The former Islamic State member has told how he witnessed the killing a Japanese captive with Emwazi acting as the 'Big Boss'
A former member of Islamic State has claimed Jihadi John would stage mock executions to prepare his beheading victims by saying nothing would happen to them.
A man named only as Saleh told Sky News
the masked militant who appears in several beheading videos was a
senior figure in the extremist organisation responsible for murdering
foreign captives.
Hostages were routinely subjected to mock executions, with their
captors telling them they would not be killed as it was a show for the
camera, he claimed.
ISIS Defector: The former Islamic State member claims mock executions were staged of beheading victims
Saleh said: "He would say to me 'say to them, no problem, only video,
we don't kill you, we want from your government [to] stop attacking
Syria.
"We don't have any problem with you; you are only our visitors."
"So they don't worry. Always I say to them 'don't worry, doesn't
matter, nothing dangerous for you. But at the end I was sure [they would
die]."
Big Boss: The defector, known as Saleh, says Jihadi John was 'the big boss'
Jihadi John, who was recently unmasked as 26-year-old Londoner Mohammed Emwazi, was last seen in a video posted online which appeared to show Japanese hostage Kenji Goto lying dead.
Speaking to the broadcaster in broken English from Turkey, after
fleeing IS, Saleh claimed to have been there when Mr Goto was killed.
He said: "When he killed Kenji Goto I live showed this (saw this) but not near, from a little (distance).
"The big boss was there with them. Turkish man say 'put this camera there, change place there' but John (was) the big boss.
"All time, all time say to all 'fastly, fastly, fastly, we should finish'. So respect him. Only he talks orders - others do."
Appearing with his face covered, the man added Jihadi John won respect for murdering foreign prisoners.
He said: "Maybe because he use the knife. I cannot understand why he
is so strong. One man can kill and all people will respect. A Syrian man
anyone [in IS] can kill. But strangers [foreigners], only John."
Kuwait-born Emwazi had been pinpointed as a potential terrorist by
the British authorities but was nonetheless able to travel to Syria in
2013 and join a group responsible for the murder of several Western
hostages.

In email exchanges with a journalist, the University of Westminster
computer programming graduate said he considered suicide after coming
face to face with what he suspected to be a British spy as he attempted
to sell a laptop computer in 2010.
Jihadi John rose to notoriety after he first appeared in a video
posted online last August, in which he appeared to kill American
journalist James Foley.
His other victims include US journalist Steven Sotloff, British aid
workers David Haines and Alan Henning, and American aid worker Peter
Kassig.
The Colombian hitman is in the under-21 lineup for the clash with Tottenham, where Victor Valdes and Rafael both also feature
Watching brief: Falcao was left on the bench despite United needing a goal
Radamel Falcao was demoted to Manchester United Under-21s last night in the latest snub to the Colombia star.
Falcao, on loan at United this season from Monaco, was left on the bench on Monday as Louis van Gaal's side lost 2-1 to Arsenal at Old Trafford to exit the FA Cup.
Despite United needing to score an equaliser to stay in the
competition, Falcao remained on the bench, with Van Gaal bringing on
Michael Carrick, Phil Jones and Adnan Januzaj.
Falcao's ignominy was completed when he was named, along with fellow
stellar names Victor Valdes, Rafael and James Wilson in the Under-21
side to face Tottenham at Old Trafford.
United are almost certain not to take up the option to sign the
29-year-old permanently for £42m at the end of this season, with the
loan move having failed to come off.
Falcao, on £265,000-a-week, has scored just four times for United
this season and failed to finish his last five games for United, having
only returned from a serious knee injury last summer.
The former Manchester United striker netted the decisive
goal for Arsenal with many fans reacting in vile fashion on social media
Hero to zero: Several United fans turned on Welbeck online after his Old Trafford winner
Arsenal's FA Cup hero Danny Welbeck has received a string of terrifying death threats after scoring his Old Trafford winner last night.
The Manchester United reject slid the ball into an open net after leaving David de Gea stranded as he tried to reach a wayward Antonio Valencia back pass.
But after a goal celebration that sent the 9,000 travelling Arsenal fans into rapture, the striker was the target of a string of vile comments on social media.
Nolove said: “Danny Welbeck I will find you and I will kill you.”
