Murdering Wife In US Used Black Magic And Cheated On Husband, According To Her Sister

Temitope began scaring her sister when she
first started experimenting with juju. Her
sister told SaharaTV “I noticed about two
and a half years ago that she’s been
practicing black magic. I was really scared
when I saw some [fetish] items in her
wardrobe. I even called my pastor in Nigeria
and he told me to pray.

SaharaTV spoke exclusively with the sister of Temitope
Adebamiro during its May 2nd television broadcast.
Temitope’s sister, who spoke with SaharaTV on the
condition that her identity was not disclosed, revealed that
Temitope was not as much of a victim as local media in the
United States has made her out to be.
Temitope, a Nigerian national, was arrested last week in
Delaware on first-degree murder charges for allegedly
slashing her husband’s throat. Her husband, Adeyinka
Adebamiro, is also a Nigerian national, though he has lived
most of his life in the United States.
Temitope’s sister told SaharaTV correspondent Fatima
Sesay that she did not approve of Temitope’s lifestyle
choices, citing that she refused to attend church and
smoked a lot of marijuana. Temitope, according to her
sister, enjoyed a partying lifestyle and would consume a lot
of alcohol.
When challenged that Temitope’s behavior was not extreme
by most contemporary standards, her sister revealed that
Temitope had numerous extramarital affairs.
Rumors in Philadelphia, where Adeyinka worked, had been
swirling that he was had extramarital affairs and was
physically abusive to her—which drove Temitope to murder
him. However, Temitope’s sister stated, “whatever she is
saying [about him cheating], she is just trying to cover up
what she has done. He would never cheat on her.”
Temitope’s sister also revealed to SaharaTV that she
witnessed Temitope cheating on Adeyinka. She said
Temitope “has been the one cheating on him, I can count
five that I know of that she has cheated with. When I
confronted her, I told her there is no need to be in the
marriage if she didn’t love him. I noticed about two and a
half years ago, she’s been coming in with some [more
men].”
Shockingly, it was also revealed during the interview that
Temitope had turned to Black Magic, and may have been
practicing rituals. Temitope’s sister believes that she may
have been under the influence of these forces when she
killed her husband.
Temitope began scaring her sister when she first started

and he told me to pray.”
Adeyinka also spoke to his sister-in-law about Temitope’s
experimentation with magic, according to her.
“She [Temitope] was in Nigeria when he [Adeyinka] found
some of the things that she had under the bed. I wasn’t
there but according to him he has not been happy with the
whole issue and he was praying about it. For 3 nights he
didn’t sleep in the bedroom,” she said.
Temitope’s sister also alleges that Adeyinka told her that
he discovered a secret stone in the house, tainted by Dark
Magic, which he believed was being used against him.
When asked what she felt the media and listeners should
know, she told SaharaTV that “I want them to know that he
was a very good man. He didn’t deserve to die.”
Adeyinka Adebamiro was buried on Saturday May 2nd in
Philadelphia. Presently, Temitope Adebamiro is
incarcerated at the Delores J Baylor Women’s Correctional
Institution where she is being held without bail and
awaiting formal arraignment by the court.
According to court documents provided to SaharaTV by The
News Journal in Delaware, she is held on charges of first
degree murder and possession of a deadly weapon during
the commission of a crime.

