Chris Brown has been thrown back in jail until June after his bail application was denied by the judge.
The trial was to start today but was postponed till June .He has been
locked up since March 14 and faces a 4 year jail sentence..CNN
reports..
Chris Brown must return to California the same way he got to Washington, D.C. -- in chains on the grueling "Con Air" inmate transport system.
A Los Angeles judge refused a request to free the singer from custody on Wednesday so he could make his own way back from Washington.
His lawyer , Mark Geragos,said
"I think it's a little over the top to have him in custody on this misdemeanor when everybody saw the bodyguard's trial and which was nothing more than a bloody nose,And you have got the bodyguard who was convicted and who readily admitted he was the one who did the punching. So all of this is much ado about nothing."
A source told Hollywood Life that he broke down in tears infront of
Karrauche who was at the trial,confessing he was so terrified of being
locked up for 4 years.He also said he is tired and doesn't sleep because
he's nervous.
Wife accuses pastor husband of beating & dragging her out of his house (Photo)
Bessem Okafor, the estranged wife of the pastor of Mountain of
Liberation Miracles Ministires, Dr. Chris Okafor, has accused her
husband of beating her up at their home in Magodo, Lagos.
Bessem who left her home in 2012, said she had, a few weeks ago, gone to visit her four children who were in the custody of their father.According to Punch, the visit was said to have been arranged by a lawyer from the Office of the Public Defender, Lagos State Ministry of Justice, and her husband’s lawyer, Mr. Onyechukwu Ubani.
She said,
A few hours after her children had left for school, Bessem received a phone call from Chris who had also left the house. He allegedly questioned her presence in the house and ordered her to leave.When Bessem insisted on staying till her children returned from school, Chris allegedly sent a policeman who was part of his entourage to the house.
She said,
The following day after making a complaint of assault at the Isheri Police Division, she was hospitalised at the Solid Rock Hospital, in the Ojodu/Berger area.A copy of her medical report made available to PUNCH Metro said Bessem was brought in for treatment after a brawl with her spouse.
It reads in part,
Chris, when contacted, did not respond to calls and a text message to his phone. Our correspondent visited his church at Ojodu on two occasions, but his aides said he was not available for comment.
However, Chris lawyer, Ubani, said
, “Bessem has made all sorts of allegations against her husband, but what she has failed to tell you is that she left her marriage of her own volition. She ended her marriage with her infidelity. She would leave her house, come back at late hours and would not tell her husband where she has been.
“The couple are already in court for divorce. This particular incident you are asking about, it was Bessem who tore her own clothes. Chris never laid a hand on her. Why did she not get a medical report from a government hospital?If she was truly assaulted she would have gone to the station to make a report. Then they would give her a paper to take to a public hospital. That of the private hospital is not admissible in court. Chris never refused her access to her children; they were simply brought to the church because his mother and cousin were not at home. After bringing some policemen from Isheri to arrest Chris while he was at the pulpit, she still went ahead to Zone 2 to make another report.

She said,
“I have not seen my children for nine months and our lawyers agreed that I could come see them at home after school hours by 5pm. I went to the house at the appointed time, but my children were not there.I had to wait outside in the compound until 10pm before my husband arrived; the children were not with him. They were later brought home by the driver about 12am. By then it was clear I couldn’t leave again, I had to spend the night.The following morning, I bathed and dressed them for school. They pleaded with me to stay back until they returned and since I hardly spent time with them the day before, I agreed.”

She said,
“The policeman told me to leave the house. At that time, I was wearing only my dress. I had washed my undies and spread them to dry since I didn’t come with extra.I told the policeman that I would leave after my children returned from school. Later, Chris came in and on seeing me, he started beating me and dragged me out of the house.”She said some policemen came to arrest her, but could not go with them because her clothes were torn.

“Examination revealed a middle aged woman in distress with multiple bruises, BP 140/80mmhg and pulse rate 104bpm. There was inflammation around the left knee and tenderness along the spine. She was subsequently admitted, placed on intravenous fluids and managed as case of multiple trauma secondary to domestic violence.”The report was signed by one Dr. Ametepee T. M.

