Shocking: Kenyan Man Burnt His Wife Of 2 Years For Being Too Beautiful!
Janet and John got married in 1999 and bore him a son the next year. In 2002, she gave birth to their second and in 2005, their third. Then the side of her husband she didn’t know existed began to emerge. After a year of separation, Janet came back to work in Nairobi as a trader. John burnt his wife’s hands and entire body, disfiguring her body.
The police advised her to report him to the authorities if she ever saw him again. John was given a ten-year jail term, which ends in three years. According to prison guards, John today is a changed man and because of his good conduct, he might be released early. Domestic violence still remains one of the least convicted crimes in Kenya and no one really wants to discuss it, whether it’s against the man or woman.
Former Nigerian diplomat in court for allegedly demanding sex from female colleague
From UK Daily Mail
A doctor and former diplomat grabbed a female colleague from behind and thrust himself towards her before exposing himself and suggesting she performed a sex act, a tribunal heard. Dr Chukwuma Igbokwe, 46, also asked the woman for sex on his desk, it has been claimed.
The former Consul to the UK of the Republic of Niger is accused of bullying and harassing his junior colleague in his role as director of St Luke’s Healthcare group. Vanessa Turley, 42, was allegedly subjected to an ‘onslaught of sexual innuendo’ and verbal abuse when she worked with Igbokwe at a private hospital in Ebbw Vale, south Wales, between March 2008 and July 2010.
She told the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service how she quit her job and took legal action to stop Igbokwe when she realised she may not be his only victim.
'It was just never ending with him,’ she said giving evidence.
'I thought he’s got to stop this. People came to me and said it was happening to them.
'I thought "when is this guy going to stop".
'The only person who had enough evidence to go forward was myself.'
Referred to as 'Mrs A' during the current proceedings, she told the panel she felt the police did not take her seriously when she complained, but was vindicated when she won an employment tribunal against her former bosses last year.
She said: 'It was never about the money. It was about proving to people what he was like as a person and what he put me through.'
She added: 'I was trying to stop him doing it to other females because in my eyes he had no respect at all no matter what your position in the company. It was a conquest.'
Igbokwe was not present or represented at a fitness to practise hearing in Manchester where he could be struck off the medical register if the string of misconduct allegations against him are proved.
One of the charges relates to a 'Mayor’s ball' held in his honour in his role as Niger’s Consul to the UK in November 2009 when he made a sexual innuendo towards her.
After the incident he then quizzed her in the tea room at St Luke’s about why she had told people what he had said, the hearing was told.
On another occasion, on April 9, 2010, Igbokwe is said to have called her into his office and held her hips from behind.
He then thrust himself against her, told her to sit down, exposed his privates and gestured to her to perform a sex act.
'He touched me on a previous occasion, but the actual grabbing was the same time when he exposed himself and actually grabbed me from behind,' said Mrs Turley.
She said he was aggressive and rude to her, asking her to bring him dinner or make his tea.
But it was in June 2008 that he is alleged to have called her into his office and said: 'Because I want to f*** you over my desk.'
Mrs Turley told the panel: 'I'm from a deprived working area and I was devastated.
'Most nights coming home and on Sundays not wanting to face the next day.
'The harassment started back up again because he was thinking I was going to say something and made my life and working environment unbearable to try to make me finish on my own.
'But when I didn’t report it he started up an onslaught of sexual innuendo and text messages again because he got away with it the first time.'
The panel heard Igbokwe would 'make eyes' at her when they were working in the same room and ask her to meet at local hotels.
Even when she had left her job and was pursuing legal action against Igbokwe she claims the harassment didn’t stop.
She received pornographic emails, which were sometimes opened by her husband and children, and was told by friends they had seen a suspicious silver Mercedes following her.
'It was just unreal, my life. I’m trying to start to get it back together, but it’s still there. I just want to shut the book on it,' she said.
'I feel I have moved on a lot, but to talk about it, when I go into any detail and depth I get upset because I think was there anything that I did,' she added.
'I am a lot stronger person now for what I have done.'
The hearing continues.

