The 12-year-old girl got suspicious on the way to the car and began screaming, but Howells pushed the girls inside and drove them to the couple’s home where, authorities say, they were handcuffed for 24 hours.
Father-of-three Stephen M. Howells II, 39, pleaded guilty to kidnapping and sexually abusing two Amish sisters, aged 6 and 11, who he chained to his bed, according to police

Anglican Church Nigeria Holds Farewell & Thanksgiving Service for GEJ
The Anglican Communion today held a special thanksgiving and farewell service in honour of President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife Dame Patience Jonathan. The farewell service held at the Cathedral Church of Advent Life Camp Gwarimpa, Abuja and was attended by the president's friends and well wishers,
In his message to Nigerians after the service, President Goodluck Jonathan says he attained the political positions he held in Nigeria not because of hard work but because of favour from God and that he is happy to exit fulfilled.
He said the decision to concede defeat was not an easy one but that he saw no reason why anyone
should shed blood because of his political ambition
The president prayed for the success of the incoming administration and pledged that as long as he lives he will continue to do his best for peace to reign in the country, ChannelsNews reports.
I Was Ready to Die for Nigeria - President Goodluck Jonathan
Apart from getting scholarships in school, President Jonathan became a deputy governor, governor, vice president and president by the grace of God. And today at the Anglican church thanksgiving, he said he was ready to pay the supreme price for Nigeria with all the benefits he has derived from the country right from his school days.
He said:
“When I look at the whole picture of my life up to when I became the president of this country, I say that if soldiers and police officers that have not received 0. 5 percent of the benefits that I have received from the state can lay their lives for this country, I should do anything in the interest of Nigeria including paying the supreme price.
As long as live, I will continue to do my best for the state because the state has helped
me as a person. I have to thank Nigerians especially my state for giving me the opportunity to serve as deputy governor and the whole country gave me the opportunity to serve as Vice President and then president, first was to complete the tenure of the late president and later serve as president from which I am exiting now as a very happy and fulfilled man.
I believe there are reasons for everything. Some hard decisions have their own cost, no doubt about that. That I have ran the government this way that stabilized certain things, the electoral process and other things that brought stability into this country. They were very costly decisions which I myself must be ready to pay for.
Some people come to me and say this or that person is he not your friend that benefited. Is it not your government that this person benefited from? But this is what the person is saying. But I used to say worse statements will come. If you take certain decisions, you should know that those close to you will even abandon you at some point. And I tell them that more of my so-called friends will disappear.”
'We're Naked, Chained; Starved of food & Water' - Nigerian Soldiers on Deathrow Cry Out
According to SaharaReporters, they have learnt of an alleged covert plan to ‘kill’ a group of soldiers who were arrested late last year on charges of mutiny and attempted murder.
The soldiers who have been held since September last year managed to reach out to the outside world via text messages, using the opportunity to reveal the conditions they are being held in. The initial message they sent to SR read:
“Greetings sir, we are the 12 soldiers sentenced to death \others detained at CIC Apapa, Lagos. We are to inform you that following our denial of access to our families, councils & even access to fund [sic] to feed our families\pay our legal fees, that as you know, we
had been concealing our cell phone to help us hear from counsels.
The phone was collected on 6\5\15, in view of this, we have not been fed, We are on hand-cuff & leg chain, we are kept naked [sic] & deprived of even drinking water. As it stands now sir, our lives are at stake. We, therefore, plead with due respect that you intervene”.SR reporter followed up trying to call the number but met with no success. Only for after a while, one of the accused reached their reporter again, this time in a voice call with a frantic message.
“They are trying to kill us. They want to kill us” the voice said.He reportedly went on to inform SR that the authorities have noticed that they have access to a cell phone and have therefore resorted to using starving techniques as a form of punishment. He said they had not been fed nor given any water for about five days.
Last year the story broke of some 12 soldiers who were reined in by the military authorities for allegedly refusing to confront Boko Haram militants and firing at their commanding officer in the northeastern city of Maiduguri in May. The soldiers were reportedly angry after a convoy was ambushed on a road frequently targeted by Islamist Boko Haram militants and decided to protest to the authorities who they blamed for underequipped and underpaying them.
They were subsequently charged with mutiny and attempted murder and sentenced to death.
Sahara Reporters say attempts by them to glean more information from the phone conversation were cut short as the phone abruptly went dead. It is believed they are under strict guard and thus had to hang up to avoid being seen by the authorities. They, however, managed to sneak out another text message.
“Is not OK, they want to kill us with bitting [sic] starvation since 4 days we have not eating [sic] any food pls help us we are the 12 soldiers they sentenced last year.”SR continues that they tried to reach the military high command for comment but at the time of going to press, they had not been able to make contact.
