Four Children Burnt To Death As Nigerian Staff Goes Shopping Locking Them Inside Daycare

A daycare worker left four kids alone at home while she went shopping, During the time she was outside, a fire broke out and sadly killed four kids and seriously injured three others.

24-year-old Jessica Tata from Texas, is facing life in prison for the death of the four young kids who were left in her care.

Prosecutors allege that she went shopping at Walmart while leaving her daycare children home alone, when a fire broke out killing four young children. Tata was seen on the security cameras shopping at Walmart. It is believed that the fire started after Tata left a frying pan with oil on a stove while she went out to run errands.

 Two days after the incident, Tata fled to Nigeria. She was later arrested and extradited to the United States after a joint effort of the U.S. Marshals and Interpol.

The fire killed Shomari Dickerson, Kendyll Stradford, Elias Castillo and Elizabeth Kajoh, all less than three years old. Three other children in her care were left in critical condition and they were taken to the Shriner’s burn hospital.

Tracy Storms, who lost her grandson Shomari in the fire, told reporters: "Sorry, there is no forgiveness for anyone who makes an income watching children and has an audacity to leave them alone even for a second. I don’t understand how this woman can look herself in the mirror knowing that she destroyed seven children."

This women is just a careless living dead.... -

Satisfied with the level of work carried out by army engineers in the reconstruction of internal roads within the Barracks at Onitsha, Governor Peter Obi yesterday presented another cheque of N100 Million Naira to the Army, bringing it to 200 million given to them so far for the project.

Presenting the cheque, the Governor said that it was in line with the policy of his Government to work with all the Federal agencies in the State on the reason that all of them ultimately serve the good of the State and her people. He regretted that before he became Governor, that it was cat and mouse relationship between Anambra Government and Security agencies in the State and that the State suffered because of that. “If you remember, in those reckless era, the State was, in 2004, burnt down. But I can assure you that with the level of civility we have restored, such a thing would not happen again, the Governor s aid.

Presenting the cheque, Obi urged the army to continue to utilize the funds properly. He said that Government was about collaboration with organizations of goodwill that were willing to make sacrifices for the good of the people. Using the Church as one organization working closely with the State, the Governor said that since schools were returned back to the Church and money given to them directly to rehabilitate the schools, that the State had never been the same again.

The Governor who said that his Government was committed to the upgrade of Onitsha said that besides the roads, that he would be back to the barracks for the rehabilitation of their schools.

Receiving the cheque, the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika said he decided to come in person, because the Governor Obi was doing remarkably well for the his State and the Army. He said he had received tremendous support from him since his appointment. Unlike in the past, he said that Anambra State was now enjoying peace under the leadership of Governor Obi. The Chief of Staff commended the Commander of the 302 Artillery Regiment under the Command of Col TA Gagariga, under whom old vehicles were rehabilitated. He assured that his Office would continue to offer support to all military formations in the country.

Besides the presentation of the cheque, the Chief of Army staff extolled president Goodluck Jonathan for his dedication and support to the Nigerian Army. Thereafter, he commissioned some refurbished military vehicles in the Barracks, including Prime Movers, Ammunition Carriers and Command Post Vehicles.

Accompanying the Chief of Staff are the gOC of 82 Division, Gen. AA Olanuyi, the Commander of Corps of Artillery Major General AK Kwaskebe, among others.

Gov Fashola stops his aides from organising elaborate 50th birthday party

Lagos State governor Babatunde Fashola will turn 50 on June 28th. His aides were planning an elaborate 50th birthday party but he asked them to stop. He doesn't want to have an elaborate birthday at tax payers expense. I love my governor. Read what he told City People below:

"By nature I am not a ceremonious person. I don't like all the noise and partying. When I saw all the plans going on for my 50th, I said no. If this is my day, then those who really love me should allow me do it the way I want to. I have told my aides how I feel about this whole 50th birthday celebration. I asked them if governors in other countries don't have their birthdays and is it usually in such a loud way and manner? If I do it my own way it won't cost me that much to receive my visitors. I funded my 40th birthday when I was Chief of Staff and it cost me so much. I am not quite sure I can do the same now. As a Governor, it will cost me more. I am not sure I want to spend that kind of money on parties. And to tell you the truth, the idea that probably I will have a birthday at tax payers expense is something that does not go down well with me, and it's only for 24 hours. So I am going to have a very quiet and simple day with close friends and family.

Photo Proof That Kim and Kanye Named Their Baby ‘North West’

(Photo credit: TMZ)

The birth certificate, obtained first by TMZ, indicates that the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, 32, and her rapper boyfriend, 36, welcomed their daughter on June 15 in L.A. Though many outlets were reporting that the baby would have the middle name Donda after West’s late mother, the birth certificate indicates no middle name.
Kardashian was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood, Calif., after she prematurely went into labor last week. Since giving birth, Kardashian has kept a low profile, though she’s apparently loving her new role as mom.
“[The baby is] doing great and she’s beautiful,” Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner has said. “We’re all fine. We’re all good and extremely happy and thrilled for the new baby.”

Police declare ex-deputy governor of Lagos state wanted for fraud

According to Punch, the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police has declared a former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, wanted for allegedly defrauding a land buyer of N130m.

The SFU alleged in a statement on Wednesday that the suspect and her son, Samson, obtained money from the victim by false representation.

The Commissioner of Police for the command, Tunde Ogunsakin, said, “The victim alleged that in September 2011, the suspects conspired and sold a parcel of land at Plot 24 Block 4 situated at Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos for N130m which he paid into the first suspect’s account with the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc. 

He further stated that after payment, he requested title document and Alhaja Ojikutu procured an affidavit of support to back her fraudulent claim, a police crime extract and a publication in a newspaper all purporting to loss of the original documents of title to the land.

 The victim believed her because of her personality as the former Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

“The bubble burst when the victim commenced development of the land and was on the verge of completion when the bona fide owner of the land surfaced and indeed it was discovered that the land the suspect sold did not belong to her.  She actually sold Plot 23 Block 4 while Plot 24 Block 4 already has a property on it.”

According to police investigation, the land Ojikutu sold, did not belong to her, but to one Mr. Afolabi.  It was also discovered that the Plot 24 Block 4, which actually belonged to Alhaja Ojikutu’s late husband, Samson Ojikutu (senior), was sold by him in 1995 and the suspect was a life witness and appended her signature to the sale of the land.

Ogunsakin said the suspect further perpetrated the crime by alleging that the original Certificate of Occupancy to the property was missing and swore an affidavit which enabled her to obtain a police report and memorandum of loss.  She also put up an advert in newspapers that the original C of O was lost, whereas the original C of O was with the Hallmark Homes, the buyer of the property.

He said, “The suspect, who is a 67-year-old retiree from Lagos Island, allegedly connived with her son, Samson, who is currently in the United States to commit the fraud.  The suspect and her son were parties to the sale of the land and both signed the agreement given to the complainant and obtained the sum of N130m from him.

“She admitted committing the crime but confessed that it was a genuine mistake of plot identification.  She refunded the sum of N50m to the complainant and promised to refund the balance as soon as she disposed of her two properties she put up for sale.  She also confessed that she had invested the victim’s money in her business.

 “She equally made an undertaking and payment plan which was drawn from September, 2012 and was to terminate by November 2012, but she defaulted.”

Ogunsakin stated that the suspect was not willing to abide by the terms of payment and had jumped bail. He added that all attempts to contact her had proved abortive.

“The SFU declares Alhaja Ojikutu wanted. Anybody with useful information regarding her whereabouts should report to the Commissioner of Police, Special Fraud Unit, 13 Milverton Road, Ikoyi,” he said.