Another added: “ Somebody just KILL Welbeck! Can't stand the a******! #RedOrDead#MUFC.” Manchester United v Arsenal: Best pictures
UtdMads wrote: “Welbeck you c*** celebrating. You are so DEAD to me! F****** JUDAS.”
Grande DeGea said: “Hey Welbeck, when you die, I will celebrate it in front of your family.”
Another so-called football fan added: “hope welbeck breaks his f****** leg and can't play ever again f****** judas c***.”
But many United fans clapped their former star when he was
substituted towards of the game by boss Arsene Wenger, who snapped him
up last summer after he was told by United manager Louis van Gaal, he
had no future at the club.
One added: "LVG didn't show him any respect by selling him why should he show us any?"
And
former players applauded his right to celebrate his goal. Liverpool
legend Jamie Carragher said: “Brilliant celebration from Welbeck none of
that respect Man Utd fans nonsense.”
Ex-Anfield star Jamie Redknapp added: “I just loved seeing
Danny Welbeck celebrate his goal. It is a load of tosh when a former
player doesn’t celebrate against his old team.
"Goal scoring is
why we play/watch/support — and it’s a while since Danny scored one!
United didn’t want to keep him, he left for Arsenal and here he was back
at Old Trafford scoring a predatory winner."
Former Cameroonian and Sampdoria of Italy's striker Samuel Eto'o has been named the the richest footballer from the African continent by Goal.
The
popular football website released its annual rich list and Samuel Eto'o
featured on number six at the global ranking making him the richest
African player.
He has an estimated earning of about $96m (£63.1m) making him the richest African footballer.
The second richest footballer according to the list is Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure, ($68m) who is number 15 on the global ranking.
The busty Italian tutor had posed for a string of raunchy
snaps but bosses decided to give her a second chance as the pictures
were from 15 years ago
Photo boob: Anita's raunchy pictures led to a string of complaints from parents
A teacher whose x-rated photos were exposed on the internet has been
told she can keep her job – because the pictures are "very old".
The raunchy snaps – taken 15 years-ago when the Italian woman was
still a student – show the busty brunette displaying her assets as she
poses seductively.
The tattooed secondary school tutor, named only as Anita, is seen wearing nothing but a skimpy pair of black undies.
In others she is peeling off a flimsy light green top.
Angry parents flooded the school in the northern Italian town of Treviso with complaints after students identified her when the pictures were unearthed online.
Off the hook: The teacher, named only as 'Anita', has been told she can keep her job
Outraged mum Clelia Cocci, 35, said: "I'm not happy that a woman who
gets her breasts out for porn photos is teaching my son. It is
disgusting and she should be fired."
Another parent, dad Arrigo Dellucci, 45, said: "It's not really porn,
but it is titillating. It doesn't set a good role model for young
people."
But school head Antonia Piva said: "This was an old episode and the
photos are very old. She is a great teacher and all her pupils have all
been very well-educated by her.
"There is no reason why she shouldn’t continue her good work."

Bahrami with photographs of herself before she was blinded by a man who
threw acid in her face
A man who threw acid into a man's face had his eye gouged out by the authorities under Iran's brutal justice system.
The prisoner, identified as Hamid, also had an ear cut off for an
alleged attack on Davoud Roushanaei, who was badly disfigured by the
attack.
The man was forcibly blinded in his left eye on March 3 after being
sentenced to qesas, or 'retribution-in-kind' for throwing acid into the
eyes of another man in the city of Qom in August 2009.
It is not known if doctors took out the eye or if the savage act was carried out by the victim - his right under qesas.
Iranian newspaper Hamshahri reported that the man had been hired by the relatives of his victim’s wife.
The blinding of his right eye was postponed until a later date. In
addition to this punishment he was ordered to pay “blood money” (diyah)
and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Hardline: Balal, who killed an Iranian youth Abdolah Hosseinzadeh in a street fight with a knife in 2007, as he faced execution
Meanwhile, the punishment of another Iranian man, who was sentenced
to being blinded and made deaf in a similar “retribution-in-kind”
punishment that was also due to be implemented on 3 March, has been
postponed until next month.
Amnesty International’s Iran Researcher Raha Bahreini said:
"Punishing someone by deliberately blinding them is an unspeakably cruel
and shocking act.
"This punishment exposes the utter brutality of Iran’s justice system and underlines the Iranian authorities’ shocking disregard for basic humanity.
"Meting out cruel and inhuman retribution punishments is not justice.
