30-Year-Old Randy Man Rapes Neighbour's 2-Year-Old Daughter

30-year-old man, Mr. Ama Inya-Okoro, who was arrested on July 14 by the Ebonyi state police for raping a two-year-old girl, Favour in Afikpo North Local Gov­ernment area of the state has confessed to the crime and what led him do committing it.

The suspect was alleged to have raped the two-year-old girl while she was sleeping at the corridor of the house after she returned from school, According to The Sun.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Mr. Chris Anyanwu an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), who confirmed the incident said:

“On Monday 14th July, 2014, one Ama Inya-Okoro, 30-year old man from Ubeyi development centre in Unwana, in Afikpo Council area, was arrested for defiling little girl, Favour. The girl has been taken to hospital for treatment by his father Mr. Ude, Ebeke. The suspect confessed to the crime and will be charged to court for prosecution.

“This is another disturbing trend, the issue of rape, defilement and sex related offences.

I don’t know why we have regular oc­currence in the state. The people should not leave their children especially, female ones without close watch. Just like in this case, the girl was sleeping but nobody was there with her when the suspect took the advan­tage and had access to the girl.

So, parents should be careful and monitor their girls and ensure that they don’t send them on errand alone to avoid such cases of rape. I urge the people to always ensure that they raise alarm whenever they see such act and report it to the nearest police station” he said.

Anyanwu also said the girl had been taken to hospital for medical examination and treat­ment.

The accused, Ama Inya-Okoro who admitted to raping his victim in an interview with Crime Watch gave his reason for committing the shameful act saying:

“What happened was that I went to look for job as laborer on the fateful day but could not get any job and I returned home. As I was washing my cloth I saw the girl laying down sleeping wearing only pant, I rushed and carried her and have sex with her. It was ‘conji’ that caused it and I don’t have money to go for mature girls.”

Meanwhile the victim’s father, Mr. Ude Ebeke who said his daughter had gone to school before he left home that day said he was in church when he was informed of the incident by a neighbour who called him.

He, however, said his wife had travelled that day but that his sister was at home.

Apparently Miss Stella Egwu, the victim’s Aunty who was at home explained what happened saying:

“I was in my place cooking when the little girl came back from school and after some time she went and slept at the corridor. As I was cooking in the kitchen I heard voice calling us to come and see the man that was raping the little girl, I came out and saw the man standing with the girl, sperm in her private. As we were talking people gathered and took the suspect to the village square where they called police”.

This Is How Rick Ross Looks After Loosing Over 100lbs

It seemed like it was just yesterday when fans were concerned about Rick Ross’ health. He suffered two seizures shortly one after the other last year. Even rapper 50 Cent commented on Rick Ross’ health scare in an interview with Angie Martinez, stating Hip Hop doesn’t need another loss due to being over weight, like Big Pun; “If a person has a seizure twice, they’re not really [taking care of themselves]. You can look and see he’s not conscious of his health. We lost [Big] Pun like that. I don’t wish death on nobody…It’s early age for you to be having two seizures.” Counting all that money I guess wasn’t enough for Rick Ross’. It seems as if he realized he can’t make that money, if he doesn’t have his health. After being introduced to a trainer, and learning he needed to change his diet, he realized it was time. There was no specific weight loss goal, but he knew it was time to make that change for the better; “It was just time for me to tighten up a little bit, you know what I’m saying. As far as, you know, me working out…I have no destination, no specific weight.” Recently Ross’ has been popping up doing interviews, and performing on stage looking healthier than ever! Losing an easy estimate of over 100lbs, this Maybach rapper has definitely been putting in work. He claims he doesn’t run on the treadmill for hours, he does something that he likes to call “RossFit”; “I do this sh-t called CrossFit. I call it RossFit. Earlier this summer, Reebok had introduced me to a trainer, and what he turned me onto was, let’s say, for instance, if you got on the treadmill, and you did that sh-t for 30 minutes. Yeah, you burning calories, but you could be doing something that’s burning calories and building muscle at the same time. So, it’s like you working out for a shorter time”. As for as his diet goes, he says he now incorporates healthy foods including fruit; “But now, they, they, you know, they give me fruit to eat. I forgot what fruit, you know, tasted like. I eat pears now and sh-t like that”.

Government of Ghana Disputes World Cup Fans’ Brazil Asylum Bid| Says Ghana is a Peaceful Country…

After it emerged yesterday that over 200 Ghanaian football fans suspected to be part of the 650 official supporters the Government of Ghana sponsored to the 2014 Brazil World Cup were seeking for asylum in Brazil, the Government has reacted, suggesting that the grounds for their claims are false.
Before moving on to what the Government of Ghana is saying, let me point out that—if the Government attended to the problems of Ghana with the same swiftness with which it attends to issues damaging to its reputation, the country would have been better and these people will not be seeking for asylum in Brazil.
According to the fans who have become asylum seekers in Brazil, they are Muslims who are fleeing religious conflict in Ghana.
However, the Deputy Information Minister-Felix Kwakye Ofosu has come out to say, “the basis for this alleged [asylum] request is completely false as no religious conflict is taking place in Ghana”.
He added that, “Ghana’s mission in Brazil has been instructed to liaise with the Brazilian authorities to investigate the matter”.
No doubt Ghana is a peaceful country—and this is because the citizens love peace. However, Ghana is at economic war and these Ghanaians do not want to be part of the struggling, which is tipped to get worse should the Government continue this way…
