Mother Of Three and Pastor Lover Collabo to Murder Husband

It was quite sad and a pathetic end for Mr Victor Nsongbunyo, an indigene of Akwa Ibom state and Deputy Manager at the Nigeria Petroleum Development (NPDC) Company, Benin City. The deceased allegedly murdered by his wife Mrs Enebong Victor and her Pastor boy friend, Prince Udoka Nkanchukwu who were paraded by the Edo state Police Commissioner, Funso Adebanjo last Tuesday.

Saturday Vanguard learnt that the deceased who was recently promoted to the position of Deputy Manager, was due to retire next year. It was learnt that the decease and his wife had been having issues with the paternity of their children after the deceased suspected the wife was having an extra marital affair with the Pastor.

The deceased was said to have visited home to complain to both his family and that of his wife after suspecting that the current pregnancy which is being carried by the wife was not from him. Consequently, the families resolved that a DNA would be conducted after giving birth to the child. Saturday Vanguard further learnt that it was this arrangement that infuriated the wife that led her into plotting to murder her husband with her lover Pastor.

*Mrs Isonguyo

Friday October 22, 2013, It was learnt that the Pastor whom Vanguard gathered has been a close family friend, called the deceased on telephone and told him he wanted to see him. The deceased was said to have drove to somewhere along Sapele road, to meet with the Pastor. On getting there, it was gathered that the Pastor entered the vehicle and stabbed the deceased twice. As if that was not enough, he drove the car to hidden destination along Sapele road and set both the car and the deceased car ablaze.

On Monday 25, the wife was said to have gone to the office to report that the husband was missing. But apparently after visiting the husband’s office, she went straight to the bank and withdrew N4milion from the husband’s account.

The wife of the deceased also went to the police to report the incident. However, staff of the NDDC was informed that people observed a burnt car and somebody inside it somewhere along Sapele Road, they quickly rushed down and found it was that of Mr Nsongbunyo. The shocked NPDC staff went back to the deceased wife at their home to inform her of the situation but found her sitting comfortably at home watching African Magic. However, detectives intensified search for the deceased new car which was given to him by the company following his promotion. The car, a Volkswagen Passat car was tracked to a compound at Ekenwan road Benin City.

Vanguard learnt that a lady was accosted by detectives in the compound and she confessed that the car was packed by a Pastor that lives in the compound. When the Pastor came out, detectives observed burns in his left hand and his face. The Pastor disclosed that one of his daughters in the church sowed a seed with the car. He subsequently took them to the residence of the deceased where it was discovered that it was the deceased wife.

The duo were arrested immediately and according to the state Police commissioner, have confessed to have committed the dastard act.  According to Adebanjo,  “what happened was that the Pastor called the deceased to come and meet him somewhere along Sapele Road, when the deceased got there the Pastor stabbed him twice and then burnt the car.

The woman gave the husband’s new car to the Pastor and we found the car with the Pastor. A 2013 model of Volkswagen car. It is a very sad and wicked act. After killing the man in his vehicle he set the car ablaze. The Pastor changed the plate number of the car and put a fake one after he murdered the man. It was when we saw the burnt in his hand that we knew that he was involved. Though he has confessed and after now we will take them to court. They both confessed that they are lovers but I believe that it was wicked on their part to have plotted the killing of the man.

Mrs Isonguyo who denied she was having extra marital affairs with the Pastor, narrated that “when I did not see my husband I ran to the Pastor because we have known for a very long time. I took my husband’s new car to him to sow a seed in the church so that my husband will be found. I told him to take it to the church but I don’t know that he went and changed the plate numbers.I had to ask him to pray harder because I love my husband and I don’t want anything to happen to him.

I did not kill my husband because I loved him. I brought the car and told him to take it to his church and sow a seed that I want God to answer my prayers so that my husband will come back. I told him to take it to the church because even if it is a house I would have taken it to sow a seed for my husband to come back. I gave it to him but what I did not know was that he went to change the plate number and other papers that have to do with the car.