Military moves 275 Boko Haram hostages to relief camp

Nigeria’s military authorities on Sunday moved 275 women
and children to a relief camp, days after rescuing them from
Boko Haram’s stronghold in the Sambisa forest, the state-
run emergency agency said.
The freed hostages, among almost 700 women and children
rescued from Boko Haram’s clutches last week, had been
traumatised and malnourished by their ordeal, the military
said.
They were taken to the camp in Yola for profiling,
counselling and rehabilitation.
“The 23 Armoured Brigade of the Nigerian Army based in
Yola, Adamawa State, has handed over 275 rescued women
and children from the insurgents in Sambisa forest to the
National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for
rehabilitation,” the agency said in a statement.
NEMA chief Muhammad Sani Sidi said the agency had made
the necessary arrangements for trauma counselling and
other forms of assistance to enable the hostages recover
and return to normal life.
Sani Datti, the spokesman for the agency, told AFP the
personal data of the hostages had been recorded.
“Their personal data, including names, age, and place of
origin were taken,” he said, adding that those wounded
during the rescue operation had been hospitalised.
“Eight women and 15 children have been taken to the
hospital for treatment for injuries they sustained during the
rescue operation,” he said.
- Traumatised by their ordeal -
He said most of the hostages were traumatised by their
ordeal in Boko Haram camps.
“Most of them looked tired and traumatised. They were
unkempt. From their looks they haven’t had a bath for
days,” he lamented.
The women and children were provided with food,
mattresses, blankets, mosquito nets, soap and detergents.
Nigerian troops rescued almost 700 hostages from their
captives in Sambisa forest between Tuesday and Thursday
last week, promising to go on and free all those still in
captivity.
According to Amnesty International Boko Haram has seized
about 2,000 women and girls since the start of last year.
Female former hostages have described being subjected to
forced labour and sexual and psychological abuse as well
as sometimes having to fight on the frontline alongside the
rebels.
The military has released a series of photographs purporting
to show some of the rescued women and children at an
undisclosed location, huddled on the ground watched over
by soldiers.
It was still not clear if any of the 219 girls snatched in April
2014 from their school in the northeastern town of Chibok
were among the freed hostages.
The military said they were still screening the freed
hostages with a view to establishing their identities.
The mass kidnapping in Chibok prompted global outrage
and forced President Goodluck Jonathan to accept
international help in the search operation for the missing
girls.
Jonathan has come under severe criticism for not doing
enough to secure the release of the Chibok girls as well as
end the six-year-old Boko Haram insurgency that has
claimed some 15,000 lives and forced at least 1.5 million
people to flee their homes.
Many analysts believe the protracted Boko Haram uprising
was partly responsible for Jonathan’s defeat in the March
28 presidential election to former military ruler Mohammadu
Buhari.
Buhari, who is due to assume office on May 29, has vowed
to crush the militants who want to create a hardline Islamic
state in northeast Nigeria.

Workers beg Buhari to raise minimum wage

Nigerian have workers appealed to the
incoming government of Muhammadu Buhari to
devise a means of improving the welfare of
workers so as to engender industrial harmony.
Speaking with NAN in separate interviews in
Abuja on Friday, the respondents decried the
fact the minimum wage still remained N18, 000
despite the harsh economic condition in the
country.
They were speaking after the May Day
celebration (pictured) in the federal capital
They advised the incoming government to
institute an automatic minimum wage review
mechanism in line with realities.
Bala Hadi, national president of the
Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria
(PASAN), advised the government to take the
welfare of workers more seriously in order to
win their support.
He expressed displeasure government workers
had not received their April salary, even as the
May day was being celebrated.
“You can see that workers are out in large
numbers to celebrate May Day, but it is
regrettable that most government workers have
not received their April salary, and this is not
acceptable,” Hadi said.
“Already, the welfare of Nigerian workers is
very poor when compared to their contribution
to nation-building; they are grossly
underpaid.’’
He said that the N18,000 minimum wage was
long overdue for an upward review and advised
the incoming government to address the issue.
“The minimum wage of N18,000 is long overdue
for review and since the present government
will soon leave office, I advise the new
government to do that as a matter of urgency.
“The new government should initiate a living
wage to ensure that workers are able to meet
their personal needs and those of their family
members.
“Our expectation is that the government will
initiate a mechanism to ensure an automatic,
periodic review of salaries so that distractions
like strikes can be avoided.”
Julius Ada, a member of the Construction
Workers’ Union, advised the government to
improve the plight of construction workers in
the country.
He complained that most construction
companies were being controlled by foreigners
who do not treat their Nigerian counterparts as
equals.
“We really need government support in the
construction industry so as to create a level
playing field for Nigerian construction workers,”
he said.
“We also need government intervention to help
boost the construction industry so that
construction workers can enjoy sustainable
employment.”

