This is the shocking story of a woman who was kidnapped by her lover and locked in a house for 9 years..She gave birth to 4 children while in captivity ..Culled from theSun
A woman from Delta State (names withheld by us) who was kidnapped nine years ago by her lover has miraculously regained her freedom. The woman who lived in the Ikotun Egbe area of Lagos stepped out of her lover’s house with her four children for the first time in nine years. The woman said to be a graduate and speaks fluent English narrated her ordeal to the people in the area who gathered around to have a glim of her.
Sunday Sun was told by eye witnesses that the woman’s lover who hails from Ekiti State loved her so much and wanted to marry her but because her family was against the relationship, he decided to kidnap her for keeps, to keep her away from her parents. He later took her to a wooden house he built for her in Okerube area of Abaranje, Ikotun, Lagos.
Neighbours said the woman claimed not to have known where she was kept because her lover would go to the market to get food for her and her children very early in the morning and threatened that she would die if she stepped out of the house. When he leaves, he makes sure he locks the house so she had no way of coming out. Sunday Sun was told that it was in the wooden house that the woman gave birth to her four children while the husband acted as the midwife.
Three weeks ago, her lover fell ill and could not as usual go out to fetch food all through the period of his illness. Extremely starved and weak, the woman forced him out on Friday, October 24, 2014 to get what they would eat and drink before they all die of hunger and thirst. Luckily for her and the children, the man forgot to lock the house.It was at this point that the woman decided to urinate and was shocked to see what had happened around her.
When the people in the area discovered her, they came out in their numbers and started questioning her as they thought she was mad. She and her children were so much emaciated but from her responses and body language, they realized she and the children were okay and mentally sound. While in forced confinement, she had taught the children their lessons such that they spoke very well when with their mother in the crowd. She remembered her sister’s contact and one of the sympathizers quickly put a call through to her. In about 30 minutes, the sister arrived at the scene and took her and the children away.
Eyewitnesses reported that her husband had not returned from the market when she was taken away. They said she was so upset at the forceful rescue that she was screaming at the top of her voice:
“My husband oh, my husband!” thereby getting her sister angry and shouting back at her; “which yeye husband you dey call?”
A lady who lived in the neighbourhood said the man built the wooden house near her house. Whenever people go near the place to see if anyone lives there, he would use a catapult and stone to hit them and chase them away. She said:
“Anyone who tries to get close, this man will use catapult and stone to shoot them so people had to let him be thinking he was mentally unbalanced. We didn’t even know he was living there with five people. When the man got back, he found the house empty. He began to shout, ‘’I hate human beings, that is why I isolated myself and my family from them.’’Can you imagine”?
It is uncertain if the man is himself a graduate or if he is mentally stable but one thing is certain: He was not ready to set his “wife” free and was very upset when she left
25 year old Blessing Onyibe Nwogbagami, (pictured above) has been arrested by men of the Ebonyi state Police command for killing her husband, Mr Onwe Nwogbagami, near their home at Ojegbe Amike Ugbodo, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
The mother of one attacked her husband with a cutlass while he was sleeping at an uncompleted building on October 13th. Explaining why she killed her husband, Blessing told Sunday Sun
"My husband was fond of chasing me with cutlass whenever we have misunderstanding. Whenever he brings out his cutlass, I will run out of the house for him. On that particular day, October 13, I had a misunderstanding with him and immediately he picked up his cutlass and chased me out of the house. Later he went to an uncompleted building to sleep. Then I said to myself before my husband will kill me, let me kill him first. While he was asleep I went to where he kept his cutlass and killed him. Then I ran to my husband’s village and told the kinsmen that I killed my husband.” she said
The Assistant Commissioner of Police in-charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Mrs. Justina Ogbodo, said Blessing will be charged to court while the baby will be handed to the state welfare board
