Police arrests Man who Vandalised Cars at Nigerian High Commission in London

A Nigerian man has been arrested in London for allegedly destroying official cars at the Nigerian High Commission.

The man, identified as Jeffrey Ewohime, was at the High Commission to collect his international passport, which had expired since November 2017.

A statement by Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chief executive officer of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), said that the man got to the venue at 2pm, one hour after the official collection time had passed and was denied entry.

The statement added that Ewohime also did not have his collection slip, a requirement for collection of the document.

The statement continued: “He thereafter left agitated and returned from a nearby hotel to destroy about seven cars, 5 belonging to the mission, and 2 to visitors who parked nearby.”

“His attempt to destroy the High Commissioner’s car failed as it is a bullet proof. I am told that he has been arrested by the police.”

“He destroyed seven brand new cars , except the ambassador’s car which is bullet proof. This is a despicable act, which must be condemned by all. Of course, the law must take its course.”

Landlord accuses Cynthia Morgan of Owing ₦1.3m Rent

Dancehall singer Cynthia Morgan has been accused by her landlord of owing rent of ₦1.3 million, Punch reports.

The singer who stays in an apartment in Omole Estate, Lagos has reportedly been charged to court for the failure to pay her rent.

She’s been given quit notice, a source told Punch, but her brother has pleaded for a grace period after the initial 6 months required by the law.

Asides the ₦1.3 million owed in rent, the source added that the singer has been served court papers for evading tax up to the amount of ₦3.584 million. The source said:

Ever since she moved into the apartment as a tenant, the owner of the building has described her as a nightmare. She has since been given quit notice. At a point, the owner of the house didn’t even know who was staying in the flat because every day, new faces showed up at the apartment and they would leave the gate open at odd hours. Young scary looking boys with different hair colours come around and they smoke in the compound.

They disturb the nice couple living in the flat upstairs, who have been complaining that they can’t even let their kids play in the compound because of the type of people they see around. She has owed waste bills for over a year. They always play loud music at odd hours of the day. Funnily enough, the couple who live upstairs are also popular; the man is a very popular celebrity designer but I would not want to mention his name. His wife always complains that her home help sweeps cigarette butts everywhere all the time.

Cynthia Morgan decided at a point that she was going to be recording in her room. When the noise was too much, the owner of the house had to talk to her about it. She has been given quit notice. The six months grace period is up and she was meant to have moved out last month. She is flat broke. They have been pleading that they don’t have anywhere to move to neither can they come up with the rent. But it’s her brother that has been speaking on her behalf. We haven’t seen or heard from her but he claims she is always locked up in her room.

The court papers have been submitted to Cynthia Morgan’s apartment already and she has been served a court date. She owes ₦1.3m. According to her elder brother, she is in the house. She was also served court papers for not paying up to ₦3.584m in tax. It was the agent that sued her on behalf of his client. He is a very popular real estate agent; he is like a celebrity estate agent. He’s the one that gets apartments for most of them.

Cynthia Morgan’s rep, who identified himself as Maze, has however denied the story.

They sound like lies to him, he said, and all the allegations will have to be proven.

I do not know of anything like that and I would say that it is a lie. I do not know about any court papers, so I would say that it is a lie. To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware that she owes her landlord any money. I believe that if they claim she smokes, entertains strange guests and leaves the gate open at odd hours, they should have proof. In my book, none of this statement is factual. I don’t know about these details and I would say that it is a lie.

DMX Rapper Sentenced to 1 Year in Jail For Tax Evasion

The Ruff Ryder rapper whose real name is Earl Simmons was brought before a judge, Jed Rakoff who delivered the sentencing.

It is reported that DMX  didn't pay tax on income earned from 2002 to 2005, and from 2010 to 2015. On top of the prison sentence, Simmons must pay $2.29M back to the US government.

Simmons had pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion but disputed the prosecution’s claim that he deliberately avoided tax by living a “cash lifestyle”, and by concealing his wealth during a bankruptcy hearing. He said he did not steal the money “like a criminal in a comic book”, and acknowledged that the tax should be paid.

The sentence was a long way below the five years recommended by the prosecution. Sentencing judge Jed Rakoff acknowledged Simmons was “a good man, a very far from perfect man”, but said he had committed a “brazen and blatant” crime.

