Meghan Markle Just Received A Coat Of Arms

Just days after Meghan Markle‘s royal wedding to Prince Harry, the newly minted Duchess of Sussex has received a very special gift: a coat of arms.

The traditional design, customized with colors and symbols, is typically given to the father of the bride just ahead of a royal wedding, but amid the drama surrounding Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, in the lead-up to the royal wedding, the decision has been made to give the coat of arms directly to Meghan herself, which is a total break in royal tradition.

It’s also a break in tradition not to have the bride’s family name represented in the design. Kate Middleton‘s coat of arms not only reflected the Middleton family, but also her mother Carole’s maiden name.

“A Coat of Arms has been created for The Duchess of Sussex. The design of the Arms was agreed and approved by Her Majesty The Queen and Mr. Thomas Woodcock (Garter King of Arms and Senior Herald in England), who is based at the College of Arms in London,” the palace said in a statement Friday.


Meghan worked closely with the College of Arms to create a design that was both personal and representative. The blue background of the shield represents the Pacific Ocean off the California coast, while two golden rays across the shield are symbolic of the sunshine of Meghan’s hometown of Los Angeles.

The three quills represent communication and the power of words, a possible reflection of Meghan’s outspoken activism and her former lifestyle blog, The Tig.

Beneath the shield on the grass is a collection of golden poppies, California’s state flower, and wintersweet, which grows at Kensington Palace — right outside Meghan and Harry’s cozy Nottingham cottage.

Both the California Poppy and the wintersweet were also incorporated into Meghan’s wedding veil (along with embroidered flowers from each of the 53 counties in the Commonwealth).

It is also customary for Supporters of the shield to be assigned to members of the royal family, and for wives of members of the royal family to have one of their husband’s Supporters and one relating to themselves. The Supporter representing Meghan is a songbird with wings elevated as if flying and an open beak, a further representation of the power of communication.

A Coronet has also been assigned to Meghan. It is the Coronet laid down by a Royal Warrant of 1917 for the sons and daughters of the Heir Apparent. It is composed of two crosses patée, four fleurs-de-lys and two strawberry leaves.

Italian Court Summons Parents Over Baby's Controversial Name

Parents of Benito Mussolini, a 14-month old baby, have been summoned to appear in an Italian court over their son’s controversial name, according to a newspaper report.

Young Benito is named after one of his grandfathers, a common enough practise in Italy.
The problem is that the family name is Mussolini, making the child the namesake of the World War II era fascist dictator, no relation.

The unusual name has now come to the attention of a court in the northern city of Genoa, according to the daily Gazzetta di Parma, among concerns for the child’s welfare in later years. For Italians the issue recalls the debate generated by the 2015 film “Il nome del figlio” (“An Italian Name), an Italian adaptation of a French film, in which a man wants to call his son Benito.

The issue also has echoes of a court case in Milan brought against parents who called their child “Blu” (Blue), a name which the local prosecutor took exception to.

Men Docked Over Robbery Of N2m Rolex Watch With Toy Gun In Lagos

The accused are Ayodele Oluwafemi, 36; Imole Otegbeye, 22; Segun Sunday, 24; Rilwan Abdusalam, 22; and Ezekiel Ayodele, 22.

The men, whose addresses were not provided, are facing a three-count charge bordering on robbery and unlawful possession of firearms.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs A. A. Adetunji, who gave the ruling, said the accused should be kept in Kirikiri Prisons pending advice from the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).


She directed that the case file should be duplicated and a copy sent to the DPP.

The prosecution had earlier told the court that the accused committed the offences on May 3 at 10.00 p. m. along Oshodi Airport Road, Lagos.

Mom-To-Be Pens List Of RULES For Guests Including Helping With Housework If They Must See Her Baby

All parents worry about their children, but one mum-to-be has been mocked for enforcing an extremely strict set of rules ahead of her new arrival.

Mumsnet user Frenchwolf86, believed to be from the UK, came under fire after revealing the 13 rules she expects all visitors to follow when they come to meet her newborn baby.

The guidelines include a change of clothes after smoking and even helping out with housework in return for cuddles with the infant.

But the expectant mother has been mocked by other Mumsnet users, who joked that she wouldn't get many visitors if she enforced the rules.

Frenchwolf86 kicked off the discussion by asking fellow mums if she was being unreasonable for asking people to follow the rules.

