Woman narrates how she and her daughters were raped by warlords

Posted: 05 Jun 2016 09:58 AM PDT

In the clip, the woman above named Rebecca Masika, a Congolse Human Rights Activist, narrated how some warlords dressed in military uniform, stormed her home during the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1999, stole from them, dismembered her husband and afterwards forced her to eat his penis.


The warlords then proceeded to rape her and her two daughters aged 9 and 13 who got pregnant and had babies for men who they do not know.

According to the woman, she counted 22 men raping her before she passed out. The attack left her womb destroyed.

She said she was later thrown out of her husband's house by his relatives because she refused to get married to his younger brother and also because she had no male child. She worked with a foundation that helped victims of rape. Masika died last year from Malaria and High Blood Pressure.

Africa's answer to Disney: The Secret Princess movie staring Desmond Elliot and DJ Cuppy in cinemas 24 June

Posted: 05 Jun 2016 07:57 AM PDT

The Secret Princess is a most see family film set for release in cinemas across Nigeria this month from the 24th of June. Perfect for school trips.

Children in Nigeria are too often neglected when it comes to educating with entertainment. Despite the Nigerian film industry been the 3rd largest in the world you will struggle to find any films made for children.

This is why this is one of the most important films in the history of Nollywood
with a production spanning four years and a relatively high production budget which is reflected in the quality of the movie.

The Secret Princess adapted from the book with the same title is a Tale of Sade a Princess that goes through rejection and hence has to live out her life in the jungle while in her place a farmers son lives a life of luxury as the Prince. The story brings to the fore front many delicate topics in a subtle way, with plots which include a retreat into the forest but a far cry from the true story of the Kidnapped Chibok girls, and a tale of witch accusation which has been a common occurrence in Africa for centuries and with terrible consequences such as child abandonment and child abuse; a far cry from the Disney like wicked witch mixing candies. It also deals with the inferior treatment of the female child as compared to male child.
The Secret Princess produced by TransTales Entertainment is 2016 winner of World Bank award for best feature animation film at the KingstOOn animation festival in Jamaica.

Photo: Father beats his 11 year old son to death for sleeping with his 8 year old sister

Posted: 05 Jun 2016 07:41 AM PDT

Abuja police command has arrested 34 year old Solomon, pictured above, for beating his 11 year old son, Victor, to death for sleeping with his eight year old sister at their home in Tasha Gwagwa area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The Sun reports that Solomon was angry after he discovered that his son was committing incest with his younger sister. He beat the boy with a stick until he fell unconscious. The boy was rushed to the hospital where he died...



Speaking on the incident, the distraught father said
"Victor was my son, an 11-year-old boy. I had been re­ceiving bad reports about him. The height of it was that he started sleeping with his sister, who is eight-years-old. I had been receiving several reports about the ugly incident. Around 4.00 pm, I came back from work and met Victor sleeping with his sister in my bedroom. The stepmother was not at home,".
Overcome by anger, he rushed outside, picked up a stick and beat his son severely to the point that the deceased went into convulsion and then lost consciousness the next day.

Benevolent neighbours of the family rushed him to Gwarinpa General Hospital, where he died soon after.

FCT Commissioner of Police, Wilson Inalegwu who confirmed the incident, said Solomon was arrested after the doctor who certified the little boy dead, alerted the police on the cirumstanes surrounding his death. The doctor told the police that the boy died as a result of internal injuries he sustained in the course of being beaten by his father. Solomon said he wept after the doctor informed him that his son had died
"I wept when the doctor told me that my son had died. I didn't have the intention to kill my son. I was trying to correct him because of the immoral act he committed. How can I beat my son to death? I couldn't believe what I saw. I only acted in anger; I never wanted to kill my son".
Reacting to the inident, the ‎neighbour of the bereaved father, Ali Ahmed said
"We heard when the father was beating the child. He beat him to correct him for what he did. The son was very stubborn. The father never had intention to kill his son. What the doctor did that night in the hos­pital was bad. How could he call the police to arrest the fa­ther of the dead boy? We were expecting the doctor to tell the father how to carry the corpse of his son. It is a lesson to ev­ery parent."
The FCT commissioner of police says the case would soon be charged to court.

TV personality Peace Hyde shares amazing testimony of survival

Posted: 05 Jun 2016 03:55 AM PDT

Ghanaian TV personality and Forbes West Africa correspondent, Peace Hyde, took to her instagram page on June 3rd, to share the horrible incident she went through on that day last year and how she survived and rebuilt her life. See what she wrote after the cut...