"Blinding, like stoning, amputation and flogging, is a form of
corporal punishment prohibited by international law. Such punishments
should not be carried out under any circumstances."
“The fact that in the weeks leading to their session before the UN
Human Rights Council the Iranian authorities have scheduled the
execution of child offender Saman Naseem, carried out the execution
of six Sunni men after grossly unfair trials, and now carried out this
macabre punishment - speaks volumes about the hollowness of Iran’s
rhetoric on reform and human rights.”
Iranian authorities are attempting to discourage acid attacks after a spate of assaults against women in the city of Isfahan
A Nigerian couple have been arrested and
charged to court for allegedly tricking two women into working as
prostitutes, using black magic to force them into complying.
The
couple 23-year-old Lizzy Idahosa and her husband 41-year-old Jackson
Omoruyi, were accused of trafficking their alleged victims aged 23 and
29 from Nigeria into Britain.
According to Daily Mail,
the victims were forced to eat snails and snakes in a black magic
ceremony before being sent to work in brothels and massage parlours.
A
jury at the Cardiff Crown Court heard the women were in fear of
'illness, madness, infertility or death' if they went against the
African witchcraft by refusing to have sex with strangers for money.
And all the money they made from prostitution, which came to more than £40,000, was pocketed by Idahosa and Omoruyi.
The prosecutor said: 'The couple were involved in the exploitation of two women brought into the UK from Nigeria to work as prostitutes.
'They
were bound to this by something called a juju ritual. It was a
ceremonial ritual used to full effect to terrify both women into doing
what was demanded of them.
'It
was used to ensure compliance, secrecy, and they believed if they broke
the bond dire consequences would follow: illness, madness, infertility
or death.
'They genuinely believed the powers would work.'
Reports
say Idahosa allegedly arranged for both women to travel from Nigeria -
forcing them to go through juju ceremonies before they left.
The woman, who got through border controls using fake documents, allegedly paid £45,550 to Idahosa and her husband Omoruyi.
The prosecutor added: 'She
was told it could be arranged for her to be brought to London but
before this could happen she had to attend a juju ceremony.
'Her hair was shaved, her body was marked and her clothes were taken. She had to eat a snail and an egg as well as some dust.
'She made oaths and promises and thought she would die or go mad if she broke the oaths she had made.'
The second woman was allegedly told she was going to find work in a shop with Idahosa in London.
She
was allowed into the UK after telling immigration officials she was a
lesbian and would be sacrificed if she didn't leave Nigeria.
But
the court heard that when she arrived in Britain, she was also made to
work in brothels and massage parlours up and down the country.
She claims she felt she had 'no choice' because she had taken part in a juju ceremony.
The prosecutor said: 'She
was taken to see the juju man, she was given dirty water and made to
eat a snake. Her body was marked, her pubic hair and brow hair was cut.
'She was told not to say anything - she believed the ritual was bonding upon her.'
The
women were found following an immigration raid on a massage parlour in
Cardiff, while Idahosa and Omoruyi were later arrested at their home in
Brockley, South London.
Idahosa denies denies
seven charges including trafficking for prostitution and moving criminal
property, while Jackson denies three charges charges of inciting the
women to become prostitutes and transferring criminal property.
Heavily
pregnant Idahosa, who has lived off benefits since 2011, claims she was
also trafficked to the UK following a juju ritual.
Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian prime minister has completed his community service term which he served for tax fraud.
The 78-year old has spent 4 hours a week with elderly dementia patients since May last year.
Speaking
on his time with the elderly, Berlusconi described the experience as
moving, stating that he would continue in his free time.
"The time spent with the sick, with the volunteers, with the health and social workers, has been a moving experience," he said.
The
three-time Italian leader however remains embroiled in several legal
battles as a court is due to review his acquittal for paying for sex
with an underage prostitute next week.
Berlusconi was once a cruise ship entertainer and had serenaded residents during his sentence
The National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has said that the regular use of painkillers especially, paracetamols could lead to heart attacks, stroke and early death, The Guardian reports.
According to a study published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases journal, patients prescribed high doses of the painkiller for long periods were 63% more likely to die unexpectedly.
There
is also a 68% higher chance of having a heart attack or stroke and an
almost 50% greater chance of having a stomach ulcer or bleed.
