One Of Kim Kardashian's Jewelry Thieves Confesses, Reveals Nearly All Her Stolen Jewelry Was Melted Down

Kim Kardashian will never see her stolen jewelry again. According to one of the thieves responsible, most of the bling doesn’t even exist anymore.
via TMZ:
Paris law enforcement confirms to TMZ … one of the thieves in the October robbery confessed everything but the ring was melted down … because the robbers felt they’d be caught trying to sell the pieces.

 According to Le Monde newspaper, the melted down bling was worth somewhere between $26k and $30k. Pretty shocking since the value of the melted down jewelry was $1.6 million.

As for the $4 million ring … it’s still intact, but law enforcement tells us there’s almost no chance of finding it. As we reported, police believe it went almost immediately to the Belgium black market.

LAUTECH Lecturers Promise To continues Strike Until States Pay N7.6 Billion Outstanding Subvention

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, has said lecturers would continue their strike until owner-states agree to pay N7.6 billion outstanding subvention.

The ASUU Chairman in LAUTECH, Dr. Biodun Olaniran, who spoke at the weekend on the issue, said that the owner states owe institution about N7.6 billion and that out of this, Osun State owes N5.3 billion, while Oyo State is owing about N2.3 billion.

He said: “While we understand the economic situation of the country, we have to think about our welfare too. We cannot continue to be owed salaries and subventions by the owners.
“We are talking about a workable payment plan of the balance of subventions owed by the owners, our salaries and other wages.” Explaining that the action is to protect its members and also the institution’s students, the union cited insincerity on the part of the owners-states and lack of their commitment as the other reasons responsible for their latest decision.


The lecturers have been on strike since June 2, 2016 with academic activities in the institution paralysed since then. Olaniran said the union wants to start on a clean slate in 2017. “We don’t want them to plunge the school into huge debts that will choke it. Our position is straightforward. It is not tied to salaries but the sustainable funding of the university.

The ASUU chairman disclosed: “The two states are supposed to give LAUTECH N295 million as subventions every month but they have not been doing this. The two states just paid LAUTECH N500 million. This is not enough. Is it going to be monthly or how? They have to state this and assure us that from January 2017, they will no longer owe. If this is not done, we will resume and go back to the starting point very soon.”

He insisted that the two states must commit themselves to prove that they were ready to defray the outstanding subvention. On the meeting it held with the alumni association of the school last week, the union chairman said the meeting was called to explain the situation to the body (alumni). They expressed sympathy and promised to wade into the matter.

First Heavy Rainfall In 2017 Causes Flooding, Traffic Jam In Lagos

The first heavy rainfall in the Lagos metropolis on Monday left in its wake flooding and traffic jam in some parts of the city.
The rain, which started in the early hours of Monday, left knee-deep floods in some parts of Adeniji area in Lagos Island as well as Ikoyi and Victoria Island in Eti Osa Local Government Area.
Some of the residents at Idumagbo Avenue on Lagos Island said that the flooding was caused by the blockage of the major canal in the neighbourhood and its overflow.

One of the residents, Mr Yinka Shittu, said that ongoing road construction works in the area also contributed to the flooding.

He said, “You can see that there is ongoing reconstruction work on this road which has not been completed.
“Also, construction works where the drainage canal meets the road have yet to be completed.
“Traders and some of us living in this area have tried to open up the drainage systems but the water had been stagnant.”

Alhaji Malik Yaro, a watch repairer and trader in the area, said that some residents had the drains into refuse dumps.
He said, “I am, therefore, not surprised that the floodwater here today was knee deep.
“People dump refuse of all sorts — empty containers, takeaway plates and papers — in the drainage system.

“I am assuring you that if the situation it continues this way, nobody will like to pass through this place whenever it rains heavily like this again and the floodwater may enter people’s homes and shops.”

