Bobbi Kristina Brown Reportedly Died from Combination of Alcohol, Drugs & Drowning

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office has released a statement that revealed Bobbi Kristina Brown died from a combination of alcohol, drugs and drowning, but it's still unclear whether her death was murder, suicide or an accident. 

According to the statement, Bobbi Kristina died of lobar pneumonia, which was caused by the combination of drugs found in her system, drowning and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy - a neurological condition resulting from a lack of oxygen to the brain.

The medical examiner's office says the drugs involved in the cause of death included marijuana, alcohol (ethanol), benzoylecgonine (a cocaine-related substance), benzodiazepines (medications used for sedation or to treat anxiety), and morphine.

'It could not be determined from toxicology tests whether the morphine resulted from heroin use.'

They also said the autopsy alone could not reveal the underlying cause of death because of the long interval between Brown being found unresponsive in the bathtub and her eventual death.

Court Grants Moro Bail on Self Recognition

The former Minister of Interior, Abba Moro has been granted bail on self recognition, by Justice A. I Chikere of the Federal High Court, Abuja. Moro had spent three days at Kuje Prison, Abuja, before the order for his release by the court. 

While delivering her ruling, Justice Chikere held that Moro had no criminal record and was a public officer, therefore, she believed that he would not jump bail. After her ruling, she fixed April 27 for the commencement of trial.

On Wednesday, she fixed Thursday for ruling on the bail application of Moro after listening to the arguments of the prosecuting and the defense counsel. 

Uche Chris (SAN), counsel to Nwobia, had asked the court to grant his client bail, arguing that she was a nursing mother and a victim of circumstance in the case. The court had granted his request but remanded Moro, the first defendant, in the case in prison. According to the EFCC, “Moro, Anastasia Daniel Nwobia, F O Alayebami, Mahmood Ahmadu (at large) and Drexel Tech Nigeria Ltd allegedly defrauded a total of 675, 675,000 Nigerian applicants to the tune of N675,675,000, representing N1000 per applicant through e-payment for an online recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Immigration Service on March 17, 2013.”  

However, the third and the fourth accused persons, Nwobia and F O Alayebami, were granted bail in the sum N100m and one surety each in like sum. According to the court, the sureties must be directors in the federal civil service. The two accused persons must also submit two recent passport-sized photographs.

(pictures) EFCC arrests suspected internet fraudster

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested a suspected internet fraudster, Tonwerigha Tombrown, for allegedly duping an Irish businesswoman, Izabela Glogowska, of €53,000 (equivalent of N11.6million) in an online scam.

Glogowska alleged that Tombrown, who posed as a prominent online trader, Michael Freeman, tricked her into sending him €1,000 via Western Union/Money gram as payment for a business deal, a statement by the EFCC said Friday.

She added that he later pretended to be one Ben Andrews demanding additional €10,000 claiming that there was a policy change.

The same Andrews advised her to send the money to Tombrown in Nigeria, and the money was later diverted to a fake account.

Efforts to recover her money proved abortive, hence she petitioned the EFCC

Oshiomhole replies Senator Dino Melaye over ‘made-in-Nigeria wife’ comment

 The Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Friday said the senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, displayed “hollowness” by delving into a matter as private as his marriage to his wife.
According to a statement issued by the governor’s spokesman, Peter Okhiria, he said the attack was unprovoked, urging Mr. Melaye to apologise

“As a ‘nephew’ of the governor and member of the same party [with the governor], we expected Senator Melaye to tender an unreserved public apology to the comrade governor''.

“It is an open secret that Senator Melaye cannot maintain a decent matrimonial home hence he could descend to this pedestrian level of using the hallowed chambers to ‘cargorise’ women as if they were pieces of items for purchase.
Any responsible individual that is truly worth to be called a senator, a position that convokes respect, decorum and decent public conduct, should know the limits of his verbal diarrhea.
The liberty of free speech guaranteed in the hallowed chambers does not impose lunacy on anyone to disparage other Nigerians, let alone pry into their matrimony in a very derisive manner.
“We had intended to ignore this uncomplimentary comment as one of the several empty displays of the senator, but the fact that it tends to reduce women to pieces of tissue calls for this response.
As we probed into Dino Melaye’s humanity, we were reminded that he is a man known for his vainglorious rodomontade and the childish display of his ostentatious lifestyle, which complement his love for foreign items.
“Many of such Euro-centric mentality he has persistently displayed on social media, to underscore his materialistic eccentricity, hence his dialectical opposition to made-in-Nigeria goods.
But an attempt at making women wear the garb of goods to be picked off the shelves was to take the issue to a ridiculous and irresponsible level.
By delving into the private affair and marriage of the comrade governor, Senator Melaye has exposed himself as a simpleton and a court jester whose words and tactlessness cannot be taken seriously by matured people. We advise that Mr. Melaye should mend his ways with his ex-wife and concubines before coming to the village square to display his crass ignorance and emptiness to the Nigerian people''.

“If he has anything to offer, Dino Melaye should concentrate on making good laws for the people of Nigeria rather than descend to a ridiculous level, thus displaying to the whole world his unworthiness to sit in the hallowed chambers of the Nigerian Senate,” the statement added

It will be recalled that earlier in the week, Senator  Melaye, who represents Kogi West senatorial district, had on Wednesday cited Mr. Oshiomhole’s marriage to a Cape Verdean as an example of Nigerians refusing to patronise made-in-Nigeria goods.

“What are those factors limiting the production of these goods? We must tackle them. We must also begin to look at our legislation, then we will begin to talk about made-in-Nigeria goods,” Mr. Melaye had said.

“We will also move in order to encourage made-in-Nigeria products and begin to talk about made-in-Nigeria women. 

Federal High Court rejects ex-Defence Chief Badeh’s application for bail

An Abuja  Federal High Court on Friday struck out a bail application filed by former Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh.

Justice John Tsoho said he could not give bail because there was a subsisting remand order by a Lagos Magistrate Court, and there was no application to set it aside.

The judge said Mr. Badeh, a retired Air Chief Marshal, only filed an application for bail, and not to set aside the order of the magistrate court obtained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The judge had on Monday reserved March 4 for his ruling on the bail application.

Mr. Badeh has been in the custody of the EFCC since February 8, and is facing a 10-count charge of criminal breach of trust and corruption to the tune N3.9billion. He denies wrongdoing.

Samuel Zibiri, counsel to the former defence chief, had asked the court to admit Mr. Badeh to bail on self-recognition or on liberal terms pending his arraignment by the anti-graft agency.

He argued that Mr. Badeh had voluntarily honoured the invitation of the EFCC on February 8.

Mr. Badeh was to be arraigned before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, but the case was shifted to March 7 owing to the absence of the judge.
