A 22-year-old man simply identified as Sarafa Ayuba, has committed suicide beside his uncle’s house at Amuloko area of Ona Ara Local Government part of Oyo State on Friday, September 25.

An uncle of the deceased, Kazeem Tijani, recounted how Ayuba was declared missing and his body was recovered.

“Ayuba got the motorcycle on hire purchase basis and he was paying the instalments adequately. He was my brother’s son.

He was not indebted to anyone and he was not starving at all. He was not married. He has been living with me for the past two to three years. He was working with me before he got Okada.” he said

Mr. Oluwatosin James, who is the Chairman of the Association of Commercial Bike Riders in Amuloko area, said they are shocked that Ayuba could take his own life.

“The news of Ayuba’s death came to us as a rude shock. It is this morning that we heard of the news at the Park. He was very reticent and would not fight anybody.

Once he did his okada business in the morning, he would go and park and go to his uncle’s shop to assist him. Out of N390,000 that he got the Okada on instalment basis, Ayuba has almost paid up the money, because the money remains just N77,000 to balance the payment.

There was no issue of threat to him from the person who gave him the okada. In fact, the person is like a brother to him. So, we are confused over this sad incident” James said

Similarly, another tragedy struck in Bashua community, Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State as a man allegedly killed his wife and then committed suicide over her alleged infidelity.

According to Martmercy Busaosowo, the man, said to hail from neighbouring Akwa Ibom State murdered his wife in the early hours of Monday, September 28, after he heard that she had been sleeping around with other men.

His body was later found dangling from a tree in the bush by members of the community. The names of the couple are yet to be disclosed.

A French primary school teacher, who spent £35,000 covering his body in tattoos was forced to stop teaching at a kindergarten because he gives children nightmares.

Mr. Sylvain Helaine was teaching at the Docteur Morere Elementary School in Palaiseau, a suburb of Paris, last year when the parents of a three-year-old complained to the school authorities about his appearance. 

His body, face, and tongue are covered in tattoos, and the whites of his eyes were surgically turned black. 

Mr. Helaine, who is considered to be France’s most tattooed said he was teaching when the parents said their son was scared after seeing him last year. 

Months later, he said the school authorities informed him that he would no longer teach kindergarten children after the complaint.

‘I think the decision they took was quite sad,’ said Helaine. ‘All of my students and their parents were always cool with me because basically they knew me,’ he added. 

‘It’s only when people see me from far away that they can assume the worst.’

A spokesman for the local education authority said an agreement was reached with Helaine to move him away from teaching kindergarten. 

Pupils under six ‘could be frightened by his appearance’, the spokesman said. 

Despite the setback he faced, Helaine said he would stick with his career as an English teacher. ‘I’m a primary school teacher… I love my job.’ 

The 35-year-old who now teaches children from the age of six up also said that pupils can see past his appearance after the initial shock.

He said: ‘All of my students and their parents were always cool with me because basically, they knew me’.

 ‘It’s only when people see me from far away that they can assume the worst.’ 

He added he hoped to show his pupils they should accept people who are different from the norm. ‘Maybe when they are adults they will be less racist and less homophobic and more open-minded,’ he said.

Helaine, who has spent £35,000 on his body transformation, started getting tattoos at the age of 27 while teaching at a private school in London.

A family’s pet dog mauled a newborn baby to death while his mother was in the toilet and his father was in the garden with another child, a coroner heard.

Elon Jase Ellis-Joynes was 12 days old when his family’s Chow Chow-cross is believed to have bitten him on September 13, 2020.

The child, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, was still alive when mum Abigail Ellis frantically called for an ambulance, but died at the hospital.

Doncaster Coroner’s Court heard Elon was “bleeding from his leg or his stomach”.

Police are currently investigating his death and senior coroner Nicola Mundy adjourned the inquest until a later date.

Coroner’s officer David Copley said: “At 3.04pm on Sunday, September 13, a call was made to South Yorkshire Ambulance by Abigail Ellis.

“She stated that her son, Elon, was breathing, but was really poorly.

“He was bleeding from his leg or his tummy, she thought that one of the dogs had bitten Elon.

“She had been on the toilet and her partner Stephen was outside with another child and came running in.

“Officers attended and Stephen Joynes identified Elon to police officers.”

A police spokesperson said the baby had suffered serious injuries after being attacked by a dog.

They said the pet, called Teddy, was removed from the address and will remain in secure kennels until the force’s inquiries have been completed.

Mary Trump, US President Donald Trump’s niece who recently wrote a book revealing unsavoury details about her uncle, has filed a lawsuit accusing the President and his siblings of committing fraud in order to deprive her of her interests in the family real-estate empire built by Fred Trump Sr, Trump’s father .