People can be tempted, our resolve can be tested. Drunken night on the town, your boyfriend/girlfriend is living far away or maybe didn’t want to go out tonight. You are drunk and horny and that cute guy/girl is giving you a sneaky look over the bar. What are you to do? Give into your carnal desires or rise above? If you’re in a loving and committed relationship this article is not for you. Only those who are unhappy cheat. An easy way to avoid cheating is by not being in a relationships, why not give that a go before breaking someone’s heart. Luckily, I have never been cheated on; but having been the wet shoulder that some loving friends have cried on I feel like I have the right to educate you bastards that do that to them. Just in case you need it, here’s some tips on how to avoid cheating.
1. Don’t go over to them.
Like a stranger offering sweets from a van, do not fall for it. Do you not have any integrity? Don’t invite that desire in. This other person doesn’t know that you’re spoken for so why wouldn’t they enjoy you coming over and chatting them up if they’re interested. You’re using them, which isn’t fair to your partner or this unsuspecting third party. Instead of chatting them up or letting them chat you up go grab a friend and talk to them. If you initiate it, there’s nothing you could say to clear yourself tomorrow.
2. Don’t offer them a drink.
Are they dying from dehydration? No? Then why bother, save your money. If you are attracted to them and want to weasle them into a conversation, just don’t. How needy are you? Don’t accept a drink from them either if you know that you might want to be with them. Its mean to get someone to buy you a drink and then run away. You’re giving young people a bad name. If you want to save money, do rounds with your friends, don’t use people and give them the wrong impression on purpose. Don’t try and subdue your guilt through drunkenness. Nothing will be able to bury that tomorrow during your epic hangover.
3. Don’t kiss them.
Or let them kiss you. Do they need mouth to mouth? If they did, do you even know how to administer that in your drunken state? No, okay then back the fuck off. Instead of kissing them, buy yourself a shot of tequila and have a laugh with your friends, that’s the reason why you went out tonight right? If the reason you went out was to find someone to cheat with, then you really wouldn’t be reading this and also you’re a skank. Please work on that, its not an attractive feature. It might be now at drunken college parties but holy crap you’re going to be lonely when you’re older.
4. Don’t use drink as an excuse.
We are not idiots, we all know its a ruse. Being drunk doesn’t give you permission to cheat. It does not excuse you. It does not count. Don’t be a colossal dick. Its not like when you’re drinking you get a personality transplant, certain aspects of your personality are heightened because your inhibitions are lowered. You have have confidence and apparently some form of god complex that makes you feel like you can hurt people who care about you.
5. Do not invite them back to your place or go to their place.
Do they have interesting decor that you’d like to examine? The newest game console or an actual espresso machine? Have you any other reason to go over there besides trying to have sex? Why are you even encouraging this behaviour? You know what’s going to happen. You know this could ruin your relationship. If you’re so eager to get to a bed call a taxi and go home and sleep off your drunk horniness.
6. Do not let them feel you up.
It will feel nice for a while but that guilt will get you. No matter how drunk you claim to be, you know what you’re doing. How about instead of needing your insecurity sated by feeling the warmth of another human being. Throw on an extra blanket, make yourself a hot water bottle and stop being so needy and pathetic.
7. Keep your pants on.
We all know that once you come home from a long day at work or college that taking your pants off can be unbelievably great. But its pretty easy to keep them on. It requires literally no effort. If you don’t keep them on in the presence of this person you’ve invited back to your place, you’ve ruined everything with your significant other. If you wanted to have sex so much why not just call them up? They agreed to be your one and only, why are you being so selfish? One person isn’t good enough for you? How desperate are you exactly?
8. Do yourself a favour…
You’re not fooling anybody, I doubt your even fooling yourself. No amount of ‘I couldn’t help myself’, ‘It didn’t mean anything’ will make it better. Break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend before you cheat on them. Don’t agree to go out with them in the first place if you don’t want to be monogamous. Instead of hurting them by cheating, lying and being a dick, you’ll hurt them by being honest. This way at least you’re not going to be emotionally scaring them for life or being branded a dick by all your circle of friends. It is easy enough not to cheat. And if your single its not even possible and now you can enjoy being single! You won’t be doing anything wrong, so no one would be mad at you. The preemptive break up: if you’re not happy now in this relationship, you won’t be happy in the future. There is no point sticking it out. Clearly you don’t need to worry about being alone if you’re able to pick people up on nights out.