She wants prospective visitors to be extra clean, which means washing their hands every time they hold the baby and no visiting if they've recently been ill, she explained.

The mum-to-be also stipulated that feeding time is private, the baby needs to sleep only in her crib and she cannot be posted about on social media.

But perhaps the most extreme rule on the list was her request that visitors help with the housework if they come to spend time with the baby.

Other Mumsnet users were left in stitches at her diva-like demands, with many saying that the baby must be her first.

One said: 'Is this for real? I doubt you'll get any visitors at all if you issue that list of rules! Or is that the idea...? Ah, very clever OP. Keep the in-laws away, eh?'

'Haha this has made me smile! I don’t think you’ll have many visitors,' another posted.

A third said: 'This can't be real No one is this ridiculous.'

I’m Ashamed Nigeria Is Now Used As A Negative Example – Ex-President Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan says he is ashamed that Nigeria is now being used as a negative example in the international community.

He cited recent instances when the Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo, mocked the poor state of security in Nigeria and the naira’s weakening status.

Jonathan spoke at the inauguration of the first bridge built by Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, on Friday night.

The former President lamented that things were so bad in the country that Nigeria had lost its respect in Africa.


He said, “He (Ghanaian President) said Ghana is not like Nigeria where cattle roam the streets. At another occasion in the United Kingdom, he made scathing remarks about Nigeria’s currency.

“I feel ashamed as a former President that the president of a neighbouring country used Nigeria as negative examples.

“If a neighbouring African president will use Nigeria to make negative examples, then we as leaders must know certain things are wrong in the country. That means we as leaders must change the way we do things.”

The former President, therefore, urged Nigerian leaders to show serious concern, noting that many things had gone wrong in the country.

Jonathan also advised President Muhammadu Buhari to resist pressure to rig the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti State and subsequent elections in the country.

Khloe Kardashian Excludes Tristan's Name From Anniversary Card Sent To Kim

She's been sharing meaningful quotes on social media amid claims her relationship with cheating Tristan Thompson has hit another rough patch.

And Khloe Kardashian gave another hint that all might not be so well with the NBA player on Friday as she left Tristan's name off a card she sent to sister Kim.

The 33-year-old new mom, who welcomed baby True last month with the Cleveland Cavaliers player, sent some roses to Kim for her anniversary with husband Kanye.

The accompanying card read: 'Happy anniversary Kimye. Love always wins!! Love KoKo and True'.


Kim shared snaps of the beautiful blush hued blooms to her Instagram along with a glimpse of the sweet note.

It came after Khloe appeared to allude to her relationship with Tristan on Thursday as she shared some quotes to Instagram.

Posting to Instagram stories, she wrote: 'Something you've been praying for is about to happen for you. You've had enough lessons. You've been patient long enough.

'You've remained strong through many trials and challenges. Nothing broke you. You’re still here standing strong. Now is the time for you to start receiving.'

The passage sounded like it could be an excerpt from her horoscope, or maybe was meant as motivation.

But while Khloe wrote about being 'patient long enough', it doesn't seem as if she has plans to move on from Tristan, having recently welcomed the love rat back into the Cleveland home she shares with their baby daughter True.

However, it's being claimed that the couple are fighting all the time since Khloe decided to forgive the athlete for cheating on her with multiple women while she was pregnant.

'Khloé and Tristan are fighting constantly. All the time,' a source told Us Weekly.

'She doesn’t know how she’s going to rebuild trust in him. She knows her family and friends aren’t supporting him or her right now.'

According to the insider the Kardashian-Jenner clan is fed up with Tristan's behavior.

Kim, 37, recently revealed that the NBA player had blocked her on social media after she called the situation 'so f**ked up' during an appearance on The Ellen Show.

The source continued to dish that Khloe is sick of hearing it from her family and that Kim has been the most protective one of the bunch.

First Photo Of Harry & Meghan After Their Wedding

Newlyweds Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have this afternoon arrived back at Kensington Palace two days after they tied the knot.

The pair were spotted in a car wearing matching sunglasses driving into the royal residence in west London as they begin their married life together.

The couple were last seen driving to the reception on Saturday in the grounds of Windsor Castle in a Jaguar E-Type.

'I Feel Very, Bad For Kanye West'- Wendy Williams

TV personality Wendy Williams has spoken out about Kanye West's recent bizarre behavior by saying he is 'in the throes' and 'not well'.

