Mother Bundles Daughter To Psychiatric Hospital For Attending "An Unconventional" Church


An elderly woman, Mrs. Florence Omotehinwa, has been accused of bundling her 40-year-old daughter, Mrs. Toyin Ndiomu, in a psychiatric hospital for attending “an unconventional” church.

According to Punch, the victim, who attends Jordan Ministries, Opebi, Lagos, was abducted on January 12, 2013, at 25 Joel Ogunnaike Street, while she was celebrating her 40th birthday.

A legal consultant with Project Alert on Violence Against Women, Mr. Benjamin Odeh, told our correspondent that the victim was a mother of two and had been separated from her husband because of domestic violence.

Odeh said on the day the victim was abducted, her mother stormed her party with naval operatives and policemen.

He said, “On that day, Mrs. Omotehinwa and Ndiomu’s estranged husband came with two women, naval personnel and two armed policemen. They seized the victim, pushed her into a vehicle and sped off.”

He said the victim was taken to Farri Psychiatric Hospital, where she was being kept incommunicado.

When Punch Metro visited the hospital located on Gbaja Street, Surulere, the matron denied our correspondent access to Ndiomu, saying that she had been given strict orders by her mother not to allow visitors to have access to her.

The matron, who did not identify herself, said, “This is not a conventional hospital, it is a hospital for patients with mental illnesses and as such we cannot allow just anybody to see her.

“Her mother said no one should be allowed to see her and we are standing by that instruction. We don’t know anything about abduction; our own responsibility is to treat patients.”

Boko Haram Declares Ceasefire

The commander who identified himself as Sheikh Muhammed Abdulazeez spoke to journalists Monday in Maiduguri, where the Islamist sect known as Boko Haram got its start.

Abdulazeez described himself as a second-in-command to sect leader Abubakar Shekau and said there would be a ceasefire as the Borno government had promised to release some sect members.

Abdulazeez reportedly met with Governor Kashim Shettima today.

While a government official later welcomed the announcement, it came as soldiers and police still hold Boko Haram members and violence continued unabated in the region.

A local resident of Gajiganna, a nearby village, said he saw eight bodies — some decapitated — after an attack, that bore the violent trademark of Boko Haram.

Boko Haram had offered unilateral ceasefire in the past, which it never kept, choosing instead to launch brutal attacks on the Nigerian state.

Katie Price... My honeymoon from hell

Smiles ... but Katie Price says her third wedding was almost ruined

FURIOUS Katie Price has told how her wedding was almost ruined by a series of disasters at her hotel — including a butler who asked: “Are you a porn star?”

Katie Price A.K.A. Jordan, 34, hit out after returning from Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort and Spa with third hubby, builder Kieran Hayler, 25.
She said her wedding snaps showed a beach — “but if you looked the other way there were ugly skyscrapers”.
The sunbeds were plastic, their wedding tent “looked like it came out of B&Q” and the atmosphere was “more 18-30” than royal.

'Sandals was more like a sweaty flip-flop' ... Katie Price has hit out at resort after disastrous big day
 

Model Katie said: “Sandals, my a*** — it was more like a smelly old flip-flop.”
Sandals said it was “disappointed Ms Price was not happy with her stay” and that the butler denied making any derogatory remarks.
It added: “As a gesture of goodwill we are willing to offer her a refund on condition she does not choose our resorts for any future weddings or stays.”


SANDALS RESORTS' FULL STATEMENT


Sandals Resorts are surprised by the allegations made by Ms Price. Without an international profile, the resort team were oblivious of Ms Price’s fame and welcomed her with the award-winning service given to all its guests.

Once at the resort Ms Price did identify herself to her dedicated Wedding Manager and explained her profile in the UK.

The team were thoroughly understanding and accommodating of Ms Price’s request for privacy, offering use of the resort’s private offshore island, Sandals Cay, for her wedding ceremony and the duration of her stay.

However, Ms Price declined this offer, and against the Sandals team’s advice opted instead to hold the ceremony on the public beach where she was photographed by paparazzi.

As with all Butler Suite guests, Ms Price was assigned a dedicated butler who are all trained by the “Guild of Professional English Butlers”.

Part of this service includes serving gourmet meals from a choice of ten on property restaurants in suite at no additional cost. The resort also offers private candle lit dining in a variety of discreet locations for all its guests.

Her dedicated butler, who is used to dealing with VIP’s denies making any derogatory remarks.

Sandals Resorts is disappointed that Ms Price was not happy with her stay and as a gesture of goodwill are willing to offer her a refund on condition that she does not chose our resorts for any future weddings or stays.

Sandals has been welcoming guests through its doors for over three decades and prides itself on excellent service, award winning product and has one of the highest returning guest rates in the industry.

Sandals has been awarded some of the industry’s top accolades and awards including the ‘World’s Leading All-Inclusive’ at the World Travel Awards and ‘Top All Inclusive Brand for Honeymooners’ by Brides Magazines.

Firefighters work to douse a fire at the Kiss Club in Santa Maria city, Rio Grande do Sul state



A fire in a Brazilian nightclub has killed at least 245 people with fears that the death toll could rise further, initial reports suggest.

The deadly blaze, at the Kiss nightclub in the city of Santa Maria, in the south of Brazil, began when a band set fire to a flag which ignited sound proofing foam on the ceiling, reports the Guardian.

Around 200 people have been injured.

Fire chief Guido de Melo told the Brazilian website, G1: "Fire services are looking for other victims. We can't give an exact number [of those killed]. People started panicking and ended up treading on each other,"

He added: "We have just taken the fire under control. Now we are removing the bodies."

Rescue services had to smash through walls to reach those trapped inside.

Reports suggest many choked to death or were trampled in the rush to escape the nightclub which only had one exit.

One survivor, Aline Santos Silva, 29, told Globonews TV: "It was really fast. There was a lot of smoke, really dark smoke.

"We were only able to get out quickly because we were in a VIP area close to the door."

There may have been as many as 2000 people in the nightclub at the time of the fire.