Bode George sowing seeds of discord, says PDP

Adewale Oladipo, national secretary of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has accused
Bode George, former deputy chairman of the
party, of “playing divisive politics by
attempting to pit party members against one
another” in the PDP.
Oladipo was reacting to a communiqué
reportedly issued by PDP leaders in the
southwest calling on him to resign. He said he
would not resign, positing that a few
individuals were bent on sowing a seed of
discord in the southwest zone of the PDP.
“My attention has been drawn to a
communiqué purportedly issued by some PDP
leaders in the southwest calling on me, the
national secretary, Adewale Oladipo and the
national auditor, Adewole Adeyanju, to resign
from the National Working Committee,” a
statement signed by Oladipo read.
“According to the communiqué, the resignation
was to pave way for the dissolution of the
National Working Committee as the fallout of
the 2015 general election.
“However, a very careful examination of the
inherent breaches in the procedures adopted in
the convening of the meeting as well as the
content and tone of its resolution shows an
orchestration by a few individuals bent on
sowing a seed of discord within the PDP fold in
the zone.
“This is evident in the fact that the said
communiqué in no way reflected the views of
majority of those who attended the meeting,
neither did it tally with the opinion of the
generality of our party members in the region.
“It is indeed undermining and a clear breach of
protocol the fact that a meeting of some leaders
of the zone would be convened to discuss
issues of the party’s Presidential campaigns
and the highest-ranking national officers of the
party from the zone were excluded. This is in
continuation of the apparent marginalization of
the National Working Committee and the party
structure at all levels in the handling of the
presidential campaigns.
“Moreso, even some of those who attended the
meeting were not privy to the agenda and the
eventual content of the communiqué issued at
the end. In view of the above therefore, it will be
absolutely unpatriotic and against the wishes
and aspirations of majority of our party
members from the southwest through whose
mandate we occupy the offices of the National
Secretary and the National Auditor respectively,
if we concede to the demands in the
communiqué, especially given the fact that as
elected members of the National Working
Committee, our positions have a tenure which
lasts until March 2016.
“Moreover, members of the PDP in Osun state,
my primary constituency, have already passed
a vote of confidence on me in my capacity as
the National Secretary.
“Furthermore, while some of those asking us to
resign performed very poorly even in their
polling units, it is on record that the National
Auditor and my humble self performed
creditably and delivered our areas in the
general election.
“It is therefore disheartening that rather than
joining other well-meaning members of our
great party in supporting the National Working
Committee in the ongoing re-engineering
process to rebuild the PDP, some elders from
our zone, particularly, a former deputy national
chairman, Olabode George, who should know,
have instead resorted to divisive politics by
attempting to instigate our members against
one another.
“What our party needs now in the southwest
and indeed across the country is for all hands
to be on the deck as we work harmoniously in
our determination to reposition the PDP to
regain power in 2019.
“Our party members are by this therefore
charged to watch out for individuals whose
agenda is to sow seeds of discord and pave
way for crisis within our fold for their selfish
interests.
“The National Working Committee is now more
than ever before determined to rebuild the PDP
and restore its glory as the preeminent political
party in Nigeria. This resolve is irrevocable and
we shall not allow ourselves to be distracted in
anyway by any person under any guise
whatsoever.”

Oronto will never betray you - Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has extolled the
virtues of Oronto Douglas, his special adviser
on research, documentation and strategy, who
died on April 9, 2015 after a seven-year battle
with cancer.
He was speaking at the commendation service
in Douglas’ honour at the St Peter’s Church of
Nigeria Anglican Communion, Yenagoa,
Bayelsa state, on Saturday.
Jonathan said: “Oronto is somebody who is so
dedicated to service, totally committed. If he
believes in you, he will never betray you. He
will stand by you until the end. Even if you are
dying, Oronto will want to die with you.
“In politics, most people will be with you when
things are okay but immediately when the wind
turns they will disappear. But Oronto is not that
kind of a character.
“I have worked with him as a deputy governor
when he was a commissioner. He has been
with me for eight years in Abuja. So I am one of
those who can clearly attest to the qualities of
Oronto. He was dedicated.”
He said he was particularly pained because
Douglas was committed to documenting all his
activities.
“When I moved to Abuja as the vice-president
(in 2007), I appointed him to be my adviser on
research and documentation. I am the most
documented president for now because of
Oronto. I don’t even know the number of
volumes he has written,” he said.
The president also recalled the last days of the
former environmental activist, who returned to
the country from the US on March 26 after his
doctors told him he had only a few weeks more
to live.
“I remember when Oronto came back from his
last journey to the US. When he was there and I
contacted him, he said the doctors told him that
he would die in three weeks and that he could
decide to stay back in the US and die and that
they would send his body to Nigeria for burial.
“He said if he wanted to come home, he needed
to come back a little early so that he would be
strong enough to board the flight. He told me
that he decided to come back because staying
in the US would incur more cost. People will be
paid to take care of you until you die. Of
course, bringing the body home too will be
more difficult. So he decided to come back.
“He came home and I visited him one week
after, that was two weeks to the time he was to
die and I expected to see somebody who would
be so sad, but not Oronto. All his discussions
with me were how to document this, document
that, to immotalise this.
“In fact, he was not talking as somebody who
was sick. He was very, very courageous, very
strong willed. Oronto was Oronto until the last
moment. You hardly see such characters. He
was selfless. In fact, he was not interested in
accumulating wealth,” he said.
Jonathan condoled the widow, Tari, and two
sons, Ogei and Daniel.
“Just be happy that your father is leaving at a
time that people appreciate him. Your father is
leaving without stains. Your father is leaving as
a noble person.
“If you appear anywhere today and tomorrow
and describe yourself as a son of Oronto
Douglas, people will know you. Most of us
know him across the Niger Delta and indeed the
rest of the country because of his involvement
in civil society activities.
“People are appreciative. That alone is a big
gift that silver and gold cannot get for you. As
long as we are alive, we will continue to give
any assistance that is required,” he said.
Douglas would have clocked 49 on August 6.

