Ennio Morricone, the Oscar-winning Italian film composer, has died at the age of 91

The Italian musician, who is credited for his work on more than 400 films and TV shows, died on Monday, July 6, at the Campus Bio-Medico in Rome, a week after suffering a fall in which he broke his femur.

His death was confirmed by his lawyer, Giorgio Assumma, who also disclosed that Morricone requested a private funeral.

Morricone began his career as a trumpet player before switching to film composition in 1961.

He created music for more than 70 award-winning movies, including “Once Upon a Time in the West ” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” which earned him a spot in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2009. He also won an Academy Award for his soundtrack for Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight” in 2016.

The Nigerian police has denied detaining Seyitan Babatayo, the lady who accused singer, D’banj, of rape.

A police source who spoke to Vanguard, said D’banj reported on three separate occasions at FCID for interrogation and statement, while Seyitan repeatedly refused to show up. Her alleged non-appearance led to the prompt dispatch of officers by the Force CID to Lagos, to invite her for written statement and interrogation on the alleged rape incident.

The police source insisted that there might be a mix up by the legal representative of Seyitan over claims of being arrested and detained by Police operatives at Ikeja in Lagos for 24 hours.

The security official insisted that the alleged rape victim was only invited to give her written statement and also to be interrogated as it was necessary for her to come forward to give a statement to back up her accusation.

54 Year old Pastor Defile A 12 Year Old Girl…

54-year-old pastor, Niyi Omowodun, has been arrested by men of the Ogun state police command for allegedly defiling a 12-year-old girl at Ejigun Agbede Itele Ota in Ado-Odo local government area.

The spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspect was arrested on Monday, June 29 following a complaint from the father of the victim at Itele Divisional headquarters.

Abimbola said the aggrieved father told the police that while he was at his working place, he received a call from one of his neighbors that is daughter had been sexually abused by the suspect and that the said neighbor caught the man in the act.

“Upon the report, the DPO Itele Division CSP Monday Unuigbe detailed his detectives to go after the man and he was subsequently arrested. On interrogation, the suspect who claimed to be a pastor at Helmet of Life international church confessed having unlawful carnal knowledge of the little girl.

He stated further that he lured the girl into an uncompleted building in the area when the girl was going on an errand.
When asked whether he has no wife, the suspect explained that he has separated with his wife since 2016” Oyeyemi said

Oyeyemi added that the Commissioner of Police, Kenneth Ebrimson has ordered the transfer of the suspect to anti-human trafficking and child labor unit of the State Criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the probe of the policemen who allegedly arrested D’banj’s rape accuser, Seyitan Babatayo.

The IGP gave the order in a letter signed on his behalf by his Principal Staff Officer, DCP Idowu Owohunwa and addressed to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Criminal Investigation Department, Garki.

The IGP’s letter was sequel to a petition written by Seyitan’s lawyer, Ojoge, Omileye and Partners.

In the IGP’s letter titled “Re: Petition Against Inspector Abraham, Supol Ugowe and the Entire Police Officers Team at Ikeja, Lagos Division of the Inspector General of Police”, the IGP asked that the petition from Seyitan Babatayo’s lawyer be addressed.

The petition from Babatayo’s legal representative – Ojoge, Omileye and Partners – allege that policemen attached to the Intelligence Response Team arrested Seyitan on the directive of D’Banj and detained her for over 24 hours.

It was also alleged that they denied her access to her phone and her lawyers and she was subjected to intimidation and psychological torture by the policemen.

The petition read in part, “On Tuesday, June 16, 2020, our client was picked up alongside a friend, Favour, at her residence in Lagos by the officers of the Ikeja IGP IRT. The arrest was without any warrant and neither our client nor her friend, Favour, was informed of the reasons for their arrest.

“According to our client, she was told to write a statement denying ever meeting with Mr. Oyebanjo (D’Banj) and to also state that she lied against the person of Mr. Oyebanjo. In actual fact, our client was about to write the statement which she believed would be a basis for her release when the counsel came in and stopped her from writing such a statement.

“The counsel further informed the policemen that all actions to the alleged rape of our client in December 2018 by Mr. Oyebanjo have been transferred to the DIG FCID for a thorough investigation and that they need to stay the action.

This is called infibulation: it is the complete scraping of the vagina and its enclosure to prevent the girl from having sex

This is called infibulation: it is the complete scraping of the vagina and its enclosure to prevent the girl from having sex, they leave a little hole for the girl so that she has her period and urinates. They tie their legs with a rope for days so that the wound can heal, it usually takes 15 to 40 days, the girl remains tied, unable to move. Basically the stitches are reopened by her husband on the wedding day so that he can have intimate relationships with her. At birth women must be cut again because the opening of the vagina is too small for the passage of the baby. Imagine the pain, the trauma ….. Such monstrous and cannibalistic practices still exist all over the world. Share it is the least you can do. Most people don’t even know what it is or the horror that still exists. Please share If you’re choked at first after reading this then you continue scrolling as if you saw nothing and without at least sharing, these people don’t need your pity they need help, they need people to speak for them, and take their voices that cannot be heard out to the world.
