Kenyan Man bites friend’s penis for drinking his Guinness stout

Kwaku Agyemang went on a drinking spree with his pal, Osman Abubakar, during which the latter clandestinely consumed a bottle of Guinness stout belonging to Agyemang without his approval.

A misunderstanding ensued between them in the course of which Agyemang threatened to seize the DVD player of his pal. As the convict set off to put his words into action, his friend Osman followed up to track him and that resulted in a fight between them.

In the course of the ugly turn of events, Agyemang, who could not wrestle Osman, went under his pal, grabbed his penis and bit a sizeable portion of it.

Both friends reported the incident to police and Agyemang was arrested while Osman was issued with a medical form to attend hospital for treatment. The convict was later charged with the offence of assault after police investigations and arraigned.

Girl pours hot oil on her friend for sleeping with her sugar daddy

Everyday one hears different ugly stories of young girls on Nigerian campuses who prostitute themselves to older wealthier men for money, bags, weaves and lord knows what else. 

There are organized prostitution rings complete with pimps who have girls on standby for all the politicians, business men and corporate honchos who desire the sleaze these girls offer.

Having said that, there is always a downside to all the ‘fun” these girls believe they are having and recently an as yet unnamed female found this out when her friend and fellow “runs – girl” threatened to deal with her after finding out she had been sleeping with her ”aristo”. Deal with her she did – by pouring scalding hot oil on her friend resulting in the horrific burns you see in the picture above. The first picture is the victim before the incident.

Lover boy bathes female undergraduate with acid

“What did I do to deserve this? When has turning down a request for a relationship become a sin?”

These are the questions that have been pouring forth from the devastated mouth of Francisca Ogbu, a first-year undergraduate of the Federal University of Technology, Yola, Adamawa State (FUTY), who was recently bathed with acid, allegedly by a man seeking an affair with her.

Looking devastated on her hospital bed at the female surgical ward of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), Francisca painted the picture of a gloomy future and a jinxed academic career. “My education has already suffered and I don’t think there is hope again,” she declared as tears rolled down her disfigured cheek. The glowing face of yesterday has been battered, no thanks to a certain Bright, the lover boy, who allegedly bathed her with acid.

Francisca’s ordeal started last year after gaining admission into the department of economics at FUTY. “One boy, called Bright, has been requesting to go out with me. He is not in my department. He was in 500 Level. He even bought gifts sometime ago but I rejected them. I told him I was not interested because I was very new in the school and I saw his request as a distraction,” she told our reporter. She said she thought the matter was over but unknown to her, the lover boy had some evil intentions. 

I was reading in a classroom one day with a candle, because there was no light on campus that night. There were other people in the classroom. At about 11.30 pm, somebody called me to come out of the class but I refused, insisting that it was late and that I was reading. Then, I heard somebody calling my name again from outside. It was a familiar voice and I was encouraged to stand up from my seat and look out from the door. That was all.” The decision to look out for the caller through the classroom door was Francisca’s greatest undoing. 

All she could remember moments later was the unbearable pain from the acid poured on her. With a badly damaged right ear which has since been cut off, the destiny of the young lady, the second in the family of seven, changed. She was rushed to the hospital in Yola and subsequently referred to the UMTH. Unable to hold back her tears, Francisca lamented that her education has suffered. “I want to go back to school,” she kept saying. She said the incident, which happened barely a month after her matriculation, had shattered her dreams.

To return to school, she would need to undergo more treatment and facial surgery in India and it would cost over N5 million, excluding travel expenses and feeding but then, her parents, who have been supportive since the incident occurred, cannot afford the amount. In fact, her father, Mr. Ogbu, a civil servant, was said to have expended his entire savings on the treatment, which was initially borne by FUTY. “The man was here last week and I really pity him. He is totally broke. He has expended his savings on the treatment of his daughter.

He said he had sworn that the only legacy he could give his children was education but the man is now sad because he seems to believe his vision has been truncated,” an official at the UMTH told Daily Sun. It was gathered that Bright, the suspected lover boy, has been expelled by FUTY. He was also said to have been picked up by the police and released later. Francisca is appealing to the government, corporate organisations and well-meaning Nigerians to assist her financially so that she could go for surgery in India as well as realise her dream of going back to school.