NEMA meets military on relief for rescued girls

The National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA) says it has established contact with
the military towards providing support to
hundreds of women rescued from insurgents
hideout in Sambisa forest in Borno.
Abdulkadir Ibrahim, spokesman of the north-
eastern division of the agency, said this in a
statement released in Maiduguri on Sunday.
“NEMA has established contacts with the
military to deliver immediate relief support to
the women that were recently rescued by the
troops from camps of the insurgents in Born,”
Ibrahim said.
He said that NEMA’s director-general,
Muhammad Sidi, sent a team to visit the 7
Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri last
week to begin procedures for providing support
to the women.
“The DG, who was represented by the director
of relief and rehabilitation, Mr Udemezue Ezeh,
said that at the meeting, the agency had
prepared some relief support for immediate
distribution to the rescued women.
“Ezeh presented the items to the military and
requested their assistance in the delivery of the
items to the women. The items presented
included food materials and sanitary items.
“The general officer commanding of the division
was represented by the chief of staff, brig.-Gen.
Hamisu Hassan at the meeting. Hassan
appreciated the prompt response of NEMA and
assured necessary cooperation towards the
support of the women.”
He added that Ezeh visited some IDP camps in
Maiduguri to assess the level of NEMA’s
intervention before leaving for Abuja.
“At the various camps hosting the rescued
IDPs, Ezeh expressed satisfaction with the
arrangements and cooperation among the
stakeholders, including the state officials.
“While flagging off the distribution of more relief
support for the IDPs, he assured that efforts
would be made to address some of the
identified challenges at the camps.”
On three different occasions last week, the
Nigerian military said it rescued hundreds of
girls and women abducted and kept in Sambisa
by Boko Haram.
On Tuesday, it put the figure at 200 girls and 93
women .
Then on Thursday, Sani Usman, acting director
of army public relations, announced that troops
had rescued additional women and children .
The following day, it announced that 234
women and children had also been released
from the grip of the insurgents.
The three liberations, all from Sambisa, are
unconnected with the April 14, 2014 abduction
of more than 200 girls from Chibok, Borno state

Troops intercept Boko Haram food, fuel supplier

The military has intercepted a man said to be supplying fuel
and food to Boko Haram terrorists.
According to a statement by the Director Defence
Information, Major General Chris Olukolade , the military
intelligence has been trailing the man until he was
eventually arrested in Daban Shata , a suburb of Baga , Borno
State in the early hours of today May 3.
The supplier is presently being interrogated.
Similarly, troops on patrol also discovered 260 women and
children in the outskirts of Chalawa village in Adamawa
state , where they were said to have been stuck while trying
to escape from the Boko Haram militants.
Some of the were said to have abandoned their homes when
Madagali was attacked.
The military said it has conveyed the people back to their
various communities in Madagali after undergoing the
normal security profiling.
It would be recalled that troops flushed out terrorists in
Madagali following an onslaught on territories under the
rule of Boko Haram.
The statement added, “a number of terrorists however died
in an encounter with troops who caught up with them as
they fled prior to the recovery of the women and children.
Some of the terrorists still managed to escape with varying
degrees of gunshot wounds. Others who were captured are
now being interrogated by intelligence officers.
“A machine gun, some rounds of ammunition, as well as
some motorcycles and bicycles were also captured from
the terrorists. A member of the vigilante group serving as
guide to the troops was however wounded.
“Meanwhile the operation in Sambisa forest is continuing
as troops are methodically searching every aspect of the
expansive terrain.
