Woman kills man for damaging her cervix during sex

Marteese Williams who was shot dead by 34 year old Jessica Lewis, a woman he met on Craigslist who accused him of damaging her cervix during sex.

Florida police say the two connected on Craiglist and agreed to meet for casual sex but something went horribly wrong. According to reports, Jessica told police that after the sex, she felt extreme pain in her cervical area and went to the hospital where she was told that her cervix had been damaged.

Police say that Jessica contacted Marteese to tell him that his large penis had damaged her cervix and may have prevented her from having children. She then asked him to pay her hospital bill. When Marteese refused, Jessica drove to his home with a gun...

Investigators say when she got to his home; she shot him three times, killing him instantly.

One of Marteese's neighbour told authorities during an interview.

"I was washing dishes when I heard the gunshots, I couldn't believe it was happening in our neighborhood and when I heard who I was equally shocked."

Jessica is currently being charged with first degree murder and being held without bail.

Rapists are not always strangers!

By Candida

After a particularly hectic session at the restaurant Juliet works for as one of the cooks, she was all for it when Rifukat, her friend of barely a year, who worked in the same restaurant invited her to her place after they both finished work. 

“I was too buoyed up to sleep”, explained Juliet, “and hanging out with Rifukat was always a laugh.  Back at her flat, she poured me a glass of wine and we chatted. Then she mentioned her husband Lagun.  “I’m having problems with him’, she confided, taking a big gulp from her wine glass. ‘He doesn’t like me working long hours at the restaurant.

“I knew exactly what she was going through. Several of my relationships had broken up because of my job.  I was a single mum of a four-year-old and it was hard juggling work and being a mum. Thankfully, my daughter was staying at my mum’s house, so I was free to relax. More of Rifukat’s friends arrived and we all had fun gossiping and listening to music. About an hour later, Lagun and a handful of his friends came in, all the worst for wear from too much booze.  I was instantly on my guard. I didn’t like Lagun’s friends at all. They were young, loud and yobbish.  I went to the kitchen to get myself a drink but when I got back, my seat had been taken. So, I left my glass on the table and stood chatting. Lagun and Rifukat were arguing next to me. `Why didn’t you and your friends stay drinking at your joint?’ My friend asked, `we were having a nice time until you lot turned up’.  `Sorry to spoil your fun’, Lagun sneered,`but this is where I live too. I can bring my mates back if I want’.  Feeling a bit embarrassed, I finished my drink and left to use the toilet.  But as I sat down, someone started shaking the door, trying to force it open. `I’m here!’, I screamed.

“It was the final straw. I didn’t want to hang around with this bunch of drunken idiots – I wanted to be at home in bed with a cold drink. I finished and went into the living room to say goodbye to my friend. But suddenly, I was overcome by a raging thirst. My throat was really scratchy and my heart raced. Rushing into the kitchen, I fumbled for a glass. Next thing I knew, I woke up in my own bed. My head really hurt and I struggled to get up. I felt sick and woozy. I tried to recall the night before. What happened?  This was the worst hangover I’d ever had, and believe me, I’d had a few. I reached for my mobile and I’d had nine missed calls – the time was 1 pm. I was a light sleeper. I never slept as late as this.

“Then my mobile rang. It was Rifukat wanting to know if I knew where Lagun was. `No idea’, I croaked. `I don’t even know how I got home last night’. `Lagun took you in the car’, she said, `you were too drunk to go on your own’.  `What? I only had a couple of drinks …’I protested. `I know’, she said. `You were fine one minute and next thing I knew, you were out cold. It was weird.”. I became apprehensive. I’d had two or three brandy and cokes, that was all.  How had I got so drunk? `If I hear from Lagun, I’ll let you know’, I said and hung up. Suddenly, my bedroom door opened, and in walked Lagun, stark naked!  `What the hell are you doing?’, I screamed. `Get out!’ He didn’t say a word. Smirking, he picked up his clothes and left.

“It was a living nightmare – why was Lagun in my flat? Why was he naked?  Did we have sex?! I felt sick. He was my friend’s husband. Had I really betrayed her?  I tried to climb out of bed but my entire body ached, and I felt sore down below. What had really happened.? Falling back in bed, I had a flashback from the night before. I remembered being shoved against a hard floor, my bedroom floor, I realised with horror. Then there was this memory of a man on top of me, forcing himself inside me.  `No, stop!’ I remembered trying to fight back. But he carried on. The man was Lagun! He’d raped me! I suspected he’d spiked my drink while at their flat so he could take me home and attack me…

“Panicking, I rang my friend back.  `What happened last night?’I asked, fearing the worst.  `All I remember after you left is waking up in bed and wondering where Lagun was’, she replied.  Well, I knew exactly where he was, I thought guiltily. But I simply told her I had to go and burst into tears. He was sick beyond words. When I called the restaurant to take the day off, my immediate boss, who is a good friend, wanted to know what happened. I had to confess to him that Rifukat’s husband had raped me. He was appalled. He urged me to get him arrested but I could just imagine the faces of the police men as I recount how I was raped in my own home by my friend’s husband!  And how would my friend react?  Would she blame me?  Accuse me of leading her husband on?

