Exclusive: The real story of the white man almost killed with a cutlass in a home in Ikorodu

Last night, we shared the story of a white man who was almost killed with a cutlass by a Nigerian man inside a house in Ikorodu. The people who shared the video said it was an alleged Badoo member who perpetuated the crime.

LIB sent a reporter to the area where the incident happened and here's what we gathered. The man is actually Pakinstani with American citizenship as he was returning from the US the night he was nearly killed. The person who nearly killed him was his adopted son.

After he was rescued and taken to the hospital, the Pakistani man told the police that the man who attacked him was his adopted son. That when he told the adopted son that he was arriving Nigeria that night, the young man volunteered to pick him from the airport and take him to his house. But on their way, the man asked if they could stop by his house for him to do something and being that the young man was someone known to him and he trusted him, he accepted to go to his house. He said when they got there, the adopted son started acting odd, and before he knew what was happening, he attacked him from the back with a cutlass, targeting his head. He said he fought for his life and tried to save himself from the verocious attack. He started screaming, and the screaming attracted the landlord who burst into the room to see what was happening. At that point, the adopted son abandoned his weapon and escaped.

The victim was brought out of the room and taken to a hospital in Ikorodu where doctors stitched him up as he had bled a lot. The following day, the man discharged himself from the hospital in Ikorodu and is now being treated at undisclosed hospital in Surulere.

The adopted son hasn't yet been arrested. The police only detained the landlord to get information from him after which he was released.

I'm no longer sorry - Kathy Griffin retracts apology over Trump severed head photo

Three months after Kathy Griffin apologized for holding a fake bloodied, severed head of President Trump, she has had a change of tune about the photo.

"I am no longer sorry, the whole outrage was B.S.," Griffin told "Sunrise", an Australian morning TV show, on Tuesday. "The whole thing got so blown out of proportion, and I lost everybody. I've been through the mill. My entire tour was cancelled within 24 hours, because every single theater got all these death threats. These Trump fans are hard core. They are a minority but they know how to act like they're a majority."

20 cultists attack, injure four LASPOTECH students

Suspected cultists numbering about 20 Monday night stormed the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) hostile at Ikorodu injuring four.

Those injured were said to be students of the Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu, who were asleep at the time their attackers struck.


They were identified as Masud Sanusi, Sherif Muhammad, Kazeem Adebayo and Salawu Jamiu.

It was gathered that the cultists had earlier stormed the premises in the guise of looking for a rival cultist and some items he might have dropped there.

The Nation learnt that when they did not see anything, the hoodlums left only to return around 9pm and started attacking occupants of the hostile.

According to the state’s MSSN President, Dr. Saheed Ashafa, the attack was to forcefully initiate a Muslim student.

He said: “Our members in Ikorodu were attacked by cultists in their hostel last night (Monday). According to the report sent to me on Tuesday, they (the attackers) were actually trying to initiate a brother (Muslim student) in Ordinary National Diploma (OND) one (part time).

“So they wanted to intimidate the MSSN hostel where he resides to get their way. I was informed that the cultists have been threatening him from school with the support of a lecturer.


“They had access to the hostel at first by claiming that they are searching for their missing item but later said they were looking for a student who usually hung around the hostile.
“They left and around 9pm, returned numbering aboit 20 and started attacking our brothers. One was seriously injured and three others sustained minor injuries.
“When I got there four of the suspects have been arrested and handed over to the school security.  They were interrogated and released but the school management said they would investigate the matter and get all those involved.

“They said they allowed them to go because they need to get all those who took part in the attack. They also said that some of the suspects already have previous cases hanging on their necks.”

Irked by the attack, MSSN LASPOTECH chapter described the attack as injustice of the greatest order, which they would not condone.

Ex-teacher who asked students to rub lotion on her sues Education Department

An ex-Manhattan teacher who asked students to rub lotion on her legs and comb her hair is suing the Department of Education so she can get another job.

Monica Johnson claims she has overcome personal issues that led to the unusual classroom activities, and needs to be cleared to work for a school vendor.


Johnson, who taught the fifth grade, was pulled out of Public School 123 in 2006 following an array of accusations.
In one instance, she called a student “a liar and a thief” and threw an object across the room, according to papers. In 2004 and 2005, she received formal warnings over allegations of corporal punishment of students.

But that wasn’t all.

“You instructed students to massage lotion on your legs and feet, and to comb your hair during instructional time,” the Department of Education wrote in a letter.

She was officially fired in 2008 from her job that paid $57,370 a year.

The ouster came back to haunt the 49-year-old educator last year, when she was offered a job as an after-school site manager for the social services organization University Settlement.

The job offer was rescinded after University Settlement — a Department of Education vendor — learned the reason for Johnson’s firing, court papers indicate.

At the time she got in trouble, Johnson said she had been misdiagnosed with cancer, had endured a nasty custody battle and was homeless.

Johnson, who is representing herself in the case, said she now knows that “professionalism is a non-negotiable” and wants a second chance.

Ms. Johnson’s behavior was inappropriate and completely unacceptable, and she is no longer eligible to work in our schools,” an Education Department spokesman said.

Police shoot truck driver over N100 in Aba

According to vanguard, a yet to be identified Policeman has shot dead a truck driver in Aba, Abia State over alleged refusal to pay a N100 bribe.