Generally,
Paracetamol is considered by doctors to be safer than Aspirin, which
can cause stomach bleeds, and ibuprofen, which has also been linked to
heart attacks and strokes.
But in 2013, NAFDAC and
the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had alerted
Nigerians that Paracetamol had been associated with risk of rare but
serious skin reactions known as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), and Acute Generalised Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) which can be fatal.
To
this end, NAFDAC encouraged patients to report such cases to their
health care provider, who will channel the complaint to the National Pharmacovigilance Centre, even
as British researchers say the risks may have been underestimated and
are calling for a major review to be conducted into the drug’s safety.
Meanwhile, Philip Conaghan
who led an extensive research conducted on patients who took
Paracetamol daily observing its effects advised that patients being
prescribed the drugs for long periods for arthritis or muscle and joint
pain should talk to their doctors about alternative treatments, such as
exercise.
An Indian man who was remanded in the Dimapur prison for allegedly raping a student, was lynched by an angry mob which defied all odds to break into the facility to kidnap him.
Taking
justice into their own hands, the gang overpowered the security at the
Central Jail,grabbed the man, strip him naked, drag him four miles and beat him to death while a crowd stood by filming the violent mob action.
The
rape suspect who was later identified as a 35-year-old used car dealer,
had allegedly raped a student from a local women's college multiple
times last month and was arrested the next day and charged to court.
According to Indian Express, the suspect died while being dragged through the streets as people beat and pelted him with stones.
The
horrific attack on the man, who had not been convicted of rape, comes
amid rising anger over the high rate of sexual violence in the country.
India has been the bedrock of violent rape with many women murdered in the process.
In
December 2012, a student and her friend coming back from a movie, was
lured into a bus. The attackers beat her friend and took turns raping
the woman. They penetrated her with a rod, leaving severe internal
injuries that caused her death.
She died a fortnight later after suffering terrible injuries to her abdomen, genitals and intestines.
Her death prompted mass protests and led to speedier trials and tougher penalties for rape.
A South African teen kidnapped as a newborn and reunited with her parents this month is “broken” after her ordeal, her father says.
Zephany Nurse, who is now 17, was seized from a Cape Town hospital in 1997.
Since then, she has been raised by the woman who allegedly abducted her, authorities say.
In a strange twist, she lived in the same city as her biological parents, who admit she’s having a hard time adjusting to her new reality.
“She’s broken, and we’ll fix it,” said her father, Morne Nurse.
The 50-year-old woman accused of kidnapping her was freed on bail Friday after the government agreed she’s not a flight risk. The suspect is not allowed to contact potential witnesses, including the teen.
“We are very concerned with the well-being of the young woman,” Social Services Minister Albert Fritz said. “She’s taking on her last year of schooling. She’s doing very well. She’s a strong, assertive young woman, and it’s clear she was brought up in a good home.”
Fritz said his department is approaching the case with “extreme” sensitivity.
“We are concerned with the well-being of everyone involved, the young woman, her biological parents,” he said, “but also can’t forget about the father who believed she was his daughter.”
The adult TV presenter reportedly liked the Manchester United man's "cute hair". Well, there's no accounting for taste…
PA / @roxannejeffers / Instagram
Marouane Fellaini has reportedly been ditched by his porn presenter girlfriend
Not so long ago, it would have been easy to feel sorry for Marouane Fellaini.
At one point last season, his struggles at Manchester United had turned the former Everton man into a national laughing stock.
True, it's difficult NOT to laugh at a man with hair like that - but still, we had some sympathy.
It
turns out that the big Belgian didn't need anyone feeling sorry for
him. Far from it: he was apparently dating Roxanne Jeffers at the time.
The key facts you need to know about Ms Jeffers:
1. She has been described as a "glamour girl", who has "presented" shows on "adult TV" channels.
2. She posts stuff on Instagram like this:
Like we said, if Louis van Gaal's walking Plan B was actually dating Roxanne for a year, we can only wonder… how? How did he end up with a lady like that?
The
relationship has reportedly come to an end now, with Roxanne giving him
the boot (ironic - it's normally Marouane giving other people the
elbow).
Sportwereld reports Roxanne has changed her Facebook relationship to single after just over a year together.
But as if this story wasn't bizarre enough already , one of her pals has supposedly claimed "she thinks his hair is very cute".
Red-emption: Suarez will return to Anfield for a special charity match
Some of the world's best players are set to descend on Anfield later this month for a special charity match.
