Four dead, nine injured after driver plunges truck off San Diego bridge.

Four people were killed and nine others were injured Saturday when a suspected drunk driver lost control of his pickup truck, plunged off the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, and plowed into a crowd gathered at a festival below, authorities said.

The California Highway Patrol said the driver, 25-year-old Richard Anthony Sepolio, struck a guardrail and fell 60 feet before landing on a vendor booth set up for a motorcycle festival in Chicano Park. Sepolio was taken to the hospital with major injuries and will be arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence causing deaths and injuries, California Highway Patrol Officer Jake Sanchez said.

Authorities said Sepolio is an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy stationed at a base in Coronado Island, across a bay from San Diego.

The names of the deceased victims were not immediately released, but authorities identified them as a 62-year-old man and 50-year-old woman from Chandler, Ariz., and a 59-year-old man and 49-year-old woman from Hacienda Heights, a suburb east of Los Angeles. Witnesses said all four victims were in the vendor booth that was crushed by the truck.

Kidnappers, caught and stripped at Epe/Itokin road and a beautiful lady happened to be amongst... (explicit pics).

This was sent to me on whatsapp though... Some alleged kidnappers in the Epe area of Lagos were caught just as they were trying to get away with their crime yesterday.
it was alleged that the criminals consisting of one female and two men were apprehended by residents and stripped naked.

Some of the people suggested setting the kidnappers on fire although it was not known if this threat was carried out as at the time of the report.

In a related development, kidnappers from Delta and Enugu have been arrested in Calabar, Cross River state during a kidnapping operation.
In a post and photos shared by APC TV via its social media page, it reported that residents apprehended the kidnappers after they had taken a victim.

The kidnappers were stripped and possibly beaten while their vehicle was also destroyed.
Nigerians reacted to the incidents with some noting that human ritual was usually on the rise towards the end of the year.

Some however criticised the stripping of the suspected kidnapp…

FUTA: Burial of the Deceased Futarian... May God forgive her short comings.

I planned not to broadcast this as I got it yesterday, but I changed my mind... this is not to entertain you but to talk words into your heart.
Futarians lost Funmilayo Talabi yesterday and her burial section held accordingly, am not here this time to confirm what killed her or tell you the Gist you are expecting to read but make you realize some fact about the bases of life.

People die everyday like you already know, but it's in fact a dilemma that we don't appreciate our existence on mother earth. No human writes his/her own death wish except those who commit suicides, so you never can tell whose turn it is whether yours or mine... don't say God forbid because it's fact.

The little I knew about her shocked me as people said more good and wonderful things about her... so what are you? What will people say about your legacy when you are gone? what will the angels report about you? Good or bad, it's left for you to decide... be your self don't be somebody else …

Fire in FUTA as VC's car hit library staff on attempt to escape Mob attack.

Well this incident happened this morning in futa and a lot of stories have been trending about what happened, let's give you the different stories.
First I heard JAC wanted to burn the VC and his driver alive in his car as they were stopped upon entering school, in an act of self defence by the driver to escape, the VC's driver hit a female library staff but and she is currently in the hospital now.
Another source tells us the protesters are already being unreasonable, that they were the one that attacked the VC in his car, trying to break his windscreen and wound him, then the driver hit a library staff on an attempt to escape and save the situation.... unfortunately things went wrong.

So I can conclude from the reports that the VC was attacked and on an attempt to save his life for another day, the driver accidentally hit a staff who is currently receiving treatments in the clinic. And policemen have started to Savage all blocked roads. More pics below.

Video & pics: Futa Dean of students' affairs, FUTASUG President, other union leaders arrested and beaten to pulp by armed policemen.

I was just informed that some armed policemen stormed the Students' affairs division of the Federal University of Technology, Akure this morning to arrest the Dean of student, Prof. Alese, the SUG president, Comrade. Solar and other union leaders.
In the video above you would see the SUG president in a milky brown jalab, as he was followed into the van with rounds of slaps... very unfair.
Reasons for this are still yet affirmed but we think it's due to the action of the Dean and SUG president's recent move (creating a new portal for students registration) in ensuring that futarians resume January 3rd, which is very much against what JAC want... which is the removal of the VC or futa activities die.

From what I saw, the futasug and other Union leaders arrest was framed up... an eye witness said:
"The student affairs office was locked after the new site was created, to cripple the resumption process, on hearing this the Dean of students affairs (prof Alese), ordered the…

FUTA: Prof. Alese Writes Enumero of the incident as JAC Made his Birthday Pullus.

Following the incident in futa this morning, of the arrest of the Dean of student, Prof. Alese, the SUG president, Comrade Solar and other SUG leaders, I received a report statement allegedly written by Prof. Alese on an alumni group.
The Statement gave enumero(details) of the incident... it reads thus:
"I would I have misled you, I was supposed to meet with the leadership of ASUUCoop by 11am this morning at ASUU secretariat to discuss the MOU of the ASUUCOOP hostel. I already invited the students in office for 10.30am to take their input to the meeting and explain the new registration portal to them.

Along the line I was told that my office was padlocked by JAC. I called the Sherrif Deputy to send security and I got a Carpentar to join them to open it. The carpenter came and the students were there for the meeting. As I was coming I branched at the secretariat jus to tell the president that that I would be a bit late.

On getting to the secretariat, I got a distress call that that …

Paul Scholes Slams Marouane Fellaini.

Paul Scholes statement on Fellaini:"Sir Alex won't have him anywhere near Old Trafford. Not even as a steward sweeping the car park. Yet Van Gaal and Now Mourinho keep picking him. He keeps turning up like a bad smell, like a fart in the lift. He cant pass, Can't dribble, Can't shoot. He is slower than a tortoise going backwards."       I think that's much right??... Lolz.