In one particularly eventful week at the end of April and beginning of May the rapper made a series of controversial comments on Twitter and in a TMZ interview - including calling slavery a 'choice' and professing his love for Donald Trump.

Wendy responded to the events on her daytime talk show saying: 'Kanye West has really lost his mind'.

She then launched into a longwinded rant about the rapper's 'irresponsible' decisions and his physical appearance, which was criticized by many as being cruel and unnecessary.


This weekend the TV host appeared at a Vulture Festival event called 'Ask Wendy Williams' in which she said she feels 'very, very bad' for Kanye, who she believes is suffering from serious mental health problems.


During the set at the festival by New York Magazine, Las Culturistas hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang asked Wendy to play a game called 'How She Doin', in which she shared her thoughts on popular celebrities including Meghan Markle and Mariah Carey.

When asked about Kanye, Williams got serious, saying the rapper is 'in the throes'.

'I think that mental illness is something that is so real,' she said.

'As long as I'm here and you're listening, I will tell you I feel very, very bad for Kanye West. His father is nowhere in the picture, his mom passed away trying to beautify herself to be a stage mom.

'I'm not going to talk about his wife, his family, or anything like that. But what I will tell you is that he's not well.

'That is the very foundation of everything he says. He's not well. I wish him well.'


She also commented on Kanye's recent statements about being hospitalized due to an opioid addiction in 2016 - a particularly sensitive topic for Wendy, who has struggled with addiction herself.

'The war on drugs is very, very real, and the war on helping people with mental illness is very, very real,' she said.

'People think: "Oh, cocaine, heroin, weed, and stuff." No - people popping those pills, that's affecting millions of Americans.'

Katy Perry Admits Meghan's Wedding Dress Needed 'One More Fitting'

She captivated the world when she exchanged vows with Prince Harry in a stunning yet simple white wedding dress.

But, as it turns out, not everybody was in love with Meghan Markle's Givenchy gown.

Pop star Katy Perry, 33, had a thing or two to say about the outfit, telling Entertainment Tonight she thinks Meghan, 36, needed 'one more fitting.'

'I would have done one more fitting!' Katy advised when asked about her opinion on the dress, giving the camera a mischievous wink.


However, the symbolism seems to have been lost on Katy who also said she preferred the Sarah Burton designed Alexander McQueen dress Kate Middleton wore during her wedding to Prince William in 2011.

'Kate won!' she declared referring to the silk and lace gown that featured a nine-foot long train and concealed hip padding to give the slim brunette a more hourglass physique.

'Kate won! I'm sorry! I'm never not going to tell the truth! One more fitting! But I love you!'

Still, the songstress had nothing but nice things to say about Meghan.

'I don't know much about her,' she said while being interviewed alongside American Idol co-stars Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, 'but what I've seen or heard, whether it's been true or false, everything to me, it sounds amazing, and I'm so happy for them.

'It's amazing what she's doing... her humanitarian efforts, you know, the fact that she's a proud feminist. I love all that. So I support her as another woman and love her and wish them both well.'

Khloe Stands Up To Critics About Her Fitness

Khloe Kardashian has defended herself against critics who say she's been 'focusing too much' on her body.

In a series of videos posted to Snapchat, the new mother expressed her frustration at the feedback she had been receiving about her fitness routine on Twitter.

Khloe, 33, explained that she's always considered exercising to be her 'sanctuary', and prior to her pregnancy, she would workout five or six times a week.

'The beginning parts of working out kind of suck because you're pushing your body so hard, you're so tired, and you're trying to get back into your rhythm.


'It's much more difficult than I think you expect it to be. I've been working out for 11 days now, I feel really good, but tired. My body is sore because it's re-waking itself back up.

'What I'm annoyed about is that I've read a couple of times on Twitter that, you know, they feel that I'm focusing too much on my body, but the truth is, I've worked out five or six days a week before I got pregnant and that's my sanctuary and something I love to do.'

Khloe even said she plans to squeeze in workouts in between feeding her daughter True Thompson.

'So I want to start doing that now and getting into my rhythm and in between feedings I want to find time to work out because that's going to be my new normal.'

'Just because I have a baby, doesn't mean I have to stop doing the things that I love, and I love working out and getting my mind right.'

