See How This Illegal African Teenage Immigrant Almost Died Inside A Lorry’s Spare Tyre Compartment While Trying To Get Into Spain

This tragic scene shows a desperate young illegal immigrant who nearly died after curling up inside a lorry’s spare Wheel. The determined teenage stowaway hid inside half of a spare wheel in the false bottom of the vehicle.

Spanish police said the young man could have suffocated because of the lack of air in the cramped space, petrol fumes and the scorching heatwave where temperatures have hit 40 degrees.

He was found by customs officers at Aduana de Beni-Enzar in Melilla where thousands of immigrants are trying to get across the border.

One boy was recently discovered hidden in a suitcase whilst others have unbelievably climbed into car engines or hidden under lorry axles. The stowaway pictured above was however not alone. Officers found two other immigrants in the same vehicle, both hidden in cramped spaces in a hidden compartment under the floor of the lorry.

They are all of Sub-Saharan Africa nationality aged between 18 and 25. All three had to be given first-aid at the scene as officers feared they could die.

Police said the teenager hidden in the half wheel could hardly breathe and was unable to stand up. The lorry driver, a 39-year-old Spanish man, was later arrested for an offence against the rights of foreign citizens.

Police Arrest Wicked 78-year-old Man For Ra.ping An 11year Old Girl So Many Times She Lost Count

A 78-year-old man, Alhaji Dauda Adebowale,has been arrested for allegedly ra.ping an 11-year-old girl, Remilekun (pseudonym).The

incident was said to have happened in Pen Cinema, in the Agege area of the state.

The first rape occurred sometime in June 2015, when Remilekun was passing by a shop where the old man, who hails from Abeokuta, Ogun State, lived .He had called to send her on an errand.

When she returned, he was said to have dragged her into the shop and ra.ped her, threatening to kill her if she divulged the act to anyone.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Adebowale cashed in on the minor’s fear and thereafter ra.ped her on several occasions.

However, trouble started for the suspect on Sunday, August 2, when Remilekun, who was reportedly sleeping beside her mother in the afternoon of the fateful day, suddenly woke up, shouting ‘pe.nis, pe.nis’ to the amazement of the mother.

The woman, who did not want her name in print, said haggard-looking Remilekun opened up to her after she pestered her.

She said,

“On that Sunday, I was ill and was sleeping. She also slept beside me. She suddenly cried out, shouting, ‘pe.nis, pe.nis, pe.nis’. I was shocked. When I asked her what happened, she said it was a man on our street that had been having se.x with her.

“I followed her to the man’s house. Some boys confronted him and he confessed to them. I then reported him at the Area G Police Command in Ogba and he was arrested. I took my daughter to a hospital for tests because she has become lean. The medical result showed that her va.gina had been tampered with and I have given it to the police.”

The victim, a primary two pupil, who spoke with our correspondent in Yoruba, said she could not count the number of time the septuagenarian had ra.ped her, adding that she dared the threat because she could no longer bear the harassment.

, “I was passing by a shop on our street one Saturday afternoon when he called me. He was sitting outside the shop and told me to help him bring a document inside the shop. I was about to leave after I gave him the document when he dragged me inside and locked the door.

“He covered my mouth and ra.ped me. He threatened to kill me if I told anybody. The following day, he called me again and repeated the same thing. I can’t remember how many times he had se.x with me. Whenever I told him I would tell my mother, he would say I was playing with my life.

“When I could no longer bear it, I opened up to a woman in our area and she promised that she would make sure the man was evicted from the shop.

“It was few days after that my mother said she heard me shout ‘penis’ while I was asleep.”

Remilekun’s sister, Tokunbo (pseudonym) said she had narrowly escaped being trapped by the suspect not knowing that her younger sister had fallen victim.

She said,

 “He called me two weeks ago and told me that he liked me. He promised to take care of me if I cooperated.

“I said I did not understand and managed to run away. I told my mother when I got home and she warned me to stay off his reach.”

The suspect was arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on three counts bordering on ra.pe

23-year-old Admission Seeker Commits Suicide By Hanging Himself To A Ceiling Fan In Lagos

On Sunday a 23-year-old, identified only as Ugochukwu, was found hanging in his apartment in Festac. It was gathered that on Sunday at

about 12pm, Ugochukwu’s mother, identified only as Ngozi, and his two siblings came back from church to find him hanging in the sitting room, dead.

The family members were said to have raised the alarm which brought neighbours to the scene, as everyone was taken aback at the sight of Ugochukwu’s dangling body.

The 23-year-old reportedly used a rope to hang himself from a ceiling fan.

The matter was said to have been reported at the FESTAC Police Division, and the officers reportedly came to remove the corpse.

A police source said that Ugochukwu’s relations said the deceased did not give any clue as to why he committed suicide.

He said:

“Nobody can say why he committed suicide. But two Sundays ago, they caught him mixing cement to drink. The family members had actually gone to church, and he had stayed behind. It was a nieghbour who caught him and alerted the family members.

“But all efforts made to find out from him, what went wrong reportedly proved abortive, as he refused to tell anyone anything, including his mother.

“This morning, the family members went to church again, and Ugochukwu decided to stay back. Nobody suspected anything. It was when the family members came back that they found his corpse.”

Another resident in the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the corpse had been taken to the mortuary by the police.

She said:

“Ugochukwu’s father’s whereabouts are unknown, but the boy has a younger brother and an elder sister.

“The corpse has been taken to the mortuary. Since he finished secondary school, he had not been able to secure admission. He took the UTME again this year.

“Everyone knows him as someone who did not talk too much. But no one knew exactly why he committed suicide. He was not working. He was usually at home. They were staying in a room and parlour. They are an average family.”

One of Ugochukwu’s neighbours, Oluja, said:

“I am shocked that Ugochukwu has passed on. I just returned from my church, only to learn that Ugochukwu was found hanging in his apartment.

“It was the policemen from FESTAC that took his body away. Everyone in the area is still in shock.

“I know that he had been worried about his admission to the university.

“He had tried several schools, but never made it. Also, he was having a financial problem. Maybe, it is the sum of these worries that made him commit suicide. He was a member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
