Soldiers stop planned Boko Haram attack in Borno, kill 20 of them

Boko Haram gunmen returned late last night to Mafa and Ajiri villages in Borno State to attack the villagers but this time they met their match. Soldiers guarding the villages and neighbouring ones opened fire on the insurgents, killing at least 20 of them. But instead of retreating, eye witnesses said the Boko Haram members came in their hundreds and engaged the military men in a gun battle.

Fortunately the military men overpowered them, killed many of them and seized different calibers of machine guns and improvised explosive devices from them, this is according to the Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen Chris Olukolade. He said some soldiers, who were from the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri, were injured in the battle but no soldier was killed.

Obesere alleged rape case: victim alleges pressure from police to strike out case

09:42:00

The woman who is accusing Fuji musician Obesere of raping her is claiming that the police is pressuring her to drop the case. She also said she's been getting death threats and has relocated to her village out of fear for her life and to continue treatment. Read the full report from Vanguard below...

A police source also disclosed that Obesere found it difficult to pressurize the DPO at Isolo into striking out the matter or persuade the victim to accept a settlement.

The source, who craved anonymity, also said Obesere contacted some top citizens to wade into the matter by persuading the DPO to soft-pedal on the matter but they backed down when they discovered that the police have incriminating evidence against the musician.

400level student of OAU, Dipo Ige, commits suicide after being jilted

09:32:00

A 400level Law student of Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Oladipo Olalekan Ige, committed suicide on Monday March 3rd after allegedly being jilted by a girl.

Dipo was found dead in his apartment at the Asherifa area of Ile-Ife on Monday evening. He'd killed himself with poison.

The student who is said to be above average academically had been threatening to kill himself for weeks before he finally did. According to his friends, Dipo's girlfriend of almost a year broke things off with him in early February and all means to get her back didn't work.

Friends said he was a loner and always talked about being depressed and so didn't think the break up affected him so bad when he started to withdraw into himself. And nobody really took his threat to commit suicide seriously until his body was found in his off campus residence. Though some of his friends say his suicide had nothing to do with a woman. His body has been taken away to his home town of Ibadan by his family members. Suicide is never the answer!

DNA test results show that B.Howard could be Michael Jackson's son

09:24:00

TMZ is reporting that B.Howard could be Michael Jackson's son after DNA results were made public

From TMZ

There's a 99.9% chance a 31-year-old man is Michael Jackson's illegitimate son ... at least that's the claim after an alleged DNA test turned up a match.

According to the test results -- obtained by Alki David and his company, FilmOn.com - Brandon Howard is almost certainly Michael's son. David told TMZ Live he got MJ's dental impression from a Beverly Hills doctor that he got at an auction. The impression is 30 years old but David says its filled with DNA.

Brandon - who now goes by B Howard and looks and acts very much like Michael - was not present for the unveiling, but David says he had Howard's DNA and it matched up.

Who believes this? Continue...

B. Howard having his DNA taken

David would not say which lab performed the DNA test, but says it showed a clear match.

Brandon's mom - Miki Howard - is a famous gospel singer who Michael knew. She went by the name "Billy" back in 1982. Interestingly ..a year later Michael released "Billie Jean," which included the lyrics, "Billie Jean's not my lover" and "The kid is not my son."

For B Howard's part - he's distancing himself from the whole spectacle, insisting he had nothing to do with it.
