SSS PARADE MAN ALLEGEDLY HIRED BY GOV. AKPABIO TO ASSASINATE SENATOR ETOK

Ex-militant Adeola Olaore
The State Security Service (SSS) today paraded ex-militant, 29-year-old Adelola Tamunotonye Olaore, alias "General Africa" as the man behind the plot to assassinate and extort money from Senator Aloysius Etok in Abuja. Senator Etok is the man that Governor Goodswill Akpabio openly admitted having rigged into office, although the Senator has said his election was transparent.

The problem is between the Governor and the Senator is that Senator Etok occupies the Ikot Ekpene Senatorial Seat, the same seat that governor Akpabio is 'eyeing' in 2015 when he leaves the office of the governor.  Akpabio gave the impression that Senator Etok is only holding the position in trust for him, but the Senator is refusing to vacate the seat.

MICHEAL JACKSON'S CLOSE FRIEND CLAIMS HE IS THE FATHER OF HIS THREE KIDS

                                 Mark Lester                                                  Prince Michael Jackson
                         Mark's daughter, Harriet                                          Paris Jackson

Michael Jackson's close pal of over 30 years and the godfather of his 3 kids, Mark Lester, is claiming to be the biological father of the late pop star's 3 kids. Lester, 54, claims there is a good possibility he is their father because in 1992, he donated sperm for the star a year before the first child, Prince Micheal was born. He said he is ready to take a DNA test to determine if he is the father of Prince Michael, 16, Paris, 15, and Blanket, 11. Here is what he said;

“I remember Michael ringing and saying, ‘Oh, you don’t have any fertility difficulties do you?’, Lester said. “He was half joking so I joked, ‘Oh, I just look at her and she gets pregnant.’So then in a light-hearted way he said, ‘Will you help me out?’ Initially I thought he wanted me to do something with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe and I was thinking, ‘I don’t think so’. Then out of the blue about a year later, he mentioned sperm donation and I agreed. Michael set it up for me to turn up to a clinic in Harley Street, London to do it. It was weird. I went in a couple of times to donate but we never talked about it ever again. It was a really strange request but while Michael was alive I never gave it another thought. I didn’t donate to get something out of it.”

You know, I always wondered why M.J being a black man had white kids. But then again, why is this guy coming out after M.J's death? What a friend! Smh. Continue after the cut...

Culled from PUNCH

Two brothers, who were killed in Shitta area of Lagos State on Thursday night, were celebrating the birthday of one of them. Mufutau Akewusola clocked 27 on that day and his little brother, 22-year-old Malik, joined him and few other friends to mark the day. They were having fun at a leisure spot not far from their house beside Shitta Primary School when gunmen arrived at the scene and rained bullets on the fun seekers. 

Mufutau, a graduate of Lagos State University and Malik, a 200-level student of the same institution, did not survive the attack. A pregnant woman, Mrs. Raimot Balogun, who was having a chat with the owner of the leisure spot, also died in the attack. A passer-by, Idris Shashore, was shot in the arm.
A relative of the slain brothers told PUNCH Metro on Sunday that the assailants were about eight in number.

CHARLES NOVIA ON KERI HILSON'S FUFU TWEET
