A suspected cocaine dealer, Kingsley Agu, who was recently arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos has told operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency that he took to crime because he needed money to fund his father’s burial.

30-year-old Agu was arrested with two others – Joseph Ezenna and Israel Okoye – for smuggling cocaine valued at N131m from Brazil.

Agu, who seemed remorseful for his act, said told Punch

“I was born in Enugu. I sell clothes at Aba market. I travelled to Brazil in April 2014 because my business was not doing well. The few months I spent in Brazil were even worse than here in Nigeria. While in Brazil, my father died and I had no money for my flight ticket. Bringing cocaine to Nigeria was my last hope of raising some money for my dad’s funeral. I was to be paid N800, 000 for the assignment.”

You will remember the 14-year old girl-bride who poisoned her husband’s meal in April for forcefully marrying her and not allowing her continue her studies. Unfortunately, some of his friends who came visiting the day she decided to poison his meal so that she could be ‘free’ ate out of the food and three of them died. Wasila was charged to court, but some human rights body have stood for her saying she was young and ignorant.

Wasila was arraigned in court yesterday in kano but after the court registrar read the charge to her repeatedly, she formed dumb refusing to say a word; Here’s how Vanguard reports it.

There was a mild drama at Gezawa High Court, Kano, yesterday as a girl-bride, Wasila Tasi, suspected to have killed her husband and three others in April, failed to utter a word in court during her trial.

A Magistrate Court sitting in Isabo, Abeokuta, on Wednesday, remanded a herdsman, Mohammed Ibrahim, for killing his friend, who allegedly slept with the former’s wife. According to the prosecutor, Moshood Hammed, a corporal, the accused allegedly committed the offence on October 11 at about 12.30am at Ojubu Village in Abeokuta. He said:

“The accused killed his friend, Abdullahi Saliu, by hitting him with a stick on his head for sleeping with his wife.
“The accused and the deceased are close friends and live together in the same apartment, when the accused learnt that the deceased slept with his wife while he was away from home.
“A fight ensued between the two men, which led to the murder of Saliu.”

Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn once said 'the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.' It seems that this would-be-groom doesn't agree with her sentiment. Last Monday, a man abandoned his fiancée after she showed up to their pre-wedding photo shoot wearing makeup that made her look like an elderly woman.

Things quickly turned sour when the would-be-bride arrived on Dongmen Old Street in Shenzhen wearing an 'old face'. A heated argument between the couple ensued, to the bewilderment of onlookers.

The girl then asked her boyfriend if he would love her at 70-years-old. If so, she said, then he would not mind taking the photos with her dressed accordingly,Shanghaiist reports.