“In the end I decided to keep the shocking events of that night to myself. One thing was certain – by going to the police, I’d ruin many people’s lives for the sake of one man’s twisted actions.  I still see Rifukat at work but I always dash home after my shift. 

And rapists aren’t always strangers.  I learnt the hard way – you can be attacked in your own home by someone as close as a friend’s husband!”.

What's behind xenophobic attacks in South Africa?

Shops looted and set ablaze. Terrified foreigners hiding in police stations and stadiums. Machete-wielding attackers hacking immigrants to death in major cities in South Africa.

As attacks against foreigners and their businesses rage on, killing at least six people this week, other nations in the continent are scrambling to evacuate their citizens from South Africa. But this is not the first time xenophobic violence has exploded in a country that tries to portray itself as a diverse "rainbow" nation.

What triggered this week's attacks?

They started after Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini said at a recent gathering that foreigners "should pack their bags and go" because they are taking jobs from citizens, local media reported.

Shortly after his comments, violence against immigrants erupted in the port city of Durban.

His office has denied he made the comments, saying journalists misquoted him. While kings are mostly ceremonial figures in the nation, they are influential in their communities.

But the United Nations said the attacks started in March after a labor dispute between citizens and foreign workers.

Why are immigrants targeted?

Some citizens have accused African immigrants of taking their already scarce jobs, undermining businesses owned by locals and contributing to a high crime rate. The nation's unemployment rate is about 25%, according to government figures.

But resentment over porous borders, growing crime rates, poverty and corruption are also a major concern, analysts say.

President Jacob Zuma has said his government is addressing the social and economic concerns. But he said immigrants contribute to the nation's economy and bring skills that are in demand, and should not be stereotyped as criminals.

"While some foreign nationals have been arrested for various crimes, it is misleading and wrong to label or regard all foreign nationals as being involved in crime in the country," Zuma said.

How juju forced me out of Govt House, by Ajimobi

Abiola Ajimobi yesterday explained why he relocated from the Government House to his private residence in Ibadan, the state capital.

He said he fled because his opponents directed evil traditional sacrifices (known as ebo in Yoruba) at him.

Ajimobi spoke in Ibadan at the eighth-day Fidau for the late Chief Imam of Ibadanland, Sheikh Baosari Haruna.

He said ahead of the just-concluded elections, some desperate politicians did their best to send him out of the Government House through many devilish means.

“They first came to you Alfas to give them prayers that will send me out of office, but my own Alfa’s prayers superseded theirs.

“Every morning, I go out for exercise. If you know the Government House very well, it has many interchanges, popularly called orita, I see all kinds of sacrifices (ebo) placed at these junctions.’’

“Worried by these developments, some of you my Alfas here advised me to move out of the Government House to render their evil plots useless,’’ he said.

The governor said his reason contradicts the tales by his opponents that he packed out of the Government House because he was afraid of defeat.

The governor said he had to leave “to thwart the evil plots of these desperate politicians’’.

The elated governor asked the Islamic scholars to select 10 of them to accompany him to Saudi Arabia to perform the lesser Hajj ( Umrah) to thank Allah for His mercies on him and the state.

He thanked the people  for re-electing him.

Obasanjo's autobiography, My Watch released by Customs

The Nigeria Customs Service on Thursday said that it had released former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s autobiography titled, My Watch.

The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the NCS Comptroller-General, Alhaji Dikko Abdullahi, made the disclosure to newsmen when he inaugurated two new patrol boats of the service in Lagos.



Abdullahi said that the container was released following the vacation of an FCT High Court order restraining the former President from publishing, printing or offering for sale, his autobiography titled, “My Watch’’ on Tuesday.

“Customs got the initial order of the court to stop the container and now that the court asks us to release the container, so be it,” he said.

Justice Valentine Ashi had ordered the release of the books which had been in the custody of customs.

Ashi, in a ruling, upheld the argument by Obasanjo’s counsel, Kanu Agabi (SAN), that the court was misled into granting the orders on December 5 and Decemeber10, 2014.

The court had granted the orders on December 5, 2014, restraining Obasanjo from publishing his book in the country pending the determination of the suit filed against him by a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Buruji Kashamu.

Despite the December 5 order, Obasanjo proceeded to launch the book on December 9 in Lagos, a development that prompted the court to make the orders of December 10.

Ashi also restrained the comptroller-general from charging demurrage on copies of the book already confiscated.

Abdullahi described the new patrol boats acquired by the service as equipment needed to perform its exemplary functions in line with President Goodluck Jonathan’s transformation agenda for the service to excel.

