A fuel tanker crushed a commercial motorcyclist, simply identified as Kayode, to death, at Oma Junction, Alagbaka area of Akure, Ondo State capital on Friday.
 
The incident happened when the fuel tanker which was heading towards Yeoma Plaza was stopped by the traffic warden on duty. The tanker driver lost control of the vehicle and rammed into the motorcyclist who was approaching the junction, killing him on the spot. 
 
"The tanker was stopped by the traffic warden but the driver claimed he lost control of the vehicle and rammed to the bike man and crushed him. The tanker first dragged the cyclist forward and eventually crushed him before stopping. We tried to rescue him but it was too late because the vehicle was on him.”

The younger brother of the deceased escaped unhurt from the accident but lamented that Kayode got married a couple of weeks ag,  while his wife is pregnant.
Angry Okada riders, however, besieged the scene of the accident and descended on the driver of the vehicle. He was quickly rescued by some security operatives who took him away.

American rapper DMX gets lighter sentence after his lawyer played his song in court to sway judge during sentencing

                                  Apparently, rapper DMX got a lighter sentence after a judge heard his rap song in court. During the rapper's recent sentencing, his attorney played the judge "Slipping" an old rap song by DMX and it is believed this helped reduce his sentencing from a possible 5 years in jail to only 365 days. Below is how Boston 25 is reporting it: "A judge heard a DMX rap song before adding his own lyrics to a court proceeding on Wednesday, ordering the rapper imprisoned for a year in a tax fraud case. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff took requests, accommodating DMX's desire to hear his autobiographical hit "Slippin'" before DMX faced the music over his admission of guilt. The judge called DMX's fraud a "brazen and blatant" crime that could not go unpunished. The 47-year-old rapper, known to law enforcement and the courts as Earl Simmons, has been incarcerated since...

Cunning man tricks woman into having sex by saying he'd been poisoned and needed to "sweat it out" or he'd die

                A 24-year-old man tricked a woman into having sex with him by telling her he had been poisoned and the only way he would survive is if he sweated it out. Police reports said the man, from Rotorua, New Zealand, went to the victim's house "red faced and bent over holding his ribs". They said he told the woman he had been beaten up and was forced to drink a poisonous liquid. He told her there was no antidote and he would die within 48 hours if he did not sweat it out and the woman suggested he should go for a run. But he told the woman that going for a run would not work as he would need to sweat in a "particular way". He also claimed the person who poisoned him was flying overseas and the only remedy was for him to have sex and sweat it out.  Shortly after the encounter, the woman started getting emails from an unknown sender verifying the man's story. The messages told her she w...
