Justice Demi-Ajayi of the Federal High Court sitting in Benin City,  Edo State has  convicted and sentenced  Osawaru Samson to two years imprisonment,  with an option of fine  of N1,000,000( One Million Naira only).


 Samson was arraigned by the Benin Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a two count charge bordering on impersonation.

One of the counts read: "That you Osawaru Samson on or about the 6th day of May, 2019 at Benin City,  within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court fraudulently impersonated Kennedy Lucas and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22(2)(b)(ii) of the Cybercrimes (prohibition prevention, etc) Act, 2015 and punishable under Section 22(2)(b)(iv) of the same Act.

Samson pleaded guilty to the charges  when they  were read to him.

In view of his plea, prosecution counsel,  M. Funkeye prayed the court to convict and sentence the defendant accordingly. However, defence counsel,  Paul Ejiga prayed the court to temper justice with mercy as the defendant was a first -time offender and has promised never to return to crime.

Justice Demi-Ajayi sentenced the defendant to two years imprisonment or a fine of One Million Naira. The convict is also to undertake in writing to be of good behaviour forthwith.

MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

"From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship." "I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken," she countered. The pair have been married since 1997, have two children together, and said they are currently back together after a split. On what Alsina said about Will Smith giving his blessing, making people believe they were in open marriage, Pinkett Smith said,
