Panic in court as police tender live python as exhibit

Naija palava!!!

In a trial for fraud and stealing at the Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court in Lagos, an investigating police officer tendered a live python as an exhibit causing pandemonium as lawyers, litigants and policemen took to their heels on sighting the snake.

Naturally, the prosecutor, Oladejo Balogun refused to accept the snake as an exhibit.

Making an oral application asking the court to order the police to return it to their custody till the next adjourned date; the prosecutor said he had no place to keep the snake and had no idea what he was supposed to feed the snake.

The police in turn said that they were tired of keeping the snake since the arrest of the suspects last Saturday and asked the court to accept and keep it as an exhibit.

Apparently in an attempt to defraud the complainant one Alhaji Jelili Kuku, two suspected fraudsters, Kayode Oseni, 42 and Jamiu Adeyemi, 37 allegedly planted the snake in the house of the complainant.

The defendants had gone to Kuku’s house at 14, Foursquare Street, Ikotun, Lagos and planted the snake on the pretext that he was under the influence of some demonic spirits inside the house (represented by the snake they were trying to plant) and they would need to pray and buy a ram to be sacrificed which they claimed would save his life. They had already extorted N40,000 from him as the price of the ram.

However, they were unlucky as Kuku saw them while they were planting the snake and invited the police who arrested them.

This is really weird you know!!!

Carlos Tevez issues unreserved apology to everybody at Manchester City

Carlos Tevez has issued an unreserved apology "to everybody I have let down" at Manchester City following his five-month battle with the club and declared his hope that Roberto Mancini will now allow him to return to action.
The striker had a dramatic fallout with his manager after refusing to warm-up during a Champions League group game at Bayern Munich on 27 September and then went awol, returning to his homeland in Argentina without permission for three months. Although Mancini is yet to see Tevez since the latter returned to the club last week, the manager is said to be at ease with the development.
Tevez said: "I wish to apologise sincerely and unreservedly to everybody I have let down and to whom my actions over the last few months have caused offence. My wish is to concentrate on playing football for Manchester City."
It is understood that Tevez, who has been training in the afternoons away from the first-team squad as he regains fitness, met the director of football, Brian Marwood, at the club's Carrington complex and other members of staff on Tuesday afternoon. Mancini had already left when Tevez arrived at around 3.30pm for the session, that included a two-hour work-out before gym work, but was kept fully informed.
Earlier in the day, the manager had been asked about Tevez before Wednesday evening's Europa League last-32 second leg with Porto at the Etihad Stadium but, unaware that the striker was about to apologise, he refused to talk about the subject, saying: "We have another three months to talk about Carlos Tevez."
With Tevez's apology being unreserved and unconditional, the next issue is whether Mancini will consider selecting him as he seeks to guide City to a first championship since 1968. Immediately after the incident at Bayern the Italian declared Tevez as "finished" at City and on Monday last week, on the day before his return, Tevez gave an interview in which he accused the Italian of treating him "like a dog".
With Tevez also announcing he has withdrawn his appeal to the Premier League for the £1.2m fine – approximately six weeks' wages – for his decision to fly to Argentina, it remains to be decided whether the club will fine him for the outburst last week. If so, Tevez can expect to forfeit two weeks' wages, amounting to £400,000.