CAREER & COUPS
Here is an overview of Abacha’s rise through the ranks in the Nigerian Army: -Commissioned as 2nd Lieutenant: 1963-Lieutenant: 1966-Captain: 1967-Platoon and Battalion Commander, Training Department, Commander, 2nd Infantry Division, Major: 1969-Lieutenant Colonel: 1972-Commanding Officer, 2nd Infantry Brigade, Colonel: 1975-Brigadier: 1980As a Major-General. -Major-General: 1984-General Officer Commanding (GOC), 2nd Mechanized Division: 1984-85
As a Major-General.
With the rank of a Major General of the Nigerian Army. Abacha was the first Chief of Army Staff to spend five years on the post and he was also the first officer in the Nigerian Army to attain the rank of a full four-star General before becoming the Head of State.
-Chief of Army Staff: 1985-Member, Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC): 1985-Lieutenant-General:1987-Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: 1989-Minister of Defence: 1990-Secretary of Defence: 26th August, 1993-Head of State & Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces: 17th November 1993.

As the agbada-wearing Commander-in-Chief, Abacha inspects troops of the Nigerian Armed Forces. Like every other dictator, Abacha also had his own moments of paranoia. At a time, he became a virtual recluse, refusing to grant any interviews, appear in public or allow any publications about him and became nocturnal, working only at nights.
There is virtually no coup in Nigeria that Abacha did not have an input or involvement. He took active part in the bloody but successful countercoup (Operation Aure) of July 1966 organized by northern military officers and was also believed to be one of the participants the January 1966 coups with him taking part in either the Lagos or Abeokuta phases of the saga although the extent of his role is not too lucid. When Shagari with the skyscraper cap was shoved aside, Abacha was one of the masterminds. By the time Buhari was also ‘axed’ and ‘exed’, Abacha was one of the planners. He operated silently, stealthily and steadily until 1993, when he took over the reins of power himself in a dramatic and action-packed palace coup.
Full of glorious smiles and absolutely in control, General Sani Abacha is seen here at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja in 1996. Striding ahead of him is Diya, his deputy. Behind Abacha, you can see Abdulsalami and Al Mustapha. Only God knows what was making Abacha smile so much here, and he seems to be only one catching the fun. But whatever it was, it must surely have been quite amusing.
On the 17th of November, 1993, at around 10.am, three generals: Abacha, Oladipo Donaldson Diya and Aliyu Gusau stormed the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Nigeria’s most fortified complex. They were followed by army trucks full of heavily-armed soldiers. The soldiers were under the control of Brigadier Bashir Magashi of the Brigade of Guards and Colonel Lawan Gwadabe of the National Guard.
The three ‘guys’ then calmed but smartly strolled into the fortress with the swagger of an Alexander the Great and settled down for a ‘private meeting’ with Chief Ernest Shonekan who jejely agreed to vacate the position since it was very clear he was in no position to command any troops. Here was his own chief of defence staff telling him to surrender and a court just declared the interim government illegal. Shonekan bowed to their pressure and they treated him like a gentleman: he was allowed to give a farewell speech. After that, he was on the next flight to Lagos. Shonekan’s reign remains the shortest in Nigerian history: 84 days. Based on the narration of Ore Falomo, Abiola's physician and Abacha's friend this is what happened:
The initial coup that was orchestrated against Shonekan was planned for the Saturday before the Wednesday that he was finally overthrown. There was supposed to be no bloodshed. But why would Abacha organize a coup when he was already the defactor leaer in a military regime that had not handed over power? Sani Abacha had planned the coup but the plot was leaked to Shonekan. Shonekan was billed to have travelled to Abeokuta for the weekend until Monday and the plan was to have him arrested there. Some people like us, including MKO Abiola knew of the coup. The plan was for Abacha to take over and finally install Abiola.
Thus when the coup was leaked, we were all sad. Then Abacha took matters in his own hands and planned it his own way. He would strike on the Wednesday that they usually held the National Defence and Security Council (NDSC) meeting. At the meeting, Abacha just swaggered in with Gwadabe and Lt. General Aliyu Mohammed Gusau, Chief of Army Staff. Abacha knew that General Mohammed was the one who leaked the plot to Shonekan but he didn't want to cause any uproar at that moment. Abacha faced Shonekan and told him pointblank to write his resignation. A fluttered Shonekan asked Abacha:
'Why should I resign?'
Abacha, now on the verge of anger, fired back:
‘Who are you waiting for to obey my instruction? Here is the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Mohammed; here is Col. Gwadabe, here is Col. Aminu.’
The next thing that followed was like a scene out of a James Bond movie. Abacha pulled out his pistol and at that point, Isaac, Shonekan's secretary started typing the resignation letter of Shonekan with the speed of a Bugatti Veyron. In minutes, the letter was ready and Shonekan sharply signed without no further argument after which Abacha calmly told him that a car was already waiting for him outside and that he should take it to the airport and head for Lagos. A presidential jet was made available. Abacha himself later boarded the jet with General Mohammed and told him in a cold voice that if not for the friendship that existed between them, he would have blown out his brains for what he did. Thereafter, Abacha fired him as the COAS and replaced him with General Chris Alli, a supporter of MKO Abiola. Around this time, some insiders,including MKO still felt he was playing to the original script of handing over to Abiola.
-Once he took the reins of power on the 17th of November 1993, Abacha announced to the dazed nation that Shonekan had resigned and that he has graciously accepted his resignation and dutifully taken over so as to prevent the country from drifting further into collapse. He then let the whole nation realize he was in for serious business and his choice of words meant Nigerians were in big yawa, and not before long, the yawa kukuma gas. He had no illusions to being popular and was out to please no one. He made it abundantly clear that if you step on a scorpion’s tail, you will limp home.

