Pandemonium as truck crushes two in Delta Community

Pandemonium as Truck crushes two in Delta Community
There was pandemonium in the university town of Abraka, Ethiope East council area of Delta state Friday when an angry mob took over the Abraka-Agbor Road in protest of the killing of two boys by a truck.
A truck, which had lost control of its brakes, rammed into two teenagers from Orhia-Abraka, whose identities could not be ascertained, when the driver of the vehicle veered off the road.
The sight of the mess made of the corpses by the truck triggered the angry reaction from members of the community, who went berserk, more especially as the driver of the truck had taken to his heels, abandoning the vehicle at the scene.

A community source who relayed the development to the Nation in Warri on Friday said the angry mod went after every passing vehicle along the busy expressway, attacking drivers and leaving hundreds of travelers stranded while the melee lasted.
“The sight was ugly; those boys were smashed beyond recognition and to make matters worse, the driver of the truck bolted before people could gather. The community boys were incensed by the sight of the corpses of the boys and they started attacking other vehicles traveling along the road around that time.

“Policemen from the Abraka Division came, but they left the first time because they said they didn’t have a vehicle to evacuate the corpses with, but they later returned to park the body parts”, the source who did not want to be named explained.
When reached for confirmation and details, the spokesman of the Delta state police command, Andrew Aniamaka (DSP), said the Abraka Police Division had brought the situation under control, adding that investigation was on.
“The DPO has calmed the area because he was personally on ground. Normalcy has returned to the area. As for the lorry and whoever did whatever, the Police will ensure justice is done on the matter,” he said.

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...
