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.

According to Punch, 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. 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:

“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.”

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 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.

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:

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.

Chris, when contacted, did not respond to calls and a text message to his phone. Punch's correspondent visited his church at Ojodu on two occasions, but his aides said he was not available for comment.

When PUNCH Metro contacted the Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ngozi Braide, she did not respond to calls and text messages to her phone.
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.”

The PPRO Zone 2, SP Lewi Suleimann, when contacted said:

“We are still waiting to get the file transferred from the Isheri Police Station. I would not like to comment much before we get the file.”

Lola Omotayo reacted to the allegations that she is behind P-Square's Breakup

Since the rummoured breakup of P-Square sprung, there have been tales that the wife of Peter Okoye, Lola Omotayo, was responsible for it. Some people accused the woman of instigating Peter against his brothers.

Lola has now reacted to the allegations, stating that she is not behind the issue as being widely speculated.

"I'm a lady of substance, though I have my shortcomings. I might not be loved by everyone, but the people that matter to me hold me in high esteem and that's enough for me," she said.

Lola has two children for Peter, all given birth out of wedlock.

Cow And Bull Get Married In Wedding Ceremony Costing $17,000

More than 5,000 villagers turned up to watch sacred cow Ganga and Prakash get hitched during the 1 million rupee Hindu ceremony held near Indore in Madya Pradesh.


A cow and a bull have been married off in a lavish Indian wedding - costing $17,000.
The nuptials were organised by Ganga's guardian, Gopal Patwari, to save the region's harvest from a 'natural disaster'.
He said: "Natural calamities like hailstorms and heavy rain occurred in nearby areas, destroying their crops.
  
To prevent this from happening to our villages we organised this wedding on the advice of Sadhus and holy men.
We have been told this will maintain peace in our village."
The wedding took two months to organise and invitations were sent to 10,000 residents of three closely connected villages, encouraging them to donate what they could spare.
Most are farmers growing wheat, barley, beans and cotton and so heavily depend on a good harvest to survive
 
So it was no surprise when more than 5,000 arrived in droves on Monday, April 14, to witness the no-expense-spared wedding - and few left disappointed.
CowGanga, who is considered sacred in the Hindu religion, arrived early dressed in a red custom-made bridal saree, jewels, dyes and a garland.
The bull Prakash arrived in a decorated bugee and draped in a multicoloured sherwani and orange turban.
 
The ceremony started with Mr Patwari giving Ganga away before a Sadhu performed all the traditional rituals.
This included Haldi, Ganesh Pooja, Mandap and Fera - where the couple are led around a sacred fire to affirm the marriage.
Mr Patwari looked overjoyed as they were finally announced a couple, sparking hours of feasting and dancing to a DJ.
He said: "I am happy. People around me are happy. Everyone is happy.
From here on we hope Ganga and Prakash lead a happy life together, just like a normal man and wife. 
 
They will go on and have children who will be happy and prosperous.
We expect Hindus of our village not to forget our holy cow and remember their religion.
The next generations especially should not forget. We want more weddings like this to take place in the future."

Photos : Man drags 3-tonne van with only his teeth, while walking on broken glass

Easy does it: Yang Dong, 20, pulled a three tonne van using a rope gripped between his teeth in Fuzhou, China

 Many people say their commute is like pulling teeth, but Yang Dong has more reason to complain than most.

The 20-year-old gripped a rope between his jaws and pulled a van laden with nine adults - while walking on broken glass.
Tough job: My Yang practiced for 10 years for the stunt, which involved a 13ft-long carpet of shattered bottles
  
Glutton for punishment: Mr Yang, 20, rubbed broken glass all over his body before the main event

He began practicing the stunt 10 years ago and now manages to pull a van weighing three tons down the street.

Meanwhile, the road under him was laden with a 13ft carpet of shattered beer bottles.
 

Mr Yang managed to pull off the feat last week in Fuzhou, a city of 7million people and the capital of south east China's Fujian province.

It is not clear yet if he has set a world record. Last year a man calling himself Montystar A. also pulled a three-tonne truck with his mouth in Haryana, India - though on that occasion broken glass was not involved.

'There’ll Be More Bomb Blasts And Jonathan Knows Those Responsible' - Primate Ayodele Prophecies

Founder, Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church, Oke Afa, Isolo, Lagos, Primate Ayodele whose predictions are said to always come to pass has revealed in a recent interview that there will be more bomb blasts in the nation.
 
He said since security intelligence does not recognise prophecy, bloodletting will continue.
According to him, there are moles in the Presidency, the Senate, House Of Representatives, SSS, Nigeria Police Force, the Army, Air Force and the Navy who give information to these terrorists and President Jonathan knows who they are but is afraid to stand up to them, adding that their next targets are shopping malls and markets.
He explained that with prayers, these problems can be solved but the nation's leaders have soiled their hands in evil acts and they derive pleasure in the shedding of blood.
He said, "If Jonathan comes back 100 times to rule this country, he won’t be able to solve the problems. He does not listen to the voice of God, flattery and deceit are good music to him. When you praise him he is always happy. Most of the pastors he goes to are afraid to tell him the truth. There is red signal all over the country."

