I was only trying to help- Lady who kidnapped her boss' child



Grace John, 28, accused of kidnapping her boss' daughter, Oluwasemilore Adebiyi, 3, has said she only assisted the baby's real father to collect her. 

John was paraded at the Lagos State Police Command Tuesday alongside two other women- Rita Eze and Ugochi Nweke- alleged to be buyers of the girl.

According to the apprentice, one Samuel approached her and told her that the baby's mother, Mrs. Oluwatobiloba Adebiyi, was his lover and got pregnant for him before marrying another man. 

She claimed it was the said Samuel who took her to the woman's shop at Alagbado in January, where she later took the child and carried her to her alleged grandmother.

The child was sold to three different buyers for N500, 000 and N600, 000 before her eventual rescue in Aba, Abia State. John said: "Samuel instructed me to take her to his grandmother, Rita Eze, in Onitsha, because he is in school.

I handed over the child to Rita, and she gave me the sum of N60, 000. I never knew the child was not Samuel's and I have never thought what I did was kidnapping. I just wanted to help a man who cried to me that his child is not being properly taken care of. I have not done it before."

Corroborating John's story, Eze said she knew Samuel through an old classmate of hers, who told her they needed someone to take proper care of his child. She however stated that after taking delivery of the child, Samuel told her to sell the girl and she obliged.

She said: "Samuel told me to sell the girl which I gave to Ugochi Nweke. Ugochi gave me N500, 000. I gave Grace N60, 000 and took N40, 000. I sent the rest to Samuel. I never knew him before; I thought the child was his. 

I never knew the child was kidnapped. I only accepted to help sell the child because I needed money to pay my house rent." Nweke denied knowing the baby was kidnapped, adding that she didn't collect a dime from the deal. 

She said she accepted to buy the baby in order to help a friend of hers who couldn't conceive. Police Commissioner Fatai Owoseni said the suspects would be prosecuted at the conclusion of investigation.

By

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe Zimbabwe's main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has re-united with his former allies to forge a coalition to end President Robert Mugabe's near four-decade hold on power in elections next year. Mugabe, in power since independence from British colonial rule in 1980, has been endorsed as his party's candidate for next year's vote despite his advanced age at 93 and signs of failing health. At a rally in the capital, the opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader Tsvangirai told supporters he was joining forces with two former deputies to face down Mugabe's ZANU-PF party. "For everything else to happen we have to unite as opposition parties," Tsvangirai said. "We have travelled this journey together and we will complete it together. We are rising above this needless and unhealthy competition." In 2008, Tsvangirai beat Mugabe in the first round of voting, but lost in a run-off marred by violence and intimidat

The  Police in Lagos have warned residents of the state against subjecting suspected criminals to jungle justice. Fatai Owoseni, the state police commissioner, in a statement on Friday warned that those found involved in the "unlawful and barbaric act" would be prosecuted.   "There is no justification for jungle justice on suspected persons," Mr. Owoseni said.   "It is barbaric and uncivilized. It is a manifestation of the erosion of our moral values and a disregard to sanctity of human lives. It violates the rule of law and dents the image of the State.   "Above all, it is a violation of the law, and all those arrested in connection with the aforementioned cases will be made to face the full wrath of the law."   At least three acts of jungle justice were recorded across Lagos in the past one week, with angry residents threatening to attack security agents who attempted to stop them.   On Tuesday, two alleged kidnappers were set ablaze at Ajala Bus St

"TRUMP AN UTTERLY UNTRUTHFUL PRESIDENT AND NO ROLE MODEL" SENATOR BOB CORKER

By
Image
If President Trump's relationship with his former ally Senator Bob Corker was frayed before, it now appears to be ruptured completely. The two Republicans reignited their feud on Tuesday after the president did not take kindly to Corker's criticism of his leadership and his suggestion that Trump "stay out" of congressional negotiations over a tax bill. In a trio of television interviews, the increasingly outspoken Tennessee senator repeated his dim assessment of Trump's performance and went further than he—or any elected Republican—has gone in questioning the president's fitness for office. Calling Trump "an utterly untruthful president," Corker said he was not a role model for the nation's children and declared unequivocally that he would not support him for reelection in 2020. "He's obviously not going to rise to the occasion as president," Corker said on CNN. He accused Trump of "constant non-truth telling" and said he
