Security Group Pours Pepper Into Sales Girls’ Private Parts In Onitsha

A security group at Ochanja Main Market, Onitsha, Anambra State, has been accused of torturing five sales people. Four among them died, while the fifth, a lady, is presently battling to live.

The security group was said to have carried out the torturing of the three men and two ladies on the instructions of their boss, said to be a trader in the market.

While the boys were tortured with machete cuts, grinded pepper was poured into the private parts of the ladies. The ladies were also alleged to have been brutalised.

One of the female traders in the market said: “One of the boys was inflicted with machete wounds at the office of the market’s security group, leading to his death.” The machete cuts, which were inflicted on the boy’s forehead, caused his immediate death.

The boy has been identified as Jekwu. Jekwu, two other boys and two ladies were sales persons to their boss, identified simply as Edimor. It was learnt that Edimor sells bathroom slippers. Edimor accused the five sales persons of stealing his N350,000.

Another trader said: “Edimor said that he told them to take the cash to the bank, which they did. They, however, returned to the shop after they saw that the crowd at the bank was much. The following day, they started searching for the money in the shop.

The three boys and two girls told Edimor they were not in possession of the money, but he wouldn’t believe them. “He invited the security group to do everything to ensure his sales people confess to the stealing.”
When the security grouped realised Jekwu was dead, they quickly rushed the other two boys to the hospital.
The two boys also later died at the hospital. The torture was said to have been too much for them.

“The girls were tortured with grinded pepper, which was poured into their private parts. The pain was said to have killed one of the girls at the hospital, while the other is still battling to stay alive,” another source said. When Edimor heard of the tragedy, he bolted, but police tracked and arrested him.

Man Stabs His 14 Year Old Girlfriend’s Mum To Death - See Why

A 22 year old soldier from Allentown, Pennsylvania, Caleb Barnes was convicted of first-degree murder last Friday for killing his then-14-year-old girlfriend’s mother who didn’t approve of their relationship because of her daughter’s age.

Barnes was accused of stabbing 54 year old Cheryl Silvonek, last year while his girlfriend, Jamie Silvonek, watched on.

Cheryl Silvonek was discovered with multiple wounds to her torso, head, and neck March 15, 2015. The couple allegedly buried her in a shallow grave after she was killed with plans to set the body on fire later.

According to People, the murder took place after Cheryl Silvonek showed Barnes her daughter’s birth certificate as proof of her age and that he had committed a felony by sleeping with a minor.

Jamie Silvonek pleaded guilty to first-degree murder earlier this year, and, as part of a plea deal, agreed to testify against Barnes, thus receiving a shorter sentence of 35 years to life.

After they were caught, Barnes initially suggested that he’d acted alone and pleaded not guilty before the case went to trial.

However, when the two testified in court, both pointed the blame at each other, with Barnes claiming his girlfriend had murdered her mother after telling her she was pregnant with his child.

When he took the stand, he claimed he had fallen asleep in his car outside of her house, when Jamie Silvonek came banging on his window covered in blood.

According to CBS, Barnes said:

“At this point, I’m thinking I have a family to protect”. “This girl just killed her mom, but she’s having my baby. I can’t let her go to prison.”

Jamie Silvonek on the other hand, claimed Barnes had strangled, then stabbed, her mother from behind after she’d picked them up from a concert.

Before the murder, Jamie had allegedly told Barnes that she wanted her mother dead through a series of text messages.

In regards to the text messages, Jamie said:

“I believe what I did was just as bad or worse than the physical act … I realized that I had to do the right thing, that’s taking accountability for my actions, something your client has yet to do.”

The jury deliberated on their verdict for over four hours, ultimately siding with Jamie Silvonek since Barnes’s narrative seemed not to hold up.

Silvonek is serving her 35 years to life sentence at a state correctional facility, while Barnes will be sentenced to life in prison at his hearing Sept.19.