Two 'All-Star' line-ups will face each other on Sunday March 29, with Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher as captains.
The event has been organised by Liverpool's official charity, the
Liverpool FC Foundation, and the proceeds will be help to fund community
programmes which benefit thousands of young people and adults
throughout the city.
Players already confirmed for the event include ex-Kop stars Luis Suarez, Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres.
Current Premier League players such as John Terry and Didier Drogba have also signed up to compete.
Back together: Torres, now back at Atletico Madrid, is set to return to Anfield for the charity game
Current Reds' first-team players who are not on international duty
will also play some part, as well as some of the Academy's brightest
stars.
Gerrard will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after agreeing a switch to the MLS with LA Galaxy.
Tickets for the event, priced at £20 adults and £5 juniors, are
initially on sale to Kop season ticket holders before going on general
sale.
The Italian was an unused substitute as Brendan Rodgers'
side kept up the heat on the top four with a 2-0 win at Anfield over the
Premier League strugglers
Out of favour: Balotelli has been back on the Reds' bench lately
Mario Balotelli posted a cryptic Instagram message after Liverpool's victory over Burnley last night.
The
Italian striker said "someone doesn't like me" on the photo sharing
site, after he was left on the bench for the duration of the game, with
Brendan Rodgers preferring Daniel Sturridge as a lone striker.
The Reds didn't need their maverick forward, after goals from Jordan Henderson and Sturridge saw them to a comfortable 2-0 win.
Balotelli
wrote: "Someone doesn't like me but differently of what they say about
me I'm a team player and I'm so proud of my team, of this win and of
these fans! Let's keep going. Bravi Ragazzi!!! YNWA !!!"
He has scored just one Premier League goal for Liverpool since joining the club at the start of the season for £16million from AC Milan and only four in all competitions.
It was the third Premier League match running that the Italian has
been left with a watching brief and he hasn't started a league game
since November 1, in the 1-0 defeat at Newcastle.
The Frenchman fell to the floor shortly into the clash with
Tottenham at White Hart Lane before being stretchered from the field
five minutes later
Bafetimbi Gomis has insisted he is "back in order" after his sickening collapse last night.
The 29-year-old Swansea striker slumped to the ground at White Hart Lane with no-one near him after just six minutes. His fall came as his team-mates prepared to restart the match after Nacer Chadli had given Spurs the lead.
The entire stadium was plunged into silence by the scenes which were
frighteningly reminiscent of Fabrice Muamba’s near-fatal cardiac arrest
on the same pitch three years ago this month.
Both sets of medical staff came rushing onto the pitch to attend to
stricken Gomis while the horrified Spurs and Swansea players looked on
in despair.
But Gomis
was able to acknowledge the applause of the fans as he was stretchered
off and was up and talking in Tottenham's medical room during the second
half.
As reported by Mirror Football last night, the former Lyon marksman actually wanted to continue playing.
He tweeted in English after the match: “I wanted to reassure you
concerning my health, it actually looks much more scary than physically
dangerous and I am feeling well now.
“I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my
father’s health that requires me to go back and forth to France.”
"I was disappointed that I couldn't help my team tonight but now
everything is back In order. I also want to thank everyone for their
support and get well messages."
Gomis was taken to hospital midway through the second half of last
night's match, which Spurs won 3-2. The club were set to have him picked
up on their journey home.
But Swansea boss Garry Monk and other members of the club’s staff maintained the frontman was “fine” and that the incident looked worse than it really was.
Muamba had lay dying on the pitch on March 17, 2012. It was the skill
and expertise of the medical staff on the scene at the time that saved
his life.
Swansea were more relaxed last night about Gomis' situation. The
striker is understood to suffer from vasovagal — a medical condition
that can lead to fainting when his blood pressure drops.
The condition occurs when the body overreacts to certain triggers,
such as physical or emotional distress. This can then cause a sudden
drop in heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces the blood flow to
the brain. A brief loss of consciousness can follow.
Gomis has fainted on several previous occasions at his former clubs St Etienne and Lyon.
"He is fine," said a Swansea spokesperson. "‘He is in the medical
room. It is something we have been aware of — it is something called a
vasovagal condition.
"We have always been aware of it and it has happened before. He has had all the medical and cardiology tests with us."
Swansea boss Garry Monk said: "Obviously with the history at this ground it’s a bit of panic.
