PDP blames APC for Nyanya bomb attack, releases statement

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 01:16 PM PDT

And now we are playing blame games. In statement signed this afternoon by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party condemned today's Nyanya bombing describing it as barbaric and extremely wicked and maintaining that it was politically motivated. They called APC out! So wait, politicians are playing games with people's lives? Read statement below...
"The PDP weeps. We are indeed grief-stricken. Our hearts go out to the bereaved, especially those who have been orphaned and widowed and those now deprived of their bread winners by this evil act. We share in their pain, their anguish and their loss and pray that those behind their grief must not escape justice," the party said.

"We stand by our earlier statements that these attacks on our people are politically motivated by unpatriotic persons, especially those in the APC, who have been making utterances and comments, promoting violence and blood-letting as a means of achieving political control." Continue...
"Nigerians are also aware of utterances by certain APC governors which have been aimed at undermining our security forces and emboldening insurgents against the people.
"Those who have been promoting violence through their utterances can now see the monster they have created. They can now see the end product of their comments; a country flowing daily with the blood of the innocent.
The question is; how do they feel when they see the mangled and blood-soaked bodies of their victims? How do they feel when they hear the voices of the dying and the injured?
"Of course they feel nothing. Their hearts have been hardened and they are embittered by the fact that they have been rejected by the people. They are bitter because the people have chosen to rally round the government they love and voted for; but must they chose the path of violence and bloodletting as a response to the wishes and aspiration of the people.
Urging all well meaning Nigerians to stand up and join President Goodluck Jonathan in his untiring efforts to check terrorism in the country, the PDP caution those fueling the attacks to retrace their steps, rid themselves of bitterness and desperation and seek forgiveness from God.
The party, in solidarity with the people also shelved all official engagements while praying God to grant the bereaved the fortitude to bear the loss.

Man burns girlfriend to death after she leaves him for his own son

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 09:34 AM PDT

A jealous father-of-twelve who burned his 24-year-old lover to death when she tried to leave him for his 18-year-old son has been jailed for life, UK Daily Mail reports. 
Ashley Williams, 49, hit Julie Beattie, 24, over the head with a hammer before he doused her in a mixture of petrol and diesel fuel.
She managed to stagger out of her home in flames like a 'zombie' and gasp: 'Ashley did this to me', before collapsing. She later died of horrific injuries.
Two children aged four and five witnessed the murder and became the youngest witnesses to give evidence at a murder trial. Continue...
The son, Ashley Jnr
Her sister Lucie Beattie described arriving at their south London home to see Williams put on his coat and walk out as Ms Beattie burned, screaming, behind him.

He carried out the attack in revenge because the mother of his four children was packing her bags to live with his son Ashley jnr from a previous marriage.

He claimed that he had thought he was involved in a 'water fight' and that she had been throwing the fuel at him  - but he had no idea how she actually became ignited. 

But he was convicted of murder at the Old Bailey by a jury of six men and six women.
He showed no emotion as the verdict was announced while the victim's family wept and clutched each other's hands. He was jailed for life and told he must serve minimum of 25 years before being considered for release.

Williams was married to Monica Williams and the couple had eight children together before they divorced in 1999.

He then started a relationship with Linda Beattie, the victim's mother, before he moved on to Julie.

Ms Beattie was aged only 16 when she gave birth to their first child in 2009.
The court heard that Williams became increasingly possessive and would not let his partner have a tattoo or wear revealing clothes.  

Ashley Jnr, 18, moved into the flat in Walworth, in September 2012 and began a sexual relationship with his father's girlfriend four or five months later, it was said

When Williams found out, he banned his son from having anything to do with Ms Beattie and tried to exile him from London. He threatened to 'break every bone in his body' if he refused to leave town.

On July 18 Ms Beattie and Ashley Jnr travelled to Birmingham together. 