Man sufforcates wife to death in her sleep

The younger sister of late Mrs. Roseline Sougie, who was allegedly killed by her husband of 26 years, says the suspect nearly beat her to death sometime in 2015.

The sister, Mrs. Philomena Shaibu, told Punch Metro that the husband, Jafaru Sougie, in anger used a pillow to stifle the mother of five while she was sleeping.

She added that Roseline’s death on Friday in their rented apartment on Araromi Street, Oshodi, Lagos, was the end of a long period of domestic abuse.

This is just as the last child of the family, Happiness, marked her 9th year birthday at Shaibu’s house in Ikorodu on Sunday.

Punch correspondent had reported that unemployed 49-year-old Jafaru allegedly used a knife to slit the wife’s throat around 2am on Friday, after which he took a poison.

He was vomiting in the bathroom when one of their children, Richmond, and his aunt, who had slept in the living room, went into the inner room to wake up Roseline only to discover that she was dead.

Forty-six-year-old Roseline, a frozen foods seller in Ijora, was the breadwinner of the family and had reportedly wanted to quit the marriage, but was advised to rescind her decision for the sake of the children.

However, Shaibu on Sunday, said her sister fled to their village in Edo State in 2015 after the husband stifled her during another argument.

She said, “Last year, my sister was sleeping when her husband used a pillow to cover her mouth and she nearly died. She managed to escape and fled to our village. The case was reported to the police in Oshodi. He went to the village to beg her and after three months they reconciled.

“It was the children that kept her in the relationship. It was unfortunate that she died because of the children. All I want is that he should not go unpunished. My sister suffered a lot to keep the marriage going. We want justice for her.”

The President, Women Arise for Change Initiative, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, said her group had contacted the police on the matter and would monitor it to ensure justice in the end.

She said, “There is a curious rise in the spate of domestic violence; husband killing wife and vice-versa. People must be careful about the kind of relationship they get into. We have taken this up. Roseline’s death is a colossal loss. We stand with the family at this time of grief. We wait for the autopsy report of Roseline. Jafaru must be alive to face justice.”

But the second child of the family, 16-year-old Richmond, a Senior Secondary School 2 pupil, said he had forgiven his father.

“We just have to move ahead with our lives. Mum meant a lot to us; she was our hope, but at the same time, I have forgiven dad,” he said.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that Jafaru, who is in the custody of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, had yet to speak to investigators on the incident as he was still recuperating from the poison he took.

The Lagos State deputy spokesperson of the police, DSP Damasus Ozoani, said, “The matter is still under investigation. The suspect has not given the police his own version of the incident and the circumstance in which the act was committed has yet to be determined.”

Police insists Enugu Killers Were Fulani Herdsmen, As Death Toll Rises

Nwodibo Ekechukwu, the commissioner of police for Enugu state, says the killings of nine people in Nimbo community was carried out by suspected herdsmen.

This appears to contradict a statement released by the state police on Wednesday saying that the killers were “mere hoodlums”.

“The present situation is that one more person died and two additional corpses were discovered, making the death toll nine, and nine people are also injured and still receiving treatment at the hospital.

“Well, the allegation, the suspicion is that they are herdsmen. The suspicion is that they are herdsmen. We are working on that, at the appropriate time, their full identity will be disclosed.”

He said the killings were done in cold blood in the community while farmers tried to make their means from early hour farming.

“The genesis was that on the 25th between 6:30 and 7:00am, the suspected herdsmen invaded Nimbo community, Enugu state.

“They came through the bushes and while coming through the bushes, they slaughtered people in a most barbaric manner. In their farms. Those who went early to farm.

“They decided to slaughter them, so that they would not use gunshot in a way that would attract the attention of law enforcement.

“Eventually, they came to the fringes of the town, they burnt one house with a vehicle contained in a garage, then of course a bus nearby.

“By the time our men noticed what was happening, they went there and exchange gunfire with them, successfully repelled them with some of them carrying bullet wounds.”

President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the police, at a book launch on Wednesday, to bring the perpetrators to book.
