Father remanded for killing 41-day-old son
An Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court, Lagos, on Thursday remanded in Ikoyi
Prison a 34-year-old bricklayer, Abiodun Otaoroju, for allegedly killing
his 41-day-old son.
The defendant is facing a two-count of murder and administering obnoxious substance.
His plea was, however, not taken as the court has no jurisdiction to try such case.
“I hereby remand the defendant at the Ikoyi Prison, pending the outcome of the legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions,” Magistrate Helen Omisore said.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Idowu Onime, had told the court that the defendant, on August 30, unlawfully killed his son, Kazeem.
He said, “The defendant used an obnoxious substance known as ‘Bint El Sudan Perfume’ to kill the deceased.
“The defendant, who lives at 16, Aiyegbami Street, Ibeju Lekki in Lagos, was arrested by the police after the mother of the baby cried out to the neighbourhood for help.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the alleged incident, which took place in Epe, in Lagos State, contravened sections 221 and 241 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State, 2011.
Omisore adjourned the case to October 31, for the DPP’s advice.
Earlier, the accused had told reporters that, “I met Ronke in 2011. She’s a fashion designer. We later fell in love and early this year, she got pregnant. I went to meet her father and told him I wanted to marry her and he accepted.
“I have another wife and have three children. But I didn’t marry Ronke but I provided for her and made sure she was alright. In June, she gave birth to Kazeem and we had christening.
“I don’t live with them but I usually spend the weekend with them. On August 30, during one of my visits, I sent Ronke to buy bread and make me some tea. She left the baby with me.”
Otaoroju said when Ronke went out, he started hearing strange voices in his head commanding him to kill his child.
He said, “I went outside and bought a liquid substance known as Bint El Sudan, it’s a type of perfume.
“I took the substance, opened Kazeem’s mouth and poured it into it. I don’t know why I did that.”

Lagos Targets Guinness Book - 300,000 to Brush Teeth Simultaneously
Lagos State government, Wednesday, said over 300, 000 persons will simultaneously compete in the Lagos World Record Tooth Brushing Challenge in December, aimed at creating a new Guinness Book of Records in tooth brushing across the world.
The state government also said preventive dental health care department will be established in the entire Primary Health Care, PHCs, in the state.
Special Adviser to Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, Dr. Yewande Adeshina, who disclosed this, at a world press conference held yesterday at the World Oral Day, said that the project will commence with the establishment of two centres next month.
The current record of 177, 003 in tooth brush challenge was set by India in 2007. Adeshina said; "The toothbrush challenge programme tagged 'Do not wait: address your future now,' is not just solely aimed on shattering the world record on December 5 alone, but the challenge will also provide vital information for future research baseline on oral health planning in the state."
Some Weird Entries In This Year's Guinness Book Of Record (PHOTOS)
It’s been a record-breaking summer thanks to the incredible efforts of our athletes. But even the likes of Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis would struggle to compete with some of the entries in the latest Guinness Book of World Records.
Among the wacky wonders to find a place in the 2013 edition is Popeye lookalike Moustafa Ismail and his monstrous biceps, and a man with the tallest mohican hairstyle, measuring a towering 3ft 8in.
It’s not just humans either, with all creatures great and small snatching a few records — from a mighty Great Dane to a teeny bull.
Biggest biceps: Popeye lookalike Moustafa Ismail, 24, from Massachusetts, has spent ten years
pumping iron twice a day to get his 31in biceps. He eats lots of chicken rather than spinach – which he hates

The 57th version of best-selling reference book also features new verified entries for the world’s heaviest sportswoman and the most conquests of Mount Everest, as well as the tallest ever dog.
Being published in 22 languages in more than 100 countries, the 2013 Guinness World Records is expected to sell around 2.7 million copies and documents numerous new extremes relating to the human body.
These include 86-year-old Johanna Quaas, a retired PE teacher from Leipzig, Germany, who is named the oldest gymnast; Egyptian-born Moustafa Ismail, recognised for having the largest ‘guns’ – biceps and triceps – with a circumference of 25.5in; and London-based sumo wrestler Sharran
Alexander, who weighs 203.21 kg (32 stone), who was named the world’s heaviest sportswoman. Bodybuilder Mr Ismail, now living in Franklin, Massachusetts, has arms with a greater circumference than the average human head.
Biggest horse: Big Jake, a nine-year-old Belgian gelding, from Winsconsin, U.S., tops 20 hands – or almost 7ft
Tallest dog: Three-year-old Great Dane Zeus and his owner Denise Doorlag in Michigan.
On his hind legs, he towers over her at 7ft 4in

The 24-year-old, originally from Alexandria, Egypt, hopes his record-breaking status will be a springboard to become a professional body-builder. Among the new edition’s animal-based records are new bests for the shortest bull and the tallest dog, a Great Dane measuring 44in from foot to withers.
Tallest mohican: Japanese designer Kazuhiro Watanabe’s spear-like hairdo
peaks at more than 3ft 8in, thanks to three cans of hairspray and a large bottle of gel

Other records in the 57th edition of the book include the lowest roadworthy car – a vehiclecreated by students and teachers in Asakuchi, Japan, which measures 45.2cm (17.79in) from the ground to its highest part.
The City Montessori School in Lucknow, India, also enters the new edition, with a record enrolment of 39,437 pupils for the 2010-2011 academic year.

Microsoft Re-brands, Introduces Brand New Logo (What do you think?)
For the first time in 25 years, Microsoft has a new corporate logo.
From the story running in today’s Seattle Times:
Microsoft, which has used its solid, boldfaced, italicized logo since 1987, is expected to unveil its new, more colorful logo Thursday at the Boston opening of the 23rd Microsoft store. It will also appear Thursday at the Seattle and Bellevue Microsoft stores, as well as on the microsoft.com home page.The new logo, which incorporates a multicolored Windows symbol in addition to the “Microsoft” name in straightforward, lighter type, is intended to “signal the heritage but also signal the future — a newness and freshness,” said Jeff Hansen, Microsoft’s general manager of brand strategy.
It’s coming at a time when the company is preparing to launch new or significantly updated versions of nearly every one of its products, from Windows to Windows Phone to Office.
Many of those products will feature a new look and feel — cleaner, with fewer borders and less clutter, and more colorful tile-based designs.
Given all that, “we felt it was a good time to express the newness in the Microsoft logo as well,” Hansen said.

Woman kills and eats her two sons – ‘I thought they were pigs’
A mum butchered and ate her two young sons because she hallucinated and thought they were Pigs.
The Thai woman allegedly cooked and ate her children, aged one and five, and was found by police sleeping in her home surrounded by their body parts.
The woman, a member of a hill tribe from the mountainous region of Chiang Main near the Burmese border, had been suffering from mental illness since 2007 but had recently stopped taking her medication.
She had been left alone with her sons as her husband left for a few days to get her medication.
He said: “I had to go out of town for a couple of days. I told her that I would bring back the medication she needs.
“I never imagined that something like this would happen.”
Dr Kiattiphum Wongrachit from the Mental Health Department said: “The woman killed her children because she didn’t continue her treatment and didn’t take her medication.”
He added that it is believed that in her hallucinogenic state she thought her children were pigs and that she has yet to realise that she killed her children.
A hospital report from her treatment in 2007 stated that the woman suffered from hallucinations and believed someone was coming to hurt her.
The woman, whose name has not been released for her family’s protection, has been charged with murder, although details of the charge have yet to be released.
She has been deemed mentally unfit to fight her case and has been sent to Suan Prung Psychiatric Hospital in Chiang Mai for treatment.
