She then claimed the couple then went to bed where she performed a sex act on him before leaving him to sleep.
Edwards said she found him dead in bed seven hours later.

Edwards knifed her husband just months after they returned from their wedding in Las Vegas.
During her trial Manchester Crown Court heard she had attacked her husband several times in heated rows.

David even had to wear make-up over a black eye and fat lip on his wedding day to hide the abuse.

“You have a violent and bullying nature,” presiding judge William Davis said.

The couple were considered to be pillars of the community
“This deadly attack with a deadly weapon was the culmination of long term bullying by you of this highly respected member of the community.

“Your bullying of him robbed people of a decent man who was a highly valued member of the community.”
Speaking on behalf of the British prosecution service, Rob Jensen said the case serves to highlight that men can be victims of domestic abuse too.

“Domestic abuse can come in all sorts of guises and this case is another in the sad catalogue of violent repressive relationships that seem to rob the victim of their power or ability to stop the violence.”

Reports from Benue state have it that suspected Fulani herdsmen have invaded some communities and have killed about eight persons in a fresh attack.

According to Vanguard, the incident which occurred on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 in parts of Logo local government area of state, is coming barely a week after suspected Fulani invaders killed about 300 persons in Agatu communities in the state.

Four villages; Tse Chia, Tse Nhumbe, Deghkia and Ngorukgan were stormed at about 2am, were besieged by the gunmen who were said to be shooting sporadically and burning down houses and huts in the affected communities.

“It was a coordinated attack on the four villages by the well armed herdsmen who stormed our villages in large number, around 2am and shooting sporadically.

“It was the sound of their gunshot that woke everyone from sleep resulting in a stampede and the gunning down and macheting of about 8 persons though the causality figure maybe more than that because many person are still unaccounted for just as scores sustained serious injuries.

“As I speak with you the affected villages have been deserted and the invaders have taken over and are razing in the ancestral homes of the people who have fled to Anyii, Ugba and Abeda towns, in their thousands, for fear of being killed.

“It’s a pathetic situation, the development has inflicted untold hardship on women, children and the elderly who are trekking long distances in search of safe haven and awaiting the intervention of security operatives,” a source informed.

The Benue state police spokesman, Assistant Superintendent (ASP), Moses Yamu in his response to the attack, said he was yet to receive details of the development.

This is not the first time that the cattle rustlers would enter communities to kill residents as they also ensured serious panic in Uzo Uwani local council area of Enugu state, where many people were confirmed dead and properties worth millions destroyed. http://www.bengist247.com/2016/03/8-feared-dead-as-fulani-herdsmen-attack.html?m=0

The source informed further that they decided to bury the late minister immediately was informed by the fact that he died at a young, adding that his demise came as a rude shock to the family, friends and relations who were still yet to come to terms with the tragedy.

Also, the source disclosed that since the late minister was a practicing and devout Christian, Easter activities would eat into the burial proceedings if delayed in any way.

The source said: “It is only if it is a celebration of life for one that is old that we delay the corpse. The minister did not die at the ripe age so there is no way we could continue to delay the burial. His death is pathetic to us.”

Reports say as at Tuesday morning, many synpathisers were still seen thronging the residence of the late minister at 4, Dagash street, Kado Estate, Abuja with their faces suggesting their worries.

Ocholi, his wife and son had lost their lives on the Kaduna-Abuja expressway on Sunday, March 6 after a fatal car crash and the driver, who initially survived the accident, was confirmed dead on Monday in Abuja.

South African special forces to fight Boko Haram
President Zuma and Buhari are expected to firm up trade and investment relations between the Nigeria and South Africa.


The federal government is to bolster the counter insurgency war by deploying South African special forces to fight Boko Haram insurgents following a bilateral agreement between Nigeria and South Africa.

Disclosing details of the agreement, in Abuja on Monday March 7, Nigeria’s Defence minister Mansur Dan-Ali said he met with his South African counterpart, Nobise Mapisa-Nqakula, on Monday to finalise modalities for the special forces deployment ahead of the arrival of President Zuma.

According to Daily Trust, he said the visit by Zuma is also expected to firm up trade and investment relations between the two countries which are the largest economies on the African continent.

“It is a very good thing that we are thinking that South Africa being our close ally should come and help us in developing our industrial complex, that is the Defence Industry Corporation of Nigeria.

“We are of the opinion that very soon, after the two Commanders-in-Chief meet, we will look into going deep on how the two countries will work together and come to an agreement on the MoU and technical expertise between the two countries,” he said.

