Man Who Raped another Man Pleads he was drunk

Bestwood Chuckwuemeka, a 28-year-old man who was arraigned on Monday at a Magistrates Court in Abuja for sodomy has pleaded that he committed the crime under the influence of alcohol.

According to the police prosecutor, Cpl. Umar Mohammed, on August 8, a man from Gidan Mangoro, Abuja, reported to the divisional headquarters, Karshi, Abuja, of the alleged rape by the accused person. Mohammed said that the accused had sexual intercourse with the complainant on his bed when the complainant was fast asleep. This, the prosecutor said, was contrary to section 284 of the Penal Code.

However, in his response to the charges, when the charge sheet was read out, the accused pleaded not guilty. He said “I came back drunk from the night club and thought I was sleeping on the same bed with my girl-friend and I started romancing her.”

But the Magistrate, Nafisat Buba, said that alcohol should not be seen as an excuse for committing the offence, “Despite being under the influence of alcohol, the accused should not use that as an excuse to commit the crime,” she said. She however granted the accused bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum, saying that one of the sureties must be a civil servant on GL 09. The case was then adjourned till September 17 for further hearing.

But Eddie, 51, has teamed up with Sony Pictures TV to sell the comedy drama.

“None of the movie scripts were right. It was always a rehash of the old thing — it was always wrong.”
The three films — released in 1984, 1987 and 1994 — raked in more than £1billion. .

‘Refunding money doesn’t acquit indicted oil marketers’

Coordinating Minister for the economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Prominent lawyers have said oil marketers refund of subsidy funds fraudulently received does not exonerate them as they were indicted in the fuel subsidy scam probe.

In separate interviews with SUNDAY PUNCH, the lawyers said the action was rather an admission of guilt and should make the case against the marketers easier to prosecute.

Last Thursday, at a press briefing after the National Economic Council in Abuja, the Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, said a report submitted to members by Minister of Finance,

As ZAFAA nominates Nollywood stars

The 2012 nomination of the African Film and Television Arts Festival, ZAFAA is a deluge of stars. For an event that started in 2006 and holds annually in the United Kingdom, it is good news to many Nollywood actors/actresses as their names topped the list of the October 19 ceremony.

Veteran actor Olu Jacobs and star actress, Funke Akindele Oloyede have been nominated. Nominated for the Best Actor award, Olu Jacob’s role in the film, Adesuwa definitely worked in his favour. Also nominated in the same category were Joseph Benjamin, and John Dumelo. Funke Akindele was nominated for the Best Actress award, along with Monalisa Chinda, and Nadia Buari. Also nominated for awards were Nse Ikpe-Etim, and Martha Ankomah, who were both nominated for the Best Supporting Actress award. Lancelot Imasuen, Desmond Elliot, and Ruke Amata were nominated for the Best Director award.

According to Prince Samuel Anwuzia, Chief Executive Officer, ZAFAA Global Awards Limited, organisers of the awards, the 2012 edition remains unique, what with the crop of artistes nominated.

There were more nominees from Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Ghana, Sierra Leone, the United Kingdom and the United States respectively.

“The plan is to partner with Ojez Entertainment to gain the confidence of the stars that built ZAFAA from inception to date and make it more reputable now that we have gained the support of foreign film-makers and recognition by the British Broadcasting Corporation. ZAFAA is an African pride just as the OSCAR and BAFTA are America and British pride.

“ZAFAA has made Nollywood, Ghollywood and other African filmmakers a huge industry to reckon with. Our culture remains our pride and there is no better place to celebrate this than the International and Economic City of London. This year, ZAFAA goes to the heart of London. Many more African countries are also participating, therefore, this year will be glamorous and sophisticated,” he said.

Zoo tiger kills female keeper

A TIGER mauled its female keeper to death yesterday — just yards from zoo visitors — after escaping from its enclosure.

The male big cat slipped through a poorly secured gate to attack the woman, 43, in a storage area.
It was shot dead by zoo chief Theo Pagel before it could reach any areas open to the public.
Shaken Mr Pagel said: “This is the darkest day of my life.” Referring to the unsecured gate, he confirmed: “It appears it was a question of inadvertence.”
Cops said it was unlikely visitors saw the midday horror at the zoo in Cologne, Germany — founded in 1860 and one of the country’s oldest. They added: “It appears the gate wasn’t properly shut.”
The attraction was briefly evacuated and later reopened to visitors. But a planned late-night opening was scrapped.
The animal, a four-year-old Siberian tiger called Altai, was previously housed at an unidentified centre in the UK.
Last November it fathered three cubs by a seven-year-old Siberian tigress

Angelina lookalike raped me

 

'Knife sex' ... Luminita Perijoc

AN Angelina Jolie lookalike held a terrified taxi driver at knifepoint while she forced him to have sex, police have been told.

Cabbie Nicolae Stan, 34, claimed stunning Luminita Perijoc, 30, then threatened to kill him unless he agreed to perform another sex act.
Married dad-of-three Nicolae said: “Later she still stabbed me.”
He finally escaped after barricading himself in a bedroom and desperately calling cops on his mobile phone.
Nicolae’s ordeal started after he dropped off Perijoc — who models herself on Tomb Raider star Jolie — at her apartment.
He said: “She asked me to help with her bag but when we were upstairs she got me in to her kitchen and told me she had to have sex.
“I don’t think she was used to anyone saying no because she flew into a rage when I declined. She took out a knife and forced me to undress.”
Nicolae was later taken to hospital with half a dozen knife wounds.
Cops in Tulcea, Romania, are investigating.
