Enugu governorship election tribunal dismisses the allegation of Edeoga/LP that Governor Peter Mbah's NYSC discharge certificate was forged.

Tribunal rejects Edeoga's witnesses, rules that the LP governorship candidate did not present any admissible evidence to prove that Mbah's certificate was forged.

: Police confirm death of female evangelist in Aba hotel during s3x session with church overseer

The Abia State Police Command, Thursday, confirmed the death of a female evangelist in an Aba hotel during a s*x session with the General Overseer of her church last Saturday night.

According to the Police Public Relations Officer, Chinaka Maureen, “On the 13th of August, 2023, at approximately 09:30 AM, Mr. Godwin Akpan (male), residing at Jubilee Guest House in Ovom village, Obingwa LGA, reported to the Isiala Ngwa Police Division that an incident had occurred.

“It was revealed that on the evening of the 12th of August, 2023, around 09:25 PM, a clergyman named Timothy Otu (male), associated with Agape Evangelical Ministry at Obikabia Junction in Obingwa LGA, had checked into the guest house along with a woman named Happiness Echieze (female) from Isialangwa LGA, Abia State. Happiness Echieze was 43 years of age.

“Further details provided by Mr. Akpan indicated that on the same date, around 12:00 AM, he entered the hotel room of the aforementioned clergyman and discovered the lifeless body of Happiness Echieze. She was found unclothed, and a white substance was emanating from her mouth and nose. Regrettably, the clergyman was absent from the scene.

“We hereby inform the public that immediate preliminary investigations have been launched into this matter. The deceased’s body has been transported from the location and is currently at the SDA Mortuary in Aba, awaiting an autopsy examination.

“Additionally, we wish to convey that the suspected individual, in this case, has been apprehended and the case has been transferred to the State CID for discreet investigations.”

The married church evangelist and mother of five was found dead in a hotel room, allegedly during a marathon s*x session with her church overseer in the guest house.

Probably starved of s*x because her husband works in Bayelsa, she decided to take to the church Bishop for comfort when nature calls.

The deceased evangelist had lodged in a hotel with the Bishop/General Overseer of the church and a source said “nobody knows how long this had been happening,” stating that the evangelist, reported to have died in the hotel room around 11 pm on Saturday, August 12, 2023, arrived the guest jouse probably around 9 pm, having told her children that she was going for a “Tarry Night” church service that usually would have ended by about 12:30 am the next Sunday.

“Either it was pre-arranged or her inability to come home after the church service may have prompted her to accept being quartered in the quest house till morning,” the source said.

It was reported that at about 10:55 pm, the Bishop, who had lodged in with her, looking horribly disturbed, surfaced at the hotel front desk, telling those on the night shift that he was going to buy food at that time of the night.

“The hotel workers promptly reported the observation to the manager who went to the room to know what happened, only to see the lifeless naked body of the evangelist on the hotel bed,” the source said.

The manager of the hotel, who suspected foul play, was said to have reported the incident to the Eastern Ngwa Police Station in Obingwa Local Government Area around 1 am on Sunday morning.

“The woman was found lying naked with foam coming out of her mouth and nose when police arrived the scene,” it was reported, observing that when her mobile phone was accessed, it was discovered that the duo have been in a romantic relationship for quite some time.

The bishop, relatively known in Aba, was subsequently arrested at his Church at Obikabia Junction while preaching that Sunday morning and is said to be currently detained at the Eastern Ngwa Police Station Obingwa.

The deceased is said to be a native of Umuatakawom in Obingwa, while her husband was said to be at work in Bayelsa State when the incident happened.

: Gunmen Raze Imo Monarch's Country Home, Vehicles, As Villagers Flee

Gunmen have razed the country home of the traditional ruler of Ndia Iche Arondizuogu community in the Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, Eze Kanu Ikenolu.

The development has caused panic in the community as villagers including the household of the monarch fled into bushes.

Our correspondent gathered that on arrival, the attackers threw explosives into the mansion which led to the burning of the house, the properties in it and vehicles parked at the compound.

Our correspondent further gathered that the compound which houses the traditional ruler's home and his palace were heavily attacked by the invaders.

A villager who doesn't want to be mentioned told our correspondent that properties worth millions of Naira were destroyed by the arsonists.

He decried the police's inability to intervene as they were told as the arsonists struck.

The villager said" the palace of HRH Eze Ikenolu, the Eze of Ndia iche Arondizuogu has been invaded by the Unknown Gunmen and the people are in the bushes now."

Frustrated by the police's inability to respond, in an update a while later he said "until now no response from the police about the palace of HRH Eze Kanu in Ndianiche Arondizuogu, where cars, house and properties worth millions of naira were destroyed. Or is Arondizuogu no longer part of Imo State?."

The spokesperson for the police in the state Henry Okoye who confirmed the arson to our correspondent said "frantic investigating efforts are on top gear to arrest the arsonists and bring them to justice."

The Truth About The D£ath Of Miss Chinyere Awuda (Miss Chizzy)

Contrary to widespread reports, Miss Chinyere Awuda popularly known as "Miss Chizzy" was not beaten to d£ by anyone at Cosmila Hotel in Awka.
As a matter of fact, the said event never happened at Cosmila hotels, it happened at a club house owned by cosmila as a company as also confirmed by the police.

Findings from For the Love of Anambra shows that Miss Chizzy's d£ath was n0t due to any altercations or physical assualt as widely rep0rted.

The lady, who hails from Nnobi in Idemmili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, was found d£ in an abandoned swimming pool in the premises of the hotel on Monday morning. CCTV images which was obtained by For The Love Anambra clearly showed what happened..the said chizzy was seen running all by herself looking for somewhere to hide.

Fun seekers at the club were spraying money on a celebrant who was celebrating the launch of his new clothing brand. Chizzy who was at the arena was sighted picking this monies which were clearly not hers. She did not only pick some sprayed money from the ground, she also went for bundles of money, which was gifted to the celebrant and he kept it by his seat side.

A fun seeker who was monitoring the situation called the attention of the fun seekers and on being noticed, Miss Chizzy took to her heels and in the process went to hide at the old swimming pool which was no longer in use. She will later be discovered dead the next morning.

The Spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga who confirmed the incident has revealed that the celebrant and his friends were already in police custody while the case is being investigated.

The management of Cosmila Hotel who spoke to For The Love Of Anambra has been very corporative with the police as it concerns the ongoing investigations.

We will update the public with further findings even as investigations continue.
