Lagos Police Arrests Chinese Businessman Over Plan to Assassinate Nigerian Partner

According to The Nation, the Chinese businessman was arrested in Lagos Island after police operatives nabbed one Chika Eze, whom he paid N1.4 million to hire killers.


It was gathered that Chika had secured the services of two men whom he paid N400,000 to carry out the task, but the police got wind of the plans and swooped in on them Thursday afternoon, while they were taking an oath of secrecy.

Confessing to the crime, Eze said the Chinese discussed the cost of the assassination with the other two guys, adding that his role was to hire them.

“He is my boss. He told me to arrange boys to kill his business partner who owes him money. He discussed the amount with them and then gave me N1.4 million. I had already given them N400,000. That was why the police found one million Naira on me,” said Eze.

The Chinese, who claimed to be an importer of footwear, said he only told Eze to recruit boys who would do “juju” against the man.

He said the unnamed business partner owed him over N4million for many years.
“He refused to pay my money. He went to court when I was not around and claimed that I owed him N10 million. He got a judgment against me and the court said I should pay.

“He is an Igbo man and I did not ask them to kill him. I told them to do ‘juju’ against the man,” Hun said.


While confirming Hun’s arrest, the Lagos state commissioner of police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, urged residents to adopt peaceful approaches to resolving conflicts. He added that the sum of N1m recovered from Eze will be used as exhibit in court.

Pioneering rock guitarist Scotty Moore, who was a member of Elvis Presley's original band, has died aged 84. He died in Nashville on Tuesday after several months of poor health. He is credited with helping Elvis shape his musical sound and inspired generations of guitarists. Moore was the last survivor of Elvis's original band which included Presley, bassist Bill Black and producer Sam Phillips. As part of The Blue Moon Boys Moore backed Presley on many of his legendary songs including Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes and Jailhouse Rock. Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones was one of those inspired by Moore. He once said: "When I heard Heartbreak Hotel, I knew what I wanted to do in life. "It was as plain as day. All I wanted to do in the world was to be able to play and sound like that. Everyone else wanted to be Elvis, I wanted to be Scotty." Born in Tennessee, Moore began playing guitar at the age of eight. After a spel...

Marcus Rashford scores four goals in one Manchester United youth game in 2014

The world of football may have been left shocked by the sudden emergence of Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, but those ingrained in the club's youth system would have seen it coming.                 Two goals against FC Midtjylland were followed by a further two against Arsenal in the Premier League, leaving the Old Trafford faithful convinced that the next great academy star has been found. But while the Gunners defence failed to take the pacey 18-year-old seriously, coaches in the Red Devils youth academy would have known exactly what to expect from him. They have seen him embarrass defenders on plenty of occasions in his upbringing. Most notably, the young striker put his talent on display in the famous Milk Cup, held in Northern Ireland, where he scored four goals in a single game in 2014. Now, that footage has re-emerged online and is here for all Manchester United fans to see. OJPals , share your thoughts below!

5 Times Serena Williams and Her Toned Body Served Us #SummerBody Goals

Image
Summer is here and tennis legend Serena Williams is reminding fans the importance of staying healthy, eating healthy and working out. Yesterday, Williams took to SnapChat to share selfies she took by the pool. Dressed in a black two-piece swimsuit, the tennis star struck a confident pose, and it brought back the memories of how far she had come. Recall that in her interview with Times UK, Williams said it took years before she learned to love her own body. “I know I get flak for my physique and it has been a struggle to love my body,” she told Times UK, adding, “but now curves are in and I’m happier in myself.” Williams had also been body-shamed by people who described her as being too ‘muscular’. Many times she faced media criticism which ignored her victories and talked rather about how ‘muscular’ she looked. Overtime, the athlete turned that criticism around. “Strong is beautiful,” she wrote in March, and ever since has never being...
