Update on Female banker accused of hiring assassins to kill her estranged husband in Lagos
Now, a friend of the accused woman, Nicole Chioma Ugochukwu, over the weekend, took a trip to Ogun state Police station in Eleweran Abeokuta, Ogun state where Oluchi is being held in custody. She gave an update on the matter.
According to Nicole, the Female banker was set up by her estranged husband who had allegedly sworn to deal with her so much that no man would look at her again after their separation. Read what Nicole wrote on her Facebook page below
We made a trip to Ogun state today 29th of October 2016, where A lovely soul is languishing in Ogun state police Eleweran Abeokuta and her name is Oluchi Mbonu ( maiden name ).
Oluchi is a seasoned banker , a friendly soul, a dear friend , a sister and above all a mother to a lovely beautiful young daughter.
Oluchi is being accused of conspiring with some dirty frail looking guys labeled ASSASSINS .... Lol.... to kill her hubby ( thou hubby is still very much alive ) . I am not a lawyer neither am I the police but it's not rocket science to know that this is just a Bogus story to ruin her reputation and tarnish her image. The picture is so clear that she is a VICTIM of circumstance and evil manipulation from a bitter Man( ex hubby) .....Ooh yes , he threatened to deal with her and after he is done , no man would look at her .
My fellow Nigerians , this treat is in motion and we all must join hands together to stop it and make a difference .
How can we do this? Let's make noise until the real story is told . Yes justice must surely take it's course but it's taking too long . She has no business in Eleweran police station, this case should be transferred to Lagos State where the so called failed assassination took place so proper investigation can take it's course .
Pls let's join hands and speak up till the proper authorities take up this case .
Lagos state police where una dey ? Transfer this case naaaa... Biko nu .
QUESTIONS:::
1)What is the brothers name, address and phone number of the brother they were to deliver the car to in Onitsha? She must have given them precise instructions !
2) what is the name of the 3rd accomplice at large ? And was it the 3 of them that attacked the husband ? What is his name ? They have the name and surname of the other paraded 2?
3) why is she locked up in ogun state while the crime was commited in the hubby's home in Lekki? Shouldn't she be extradited to the jurisdiction where the failed assasination was commited?
4) the assassins said they were paid 500,000. Was it given to them in cash ? Where and when ( dates and time stamps ) ? Did the assassins pay the 500k into their account ? If they did , where is statement of account ? Did they keep it under their bed or where is the 500k ? Or did they finish chopping it so fast in this buhari economy ?
5) how long did they plan this failed assassination? There must be phone records and voice calls between her and them and this records can be retrieved from the network provider Mtn. Was this done ?
6) why was she paraded as a criminal the very next day after her arrest without investigation. Why was her picture plastered all over the internet and newspapers the very next day?
7) why hasn't even a single soul in the name of the ex hubby's friends or family come forward to corroborate his story or tell us that his accused wife is capable of this crime?
All media houses And bloggers who carried the story sharp sharp , pls take correction .... Thank you for trying to murder her name ... Oluchi is going to come out victorious after proper INVESTIGATION is carried out.
Note ; attached are pictures of the lovely lady oluchi not the pictures the media wants us to swallow by force with 2 dirty scruffy looking scallywags .
NOTE; she remains innocent until proven guilty ..
Proper investigation is all we ask for ... So justice can prevail.

Photos: Akwa Ibom man accuses his children of witchcraft, nails them on the cross in Calabar
An act reminiscent of the nailing of Jesus Christ on the
Cross, Friday Akpan subjected his two children aged, 12 and 6
respectively, to harrowing treatment by nailing them to a plank in shape
of a cross and locking them up in a dark, thatch hut without food for
weeks. He claimed that the children took his money to their "master in
the witchcraft coven and therefore deserve no mercy". He told the
police.
Following weeks starvation, the two children whose emaciated
and dirty physical appearance replicate the gory images of starving
children in famine-ravaged Somalia and war-torn Sudan said they survived
by water which was supplied to them by one of the man's kids from
another woman.
"Our sister, Peace usually bring us water inside the hut
when our father and our mother had gone out". Esther said.
Their father, the kids said, used to reside in Akpabuyo, Cross
River State, Nigeria with the family where he sent them to a private
school, Regent Nursery and Primary School, Ikot Nkanda but when their
mother died and the man took another wife, Iquo, the story changed.
"My mother (stepmother), said the woman who used to live near
our house in Akpabuyo gave us food and she put something (witchcraft
spell) in the food and when we ate it we changed to bird at night and
took our fathers money to 'our master' in the witchcraft world". Elisha
who is a JSS one student of Regent said.

