The burglar that was gunned down by that old man wasn't pregnant afterall
7/26/2014 1:06:00 PM
28 year old Andrea Miller, (pictured left) had claimed she was pregnant before being gunned down as she ran from the home she and another accomplice had just burglarized by the homeowner, 80 yr old owner, Tom Greer (pictured right).
Her accomplice, 26 year old Gus Adams could now be charged for her murder instead of the old man who shot her dead, as law enforcement agents say the man was within his rights to protect himself.
Adams had initially escaped from the scene of the home break-in and shooting but he was arrested the next day and now police say that in addition to robbery charges, he could be charged with murder under a California law that makes a person criminally responsible for a murder that occurs in the commission of a felony.
2nd Lucozade Sport Lagos City Marathon Holds August 16th
7/26/2014 12:46:00 PM
August 16 has been announced as the date for the Lucozade Sport 10 Kilometer Fun Run Reloaded, an event that provides leverage for Lagosians to revel in the fun of running to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is the second edition of the event sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria Limited (GSK) as the maiden edition held on November 23 2013. Continue...
GSK, makers of Lucozade Sport isotonic drink and the Lagos State Ministry of Youth, Sport and Social Development are collaborating to organize the 10 kilometers Marathon Fun Run to provide vent for health conscious Lagosians and fitness lovers to live out their passion in a secure and friendly event. The Memorandum of Understanding for the partnership was signed last year and culminated in the first race, which had a number of corporates and individuals registering and participating in the event that ended with a colorful ceremony at the Muri Okunola Park on Victoria Island.
Dubbed the Lucozade Sport Lagos City 10km Fun Run, the event is targeted at Staff of Blue Chip organizations, Businessmen and women, professional athletes and students of tertiary institutions who otherwise may not have all the time to keep fit through regular exercises at the gym.
According to Justin Korteasa, the Managing Director of GSK, " the race which comes under our flagship sport engagement brand, Lucozade Sport is another contribution of GSK to the emerging Lagos Mega City concept. We have Route Plan that commences with a Start Point in Marina and having every runner converge on the Finish Point at Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island".
The event was last year endorsed by the Lagos State Athletics Association, which serves as the Technical Partners. Participation in the event is expected to have teams from leading corporate organizations and professional marathon runners. Forms are already available at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos State Athletics Association, Rowe Park, Connect Marketing Office at Motorways, Alausa and online at www.lagoscity10kmrun.com.
It has so far remained the major running event in Lagos State in the last two years and Lucozade Sport has been sponsoring several other events including the Lagos Cyclefest and the Lucozade Sport Open Air Workout which were all aimed at promoting healthy living in the citizens.

Woman's face gets 26 stitches after husband batters her over piece of fish
7/26/2014 12:06:00 PM
For taking a piece of fish from the cooking pot, 34 year old Fatima Bankole (pictured above) said she got the beating of her life from her husband, Alhaji Kamoru Bankole, on Wednesday July 16th and now has 26 stitches on her face as a result of the brutal assault.
Narrating what led to the attack, Fatima, who is one of three wives, said as wives of the Alhaji, they had a roaster for cooking. She said on the day any of them cooked, they would first dish for their husband, then the children before serving themselves.
She said on the day of the attack, the last wife had finished her cooking and served their husband and the children. She, Fatima, then went for her own meal but as soon as the third wife saw her food, she immediately went to report to their husband that Fatimah had taken the largest chunk of fish in the pot.

Not listening to her explanation that she only took pieces of fish scattered in the pot, their husband descended on her with punches to her face. She said she bled for hours and was thereafter locked up in a room for three days before she found a way of escape.
She said her husband had physically assaulted her several times in the past and even gave an account of a previous attack where her husband pulled her hair until it hurt so bad it gave her head injuries.

They claim that security agents arrested three sons of Sheikh Zakzaky, and later shot two of the three men in detention. Find the press statement after the cut...
WE CONDEMN THE UNWARRANTED ATTACK ON MUSLIM BROTHERS IN ZARIA
Friday 25-07-14 is a sad day, akin to a black Friday, in which some security agents of the federal republic of Nigeria, soldiers by the khaki they wore, gunned down, as at the time of writing this press release, 10 Innocent fasting Muslim brothers, who were peacefully voicing their discontent with the unfortunate massacre of Palestinians by Israel.
Zaria residents are a witness to the peaceful nature of the procession which took off from Sabon Gari Jumaat mosque up to its termination point at Kofar Doka, Zaria City. Nobody was molested let alone his property. In fact the leader of the procession was delivering his speech, when some soldiers attacked the participants of the procession who were at PZ Junction in Zaria.
In the ensuing melee, 10 people were killed by the soldiers, 40 were shot and now receiving treatment. And among the killed is a Muslim Sister together with her child on her back and the son of Sheikh Zakzaky, Mahmud Ibraheem Zakzaky. Also among those shot by the soldiers are two Muslim sisters.
Not only that, the soldiers went away with 3 children of Sheikh Zakzaky, namely Ahmad, Hameed and Ali. As of now their whereabouts is still unknown.
We vehemently condemn this vicious atrocity committed by the soldiers on us. Why should we be attacked? Who did we provoke during the peaceful procession? Who authorized this attack? Who participated in the attack among the soldiers? These are some of the questions the security operatives in the state need to answer us and the public.
Also we demand the unconditional release of Sheikh Zakzaky's children in soldiers' custody and other Muslim brothers they might be holding. And should anything happen to them, we will hold the authorities responsible!
This is not the first peaceful procession carried out by Muslim brothers in Zaria. In fact due to its peaceful nature residents in Zaria don't consider it as an unusual event that calls for caution.
Another proof of the peaceful nature of the procession is the fact that it was staged today in Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Potiskum, Jos, Bauchi, Gombe, and many other towns in Northern Nigeria and all ended peacefully. So why should the one in Zaria be an exception? The authorities should explain.
The casualty figures might increase, God willing we will keep the public informed of the Transgressor in Nigeria.