"But coming off the pitch, he was fine. He was talking and he
actually wanted to stay on the pitch. It’s something that we’re well
aware of and it’s part of his history.
"He’s had every single medical check that you can possibly have, and he’s fine. It’s just part of his life."
What is a vasovagal condition?
A certain trigger can cause blood pressure to drop which in turn
leads to a reduced flow to the brain. A brief loss of consciousness can
follow.
Vasovagal syncope, as it's known, is usually relatively harmless apart from any additional injury caused in any fall.
What can cause it?
Physical and emotional stress are the most common causes. Others include extremely high temperatures or standing up quickly.
Gomis pointed to the "stress and fatigue" of his father's illness and constant travelling to and from France.
Has it happened to Gomis before?
Gomis has lived with the condition all his life and Garry Monk
confirmed afterwards it is something the club were aware of before last
night's incident.
Gomis has fainted on several previous occasions at his former clubs St Etienne and Lyon
Can anything be done about it?
While there is no specific cure as such treatments include removing or minimising the exposure to causes or triggers.
Certain medications that lower blood pressure are sometimes
prescribed while a number of varying therapy techniques are also
utilised.

Aderonke Apata has been denied the rights to same-sex marriage by the UK Home Office.
(Facebook)
The London Home Office has once again threw the spanner into the works of Nigerian renowned lesbian and gay-rights activist, Aderonke Apata, to get a permanent stay in the UK because she has not always been a lesbian.
The
Home Office argue that Apata cannot be a lesbian after she’s been in
multiple heterosexual relationships which resulted in the birth of her
children.
The 46 year old lady who said she fled
Nigeria to the UK in 2004, has been locked in a running battle with the
Home Office seeking a permanent stay.
According to
her, her country people had marked her to be killed when she came out
with her status as a lesbian and wanted to be given an asylum so that
she can get married to her partner, Happiness Agboro.
But
the the Home Office Secretary's lawyer, Andrew Bird, argued that Apata
was not part of the select group classified as 'true lesbians' because
she had indulged in sex with men which resulted in her having biological
children before she decided she wanted to be a lesbian.
He said:
"You can’t be a heterosexual one day and a lesbian the next day. Just as you can’t change your race."
Apata was in the court with her 'wife-to-be', Agboro.
During the hearing, she said:
"The Home Office has treated me badly from day one. Staying in Britain means
staying safe, staying with my partner and continuing my campaigning."
Who says even mad people do not fall in love?
That is far from the truth. People with insanity also fall in love as
witnessed by these two mentally deranged heart-throbs showing their affection in public in Calabar, Cross River State.
Those who have been seeing these two 'playing love' say the man is so possessive of his woman and does not joke with her at all.
He is said to show his affection for her any where the fancy catches him.
Lara Stone left her husband, David Walliams on Tuesday night [March 3], taking along her 22-month-old son, Alfred and their dog,
David Walliams and Lara Stone pictured together on their wedding day at Claridges
The supermodel who featured with Justin Bieber in the raunchy Calvin Klein ad in January is no more married!
Lara Stone reportedly left her husband, David Walliams on Tuesday night [March 3], taking along her 22-month-old son, Alfred and their dog, Bert.
Despite the fact that she hasn't explained the reason behind her move, many believe it has everything [or not] to do with the semi nude photos she made with C.K.
Another set of pictures of Lara were also released by i-D magazine, after the CK set, with the supermodel fully naked with 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' actor, Jamie Dornan.
However, sources close to the couple tell MailOnline that Walliams, 43, is "devastated" that his wife left their North London home and is hoping against hope for a reconciliation.
Another source claims Lara has had enough of her husband (who is also a judge on X Factor USA) and there's no possibility of a reconciliation.
An associate of Walliams, who has often spoken of his struggles with depression and suicidal impulses, told me:
"There have been big problems with the marriage for longer than you might think. Certainly, I was aware of the schism around six weeks ago. He didn’t broadcast it, but his friends were made aware that they were in a difficult place, that the marriage was in trouble. He is very sad about it but has been putting on a professional front."
– A-72-year-old landlady, Bamidele Ogboro, who allegedly stole her tenant’s N500,000 and unlawfully ejected him out of her house was arraigned on Wednesday in Lagos.
