Thousands Gather In Malta To Demand Justice For Slain Journalist Killed In A Car Bomb

                
Several thousand Maltese citizens rallied on Sunday to demand justice for an investigative journalist killed by a car bomb last Monday.

Some of those present at the protest carried placards or wore T-shirts with the last words written by Caruana Galizia, minutes before she was killed: 'There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

Mr 2Kay robbed at gunpoint in his hotel room after a performance at Eko hotel

                           

Singer, Abiye David Jumbo popularly known as Mr. 2Kay was robbed at gun point in his hotel room at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

According to a statement by his record label, Graftin, the incident happened at about 11pm on Sunday, October 22, 2017, during the Buckwyld and Breathless concert where he also performed.

The robbers, 4 in number, gained access into Mr. 2Kay’s room after he mistook one of them for room service. They forced their way into his room and waved a gun with threats to shoot him if he made a noise.

Mr. 2Kay, who was in the room with a friend, struggled with one of the robbers, as the others punched and hit him with a gun, repeatedly warning that they will shoot if he doesn’t calm down.

One of the robbers led and locked 2Kay’s friend in the bathroom, while the others tied the singer’s arms, legs and mouth and took his valuables including jewelry, clothes, perfumes, phones, and money. They also cut the room’s intercom (phone) to avoid any form of communication as they left the hotel.

The hotel authorities and police have taken statements for investigation, while Mr. 2Kay is getting medical attention for his wounds. “I was quite shocked when I got to Mr. 2Kay’s room last night.

This was somebody I watched perform some minutes before the incident. Anyway, the hotel authorities and police are already investigating the incident and we hope they’ll apprehend the criminals as soon as possible,” said James Silas, Manager of Grafton Records.

Beyonce, Jay Z To Spend $800k On Renovation

Their net worth combined is over $1billion, so it's no surprise that Beyonce and husband Jay Z are more than happy to spend their money lavishly when it comes to their home.

It was reported in August, that the power couple closed escrow on their Bel Air mansion at $88million, and a month later went bicoastal by purchasing a $26million house in the Hamptons.

Now, the two Grammy-winners have decided to add almost $800,000 in renovations to their new Bel Air home.

Jay-Z and Beyonce have taken out two permits in one month, according to TMZ. One permit will be used to install a backup generator, which will cost a whopping $30,000.


Along with their new generator, the Carters have also decided to add a living area under their four pools, which is another $750,000 in renovations.

Policeman breaks electricity worker’s leg for disconnecting former Inspector general of police’s house

                   

Dele Ogundele, a worker with the Eko Electricity Distribution Company, has been hospitalised after he was allegedly brutalised by a police sergeant attached to a house reportedly owned by a former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar.

Punch Metro reports that the mobile policeman, Attah Aninoko, on Thursday dragged down Ogundele from an electric pole opposite the house and beat him up for disconnecting power to the house of the former IG.

Ogundele’s leg was allegedly broken by the sergeant, who was reported to have boasted that “nothing will happen.”

The matter was said to have been reported to the police at the Ikoyi division and the sergeant was arrested.

The Head of Corporate Communications Department, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), Mr. Godwin Idemudia, who confirmed the incident, said the sergeant had been detained.

He explained that the house of the former IG owed a bill of N154,693.85, adding that the name on the bill was one Yusuf.

He said, “What we do is that anytime customers don’t respond and pay their bills, we go out with copies of their bills. When we get to their houses, we tell them what they owe and ask if they had made any payment in the last 24 hours. If they can’t produce any evidence of such, we disconnect their electricity.

“That was what we did in this case. We had two of our vehicles working in the area on that day. On getting to the house around 12noon on Thursday, October 19, a man came out and we asked for evidence of payment because we discovered that the house owed over N154,000. When he couldn’t produce it, we said we would disconnect the power. The man flared up.

“The mobile policeman came out, and while our official was disconnecting the power from the pole, he ordered him to come down. In fact, he dragged the official down and beat him up. In the process, the official sustained injuries and his left leg was broken.”

Idemudia said because the policeman was armed, other officials of the electricity distribution company were helpless and could only watch their colleague being brutalised.

He said policemen from the Ikoyi division were alerted and the cop was arrested. Ogundele was said to have been taken to a hospital.

“When he was taken to the station, he started boasting that nothing would come out of the case.

“We believe that nobody is above the law. The case should not be swept under the carpet. The Divisional Police Officer has assured us that justice would be served,” he added.
 
The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, denied that Ogundele’s leg was broken, adding that the power company was being mischievous.

He said, “This people know that the property belongs to a former civil servant and they are just trying to be mischievous.

“They came and said the house owed some bills and before the residents could go in to bring out their record, they had cut off power. There were policemen in the area and they tried to intervene.

“There was nobody that suffered any broken leg or any injury. Care should be taken not to damage the good name of the former civil servant. The DPO is trying to mediate and the case is under investigation.”