I was lying down in the house at about 11pm that day when the police came and arrested me”. Asked if she is having extra marital affair with the Pastor, she asserted “ God forbid, I have not had any affair with the Pastor. The Pastor has been a close family friend and we always give him cloths to go and share in the orphanages. And even when I travelled with my husband we gave him our ATM card so that he can take care of our poultry and whatever that is needed to be done. He has been very honest to us so I don’t know what is happening”.

She further denied having quarrel with the late husband, asserting that “Until I came to this place nobody told me that my husband is dead. I pray that God should intervene because I have never committed any crime before in my life. I want God to intervene in this matter. I have three boys for my husband, 17, 16 and 15 years”.

In his confession, Pastor Ukachukwu whom Vanguard learnt has not been to their church, Land of Evidence Church along Airport Road Benin City, said he kicked against bringing the car to him by the deceased wife but decided to accept it when she insisted that she wanted to sow a seed. According to him “I have been a family Pastor and sometimes I pick their children from school.

She called me and said that she wanted to give me a car to sow a seed in my church. When she even brought the car I asked her why she should bring the car in the middle of this crisis but she said her husband is worth more than any material thing that she can make any sacrifice for her husband. I changed the plate number because any gift for Pastors you have to change it in order to be able to drive the car”. CP Adebanjo said the duo would be charged to court for murder.

By Pumza FihlaniBBC News, Mthatha

When 91-year-old Nozolile Mtirara speaks of Nelson Mandela, she speaks of a simple man.

The widow of one of Mr Mandela's cousins - and close childhood friend - she remembers a man who enjoyed eating sheep tripe and reminiscing about his days as a young herd boy.

The two met when Nozolile married Justice Mtirara in 1945 when she was 18 years old, and she eventually became one of Mr Mandela's close confidantes.

Nozolile Mtirara and Mandela shared a special bond

After he retired from public life, Mr Mandela had more time to devote to friends and family, and he and Mrs Mtirara spent many happy afternoons together, she says.

Changed relationship

Mr Mandela came to live with Mr Mtirara in 1927, after leaving his childhood home of Qunu, in Eastern Cape province, to stay with his uncle, Paramount Chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo.

The mud hut which Mr Mandela shared with Mr Mtirara, is still standing. It is decorated in a faded paint and a bright blue door, as it was when Mr Mandela lived there.

Mrs Mtirara has looked after the family homestead, the Mqhekezweni Great Place, for decades.

This won her great favour with him, and their relationship changed from that of in-laws to close friends.

A few years after he was freed from prison, he built her a seven-bedroom Tuscan-style house.

Pictures of Mr Mandela are hanging in Mrs Mtirara's dining room.

Many of them are taken with her children, who call him grandfather.

There are plans to turn Nelson Mandela's former home into a national heritage site

Journeying to the past

Once or twice a year, Mr Mandela would drive the treacherous gravel road between Qunu and Mqhekezweni to visit Mrs Mtirara and share a meal followed by hours of conversation about his childhood.

These visits were a great pleasure for both of them, says Mrs Mtirara.

"He had a childlike spirit, even in his old age. His face would light up when he shared stories about his childhood," she says.

After Mr Mandela was expelled from Fort Hare University at the age of 22, Chief Dalindyebo insisted that both men take wives.

"They did not want to get married so they decided to run away, to a place far from the rule of the chief," recalls Mrs Mtirara.

"He and my late husband stole a couple of Chief Dalindyebo's oxen and sold them so they could have money to go to Johannesburg and begin a new life."

"Mandela said his uncle was furious when he heard what they had done and sent word to Johannesburg for them to return home. Justice did, but Mandela stayed a bit longer and got involved in politics," she adds.

In the 1950s and 1960s, a young and vocal Mr Mandela became the face of the black struggle against apartheid - leading to his arrest and decades of incarceration.

