Will Moyes still lose more?
Manchester United manager David Moyes has penned an open letter to supporters in which he accepts that his first season in charge has gone worse than expected.

Praising the “magnificent” fans for their patience, the Scot, who was hand-picked to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson last summer by the man himself, admitted that their struggles have taken him by surprise but is adamant that things will get better.

“While I knew that this job would be a challenge when I took it on, the difficult season we have experienced was not something that I envisaged, which I am sure is the case as well for you supporters,” wrote Moyes.

TERRIBLE: Vehicles Crush 20 Pupils In Anambra & Cross River

A Toyota Camry lost control on Thursday and ran into some secondary school pupils at the Umuokpu Junction along the old Onitsha-Enugu Expressway, Awka, Anambra State.

Photo: LASTMA Official Arrested For Slapping A Chief Magistrate



                                                       Shittu hiding his face from the press
This is what we have been telling them, you are not above any citizen because you wear a LASTMA uniform. A LASTMA official has bitten more than what he could chew on Wednesday, 5th of March, 2014 in Pencinema Agege, when he allegedly slapped a chief magistrate. He has been handed over to the police and will soon be charged to court. But how can a man in his right senses slap a woman because you claim she broke the law. How could you? Oh well… Good luck Shittu! Here's how Pm News is reporting the incident.
An official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, identified as Taye Shittu, has been arrested by the police at Pen Cinema Police Station for allegedly slapping a Chief Magistrate, Mrs. Komolafe Abimbola of Court 2 Ikeja, Lagos, western Nigeria.
She was on her way to the office around Pen Cinema area of Agege when the incident happened on Wednesday.

P.M.NEWS investigation revealed that Shittu accused Mrs. Abimbola of not obeying the traffic light and ordered her to come out of her car.
She was said to have obeyed Shittu's instruction after which there was an argument between them. During the argument Shittu was said to have slapped Mrs. Abimbola and she sustained injury on her face.
The victim reported the assault at Pen Cinema Police Station and Shittu was promptly arrested by the police.

While confirming the incident, Lagos State Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Damatus Ozoani, said the accused will be charged to court after the conclusion of police investigation.
A senior official of LASTMA who pleaded for anonymity also told P.M.NEWS that Shittu has been tried internally and was subsequently dismissed from LASTMA  and handed over back to the police for prosecution.
"We have conducted a board room trial for him and he has been dismissed from the service. We have also handed him over back to the police for prosecution. We do not condone such act in LASTMA,'' said the source.
As a result of the incident, P.M.NEWS learnt that the court Mrs. Abimbola is presiding over could not sit yesterday as litigants had to take adjournment for their cases.

I Didn’t Rape Anyone, Someone Is Trying To Set Me Up- Obesere

Famous Fuji musician, Alhaji Qudus Abass Akande fondly called Obesere has opened up on the rape scandal making the rounds about him.  In an exclusive chat, the Ibadan born musician said the rape scandal is a grand conspiracy set up by his enemies.
"I don't know who is behind this but I'm sure my God will turn the story to my glory," he prayed.

Narrating his own side of the story, Obesere said he came in contact with the girl in question, Miss Olanike Olaiya, on February 5, 2014 in Ibadan through his old friend, Bola Okoro for an ongoing business project tagged 'Obesere Rice.' She is supposed to be one of the beneficiaries of the project as a marketer.
And in furtherance to their business discussion, she came to his Lagos residence in Okota on February 10, 2014. Obviously, an intimate relationship between two consenting adult had developed between them.
Awed by his famous celebrity image, she was all over him, entering the nooks and crannies of his house like the woman of the house, and even doing the cooking, and making several advances for a romantic relationship with the Fuji star. One thing led to the other, and she offered to stay the night in the cozy environment.
After having a swell time, she departed the following day with smiles.
But to Obesere's utter surprise, he got an invitation from the Isolo Police Division that a girl who departed happily from his house has reported him for rape four days after her departure. To him, it was a laughable mater!
With further probe and investigation, Obesere said he discovered ab-into through the link-person that she had planned to extort him.
"When I called Bola who introduced her to me, she said Alhaji wake up, this girl had to told me before that we should dupe you that you have money but I declined."
With this discovery, he said his lawyer quickly advised him to transfer the case to higher police authority at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, for proper handling and investigation. He is now the complainant and the girl is now running helter-skelter to defend her obvious lies.
"I can tell you she is now on the run. As at Thursday I was at Panti but she was nowhere to be found. Mark my words, she and her cronies or whoever behind this will never survive this. God will vindicate me."
Now, the questions on the lips of many are: is it believable for Obesere with his status to rape? With many female fans and admirers of his prowess, is it possible for him to rape? Has a medical doctor examined her with the claim of a ring inserted into her private part? And why has she been on the run ever since the case was transferred to Panti?

The answers to these questions are obvious to you and I as time will certainly tell.

WICKEDNESS: Father Rapes 13 Year Old Daughter Repeatedly, Girl now on wheel chair [Photo]

A 13-year-old girl is now confined to a wheelchair after her 55-year-old father repeatedly raped her.
Narrating her ordeal, the girl said her she was locked up by her father in a room where he had multiple s*x with her. He then threatened her that she’d die if she ever told anyone about the incident.
She said she kept the matter to herself until her mother who was at the time of the incident separated from her father came to her aid through the intervention of the Tema Main Harbour DOVVSU division.

According to the mother of the defiled victim, Eunice Otoo, after the ordeal, her daughter can no longer walk and is now confined to a wheel chair.

She also wears diapers constantly as she has been suffering urinary incontinence since the incident took place.

Madam otoo is calling for the arrest of her husband so that justice can be served as this is the second daughter he has defiled.

She said she has no money to take her daughter to see a specialist as recommended by the medical doctor and is appealing to the public and to the hierarchy of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) to come to the aid of her daughter.