"My parents found out they were brother & sister after I was born" -Harrysong reveals
In a shocking revelation, singer,Harrysong told Yes Magazine that he is the product of a brother/sister union... ..When asked why his parents didn't have other kids after him..He said..
" It’s just that after my dad and my mum gave birth to me, they separated and went their different ways. So, my father got married to another woman and also my mother to another man. They separated because I was given birth to by two relations. My father and mother are actually brother and sister. They gave birth to me before they could realize that.Well, I learnt that when my mother was alive, she met my father. Then she was still in school and they were in the same class and the same village. But she didn’t know that they are closely related. So, I was born based on what our villagers regarded as abomination and therefore they had to separate. Because it was a big abomination, so they had to separate. Even, they attempted to kill my father in that village, but he fled, because in Warri where I come from, it is a taboo. They termed it incest."
Revealed! How Boko Haram Recruits Youths With $3000
Young Nigerians at the border town of Nigeria and
Niger Republic, Diffa, have confessed to be recruits of the Islamist
militant group, Boko Haram.
A member of a gang in Niger told the British
Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) that Boko Haram Islamist militants from
Nigeria “regularly come across the border, looking for recruits.”
The gang members, in their 20s, said they were
paid $3,085 (about N500,000) to join the insurgency and since they were
jobless, they were willing to take the cash, but with no interest in
protecting Sharia law.
However, they said they were willing to strike if
given the assignment to do so, as they blamed their decision to join
the militant group on their joblessness.
“They have paid Nigerian naira ($3,085, £1,835) to those of us who followed them over there,” one of the young men said.
“When they come, we inform them about what’s going on, what the security forces are up to.
“We have no jobs; some of us are still at high school, but we need money. Violence has become a form of work for us.”
These confessions were revealed in a documentary
published by the BBC, on Tuesday, after Thomas Fessy, a BBC reporter
visited Diffa region in Niger Republic.
BBC made contacts with this local gang, who claimed they collaborated with Boko Haram and agreed.
According to BBC documentary, five of these young
Nigerians said they had already joined the militant Boko Haram sect,
while two other members were killed in operations.
In total there are about a dozen gang members in a tiny, dark room, built with local mud-bricks.
When the reporter asked them: “If you are asked to launch an attack here, will you be ready to do that?”
Their response: “Yes, we are ready. We have no job, so, we are ready. That is what we are here for.”
When the BBC reporter asked if they agreed with
Boko Haram’s reason for fighting, they answered in unison: “No. We only
do it for the money.”
Arriving one by one to meet the BBC crew earlier
on a street corner in Diffa, they all wore skinny jeans, bright coloured
T-shirts and shiny chains, like those seen around the necks of American
rappers on music videos.
Their attitude and brand new clothes made them stand out when they walked down the dusty streets of Diffa.
The fashion style is clearly inspired by Western consumerism rather than Islamist militancy.
“We break into houses for cash; sometimes we beat people for money,
we steal their animals so we can eat and then we gather up and take
Tramol (an opiate drug), smoke ganja (marijuana) and drink alcohol,” one
of the gang members said
How Tenants Lynched Landlord’s son in Lagos,dumped corpse on road after mistaking him for a kidnapper
This is just so sad and people have to be careful.A son who had been
away for 24 years without contacting his family,finally came
home.Unknown to him, his mother had died and didn’t live in the compound
he went to visit that night .Probably because he wore dreads, a woman
saw him and raised an alarm and he was lynched to death..
Some tenants and members of the Odua People’s Congress have lynched a 41-year-old man in the Ajelogo area of Mile 12, Lagos State.
Tolulope Olajuwape, was beaten to death by residents of Fasanya Street near his father’s house after being wrongly accused of being a kidnapper.An unidentified woman was said to have raised a false alarm, after which Olajuwape was beaten to death.
The elder sister of the deceased, Mrs. Oluwakemi Adesanya said that her brother had been away from Nigeria for many years.She said on the fateful day, the deceased had gone to the area to visit their mother, who he did not know was dead.
She said,
Adesanya said,
It was learnt that the irate mob traced Olajuwape to the house and tortured him for about four hours.The developer of the said property was said to have called the tenants of the house on the telephone to inform them that the person being lynched was indeed the landlord’s son, but by then it was already too late.
After killing him, his corpse was thrown into the main road and was crushed by oncoming vehicles.
However, it was learnt that some of the tenants, including the woman who raised the false alarm, had been arrested.A landlord on Fadare Street, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said many of them could not do anything to save the victim.