"Why I Tried To Burn Down The Church"

The police in Bauchi State are currently trying to unravel the circumstances surrounding penultimate Saturday’s attempt by a “jilted” love bird, one Lydia Joseph, to set St John’s Catholic Church located near the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadiun in Bauchi, the state capital, on fire, claiming that she did it as a result of the frustration of being jilted by a member of the church who used to be her boyfriend. 

Lydia, a mother of two, who used to be a prostitute, according to the catechist of the church, Mr John Daniel, walked into the church at about 12: 30p.m. penultimate Saturday, holding a gallon of petrol but told the security men at the gate of the church that the gallon contained kerosene and that she came to pray in the church and was allowed in. Narrating what happened, the catechist said he was at the priest house in the church compound when he heard shouts and came out to see what was happening, adding that, “When I came out she had run out of the compound but as God would have it, the member who saw her chased and caught her,” adding that the member who was praying in the church as at the time Lydia entered informed that after entering the church, she poured petrol on the pew inside the church and lit a lighter after which she ran out, having “accomplished” her mission but the member raised an alarm. 

We rushed in and put off the fire,” he said. “Fortunately for us, a man praying in the church saw her and shouted that the gates should be locked. But many people, including the security men did not understand and before the gate was locked, she had run out and he followed her and arrested her.” Speaking with journalists at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Bauchi State Police Command headquarters in Bauchi, the 33-year-old suspected arsonist, who is from Oturkpo, Benue State , did not deny making an attempt to raze the church but stated that she was under “spiritual attack”. She said that she fell in love with a member of the church, one Dominic, with whom she was staying as a live-in lover before he called off the relationship, which she said was on the advice of his friend, one Sunday. “

Though we were not married, we lived like a couple. People called me his wife and also called him my husband,” Lydia said of her relationship with the said Dominic, adding that, “but his friend Sunday broke our relationship. His reason for breaking our relationship was that I used charm on Dominic.They wanted me to leave, so they started drugging my food. I became sick and when I went to the hospital, the doctors discovered it. Dominic said he did not want me again.” She informed that she met Dominic when members of the Charismatic Renewal Ministry of the church she attempted to burn came to the brothel where she was plying her trade as a commercial s*x hawker at Bayan Gari area of Bauchi metropolis on visits to preach to her and other prostitutes, adding that their efforts made an impact on her as she started to fellowship with them. “Gradually, I started paying back their visits and I also started attending the church with them,” she said. This, according to her, made her to stop being a prostitute after which she fell in love with Dominic. 

Their relationship, she said, lasted for about four years before Dominic left her. Frustrated that her relationship with Dominic fell through, Lydia said she attempted burning the church after being attacked spiritually by members of the same group that liberated her from prostitution. “They started attacking me spiritually and they sent me to go and burn the church,” she declared. However, state Commissioner of Police, Mr Ikechukwu Ayo Aduba, told newsmen that Lydia , currently being detained at the headquarters, was being investigated by the police to know whether she was working for any group, adding that she would soon undergo a psychiatrist test to ascertain the state of her mental health. Giving the account of what happened, Aduba said, “She went to the church with a lighter and a gallon of petrol and set some of the chairs in the church on fire before being caught. 

If not for the quick intervention of some well-meaning Nigerians who saved her, the woman would have been lynched.” Reacting to the incident, the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the North-East zone of the country, Reverend Ishaya Byal said Lydia ’s action was embarrassing, more so that she was a Christian, adding that as a Christian, she was not supposed to perpetrate such an act. “We do not expect a fellow Christian to carry out this kind of act, but it has been happening in recent times. It is shameful. Christians are supposed to be the light to the world,” Reverend Byal told journalists in Bauchi. He was of the opinion that churches in the zone needed to be extra vigilant at this time that Nigeria was facing tough security challenges with bomb explosions rocking almost everywhere and called on churches and Christians to be more security conscious at this time.
