it according to sources so Jay will not participate so as not to cause a family problem.
A source explained: "Jay is Kanye's closest friend so he wants him to be best man.
Jay agreed initially but had one condition - under no circumstances can there be any reality TV shows filming him, his wife, Beyoncé or daughter Blue Ivy during the ceremony.
The thought of popping up in KUWTK mortifies Beyoncé. She purposefully keeps herself away from trashy TV and isn't prepared to lower her standards for anyone, or any occasion.
Bosses at E! are desperate to get the nuptials on air, and will pay millions to make it happen."
It’s previously been mentioned that the TV deal is already in the works especially because E! will pay for the wedding! So, what’s more important: getting the best man you want or making millions of dollars? Hopefully this will be Yeezy's one and only wedding, so it's a tough decision.

Even in a country where untold oil wealth disappears into the pockets of the elite, the oil corruption scheme he was investigating seemed outsize — and he threatened to lay it bare at a meeting with Nigeria’s top bankers.
The rabble-rouser was none other than the governor of the country’s central bank. Weeks later, however, he was out, fired by Nigeria’s president in an episode that has shaken the Nigerian economy, filled newspapers and airwaves here, and even inspired a rare street demonstration.
The bankers were going to have to open their books, the governor, Lamido Sanusi, warned them at the recent meeting. He wanted to see where the money was going — $20 billion from oil sales that, mysteriously, was not making its way to the treasury, in a country that could soon be declared Africa’s biggest economy and already attracts the most direct foreign investment on the continent, according to the United Nations.

Pope Francis’ Reforms For The Catholic Church

pope
As Pope Francis approaches the one-year mark of his papacy, his global flock and a fascinated public are starting to measure the changes he is making against the sky-high hopes for transforming an institution many thought impervious to change.
Every personnel move and every new proposal is being scrutinized for what it might indicate about the direction of the church, what it might augur about possible adjustments to church teaching and whether the aspirations of so many will be fulfilled — or frustrated.
But as important as such structural and policy moves can be, church leaders and Vatican insiders say the 77-year-old Francis is really focused on a more ambitious (and perhaps more difficult) goal: overhauling and upending the institutional culture of Catholicism.
Francis, they say, is bent on converting the church, as it were, so that the faith is positioned to flourish in the future no matter who follows him to the throne of St. Peter.

Vietnam can't find object from missing jet

Vietnamese searchers on ships worked throughout the night but could not find a rectangle object spotted on Sunday afternoon that was thought to be one of the doors of a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet that went missing more than two days ago.

Doan Huu Gia, the chief of Vietnam's search and rescue co-ordination centre, said on Monday that four planes and seven ships from Vietnam were searching for the object but nothing had been found.

The Boeing 777 went missing early on Saturday morning on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

The plane lost contact with ground controllers somewhere between Malaysia and Vietnam, and searchers in a low-flying plane spotted an object that appeared to be one of the plane's doors, the state-run Thanh Nien newspaper said, citing the deputy chief of staff of Vietnam's army, Lieutenant General Vo Van Tuan.

The jetliner apparently fell from the sky at cruising altitude in fine weather, and the pilots were either unable or had no time to send a distress signal, adding to the mystery over the final minutes of the flight.