The elder sister of the deceased, Mrs. Oluwakemi Adesanya said that her brother had been away from Nigeria for many years.She said on the fateful day, the deceased had gone to the area to visit their mother, who he did not know was dead.
She said,
“My brother has been away from Nigeria for about 24 years. He spent five years in Sierra Leone while he has spent the last 19 years in Guinea Bissau. However, four years ago, he came briefly to Nigeria and we discussed how we were going to renovate our late father’s house on Fasanya Street and let it out.We begged him to stay in Nigeria, but he refused. After he returned to Guinea Bissau, we lost touch because he lost his phone and my elder brother, who had his phone number, had misplaced his own phone as well. So, when our mother died over a year ago, Tolulope did not even know.On April 9, 2014, I received a phone call from one of my elder brothers in Kaduna, who told me that he heard that Tolulope was in Nigeria and was being beaten up near our father’s house. It was quite late in the evening and I was very far away, so I could not do anything that night.”Adesanya said the following morning, she visited the area where she was informed that a suspected kidnapper had been lynched.The matter was then reported at the Mile 12 Police Post after which investigations began.
Adesanya said,
“My aunt told me that my brother had gone to my father’s house around 7pm and did not like the condition of the house. He went inside the house and threatened to evict some people, but none of the tenants knew him because the house had been given to a developer.Maybe because my brother was on dreadlocks, he looked suspicious to them. I learnt that a woman raised the alarm and accused him of being a kidnapper and a thief. People immediately gathered around him and one OPC man descended on my brother.My brother ran to the next street – Fadare Street – where my mother’s house was situated. He entered the house and started knocking on doors, shouting ‘Iya Kemi e gba mi’ (Iya Kemi, help me). He did not know that Iya Kemi, our mother, was deceased and the house had been rented out.”
It was learnt that the irate mob traced Olajuwape to the house and tortured him for about four hours.The developer of the said property was said to have called the tenants of the house on the telephone to inform them that the person being lynched was indeed the landlord’s son, but by then it was already too late.
After killing him, his corpse was thrown into the main road and was crushed by oncoming vehicles.
“After killing my brother, someone explained to them that he was indeed the landlord’s son. When the mob noticed that they had made a mistake, they threw my brother’s corpse into the main road so that it would be crushed beyond recognition,”Adesanya said while fighting back tears.Adesanya wondered how the lynching took place without the knowledge of the police despite the fact that the scene of the incident was just two streets away from the Mile 12 Police Post.When our correspondent visited the house on Fasanya Street, all the rooms were locked and the house was deserted.
However, it was learnt that some of the tenants, including the woman who raised the false alarm, had been arrested.A landlord on Fadare Street, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said many of them could not do anything to save the victim.
He said,
“As you can see, I am very old and I have lost my sight. I knew the victim’s mother, Iya Kemi. I heard when somebody was shouting Iya Kemi’s name for help, but I cannot even walk without being aided.Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, had yet to reply to text messages sent to her telephones as of the time of going to the press.
It was later in the morning that I was informed that it was her son that was killed. Before her death, Iya Kemi used to cry that she missed her son, Tolu. It is unfortunate what happened.”

Robbers raid 8 streets in Lagos for over 7hrs,rape women and burn cars (Photo)
According to Punch,There were fears and tension in the Mushin area of
Lagos State on Monday morning after about 60 robbers operated on no
fewer than eight streets and destroyed about 30 vehicles.
Some residents told our correspondent that the robbers also raped some young ladies and operated unchallenged for about seven hours.
The hoodlums, who reportedly belonged to two cult groups – Akala boys and Toheeb’s gang – ravaged New Balogun, Euba, Ayonuga, Tiamiyu, Haruna, Ereko, Oyedele streets and Coker Lane.
A mosque on Coker Lane was not spared as the worshippers, who slept in the mosque after a vigil, were robbed by the hoodlums.
One of the people in the mosque told PUNCH Metro that the robbers fired bullets for over one hour before robbing from house-to-house.
He said,
“It was around 12am on Monday morning that we started hearing gunshots. It lasted for about an hour. “Around 1am, they started going from house-to-house, robbing the occupants. They stole about seven laptops from the house opposite this mosque. They stole phones, money and everything they saw. They came inside the mosque and took our phones and money. People were crying throughout the night. It was terrible.
Another witness said the robbers were not in a haste. He said they robbed till 5am and came back at 6am to continue before leaving around 7am.

Our correspondent observed that a generator was also removed from its shed by the robbers. Vehicles parked on the streets were vandalised by the robbers, just as two Toyota Hilus van were burnt.Kasali Daramola, a driver who spoke while fighting back tears, told our correspondent he owned one of the burnt vehicles.
Our correspondent counted 20 vehicles, but some residents said about 10 damaged cars had been taken away by their owners for repairs.
He said,
“This is the third time they will do this to me. What have I done to them? The first was a Lexus car my younger brother bought for me, which I was planning to sell to acquire a commercial bus to take care of my four kids and wife. I sold the scrap for N30, 000. I used the money I raised to get a bus and I was paying for it by installment. I have not finished the payment when they destroyed it.”
Daramola said the men entered his house and some of the ladies living there were raped.
He said attempts to bring in the police were abortive as they kept saying they were on their way without showing up.
A resident said,
He said the hoodlums took advantage of a carnival that was held the previous night on Ojo Street to perpetrate the havoc.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Ngozi Braide, said she would call back, but she had yet to do so as of press time.
A resident said,
“For over five years now this area has not known peace. Will the police say they cannot do anything about it? Around 7am that policemen came here, they still saw some of those robbers around, but did not do anything. Why? I believe the police know all the people causing trouble here and if they want to do something, it doesn’t take them anything.”Tosin Gbolahan, a resident, said a policeman attached to Alakara Police Station was with the hoodlums on Monday morning.
He said the hoodlums took advantage of a carnival that was held the previous night on Ojo Street to perpetrate the havoc.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Ngozi Braide, said she would call back, but she had yet to do so as of press time.