And it's clear Khloe has been really looking forward to returning back to her fitness routine.
I've been craving these workouts,' she remarked at one point.

While the new mom explained she was 'feeling good' five weeks after giving birth, she insisted there was still some work to be done.

'Five weeks after baby, feeling good. Muscle memory is a real thing, because it's still under there... feeling good. I've got to get rid of this part,' she said as she indicated her backside.

Drake's New Love Revealed???

He unfollowed Rihanna on Instagram after she said they 'no longer have a friendship' in an explosive interview. But it appears as though Drake now has a new muse.

Man Comes From No Where Just To Remove Singer's Wig As She Greets Pals [Photos]

Sinitta was left shocked after a man appeared to rip her wig off her head in London on Thursday as she arrived at The London Cabaret Club in Bloomsbury.

The singer, 54, was greeting pals out on the street when a man walked up and removed the red hairpiece from her head as she bent down to pick the purse she had dropped.

Clearly startled in the video footage, the former girlfriend of Simon Cowell was left speechless as a pal picked up her wig from the ground.

Sinitta was seen emerging from a white vehicle in Bloomsbury and seemed to be in good spirits as she kissed and hugged her friend.


The excited commotion caused her to drop her purse and as she bent down to pick it up, the unknown individual in a light tan jacket approached her.

He then quickly took Sinitta's wig from her head and dropped it to the ground as he rapidly left the scene.

While no one appeared to chase after the man, they all proved to be incredulous.

Sinitta in particular, who was left without her red wig, was seen standing still as she processed the shocking sequence of events.

Sinitta made a quick recovery as she posed away outside The London Cabaret Club in The Bloomsbury Ballroom.

With her red wig firmly in place, the TV star flashed a huge smile as she defiantly continued to party the night away.

Mum Stabs Daughter Up To 70 Times, Smashes Her Head With A Pick Axe Because She Resisted Torture

This is the chilling moment a mum smiled in police custody after allegedly stabbing her 11-year-old daughter up to 70 times in a horror attack.

Taheerah Ahmad, 39, is accused of stabbing the little girl and hitting her over the head with a pickaxe before setting their kitchen on fire.

She then reportedly went on the run with her eight-year-old daughter Hafsa and hid out in a car park for 17 hours, sparking a major manhunt.

She was arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, US, after locals spotted her car.

In a series of disturbing pictures, Ahmad was seen bizarrely smirking for ABC Action News cameras in handcuffs following her arrest.

The 11-year-old, who is not being named at this stage, remained unconscious and in a "very" critical condition in hospital.

Police said the mother was arrested on Tuesday and that she stabbed the youngster an estimated "50 to 70 times."

Ahmad reportedly told officers she had became upset with her children and bound their hands with duct tape

She said the 11-year-old fought back, and she stabbed the girl dozens of times and hit her in the head with a pick axe, according to a police report on the incident.

"The mother had duct-taped their hands, put socks in their mouths and began stabbing the 11-year-old," Tulsa Police officer Jeanne MacKenzie told the local news station.

Investigators say Ahmad's middle child, a nine-year-old girl, was able to escape and go to a relative's home down the street to get help.

But it reportedly took her an hour to get to the property because she was duct-taped.

Relatives told investigators that when they returned to the girl's home, they found her 11-year-old sister with multiple stab wounds.

They also said they discovered the kitchen on fire.

Ahmad was arrested on counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, first-degree arson and abuse of a child.

The 6'10" former NBA star was unmistakable in white trainers, navy three-quarter-length sweatpants and a black tee.

The duo were seen grabbing a bite to eat together before hopping into Lamar's ride and driving off.

Prince Charles To Walk Meghan Down The Aisle Tomorrow

Prince Charles is to walk Meghan Markle own the aisle, the Palace has revealed. The question of who would perform the role was raised after Thomas Markle, the bride's father, pulled out due to a health condition.

Kensington Palace announced: "Ms. Meghan Markle has asked His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of the Quire of St George's Chapel on her Wedding Day.

"The Prince of Wales is pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to The Royal Family in this way."

It was learnt that the Prince of Wales will accompany Ms Markle down just one half of the aisle (the second half) at St George's Chapel - but no one will "give her away".

The Prince of Wales has expressed his excitement about the wedding, "It's absolutely marvellous. It's going to be a very special day for everybody."

