In a recent interview with Encomium magazine, Darey revealed his thoughts that he is the king of RnB music in Nigeria and not Banky W. When asked if he feels any competition between himself and Banky W knowing that they are both called Nigeria's king of RnB, Darey replied; "There is only one king of RnB.

I have never heard anybody being called king of RnB except me. I have never heard anybody call him (Banky W) king of RnB except if you think he is one. But the truth is, there is only one king, and you know who the king is. If you doubt it, my new material will settle the scores.

Too soon: Nyanya bomb blast victims face hunger in hospital

According to a report by Premium Times, some victims of Monday's bomb blast receiving medical attention at the Asokoro General Hospital in Abuja are currently facing hunger as no one is providing them with food.
 
One of the survivors, Salome Jim, told Premium Times that she's only received drugs and drips from the hospital management but no one has given her anything to eat.
"I have been sitting down here waiting for surgery. I am in pain, I am very hungry. No one has come here to give me food, I can neither walk nor move, the nurses and doctors are nice to me but they didn’t give me food. The nurse said she will come and attend to me at 9:30 am this morning and this is 9 o’ clock so I am waiting, but when I came here yesterday they took care of me, I didn’t pay for anything, but they didn’t give us food. I went to bed with an empty stomach, the woman inside the ward over there (she pointed) shared her food with me at midnight, as I am here my relatives don't know I am here as I couldn’t find my phone.” She said.

Some people from the mosque came here to give me bread and tea this morning, the hospital only gave us injections and drips. I am still hungry, broke and with no money.” he said
The Minister of Health Onyebuchi Chukwu during his visit to the Asokoro Hospital was asked by reporters why the victims had not been fed by the hospital. He denied knowledge of that and said the Hospital management would look into it
"The management of the hospitals will go back after my departure to find the true situation and sort it out. All hospitals have been very cooperative this is the main situation.” he said.

“Some of the victims cannot eat just yet, but some of them who can eat do not have the money to eat, the government can’t only be administering drugs on empty stomachs it can lead to other serious cases. We all tried yesterday but not even a single word of commendations from the government. You people should let Nigerians know the bomb blast victims are hungry and are not fed,” the official said

80 Out Of the over 100 Schoolgirls Kidnapped by Boko Haram Escape




About 80 students of the Government Girls’ Secondary School in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, kidnapped Monday evening by heavily armed Boko Haram Islamists have escaped from the custody of their abductors.

According to various reports, the girls fled when a truck conveying them to Boko Haram camp broke down on the way. The lucky girls reportedly jumped off the broken down truck, escaped into the bush and made their way to safety.

Father of one of the rescued girls Malam Ali Iliya, said his daughter told him when the trailer got stuck, some of the girls jumped out and ran for their lives.

    They were scattered in the bush when the vigilante and local hunters found them. Some of them were wounded, some were with fracture, which I believe was as a result of jumping from the high vehicle, but we are happy that our children have been rescued. Now we are praying for those who are still with the Boko Haram; our prayer is that every father will have his child back”, he said.

He added that his daughter Hajara was sound and healthy but weak stressing that:

     “our children told us that when they started running, the insurgents didn’t shoot them. They allowed those who could run to go but those who could not run either as a result of fear or wound are still with them in the bush. My daughter said the abductors were over one hundred and that the girls were 243; she said the insurgents asked them to count themselves”

Area Boys Rape 18 Years Old Sex Worker, Oluwatosin Ami To Death In Lagos Hotel



Policemen attached to the Orile Police Division in Lagos State have apprehended two gangsters for allegedly molesting and killing an 18-year-old commercial sex worker, Oluwatosin Ami.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the suspects, John-Paul Chukwuebuka, 19; and Ebuka Chimudi, 22; belonged to a gang which specialised in luring young ladies to hotels with the aim of dispossessing them of their belongings and molesting them.

According to police authorities, on April 10, 2013, two members of the gang posed as customers and visited the Happy Day Hotel, Orile.

Oluwatosin was approached by the suspects and she took them into her room at the hotel which she secured at the cost of N3, 500 per day.

The suspects were said to have overpowered Oluwatosin and stuffed a cloth in her mouth to prevent her from screaming.

She was also bound by the hands, while the suspects took turns in molesting her.

Afterwards, the suspects were said to have stolen her phone and money before locking her inside the room.

The suspects were also said to have taken the key of the room and tossed it into a canal.

A relative of the deceased said the following morning, when the hotel attendants wanted to clean the hotel rooms, they knocked on the door of the room where Oluwatosin was, but there was no response.

It was learnt that the  attendants then used a spare key to open the door and the corpse of Oluwatosin was found.

Her father, Babatunde, told PUNCH Metro that the matter was reported at the Orile Police Station and his daughter’s corpse was taken to the Mainland Hospital, Yaba.

Babatunde said he had no idea that his daughter was a commercial sex worker.

He said the family had been looking for her since December last year and had reported her missing at the Adeniji Adele Police Division on the Lagos Island.

He said, “My daughter was in JSS3 in 2012 when she dropped out of school. She said she wanted to be a sales girl and we got a job for her, but she did not stay there. Suddenly, in December last year, she left the house and did not return home.

“Her mother and I called her on the telephone several times, but she would say she was fine and putting up in a friend’s place. She used to visit her grandmother, but in January, she stopped picking calls.

“All attempts to get her proved abortive. We did not hear anything from her until we received a telephone call a few days ago, saying her corpse had been found in a hotel.”

The mother of the deceased, Muibat, lamented that Oluwatosin was her third child that would die within five years.

She said the deceased was her first born and she had only two children remaining.

She said she did her best as a parent and wondered why her daughter chose such a lifestyle.

When our correspondent approached the hotel for comment, the employee at the front desk said the management had given instruction that journalists should not be spoken to.

However, an employee of the hotel told the police that the rule of the house was that more than two patrons should not be in a room at the same time.

The employee said he was not aware that Oluwatosin had taken two people into her room.

The suspects, in their statements, confessed to killing Oluwatosin, but said it was by mistake.

They said they only played a minor role in the crime as the prime suspects were still at large.

The police explained that 19-year-old Chukwuebuka was arrested by members of the Odua Peoples Congress at City Point Hotel, Apapa, where he had gone to commit a similar crime.

Through Chukwuebuka’s confession, Chimudi was arrested.

Chukwuebuka identified other suspects as Williams, Victor, Joshua and Kojo.

He said, “We have been doing this thing for a while now. We have operated in brothels in Ajegunle and Kirikiri. I have molested over five girls, but none of them died.

“We operate in hotels where there is loud music and many rooms. We usually use rooms that are not located on the ground floor so if a victim shouts, no one would hear her.”

The President is particularly concerned about the plight of the young Senior Secondary School girls who were reportedly abducted from their school in Borno State on Monday night and has ordered the military and national security agencies to deploy maximum efforts towards rescuing all of the girls and returning them safely to their parents.
