Like our people say, wonders shall never end. Two women in Bolivia have been arrested on human trafficking charges, after one sold her 6-week-old baby for $250 to another woman, who had placed an ad on Facebook saying she wanted to buy a baby. 

According to the a$$ociated Press quoting Bolivian officials, the seller was a 32-year-old $ex worker who could not determine the father of the child and wanted to recover the amount of child birth. 

The top child-protection official in the eastern city of Santa Cruz, Rosa Valencia said the buyer was an 18-year-old lady who went on to present the baby to a young man who just jilted her, telling him the baby was theirs. The man, who apparently did not believe her, called police. 

AP reported that the police were able to find and present as evidence the Facebook page on which the solicitation was made by the alleged buyer.

O.M.G!!! Stunning Russian lawmaker and husband blown up while having s*x in their car [See Photos]

 ,

A glamorous local Russian lawmaker and her husband - both semi-naked on the back seat of their Toyota RAV4 - died when a bomb exploded in the vehicle.

The couple had a four year daughter who was not in the car, and is safe, but is now left parentless. 

According to the Siberian Times ,Witnesses said the mangled bodies were in the rear seat of their car after the 10.50 pm explosion on Thursday, and that both were partially undressed when they were removed from the vehicle.  It was suggested that the couple may have been enjoying a romantic tryst in their parked car close to her workplace when the explosion occurred, but police were discounting this theory.


A law enforcement source said that judging by the severity of their injuries,the husband, Nikita himself may have unleashed the explosive, allegedly a grenade.
Other accounts suggested the explosives could have been planted inside or under the vehicle. There is no official confirmation of these versions. He had accused his wife of cheating, according to local reports which could not be verified. 

It was also claimed that their relationship had become strained because her husband Nikita Bobrovsky was out of work, leaving her as the sole breadwinner. She worked as a lawmaker and also as a deputy general director of Diskus Plus company, one of Novosibirsk city's largest construction firms.

Neighbours who rushed to the scene said that when the bodies were removed, both the deputy and her husband were 'naked below the belt'. 
Evgenia Romanova, an eyewitness, said:
 'First there was an explosion. The security alarms on neighbouring cars started to scream, and I joked to my husband that  the war with Turkey must have began.
'And then I looked out of the window and saw this all carnage. My husband went down to the street, and I looked through the window. It was horrific something you would not wish anyone to see. No heads, glass covered in blood... a nightmare.'
Vitaly Latypov, head of the investigation department of Oktyabrsky district, said a 'common grenade' caused the explosion. It 'broke all windows except the windshield, which was only slightly damaged'.

Another version studied by investigators is that the deputy's husband was the sole intended victim. 'We are checking all the versions, including this,' said a law enforcement source.
Among the claims is that he suspected his wife of an affair with a wealthy local businessman. Nikita had an 'explosive' character, it was claimed.
LifeNews claimed that biological material was found on the woman's body indicating that the couple had sex in the vehicle shortly before they died. The source told:
'Presumably, during the fierce conflict he began to force her to perform her conjugal duty by threats.' The car in which the couple died had been provided by her company boss, said a source.

Meet the mums who breastfeed each other’s children

 

Two young mothers have revealed how they breastfeed each other’s children – and are now calling on others to do the same.
Stefani Tatavitto and Chrystal Klein claim they can see nothing wrong in feeding the other mother’s children from their breasts and that it helps the youngsters grow.
Stefani, 23, regularly feeds both her own two-year-old son and her friend Chrystal’s, also 23, 19-month-old daughter while her pal works at a factory.
The friends, from Connecticut, USA, – who met on Facebook five years ago – started their unusual arrangement when Chrystal’s daughter, Ariana, was just ten months old.