New study clears long-blamed ‘Patient Zero’ for cause of AIDS epidemic in America, says disease began to spread in 1970s New York
A giant AIDS ribbon hangs from the North Portico of the White House in Washington November 30, 2010, on the eve of World AIDS Day December 1.
(© Jason Reed / Reuters/REUTERS)Scientists have long suspected that HIV had been circulating in the United States for a decade before the first few AIDS cases were identified in Los Angeles 1981. The new study, published in the journal Nature, offers some of the first genetic proof.
"What we've done here is tried to get at the origins of the first cases of AIDS that were ever noticed," said Michael Worobey, the evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona who led the study.
Using a painstaking new approach, Worobey and colleagues pieced together the entire genetic sequence of the HIV virus from eight archived blood samples taken in 1978 and 1979 from gay and bisexual men participating in a hepatitis B study.
New York State on pace to end AIDS epidemic by 2020
The team traced genetic changes in the virus samples taken from male patients in New York and San Francisco. The researchers found that the HIV virus first jumped from the Caribbean to New York City around 1970, triggering the North American epidemic.
The team used the same approach to extract the full HIV genetic code from "Patient Zero," a flight attendant identified as Gaetan Dugas in the Randy Shilts 1987 bestseller "And the Band Played On."
Shilts, who wrote his book after Dugas had died, identified him as playing a key role in spreading the virus; media accounts painted him as a villain. The new study, however, found no biological evidence suggesting Dugas was the primary cause of the HIV epidemic in North America.
Dugas was first associated with the epidemic through a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that connected AIDS to sexual transmission of the disease in a cluster of 40 homosexual men.
‘Psycho’ actor Anthony Perkins dies from AIDS at 60 in 1992
In the study, Dugas was identified as "Patient O" because he was from outside of California, where the outbreak was believed to have started. That letter "O" was later mistaken for the number "0" and Dugas eventually became known as "Patient Zero," meaning the first patient infected in an epidemic.
"This individual was simply one of thousands infected before HIV was recognized," study co-author Richard McKay, a medical historian at the University of Cambridge, told reporters in a telephone briefing.
Worobey said the technique developed to extract and restore HIV genes from old blood samples borrows from technology used to identify ancient DNA.
Once they had the genetic code, the team evaluated the mutations made by the virus as it copied itself. This allowed the team to build an HIV family tree. Worobey believes a chimp first infected a human in Africa in the early 20th century. The virus that caused the U.S. epidemic emerged from Africa in the mid to late-1960s, and caused an outbreak in Haiti and other Caribbean countries.
Alexis Arquette died of complications from AIDS: report
In 1970 or 1971, this strain hopped from Haiti to New York, making the city a hub of transmission, Worobey said. The virus spread to a large number of people "many years before AIDS was noticed," he said.
The team believes the virus arrived in San Francisco in 1975. The first five cases of AIDS were identified in California 1981, and they were first attributed to HIV in 1984.
"Our analysis shows that the outbreaks in California that first caused people to ring the alarm bells and led to the discovery of AIDS were really just offshoots of the earlier outbreak in New York City," Worobey said.

“Released Chibok Girls Need Psychological Rehabilitation" – Pope Francis
Pope Francis who made this statement through his representative, President of Pontifical Mission Societies (Nigeria), Rev. Fr. George Ajana, during this year’s World Mission Sunday, at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Pro-Cathedral, Area 3, Abuja, said;
“The release of the 21 Chibok girls is victory, it is a very good sign and we are thanking God for it that some of the Chibok girls were released. Nigerians have been celebrating all this while, the church joins them in the celebration and we are one with them.
So, we first of all thank God that a few of them, just 21 were released. The Chibok girls need medical assistance; the government is doing that already. They have been taken to hospital. I think they will need psychological rehabilitation. The government need to bring in experts to stabilise them because they must have gone through a lot of trauma.
"I don’t think they will be their normal selves any longer. So, the Chibok girls need to be psychologically brought back to their real life. And we need to pray for them; the church will be very happy to do that. We keep praying for the release of the rest because they are human beings to be respected. The life of one person is as important as the lives of the whole nation, which must be respected."

Nigerians feel pride and despair on 56th Independence
Chukwumerije's poems convey nostalgia and a longing for the Nigeria he experienced in his childhood. They illustrate a sense of loss in indigenous, cultural pride, a sense that Nigeria - which at 180 million, is Africa's most populous nation, has lost its direction on the road to nation-building since its independence from the United Kingdom on October 1, 1960.

"Bring back the trees, bring back the river, bring back the clean and peaceful delta.
Bring back the night, the full-mooned night and the stories we told by candlelight …
Who brought us to this place of tears ... before the proof of faith was riches?
Bring back Islam before jihadists, before the proof of faith was murder.
Bring back our love for one another.
When neighbours checked on each other's children not plotted how to kidnap them …
No matter how fast your internet is, you can't replace this heritage …
Bring back that old morality that drew its pride from who we were and not from what we wore.
Bring back the days of heroes past ...
How did it ever come to this?
***
The event took place in the Nigerian capital of Abuja on the eve on Nigeria's 56 years of independence.
Today, on Nigeria's independence day, Nigerians reflect on what this day means to them.