Another trader, Mr. Chudi Ibeazu, noted that the construction works in the neighbourhood were not moving fast the way they ought to be.
He said, “Since November 2016, the slabs where the canal joined the main road had been opened and we have not seen any serious work to show that they want to open up the drainage system for water to flow.
“You can see from the pattern of flooding; on the left side, coming from Adeniji, the water is still moving but on the right side, the water is not moving at all.
“My wish is for the government to take a cue from the effect which this rainfall had on the area and speed up construction works in the area.

“We clear the drainage system at the point where the canal joins the road every other day and especially on Thursdays, but the problem is that the water in the canal does not flow.”
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Dr Babatunde Adejare, said that the government would not relent in its efforts to stem flooding in every part of the Lagos metropolis.
He, however, underscored the need for people to change their indiscriminate waste disposal habits and refrain from turning canals and drains into refuse dumpsites.

Adejare said that such behavioural change was necessary because sudden rainfall, like the one that occurred on Monday, would cause flooding.
He said that the rainwater would also carry the debris out of the drains and litter the roads, thereby making the roads very untidy and filthy.

The new couple were spotted in Italy this weekend and appeared unable to keep their hands off each other as they traveled throughout Venice on their romantic getaway.

According to Enews onlooker "She would caress his face and kiss him often. He makes her laugh and she was completely focused on him. It was like no one else existed, just the two of them. They were completely immersed in one another."

 They haven't called each other boyfriend or girlfriend yet, but they are exclusively just with each other. They are both very smitten about each other."


After their dinner, photogs caught the couple showing PDA while taking in the Italian evening. At one point, the R&B singer wrapped his arms around his girlfriend, kissing her on the cheek as she appeared to snap a selfie on her phone.
Gomez looked chic in a red sweatshirt, which she paired with cropped jeans and heels, wearing her hair back in a bun. The Weeknd, on the other hand, opted for a more casual look in white tennis shoes and a matching white hat, which he paired with a denim coat, dark pants and accessorized with a gold chain.

Man Poisons His 11-Year-Old Twin Daughters To Death, Accused Them Of Witchcraft In Calabar

 

A 40-year-old man, Anyanime Festus was arrested by the Cross River State Police Command for  allegedly poisoning his twin daughters in Akampka Local Government Area of Cross River in Calabar. The father poisoned his children because he blamed them for the death of his parents.
The father was arrested by the Divisional Police Station, Akampka, and then transferred to Police Headquarters in Calabar.

The suspect allegedly gave his 11-year-old twin daughters a black substance mixed with acid, took them to a bush path and made them drink it. The substance which is believed to be poison, led to their death on January 10 and 11, 2017.

According to Vanguard, a source said:

“The man told us that his daughters confessed to be witches and that he had no choice other than to kill them before they kill him. So he mixed acid with malt, took the twins to a bush path and gave them the substance to drink.”

Another source said:

“The twins were always wandering the streets. When brought back home by strangers, Festus usually chased them out again without food. Sometimes they were locked up and not given food for days.”

Vanguard reports that the twin girls had been imprisoned by their father for about three days after which he told them that he was going to them to school. He let them out and took them to the bush path where they were both poisoned

An eyewitness, said that before one of the twins died, she revealed that their father had taken them to a bush path at Nyaghasan on a bike, brought out a black substance and gave to them to drink.
She said they both drank it, but because the substance was bitter, she refused the second portion, but her sister drank both portions that their father offered them.

She said the twin said after they took the poison,  they started having stomach ache and complained to their father, who then pretended like he was going to get help for them but never returned for them.
The witness said:

“Not too long after, they started feeling dizzy and then fell asleep. When she woke up and tapped her sister, she was no longer breathing. 

“The deceased said she had to drag her sister’s lifeless body from the bush to the road. It was in the process that a good Samaritan saw them and informed the police, who then took both of them to Akamkpa General Hospital, where she later died at about 3:40a.m., on January 11.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Irene Ugbo, who confirmed the incident, said:

“We have apprehended the suspect; he was brought from Akamkpa this morning (Monday) to the headquarters. He confessed that he gave his daughters acid mixed with malt to drink because he had a premonition that they would kill him like they killed his parents. 

“He had the belief because they confessed to him that they were witches. So he carried out the dastardly act to save his life first.”
