student became unconscious, the prostitute gathered every electronic
gadget in his house. However, luck ran out on her as she was nabbed by
vigilant neighbours. They tied her up as they waited for the police to
arrive.

This Is the Secret To Actress Funke Adesiyan Remarkable Cleavage
Most celebrities who are known for their br**sts are known for their large size, or surgical enhancements. While many have had b00b jobs, others have relied on supportive bras to push up, or padded bras to enhance their feature.
As you read, the actress is the most recent celebrity to be attacked on her deceptive appearance.
The actress, who has grown her social media profile through her strong s*x appeal tactics has suddenly lost her gigantic bosom overnight as seen in the comparison photo below.
However, some of her loyal fans have come to her defense saying, the actress recently shed some weight which automatically affected the size of her mammary glands.
Others believe the star had always padded her b**bs in the past to make them look bigger than they really are.
There is no doubt that the actress is blessed with gigantic b*obs but it’s not as big as what she wants us to believe.
Still in doubt?
Wike Can’t Prove Corruption Allegation Against Me’
Minister of Transportation Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi restated yesterday that he ran a transparent government as Rivers State governor.
Amaechi spoke at a stakeholders’ forum on corruption organised by the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja.
He said Rivers State became the first to implement the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) Act in Nigeria during his tenure.
He said: “The State executive used to call the Director General of Public Procurement in the state as an alternative governor and that they wanted an amendment to that law.
The reason they wanted amendment is that he (DG) refused to increase the threshold to N100m per ministry, instead he reduced it to N10 million naira.

Customs Boss Laments Influx Of Illegal Arms
The
Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hammed Ali
(retd.), has raised the alarm over increasing influx of illegal firearms
into the country.
Mr. Ali, however, said the trend could be reversed if security agencies work hand-in-hand.
The Customs boss spoke in Abuja yesterday when the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, paid him a visit.
Ali said: “It is a must for us to curtail the influx of firearms. You could recall that the Libyan episode and Mali episode has now created more serious nature of circulation of arms in the whole of Africa.
“The influx of arms is what gives impetus for criminals to operate. If we are able to block and make sure that arms is not circulated the way it is, I am sure we will reduce to minimal the menace. Some of the people who are armed robbers and kidnappers, without arms in their hands, they cannot confront most of their victims”.

Shocking Photos Of A Body Builder Who Survives By Carrying His Heart In A Schoolbag
A bodybuilder who suffered heart failure was rushed to hospital for a
transplant – and now has an artificial heart he carries around in a
backpack.
Andrew Jones, from Conneticut, first became unwell in 2012 after struggling to breathe during a run.
He was horrified when two years later he started to cough up blood and developed a high fever.
In hospital, doctors diagnosed the 26-year-old with cardiomyopathy – a hereditary disease of the heart muscle – and soon he became so weak he couldn’t stand, walk or dress himself.
A few months later, medics told if he didn’t have a transplant immediately he would die.
As there were no organs available, he was fitted with a pacemaker and an artificial heart – which he now carries around in a bag on his back.
Despite his brush with death, he is now back to the gym and said he cries after workouts as he feels so ‘thankful to be alive’.
Recalling suffering from heart failure, Mr Jones said: ‘It’s something I would never want to wish upon my worst enemy.
‘You can’t breathe, you can’t think, you don’t eat and you don’t sleep.
He continued: ‘Living with this disease put me in a pattern with depression and physical pain.
‘I had to stop working because I wouldn’t be able to stand for more than 10 minutes.
‘I dreaded going to the kitchen because that meant that I had to go up and down my stairs.
‘I couldn’t even get dressed without panting and gasping for air – my life was falling apart and I just wanted relief.’
Cardiomyopathy isn’t a single condition, but a group of conditions that affect the structure of the heart and reduce its ability to pump blood around the body.
The heart muscle can become enlarged, thick, or rigid – or muscle can become replaced with scar tissue.
Mr Jones was devastated when his condition left him to weak to walk, let alone lift weights.
But since having the artificial heart implanted he has slowly recovered and is now back to training in the gym.
His artificial heart has two tubes that exit the body and are connected to a machine he carries around in a bag.
The machine delivers compressed air into the ventricles to allow blood to be pumped through the body.
His doctors have said as long as he tells his transplant routine about his weight-lifting routine, he is able to keep training.
He said: ‘I will never forget the day I had to throw in the towel until I started feeling better.
‘I tried my hardest to push through the shortness of breath, but I just could not train without my heart functioning properly.
‘Today, thanks to my medical devices, I feel like a new person.
‘I am almost back to the old Andrew that was able to train with passion and intensity.
‘I do everything I can without compromising my health and the security of my devices.’
Mr Jones even launched his own charity, Hearts at Large, to raise awareness for organ donations and has over 14,000 followers on his Instagram, @FitnessWithAJ.
Grateful to be alive, he now breaks down in tears at the gym as he is so happy he is still able to train.
He said: ‘I always loved working out and staying in shape, but I never actually took the time to be thankful to even have the ability to do so.
‘Now I end my workouts almost in tears because I am still alive and I feel amazing.’
While some would hide their scars, Mr Jones wears his with pride, and explains to anyone who asks why he carries a backpack with him everywhere.
He said: ‘I work in retail part-time and customers ask me all the time why I wear my backpack.
‘When I tell them what it is for the response is somewhere along the lines of shock.
‘They think I am pulling their leg, or seem surprised because I look healthy.
He continued: ‘I’m never afraid to go out in public or take off my shirt in front of other people.
‘I do try to be considerate because it is different and some people may feel uncomfortable.
‘But I have no problem explaining what my device is, how it works and why I need it.’
He said during his four-month stay in hospital, he was constantly reminded of how serious his circumstances were.
‘Despite this I couldn’t shake the thought of the people who aren’t healthy enough to even be considered for a transplant, or the people who don’t have access to good health care,’ he said.
‘That is what I want to change with Hearts at Large. We can advance our already incredible technology to save lives.’