'Mischievous and curious'

He was next to return to the home he loved as an elderly man - a man who had captured the hearts of a nation as South Africa's first black president.

Still this is not the man Mrs Mtirara celebrates.

On his visits they would walk in the yard, both using walking sticks.

A big tree in the middle of the yard marks where a traditional court used to be held.

"The community would bring their cases here for the chief to rule on. Mandela would often listen in. He was a curious and mischievous boy," she says as we walk past the tree, retracing the path she walked so many times with Mr Mandela.

As Mr Mandela grew more frail, he limited his visits to Qunu and would instead send his grandson Mandla or his driver to fetch Mrs Mtirara - and so the lunch and story ritual continued.

Mrs Mtirara says she was always given pride of place at Mr Mandela's table.

Conversations steered clear of his life on Robben Island, she says, as if he wanted to keep the man he was to the world separate from the man he was to his friends and family.

"It was as if he only wanted to remember the simpler times, when he was an ordinary boy growing up in a small village, and we allowed him this," she says.

MESUT OZIL FINDS ARSENAL TO BE THE PERFECT CLUB

Mesut Ozil went back to his childhood to become part of the Arsenal family.

He first started playing football as a kid in Gelsenkirchen in what was known as the “monkey cage”, helping explain his close control, ability under pressure and skill that has lit up the Premier League.

This week, the memories came flooding back when he had a kickabout at Dennis Bergkamp’s Cruyff Court with a group from one of The Arsenal Foundation’s beneficiaries - Freedom From Torture, who use football as a therapeutic tool.

Enjoy the interview with the mercurial German..

“It did remind me of that,” said Germany international Ozil. “The one I played in as a boy was worse than this one because the surface was much rougher, there were stones and it really hurt when you fell. It partly shaped the way I play, it teaches you something.

“I’m really proud to be part of this Arsenal family here.

“As a footballer, we’re out and about, on the road all of the time, it’s great to just stop for a moment, see these things.

“It’s actually what I said right when I joined Arsenal. When people tried to convince me when I came here, it was that family spirit at Arsenal which convinced me mainly. This is exactly part of that, what we’ve seen here.”

Ozil, 25, his colleagues in the first-team squad and boss Arsene Wenger are donating a day’s wages to the Gunners' charity partners for Everton’s visit on Sunday.

It is a gesture which, like the rest of the club’s philosophy, Ozil has bought into.

For a world-class player and Arsenal’s £42million record signing, the Germany star has no ego and appears softly spoken and humble.

After signing on deadline day, Ozil insisted on going round the whole club - from accounts to catering - to introduce himself.

Pressure? What pressure? Ozil's Real Madrid stint was tougher than playing for Arsenal

 

He is enjoying his new life and the change of pace from Real Madrid. But if there is anything he took from his time in Spain it was handling the expectation that goes with such a huge fee.

Ozil smiles when asked if he feels the pressure at Arsenal as he was bought to try to help win them the title this season.

“I’ve played for Real Madrid, where the pressure is so huge because you have to go and really win absolutely every game,” he said.

“So after having played there for three years, pressure doesn’t scare me. That’s why I don’t really feel the pressure. The second thing is that what I do on a daily basis is what I love.

“I love playing football so I go out to play football and I don’t really feel pressure. Of course, there are some days when things don’t work out as well as on other days but that doesn’t have anything to do with pressure.”

Ozil has found a house in London and is adapting to English football - and a hectic fixture list which he reveals is described in Germany as “English weeks.”

Also telling is his admiration for Wenger.

“He was the one who convinced me to come here and now I can say that I couldn’t be any happier than to be here,” added Ozil. “He really loves football. I hope he will stay here for many more years and be successful.

“I think this really has been the perfect step for me to come and join this club. We have some very talented players here and this is why I think we can achieve something great.

"We have to develop further to achieve this, but we can do it.”

