to approach her, she said she is certainly not a hard knot to crack
when it comes to falling in love.

GRANDMOTHER CONCEALS 1.740 KILOGRAMS OF COCAINE IN SYRUP

Lagos — The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said
yesterday that it arrested a 65 year-old grandmother, Hassan Fatimat
Abike, also known as Chika Okoye, while attempting to smuggle 1.740kg
of cocaine into London in herbal syrup.

"This is not her fist time of going to London and the drug was
cleverly packed to avoid detection. It was packed in balloons and
inserted in ten plastic containers of herbal syrup," NDLEA said.

The agency added that the suspect was about to board a British Airways
flight when its officers arrested her on Wednesday.

According to the Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar, the suspect has
two international passports with numbers A03348648 and A3771781A.

"She was caught during the screening of British Airways passengers to
London. The cocaine found in her possession was packed in balloons and
prepared into plastic bottles. It was also wrapped in black polythene
bags. Each bottle was neatly sealed to avoid suspicion," he said.

Umar said preliminary investigation revealed that she is also known as
Chika Okoye, adding that she speaks Ibo and Yoruba fluently.

"Her father is a native of Abeokuta while her mother hails from
Owerri, Imo State. Hassan Fatimat Abike also known as Chika Okoye has
six children and many grandchildren. She currently lives alone in
Owerri and sells clothes to earn a living. The drug found in her bag
tested positive to cocaine," he added.

In her statement, she claimed that the drugs were given to her by a friend.

"I live in Owerri alone because my children are grown up and now have
their families. I sell clothes to take care of myself. I met an old
friend two weeks ago and during our discussion, I told him I will soon
be travelling to London. He asked me to deliver some herbal medicine
to his sick relative in London. I was only trying to assist an old
friend. I blame myself for everything because I should have turned
down his request. The drug was detected during a search at the
airport," she said.

Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, said the agency
is investigating her claim.

Two suspected brothers, Adebayo Tosin, 25, and Adebayo Opeyemi, 19
have been nabbed by the Ogun State Police command for allegedly raping
a 19-year-old girl.

The duo reportedly gang-raped the girl, while she was hawking palm oil
along the Secretariat Road in Imeko area of the state.

Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Okoye Ikemefuna while narrating
how the palm oil hawker was assaulted by the two brothers, said she
was stopped by one of the suspects under the pretext of wanting to buy
palm oil.

"It was in the process of negotiation that the boy forcefully dragged
me into a place where other boys numbering about five joined him and
tore my underwear and illegally had carnal knowledge of me,'' the
commissioner quoted the rape victim as having said.

The police commissioner further stated, "On receipt of the
information, detectives from the Imeko Division immediately raced to
the home of the suspects and arrested two of them while other gang
members escaped."

The Police Commissioner called on the public to be more security
conscious and ready at all times to feed security agencies with
necessary information.

SNOOP DOGG DEFENDS SMOKING WITH SON: YOU WANT TO REDUCE CRIME? LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

Snoop Dogg believes marijuana should be legalized. He believes it's
good stuff and that's why he encourages his son to take it.


Snoop smoking with son

While answering questions from The Hollywood Reporter, Snoop talks
candidly about the recent controversy surrounding pictures of him &
his son, Corde Broadus, smoking from a bong together.

"My kids can do whatever the hell they want. For me to say otherwise
would be hypocritical. A lot of motherf**kers don't have a
relationship with their kids, and that's when they get on drugs and
have suicidal thoughts and drive drunk. Me and my son is mellow. I'm
his father, so I wanna show him the proper way because he looks up to
me."

Speaking on why he wants marijuana legalized, the rapper says, "Go to
Amsterdam or the Netherlands where it is legal and you see that the
crime rate is nonexistent, the murder rate is probably under 10
percent, people learn to get along! There are people riding on
bicycles being happy and it's because of the environment that's
provided by the legalization of marijuana."

What kind of father is Snoop Dogg? Lol

PHOTOS : Anti-Islam filmmaker( Nakoula Basseley Nakoula) arrested

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – A US judge ordered the alleged filmmaker behind a
video that sparked protests across Muslim countries detained without
bond Thursday, saying
there was a risk he would try to flee.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the alleged director/producer of "Innocence
of Muslims," appeared in court after being arrested for breaching the
terms of his probation for a 2010
banking fraud conviction.

Prosecutor Robert Dugdale said the 55-year-old had allegedly made
eight breaches, including making false statements to probation
officers and using at least three different names. Judge Suzanne Segal
ruled that Nakoula, who has been

hiding since protests erupted over his film, be detained without bond,
saying he was a flight risk and a danger to the community. "The court
has a lack of trust in this defendant," she said.
Concerns have been raised for Nakoula's safety due to the widespread
anger his alleged video has provoked among Muslims, and his
hastily-arranged court appearance was held under tight security in
downtown LA.

The hearing was closed to the public, but journalists and anyone else
interested was allowed to follow proceedings via videoconference from
a separate building.

Nakoula — allegedly the real identity behind the pseudonym Sam Bacile,
listed as the director of "Innocence of Muslims" — was briefly taken
into custody earlier this month for questioning by his probation
officer.

He was traced to a home address in Cerritos, south of Los Angeles,
after international protests erupted against the 14- minute trailer
video posted online. The film depicting the Prophet Mohammed as a
thuggish deviant offended many Muslims, and sparked a wave of
anti-American protests that have cost several lives and saw mobs set
US missions, schools and businesses ablaze.

electrifying newss recently when he publicly declared his love for
Akama Miki, a 12-year-old Canadian-based child model.

followers, just after her 12th birthday. "I simply can't wait for

this, nor do we feel the need to prove anything to these people. All
we can do is continue to persevere with our love, our life, and being
together."