The high point of the court hearing was when DMX' lawyer played one of his songs citing that the song speaks to everyone. That didn't change the heart of the Judge who already had his judgment ready for the accused.

In proffering solutions to exam malpractice, he said: “Combating exams malpractices should be a national and regional concern and treated as emergency, giving its wider international implications. “Laws that provide for both stiff monetary and custodial sentences should be enacted urgently. “Institutional structures should be established such as a special exams fraud unit in the police. “WAEC as an international body should continue investing in Information Technology, staff training and further innovation ways of stemming this practice thereby setting the pace for other examination bodies. “All educational institutions should review their current examination procedure and develop robust policies with a view to stemming this practice. “ Meanwhile, the current penalty that stipulates four-year jail term with no option of fine for anyone found guilty of examination malpractice may soon be replaced with a 10-year jail term without an option of fine, said Mohammed Zakari, the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education and Services.

Nigerian Surgeon's wife arrested for having sex with her student in South Carolina

On Monday, police arrested 27-year-old high school math teacher, Jennifer Danielle Olajire-Aro, after a 17-year-old student came forward to say she had had sex with him several times.

According to an affidavit, Aro who lives and works in South Carolina, engaged in "an intimate and sexual relationship with her 17-year-old male student" on three occasions between November and December at her residence and other locations in Charleston. 

The student told another teacher about the sexual encounters and that teacher reported what the student said to school administration, the affidavit said. 

The matter was reported to authorities who arrested Olajire-Aro. She ultimately admitted to having a sexual relationship with the 17-year-old on three occasions between November and December at her home and other locations in Charleston. Aro faces one count of sexual battery in Charleston, S.C.

At her bond hearing, the victim’s mother spoke out, calling Aro a “hellacious person,”. She said:

“He is 17, 17. He is not an adult. ... Emotionally, he is not ready for this. I’m not ready for the texts, the phone calls, the comments,” she said.

Aro, who is also a tennis coach, has been placed on paid administrative leave, according to the school district.

Her attorney confirmed that Aro is married, with a 10-month-old baby girl, and that her husband is a surgeon at the Medical University of South Carolina.

She’s being held on $100,000 bail and has been ordered not to have contact with the victim, his family or students at the school.

She is also not allowed to leave the state without permission from the 9th Circuit Solicitor's Office. 

Her family was supposed to  come in from Texas for her hearing, but their flight was delayed and they did not make it in time, Holmes said. 

"She is married," he said of his client. "Her husband is a student at the Medical University of South Carolina (in) the residency program. She has a 10-month-old baby, a girl."

Aro taught pre-calculus and algebra at Burke, has a master's degree from the University of Texas in education, and has no prior record, the attorney said. She had no prior disciplinary actions against her at the school until the current accusations surfaced, and has received awards for her teaching.

"This is her first year of employment with Charleston County School District and she is now on paid administrative leave" according to a statement by Andy Pruitt, a district spokesman.

Perfect- Ed Sheeran lyrics

[Verse 1]
I found a love for me
Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

[Verse 2]
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
[Chorus 2]
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3]
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

“This is not my official statement,” he said, adding that his statement will be out soon. He wrote:

Anyone that truly knows me well knows i am an easy going , non problematic, happy and co -operative individual.
Well, I’m not here to talk about myself. I am here to address issues that happens in our society everyday.
We live in a society where the government has failed us whether we like it or not. No jobs, fuel scarcity , SARS , Asuu Strike , Nupeng Strike , Name it….. it’s endless .. HARDSHIP… ENDLESS HARDSHIP …. Today I had an encounter that a lot of people go through everyday. People who are heading home after a failed interview, people going home after a night shift , people on their way to get their daily bread but get harassed by people who are the force because of reasons best known to them or maybe because u are a young boy wearing a gold chain or have a beard .
Though I won’t deny the existence of great people in the police force that are ready to listen , I still stand by my opinion which is popular amongst the youth and more#ENDSARS
Today I learnt that the police force needs deep reform and sensitization.
This is not my official statement… my official statement will be out soon
Lastly I will like to thank @aleeygiwa , Mr Etim Godwin from J command for stepping in… #EndSars#NoBePhysicalSomething