It was thought her mother Doria Ragland would walk the bride down the aisle - so this decision may shock some Royal fans.

There was no protocol preventing Ms Markle from choosing her mother, a member of the Royal family, or a close friend from escorting her. She could also walk alone, should she wish. Hugo Vickers, royal biographer, said of Ms Markle’s decision: “It’s her wedding and I think she should be able to do whatever she likes. “It’s meant to be a happy occasion and that’s what it’s all about.”

Boy Tortured Over Allegation Of Being A Wizard

The pitiable sight of a fragile eight-year-old boy, with marks of violence all over his body sent waves down the spines of those present at the Lagos State Police command yesterday.

The visible marks of violence were inflicted on the primary 1 pupil identified as Chinonye Iyonetu, by his aunt, Mrs Charity Iyoneto, over accusation of witchcraft.

The victim as gathered was brought from his home town, in Gbaai, Nkota Local Government Area of Imo state, last year, by the suspect , after his mother abandoned him with his father.

However, his ordeal began on reaching Lagos, as the suspect allegedly beat him at the slightest provocation. But the inhuman treatment came to the fore after a resident who could not bear the sight of the marks of violence on the suspect , contacted the Police.


The suspect according to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Imohimi Edgal, “used horse whip, a.k.a koboko to flog the child, inflicting injuries all over his body, on May 9,2018. She thereafter, locked him in her one room apartment at Animal Kingdom, close to Seme Border, Lagos, with his two hands tied behind his back and left for her shop.

The survivor was crying and shouting for help which made one Peter Aluku to call the Police. When the Police team arrived , they broke the door of the house and rescued the child.”

He is a witch – suspect

When approached, the 45-year-old suspect and mother of two, admitted to have taken the victim from his father whom she said is her younger brother. She alleged that the boy is a witch and had destroyed so many things in his father’s house, adding that the act, made his father to wash off his hands from the suspect’s welfare.

According g to the suspect who runs a restaurant around Seme border,” When I traveled to see my younger brother in the village. I discovered that he has abandoned his son and when I asked why, he told me that his son was a witch and that he was responsible for his downfall. Out of pity, I brought his son to Lagos and enrolled him in a private school.

He started destroying things in my house and even injured his classmates in school. Some of the injuries on his body were sustained in school. At a point, he was chased out of the school. I had to go and enroll him in a government school where same thing continued.

When I asked why he was destroying things, he said something used to propel him to do the wrong things. Each time the strange personality possessed him, he would run away from home and I would be looking for him. When I took him to a white garment church, they confirmed he is a witch and asked me to bring some materials like white clothes to carryout some spiritual cleansing that would remove the witchcraft. “Since I brought him to stay with me, I have been falling sick.

Several times, I would see him in the dream staring at me and making mockery of me. When I woke up, I would see him in that same position. I have asked him why he was tormenting me and he said it was the fault of the forces inside of him. Last Tuesday, he came back from school with all his books torn.

He said he was driven away again. I beat him out of provocation”, the mother of two said. However , when the boy was confronted, he stated that he had never told his aunt that any force within propelled him to destroy things. He said : “I did not break anything at home. She beat me because my slippers cut and she accused me of using razor blade to cut it.”

Vanguard also observed that the boy had a stitch on his head. When asked how he sustained the injury, he replied, ” she( pointing at his aunt) hit me with a bucket. I want to go back to my parents in the village. I don’t want to stay with her again”, he said in tears.

The suspect according to the CP, would be charged to the Special and Sexual Offences court as soon as as investigation was concluded.

Germany Set To Flush Out 30,000 Nigerian Migrants

Germany has proposed a new process that will facilitate the smooth repatriation of over 30,000 illegal Nigerian migrants back to the country.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama said this when he received the Security Adviser to the President of Germany, Dr Jan Hecker, and his team in Abuja.

The new proposal, according to Onyeama, is predicated on perceived failures and slow pace of the current system of repatriation. This, he said, involved both the participation of Nigerian embassies and consulate and the German immigration office.

“They don’t have enough faith and confidence in the process that we have at the moment for the repatriation process.

”Some of the delays they believed are with the mission and consulate in Germany.

Facebook Shuts 583 Million Fake Accounts

Facebook shut down 583 million fake accounts in the first quarter of 2018, the social media giant said as it revealed the huge scale of abuse on the platform.

