I Sacrifice Cocks Every 3 Days for My Magic Rings to be Potent – Arrested Lagos Pickpocket

Published

on

A 25-year-old pickpocket arrested by the Lagos State Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has revealed that he sacrifices a cock every three days for the rings he uses in picking people’s pockets to be potent.
According to Francis Monday, the ring he got from an Islamic cleric helps him steal properties of his victims without them knowing. He also told newsmen that he can detect if someone is with money because the ring has been fortified to remove money from people’s pocket. .

He said; “An Alfa (an Islamic cleric) gave the rings to me. When we met at Alaba Rago market in early November, where I went to smoke Indian hemp, the Islamic cleric also came to smoke Indian hemp. While we were discussing, he told me that I looked like a street boy. He said rather than subjecting myself to so much suffering, that he could help me get rich, by giving me something that would better my life without stress. .
.
. “Initially I thought it was money ritual, surprisingly he brought out two rings and asked me to meet him at a secluded place. When we eventually met, he brought two cocks, alligator pepper and other ingredients. He then killed the cocks and poured the blood on the rings and mixed part of the blood with other ingredients. He said some incantations and poured the mixed concoction on the rings. As he was doing that, he kept mentioning my name on the rings. .
.
.
“At the end of the sacrifice, he gave me the two rings and charged me N50,000 for his services. But I told him I did not have such amount of money with me and I promised to pay him more than that when the rings would start fetching money for me. He agreed and left.” On the whereabouts of the Islamic cleric that gave him the ring, Francis said he is yet to see the Islamic cleric who told him he will collect the money for the ring ritual after he returns from a trip to his hometown in Togo.

Former Presidential Spokesperson Doyin Okupe Passes Away at 72

Published

on

Dr. Doyin Okupe, a veteran politician, medical doctor, and former presidential spokesperson, has passed away at the age of 72. His death was confirmed on Friday, March 7, 2025.

Family sources revealed that Dr. Okupe had been battling a critical illness for several weeks before his demise. Reports indicate that he succumbed to cancer after a prolonged struggle with the disease.

Okupe was first diagnosed with prostate cancer 16 years ago and later battled sarcoma in his right shoulder. In October 2023, he was hospitalized due to complications from prostate cancer and was flown to Israel for treatment. Despite medical efforts, his health continued to decline.

In October 2024, he shared a testimony video where he spoke about overcoming cancer twice, attributing his recovery to his faith in the Bible and the power of Jesus Christ. He encouraged Christians to hold on to their faith in times of hardship.

Beyond his medical battles, Okupe was a key player in Nigerian politics. He served as a senior adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan and played a pivotal role as the Director-General of Peter Obi’s 2023 Presidential Campaign. However, his political career was not without controversy. In December 2022, he resigned from Obi’s campaign after a money laundering conviction. Following the 2023 general elections, he also left the Labour Party and later became an outspoken supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Dr. Okupe’s passing marks the end of an era in Nigerian politics. He will be remembered for his contributions to governance, his resilience in the face of health challenges, and his unwavering engagement in national political discourse.

Senate Committee Recommends Six-Month Suspension for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan

Published

on

The Nigerian Senate is considering a six-month suspension for Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan following recommendations from its Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct.

According to the committee’s chairman, Senator Neda Imasuen, the Kogi Central lawmaker was found in violation of Senate rules, prompting the disciplinary action. If the recommendation is upheld, her suspension will take effect from March 6, 2025.

As part of the proposed sanctions, Senator Natasha’s office will be locked, and she will be barred from accessing the National Assembly premises for the duration of her suspension. Additionally, her salary and those of her legislative aides will be withheld. She will also be prohibited from representing Nigeria in any official capacity as a senator during the suspension period.

However, the committee suggested that she could submit a written apology for the Senate to reconsider her suspension.

This development follows Senator Natasha’s latest attempt to present a petition before the Senate, alleging sexual harassment by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Unlike her previous attempt, this petition was signed by her constituents.

During Thursday’s plenary session, she was asked whether the matter was already before a court of law, to which she responded in the negative. Following standard procedure, the Senate directed her to formally submit the petition, which was then referred to the Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct Committee for investigation. The committee has been given four weeks to conduct its probe and report back to the Senate.

This marks the second time Senator Natasha has raised allegations of harassment within the chamber, sparking concerns about the political implications of her possible suspension.
