Son Butchers Father To Death In Lagos

A boy named Arinze Agwanze reportedly butchered his father to death, after which he set the corpse ablaze to cover up his evil act.

The incident which happened at 16 Ikogba Street, Monkey Village, in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State, has left residents of the area speechless as they have no idea what transpired between father and son that led to the crime.

However a neighbour who pleaded anonymity told Daily Sun, that Arinze has always been stubborn. On the day of the incident, his father, Mr Agwanze who was suffering from stroke had sent him on an errand but instead of doing his father’s bidding, he was busy playing with his phone.

Angered over this, his father was said to have smashed the phone, an action which infuriated Arinze causing him to retaliate. He also smashed his father’s phone and as if that was not enough, he picked a cutlass which he used to inflict injuries on his father. When he realized his father was dead, he quickly set the house on fire with his father’s body still inside so as to cover up his crime. He then went into hiding to avoid the wrath of of relatives and resi­dents.

It was the flames that attracted neighbors to the scene and when they got there, they found the deceased with his skull ripped open and blood gushing out inside the burn­ing house.

True Blood Season 7 Episode 3 Recap: Shot in the Dark

True Blood concluded one of the most boring and pointless episodes in series history with a shocking death tonight:
Rest in peace, Alcide Herveaux.
The werewolf was shot and killed after coming to Sookie's rescue after one of her dumbest plans to date, sitting in a field, waiting to be taken by the infected vampires... while annoyingly talking to Bill (sitting in a tree, about 20 feet away) the entire time.
Alcide, of course, spent a majority of the past couple seasons in his own storyline and then the series quickly got him together with Sookie to conclude True Blood Season 6 and then it fast-forwarded the action six months and asked viewers to somehow buy into this relationship.
So. Yeah. Hard to say we were much infested in Alcide's life or death, especially not when he was wearing a shirt.

But at least Alcide's murder took us by surprise. At least it gave us something to talk about with friends.
The rest of True Blood Season 7 Episode 3 nearly made us fall asleep.
Lafayette and James are clearly gonna hook up. That's nice, but not connected to any other storyline or remotely suspenseful.
Tara's mom has somehow managed to be more annoying than her daughter, while the reverend seems to be a kind guy and all - while coming across as utterly useless abd time-consuming on screen.
Eric somehow escaped death when the sun hit him (will that ever be explained), only to contract Hep V (will that ever be explained?) and then tonight we were treated to a VERY long flashback in which we learned he chose to save the life of Pam over some French woman named Sylvie in 1986.
See, he had upset The Authority by not acting covert enough in his lovemaking and the corporation behind Tru Blood wasn't happy. So they flew to France and forced Eric to choose between his progeny and his girlfriend. He chose Pam.
Why was this brought up now? Why did it cause Eric essentially give up on life after all these years? We have no idea.
But those suicidal thoughts vanished as soon as he learned Sarah Newlin is still alive. We met her at some spiritual retreat and watched as those same corporation bad guys killed her lover after he refused to divulge here whereabouts.
Sort of interesting? We guess? Sigh... this show is dying a very slow and very, very painful death.

There have been plenty of occasions, of course, where Rihanna has gone topless in a far more racy manner. Here are some examples of her doing so:

Why I’m Angry With Gov. Okorocha + I’m Also A Buddhist- Charly Boy

Charly Boy has explained to Vanguard’s Benjamin Njoku why he is angry with Imo State Governor, Gov. Rochas Okorocha and why he insisted politicians shouldn't try to politicize his father’s burial. He also explained why he stopped being a man servant at a catholic church after 20years and now a Buddhist.

You gave your father a befitting burial. How did it go?

Everything went fine. We give God the glory. I feel a sense of relief now. Relief, because the troubles associated with burial arrangements have been over. The stress has reduced.

I quit smoking for over five years now,  but I started smoking again about three weeks ago because I was running mental, preparing for my father’s rites of passage.

I have had this discussion with him almost a year ago when I asked him how he would want to be buried and what would be his expectations. He replied saying that ‘ I know that no matter what I tell you now, it would end up being the Charly Boy show. Even at that, I would be happy but all I would say is this: don’t spend too much money.’

This is because he was a simple man nature. My father was always worried concerning how I do things because I have never done things in small measure. I thank God for his mercies that I was ready for this, mentally and spiritually. Though I would have wished that God had given us more time, but that is the reality of life. I am happy that I am able to give my father a befitting burial.

Were you happy with the way the burial was organised?

Nothing good comes easily. I delegated duties and that was what helped me. But to a large extent, as an event organiser, I would give myself a pass mark.

Were you satisfied with the level of state and federal governments’ participation in the burial?

