Shocking: Lebanese man arrested for kidnapping his aunty in Lagos

A 23 year old Lebanese man has been arrested by police in Lagos for kidnapping his 61 year old aunt, Alhaja Essa Dannawi. Mohammed Dannawi (pictured above) conspired with a former employee of his aunt, Obi Kwentua, (pictured above) to kidnap the woman on May 2nd at her home in Ebute Meta, Lagos.

Mohammed, who later confessed to the crime, told police during interrogation that he didn't kidnap his aunt because of money but to punish her because she offended him and his wife. He said:

“My aunty did something very bad to my wife and I and so I decided to punish her. I met with Obi (Kwentua) and told him that I wanted my aunty kidnapped. I gave him the spare key to her house and he in turn hired some boys to do the work. On the day of the operation, I left the house and five guys stormed the place and took my aunty away. The plan was not to demand money from her, it was just punishment.” www.uwillcgossip.com

After the kidnapping, the kidnappers demanded N100m ransom from the woman's family but later agreed to collect N4m. It was during negotiations with the kidnappers that Mohammed confessed to being behind the kidnap and with his co-operation the police were able to arrest one of the suspects, Obi Kwentua when he came to collect the N4million ransom from relatives of the victim at Rita Lori Hotel in Surulere.

Essa Dannawi was later released while Mohammed and Kwentua were arrested. Don't you think he should also be arrested?

Eminem Drag Facebook To Court

The popular social networking site Facebook has been hit with a lawsuit from Eminem and his publishing company Eight Mile Style LLC due to what is believed to be the unlawful use of the Detroit rapper and D12’s collaboration “Under The Influence.”

According to AllHipHop.com, the lawsuit states that Facebook posted a Wieden + Kennedy ad, which promoted their new Facebook Home app and in the ad the music used is believed to be “Under The Influence.” An altered version of the ad was then released, but according to the lawsuit the edit was then taken as Facebook’s acknowledgement of the unapproved use of Eminem and D12’s song.

“The alteration of the Airplane advertisement was an admission that Facebook knew it had infringed on the Eminem/D12 Composition,” states the lawsuit. www.uwillcgossip.com

Ironically, Eminem’s lawsuit states that Facebook and Wieden + Kennedy’s response to the cease and desist order, which was initially placed, called out Dr. Dre although the mega-producer did not produce or have any involvement with “Under The Influence.”

“Counsel falsely and wrongfully alleged that Andre Young, professionally known as Dr. Dre, composed ‘Under the Influence,’” read the lawsuit. “Yet, a simple Internet search of the Eminem/D12 Composition would have revealed that ‘Under the Influence’ was composed by Marshall Mathers, III, and members of D12, including Denaun Porter, Von Carlisle, Ondre Moore, R. Arthur Johnson, and DeShaun Holton. Dr. Dre likewise did not produce ‘Under the Influence.”

At this time, Eminem and Eight Mile Style LLC are suing Facebook and the company that created the ad for $150,000 per infringement.

"I can’t find jobs for my daughtersa and They have been at home" - El-Rufai

Former Federal Capital Territory minister, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, on Thursday bemoaned the spate of unemployment in the country, saying despite his connections, he had yet to secure jobs for his two daughters, who are both holders of Masters Degrees.

El-Rufai said this while delivering a lecture at the Sixth Annual Alao Aka-Bashorun Lecture, organised by the Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja Branch.

The former minister, whose lecture was entitled Impunity, Injustice and Insecurity: What Role for the Law,’ said Nigeria needed to create three million jobs yearly to tackle its employment problem.

He said, “Forty-two per cent of Nigerian youths are unemployed.

“I have two daughters with Masters Degrees and they are unemployed. They have been at home for more than a year and I cannot get a job for them.

“We are sitting on a demographic time bomb and unless we have visionary leaders that are able to plan for the future, we will have a huge problem.”

According to him, the Nigerian government is spending N2bn daily on security, instead of investing in infrastructure and human capital development.