Ondo APC, PDP Trade Accusations Over Jonathan’s N15bn For Mimiko’s Re-Election
The
Ondo State chapters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) have traded accusations over an allegation that
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan ordered the release of N15 billion
accruable to the state from excess crude oil, to fund Governor Olusegun
Mimiko’s re-election in 2012.
According to the Ondo APC, the money, which “purely belonged to the government”, was allegedly received by Mr. Mimiko through the bank accounts of his cronies, from the Ministry of Finance via the Central Bank of Nigeria.
But the PDP accused the opposition party in the state of “prosecuting
a disinformation agenda that is calculated to cause disaffection and
commotion”.
The APC insisted that Mimiko’s alleged action was wicked, unlawful and unacceptable to the people.
A statement by the party’s spokesman, Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya, yesterday in Akure, the state capital, said: “We have it on good authority that Mimiko collected N15 billion from the Federation Account on November 15, 2012, which he personally signed for”.
It said the action was against due process and deliberately orchestrated to siphon public funds, which has gone into private pockets with no records of it in the state.
The party, therefore, gave the governor seven days ultimatum to address the people on the alleged N15 billion and refund the money to the state treasury.
The statement warned that failure to meet the deadline, will force the opposition party to “write petitions to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to help the suffering people of Ondo State to recover the loots”.
But the PDP’s Publicity Secretary, Ayo Fadaka, described the APC’s allegations as mostly outlandish and pedestrian, even to the extent of being difficult for people to react to because of its ludicrous nature.
Fadaka said: “To set the records straight, however, there is no iota of truth in the allegation. Dr. Jonathan did not give out any money to pursue the re-election of Governor Mimiko as alleged. It is a blatant lie from the pool of APC’s fallacies”.

Indonesia Execution: Titus Igweh Begged To See His Wife And Kids
Indonesia has executed Michael Titus Igweh and two Nigerian drug convicts by firing squad, an official said.
The sister-in-law of Michael Titus Igweh,(pictured in veil holding up a family statement condemning the execution) who alleged police had applied electricity to his private parts to force him to confess to heroin possession, said his final request had been to see his wife and family for the last time.
However she said Mr Igweh’s wife was in Nigeria and would not arrive in Indonesia until Friday – hours after her husband was killed.
“Yesterday I met Titus and he was angry and upset,” Nila said. “He said: ‘What kind of justice is this? What kind of country is Indonesia?”
Nila said she had chosen to sacrifice her last-ever visit to Mr Igweh in order to tell his story to the media:
“At this time I believe there are two things that can help Titus, one is God and one is the media. If that was the last time to see Titus, than so be it.”
On Thursday morning 17 ambulances – 14 containing coffins – were ferried to Nusakambangan, known as Indonesia’s Alcatraz, where the prisoners will be strapped to wooden posts and shot dead by a firing squad.

Operation Awatse: Military Bombs Militants In Fatola, Scores Feared Dead
There was pandemonium on Thursday in the Arepo area of Ogun State and some part of Lagos State after the military bombarded the base of suspected militants in the states.
A source said the military attacked Fatola, the base of the militants, adding that houses around the area were shaken by the impact of bomb explosions on the Ijaw militants.
He said, “There has been a lot of commotion. The Nigerian Air Force bombarded Fatola, in Arepo, which is the base of the militants. They are shelling the place with fighter jets. Some soldiers also surrounded the area to make sure that if any of the militants should run out, they would be gunned down.”
A resident said people in the area had started fleeing their homes due to the bombardment.
Another resident in the Imushin area of Ogun State told our correspondent that two aircrafts were involved in the operation, adding that only one base of the militants was attacked.
He said, “An aircraft had actually been surveying the creek for the past three days. But a second one joined this evening around 6pm. All we heard was a sudden bomb blast released from the second aircraft. But it appeared that some of the militants had fled into the bush. There are four major bases of the militants in the creek and they are led by two men- OC and Agbala. If the military can get these two people, then they would have succeeded in clipping the wings of the militants.”
A community leader, who claimed to have spoken with one of the officers, said, “The military officer said residents should not panic because it was a military exercise. I also gathered that the casualty figure was high and that a lot of the militants had been killed.”
The Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, confirmed the operation, saying it involved the army and the navy.
He said, “The military only conducts its routine operation for the purpose of denying the vandals and other criminal elements from causing terror in the area. The operation, codenamed, Operation Awatse, was initiated by the defence headquarters to dominate the area with a view to flushing out all manners of criminals including militants and saboteurs. The operation involved the joint forces of the navy and army and it has been successful.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the police were part of the operation.
She said, “The Nigerian military and policemen from the Lagos and Ogun commands are part of the operation. We are sweeping through the waterways where we share boundaries to end the activities of the militants. It is a continuous exercise and we cannot tell the number of casualties.”
The acting Police spokesperson, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, promised to call back our correspondent, but he had yet to do so as of press time.