Arsenal’s match against Everton tomorrow is dedicated to The Arsenal Foundation. Arsene Wenger and the first-team squad will donate a day’s wages to support a variety of projects which reach young people to transform lives.

ANGOLA DENIES BANNING ISLAM

Angola denies it has banned Islam

Government statement says there is "no war" against religion following allegations authorities had destroyed mosques.

Angola's oil boom has attracted large west and north African Muslim expatriates [EPA]

Angola's government has denied it had banned Islam and closed mosques in the country, after media speculation that sparked outrage among Muslims worldwide. "There is no war in Angola against Islam or any other religion," said Manuel Fernando, director of the National Institute for Religious Affairs, part of the ministry of culture,  onTuesday. "There is no official position that targets the destruction or closure of places of worship, whichever they are." Fernando told AFP news agency. David Ja, a spokesman for local Muslims, challenged the government's account and said that a number of mosques had already been closed. But according to the ministry of culture, those closures were related to a lack of necessary land titles, building licenses or other official documents. A witness in the province of Uige (Carmona) told Al Jazeera that the closed mosques were hastility built by expatriate communities from west and north Africa who needed a place to perform Friday prayers. “It’s true that several mosques have been destroyed and others simply shut down in the last few months. Most of the mosques that were destroyed were built without government permission. Two authorised mosques in Luanda are still operating without a problem. I have not heard of any official decision to ban Islam or prohibit Muslim prayers in mosques.” Ahmed ould Taher told Al Jazeera. Worldwide media coverage Reports that Angola, a traditionally devout Catholic nation, would crack down on Muslims had drawn condemnation from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and others. In Egypt, mufti Shawqi Allam said such a move would be "a provocation not only to Angolan Muslims but to more than 1.5 billion Muslims all over the world". The issue, which was first reported late last week, attracted huge media coverage worldwide and generated strong reactions on social media. The controversy was further fueled by the government's poor communication on the issue.  The oil-rich southern African nation has a population of about 18 million people, several hundred thousand of whom are Muslims. Religious organisations are required to apply for accreditation in Angola, which currently recognises 83, all of them Christian. In October the justice ministry rejected the applications of 194 organisations, including one from an umbrella Islamic community group. Angola's oil boom has attracted large expatriate communities from across the world.

ANGOLA BAN ISLAM

Angola has reportedly declared Islam illegal and ordered for all of the country’s mosques to be closed down.

Minister of culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that mosques in the largely Christian country would be closed until further notice.

She described Islam as a ‘sect’ that would be banned as counter to Angolan customs and culture.

There are unconfirmed reports that mosques across the African country are being destroyed, according to the International Business Times.

President Jose Edurado dos Santos reportedly told the Osun Defence daily: ‘This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country.’

Along with Islam, which is a religion associated with less than 1 per cent of the population of 19 million, 194 other ‘sects’ have been banned in the nation, where more than half the population is Christian.

Ms Cruz e Silva said: ‘The legalisation of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights [and] their mosques will be closed until further notice.’

Clashes between Christians and Muslim people are frequently reported in the local media.

Less than 1 per cent of the Angolan population of 19 million people are Muslim

9ICE OPENS UP WHY HE DENIED HIS TWIN DAUGHTERS

9ice Explains Why He Denied His Twin Daughters

Shortly after his marriage to ex-wife Toni Payne packed up in 2010, Gongo Aso crooner 9ice welcomed a set of twin daughters with another lady Vicki Gordis.

When the news first became public, 9ice fiercely denied the story, saying the press had made it up. Not until he proudly shared the pictures of his adorable twins on Instagram some weeks back.

And in this new interview with Punch, 9ice finally explains why he lied. Why did you deny you had twins when they were born?