"I woke up on the morning of the 3RD JUNE 2015 not realizing that I would be hospitalized BARELY holding on to my LIFE by the end of that day. I drowned and incurred horrific injuries in the Accra floods only 12 months ago. Doctors didn't know if I would walk again, this was the day the REST of my life CHANGED. From this day last year, EVERYDAY has been a STRUGGLE physically, mentally and emotionally. But as I look at this image I regain my STRENGTH. #FaithbuilderFamily unlike so many souls we lost this time last year - I SURVIVED!!!. I forgot the long list of wishes I ask God for daily and simply asked him to just simply to "LET ME LIVE!". My injuries from the flood caused me to be hospitalized for over a month with 13 metal staples in my back and 2 metal plates, I could not WALK without assistance. I remember the lives I saw disappear around me and I am forever THANKFUL to God. As long as you have BREATH

#FaithbuilderFamily we must keep going to be the BEST we can be! Your life is not only SPECIAL but there is someone who is SURVIVING due to your STRENGTH. Because the fact that you didn't die in YOUR struggles proves that you should ALWAYS be on a journey to become BETTER!. Never forget God is ALWAYS MOVING in your life. So many times we look for God to do an earth moving miracle right before our eyes. What we need to understand is God is NOT a genie in a bottle. Just because you don't SEE IT, it doesn't mean He is not moving for YOU. Maybe He SAVED YOU from a tragedy this morning and you don't even know it. Today #Faithbuilders as we remember all the victims and families of the flood, thank God for the miracles you don't even know of. If you are LIVING then you are a MIRACLE!...#Blessed #3rdJune2015

Photos: 24-year-old Nigerian man and Thai woman nabbed in Bangkok with 8.5kg of drugs hidden in handbags

Posted: 05 Jun 2016 03:43 AM PDT

A Nigerian man and a Thai woman have been arrested after 8.5kg of crystal methamphetamine or "ice" were found stuffed into new handbags imported from China.

24-year-old Nigerian national John Anike Chinedu & Sawaros Nathawil, 34, were arrested separately in Samut Prakan and Bangkok.
 
John was arrested on Friday, June 3 while Sawaros on Thursday. Both were taken for a media briefing at the Narcotics Suppression Bureau headquarters on Saturday.

A total of 8.5kg of crystal methamphetamine hidden in 35 women's fashion handbags were seized from them.

Ms Sawaros was apprehended when she showed up to receive three parcels at a car park of a condominium building on Srinakarin Road in tambon Samrong Nua of Muang district in Samut Prakan on Thursday. The parcels contained the 35 new handbags, stuffed with drugs, said Pol Lt Gen Rewat Klinkesorn, NSB commissioner.

Her arrest came after the NSB received information from Chinese authorities in Guangzhou that they had arrested an African drug trafficking gang and seized an invoice detailing goods sent from Guanzhou to Thailand by the suspects, said Pol Lt Gen Rewat.

When the woman arrived to receive the parcels, officers asked to search them and found the drugs hidden in the linings, said the NSB chief. Authorities then extended the investigation that led to the arrest of the Nigerian suspect at a rented room in Lat Krabang on Friday. A pack of crystal meth was found stuffed in a handbag found in his room. Several handbags similar to those found in the seized parcels were also found in his room. However, those handbags had earlier been slashed.

Pol Lt Gen Rewat said he believed the two suspects might be network members of the Nigerian gang caught in China. The seized drugs were destined for sale in Bangkok and Pattaya, particularly among wealthy drug addicts, he added.

The duo have been charged with colluding in smuggling drugs into the country with intent to sell. They were held in police custody for legal action.

Photo: Couple arrested for trying to sell a 3-month-old baby

Posted: 05 Jun 2016 03:15 AM PDT

Ashley Harmon and Jonathan Flint have been charged with child neglect after trying to sell Harmon's 3-month-old baby for $500 to $1000 in West Virginia.

Deputies said the couple showed up at a neighbor's door and tried to get Carolyn Redden to buy the child. She refused, but took the child in to care for her. Redden did not want to show her face on camera, but she spoke to Eyewitness News about her efforts.

"Why have a child if you're not going to care for it?" Redden said. "Just because it is hard doesn't mean you give up on a child."

The mother ran away leaving the sick baby at Redden's home. The couple left one soiled diaper and a bottle of spoiled milk.

"I ran out and got diapers and more bottles for her," Redden said. "She was shaking, clinching her fists, crying and screaming."

The baby had diaper rash so badly and was so sick, Redden called 9-1-1. Her call to law enforcement may have saved the child's life. She gave names and descriptions to Fayette County detectives, and they were able to track down the couple and arrest them.

Captain Jim Sizemore said any case involving a child is difficult, but this case is especially rare.

"These are all of our children," Sizemore said. "I don't care what race, ethnicity or gender a child is. They are a kid. They are innocent. We will do everything we can to protect these children."

Redden's granddaughter Tonya Kessler could not wrap her head around someone putting a price on a child. However she said this baby was in the right hands.

"My grandma would do anything for anyone," Kessler said. "She is incredible. My question is, why are people like this having children? There are so many people who would love to have a baby and can't. I knew that baby was in the right hands when my grandma had her. She was well taken care of."

Fayette County deputies said Ashley Harmon has two other children she has left in another part of the state. They also said the baby's biological father had nothing to do with this. He did not know where the mother had taken the child. The baby is currently with Child Protective Services. They will decide if the biological father will get custody.