I set out to bury my father without expecting anything from anybody.That was why I had kept saying, after my father’s death, that we are going to be responsible for his burial rites. We  fixed the date by ourselves and I wasn’t relying on anybody for anything. But if anybody wants to be part of the burial arrangement ,there’s no problem.

But it made headlines last Saturday that you snatched the microphone from Owelle Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State, at the funeral service. What informed your action?

I didn’t embarrass him. You can believe anything you read from the dailies. But I can’t go out of my way to embarrass anybody. I only insisted that I wouldn’t tolerate people with bad political breath to preside over my father’s burial rites. The corpse belonged to the Oputa family, and not the state or federal government.

Being Charley Boy, my action creates a lot of controversies. I am not a politician and I can never be one.

I don’t do things the way every other person would want to do them. My own things are bound to be a little different. Integrity is my watchword and when I give you my word, you can go to sleep. I expect same from people who deal with me. I didn’t understand why somebody would graciously choose to assist us by making a donation to the family  and thereafter, they went on air to announce it.  That  was not a gentleman action and it was what really angered me.

Secondly, three days after my father’s death, I sounded a note of warning that it won’t turn to a political thing. You know the kind of father I had, and what he stood for. I don’t want them to politicise his burial rites. After they made the donation, and I never denied that they didn’t give us money. But I was embarrassed that they were announcing it over the radio and in the pages of newspapers.

If you are doing something with the family, first of all, we are the chief mourner, as well as Governor Rochas Okorocha, but it would be proper that they confide in the family in whatever they were planning to do in respect of the burial rites. If there is something we can bring to the table to enhance it, then it would be to the credit of the governor. But he didn’t do that and they were all shifty. We didn’t know what they were planning, they didn’t care to know what we were planning.

We learnt  Okorocha paid you a visit at your place?

How can he visit my place when he has my telephone number? He should know I don’t reside here (in the village) and I have not returned home. It’s just a phone call, ‘Charles where are you? And I would tell him where I am. After all, he’s always in Abuja. What stopped him from putting a call across to me?

If he doesn’t know how to reach me even a truck pushers have my number, how much more the governor of a state?  If  he has a desire to contact anybody, he will do so with ease. How could he embark on a  journey to a place he is not familiar with?  These are the things we are talking about.

He didn’t deem it necessary to contact the bereaved family that he was paying us a condolence visit  before embarking on the journey. And when he came, he talked to one  ‘village boy’ who claimed to be representing the family. What’s all that rubbish for?

Was it what informed your action at the funeral service?

First of all, I am not a church goer. I am a Buddhist, though I was born into the Catholic doctrine. And part of my reason for not going to church is the fact that I have been to a lot of churches. For the first 20 years of my life, I was a mass servant. I was an ‘altar boy’ because my father was a disciplinarian.  If you don’t go to morning mass, you are bound to be in trouble.

I did all that for 20 years, and that’s the kind of background I was coming from. But things have changed regarding the mode of worship in most churches. They spend more time than necessary. Why should we be praying for two to three hours non-stop? I have other things to do.  At the funeral service, I was told that Mr. President’s representatives and other dignitaries have arrived my home town.

Unfortunately, one of my legs was paining me, and that was why, if you were in church that day, I was sitting down throughout. People didn’t understand why I was sitting down. I couldn’t stand up for too long. Now, we have spent about two to three hours in the church. We couldn’t afford to give all the politicians that attended the funeral rites the opportunity to pay tribute to my late father. I felt the only person who should deliver a speech was Mr. President’s representative.

At that point, I was so stressed and tired. All I wanted was to commit my father’s remains into the mother earth. So, I insisted, as  the eldest son  of Justice Oputa, I decide how things were going to be done. At that point, I said please, no more talk, it’s too much, let one person speak so we can go and finish the business. That was what happened but you know people will misinterpret it. That is their business, not mine.

Rita Dominic Reveals What She Does To Remain Popular (Please Read)

Nollywood is more or less like Hollywood to many countries in the African continent, and this fast rising Nigerian film industry is seen as the trailblazer. Movie stars from Nigeria are honoured and celebrated whenever they step into any African country.

For Nollywood star, Rita Dominic, the Nigerian movie industry is big because of the simple way stories are told in films.

She made this revelation while in Mauritius, where she went recently along with other movie stars like Majid Michel and Chinedu Ikedieze, better known as Aki.

According to her, “why Nollywood became is big is because we tell very simple stories. Stories that anyone in the world can relate with and I think that has given us that name and recognition.”

Rita also stated that she does not get used to people admiring her work as an actress, stating that she takes every compliment as it comes and ensures that she does better jobs because, according to her, it helps in artiste’s popularity.