On the confab, he said they will speak the mind of the people and make recommendations but the government will not listen.

On the political situation in the country, he said members of the All Progressives Congress, APC will defect to PDP before the 2015 elections and if APC refuses to give Muhammadu Buhari the ticket to contest the presidency he will quit, adding that there will be no elections in some state.
He called on all governors to pray so as not to lose four of their own to the cold hands of death.
On the abducted students, he said they will come out unhurt.
Speaking on Super Eagles and the world cup, he said they will try but they won’t get to the semi-final and Coach Stephen Keshi will quit coaching them after the World Cup.
On the missing Malaysian flight, he said the Malaysian government should be held responsible because they know its whereabouts.

Incredible: Dramatic moment killer about to be hanged is spared execution by his victim's parents

A murderer was spared from the hangman’s noose with seconds to spare - by the mother of his victim.

The killer, named only as Balal, had been blindfolded and bound with the noose placed round his neck when he was reprieved only seconds before he was due to be executed.

The parents of his 18-year-old victim Abdollah Hosseinzadeh jnr were set, under Sharia law,to take part in the hanging of the man who had killed him in a street knife-fight seven years ago.

The teenager’s brother and father were on the hangman’s spot and due to kick the chair out from under the the killer.
 

But at the very last second the dead boy’s mother had a change of heart and slapped him across the face before pulling the noose from round his neck.

Her husband Abolghani Hosseinzadeh, Snr., said his wife had a change of heart after their dead son appeared to her in a dream.

The couple had already lost a son aged 11 after he died in a motorbike crash.

Said Mr Hosseinzadeh: ” Three days ago, my wife saw my elder son in a dream telling her that they are in a good place and for her not to retaliate.”

Seconds after releasing Balal from his intended death spot, his own mother ran over to  his mother Mrs Hosseinzadeh and threw her arms round her as she wept in thanks for her incredible act of forgiveness.

Mr. Hosseinzadeh said he didn’t believe Balal meant to kill his son.

“Abdollah was offended after a row and kicked him. But Balal pulled a kitchen knife out of his sock and didn’t know how to handle a knife. He was naive.”

The mother of Abdolah Hosseinzadeh, just before she removed the noose around his neck with the help of her husband, sparing the life of her son's convicted murderer

 So far this year Iran has carried out at least 100 executions following the estimated 500 people were put to death last year.

The country is second only to China in the number of executions carried out.

At the weekend Iran said it executed 16 “rebels” in an immediate reprisal after gunmen killed at least 14 border guards near the border with Pakistan.

The two mothers of vicim and killer hug after execution called off

Deputy Interior Minister Ali Abdollahi said the guards were killed in an ambush set by Iranians who were “members of hostile groups”.

Iranian authorities said they hanged 16 “rebels” held at a prison in the Sistan-Baluchestan region.

But Iran halted the execution of 26-year-old interior designer Rayhaneh Jabbari on Tuesday.

She was due to hang for the stabbing to death seven years ago of a doctor who she claimed drugged her and tried to rape her.

Under Sharia Law rape is regarded as adultery.

US Warns Citizens In Nigeria Over Security During Easter Holidays

Following the frequency of attacks in Nigeria in the past few days, the United States Department of States has warned American citizens living in Nigeria over possible attacks that might be carried out by extremists in the Northern parts of the country during the Easter celebration that will begin tomorrow through Monday.
The warning came on Wednesday, barely 48 hours after the US issued a fresh travel alert for Nigeria as a result of the bomb blast that reportedly claimed several lives and properties in Nyayan area of Abuja.
“The Government of Nigeria has declared Friday, April 18, and Monday, April 21, public holidays, and given the history of bombing attacks on weekends (some associated with holidays), as well as the recent bombing in Nyanya on April 14, the US Mission in Nigeria urges all US citizens living and travelling in Nigeria to take extra precautions for your personal security and safety”, according to a statement obtained
by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The US advised all American citizens to be particularly vigilant around churches and other places of worship, locations where large crowds may gather, government facilities, and areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travelers during the upcoming holiday weekend.
In the warning, the US noted that security measures in Nigeria remained heightened due to threats posed by extremist groups, stressing that its citizens should expect additional police and military checkpoints, additional security, and possible road blocks throughout the country during the holiday weekend.
The Department, however, recommended that US citizens travelling to or residing in Nigeria enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Travelet Enrollment Programme (STEP) which it said would give Americans the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the U.S. embassy or nearest US consulate to contact them in case of an emergency.