Ogboro, a resident of No. 6, Shopeju St., Shogunle, Lagos State is being tried for breach of peace, conspiracy and stealing at an Oshodi Magistrates’ Court.
The prosecutor, Cpl. Kehinde Olatunde, told the court that the accused committed the offences on March 2 at her residence.
Olatunde said that the accused and others still at large unlawfully ejected one Mr Ejikeme Hypolite, by throwing out his property from his rented apartment.
“The accused hired five men to damage the complainant’s door so as to gain entrance into his room.
“The accused threw the complainant’s property outside from his apartment and locked it up.”
Olatunde said that the complainant who went on a two-day trip returned to meet his property scattered outside the house and discovered that his N500,000 and documents had been stolen.
“The complainant said that the missing N500,000 was the house rent amount he had earlier given to his landlord which she rejected then.
“Other documents include: his primary school leaving certificate and his university certificate.”
The prosecutor said that the accused took the law into her hand after she had insisted that the complainant must pack out of her house and rejected his rent money.
He said that the offences contravened Sections 166, 285 and 410 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Section 285 prescribes a three- year jail term for offenders.
The accused pleaded innocent to the offences and was granted bail in the sum of N50, 000 with one surety in like sum.
The magistrate, Mr Akeem Fashola, adjourned the case to March 10 for mention.
— Security agents were last night working frantically to track the whereabouts of a son of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Muhammadu Lawal Uwais who was said to have joined the deadly Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The 41-year old son of the former CJN left home about a month ago with his two wives and has not been seen since.

One of the wives a school principal, and the other also a school administrator both left with their husband without telling their parents.
Vanguard gathered that one of the wives reportedly told her parents she was going to Dubai for two weeks with her husband. Neither the former CJN nor the parents of one of the wives has heard from them since.
Contacted for his comments, the jurist told Vanguard he had no comments to make on the development.
In a telephone conversation with Vanguard in Abuja, the respected jurist, who was Nigeria’s Chief Justice between 1995 and 2006, neither confirmed nor denied the report published by a United States online medium, The Will, on March 4, 2015.
Reminded that the report had already gone viral, Uwais, who also spearheaded Nigeria’s electoral reforms, said that he had no comment on the matter.
“I don’t want to comment on hearsay,” the former CJN said.
The San Francisco-based news medium had reported that the son of the retired judge, whose name it did not disclose, had joined ISIS after moving from Nigeria with his two wives and children in order to help fight alongside ISIS, which presently controls large territories in Iraq, Syria and Libya.
The medium said that the intelligence report came from Saudi Arabia, one of the over 50 countries alongside the United Nations that has designated ISIS as a terrorist organization.
If proven to be true, this would be the second time a member of a Nigerian elitist family would be linked to a foreign terrorist group.
The first was the notorious underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a member of Al-Qaeda, who is presently serving a life sentence without parole in the United States, who is the youngest son of Katsina-born Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a wealthy Nigerian banker and businessman, who had also served as a federal minister in the 70s.
Sources said that Justice Uwais had been told about the development.
The Nigerian military and its West African allies are presently pre-occupied with defeating the Boko Haram, a Nigerian terrorist group responsible for thousands of brutal killings and deadly bombings in northern Nigeria and border towns in Cameroon and Chad.
Woman defends sending £900,000 to lover in Africa she never met
She’s never met her African lover, yet this woman has spent $1.4million (£900,000) on him.
And she has no regrets.
Sarah, who has divorced twice, met Chris Olsen 18 months ago online and the pair have spoken for hours over the phone every day.
In that time he has repeatedly asked her for money and, despite his
accent changing over that time, she is ’95 per cent certain’ that he’s
the real deal.
He’s even tried getting to the U.S. several times, she says, but each time gets arrested on false charges, Sarah told Dr Phil
He told her that he was from Milan and works in South Africa on business. But he’s also said he’s working in Nigeria and Benin.
She said: ‘An attractive person came on there and said “wow you look
like you wouldn’t hurt a fly”. I said “wow this guy’s really handsome, I
can’t believe he’s talking to me!”.’
Sarah has paid for hotel bills, lawyers, stolen credit cards and $550,000 (£360,000) on bail.
Her justification? ‘I believe Chris does consider me his wife.’
She added: ‘I have questioned several times whether or not this is a
scam. I am 95 per cent certain that Chris is telling me the truth. That
this is legit.’
Sarah turned to Dr Phil to help unite them.
