BREAKING: Secondary school teacher arrested for raping two girls within 24 hours in Ogun (Video)

A secondary school teacher, Lateef Olaniran, has been arrested for allegedly raping two young ladies within 24 hours in Ogun state.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Adijat Olaleye, on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.

According to the statement, Olaniran is a native of Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State, and is a Mathematics teacher at Ebenezer Grammar School, Iberekodo, Abeokuta.

It was said that he is an employee of the Ogun State Teaching Service Commission with the number, OGNO.30650.

The commissioner explained further saying, he was arrested on Saturday when a member of her team got a call from a young lady reporting that a man had raped her.

The Commissioner said the Ministry swung into action and located the victim, who she said was taken to a laboratory for different tests before she was later led to the police station to make a report.

The Commissioner added that the girl crying in the teacher’s room during his arrest also accused him of “forcibly having sexual intercourse with her and threatening to kill her if she does not ask her family to send him money.”

Adeleye confirmed that the suspect has been remanded at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters for more investigations.

Breaking: Women protest against return of armed Okuama youths (+ Photos)

The women of Okoloba community in Bomadi local government area, weekend, protested against what they called the return of armed youths of Okuama in Ughelli South local government area, who they alleged were threatening the peace of the riverine area.

The placard carrying women, led by the chairlady of Okoloba community, Mrs Timipakebi Goodwin, and secretary, Mrs Mary Koibi, staged a peace protest on black attires along the coastal fringe of Okoloba community, chanting against violence and bloodbath, as well as sending an S.O.S. to the federal government to come to their aid.

Some inscriptions on the placards read: ‘We say No to violence’, ‘Enough of the killings on our land’, ‘Armed Okuama youths returning in a commando style’, ‘We say No to the return of armed youths of Okuama’, ‘Resettle Okuama people among their Ewu brothers in Ughelli South LGA’, ‘We mourn the killing of the 17 soldiers’ and among others.

The chairlady of Okoloba, Mrs Goodwin, speaking to newsmen with a written address that was made available to security apparatuses, which include the police, DSS, NSCDC, JTF as well as the acting chairman of Bomadi local government council, noted that the latest killing by the youths of Okuama showed that they could kill human beings at the slightest provocation.

The women’s presentations as well as the written address read in part: “First, we the women of Okoloba community sympathize with the killing of 17 soldiers and officers of the Nigerian army on a peace and rescue mission to Okuama, following the kidnap of our son. We sincerely mourn their untimely death and pray for the repose of their souls. We also pray for their families.

“However, less than 24 hours after the exit of the troops from Okuama, fresh crisis erupted with another neighbouring community, culminating in the killing of one person while three other persons were seriously injured. The person who was killed and those sustaining machete wounds were alleged to have gone there to loot.

“The latest killing showed that the people of Okuama can kill a human at the slightest provocation; the sanctity of human life means nothing to them. It also shows that neighbouring Ijaw communities like Okoloba are not safe.

“So, resetting the people of Okuama in their present location, which is in-between communities in Bomadi local government area, is an attempt to encourage further communal clashes and bloodbath.

“Just last week, youths of Okuama community came out of the Mein-toruabubor creek, which leads to Ewu, on three speedboats and all of them on camouflage. They shot sporadically in the air before proceeding to OKuama. They moved to and fro the creek three times, and at every time they shot their guns in the air at the entrance of the creek.

“We are calling on the federal government to come to our aid, and the panacea to these incessant clashes and killings is for the government to relocate Okuama to Ewu clan in Ughelli South Local Government Area, where they truly and rightly belong.

“Resettling them among their own people in Ewu clan of Urhobo land will foster mutual trust among themselves as they are of the same ancestry and speak the same dialect”.

Attacker of Nancy Pelosi’s husband gets 30-year imprisonment

Attacker of Nancy Pelosi’s husband gets 30-year imprisonment

David DePape, the man convicted of attacking Paul Pelosi, the husband of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Friday. This follows a November 2023 jury verdict that found DePape guilty of assaulting Paul Pelosi with a hammer at the couple’s California residence and attempting to kidnap Nancy Pelosi.

The attack occurred in October 2022, when DePape, a Canadian former nudist activist, broke into the Pelosis’ home to confront Nancy Pelosi about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Upon encountering Paul Pelosi, 82, instead, DePape repeatedly demanded, “Where’s Nancy?” before attacking Paul with a hammer, causing a skull fracture and other injuries.

In court, Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley noted that despite DePape’s lack of criminal history and susceptibility to conspiracy theories, the violence of the attack was “completely gratuitous.” Prosecutors had recommended a 40-year prison sentence, arguing that the severity and premeditation of DePape’s actions warranted the maximum penalties under the law.

During his testimony, DePape expressed regret for harming Paul Pelosi, stating, “He was never my target, and I’m sorry that he got hurt.” However, federal prosecutors emphasized the need for a significant sentence to meet sentencing goals and prevent similar future acts.

The Department of Justice, in a letter dated May 10, had argued that a 30-year sentence alone would not suffice, recommending a cumulative sentence that included 20 years for attempted kidnapping and 30 years for assault, to be served consecutively. They also suggested terms of supervised release and special assessments per count.

The incident was captured on video, showing the moments leading up to the attack as police officers arrived at the scene. Despite instructions from the officers, DePape refused to drop the hammer and proceeded to strike Paul Pelosi.

Paul Pelosi underwent successful surgery for his injuries and continues to recover from the physical and psychological effects of the attack. Nancy Pelosi, in her statement to the court, highlighted the lasting trauma her family has endured and urged for a “very long” sentence for DePape.
