Alfa Runs Mad, Dies After Drinking Jedi-jedi Mixed With Kaikai (Photo)

An Islamic cleric, Taiye Bamidele, fondly called Alfa, has died after consuming herbal mixure in the FESTAC area of Lagos State.

The 24-year-old was said to have first acted strangely and behaved violently before dying on Saturday.

A day to the incident, he had complained to his friend, Akintunde Akinwunmi, that he was ill.

Akinwunmi was said to have gone to a herb vendor around the area, who sold the herbal mixture to him.

It was learnt that shortly after taking the concoction, he started laughing hysterically.

He reportedly died soon after, Punch Metro reports.

The matter was said to have been reported at the FESTAC Police Division.


The police arrested Akinwunmi and the herb seller.

A police source said Taiye was resident in Ondo State and had come to Lagos on a visit when tragedy struck.

He said, “There are three friends involved in this case. The deceased lived in Ondo State, while the other two are living in Lagos.

“The two in Lagos travelled to Ondo to join Taiye for the naming ceremony of another friend, who was living in Idi-Iroko.

“All the three friends returned to Lagos on Thursday, last week.

“The following day, which was Friday, Taiye said he had a stomach upset and they went to get him some herbs to treat the ailment.”

It was learnt that he was served a mixture of jedi-jedi and ‘small leaf’ which were soaked in alcohol.

After the victim took the drink, he started acting strangely.

A relative said his friends stated that he was laughing hysterically and talking out of sense.

He said, “He started by laughing at everything they were saying and they didn’t understand what was happening.

“Later, he touched the private parts of one of them. When they tried to hold him, he ran out of the house.”

In the process of running, it was gathered that Taiye fell and injured himself in the head.

He was said to have continued his flight, but was later found with the security men at the entrance into the estate. The men explained to his friends that Alfa had lost his mind.

The security guards reportedly chained Alfa and handed him over to his friends.

He gave up the ghost early Saturday morning.

A source said, “Around 3am on Saturday, he died. People called his name, shook him, but he did not respond.”

The herb seller, Bilikisu Ayilara, said she did not know anything about the death of the victim.

She said, “I have been selling herbs for a long time and I have never had problems.

“I don’t know the man that died. His friend usually patronised me. He came that day and said his friend had a stomach upset.

“I gave him jedi-jedi and small leaf and that was all. It was later I learnt the man who took it ran mad and died. I am innocent.”

The victim’s father, Olaiya, appealed to the police to release his son’s corpse to him.

He said he was not ready to pursue a case against the suspects.

He said, “I don’t think it was the herb that killed my son. Although he did not have any mental problem before coming to Lagos with his friends, he died because it was his fate.

“All I am interested in is for the police to release the corpse of my son to me and release the suspects.”

Fan Comes For Tuface Calls Him a Hypocrite

2Face Idibia recently slammed Nigerian government since 1999, saying they haven’t done anything worth celebrating – Well, someone thinks Tuface is an hypocrite and has no justification to speak the way he did as he isn’t any different from those he is criticizing – The man, identified as Eric Amodu, who claimed to be Tubaba’s childhood friend, in an open letter, to him, wrote that:

Eric advised Tubaba, not to throw stones while living in a glass house, saying he holds no grudge for him, but said he had to remind 2face of the truth, saying the African Queen crooner, forgot the people who made him something – Like Producer- OJB, who needed his help during a kidney transplant, even though OJB had helped Tuface when he was just a struggling musician.
Eric’s letter read:

‘‘Too bad you threw the bomb at yourself on this. You are my friend but the truth must be told.
Question 1. Name a single soul you’ ve ever helped?
Question 2. Why did your fellow childhood friends deserted you?
Question 3. What have you given back to the society that made u?
Infact lets go deeper
First of all, OJB produced you and brought you to limelight and even gave you a song for free without you paying a dime. But you threw your back at him when the world was rallying round to save his life.
Not even a dime from you when lesser musicians gave their widows mite.
No any Idoma sons could say he’s on your scholarship list yet you have the mouth to talk back at the people that you helped in eating from their states’ funds.
You ate the resources meant for Benue State during Akume days in PDP as a governor when he bought you a Camry.
How about Donald Duke when he was the PDP governor of cross Rivers State? He lavished the state resources for you and still paid 20 million naira just to reunite the plantation boiz yet you have the guts to say PDP did nothing? Better still, you for reject all the money.