El-Rufai queried the N100bn Amnesty Programme of the Federal Government, saying it had not solved the problem of pipeline vandalism and oil theft in the Niger Delta region.

He said, “Our oil production output is at its lowest since 2009 as a result of oil theft and closure of facilities by oil companies.

“That is why the government is borrowing more than ever and dipping into the nation’s foreign reserves.”

The former FCT minister added that granting amnesty to people who take up arms against the state would not solve the problem of insecurity in Nigeria.

“Even if you grant amnesty to Boko Haram, without addressing the fundamental issues such as lack of opportunities, poverty and social injustice, it will not solve the problem,” he said.

Also speaking at the event, Prof. Akin Oyebode, advocated life imprisonment for corrupt public officials as a way of reducing the high incidence of corruption in the country.

His lecture was entitled, ‘Corruption and Insecurity in the Society: What Role for the Law?’

"I Don't Need To Strain Myself With Women, God Gave Me The Wisdom To Handle Them" – Singer KC

Handsome Kingsley Okonkwo definitely needs no introduction to Nigerian music lovers. He is one of the duo that made up the moribund KC Presh.

The Anambra State-born musician, popularly known as the Okpekete master is now waxing stronger as a solo act.

KC’s latest love single ‘Limpopo’ which came out with a fancy, flashy and flamboyant video has infiltrated into the hearts and lips of many and has gradually become a national anthem.

In a brief chat with Sunday Express, the cheerful dude who walked down the aisle with Cynthia Ijeoma Oduah, three years ago, squealed that that marriage has painfully packed up.

However, he has moved on with his thriving music career. He also revealed his plans for the future, relationship with Ebube Nwagbo among other germane issues.

What inspired your hit song, Limpopo, which is currently making waves?
Well, it is same thing that has been inspiring all my other songs and that’s God. I was in the studio and the idea just struck me, I worked on it and it turned out great.  I just thank God for His inspiration.

Are we expecting more of that?

Yes of course. I am still doing my studio works; recording. More are yet to come where Limpopo and Okpekete came from. Before the end of the year, my full album will be dropping.

In the album, I have already featured about five artistes but would be featuring more great artistes for the full album.  For the sake of surprises, I wouldn’t want to mention names. It is going to be a shocker. It is best left in the coolers until then.

I like pushing myself, my hard work and luck. I believe that in few years from now, I would have achieved greater things with my life. I want to carve a great niche in the entertainment industry worldwide.
I want to make very big impacts. Something that I will always be remembered for in years to come.

Talking about collabos, do you intend doing a song or songs with your one time partner and friend; Presh?

Emm, I can’t really say for now. But something like that might come up in near future. I just can’t say.

What is your relationship with him like currently?

We are fine and cool. We are still brothers. And that’s it.

So many people have given meanings to that word ‘Limpopo’, but coming from you the ‘Limpopo master, what does it mean?

Limpopo means let us enjoy and have fun. Make we go Limpopo simply means, let us forget our worries and just have fun.

You seem to be more of a traveler these days, any surprise package coming up?

Well, I am still based here in Nigeria but I travel out more often. We go out for business purposes. You know, we need to make things happen here and there.

How about your family?

Well, my father is late but my mother is still very much alive and kicking. My siblings are all doing well in their respective areas in life. They are all having fun and praying for me. In fact, we all pray for one another.

That’s good to know, but I mean your immediate family; your wife and son. It has been long we heard about them?

Well, I don’t know about that. I just don’t know what you are talking but for now, I am married to my career.  Every other thing belongs to the past and I am moving ahead. I don’t know about anything about wife, my love and wife is my music.

What is your relationship with Ebube Nwagbo now?

Hmm! You people have started again. I don’t have anything to say about that.

You seem to be a very busy person, how then do you relax?

Well, I do that with my music. Whenever I am in the studio I feel so relaxed. My life is all about music.

Do you have any regrets or something you wish you can change about yourself?

No, I don’t think so. I love the way I am. I just want to change nothing. If I have a second chance to come back to this world again, I still want to be like this. Just the way I am now.  I love my life. It is so simple.

