    I broke up with my ex for refusing to do ‘frog jump’ –Cossy Ojiakor

    Controversial actress, Cossy Ojiakor noted that she broke up with her ex-boyfriend for refusing to do frog jump.

    Speaking in a chat with Punch, the busty actress said: “My relationship with my ex-lover went sour because we allowed too many people to have a say in the relationship. Both of us are on talking terms and I have asked him why he said some false things about me on Instagram. He told me he had deleted the false claims from his page. When I leave a man, I do not try to go back to him. I try to leave in peace and avoid being enemies with my past lovers. I guess he was just trying to get attention. I think he did that to me because he was still mad at me.

    “We had a little misunderstanding and the rule was that if one party offended the other, the guilty person would do a frog jump. I also do it when I am wrong. However, he refused to do the punishment when he erred because his friends told him not to. But I have forgiven him.”

    Speaking further, she noted that she would rather adopt a child than getting married to a man she doesn’t love

    “ As a matter of fact, I may end up adopting a child, instead of having a baby for a man I am not in love with. I do not intend to change my life because of marriage. Nothing will stop me from being Cossy. My husband has to take me the way I am. I can only stop because of God and not because of any human being”.

  • Soldiers beat RCCG Pastor to stupor for refusing to ‘frog jump’

    A pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Abuja, Alex Ochienu, has narrated how he was beaten by two soldiers into coma for refusing to obey their order to do frog jumps.

    The cleric alleged that he was flogged by Cpl. M. Dankwa and his colleague whose name he did not know, until he collapsed and was rushed to the Gwarimpa General Hospital.

    The civil engineer said he was supervising construction works at Paradise Estate, Life Camp, Abuja when the soldiers invaded the site with officials of the Development Control Department and assaulted him and other workers.

    Accoromg to a report by Northern City News, Ochienu lost his phone during the incident which occurred on January 17, 2017 at 3pm.

    In Ochienu’s words: “The soldiers rushed into the site and ordered everyone to frog-jump; they flogged the workers and threatened to shoot us. I tried to explain to them that I was weak because I was fasting, but Dankwa was infuriated by my explanation.

    “He kicked me in the stomach; another soldier also joined in beating me till I collapsed. When they saw that I was almost lifeless, they left and I was rushed to the hospital by the workers.”

    The cleric said he learnt the soldiers apologised to the owners of the estate “for their mistake.”

    TheNewsGuru.com reports that Ochienu plans to take legal action against the Development Control Department and the military for the assault.

    The Paradise Estate Project Manager, Tobias Tokbe, said he was not at the scene, but added that beside Ochienu, another worker, Bem Ali, was also brutalised by the soldiers without any reason.

    He said, “I was discussing with the development control officials at the project office when I saw some workers carrying somebody and they told me Ochienu was beaten by the soldiers that accompanied the development control officials to the site; I was livid.

    “I immediately called the development control director who said he didn’t authorise the soldiers to attack anyone. We asked the soldier why he beat up the engineer and he said Ochienu grabbed his jacket, which we know was a lie.”

    Tokbe said the riot policemen guarding the estate almost fought with the soldiers after the incident.

    When contacted, the Development Control Director, Muktar Galadima, said he was informed about the incident and “I said sorry, but I didn’t see the victim of the attack.”