“This is just like the special forces that have been discussed by the two Chiefs of Defence Staff; that one will come into being between the two countries as soon as possible.”

Dan-Ali said in 2013, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between the two countries with extensive bilateral agreements on defence cooperation, adding that the country acquired some mine resistant armoured vehicles from South Africa.

He said South African defence expertise may be needed for maintenance of the vehicles purchased and for other and operational purposes.

In her remarks, Ms Mapisa-Nqakula noted that the cooperation between the two countries would lead to stronger ties.

She said South Africa was interested in how best to engage in areas of cooperation, information sharing, training, research and development and exchange programs that would help the two countries deal with security challenges. http://www.bengist247.com/2016/03/south-african-special-forces-to-fight.html?m=0

Tagged ‘The Joseph Yobo Centenary Game’ the encounter is being put together by the Joseph Yobo Foundation in partnership with the Rivers State Government.

Other players like Yaya Toure, Vincent Enyeama are expected at the event are also penciled down.

The now retired centre-back was the first player to get a 10 caps; representing the national team at three FIFA World Cups and six Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in the process.

Yobo’s last appearance for Nigeria was against France in a round of 16 match at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Jacob Zuma, the president of South Africa on Tuesday, March 8, addressed a joint session of the National Assembly.

Zuma’s visit to Nigeria and President Buhari is aimed at mending the relations between the two giants of Africa, as there are also indications that it is an opportunity for both presidents to address the South Africa-Nigeria Business Forum.

But according to him, the main objective for his visit is to strengthen the relationship between Nigeria and South Africa so as both nation’s economic ties are fortified.

“The main objective of the relationship between Nigeria and South Africa is to ensure that economic ties are strengthened. We are proud of this country, as Nigeria charted the way Africans need to follow with the 2015 election.

“Nigeria’s role in ending apartheid in South Africa must be told endlessly to future generations of our people. Nigeria’s role in the reparation of South Arica has a special place in the history of the African continent and we must strive not to be left behind in the fourth industrial revolution. Presently, more than 120 companies from South Africa operate in Nigeria as against just four companies in 1999.

“But we must diversify our economies to provide more jobs for our people to break away from colonial strongholds and improve their living conditions. Economic cooperation between Nigeria and South Africa must be enhanced to enable Africa develop at a fast pace.

“The bilateral relationship between our countries improved in the last 16 years with over 120 South African Companies in Nigeria now.”

Zuma’s visit to the National Assembly is symbolic. It is the first time that the 8th National Assembly is honouring a visiting President and the second time that a President is addressing the joint session in the last 15 years. The last was in 2000 by a former US President, Bill Clinton.

Lai Mohammed says the present administration has achieved a lot in the fight against corruption and insurgency.

“As far as our Change Agenda is concerned, the journey so far has been good, and it will definitely get better as we progress.

Our major security nightmare, Boko Haram, is fast giving way to a sweet dream, while we have not shied away from taking on other security challenges. We are winning the war against corruption, even as corruption fights back fast and furious. We are committed to diversifying our economy away from oil, while plugging all financial leakages. Our President is working night and day to make our country a respected member of the comity of nations, once again,” he said.

Ese Oruru was abducted from her Bayelsa home, moved to Kano and allegedly forced to marry one Yunusa Yellow.

The chairman of the Kano state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop Ransom Bello has warned Muslims to desist from the trend of forceful abduction of teenagers and eventual conversion to Islam for marriage purposes.

Speaking on the backdrop of the Ese Oruru’s case, Bello said Christians had witnessed a lot of similar situations in Kano state like that in time past, lamenting that, efforts to return the abductees to their families most times were unsuccessful.

The bishop told Daily Post that the forceful abductions of Christian teenagers by Muslims was due to the fact that Christians were in the minority in the state.

He however warned that if such abductions fail to stop it might result in religious crisis because “there was a limit to which anyone can push a matter of this nature”.

He said:“We want the other religion to understand that what¬ever they don’t want us to do them, they should not do it to us. I don’t think we will like to do that to any Muslim girl.

“We don’t abduct Muslim girls and then, force them into conversion. No! If you marry your wife properly, with all the consents that are needed and your wife decided to be a Christian or Muslim, so be it!

“Nobody is against any young couple getting mar¬ried if they reach the age of marriage, if they are of age; but things should be done properly and, according to all the existing rules of their tradition, culture and faith.”
