Facts have emerged on how a 20 year old undergraduate of Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Chitere Okoronkwo, allegedly murdered her ex-lover, Johnmark Osigwe, in cold blood after receiving N7m compensation from him.

According to P.M.EXPRESS reports that the late Osigwe, 24, reportedly jilted Chitere for another lady and in order to pacify her, he paid her the money as compensation.

However, the money did not assuage Chitere to change her mind and spare Osigwe as she reportedly arranged with an assassin and Osigwe was murdered.

Chitere was later apprehended by the Police in connection with the death of her ex-boyfriend, Johnmark Osigwe and she is currently undergoing interrogation in Police custody.
This was confirmed by the Commissioner of Police in Imo State, Dasuki Galadanchi, who said investigations by the Police showed that Chitere and Johnmark were lovers and after they fell out she allegedly masterminded his killing and afterwards fled to South Africa.

“When their relationship got sour and ended, the girl demanded compensation. The deceased, due to persistent threats to life before being assassinated had paid N1.8m for shop rent and N2m for interior decoration of the shop to the estranged girlfriend. Not done with the threats, she demanded N3m, which the deceased gave through a lawyer. Before the money was finally paid to the lady, he was murdered inside his Mercedes SUV.
“After his death, the lady fled to South Africa. The suspect, Chitere Okoronkwo, has confessed that she told a guy that she wanted the victim dead due to their misunderstanding.”
The Police Boss said investigations are currently going on and that the suspect would be charged to Court soon after the conclusion of the investigations.

The suspect may spend the rest of her life in prison or hanged if she is tried before the Court and found guilty of murder as the Police had alleged and she had confessed to have committed.

A cleric, Pastor Segun Agbaaraojo, has finally destroyed his marriage after his wife, Adeola, reportedly caught him pants down having sex with a married Church member in his office in Lagos.

According to reports , Mrs. Adeola has filed a suit before the Family Court in Epe, Lagos, asking the Court to dissolve the marriage which had produced four children and three are adults.

An embittered Mrs. Adeola Agbaraojo, while presenting the ground of seeking for divorce, narrated her experience of catching her husband pants down with one of his Church members on 13th March, 2020. She told the Court to dissolve her marriage with her husband, Segun, because of his high level of infidelity and betrayal despite the fact that Segun Agbaraojo is the pastor of a Church.

When the Court asked him about the wife’s allegation, Segun confessed to have engaged in the bad act when the wife caught him before his counsel, Barr. Ojoolape, prayed the Court to have mercy on his client, as his client might have been tempted to indulge in such act.

But Mrs. Adeola Agbaraojo, already with four kids, said she can no longer live with Pastor Agbaraojo because he betrayed the trust she had in him before they got married some years back.

The presiding Judge, Justice Mobolape Idowu, gave an order for the woman to take the youngest kid into custody but allowed the eldest be taken care of by the father as he cannot be denied the paternity of the child. But the Justice said the kids can be seen by their father whenever he so wished.
The Court also ordered him to pay a fine of N1,000,000 to his wife or be sentenced to three months in Correctional facility as damages to the wife’s image.
The children were said to be allowed to choose whoever they want to follow out of their mother or father as they were already grown.
Family members in attendance could not but cry as they witnessed the end of the marriage in their presence.

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday received briefing in respect of the Economic Impact of COVID-19 from Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed and others at the State House, Abuja.

Also at the meeting were the Minister of State, Petroleum, Timipre Sylva; Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele and the Group Managing Director,. GMD, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Mele Kyari.

The Lagos State COVID-19 Taskforce, mandated by the State Government to monitor and enforce compliance against public gatherings exceeding 25 people, was on Tuesday attacked by some Muslim worshippers at the Agege Central Mosque.

Speaking on the incident, the General Manager, Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) and leader of the Taskforce, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe condemned the attack and described it as barbaric and uncalled for, saying “our people are out to protect the residents of the State and yet were attacked for doing their jobs”.

She stated that the State Government will not hesitate to sanction violators to serve as a deterrent to others, adding that it was obvious the gathering did not comply with the directive of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on public gathering and social distancing.

According to her, Taskforce team COVID-19, comprising of Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), Lagos Safety Commission and the Rapid Response Squad, saw the Muslim faithful observing their evening prayer (Solatul Eshai) in a large congregation, contrary to the directive on total lockdown to stem the tide of the COVID-19 pandemic in the State.

“However, a drama ensued when some of the Muslim youths sighted the team and became aggressive, unruly and started to attack the team. Others in the mosque, numbering about 300 rushed out chanting ALLAHU AKBAR and joined them in the attack by throwing stones at the vehicles. All entreaties to talk to the Imam failed as the youth were persistent. But the Police escort rose to the occasion by curbing further attacks and ensuring the safety of the team”, she disclosed.

Fasawe revealed that the Agency has been enjoying support and compliance from religious houses and was surprised that the congregation of a mosque that was visited last week could default and also attack government officials trying to enforce compliance.

In her words, “The team has visited several places of worship and have been able to enlighten them and advocate the social distancing approach in all gatherings. But in this instance, the mosque was filled to capacity. The essence of social distancing is to curtail the spread of Coronavirus. The people are endangering their lives and those of their neighbours”.

While noting that the State Government remains committed to protecting all residents, Dr. Fasawe promised to escalate the matter to appropriate quarters because such gathering should not be allowed to continue in the interest of all.

In his own remark, the Director-General, Lagos State Safety Commission and Co-Leader of the Taskforce, Mr. Lanre Mojola observed that the leadership of the two prominent religious organisations in the State had been adequately sensitised and carried along in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

“But we won’t relent, we will continue to appeal to our people to heed advice. Prayers can be observed at home, businesses can be resuscitated but this deadly virus is dangerous if not well managed and timely controlled. If not for us, but for our families, friends and neighbours, let us do the needful and observe safety measures at all times,” he added.

Majola, therefore, implored all Lagosians to comply fully with the directive as the present administration will not hesitate to apply the law when necessary.

Recall that the Lagos State Special Taskforce on COVID-19 was recently inaugurated by the State Government to enforce the executive orders toward curtailing the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic.

A woman has been rescued after she jumped into the Osun River in Osun State in a bid to commit suicide over hunger occasioned by total lockdown of the state due to coronavirus pandemic.

Abdul-Wasiu Ismail, an eyewitness said the woman claimed to have jumped into the river because of hunger after separating from her husband

The woman is said to have three children whom she said she could not cater for because of her plight.

She was, however, rescued by good Samaritans.