Is KC really a snob and pompous person?

Well, that is what some people say and I believe. But I am not. Those who know me from the inside know that I am so cool and down to earth.  Today, one man met me somewhere; he was staring at me for a while. Later he walked up to me and said he has been in the country for a while and he has also seen me at different occasions. He also confessed to be humbled with the way I behave and relate with others.

Surprisingly, the man gave me a cheque just to show me how happy he was to see a Nigerian celebrity of my status in such a meek manner.

It goes a long way to tell me that pomposity doesn’t pay. But just being your real self will earn you a lot more respect and good things. You just don’t know who is watching. I am who I am; I don’t fake my life at all.

Have you ever been embarrassed by simply being yourself?

No, not all. I haven’t had such experience.

How about on stage, have you ever had an embarrassing moment on stage before?

Yeah! That was way back then. When I was still with Presh. We went for a show in Ajegunle, but we ended up been booed and stoned out of the stage.

They threw us their shoes, sachet water and whatever they could lay their hands on. It was very bad and so annoying. But now I look back at those moments and I just laugh. I thank God that he has made us prove them wrong.  We are now better and repackaged.

What are those ever green moments you can’t forget during your growing up days?
I grew up here in Nigeria, Ajegunle to be precise. We had a Christian home. I was a very good boy then (laughs).  There was nothing spectacular that happened then. Life just went on and on, here we are today making progress.

What has fame deprived you of?
I miss my regular road side food. My mum used to have a restaurant in Ajegunle. It was more like a ‘mama put’. So I used to go to Boundary market to buy the meat and other ingredients. I just love eating the normal local foods but there is a limit to that now.

So what is your best food?
Hmm! I love pounded yam and Nsala soup. Do you have it here? I don’t mind eating it right here and now oh. (laughs)

You are a ladies’ man, how do you handle sexual advances from the opposite sex?
We have been controlling them and we will keep doing just that as long as we remain in the industry. I don’t need to stress myself over women. God naturally gave us (men) the wisdom and idea on how to handle women.  We are managing the situation well (laughs)

Update: 2nd Woolwich killer known as Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale

The other Woolwich killer has been identified as Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, southeast London (Pictured left). Like Michael Adebolajo, he's also a British citizen of Nigerian descent, though not much is known about his family.

More info about Michael Olumide Akinbiyi Adebolajo (pictured right). He was born on December 10, 1984, at Kings College Hospital in Lambeth, South London. His Nigerian-born father, Anthony Adebolajo was a student at the time, and went on to become an NHS nurse. www.uwillcgossip.com

His mother, Tina, the niece of a university law professor in Benin, West Africa, was a housewife but she too dedicated herself to public duty by becoming a social worker. He has three younger siblings: a brother named Jeremiah and two sisters named Blessing and Christiana.

Michael was born into a Christiam family but embraced Islam around the age of 16. He attended the University in Greenwich, South-East London, and was once locked up for violent behavior.

Update:

Michael Adebolajo was so high profile he was photographed outside Paddington Green police station six years ago behind notorious hate preacher Anjem Choudary.

He was even intercepted by officials as he attempted to travel to Somalia to fight alongside Islamist terrorists last year.

It also emerged that Adebolajo was a violent ex-prisoner who was a member of a banned terrorist group.

Incredibly, he was said to have been preaching jihad on the streets of Woolwich earlier this week, only a few hundred yards from where 25-year-old Army Drummer Lee Rigby – a married father – was beheaded.

As MI5 faced accusations that they let the men slip through the net, David Cameron ordered a full intelligence review by a Westminster committee.

Sources confirmed that 28-year-old Adebolajo once served a jail sentence for violence

Pregnant woman, husband, sell unborn baby for N200,000

A 23-year-old pregnant woman caused a stir at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters on Thursday after she confessed that she had sold her unborn baby for N200,000, in advance.