In the Thursday September 24 lawsuit, filed in New York state court against the President, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry and the estate of their late brother Robert Trump, Mary states that to the Trumps, “fraud was not just the family business—it was a way of life.”

She accuses her two uncles and her aunt, a retired federal judge, of conspiring amongst themselves and with several other parties, including a trustee appointed to act on Mary’s behalf, to give her “a stack of fraudulent valuations” and force her to sign a settlement agreement that “fleeced her of tens of millions of dollars or more.”

“Rather than protect Mary’s interests, they designed and carried out a complex scheme to siphon funds away from her interests, conceal their grift, and deceive her about the true value of what she had inherited,” the lawsuit says.

In her new book,”Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.”, she alleged she was cut out of her grandfather’s will as a result of her father’s death, with the now late Robert Trump allegedly explaining to her that she was excluded because her father died of alcoholism, and wasn’t around to inherit a share of the fortune. 

In the lawsuit Mary also accused Donald Trump of trying to “steal vast sums of money from his siblings” by secretly trying to change his ailing father’s will to write his siblings out of control of the family’s fortune.

Mary Trump was 16 years old when her father died in 1981 from alcoholism, and she and her brother, Fred Trump III, inherited minority interests in his really estate.

Due to the fact she was a teenager, the lawsuit says, a lawyer named Irwin Durben, who had been Trump Sr.’s attorney and an executive at Trump-related entities, was appointed to act as a trustee on her behalf.

But according to the lawsuit, Durben, who died in 2016, was “irredeemably conflicted,” siding with Mary’s family members over her own interests, “and ultimately acquiesced in Defendants’ campaign to squeeze her out of the family business entirely.”

By the 1990s, with Trump Sr. suffering from Alzheimer’s, Mary Trump’s lawsuit alleges, his sons Donald and Robert and his daughter Maryanne at first competed with each other, “with palace intrigue reminiscent of the HBO series Succession,” but then worked together to advance their interests to the detriment of others.

In 1991, Donald secretly approached Durben, according to the lawsuit, to get him to draft a codicil to give Donald complete control of his father’s estate, the lawsuit says. After his father rejected the codicil, Maryanne “finished the job,” securing a revised will that named her, Donald and Robert the executors of their father’s estate.

Mary Trump has previously sued the Trump family, but they reached a settlement including a non-disclosure agreement that Robert Trump, who died in August, tried and failed to enforce before her book was published.

In addition to alleging the elder Trumps committed fraud, Mary Trump’s lawsuit accuses them of breaching their fiduciary duty and committing negligent misrepresentation.

“Through each of these schemes,” the lawsuit says, “Defendants not only deliberately defrauded Mary out of what was rightfully hers, they also kept her in the dark about it—until now.”

A politician in Argentina has gone viral online after he was caught sucking a woman’s breasts during a virtual congressional session with his fellow lawmakers on Thursday September 24. 

Juan Emilio Ameri, who represents the northern province of Salta, was seen by his colleagues and members of the public committing the lewd act as they carried out a special meeting about the country’s budget via Zoom.

In the footage, the father of three can be seen sitting down in front of a webcam with a woman on his lap. As another politician addresses his colleagues, Mr Ameri then puts his face to the woman’s chest, before pulling down her top to kiss her breast. Watch the video here.

Ameri was suspended immediately for committing the lewd act which was seen by his fellow MPs and the viewers at home.

Following his suspension, Mr. Ameri said the woman was his partner and that he thought at the time he was not connected to the meeting.

“I’m very ashamed, [I feel] very bad,” Mr Ameri said, according to the Buenos Aires Times. “Here, throughout the interior of the country, the [internet] connection is very bad.”

Mr. Ameri also explained that he gave his partner “a kiss” because 10 days ago she underwent breast implant surgery.

A man has been convicted after he put semen in a colleague’s water bottle and honey jar.

Stevens Millancastro, 30, carried out the vile acts after his co-worker rejected his advances after he asked her out on a date, a court heard.

The California man also put semen on the woman’s workspace, as well as in a bottle of honey she used for her tea.

Millancastro was convicted on assault and battery charges on Monday, September 21.

The colleague had filed a complaint against him to the HR department. She also asked her boss to tell Millancastro to stop staring at her, according to prosecutors.

However, when he did not stop, she filed the complaint.

Upon arriving to work, the woman found a “cloudy substance” in her water bottles on several occasions.