-Abacha overthrew the fidihe (interim) government of Chief Ernest Shonekan in a palace coup that was received with mixed feelings. A section of the populace feared the dangerous trend of a new coup and this included the 67 federal senators who wrote a letter to Nigerians urging them not to accept another dictatorial regime. Some others, wanted to give General Sani the benefit of the doubt, hoping that he would just stabilize the political condition and hand over to MKO. Even Abiola himself believed this and was deceived by Abacha’s promise to just set up a ‘provisional’ ruling council and that he would not stay long in office. #Daaah! #Yinmu! MKO was too trusting and he was eventually stabbed in the back.
Beneath the dark goggles, he played his cards close to his heart, and no one could decipher what was on his mind.
In a book written by Chief Ebenezer Babatope, Abiola knew of and approved Abacha’s overthrow of Shonekan from the very beginning. Bashorun underestimated the man from Borno who would later pull the rug from under his feet and remove the wool from his eyes. Abiola ‘thinks that Abacha will not last up till a year and that his end will be ignonimous.’ But it was too late by the time MKO realized Abacha’s real game of power. Damn too late!

Abiola made another disastrous move: members of his party, the SDP tocked’s Abacha’s first cabinet: Ebenezer Babatope (Osun), Lateef Jakande (Lagos), Abubakar Rimi, Jerry Gana, Iyorchia Ayu, Solomon Lar (Plateau), Silas Daniyan (Kogi), Mrs. Bola Osomo (Ondo), Tunji Adebayo (Kwara) and others. That step nailed Abiola’s political coffin.
-Abacha then proceeded to assume the title of the Nigerian Head of State, renamed IBB’s Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) and formed the 27-member Provisional Ruling Council (PRC, the word ‘provisional’ was used to give an illusion of him staying temporarily in power but his actions would hint at a more sinister agenda). He immediately annulled the 1989 Constitution, which was supposed to be activated with the elected President. He thundered that there were no ‘sacred cows’ in his government and had no sleepless nights jailing a former head of state and his deputy.

-He even did what was long considered unthinkable: he dethroned the 18th Sultan of Sokoto, Ibrahim Dasuki, Nigeria’s most influential monarch and the Spiritual Head of her millions of Muslims. Abacha did not stop there, he declared Dasuki’s son who was away on a course in the United States a conspirator and had ‘wanted’ posters plastered all over the Sultan’s palace and in April 1996, had him exiled. According to the deposed Emir of Gwandu, Abacha had Dasuki deposed for so many reasons, some boiling down to personal ‘beefs’ and of course, money. Today, Dasuki’s son, Sambo, ADC to former military president IBB, is the National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan battling a festering insurgency that has claimed over 3,000 lives.

-When he locked up Abiola, prominent people intervened, Nelson Mandela pleaded for MKO’s release and even demanded that if he was not going to release Bashorun, that he should at least do him the personal favour of putting him under protective custody in his Lagos residence. But for where? Alagidi ni Oga Soja. That was Abacha, he no send anybody and na omo ma woju uche, ko ran Baba nla any baga…lol! Mandela would later describe the junta as an ‘illegitimate, barbaric, arrogant dictatorship.’
-He set up the Provisional Ruling Council (PRC) as the highest decision-making body, of which he was the Chairman. Then there was the Federal Executive Council (FEC) which functioned as the executive cabinet body. But it was quite clear power was concentrated in his hands. We will talk about his style of rule and leadership in a short while. Other members of the PRC included the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs of the Nigerian Armed Forces, top military officers, national security advisers and other ministers.
It was August 1997 at a summit in Abuja and it was very obvious Abacha was not feeling well. The late nights, stress, anxiety brought by constant fears of a coup or an assassination, rigours of work and cirrhosis of the liver clearly had effects on him as reflected in this picture. He was urged by the Malian President Alpha Oumar Konare to resign and take good care of himself. Abacha used lipstick to coat his cracked lips, his skin is obviously parched and he was not in the best of condition during the summit. In less than a year, he was dead.