- I did say I didn’t have twins then because I believe it was personal. If I have N1m, I think it is only my account’s officer that should know how much I have. In fact, he wouldn’t even have the right to check my account unless I ask him to do that. He couldn’t just cull up my account details and start checking how much I have. This is not a car we are talking about, these are human beings.

But when they grow up, do you think they will forgive you when they read that you once denied them?

- I will tell them the reason I did that. It was the same way my father gave me his own reasons. I didn’t know him until I was 22. I got to know my mother when I was 18. They gave me their reasons for doing what they did. I asked my father where he was all the time I was growing up and he told me where and how and when he was a part of my life. If my kids grow up to ask me why I did what I did, I would certainly explain to them. I didn’t say I didn’t have kids just because I wanted to lie, No. I had my reasons. I had my life to live.

You are in showbiz, so you shouldn’t expect to have a private life…

- But there are still some elements that are personal. I didn’t fight anybody when the stories came out. I just didn’t say anything because I wasn’t ready to talk about it. I wasn’t ready to share the story. When I got ready, I even shared the pictures of the twins. Who knows, I could have even used their pictures to make money and sell to a publication that wanted them. But I just released the pictures.

Do we see you getting married to their mother soon?

- I will get married soon. It is very possible.

But is she the one you are with at the moment?

- I am not saying anything on that. No comment.

Let’s go back to what you said earlier on about not knowing your parents until you were a young man, how did it happen?

- It is going to be in my autobiography. I am going to make money out of the story. I am not divulging it. Nobody knows about it yet.

Kelechi Iheanacho Set To Join Manchester City

Wonderkid Kelechi Iheanacho will sign a deal with Manchester City, according to the player’s father.

Iheanacho was named the best player at November’s Under-17s World Cup after scoring six goals, including one in the final, as the Golden Eaglets triumphed in the United Arab Emirates.

He has since been linked with moves to Porto and Chelsea but his father, James, said that the Etihad Stadium will be his boys’ next destination.

Kelechi Iheanacho

“As I am talking to you, I have chosen that Kelechi is going to Manchester United,” he told Super Sport’s ‘Monday Night Football’, before appearing to correct himself by saying: “I have told you that he is going to Manchester City.”

Iheanacho senior later said that the player’s family made a joint decision on where he would go in a meeting on Monday night. “We prayed [on Monday] and, after due consultations with family members, we came up with Manchester City, believing he has a future there,” he explained. “That is where he will be uplifted.”

The young striker had been declared missing by his father on Friday after he had left his home in Owerri without alerting his family but returned early on Monday morning before a decision on his future was made.

James has been integral in his son’s fledgling career, with rumours that he had valued the starlet at €1 million (£840,000), though he denied those claims, declaring: “No, those people are my enemies. I never said that.”

Why this man is the richest AGBERO in NIGERIA...

That sunny Sunday afternoon, I remembered I had an invite to attend  a Quranic graduation of a blossom friend's cousin somewhere around Isolo, Lagos, Nigeria.. So I quickly set out as I have promised, on getting there, it feels like another Mecca in Isolo, I met with my friends Taiwo and Kehinde Aileru.

We listen to the graduands  churning out Quranic verses like they were Arabs, I enjoyed  every bit of it, but to my surprise, the Lady singer sang praises of each graduating student after reciting the Quran, also never stops mentioning one name MC OLU-OMO of OSHODI, I looked around but the man himself isn't around, I kept thinking, "why is this woman singing praises of MC OLU-OMO"

To my greatest surprise the man himself (MC OLU-OMO of OSHODI) appeared from nowhere, the whole place went agog, it was like the  arrival of the president, he came in with a personal aide and entourage which include a Nollywood Actor (Olaiya) and others..

He came out to deliver his speech, very humble and decent, also makes some Quranic quotations in his speech, looks a perfect gentleman, above all he made a donation of #500'000 and also gave all the 8 graduating student the sum of #50'000. The Alfas were not also left out in the Largesse of MC OLU-OMO of OSHODI, they also got 50'000