However, the shared nursing does cause problems for Stefani’s son Gage, who lashes out in jealousy when Ariana nurses from his mum.
Neither women’s partners are fazed by the wet nursing and although Stefani nurses Ariana in public, passersby are oblivious to the fact that the child is not her own.
Stefani, who also has a four-year-old son, Noah, said:
“I don’t think it’s shocking to nurse another woman’s child – breastfeeding is natural.
“I think it helps Ariana, it keeps her calm and helps her when she’s teething. It’s a big comfort and helps keep her settled.If anyone has a problem with it I have not nice words to say to them.You drink breast milk from animals, it’s not that weird to drink breast milk from another human.”Because of Stefani wet nursing I don’t need to pump milk for my daughter or worry about her not having any milk.
“It also makes me feel better to know that my daughter still has that comfort even while I am away from her.”
“I don’t care what anyone else has to say – we do what’s best for our families.”
Now Stefani breastfeeds Ariana up to six times a week, but Chrystal insists she isn’t worried about her friend forming a stronger bond with a daughter than she has.
Stefani, who also has a four-year-old son, Noah, said:
“I don’t think it’s shocking to nurse another woman’s child – breastfeeding is natural.
“I think it helps Ariana, it keeps her calm and helps her when she’s teething. It’s a big comfort and helps keep her settled.
And despite the bond that comes with breastfeeding, Chrystal isn’t worried about Ariana becoming overly close to her friend.
Chrystal said:
“I am not worried about my daughter becoming too attached to Stefani.I believe my daughter realises that I’m mommy and Stefani is just offering her milk.Whenever we are both with her and she wants milk, typically she will ask me to nurse.I would say there are no drawbacks. I only see positive from this.”
So far Stefani and Chrystal haven’t received any criticism for their arrangement, but they realise that some will regard cross-feeding as controversial.
Chrystal said:
“My family and friends don’t know that much about our wet nursing arrangements.
“When it comes to breastfeeding though my family is supportive with every decision I make.

S/Korean Professor Who Forced His Student To Eat Feces, Drink Urine Bags 12-Years Prison Sentence

 

A university professor, who subjected one of his students to a two-year period of physical and psychological torture by making him eat human feces and drink urine, has been handed a 12-years’ prison sentence.

The three students, who aided him in this inhuman act, had lesser sentences as they were handed between three and six years jail terms.
The incident happened in South Korea.
The sentence was two years more than what prosecutors demanded, signifying how strongly the court viewed what it said were “unimaginable atrocities” committed by the 52-year-old professor, who was identified only by his surname, Jang.
According to the court, the crimes committed by Professor Jang amounted “to a sort of psychological murder”.
The professor, arrested in July after his victim – a design student now aged 29, attempted suicide to escape his ordeal, which began after Jang hired him to work for a non-profit organization.
The court heard how the professor, aided by the three other former students, who were joined in the suit as co-defendants, had subjected his former student to physical abuse using a baseball bat and other weapons.
In addition, the professor, aided by former students, forced a plastic bag over the victim’s face and filled it with pepper spray, after which he was fed human excrement.
In his testimony, the victim, whose name was not disclosed to protect his privacy, told police he had tolerated the abuse in anticipation that Jang would assist him in securing a full-time job as a college professor.
In its judgment Thursday, the court said “The accused trampled upon his victim’s human dignity”.

Nigerian Deported From The UK Narrates His Story

 ,
One of the Nigerians deported from the United Kingdom on November 25, Wednesday, has narrated his story to Detained Voices.

 The United Kingdom has deported 50 Nigerians after having committed different offenses while in the country. The deportees, made of 44 males and six females arrived into Nigeria aboard a chartered B767 aircraft belonging to PITAN Airways.

The federal government had recently expressed concern over the UK’s plan to deport some 29,000 of its nationals demanding that due process be followed before any Nigerian is sent back from the UK.

 Read the story below:

 “Basically, the charter flight is for today and they’re trying to get us on the flight. But here lies the problem.

 “We all know very well, according to the rules anyway, if they want to take us they have to get travel documents for all of us. But then they have already issued travel certificates for everybody without anybody actually signing for it.
How does that work?

 “Obviously there have been allegations this week against the home office and against the Nigerian embassy about, you know bribery, to make sure she issues travel documents for people without their knowledge, you understand what I mean.

