Wallace Turnquist purchased Ezekiel Akpu-nku from Nigeria as a playmate and servant for this 13-year-old son, Skyler. “Last year I took Sky on a hunting safari to Africa and he was delighted by the African people. How funny they were, how they were always smiling and so eager to please. At first he just wanted to take one, but I told him kidnapping was illegal. So instead, I bought him one,” Wallace Turnquist said. Since slavery and human trafficking are illegal, Turnquist gave Ezekiel a 5 year employment contract that pays $1,000 per year plus room/board, one day off per month and unlimited snacks. Ezekiel’s contract states that he must do whatever Skyler tells him to do so long as it is not illegal. “This one time I made him stand on one foot for the entire day. I also made him eat a spider. He does whatever I say. He’s the best toy ever,” Skyler Turnquist said. Skyler already wants another “African toy” but his father has said no this time. “I don’t want Sky getting spo

Mr. Augustine Obodeke, who is the father of a 17yrs old girl, has been  arrested  by the  Police in Edo State for consistently sleeping with his  teenage  daughter, Favour, and  GETTING  her pregnant  on  THREE  different occasions. The bubble burst when he got her pregnant the third time and  wanted  her to undergo another abortion so he can continue to do it with her.  The girl refused and cried to their neighbours who dragged the father to the police state where he is being detained for the dastardly act. When asked why it took her so long before she cried out, Favoure said, “Since my mother died, I felt I had no choice any time my father instructed me to sleep with him. [But] when he impregnate me the third time and wanted me to go for abortion I had to run out of the house and scream.” Speaking about his the shameful act, the girl’s father said:  

This is the shocking confession of the suspected killer of 35-year-old housewife, Martha Ifeoma Ifewulu who was discovered at her house in a pool of her blood. The mother of four and wife of Chief Lawrence Ugochukwu Ifewulu, 52, was murdered by an unknown person few hours before her children arrived from school. On closer examination, it was discovered that the silky-soft skin of her throat was hideously slashed with a knife like that of a goat. Surprisingly, the husband later was reported to have alleged that one Collins should be held responsible for the death of his wife. The grieving husband also alleged that the wife might have been killed to prevent her from divulging their plans to kill him, dispose off his assets and elope to Canada with his children. A shocker then came early January, 2015, when a call from an unknown telephone number was received by this reporter. The caller who was sounding as if he was in a hurry asked if he was speaking with

A middle-aged  woman  alleged to be a  witch  in Ughelli South area of Delta State on Friday evening confessed to have been using her urine to mix the beans with which she prepared moi-moi which she sold to members of the public as well as fed family members with. Reports said the woman, well-known in the community for her beauty and well-prepared meals especially her moi-moi that she sold to unsuspecting members of the public, confessed when she was almost lynched by angry mobs over allegation by a young  man  in the area that she planned to kill him with her witchcraft. It was gathered that the man was about taking his bath in the bathroom when a rat almost hit him on the leg. On seeing the rat, he picked a piece of wood and chase it, but instead of beating a retreat, the rat allegedly increased in size, eventually turning into a human being before disappearing, leaving two slippers behind… The young man was said to have went to town with the tale, and on getting to the ho

Twenty one Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, have rejected a proposal to postpone Nigeria’s general elections billed for February 14 and 28. In a vote conducted Saturday by the INEC chairman, Attahiru Jega, after he met with political parties and the civil society, 21 RECs said the elections should continue as planned while 16 others voted in support of a reschedule.  Nigeria has 37 RECs, each for a state and the Federal Capital, Abuja. The outcome of the vote came as Nigerians await INEC’s decision on whether the elections are moved or not. After 17 political parties voted for a postponement as against 11 that argued for INEC to remain faithful to its time table, the mood across the land suggested that INEC will capitulate to a demand by military and security chiefs asking for a six weeks postponement on the presumed grounds that they have a special operations to we against the six year insurgency which appears t

  The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attahiru Jega, has concluded a briefing meeting with 25 civil society groups in Abuja Saturday informing them that all security agencies in the country have indicated to him, in writing, that they are not available to support the elections planned for February 14 and 28. Mr. Jega, who had an earlier meeting with political parties, is rounding up another meeting with his 36 resident electoral commissioners now on what will amount to an INEC position on whether to postpone or go ahead with the elections. Insiders at the meeting said “its pretty much a done deal at this point that the elections will be postponed” and many of the attendees told PREMIUM TIMES they were shell-shocked and depressed at what they characterize as “a clear case of political blackmail of the state against civil society”. Jibrin Ibrahim, a leading African election expert and senior fellow at the Centre for Democracy and Development, C

In a dramatic shift, 16 minor political parties on Tuesday threw their support behind some calls for the postponement of Nigeria’s general elections slated for February. In addition, five of the 14 presidential candidates signed a joint statement urging the electoral commission to postpone the elections to a “more appropriate” date. Although they do not have much to lose in the process, they threatened to boycott the elections if their wishes were not heeded. The parties involved are: the United Democratic Party (UDP), Citizen Peoples Party (CPP), Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN), Action Alliance (AA), Peoples Democratic Congress (PDC) (ACPN), Labour Party (LP), (MPPP), United Party of Nigeria (UPN), Alliance for Democracy (AD), (ADC), (ACD) Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) and Independent Democrat (ID).

FORMER  CPC vice presidential candidate and founder of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has declared that he earnestly yearns for a better Nigeria where good governace, equal distribution of the nation’s resources amongst others for all citizens. The former running mate of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) made this remarks while ministering during the inauguration and commissioning of Grace and Glory Chapel in Ikeja, Lagos, while giving reasons why he rejected a car gift for his 60th birthday. Pastor Bakare said he was not interested in becoming a local champion in a city of the blind, recalling that, some persons brought him a 2015 model of Rolls Royce during his 60th birthday which, he said, he out rightly rejected, adding that he was not in need of such exotic car while majority of Nigerians are wallowing in poverty. “I want to see good governance.

The increasing spate of attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign train in some parts of the North is rattling the leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party. Investigations by SUNDAY PUNCH in Abuja, on Friday, showed that the grave situation were made worse by allegations that the attacks had been carried out by aggrieved members of the party. It was learnt that the situation had prompted the President’s security team to take extra measures to protect him as he prepared to visit Gombe, Yobe and Niger states this week. Our correspondents also gathered that the PDP had been further unsettled by the hot exchange of words between the Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Sen. Bala Mohammed, over the stoning of the President’s convoy in Katsina State. The party and the Presidency were said to have been stunned by Yuguda’s claim that the attack on the President’s convey was arranged by the members of the ruli