The site has revealed just how much malicious content was being published and shared on the site for the first time ever.

It comes as Facebook has been criticised for the way the platform has been abused, with accusations it has helped changed the course of elections and enabled criminal behaviour.

It said it had taken down 837 million pieces of spam content between January and March of this year.


The social network said “nearly 100 per cent” of this content was found and removed before it was reported, and was accompanied by the removal of around 583 million fake accounts, most of which were disabled within minutes of being activated.

However, the social network admitted its automated tools were still struggling to pick up hate speech, with only 38 per cent of the more than 2.5 million posts removed having been spotted by the firm’s technology.

Facebook’s vice president of product management, Guy Rosen, said more work IS needed to be done to improve such detection tools.

Meghan's Dad Having Heart Surgery Today, Walking Her Down The Aisle Is Cancelled

Meghan Markle's father won't attend her wedding to Prince Harry in three days' time because he needs to have major heart surgery today, it has been claimed.

Thomas Markle, 73, who lives in Mexico, revealed that doctors will 'go in and clear blockage, repair damage, and put a stent where it is needed' during the operation, which will take place at 3.30pm UK time.

Mr Markle is thought to have previously stayed at General Hospital in Rosarito, the town where he lives, but it is unclear where today's operation will take place.

Free public healthcare is provided in Mexico, as opposed to the US where it is administered by private institutions.


The retired lighting director believes his heart attack was triggered by an open letter his son, Thomas Jr, wrote trying to convince Harry not to marry Meghan.

The revelation over surgery was the latest twist on a rollercoaster of speculation surrounding whether Mr Markle would attend Saturday's royal wedding at Windsor Castle in Berkshire.

It came just hours after Meghan seemed to have convinced her father to change his mind and walk her down the aisle.

'She doesn't have a copyright on that and she's not going to tell me that I can't speak about my life or my father's life where its a matter of public self-defence.

'The media is disparaging us. I'm not going to take it.

Ex-VC Sues Nigerian Breweries Over Low Sugar Claim In Malt Drink

A former vice-chancellor of the Benson Idahosa University, Prof. Ernest Izevbigie, has dragged Nigerian Breweries Plc before an Edo State High Court sitting in Benin for alleged deception.

Izevbigie accused the company of allegedly inscribing misleading information, with the inscription, “low sugar,” on the container of one of its non-alcoholic drinks, Amstel Malta.

The case, with suit number B/281/2017, was filed before the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Esohe Ikponmwen, through the claimant’s lawyer, Mr. Okonkwo Emmanuel, of Henry Idahagbon and Co.

Izevbigie said he had during a medical check-up discovered an increase in his blood sugar level.

He also claimed that he had traced the challenge to his regular intake of the malt drink.

The professor of Biochemistry alleged that a laboratory investigation revealed that the product contained more sugar than the company claimed in the inscription on the brand.

He, therefore, urged the court to order the company to tender a written apology as the he had been injured by the alleged deception.

He also stated that the label was misleading to the public.

During cross-examination on Tuesday by the counsel to the defendant, Mr. L. O. Ogiefere, the claimant told the court that malt did not merit the “low sugar” label, according to clinical research.

According to Izevbigie, the drink allegedly contained 10 cubes of sugar as against the 10 and a half to 10 one-quarter cubes contained in other malt drinks which did not have the inscription.

The presiding judge adjourned the matter till June 28 for the defendant to open its case.

Once I Put On My Red Regalia, It Means Somebody Must Be Killed - Cultist

A member of the Eiye Confraternity, Azeez Idris, paraded by the Lagos State Police Command alongside 15 others, allegedly said whenever he puts on his red regalia it means that somebody must be killed.

The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, during the parade said Azeez Idris, as the leader of the Eiye Confraternity in Ilasan, confessed to the killing of many citizens in that location.

“He told the police that once he puts on his red regalia it means that somebody must be killed.


I haven’t killed anyone since I was initiated in 2016

But the suspect denied, saying: “I am a member of Eiye cult confraternity. I was initiated in 2016 by a friend called Honey.

Since I became a member of the cult, I haven’t killed anyone. The clothes I wore while sleeping is what the police alleged is the cult uniform. “I have gone to prison before for a related offence.

I was in Kirikiri for over three months before I was released. Because the police officer knows my house that is why they came to my house to arrest me. “The police officer said we were the ones terrorizing the community. I am not the leader of the gang. The current leader of the gang, Jide, is serving a jail term, while the founding leader is Andrew.

