When An 'Evil Spirit' Pushes A 50 Year Old Man Into Raping a 2 Year Old Baby

According to Daily Post reports, one Okon Michael, 50, an indigene of Mbak Ekpe in Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom state, who raped a two-year-old girl has confessed to the crime saying he was under the influence of an evil spirit.




While being paraded on Wednesday at the Ikot Akpan Police Headquarters of the state alongside other suspects arrested for various offences, the man who spoke to journalists said he didn’t know what came over him.

Fielding questions from newsmen, Michael further insisted that he was under the influence of an evil spirit when he committed the crime.

“Even as I am standing before you, I do not know what came over me and what had really happened. Someone came to my house and told me something serious was going to happen to me but I did not take it seriously,” the 50-year-old noted.


Both he and the evil spirit should be flogged with hot iron and locked up for a very long time.

Biafria: PDP Cautions Buhari, APC Of The Danger Ahead

Read the press statement below...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is deeply concerned about the unfolding political events and developments in the South East and South South of Nigeria.

The PDP also stated that it is not comfortable with the methods being applied by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government in handling of restive youths in the South South and South East geo-political zones, who are agitating under the Biafra movement, and urged the President to personally intervene as the matter affects the territorial integrity of Nigeria.

The party said it is concerned that the Federal Government and its agencies have failed to approach the situation with the inclusiveness and seriousness it deserves, but have instead been resorting to the use of security forces.

PDP National Youth Leader, Hon. Abdullahi MaiBasira said in a statement on Saturday that President Buhari and his party should be held to account for the escalation of the agitation, which threatens the unity and national security interests of Nigeria as an indivisible entity.

The PDP also urged the ruling party to ensure and guarantee an inclusive administration that will promote harmony among all sections of the country.

The party further notes the seemingly lack of any clear-cut policy direction that concerns the development, mainstreaming and inclusion of young people in the country by the Federal Government, a worrisome issue that brings to question APC’s campaign promise to generate and give 3 million jobs annually to Nigerian Youths.

“The fact that none of the President's ministerial appointees confirmed by Senate is below 40 years also puts to question APC's belief for the next generation of leaders, mentorship and transfer of responsibility. So far, the resultant effect of this lack of clear-cut policy is the stagnation of the economy and laying-off of thousands of people from their jobs.

“Rather than the use of force as an option which usually fails as a solution in this type of self inflicted socio political problem, President Buhari should as a matter of national interest and practical necessity, make haste to call representatives and leaders of the South East for discussions before the situation deteriorates”, the party said.

The PDP said President Buhari and his party should know that sidelining any section of the country is bound to generate unhealthy relations among all integral parts of the Nigerian people.

The party said that cohesion, development, prosperity and unity should be paramount in government policy and warned that unless and until all sections of the country are accommodated, certain sections will experience civil tension and agitations as a means of expressing their discontent.

“Finally, as young people who believe in the present and future stability of Nigeria; we urge President Buhari to see himself as the father of the nation and try to open his heart to all by carrying everybody along and through that, create enabling environment for peace, progress and development in the interest of all”, the statement said.

National Youth Leader

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger spotted at the club together

Lewis  Hamilton’s on-off romance with Nicole Scherzinger could be back on track after they were spotted sneaking out of a club just minutes apart. The F1 champ, 30, and the former X Factor judge, 37, spent four hours in a private room with just one of Lewis’s friends and a few of Nicole’s for company. Lewis left London hotspot The Box at 5.40am on Saturday and Nicole followed five minutes later.

 

A source said: “They arrived separately to watch a John Newman performance and sat at different tables. But then they were taken to a private room. John and 5 Seconds Of Summer were in a second one. The Box’s security were not allowed in Nicole and Lewis’s room and told to not let anybody else in. They stayed well after the club shut. Staff were desperate for them to leave!”

A source close to Nicole claimed the pair are not back together and it was “a complete coincidence” they were at The Box together.

The couple have split up four times during their seven-year relationship.They were last seen together at the start of the year shortly before their most recent rift.

Photos from the building collapse in Lagos that killed 4 children from one family

Four boys between the ages of 13 and 23 months from one family were killed after a mudslide due to the heavy rainfall in Lagos yesterday morning at about 4.15am, buried them alive while they were still sleeping in their home at Orisha Street, Isheri Magodo, Imodium, Ojodu/Berger in Lagos.

NEMA officials say the area is a flood prone area and people living in the area had been told to vacate the area due to the heavy rainfall that is being expected in the coming weeks and the poor topography of the area.

Unfortunately, this particular family failed to heed this advice, losing  four of their sons in the mudslide. The distraught father of the boys was inconsolable as he kept on asking "Where is God?. There mother is said to be lying unconcious in a hospital. Sad.