Gunmen Attack Mountain Of Fire Headquarters In Enugu
Unknown gunmen have attacked the regional headquarters of Mountain of Fire and Miracles ministries in Enugu.
The attack was carried out on Saturday night, and the two security men on duty at the church escaped death with serious injuries.
Members of the MFM disclosed to The Punch that the gunmen wielded machetes and other dangerous weapons.
Observation from our correspondent showed that they pulled down the entire concrete fence of the church and burnt part of the altar.
It was gathered that the attack on the church lasted for several hours, from midnight on Saturday to the wee hours of Sunday.
The church recently relocated to the new headquarters at Emeka Ibila Street, off Agbani road, Enugu. This was in October 2013, after the Enugu State Government demolished the old regional headquarters at Zik Avenue.
Regional Overseer, MFM South-East 1, Pastor Rotimi Olugbule, said he got a call early Sunday morning that armed men broke into the church overnight.
“They were armed with guns and other dangerous weapons. They were also armed with 25 litres jerry can of fuel. And they met with our security men and others who were there.
“They demanded for their phones and switched them off. They broke a chair on the head of one of them and he was bleeding profusely. They also used the iron rods they came with to hit him severally on the neck,” said Pastor Olugbule

Saidi Balogun refutes court action against ex-wife, Fathia Balogun
I would be glad if my personal life can be kept out of the public eye. If a “news story” begins with the phrase “According to unconfirmed reports,” and the affected stakeholders did not confirm such reports, is the story really newsworthy?
Punch called me about an personal issue (about a previous marriage) that I have no knowledge of.
My response to them is the same response I have said times without number to all unconfirmed, untrue and other rubbish stories of the like: I, Saidi Balogun, am focusing on my work! I am married to my work and my work is all I know! When I told this to Punch, they at least printed what I said. But, they used a completely different headline that has no basis in fact, which they even admitted to themselves via their failed effort to provide evidence or confirmation of the rumor.
Abeg o, as Saidi Balogun, keep my personal life which you know nothing about out of the public eye and concentrate on the work I do that so many credible people respect me for. Thanks and God Bless all of my fans, I love you! - Saidi Balogun

Oshiomhole offers job, donates N2m to widow
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo on Monday donated N2m to a widow he allegedly insulted while on an inspection tour of the state.
The widow, Mrs. Joy Ifije, who was invited to the Edo Government House by the governor, was also offered automatic employment by Oshiomhole.
Oshiomhole had invited the widow to personally apologise to her over his uncomplimentary remark that had generated controversies in the conventional and social media in the last few weeks.
The governor said, “Let me apologise to you for the way I spoke to you. I am very sorry about the statement.
“I have also realised that even in anger, one could still achieve the same result that he set out to without provocative outburst.
“I apologise from the bottom of my heart, but sometimes you get angry when people compromise your efforts.”
He said the government was trying to change the face of the state capital by doing its best to make the city beautiful.
The governor added that it was frustrating and bad for some people to truncate government efforts.
He stressed that trading on the road and walk ways could hinder free flow of traffic as well as cause accidents.
Oshiomhole, therefore, appealed to the widow to join in the campaign against road and walkways trading.
The governor said exposing consumables to unhygienic sanitary conditions could also cause ”disease and pose dangerous health hazards to humans.”
Oshiomhole, who also announced the automatic employment of the widow, said the employment would help her ease the burden of widowhood and give her children good and proper education.
He assured the widow that his family would assist the widow’s second child in furthering his education, while also appealing to her to resist the temptation of breaking the law.
The widow had earlier apologised to the governor for her action, saying ‘’ I know I was wrong, that was why I quickly knelt down to beg when I realised I was face to face with the Governor’’.
She promised to work with the state government in its campaign against street trading and obstruction.
She also promised to make judicious use of the money donated to her by the governor.