Her boss then agreed to place a surveillance camera facing her desk, and when she arrived one morning to find a “milky white substance” on her keyboard the footage was checked.

According to Mercury News the footage showed Millancastro had waited until the woman left before smearing his semen from a tissue on to her keyboard.

His semen was also found in the water bottles and jar of honey, say investigators.

The woman’s testimony stated that Millancastro made her feel “very, very uncomfortable.”

She said she was “disgusted” to find the bodily fluid on her personal property.

The crimes occurred in La Palma, California, between November 2016 and January 2017.

A sentencing is due to take place on October 6. Millancastro could face up to two years and six months in prison, and he will be required to register as a sex offender as he committed the crimes for sexual purposes according to the judge.

A mother was allegedly gang-raped by armed robbers in front of her husband and children at the family’s home in India.

The attack was reportedly carried out by four men in a village in the state of Punjab during a robbery attack.

A police complaint said the men scaled the walls of the home before taking the family onto the rooftop of the building, where the group allegedly raped the mother in front of her helpless husband and children before they robbed the home.

They then left with gold ornaments belonging to the family and 20,000 rupees (around £212) in cash, Dawn.com reported.

The woman’s husband claimed when he first reported the attack to the local police, they initially registered the case against two suspects and insisted on leaving the allegation of gang-rape out of the report.

According to him, they later agreed to investigate the rape following public outcry.

A spokesperson for the police has denied that officers failed to record the allegations and said they were included in the initial written complaint. He also said that an investigation had been launched and a senior local officer in charge of the case.

The attack is the latest in a string of incidents that have sparked protests in India in recent years.

Last week, a tour guide was allegedly raped by five men and a woman at a five-star hotel in Delhi.

In August, the body of a 13-year-old girl was found dumped near a sugarcane field in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The girl had reportedly been raped and strangled.

Senior Opposition Congress Party member Jitin Prasada called the attack “inhumane” and said it put “humanity to shame”.
 

“In this episode, the police must initiate such a strong action that it becomes a deterrent for criminals,” he said.

A former traffic cop who now leads a sect in Siberia, claiming he is Jesus Christ, has been detained.

Russian special forces in the early hours of today, September 22, staged a special operation to detain him, Daily Mail reports.

Sergei Torop – known as Vissarion – and his closest aide Vadim Redkin, a former rock musician, were reportedly detained and flown away under armed guard.  

Torop, 59, is a former Red Army conscript and traffic policeman who claimed he was reborn in 1990 as the literal reincarnation of the son of God.  

Russian agents carried out a large military-style operation with four helicopters and dozens of heavily armed troops storming the remote compound called Sun City. 

The operation appeared to involve the Russian National Guard, a force under the command of Vladimir Putin, but also involved the FSB security service. 

The Russian Investigative Committee said the sect was being probed for using “psychological violence” causing some followers “serious harm to their health.”

Sergey Torop and two other sect leaders Vadim Redkin and Vladimir Vedernikov were detained in the raid, said a statement.

They are also being investigated on suspicion of “causing grievous bodily harm to two or more persons.”

Footage showed masked special forces with combat machine guns at the group’s territory in remote Kuraginsky district of Krasnoyarsk region in Siberia.

The group – who are banned from smoking and alcohol – has been in Siberia for years and it is unclear why the Russian authorities acted now in an early morning raid.

Torop claims to have 5,000 followers of whom several hundred live in wooden huts in the remote “Sun City” camp at Petropavlovka, some 2,600 miles east of Moscow.

One estimate said there were 90 families at the site raided today by the authorities. Other followers of the “messiah” live in villages nearby.

He heads what is known as the Church of the Last Testament, and he has written a ten volume “sequel to the Bible”.

Three years ago the cult leader told the BBC: “We have a school of noble maidens here.

“We’re preparing girls to become future wives, future brides for worthy men.

“She has to understand not to rise above the man, not to be proud of her independence but to be shy, inconspicuous and weak.”

Torop is reported to have two wives with six children, having at one stage married a 19-year-old who had lived with him since the age of seven.

He lives in a comfortable chalet while his followers reside in wooden huts in one of Russia’s coldest regions with temperatures sinking to minus 50C in winter.

Torop had an awakening after he was fired as a night shift traffic cop in the Siberian town of Minusinsk, he has claimed.

God had sent him to Earth to teach mankind about the evils of war and the havoc we were wreaking on the environment, he claimed.

The cult leader abolished Christmas, replacing it with the anniversary of the date of his own first sermon, August 18.

He claims that Mary, mother of Jesus, is his own mother. Official records show his biological mother was called Nadyezhda.

He has followers in Germany and several other European countries.