In Aliko Dangote’s harem, Sylvia who thinks herself a major chick is actually considered a ‘Jumpoff’, apparently.

According to insiders in Dangote’s office, the billionaire is upset because they can’t understand how someone will wake up one morning and cook up marriage stories.

According to Yes International, The alleged romance tale involving Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and ex-beauty queen, Sylvia Nduka has been described by some insiders at the billionaire’s office as both untrue and unfounded.

According to one of them, the story is nothing but ‘arrant nonsense and total falsehood’.

“Nothing like that exists. In fact, if at all it exists, it does in the imagination of whoever cooked up the story. We are still investigating the original source of the mischievous and misleading story and will definitely take it up with them once we are done with that. We shall also issue an official statement, rebutting the cock and bull story.

“We just can’t understand how someone will wake up in the morning and begin to fabricate and spread falsehood aimed at tarnishing someone’s hard-earned reputation. The story is totally false. Totally false”.

Unexploded Bomb Found Near Wembley Stadium. Tomorrow's FA Cup Final Threatened

Homes have been evacuated as the Army works to defuse an unexploded World War II bomb discovered near Wembley Stadium.

The 50kg explosive, which is believed to have been dropped over London during Nazi bombing raids in the the early 1940s, was discovered by builders working near the stadium.

The British Army has warned of a "genuine risk to life" as homes and businesses, reportedly including the studio in which the ITV show Britain's Got Talent is filmed, were evacuated outside a 400-metre police cordon.

This bomb is a live munition in a potentially dangerous condition so it's important that people listen to the police and evacuate their homes if asked.
We will do all we can to minimise the disruption but ask the public to bear with us - any bomb, even under a controlled explosion, could cause significant damage to property and there is a genuine risk to life.

Air force official justifies brutal beating of FAAN official

Description

The Nigerian Air Force on Wednesday said Muhammed Shuaibu suffered in the hands of four of its officers because he broke the rule. The Command Public Relations Officer, Logistics Command, NAF, Joel Abioye, said Shuaibu suffered for breaking the rule and tried to use his position to deceive those AF officers.

He said, “The incident happened at the Departure wing of the International Airport, Ikeja, on Sunday when one Muhammed Shuaibu, a protcol officer with FAAN confronted our men on duty for challenging him for parking in a wrong place, thereby obstructing free flow of traffic.

“This same man had earlier been cautioned to stop allowing motorists park indiscriminately for security reason. He was instructed to move his vehicle to the designated car park at the airport.

“He, however, refused, claiming that he was a member of staff of FAAN. He is a protocol officer and I expect him to know better, considering the security challenges in the country.

“Shuaibu struggled with our men and acted violently in an attempt to retrieve the number plate of his vehicle that was removed, which is a usual practice to serve as deterrent to other motorists who park indiscriminately.

“Contrary to the report that he was beaten to a coma, it was in his attempt to retireve his number plate that he sustained injury in his nostrils. He was later taken to the 445 NAF Hospital, Ikeja, for medical treatment before he discharged himself on Monday.

“However, a thorough investigation will be carried out and if any of our men is found culpable, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against them as the Nigerian Air Force does not condone any act of indiscipline and brutalisation of innocent citizens.”

However, Shuaibu, who spoke with Punch on Wednesday, explained that it was not the first time that airport workers had been intimidated and beaten by the air force officers.

He said he wanted his attackers to be punished and his case to serve as a deterrent to other security officers who abuse the privilege of power.

He said, “I appreciate the efforts of the media, but this is just a single case out of many others which never get any mention.

“I have no plan to personally pursue a legal case, I am leaving everything to FAAN.

“But I want the government to intervene and let these assaults end with my experience.

“It has to stop and the only way to do that is to punish officers who attacked me.”