“I don’t get used to people telling me they are my big fans. As they always say, you are as good as your last job and you might do a job that the public may not like, and your popularity starts going down (at that moment). I just take every day as I see it. So, I never get used to anything. What I do is to get better as an actor and try to improve on my talent,” she explained.

We Do Not Worship Idols Like Most People Think- Catholic Bishop Clarifies

The Catholic Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Most Rev. Hilary Paul Okeke has made it clear while speaking at the Feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help/Parish Day Celebration of Saints Michael, Rapheal and Gabriel Catholic Church in Lagos that the church does not worship Mary and other saints, that what they do is to venerate Mary, being the mother of Jesus Christ.

“We do not worship idols as most people think. Those who lack understanding of the word of God equate our worship for the one true God with support from images and symbols as idolatry. We worship God, worship Jesus Christ and we honour Mary and the Saints. Their images in churches and homes before us represent holiness, sacraments and signs of their presence in our life.

“Let us venerate Mary, Mother of perpetual help for in venerating her, we are going to Jesus Christ. Let us have her images in our individual homes as it will draw us to holiness, remember our vocations, her images will draw us closer to Christ and do whatever Jesus Christ commands us to do,” the bishop added.

 “We need Mary to help us to overcome in whatever we do, to overcome various challenges in our families, marital and extra marital co-affairs and sex, polygamy, same sex union, divorce and suffering homes. Young ladies need Mary in order not to forsake their Catholic faith by marrying outside the church”, he said.

PHOTO: Couple kills son over sex

THE MILE 7 Police have arrested a couple who allegedly beat their eight-year-old son to death on suspicion that he was a warlock who wanted to have sex with his mother The couple, after committing the heinous act, according to the police, secretly buried the boy in an abandoned dumping site near their house at Dome, a suburb of Accra. The suspects are Comfort Tene Abunbero, 26, a trader, and her husband Michael Kweku Obeng, 27, unemployed. They have been provisionally charged with the offence of abetment of crime and murder by the police and would be prosecuted soon. Facts Briefing DAILY GUIDE, DSP Henry Agbeve, the Mile 7 District Crime Officer, said the incident occurred in June at Dome near Achimota, but the case was reported on Thursday, July 3, 2014. Juliana Abunbero, mother of Comfort Abunbero, visited the station together with a man whom she claimed was her son to report that her own daughter Comfort Abunbero had conspired with her husband Michael Obeng to kill her grandson Robert. Madam Juliana said she did not understand circumstances under which the child died so she wanted the police to investigate the matter. Findings The Mile 7 Crime Officer said the police immediately apprehended the couple and upon interrogation they realized that the child was buried the same night he died. The couple initially told the police that the boy, Robert Abunbero, fell ill and died. Further investigations however revealed that the couple beat up the child until he died last month. On the night the child died, investigations revealed that he vomited after eating his evening supper. The mother, Comfort, bathed the boy and consequently asked him to go pick up a particular clothing to wear for the night since the weather was very cold. The deceased apparently went into his things but could not find that particular dress he was asked to pick. When Robert reported to the mother that he could not find the clothes, Comfort, in anger, went into the things to pick that dress after which she subjected the boy to severe beatings for refusing to look further for the dress. The husband, Michael Obeng, in the process, asked the boy to kneel down and raise the arms but the deceased refused. In anger, Michael Obeng also subjected the boy to severe kicks and beatings until the latter collapsed. The couple poured water on the boy to revive him but all to no avail. After realizing that the boy had died, the two wrapped him in one of their bed sheets, and carried him that night around 10:00pm to a nearby bush which used to be a dumping site. They then buried the boy there, and to avoid suspicion spread refuse on the grave before leaving. Later when the grandmother asked the whereabouts of the child, the two gave conflicting statement of his death, prompting the grandmother to inform the police. Daily Guide Findings by the paper indicated that the couple always subjected the boy to severe beatings on suspicion that he was a warlock who wanted to have sex with his mother. It was gathered that the parents had complained to whoever cared to listen that the deceased had a penchant for pulling on the cover-cloth of his mother whenever she was asleep. For this reason the boy was always subjected to severe beatings at the least provocation on the allegation that he was possessed by an evil spirit. The boy, who is a step son to suspect Michael Obeng, was initially residing with the grandmother Juliana Abunbero in Naaga in the Upper East Region before the mother requested that he was brought down to continue with his education. Consequently, Robert was sent down in May this year by the grandmother to his mother at Dome. The couple, who have three children together, allegedly said they suspected the boy to be a wizard because sometimes he behaved strangely and when he was beaten or subjected to torture, he hardly shed tears. They also accused the little boy of pulling his own manhood anytime he was alone or with his other siblings. Information gathered by DAILY GUIDE also revealed that because of the torture the little boy was subjected to, he was hardly seen outside the house anytime the parents were at home.