He said it took two years to build the boats, adding that the Customs supervised the construction of the boats to meet it specification.

“We have two boats for now. We will watch their performance and see if there is need to have more.

“With the performance of the boats government will not hesitate to give us more money to buy more,” he said.

He recalled that one of the boats was named after nine customs officers killed some years ago by smugglers of petrol on the high sea while they were on official duty.

“It is a bad memory. Nine of my officers were really killed on the high sea by smugglers who were carrying petrol.”

FG directs Nigerians in South Africa to remain indoors

Nigerians resident in South Africa have been directed by the Federal Government to remain indoors up until the ongoing xenophobic attacks in the country are put under control.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of a meeting he attended at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.


He said the directive was communicated to them by Nigeria’s mission in Pretoria.

The minister said, “With the discussions I have been having with Nigeria’s Head of Mission in Pretoria, no Nigerian has so far been affected.

“They informed me that they have called members of the Nigerian community and addressed them and told them to close their shops, stay at home and keep out of trouble and obey the laws of South Africa.

“They have also confirmed that the South African authorities have moved in to take actions that would forestall any further disturbance in that country.”

Wali however said the government would not hesitate to evacuate Nigerians from the country if the situation worsened.

He said, “If it (the situation) gets worse, it is the duty of our country to make sure our people are brought back and we are taking that duty seriously. We are not prepared to allow any of our nationals to be subjected to such inhuman treatment.

“We are not being reactionary because this is happening to all foreigners, not Nigerians alone. We are monitoring the situation and will now take action according to the situation that develops.”

On the investigation ordered by the President on the recent diplomatic row between Nigeria and Morocco over the reported telephone conversation between Jonathan and King Mohammed VI of Morocco, Wali simply said, “We are still at it.”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs later issued a statement in which it called on the South Africa government to stop the attacks and put in place measures to “prevent a reoccurrence. “Condemning the attacks which began two weeks ago, it said Nigeria abhorred violence and also “stands firm in its conviction that no cause could justify taking innocent souls.”

The statement read in part, “The people and government of Nigeria stand in solidarity with the rest of the world to condemn these unprovoked attacks on fellow Africans who have left their countries to seek greener pastures and better livelihood for themselves.

“The government of Nigeria would like to use this medium to reiterate its abhorrence of violence and … therefore calls on the government of South Africa to live up to its responsibilities and take all necessary steps to stop the ongoing xenophobic attacks.

“It is gratifying to note, however, that the a South African President(Jacob Zuma) has condemned the attack. In addition, the city of Durban has also organised rallies against xenophobia.”

Also in Abuja, the House of Representatives asked the government to recall Nigeria’s Ambassador for “consultations “over the widespread attacks and killing of non-South African blacks.

A motion debated by the members of the House in Abuja, highlighted the plight of African migrants in South Africa, whom they said were being “slaughtered like animals” by black South Africans.

The motion stressed that Nigerians were among the victims.

The House specifically requested South African President, Jacob Zuma, to immediately investigate the attacks and punish those responsible.

The motion was sponsored by the Chairman, House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

“Nigeria frowns on the spate of killings of Nigerians in South Africa and requests President Zuma to investigate the cases and bring the perpetrators to justice”, the motion stated.

Dabiri-Erewa noted that though Nigerians had suffered xenophobic attacks in the past in South Africa, the latest cases were ignited by comments credited to the Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini, who had reportedly asked migrant Africans to return to their countries of origin.

The motion read further, “The House notes sadly that the recent attacks which have left many dead, businesses and shops vandalised, many beaten up mercilessly, were incited by a statement allegedly made by South African Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini, who told African migrants to go home as they are no longer welcomed in South Africa.

“Son of President Zuma, Edward, allegedly echoed the same statement. This ignited a strong debate, and worse still, immediate backlash of violent reactions among the Zulus in Kwazulu, who unleashed terror on foreign immigrants, including Nigerians in Jo-bourg, Durban and Pretoria.

“They steal, break into their homes, businesses, take their properties, killing them.

“At least five have been killed in Durban, hundreds stranded and unable to return home.”

Many members, who contributed to the debate, expressed sadness over the turn of events in South Africa.

They recalled with pain, the sacrifices Nigeria made to free South Africa from the clutches of apartheid.

“What is happening in South Africa is a demonstration of the shortness of their memory,” a member from Enugu State, Tobi Okechukwu, said.

Another lawmaker, Abubakar Momoh, advised South Africans to turn their anger against those who oppressed them in the apartheid era and not fellow Africans, who gave so much to secure their freedom.

The motion was passed in a unanimous voice vote at Thursday’s session, which was presided over by the Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal.

A Nigerian based in South Africa on Thursday told The PUNCH that the South African Government was secretly promoting the attacks on black Africans in their country.

“It’s horrendous. The government is secretly gingering them. The government wants all illegal immigrants to be driven away but it went out of proportion. But our people are prepared. We are not running away.”
