News: Why na? Chris Brown flown to DC with other prisoners in Con Air
completely down. Chris Brown's legal team's last
ditch effort to transport him personally to
Washington D.C. for his misdemeanor assault trial
has been denied and Chris is headed to D.C. on
Con Air...a prisoner aircraft...with other criminals
TMZ reports...
Chris Brown has just been picked up by federal
marshals on what will be one of the longest
journeys across the country since the prop plane
era ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the case tell us Chris is
on his way to a federal holding facility in San
Bernardino to begin his long trip to Washington
D.C. where he will stand trial for assault.
Later today Chris will board a airplane -- guarded
by U.S. Marshals and appropriately restrained --
but the flight is NOT a non-stop. In fact, we're
told there are so many stops he probably won't
get there until Sunday.
Continue...
We're told all of these flights go through
Oklahoma, with stops along the way to pick up
other prisoners.
Chris will be in D.C. for a hearing Monday where
his lawyer, Mark Geragos, will try to get the
charges dismissed because he believes
prosecutors inappropriately used the grand jury to
gain an unfair advantage in the criminal case.
Now here's the thing. If Geragos loses, Chris will
sit in a D.C. jail facility until his D.C. trial kicks off
on April 17.
Gist: Beyonce's little brother headed to a homeless shelter
support order for his 3 year-old son Nixon slashed
from $12,000 a month to $2,400 a month, his
baby mama, Alexandra, says she and the boy are
headed to a homeless shelter. Because of the
slash, Matthew Knowles won't have make child
support payments the next two years after a court
ruled that the $12k he paid for the last three years
means he's paid in full until nearly 2016.
Now Nixon's mother says Beyonce hasn't lifted a
finger to help. Alexsandra tells In Touch Magazine
"I can't imagine how Beyoncé feels knowing
she has a homeless brother. I know if I were in
the same position, I would reach out. Maybe
she is too busy."
"Nixon deserves to know his family, and I hope
one day he will meet his sister"
Why not get a job instead of going to a homeless
shelter? There are lots of single mums out there
getting things done and giving their kids quality
life. So if Beyonce wasn't his step sister, nko?
News: Court orders Financial Reporting Council to stop investigating Sanusi
Lagos, today April 4th ordered the Financial
Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN) to stop any
further investigations it is currently carrying out on
the suspended CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido.
The Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria had
leveled allegations of financial recklessness and
abuse of office on Sanusi and recommended his
suspension which was effected on February 20.
The council in its presentation to the president
said they found Mr Sanusi's report on the audited
financial statement of the CBN for the year ended
Dec. 2012 and other related issues unsatisfactory.
Upon his Suspension, Mr Sanusi was invited to a
panel set up by the council at Elephant House
Ikeja Lagos for questioning on March 27th but
failed to turn up. Reports say Sanusi felt the panel
was bias and was set out to rubbish his person. He
filed a suit that same day asking the court to stop
the FRCN from investigating him as it lacked the
constitutional power to investigate him. His
request was granted by a judge today.

SHOCKING: 2nd Ritualists’ Den gets Discovered in Ogun State, Pregnant Women, Kids Rescued.
According to eyewitnesses, one of the victims held in the den, a pregnant lady, had on Wednesday night escaped.
The victim ran into a house located about 200 meters away from the den and pleaded
with the occupants to save her from her assailants.
The pregnant lady, who reportedly claimed to have
hailed from Abia State, told the occupants of the residence that her elder sister sold her and her
unborn baby to the ritualists for N100,000.
It was also gathered that the lady, who had just spent three
days in the den, said that the ritualists told her that she would not leave until she was delivered of her baby for whom her aunty had been paid.
The shocking revelation,however, compelled the occupants to inform the police, who eventually raided the premises around 11p.m and rescued three pregnant women and three young children, aged between two and four years, from the den.
As the news broke, hundreds of angry youth, suspected to be students from the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, MAPOLY, Ojere, Abeokuta, invaded the
building and searched some of the rooms, which were already padlocked by security agencies.
The youths were said to be looking for a cooler and a 20-
litre jerry can allegedly filled with fresh human blood.
After a thorough search of the building, the youth emerged with ritual items, including an ivory plate containing fresh blood, coffin, effigy, scorpion, charms and others.
Also discovered were international e-passport, identity cards of junior and senior secondary school students of Sacred Heart Catholic College, Oke -Ilewo, Abeokuta, who some
people said might have been kidnapped and killed by the suspected ritualists.
Several male and female white garments of worshippers suspected to have fallen victims while going or returning from vigil were also recovered.
After which the youth angrily set the building and two vehicles parked within the premises – a Toyota Camry car marked (Lagos) EKY 942 AJ and a
Mitsubushi car marked (Lagos) AGL 971 BH ablaze.
It took the intervention of the Ogun State Fire Service
personnel who raced to the scene in two vehicles to put out the fire. Scores of fierce-looking policemen who had been watching the angry youths summoned courage and started firing life ammunition and
canisters at the youths to disperse them.
Some of the youths were also arrested and whisked away to the police headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
The Police Deputy Public Relations Officer, Abimbola
Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident, adding that two victims were rescued from the den.
He said two others were also arrested in connection with the
operation of the house of horror.
Oyeyemi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, gave
the names of the rescued victims as Jennifer Goodluck, who is still nursing a two-month-old
baby, while the heavily pregnant victim was simply
identified as Oluchi, both indigenes of Abia State.
The police spokesman also explained that one Muibat
Yusuf and her brother, both indigenes of Kwara State, were arrested.
He said the matter had been transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Eleweran,
for thorough investigation. The Commissioner of
Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, who later visited the
scene, however, urged members of the public to be
watchful of happenings around them, particularly
their neighbours.