-Upon getting to power, Abacha dismantled all existing democratic institutions, from the Constitution to the National Assembly. He went ahead to replace the state governors with military administrators and placed a ban on all political activity. Then he embarked on an unprecedented wave of clamping down on the opposition and advocates of democracy. Some of his opponents and critics of his regime just woke up one day and discovered that the four walls of their cosy bedrooms had magically transformed into that of a jail.
His aides too towed his path with the Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Ibrahim Coomasie releasing a statement: “Any person, whether a politician or a retired military officer or a pro-democracy crusader who thinks he is in a position to install another government is advised in his own interest to tread with caution as security agencies are prepared to act decisively on such matters.” The irony of life, Abacha was a dictator but spared nothing to ensure that democratic regimes in Sierra Leone and Liberia (he saw to the Abuja Peace Accord of 1995, to which Charles Taylor was a signatory) had a strong foothold.
In the north, they say: Ranka ya dede!
-Under Abacha, the refineries were working to a degree but towards the end of his regime, the refineries kaputted and Nigeria had to import refined petroleum, and the external debt stood at a headache-inducing $30 billion and foreign reserves were about a third of that. As you are reading this, Nigeria will come to an embarrassing standstill if she does not import over 33 million liters of petroleum per DAY. As head of state, Abacha’s government was realizing an average of $10 billion per annum from oil revenues.The OECD estimates that Abacha, his family and cronies embarked on criminal thievery, stealing an average of $0.5-$1 billion per year during his regime.
-Even though Abacha was shunned by many world leaders in a bid to isolate him like Robert Mugabe, Abacha found a way to make bold statements on the international arena, even while he was holed up in his Aso Rock.

-In 1994 and 1995, Abacha was battling a toxic combination of political unrest and a plethora of economic crises. It was so serious Abacha could not attend the ECOWAS summits and other crucial events in the subregion. But by 1996, things fared better and he was made the Chairman of ECOWAS. For many analysts, that was just one of his moves aimed at his grand ambition of becoming a civilian president (aare alagbada) come August 1998. He never saw July.

Sitting in a taxi, avoiding small talk with the chatty driver, he wondered what was in store. An invitation to her house in Clonskeagh for the night had him in a strange state of excitement tainted with guilt. He couldn’t get the girl with the minstrel eyes out of his mind, he hadn’t heard from her since the party yet felt a strange connection to her from their brief encounter. The taxi came to a halt, he paid and stepped out of the car and onto the path. He looked up at the massive house, vines decorated the pillars by the front door. He knocked.
She handed him his drink before sitting down on a small leather couch, the smooth sounds of Nirvana playing in the background. He took a seat beside her, her legs looked phenomenal, her skin slipped over the leather with ease, she bit her lip gliding her leg forward, brushing against his. Words were infrequent, yet the conversation was heated, filthy and bold. As if a string snapped between them they lunged together, his hands exploring her body, her head thrown back as he kissed down her neck to her chest.
Tearing at each others clothes like wild animals, every ounce of awkwardness and raw desire coming out in their actions. He slipped her silk thong down her smooth legs, lifting them to rest on his shoulders he held the tip of his hard penis at the entrance to her wet pussy, slowly applying pressure he dipped the tip in only to feel her hands on his ass pulling his whole cock inside her. Gasping with relief he began to lower himself into her, the angle was perfect for him to penetrate her deeply, his balls full of cum slapped heavily against her ass as he entered her, her hands pulling him in deep and fast.
Sitting up to pull his t shirt over his head she reached forward feeling his toned chest, releasing his shoulders from her leg grasp and wrapping them around his waist. Holding her by her thighs he stood to his feet, her petite frame gripping onto him by his cock. She bounced on his hard shaft while he held her, then he lay her on a table, held her legs in each hand and started to fuck her harder. As he came close to finishing he took his cock from her pussy and started to stroke it, she to began rubbing her pussy. Watching each other masturbate thrilled them both and it wasn’t long before her clit started to twitch with pleasure as she came to orgasm, his thick hot cum providing some extra lube.
