  • Father of four dies during S3x with pregnant woman inside container

    A 30-year-old father of four has reportedly died inside a container during a sex romp with a pregnant woman at Ijora area of Lagos State.

    It was learnt that the incident occurred on Thursday at Whitesand community at Badia.

    The deceased, identified simply as Akin aka AK, was said to have been found dead, while the pregnant woman was gasping forbreathe.

    The woman, whose identity was yet to be ascertained, was said to have been pregnant for her husband, who later died.

    It was learnt that sympathisers invited policemen from Orile Police Station to the scene while the woman was rushed to a private hospital, where she was recuperating at press time.

    Akin was an agent with Betnaija Lotto, having two staking centres located at 24, Adunni Plaza and Plot 1, Badia Industrial Scheme, Ijora.

    When Akin’s wife heard what happened to her husband, she was said to have rained curses on him.

    She claimed that her late husband had abandoned her with children for three weeks without sending their feeding money.

    Akin owned a three-bed room flat at Sango area of Ogun State, where he resided with his family before his untimely death.

    He was also a merchant in orange business at Orile Iganmu fruit market. Akin was described as a jolly good fellow but a lover of the green bottles.

    Akin’s body was later released to his family members. His remains were interred in his Sango-Ota residence.

    The Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) in the area, who gave his name as Mr. Orebintin, said the incident was uncovered when the sales boy, who used the container as his sales centre, resumed for work for the day and found that the container was locked from within.

    Orebintan said all efforts to force the door of the container open proved abortive, until a cardboard attached to the roof of the container was removed.

    The OPC coordinator also noted that the lovers had on a generator close to the container, suggesting that they inhaled fumes from the generator.

    He said: “We are still in shock over how it happened because this is not the first time they have been sleeping inside the container.

    “It was the sales boy who drew our attention to it when he wanted to open the container for the day’s sales that the door was locked from inside. We assisted him by forcing the cardboard attached to the roof of the container open. To our surprise, the man was fond stone dead.”

    The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana, promised to get back to our correspondent. But was yet to do that at press time.

    My father died of coronavirus- Anthony Yarde

    Anthony Yarde’s father has died of coronavirus, the British boxer has revealed.

    The 28-year-old fighter, who said his father had been “fit with no health issues”, urged people to stay at home to help combat the spread of the virus in a statement released via Instagram.

    Yarde wrote, “I’m a very private person and tbh I’m still in shock but maybe this can help people stay at home.

    “My dad passed away from this virus yesterday and he was fit with no health issues. The more people go out and mingle the longer this isolation will last and the more it will spread.

    “I’m not a doctor but I do know if you stay home you are less likely to catch it or pass it on. It’s seriously not worth the risk.”

    A statement from Yarde’s promoter Frank Warren said, “Frank Warren and everyone at Queensberry Promotions would like to express sincere condolences to Anthony Yarde and his family after the untimely passing of his father.

    “Coronavirus is an issue affecting all of us, but that doesn’t make the individual casualties any less tragic.

    “We hope that his fans listen to Anthony’s heartfelt plea for people to take the governments advice seriously so we can try and minimize the suffering of others.”

     

  • Tyson Fury’s father sends message to Wilder

    Tyson Fury’s father sends message to Wilder

    Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury, has urged dethroned WBC champion, Deontay Wilder, not to seek a rematch with his son.

    Fury knocked out Wilder in the 7th round at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, USA, last weekend to regain the WBC world heavyweight title.

    Wilder has already announced his intention to trigger a rematch clause to face Fury.

    But John wants Wilder to focus his attention to fight British boxer, Anthony Joshua next because he can never beat Tyson, and his son has proved that he is too good for him.

    “I can’t blame Wilder [for his intention to trigger a rematch clause] because it is all about the money,” John Fury told IFL TV.

    “But I do not know what wants to do against Tyson because Tyson is only getting better.

    “He should forget Tyson because he is too good for him, and he has proved it.

    “Wilder could not beat him when he lost ten stone, and he got up from his best shots.

    “That was enough to tell him that the rematch should never happen.

    “Therefore, I expect him to go after AJ [Anthony Joshua] next.

    “Spread his wings because there are other boxers he can annihilate out there.”

  • EFCC foils father’s attempt to smuggle hard drug to detained son

    EFCC foils father’s attempt to smuggle hard drug to detained son

    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested a 60-year-old fish-farmer, Muyiwa Otuyalo, for attempting to smuggle a substance believed to be hard drug for his son, Damilola Otuyalo, who is currently in the custody of the commission’s Ibadan zonal office.

    The older Otuyalo was at the premises of the EFCC in Ibadan on Monday, supposedly to visit his son. But while discussing with the son, an officer noticed that he brought out a sachet of tablets and handed same to him. The officer subsequently raised alarm which led to the confiscation of the drug.

    When the in-house nurse was called upon for assessment of the content, it was revealed that the said item was Rohypnol, a tranquilizer used under strict prescription for treatment of severe insomnia and assist in anesthesia.

    The drug is said to possess high sedative effect and is rarely used except when prescribed by licensed medical officers.

    The younger Otuyalo was recently arrested after a criminal case of money laundering detected in the United Kingdom and reported against him. The case which involved £45,000 was a fragment of a wider one involving about £500,000 for which he has been declared wanted by the London’s Metropolitan Police. He has been on the wanted list of the International Police, Interpol, before the petition was filed at the EFCC, Ibadan zonal office.

    Officers of the Nigerian Interpol were already in contact with the commission in respect of the said case before the suspect’s father attempted to smuggle in the hard drug for him.

    Further investigations are ongoing, even as the commission intends to hand him over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), for possible prosecution of the suspected narcotic case.