The suspect, Adaeze Mba, who was arrested for conniving with her husband to sell their neighbour’s four-year-old son for N400, 000, said it was poverty that pushed them to crime. www.uwillcgossip.com

She confessed that she and her husband, Chibueze, had sold two other children for N700, 000.

She said, “In March 2013, my neighbour’s son, Stanley Ezeaka, was following me about in the compound at Jakande Estate and it was at that time that my husband received a phone call from his partner that she needed a child for sale. My husband then suggested that we took Stanley even though he was a bit old.

“We travelled to Imo State the following morning and sold him for N400, 000 after  which we relocated to Calabar.”

When asked why she took to crime and how she would feel if someone bought her own children, she said, “I am seven months pregnant and as I speak to you, my husband has already sold our unborn baby for N200, 000.

“I was against it but he convinced me to agree to it, saying he had already collected the money.”

When asked about the other children she and her husband had sold, she said, “The male child was sold at N400,000 while the female child, who was two months old but is now over a year old, was sold at N300,000.”

Chibueze on his part, said he went into the business last year. He said he had sold ‘only’ three children to his business partner, Benedicta Ogbonna, and maintained that the children were in turn sold to caring parents and not ritual killers.

He said, “One of the children was born by a mentally challenged woman; so I have committed no crime by selling the child to people who would take care of her.”

Ogbonna, who bought the three children from Chibueze and his wife at different times, said she sold children to bAREEN.

She said, “I am doing this business for humanitarian reasons and not for monetary gain. I am 35 years old and I have four children. I can never sell my own children and in fact my husband does not know I am into this kind of business.

“Chibueze brought Stanley to me and told me that his mother was a prostitute so he sold him to me at N400, 000. I then sold Stanley to Mrs. Patricia Anibogwu for N600,000. So far, I have sold only three children. I buy boys at N400, 000 and girls at N300,000.

“I use the money to take care of people and also invest it in my business. I sell shoes for a living at Anambra Wholesale Market.”

Anibogwu, who was the final buyer, said she thought Ogbonna was an employee of an orphanage. She said she bought Stanley because she was lonely having lost her husband.

She said amid tears that, “I was married for 28 years without a child. After my husband died, I decided to adopt the child because I was lonely. Someone introduced me to Ogbonna. Ogbonna told me she worked at an orphanage and would sell Stanley to me for N600, 000.

“I used my savings to pay for him and she brought Stanley to a roadside. I took Stanley home and started taking care of him like my own child. I changed his name to Uchenna. Ogbonna promised me that she would give me legal documents later but, unfortunately, I was arrested.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, urged parents to be vigilant and also advised childless women to go through the formal process of adoption rather than buying children.

She said, “In March 2013, one Caleb Ezeaka reported at Ilemba Hausa Police Division that his son, Stanley, had gone missing the previous day, adding that he was last seen with his neighbour, Adaeze Mba. All efforts to reach the neighbour proved abortive as she and her husband had disappeared and their phones were switched off.

“Through investigations, we traced them to Calabar and they confessed that they had sold him at N400,000 to one Benedicta Ogbonna. We traced Ogbonna to Anambra who then said she had sold him to Patricia Anibogwu for N600,000. So we arrested them all.

“Adaeze and her husband, Chibueze, confessed that they had sold three children to Ogbonna and they were also rescued. One of the children was sold when she was three months old and she is now a year and three months old.”

Boko-Haram Leader, Shekau, Opens Facebook Profile

The leader of the terrorist Islamic sect, the so called Imam, Abubakar Shekau, has opened a facebook page where he communicates and exchanges messages with his friends. In his facebook page, Shekau has denied that Boko Haram collected any ransom to free Alhaji Skettima Munguno, the octogenarian former minister of petroleum that was kidnapped by the sect last month.

Also, as the emergency rule declared in some states but harder, Shekau posted some photos of persons suspected to be his Islamic fighters.

It is rather surprising that Shekau, whose group believes that Western Education is haram, is benefiting from Social Media, by having a Facebook profile. Apparently Facebook is not haram in Boko Haram's mind.

Nah wah oh.