 “According to the information we are getting, each person gets £3000. Basically, all of us have been sold to the British Government to do whatever they wants to do to us. We’ve been very calm. We’ve asked them can you get the home office to explain how they’ve got travel documents for us when we didn’t sign for it. Obviously that’s fraud because I haven’t signed for anything.

 “How are we supposed to follow the rules and regulation when those rules and regulations of the Home Office clearly doesn’t apply to them. They actually break the law on a regular basis. They bribe people on a regular basis.

 “Half of the people on the flight today have family here. They shouldn’t be going to Nigeria in the first place. I left Nigeria 17 years ago, right, I was 9 years old when I left Nigeria. I had only really lived in Nigeria for 6 years. And you are telling me it’s okay you can go back there. To where? My dad passed away last month. Who am I going back to?

 “Who am I going back to? My sisters here, my brothers here. My niece has very big health problems. She’s got heart issues. They’re in London. She needs help on a regular basis. My sister cannot handle it. We are just sat in the room basically. We are waiting for the officers to forcefully remove us. We are just in the room waiting. Because at the end of the day, they haven’t answered our questions.”

15 years ago when he tried to enrol at the Dire Dawa branch of the Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy. He was rejected, because at 1m 70cm (5ft 7ins) he was 1cm too short.


He told CNN
'I decided to build my own aircraft if I couldn't be a pilot. Then I'd be able to fly high in the sky,'

Five months ago, he failed to take-off in his machine,on November 28, Zeferu will return to the same air field and rev his newly-modified machine.
Taking off at 90 mph, he will aim to reach an altitude of 10 meters which is not no mean feat considering he has 'no parachute or anything to protect me.'To fly an aircraft is not a big deal,' he explains.The greatest danger will be in landing.'

Despite support from his family, he says:
 'the biggest challenge in building my aircraft was the people around me... people calling me mad. People were asking 'How can you build an aircraft in Ethiopia? In Africa?'''My dream is to become an aerospace engineer at NASA. And I will be,'

APC To Conduct Fresh Primary In Kogi

 ,

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that a fresh primary election will be conducted in Kogi state to pick a replacement for Abubakar Audu.

Audu, who passed away on Sunday, was the party’s candidate in the November 21 governorship election.

Speaking with reporters at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja on Tuesday, John Oyegun, chairman of the party, said the decision to hold a fresh primary was taken after the APC received a letter from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) asking it to replace Audu.

“It’s in the public space already, that the chief law officer of the republic has made his views know on how things should develop from this stage on,” he said.

“He has made a pronouncement to the effect that all that is required is for the APC to go through the processes of providing a substitute to our late candidate with the implication being that thereafter the supplementary elections to conclude the process of electing a new governor of Kogi state will began to be put in place so as a party we going to proceed with process organising primary to provide a substitute candidate, Abubakar Audu.

“We are going to go into executive session now, to know the nature of the primary.”

Audu’s death had sparked debate among lawyers and public commentators, with some suggesting that Abidoun Faleke, the deceased’s running mate, should be given the ticket of the party.

“Kogi situation fits more into section 181(1) of the 1999 constitution (as amended) and as such James Abiodun Faleke automatically becomes the governorship candidate of the APC. As a result the joint ticket of Audu/Faleke has acquired some votes already. James Abiodun Faleke is as much entitled to those votes already counted as much as the late Abubakar Audu. He has a right to cling to those votes going into the supplementary election,” Festus Keyamo, a notable Nigerian lawyer, had argued.

But with the new development all the controversies have been put to rest.

Though Oyegun did not disclose the date for the exercise, it is expected to be this week since INEC has scheduled the supplementary election for December 5.

INEC declared Saturday’s election inconclusive because the number of cancelled votes was higher than the margin between the two leading candidates.

Audu, who was leading the election, secured 240,867 votes, ahead of Idris Wada, incumbent governor and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 199,514 votes.

The difference between them was 41,353 votes, while a total of 49,953 votes were voided in the election as a result of irregularities.