The incident, which occurred at Afoule market junction, along Aba-Owerri, Aba, at about 7.30am caused heavy gridlock as two lanes of the road were blocked. There was traffic gridlock as commuters trekked long distances to the Brass junction and the Enugu –Port Harcourt expressway. Eyewitnesses told Vanguard that a Mercedes Benz 911 truck was conveying bags of gari and other farm produce into Aba when the Police team stopped it at Afoule road junction.

“When the driver refused to ‘roger’ the Policemen, an argument ensued and we heard a gunshot and the driver was hit, his vehicle was ridden with blood. “There was confusion as people scampered to safety. Within a few minutes, there was heavy police deployment to the area,” the eyewitnesses said.

 When contacted, Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Geoffrey Ogbonna, said efforts are on top gear to identify the Policeman who shot the driver, assuring that the Policeman will face the music as the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Leye Oyebade, has zero tolerance for indiscipline. He urged motorists and residents to go about their normal business without fear of molestation.

Speaking on the situation, the Civil Liberties Organisation, CLO, in a statement by its chairman, Aba Unit, Prof. Charles Chinekezi, urged the Police authorities in the state to fish out and prosecute the Policeman who shot the driver to serve as a deterrent to others. CLO appealed to the Commissioner of Police who he described as a God fearing officer to allow the matter to be swept under the carpet, adding that cases of police intimidation of residents of Aba, have gone haywire.

Kenneth Copeland – You Hold The Key

                            Topic: You Hold The Key [Tuesday August 29, 2017]

I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. – Matthew 16:19
The Greek text of that scripture would literally read, “I give you the keys of the kingdom. Whatever you declare locked on earth is locked in heaven and whatever you declare unlocked on earth is unlocked in the heavenlies.”

The heaven Jesus was talking about there isn’t the heaven where God resides. He was talking about the battle zone, about the heaven where Satan’s forces are operating.

He was telling us that God has given us power to bind the wicked spirits in heavenly places and to loose the angelic powers of God to work in our behalf.
Philippians 2:9-10 says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” Where? In heaven, in earth and under the earth. That covers it all!

As believers, we have total authority over the powers of Satan. We can take authority over the evil spirits that are trying to destroy this nation. We can take authority over them in the Name of Jesus and pull down their strongholds.

It is time we began to realize how important we are to world affairs. Since the day Jesus gave us the Great Commission, the life or death of the world has been in the hands of the Church. We are the ones who have the mighty Name of Jesus and the awesome strength of the gospel to bring life and abundance to every creature. We are the ones whose prayers can change every office of authority in this land.

It’s up to you and me to begin to intercede right now and use the power God has given us. We may come from different lands with different backgrounds, but we all have one thing in common—Jesus Christ is our Lord. And that alone is enough to alter the spiritual complexion of this earth.
Scripture Reading: Acts 4:1-14

This message was written by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, the leader of the Kenneth Copeland Ministries (www.KCM.org) that specializes in teaching principles of bible faith – prayer, healing, salvation and other biblical topics.

Joel Osteen’s Megachurch To Open To Hurricane Victims After Backlash

Lakewood Church, the Houston arena-cum-megachurch home of celebrity preacher Joel Osteen, is reportedly preparing to open its doors to residents driven from their homes by Hurricane Harvey-related flooding.

The move comes after Osteen received significant pressure on social media to provide assistance to the community.

 Charles Clymer, who had provided some of the original evidence that the church had not been flooded as otherwise claimed, posted a photo to Twitter that showed air mattresses being prepared for people.

Lakewood Church apparently bought countless air mattresses and are prepping to open their doors. Took a while but good news.#JoelOsteen pic.twitter.com/MYXf1HqAbF

— Charles Clymer🏳️‍🌈 (@cmclymer) August 29, 2017

As the former home of the Houston Rockets, the church’s 16,000 seats are spacious enough for big crowds. And one would think a religious institution would be inclined to open its doors to the needy in a time like this, as others in the area already have.

Yet as the fallout from the storm continues to devastate the area, the massive building remains empty.
The church said in a Facebook post on Sunday morning that it’s “inaccessible due to flooding” and directed residents to a list of other shelters.

But several people in the area questioned this claim with photos posted on social media of the building’s exterior and surrounding grounds.

Aside from that initial post this weekend, the church was silent on the matter. Emails were not returned, and an automated phone message said no one could answer because of “inclement weather conditions in our area.”

A statement from the church issued later on Monday afternoon said it had volunteers working in shelters around the city, but made no mention of the status of its building or its prospects as a similar relief zone.

“We are working diligently with the city of Houston to mobilize our many volunteers at shelters around the city as well as various other points of need in and around the Houston area,” the statement posted to Facebook read. “In addition, we are working with Samaritan’s Purse on major relief efforts.”
A church spokesperson told a Slate reporter that the church is open, but its social media channels made no mention of that change.
Later, the church released a statement saying it’s “prepared to house people once shelters reach capacity.”

As for Osteen himself, the superstar pastor has punctuated his usual stream of religious aphorisms on Twitter with a few calls to pray for Harvey victims, but he’s stayed mum on the church controversy. Making the optics worse, he’s also reportedly blocked users who’ve asked him about it.

Photos circulating on Twitter purported to show floods in the church’s lower parking levels on Sunday night, and some users speculated problems in the underground parking and floods in the surrounding roads have been to blame for the church’s response.

But judging from the number of social media sleuths who visited on Monday, the place seemed accessible enough.