“Members of the gang usually contribute money to assist each other. The weapons recovered by the police were found in Andrew’s house. He said he is using the weapons at the site. He was the gang leader in the previous administration before Jide, who is now in prison, took over. Another member of the gang paraded, Andrew Awalebi, popularly called Flying Bird, confessed that he was initiated into the group in 1990 by one Efrebor.

He confessed to being a two-time ex-convict and had at one time been charged to Ebute-Meta Magistrate’s Court as a result of inter-cult clashes in Ajah/Lekki areas in which many lives were lost.

“I was a cultist before now but I am no longer a cultist. I was arrested in my house. I have been arrested for cult related activities.” Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, said nine of the cultists, who have made life a nightmare for the inhabitants of Jakande Estate and Lekki area of Lagos State, were arrested on May 9, at Jakande Estate, Lekki, Lagos based on their mission to attack rival cult group.

Weapon recovered from the suspects include a locally made single barrel pistol, two battle axe, two daggers, one cutlass, charms and a pair of red regalia. The other cultists were nabbed in Ketu area of Lagos. CP Edgal Imohimi noted that the suspects will be charged to court at the end of the investigation.

Thug Transforms Teen Girl Into A Nightmare With Acid For Dating A Black Man

A teenager doused in acid on her doorstep by a thug in a ski mask has described the moment she felt like her "skin was melting off."

Alma Ponce, 18, was scarred for life as she returned home from work with her mother, Patricia Ponce and brother, Luis Ruiz, eight, last year.

The attacker unscrewed a lightbulb on her porch so it would be dark and as her mother tried to unlock the front door, he raced around the side of the house.

He then tossed a vial of acid in her face before running off.


She instantly ran to her little brother's paddling pool to help cool her burns and ease the pain, but nothing helped.

Alma, of Oak Cliff in Dallas, Texas, said: "I just didn’t know what to do, it was just seconds but it felt like a long time.

"All I could feel instantly was this burning sensation on my neck and face. It was awful.

"It got into my eye so I couldn’t see. It felt like my skin was melting off.

"I ran down the porch to my little brother’s kiddy pool and I just threw myself in.

"I was wearing a work hat and when I took it off the skin of my forehead came off with it. I really thought I was done, I thought I was going to die. The pain was so bad."

Police believe it was a racially motivated attack as graffiti had been sprayed on the side of her house, reading: 'Alma, n***** loving w****.'

The slur led Dallas Police to believe the attack was racially motivated because Alma had previously dated an African-American.

The sales rep was rushed to hospital with second degree burns on her face, neck and chest, and had to undergo a series of skin grafts.

She added: "I think about this attack every day and it will be something I think about for the rest of my life.

"I wake up every morning and I just hope it was a dream but it never is because then I see my scars in the mirror.

"I’m not the same person I was last year. I’ve become really paranoid.’ ‘At night I get scared. I think the could be around that corner waiting for me again."

The police have never found her attacker.

Alma now lives in fear the attacker – who has not been caught – will strike again. I’m really not hopeful that they’ll ever catch who did this," she said.

"I was unable to tell the police anything about him and it all happened so quickly. At first I was so angry and upset but I realized my anger was pointless.

"Right now I’m just focusing on moving on with my life."

NECO Registrar Suspended Over Abuse Of Office

The source said that the officials were suspended for allegedly awarding contracts to the tune of N25 billion without following due process.

They were said not to have sought approval from Ministry of Education, the supervisory ministry or from the Governing Board of the council.

Uwakwe was also alleged to be involved in recruitment in the council without following due process.

And Caitlyn Jenner made a thinly-veiled dig about the new mum as she took to Instagram to gush about the 'amazing mums' in her life on Sunday.

The Keeping Up with The Kardashians star looked fresh-faced and sported an oversized black zip-up hoodie, while Stormi was snuggled up in a white blanket.

In another snap, the lipstick mogul was joined by Caitlyn's two sons, Burt and Brandon who are cuddling their children, Bodhi and Eva.

 She captioned the post: 'So blessed to have so many amazing moms in my life'.

Caitlyn also paid tribute to mum-of-three Kim Kardashian, sharing a selfie of the pair beaming in the kitchen while Kim cradled her son Saint.