The couple had come back to London on the day of her murder, the same day Williams had sent a number of texts, begging Ms Beattie for forgiveness.
In one message he said: 'I tried over and over with you Julie.
'I wish you nothing but the best... I'll always love you, I just showed it too late, please forgive me Julie.'
He also sent his children bizarre messages blaming them for the break up of the relationship.
In one he stated: 'When my life is done..mark these words of your father, my curse will begin.'

When Williams came home from work at 11am he locked her inside the house.
Her sister Lucie Beattie collapsed in court as she relived the moment she saw her sister emerge from the house in flames.
She said when she went to the house Ms Beattie screamed: 'He's going to kill us.'
When she returned minutes later she saw smoke billowing out of a window and ran in screaming: 'Where's Julie.'
She sobbed as she told the court: 'I pushed open the kitchen door and a lot of smoke came out.
'I saw Julie. She was in flames,' she wept.
The victim walked out of the house and rolled onto the floor before sitting down with her hands and legs out in front of her.
Witnesses said that her clothing and some of her skin was actually on fire.
Neighbours poured water on the victim and wrapped her in wet blankets while they waited for emergency services.

Williams was arrested in a park close to the home later the same day, with self inflicted injuries.
In court he claimed he was not trying to kill himself because of what had happened to the victim - but because he was upset that the fire had damaged the kitchen.

Williams, of Walworth, who had denied the charge, was convicted of murder.

Jehovah’s Witness Church members decry marriage restriction

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 09:47 AM PDT

Some members of Jehovah's Witness have come out to condemn their church's stance against them marrying outside their faith. According to Jehovah's Witness' doctrine, members of the church are to only marry themselves and not from any other Christian faith. If they do, it's seen as an act of immorality. And people who marry outside the church are usually expelled from the church and treated as non-members.

The members say this has kept them unmarried for years and in some cases, get married to members who they are not attracted to. Continue...

Confirming the church's position to PM News, an elder in the church, Elder James Etop, says the church's position is in accordance with biblical instructions. He said that if members are allowed to marry anyhow their faith would be affected. He said the teachings from other churches are different from the ones they have and so they try to protect their members from being affected. He took the case of heaven and earth teaching as an example
"For instance, there is nothing like hell fire as propagated in many churches. Hell fire was mentioned just as an illustration by Jesus Christ when He was saying the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in the Bible. If a member marries such a person who believes in such doctrines which is against the teaching of the Witness, it will definitely affect his or her faith." he said.
According to Etop, members are not literally compelled to marry one another but if they marry outside of the church, the church would not honor such a union or an invitation to the wedding ceremony.

Photo: Man kills roommate during fight over cooking pot in Lagos

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 04:25 AM PDT

A 20 year old man named Ngwuta Nweke has been arrested by men of the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly killing his roommate, Emeka James, at their apartment at Kadara slum, close to Sawmill, Ebute Metta Lagos during a fight over a cooking pot.

According to a Punch report, the incident happened on the 22nd of March 2014.

While being paraded before pressmen, Nweke said that he never intended to kill his friend. He said as they were fighting, he held James' neck and mistakenly strangled him to death. Continue...


He explains
"On the day of the incident, I had some stew in a pot and James told me to empty the pot because he wanted to make use of it. I told him that I could not pour the stew anywhere and he should be patient, but he got angry. In a fit of rage, he picked up the pot and poured the stew into a dirty container. I also got angry and we started fighting. I grabbed him from behind and as we were struggling, we both fell to the ground. When I got up, I realised that James was no longer breathing." James was quickly rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide while confirming the incident said;
"On the fateful day, around 12.30pm, Nweke strangled James who lived in an apartment at Kadara slum, close to Sawmill, Ebute Meta, during a fight over a cooking pot. The corpse has been deposited at the Mainland Hospital Mortuary, Yaba, while the matter is under investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba."
The landlord of the house said;
"I have known James since 2011 when he started living in the house. He was a good person and was very hardworking. He was a hawker, but when the state government began a clamp down of their activities, he started doing other menial jobs. I never knew anyone was living with James. It was when I was invited by the police that I saw the guy (Nweke) for the first time."
