Jealous man ends up with swollen genitals as charm backfires
Culled From: Leadership
A jealous farmer identified as
Mamudu (Surname withheld) in
Akuku-Igbo, Delta State, has
allegedly been inflicted with
swollen genitals after a charm
he planted on the path to the
farmland close to his, backfired.
It was gathered that Mamudu, a
cassava farmer, had engaged
another farmer whose farmland
is close to his own in a quarrel
during the last harvest and
allegedly threatened to make life
unbearable for him.
He was also alleged to have
reported a case of trespass into
his farmland to elders of the
community even as he told the
elders that his neighbour used
fetish means to suppress his
own crops, citing the instance
of the last season harvest where
most of his crops were
damaged while the other farmer
had a bountiful harvest.
The community elders were said
to have blamed Mamudu's
condition on his jealous attitude
and warned him against the
dangers.
Sources told LEADERSHIP that
this did not go down well with
him and he sought the help of a
native doctor to assist him with
fetish substance.
Trouble started last weekend
when he reportedly came home
with a substance he claimed
was prepared for him to grow
his cassava farm well but he
mistakenly planted on the path
leading to the farm and crossed
it against the warning of the
native doctor leaving him with
swollen genital organs.
Confessing to his crime, the
farmer admitted that the
substance was fetish adding
that he violated the instructions,
resulting in his present
situation.

A 34-year-old fake Soldier, Emmanuel Joseph has been arrested by the police at Elemoro Division, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, after he battered a labourer for allegedly refusing to give him a N3,000 bribe.
The severely injured victim, James Ihonde, a native of Benin City, who now is at hospital, told the police about what had happened: "I went to Hi-Tech yard to eat in a canteen and I met a man in military uniform with his friend inside the canteen. I requested for food from the owner of the canteen.
"Suddenly the man in the military uniform barked at me and said I have no respect for the Nigerian Army and that I was supposed to salute him, a military man, before requesting for food inside the canteen.
He later said I must pay him and his colleague the sum of N3,000 as bribe before I could eat food in the canteen.
Immediately I replied that he has no right to challenge me inside the canteen, the man and his friend descended on me and beat me with military belt and wood.
They stripped me naked and
inflicted injuries on my two
eyes and parts of my body.
They stole my handset, the
N4,000 in my pocket and the
sum of N6,000 belonging to the
owner of the canteen. They
later demanded for the sum of
N3,000 from me as bribe
before they could allow me to
go and treat myself.
Residents in the area
contributed the money and
gave it to them before they
abandoned me and left the
scene."

suspect, confessed to the crime
and denied being a military
officer.
When asked about the military
camouflage uniform he was
wearing, Joseph said that he
wears the uniform to cheat
members of the public because
he was jobless.
"I am not a soldier. I wear the military camouflage to harass and intimidate people and dispossess them of their belongings to survive since I am jobless.
I learnt the military tactics when I attended a military secondary school in Akure, Ondo State. I regret my actions," he allegedly told the police.

Singer 9ice goes back to school to study law
9ice has decided to go back and pursue his career as a lawyer. In a recent interview with Nigerian Tribune, he stated clearly that being a lawyer was his biggest dream. Read Below...
Your decision to leave school wouldn't have gone down well with your parents, how did they react to it and what was constantly coming to your mind back then?
It was not an easy decision to make. There were days that I had to live in the studio. Talking about my parents' reaction, I had to lie for a while, pretended as if all was well. Before my parents knew I wasn't in school, it was too late to complain because I was already on TVs, making money and rocking shows all around.
Would you consider going back to school someday?
I'm in school already, studying public safety and Common Law at Capella university. It is an online programme. I can't think of any other course except law.
Would you trade your being famous for something else if you look at some of the bad side of fame that you have experienced over time?
Yes, I will love to trade fame
with some silent life that does
not arrogate too much attention
to one, but it has got nothing to
do with any bad experience. No
matter what you do or who you
are, there's always a difficult
time and life challenges that you
can't run away from. But I will
really love to trade because I
wish to be a lawyer.That has
always been my dream.
Do you think life would have been different for you should you have been a lawyer?
Honestly, life as a normal person is fine and more wonderful, free, fair and peaceful. But as a public figure, you enjoy more and you pay more in terms of the price you pay for being famous. If I come to this world again, I would prefer normal life.
